It consists of a MEMS thermal conduction sensor (Pirani sensor), measuring electronics, and a microprocessor, packaged in an. ultra-compact PCB assembly, and is enclosed in a stainless steel housing with ISO-KF fittings.
The electronics and microprocessor amplify and digitize the sensor signal, and provide a digital output via an I2C interface. Because the thermal conductivity of a vacuum varies with the ambient temperature, a temperature-compensation algorithm is implemented in the microprocessor, taking input from a built-in temperature sensor.
The PVC5100 includes a connector-terminated wire harness to facilitate integration and supports ISO-KF fittings.
