Controller Description
The integrated controller is a solid-state frequency converter which is
driven by a single chip microcomputer and is composed of a PCB
which includes a power supply with a 3-phase AC output, analog and
input/output section, microprocessor and digital section. The
controller recognizes the mains presence and converts the single
phase AC mains supply into a 3-phase, medium frequency output
which is required to power the pump.
The controller can be operated by a remote host computer via the
serial connection.
Diaphragm Forepump Description
The pump consists of an electric DC motor driving an eccentric
which moves an elastic diaphragm. The pump has four heads.The
compression chamber is hermetically separated from the drive
mechanism by means of the diaphragm.
The pump transfers, evacuates and compresses completely oil-free.
The motor is supplied with a voltage of 24 Vdc.
NOTE
A diaphragm pump cleaning from the humidity is recommended to improve the
system performance using dry air or nitrogen. It is recommended to open
manually the vent valve after every start command for about 30 seconds.
