Edwards recommends leak testing the system after installation has been completed.
Figure 10 - Typical pumping system with a nEXT pump
Ensure that all wires and piping are routed appropriately to avoid the risk of tripping.
Install the pump in the vacuum system before the logic interface cable is connected to the control
equipment and before the electrical supply is connected. This will ensure that the pump cannot
operate accidentally causing injury.
