Stage Specific Controls
The LinkPad displa y will change depending on the sta ge type connected to it, giving control over the unique functions of each specific sta ge.
Vacuum stages
This section applies to all stages with the ability to hold a vacuum, for example the THMS350V or TS1500V.
The only additional information displayed for vacuum stages with no motoris ed vacuum valve (MV196) is the current vacuum level, in mBa r, mTorr or
kPa . There are no additional controls .
Systems with the motorised va cuum (MV196) valve will see the following a dditional information:
1. Motoris ed valve sta tus indica tors
2. Vacuum level control
3. MV196 (motoris ed valve) operation
To set the vacuum level tap on the vacuum control (2) a nd enter the required value.
Mororised valve status indicators:
These indicators show at a gla nce the sta tus of the valve.
· The Max indica tor (1) will be illuminated blue when the vacuum level is at ma ximum - i.e. this light will be illuminated when the valve is in its fully
clos ed position.
· The Atmos indica tor (2) will be illuminated blue when the stage is at atmospheric press ure.
· The Moving indicator (3) will be red when the valve motor is a ctive, and green when it is idle.
MV196 motorised valve operation
This screen is for controlling the motoris ed valve ma nually, as opposed to via a pre-set ramp. When a ramp is in progress these controls will be
greyed out and inaccessible.
· ta p the Atmos button (1) to set the stage pressure to atmospheric pres sure.
