1.5 Active utility control
Active Utility Control (AUC) is available on the iGX system. This function reduces the power of the iGX system while
on stand-by. The power reduction is achieved by reducing the rotational speed of the iGX pump. This function also
reduces the nitrogen purge of M variant systems while in stand-by mode.
Advanced Active Utility Control (AAUC) is also available. This function, in addition to AUC, can reduce the water flow
of the iGX system while on stand-by, therefore allowing further reductions in power. Contact Edwards for advice.
The AUC functionality is controlled by the on/off process signal from the Tool Interface Module (TIM).
