Active Digital Controller

The Edwards Active Digital Controller (ADC) is a compact single gauge controller and display. It features a bright LED display and simple push-button controls.

The ADC automatically recognises compatible Edwards gauges, loads the appropriate look-up table and displays the pressure in commonly used vacuum units.

Two versions are available; the standard ADC simply displays the pressure in choice of units, and the enhanced ADC includes a second gauge connection, two set-point relays, two analogue outputs and an RS232 interface. The ADC mkII enhanced controller can now support 2 different gauges, e.g. APG100 and AIM.
