Scope and definitions

This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards EXC120, EXC120E, EXC300 
and EXC300M Turbomolecular Pump Controllers (abbreviated to Controller in the remainder of this manual). You must 
use the Controller as specified in this manual.

Read this manual before you install and operate the Controller. Important safety information is highlighted as 
WARNING and CAUTION instructions; you must obey these instructions. The use of WARNINGS and CAUTIONS is defined 
below.

CAUTION

Cautions are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in damage to the equipment, associated 
equipment and process.

The following IEC warning labels appear on the pump:

The units used throughout this manual conform to the SI international system of units of measurement.

WARNING

Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to 
people.

Warning - refer to accompanying documentation.

Warning - risk of electric shock.
