What it is

The Denton Vacuum DV-23 is a two position thermocouple controller used with a vacuum coating system to provide redundant measurement of foreline pressure and mechanical pump performance.[1][2][3]

How it works

The systems associated with the DV-23 use thermocouple and ionization gauge readings on the control screen, and the computer can manage gauge operation and interlocks automatically.[1][2][3]

The DV-23 provides a second thermocouple channel for foreline monitoring, which supports observation of the roughing side of the vacuum system during pumpdown and pump operation.[1][2][3]
