Commission the installation
After installing the T-Station 85, the system must be tested.
Use the following procedure to test the system:
1. Make sure that all the electrical connections are secure.
2. Switch on the electrical supply and the exhaust extraction system (if available).
3. To operate the system press the START/STOP key. Check that the equipment operates
as described in .
4. Check that the turbo pump reaches normal speed. If the pump inlet is valved or
capped off, it should take approximately 100 - 150 seconds for the turbo to reach
normal speed. If a vacuum chamber is attached to the pump inlet, this time may take
longer.
5. To turn OFF the system, press the START/STOP key followed by the ENTER key to
confirm. Check that the equipment closes down as described in .
