STP-iXA3306 Series Turbomolecular Pump
3.9 Installation of the TMS unit
WARNING
The STP pump operates at high temperatures while the Temperature Management
System (TMS) unit is in operation. NEVER touch or remove the heater cover. It
causes electric shock or burns. NEVER touch the STP pump and its peripheral
equipment while TMS unit are in operation. Operators can burn hands.
The Temperature Management System (TMS) maintains the temperature of the turbomolecular
pump by monitoring the temperature with temperature sensor in the base of the turbomolecular pump,
and performing the TMS valve and TMS heater ON/OFF control in order to maintain a constant
temperature of the STP pump.
The control unit is always water-cooled. Connect the pump and TMS valve according to Figure 30.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the TMS unit in places with high temperature, humidity, noise, vibration, or other
unstable environment.
CAUTION
DO NOT apply force to the cables during installation and DO NOT place heavy objects on the
cables or bend them excessively.
