Behaviour of pump

rotaonal speed
falls below 50%
Either
parallel or
serial
control
mode
Regenerave power maintains all output signals during the
power failure. The pump will ramp to its designated speed
as quickly as possible aer the power has been restored.
Power is reinstated
aer pump
rotaonal speed
falls below 50% but
before
regenerave power
ceases
Either
parallel or
serial
control
mode,
mer
disabled
Regenerave power maintains all output signals during the
power failure. As the mer is disabled, the motor controller
will go into fail condion as soon as speed falls below 50%
and will display ashing error code 0. When the power is
reinstated, the pump will not ramp up
unl the error is
cleared. To clear the error, send a stop command (either
parallel or serial, depending on the control mode), then
send a start command to ramp the pump up to the
designated speed.
Either
parallel or
serial
control
mode,
mer
enabled
Regenerave power maintains all output signals during the
power failure. If power is reinstated before the mer period
expires, the pump will ramp up to its designated speed as
quickly as possible. If the mer period expires, the motor
controller will go into fail
condion and will display ashing
error code 3. As above, when the power is reinstated, the
pump will not ramp up unl the error is cleared. To clear
the error, send a stop command (either parallel or serial,
depending on the control mode), then send a start
command to ramp the pump up to the designated speed.
Power is reinstated
aer pump
rotaonal speed
falls below 50%
and the
regenerave power
ceases
Either
parallel or
serial
control
mode
Regenerave power ceases and fails to maintain output
signals. When power is reinstated, the pump with parallel
control will automacally restart if the start control on the
logic interface is set to start. The pump with serial control
will require a new start command to ramp the pump up to
the designated speed. Any fail signals that were triggered
during the
regenerave power period are lost when the
power is reinstated.
Bakeout
If the pump (and the vacuum system) are heated, the degassing process will speed up and the
pump will reach
ulmate vacuum in the shortest possible me. Heang the pump will also
prevent condensaon of vapours inside the pump.
WARNING:
Do not touch the bakeout band or surrounding surfaces during the bakeout process as
they will be hot.
