Televac Active Wide Range Gauge
The Televac CC-10 is a self-contained, compact wide range vacuum gauge and controller employing the latest sensor technology. The CC-10 is able to replace multiple traditional gauges and provides the user with measurement capability from atmospheric pressure to 10-9 Torr. The gauge requires 22-26 VDC input power and provides the user with a digital pressure indication, analog output and RS485 digital communications. Three independent set points can be addressed from the instrument’s control panel, from a tethered remote display module or via RS485.
The CC-10 uses two sensor types to seamlessly measure a pressure range of 12 decades. An crystal sensor is used to measure from atmospheric pressure to 10-4 Torr and a double inverted magnetron cold cathode is used to measure from 10-2 to 10-9 Torr. Several flanges options are available.

Televac CC10 Active Wide-Range Vacuum Gauge
The Televac CC10 Active Wide-Range Gauge is a versatile, compact vacuum measurement solution that combines high-precision readings from 10-1 Torr down to 10-8 Torr, all in one rugged active Penning (cold-cathode) gauge. This makes it an ideal tool for R&D labs, thin-film systems, and vacuum ovens where accurate detection across a broad pressure spectrum matters.
Top Benefits of the CC10
- Wide dynamic range: One gauge covers both rough and high-vacuum, minimizing the need for multiple sensors.
- Active cold-cathode design: Offers filament-free durability and minimal contamination risk in comparison to hot-filament ion gauges.
- Compact form factor: Streamlined, robust housing—great for tight vacuum chambers or retrofit spaces.
- Fast response thanks to built-in ignition circuitry—it lights up quickly and delivers stable readings.
- Gas-independent performance: Calibrated for air/N₂ but maintains accuracy across different gases common in vacuum processes.
- OEM and process ready: Integrates seamlessly with Televac MX200 controllers or other compatible readout systems.
Typical Applications
- Vacuum ovens and furnaces for metallurgy or heat treatment.
- Coating chambers in PVD, CVD, sputtering, and evaporation systems.
- Research and process R&D environments where wide pressure coverage and reliable performance are key.
- OEM vacuum assemblies with limited panel space.
Technical Highlights
- Pressure range: Approximately 10-1 Torr down to 10-8 Torr (varies slightly with controller and conditions).
- Design: Compact active Penning (cold-cathode) sensor with integrated ignition electronics.
- Materials: Stainless-steel body ensures longevity in demanding environments.
- Mounting: Standard NW25/KF25 flange for easy integration.
- Cleaning & maintenance: No filaments—maintenance involves simple cleaning cycles to restore sensitivity, translating to lower long-term cost.
Why Over Hot-Filament Gauges?
Active cold-cathode gauges like the CC10 are ideal when reliability and longevity are critical. Compared to Bayard-Alpert or hot-filament ion gauges, the CC10 offers:
- No filament burnout, reducing downtime and consumable replacements.
- Greater contamination tolerance—well suited to bake-outs, outgassing, and occasional water vapor spikes.
- Consistent operation under vibration and thermal cycling.
Integration & Use
The CC10 is compatible with the Televac MX200 Gauge Controller and other Televac readouts. To build a full-range measurement system, combine it with a Televac 4A Convection Gauge or Thermocouple Gauge for atmosphere-to-rough vacuum coverage.
Best Practices
- Power up under vacuum: Avoid ignition at atmospheric pressure to extend lifespan.
- Periodic cleaning: If sensitivity declines, a solvent-based cleaning can restore performance quickly.
- Reference backing gauges: For accurate operation, pair CC10 with convection or diaphragm sensors above ~10-3 Torr.
FAQs
What pressures can the CC10 read?
Roughly 10-1 Torr down to 10-8 Torr, depending on your controller and chamber conditions.
Is it filament-free?
Yes. The CC10 uses an active Penning (cold-cathode) design—no filament, so it’s less prone to burnouts or contamination damage.
What controller do I use with it?
Use with Televac MX200 or another compatible readout that supplies ignition voltage and output signals. Ask us to tailor outputs to your DAQ or automation architecture.
