Vacuum monitor

Abstract

In order to provide a vacuum monitor that, even if a sensing mechanism is exposed to an atmosphere into which various types of material gases are introduced, enables the deposition of matter on the sensing mechanism to be prevented, and enables the lifespan of the sensing mechanism to be extended, there are provided a sensing mechanism that is in contact with an atmosphere inside a measurement space, and outputs an output signal that corresponds to a pressure inside this measurement space, and a heater that adjusts a temperature of the sensing mechanism, wherein a set temperature of the heater is adjustable.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
