Inhibit Pumps
When the
[VACUUM]
or
[PRESSURE]
key is pressed, the
[INHIBIT PUMPS]
key
appears. (See Figure 10.12.) When the
[INHIBIT PUMPS]
key is pressed, the
operation of the pumps is inhibited (no vacuum and pressure are produced), the
screen displays the message
Vacuum Is Inhibited
, and the key label changes
to
[ENABLE PUMPS]
. Press the
[ENABLE PUMPS]
key to enable pump operation.
NOTE:
The pumps are automatically enabled and control of them is returned to
the instrument when the screen is exited, even if the pumps were disabled
while in the screen.
This key is useful when performing maintenance or troubleshooting procedures
that require a vacuum or pressure line to be removed.
