Powering on the MoniTorr
At pump’s power-on, the POWER LED comes on
and the system proceeds with its self-configuration
routine. Data acquisition and processing will be
automatically activated at the moment in which the
turbo pump reaches its maximum speed (Normal
Operation). The MoniTorr card is powered from
the controller.
Operation
At predefined intervals, the Monitorr will also ac-
quire the data related to the vibration spectrums,
power and temperature in addition to other data
detected by the Turbo controller. All the data must
be transferred to a PC (by means of the “File
Download” program) where are stored and where
can be analyzed by Varian’s specialised person-
nel.
Maintenance
The MoniTorr card doesn’t require any mainte-
nance. Any intervention must be carried out by
authorised personnel.
In case of failure, the Varian Repair Service is
available or Advanced Exchange Service that pro-
vides you with a regenerated controller in re-
placement of the faulty one.
MoniTorr Installation on the Network and on
the Main PC
The RS-485 interface allows connecting more than
one system in network (up to 32). In this way it is
possible to download all the spectrums data with a
single PC through a protocol converter (P/N
9699258 and 9699259) which operate as a gate-
way from 485 to 232 link.
The controller provides the serial address of the
MoniTorr option. Every controller must therefore
have a different serial address so as to avoid con-
flicts on the network. Every controller has “0” de-
fault serial address. So the user must set the
controller’s address.
The following figure shows the connection of the
MoniTorr to the RS485 network.

NOTE
The protocol converter is not strictly needed for
MoniTorr operation. It is also possible to use the
standard RS232 to RS485 converter and the stan-
dard optical to RS232 converter.
In order to install and operate the MoniTorr card of
the Turbo-V 3K-G it’s necessary to use the Monitor
Connectivity Kit (P/N 969-9260). The user should
install it on any windows based PC with at least
one RS232 port.
MoniTorr Connectivity Kit Installation Procedu-
re
1. Install the File VT Serial Address Configurator
on PC (launch VT-SAC\setup.exe on CD
Rom)
2. Connect the RS232 cable between the PC
serial port and the first TV 2KG serial port
3. Launch the VT Serial Address Configurator
program
4. Set the Serial Communication as following:
a. Baudrate 9600
b. COM Port = Your PC COM Port Number
(generally COM1)
c. Numeric: a different address for each
pump (0..1..2…..31)
d. Click on “Set the new address” button
5. Close the VT Serial Address Configurator pro-
gram
6. Repeat all operations from the point 2 choos-
ing a new address for each pump
