▪ Measured motor controller temperature
▪ Measured bearing temperature
The analogue output signal rang
es from 0 to 10 V and is directly proporonal to the
system parameter (refer to Logic interface on page 18).
Connect the analogue output to a suitable meter or indicator to display the appropriate
system parameter or connect it to the customer control equipment (for example, to
operate other components in the pumping system at preset values).
Only one system parameter can be monitored at a me using the analogue output.
However, it is easy to congure the controller to monitor a dierent system parameter
(refer to Analogue signal opons on page 72).
3.3.5 Automac vent opons
The manufacturer's TAV vent valve can be connected directly to the motor controller.
The motor controller can provide a number of dierent venng opons and can be
congured for both a normally closed and a normally open vent valve.
The motor controller can control the rate of venng. Using this feature the pump can be
vented from full rotaonal speed in a controlled manner that will not damage the pump
bearings. Once the pump rotaonal speed has dropped to below 50% of maximum
speed, it is safe to hard vent (open the vent valve fully).
There are many venng opons available, including:
▪ Hard vent when rot
aonal speed drops below 50% speed
▪ Controlled vent when above 50% speed and hard vent below 50% speed
▪ Hard vent immediately through a suitable restrictor.
Controlled venng gives the benet of a quicker ramp down me by controlling the vent
rate through a single large orice across the pump speed range. A full list of the venng
opons is given in Vent opons, vent valve connecon and control on page 76.
In addion there is a feature that allows a delayed start of the nEXT pump. With this
feature, the vent valve can be closed before starng the pump. This allows the backing
pump to reduce the pressure in the vacuum system before starng the nEXT pump.
Both a TAV and a cooling fan can be controlled at the same me using the ‘Y’ cable
adaptor. No conguraon is required.
3.3.6 Normal speed seng
The normal speed is a user-selectable parameter that can be set from 50% to 100% of
full rotaonal speed.
When the pump reaches normal speed, a signal is available on the normal pin of the
logic interface connector. This signal can be used to control the applicaon since it
shows that pump speed, and therefore vacuum performance, has reached a specic
minimum level. The default seng is 80% of full rotaonal speed. Refer to Normal speed
seng on page 70 for instrucons on altering the normal speed seng.
3.3.7 Electronic braking
The pump has a user selectable electronic braking opon that is disabled by default.
With this opon disabled, the pump will draw power from the electrical supply
