Description

Televac MV2A Gauge Controller

The Televac MV2A vacuum controller (also called a vacuum control unit or vacuum pressure controller) can be connected to 1 Televac passive vacuum gauges (the 2A thermocouple). It includes a 0 to 5 V DC analog output for the gauge connected to the vacuum controller for simple integration with a PC or PLC, and 2 set point relays to act as a vacuum pressure controller for process control in your vacuum system.

The MV2A vacuum controller’s user interface includes a bright LED display of the current vacuum measurement and indication LEDs for the setpoints, which can be set via two buttons on the front panel. This vacuum control unit supports nitrogen/air, and Televac can provide compensation factors for argon, hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, and carbon dioxide. The MV2A is our simplest vacuum controller, providing an efficient, low-cost solution for various vacuum markets and applications.


Televac MV2A Gauge Controller — Compact Vacuum Monitoring for Rough to Medium Range

The Televac MV2A Gauge Controller is a streamlined, economical vacuum readout unit designed to support one or two active gauges—such as Pirani, convection, or thermocouple types—for applications spanning 1 × 10⁻³ Torr up to 100 Torr. With its compact housing, simple analog output, and direct gauge compatibility, the MV2A is ideal for OEM systems, retrofit panels, or standalone vacuum measurement setups where you need reliable performance without added complexity.

Core Benefits

  • Plug-and-play integration: Directly accepts one or two active Televac or compatible gauges—no additional electronics required.
  • Clear analog output: 0–10 V per channel lets you feed data easily into PLCs, DAQs, or display modules.
  • Compact footprint: Bench-top or panel-mountable design for tight spaces—ideal in OEM instruments or control cabinets.
  • Economical solution: All the control you need for basic vacuum ranges without premium features or form factors.
  • Robust build: Metal chassis supports industrial environments and provides secure installation.
  • Upgradeable format: Move up to the multi-sensor Televac MX200 controller when expanding system needs.

Intended Applications

  • Rough vacuum automation: OEM vacuum chambers, freeze dryers, and vacuum ovens.
  • Packaging and leak detection systems: Where dual-range monitoring (e.g., Pirani + convection) is sufficient.
  • Retrofit and upgrade projects: Replace legacy readouts with modern analog outputs and compact design.
  • Laboratory bench setups: Simple, reliable readouts for teaching labs or R&D rigs.

Technical Overview

  • Channels: Supports 1–2 active gauges (thermocouple, convection/Pirani, or similar).
  • Output: 0–10 V per channel for direct connection to downstream systems.
  • Mounting: Panel or bench mount with sturdy metal enclosure.
  • Display: Clear LED or LED-backlit readout (varies by model), optional scaling knobs available.
  • Compatibility: Works with standard active Pirani/thermal gauges such as the MX2A or MX4A.

Why Choose MV2A Over Full-Fledged Controllers?

  1. Simplified functionality: A great choice when you only need to monitor limited vacuum ranges—without the complexity or cost of full multi-channel controllers.
  2. Compact and cost-effective: Lightweight and drawer space-efficient compared to rack-mounted alternatives.
  3. Reliable analog outputs: Industry-standard 0–10 V ensures easy mapping to display or logging infrastructure.

System Integration & Expansion

Want to expand or automate your vacuum monitoring? Consider moving up to the Televac MX200 Gauge Controller for multi-gauge capabilities, relay set points, and advanced communications. Combine MV2A units with active gauges like the MX2A or MX4A to build a tailored vacuum sensing array for your system.

Installation Tips

  • Mount securely: Attach the MV2A in control panels with vibration damping or bracket supports for stability.
  • Label channels: Mark analog outputs clearly to avoid mix-ups between gauge inputs during wiring.
  • Scale outputs: Use matching gauge scaling to ensure analog output aligns with your display or automation logic.
  • Maintain cleanliness: Protect gauge heads from moisture or dust near installation to preserve sensor accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many gauges can I connect?

The MV2A supports up to two active vacuum gauges (like MX2A or MX4A), with one 0–10 V output per channel.

Does it support relay set points or digital I/O?

No. The MV2A is a basic analog controller. For relay or digital features, consider upgrading to the multi-function Televac MX200.

Can I use it alone in an OEM machine?

Absolutely—its compact size and analog output make it ideal for built-in integration in production tools or OEM panels.
