ow rates are specied, the abbreviaon 'sccm' is used to mean standard cubic
cenmetres per minute. This is a ow of 1 cm

2.1 Overview
WARNING: SAFE EQUIPMENT USE
Risk of injur
y or damage to equipment. Improper use of the equipment could cause
damage to it or injury to people. The user is responsible for the safe operaon,
installaon and monitoring of the system.
WARNING: ELECTROLYTIC
Risk of asph
yxiaon. The drive contains electrolyc capacitors and, under certain
fault condions, may emit dangerous fumes. Ensure that the drive is operated in a
well-venlated area.
CAUTION: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Risk of damag
e to equipment. Do not aempt to separate the controller from the
pump since this will cause damage to the electrical connecons.
A nEXT pump has a turbomolecular pump with a permanently aached controller which
has drive electronics.
The controller controls the electrical supply to the pump with the excepon of standby
speed control. The controller has no manual controls and can be operated through the
logic interface only. To operate the nEXT pump, connect it to the customer control
equipment and to the power supply or use the manufacturer's TIC Turbo Instrument
Controller or TIC Turbo Controller.
The controller drives the brush-less d.c. motor in the pump. Three variants of the nEXT
pump are:
▪ The 'S' or 'Simplex' variant which has turbomolecular blades.
▪ The 'D' or 'Duplex' variant which has turbomolecular blades and a drag mechanism
tha
t allows operaon at higher backing pressures than the pure turbomolecular
pumps.
▪ The 'T' or 'Triplex' variant which has turbomolecular blades, a drag mechanism and
a regenerave mechanism. The regenerave stage gives the opon to ulise
'boost' mode.
An 'iD' or 'iT' interstage variant gives an interstage port between the turbomolecular
blades and drag mechanism.
