B-RAX 3000/3100 FAQ
- What type of vacuum gauge sensors can the B-RAX operate?
-
The B-RAX can operate one InstruTech IGM400 hot cathode or one CCM500 cold cathode ionization vacuum gauge module and up to two CVG101 worker bee convection vacuum gauges.

- What is the measurement range of the B-RAX?
-
When used with the IGM400 hot cathode gauge:
1.00E-09 to 1,000 Torr
1.30E-09 to 1,333 mbar
1.30E-07 Pa to 133 kPa
When used with the CCM500 cold Cathode gauge:
1.00E-08 to 1,000 Torr
1.30E-08 to 1,333 mbar
1.30E-06 Pa to 133 kPa
- Is the B-RAX rack-mountable?
- Yes. The B-RAX is a half rack design. Optional mounting hardware is provided that can be used to install one or two B-RAX controllers side by side in a 19 inch wide rack.
- What is the difference between the B-RAX 3000 and B-RAX 3000?
- They are both 3-channel read out instruments. The B-RAX 3000 provides 3 set-point relays, no analog output and one alternate analog input from a capacitance diaphragm gauge (CDG) instead of a second convection gauge. The B-RAX 3100 provides 3 set-point relays, one analog output and no alternate analog input from a CDG.
- How do I connect the B-RAX to the vacuum gauge sensors?
- You need to acquire the cable assemblies offered by InstruTech.
- What gauge cable lengths are available?
- The standard cable lengths are 10 ft, 25 ft and 50 ft. InstruTech can provide longer cable assemblies if needed.
- What is the power requirement of the B-RAX?
- 100-240 Vac, 50/60Hz.
- What are the available output signals from the B-RAX 3100?
- 3 setpoint relays and 1 analog output. The analog output can be assigned to one of the three gauges or a combination of the ion gauge and one of the convection gauges for wide range measurements.
- What are the available output signals from the B-RAX 3000?
- 3 setpoint relays.
