Hello, this is Kitronyx.

It is common to encounter situations where a controller must be placed inside a vacuum chamber for pressure mapping measurements.

We conducted tests to confirm if a controller can be used under such conditions.


Tested Controller: Baikal II WIFI

Test Conditions:

  1. 0.1 Torr, 5-minute operation test – Normal operation
  2. 0.75 Torr, 30-minute operation test – Normal operation


The Baikal II WIFI model is equipped with an internal battery. 

According to the battery manufacturer, the battery operates without issues at 87 Torr for up to 6 hours.

The Baikal II controller can read a maximum of 48*48 sensor channels (a total of 2304 channels). 

Therefore, the maximum number of sensors that can be connected depends on the number of channels per sensor.


Example:

SFC4300CX (48*48 Ch = 2304 channels) -------------- Maximum 1 unit

Custom Sensor (48*12 Ch = 576 channels) 576 * 4 = 2304 channels ----- Maximum 4 units

* For simultaneous connection of custom sensors, a separate interface board development is required.


* Please note that the number of sensors may vary depending on the design of the custom sensor.

The controller itself does not support data storage or output functions. 

If you use external programs and separate data processing devices (PLC, DAQ, etc.), 

you cannot directly connect and communicate with the controller.
