to below 50% of maximum speed, it is safe to hard vent (open the vent valve fully) provided
the backing pump is le on and the backing valve is open.
To use the nEXT85 controller funcon, the nEXT85 turbo pump controller has a 4-pin auxiliary
connector socket on the side of the pump, as circled in Figure 8 on page 47, to which the
vent valve with the auxiliary connector ed is plugged into.
The controller is capable of controlling a number of dierent venng opons. These are
dened in Table 6 on page 46.
The controller is capable of accommodang both normally open and normally closed vent
valve types. These are dened in Table 7 on page 47. A power cycle is required aer making a
change to the valve type, before the auxiliary output circuitry adjusts to accommodate the
requested change.

Vent valve opons
Opon number Descripon of vent funcon
0 Vent valve opens fully below 50% full rotaonal speed for either a stop
command or fail condion.
*
1 Controlled venng from 100% to 50% full rotaonal speed and then vent
valve opens fully below 50% for either a stop command or fail condion.
2 If a stop command is received, vent valve fully opens immediately. In a
fail condion, vent valve opens fully below 50% full rotaonal speed.
3 If a stop command is received, vent valve fully opens immediately. In a
fail condion, controlled venng from 100% to 50% full rotaonal speed
and then vent valve opens fully below 50%.
4 In a fail condion, vent valve fully opens immediately. If a stop command
is received, vent valve opens fully below 50% full rotaonal speed.
5 In a fail condion, vent valve fully opens immediately. If a stop command
is received, controlled venng from 100% to 50% full rotaonal speed
and then vent valve opens fully below 50%.
6 Vent valve fully opens immediately for either a stop command or a fail
condion.
