Transpector XPR 3+ Operating Manual
1.16.2  Installing the Isolation Valve
Transpector XPR 3+ should be installed on a 90° high-conductance isolation valve 
(1.5 in. [38 mm] outer diameter) mounted on the process chamber. This prevents 
line-of-sight deposits, from the plasma, from reaching the Transpector XPR 3+ 
Sensor. (See Figure 1-5.) The isolation valve may be provided by the user, or 
purchased from INFICON (see below). The isolation valve must be bakeable and 
needs to be fitted with a heating jacket designed for baking the valve.

1.16.2.1  Notes for Air Operated Valve
The INFICON supplied air operated valve is a 1/8 in. ported, 3-way, single solenoid, 
2-position spring return, Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC), general 
purpose air valve. It is configured for 2-way, NC use, whereby the EXH port is 
plugged and the air supply (60 - 100 psig) must be connected to the port 
labeled IN. (See Figure 1-6.)
The air pressure supplied to the valve must not exceed 
100 psig.
