2.3 Oper
aonal features
The pump has basic start and stop commands and some other features that allows the
pump operaon to be modied for an applicable applicaon. Refer to Table: Logic
interface technical data on page 27 for factory default sengs of the parameters given
in the secons that follows.
2.3.1 Power limit seng
Select the maximum power that will be drawn by the pump. The more power supplied,
the quicker the pump will accelerate to reach full speed.
If the applicaon requires fast cycling or higher gas loads, set the power limit to the
maximum value. If ramp me is not important in the applicaon, use a lower power
limit, down to a minimum value (refer to Table: Power limit seng on page 57). Also
ensure there is sucient cooling for the applicaon.
Ensure that the power supply is capable of delivering sucient power to the nEXT pump.
By choosing a lower power limit seng, a smaller power supply may be used. For more
informaon, refer to Electrical data on page 24.

2.3.2 Standby speed
In standby mode, the pump rotaonal speed is lower than the full rotaonal speed. The
default seng for standby speed is 70% of the full speed.
To operate the pump at standby speed, it must be in the start condion.
If operang the pump at maximum speed at all mes is not necessary for the
applicaon, use the standby speed feature rather than seng the pump to o. You can
use the standby speed feature for tuning the vacuum system or as a power saving opon
for the system.
The standby speed is a user‑selectable value. Refer to Standby speed seng on page 59.
2.3.3 Timer
When the pump is started, an internal mer is starts automacally in the drive
electronics. The default mer seng is 8 minutes.
If the pump fails to reach 50% of full rotaonal speed in the meout period, the motor
controller will signal a fail and decelerate the pump to rest. This feature prevents the
motor controller from driving the pump at maximum power for a long me. The pump
can fail to reach 50% speed if the gas load is too high (for example if there is a leak in the
system), if the backing pump fails or if the pump is too hot.
The meout period is user‑selectable (refer to Timer seng and opons on page 60). If
slow ramp‑up of the pump is necessary for the applicaon, extend the meout period.
The mer is permanently enabled for ramp‑up.
