This is the factory default seng for Valve 1 type and Valve 2 type.
When the pump is shipped, the controller is
congured with the factory default Vent opon 1
set to 0 and the Valve 1 type set to 0, as detailed in Table 6 on page 46 and Table 7 on page 47.
The controller can be congured to one of the other venng opons provided commands can
be sent via the serial interface or an Edwards TIC Turbo and Instrument Controller or TIC Turbo
Controller or the Edwards nST PC soware can be used via the USB serial port.
If the valve type is set to normally open, the controller only energises or shuts the TAV solenoid
valve when it receives a start command. Prior to that, the valve will be in the ‘open’ vent state.
If the vacuum system is a large system, allow the backing pump to reduce the pressure in the
system to an acceptable level before starng the nEXT85 pump. In this case, send a command
via the serial interface to close the vent valve before sending a start command – this is known
as a delayed start.
If the valve type is set to normally closed, and either vent opons 14 or 15 are used, the
controller will ensure that the TAV solenoid valve will only ever ‘open’ upon receipt of a stop
command. Therefore there is no need to send the delayed start command.
If the nEXT85 pump is being controlled with an Edwards TIC Turbo and Instrument Controller or
TIC Turbo Controller, the TAV solenoid valve can be driven from the TIC. Refer to the TIC
Instrucon Manuals for more informaon.
