Thermionics offers four models of analog controllers to operate the following
thermocouple tubes:
- TG-6343M
- TG-6343/004M
- TG-7822M
- TG-500M
The suffix added to the model number
of the unit designates the tube type that must be used with a respective
meter (example: TGC-100A-6343 will operate a TG-6343M tube).
Depending on the tube type, the circuitry
is factory adjusted to provide the correct heater current, and the meter face is
calibrated to reflect the pressure in milliTorr.

TGC-100C
Benchtop with Setpoint
The TGC-100C is a cabinet-mounted thermocouple gauge controller. It provides
a degree of system control by the inclusion of relay contacts that close at a
pre-set setpoint. Besides the relay closure, the setpoint condition is also indicated on the
front panel face by a visible light-emitting diode (LED). The setpoint is adjustable
through the rear of the panel and can be easily changed without any
disassembly. Additionally, an amplified thermocouple
output is available for strip recorder or computer input.

TGC-400
Portable Controller
(Battery Powered)
The TGC-100B is a battery powered thermocouple gauge controller that is
intended to operate the TG-6343M or TG-6343/004M thermocouple tube offered
by Thermionics.
The unit comes in a compact chassis
for easy portability and remote use. It
employs inexpensive, easily replaced "C"
cell batteries, and no complicated rezeroing adjustment is required over the
useful life of the batteries. Battery lifetime is somewhat variable due to battery
manufacturers' specifications. However, factory
tested units have lasted over 700 hrs (~30 days) with continuous operation.
Periodic shutdown when not in use will
significantly prolong useful operation with one battery
set. Battery lifetime is easily monitored with
a battery check on the front panel.
The circuitry is factory adjusted to provide the correct heater current, and the meter face is calibrated to reflect the
pressure in milliTorr.
