The Vacuum Gauge Controller VGC083B is a vacuum pressure measurement
system which is comprised of the following:
• The VGC083B Vacuum Gauge Controller
• One INFICON BAG051 nude or BAG052 / 053 glass I
2
R Bayard-Alpert hot
cathode ionization gauge or other equivalent brands of I
2
R glass/nude B-A
gauges
• One or two INFICON PGE050 convection enhanced pirani heads
1)
• Cables to interconnect the VGC083B and point-of-use devices
1)
The VGC083B will also operate the Granville-Phillips

convection enhanced pirani
vacuum gauge head.
Typical components of the complete vacuum measurement system are shown in
the figure below. The VGC083B provides power and operating control for either the
BAG051 or BAG052 / 053 ion gauge heads (IG). Additionally, it provides power
and operating control for up to two enhanced convection gauges (CG).

The VGC083B, a controller unit capable of controlling multiple gauge heads, is
either rack or instrument panel mountable. Optional industry standard 19-inch, 2U
high rack-mount panels are available to mount the unit into rack enclosures. For
important information about the PGE050 convection gauge please refer to the
PGE050 Operating Manual. Read the Operating Manuals in their entirety for any
device you intend to connect to the VGC083B prior to connecting and using the
external devices and cables that the VGC083B is intended to be used with.
