Remote TSP/NEG Control, J505 (Optional, MPCe only) 

 

The Remote TSP/NEG Controller requires a 15-pin Sub-D connector to facilitate communications between the 
MPCe and Remote TSP/NEG Controller.  This connection is made using a 15-pin Sub-D cable available from 
Gamma Vacuum.   

NOTE:

 Details of the TSP/NEG option are available in the Remote TSP Controller Manual. 

High Voltage/TSP Interlock, J506  (Optional) 

 

The remote interlock allows disabling of the high voltage outputs or TSP filament firing (if TSP option is installed).  
The interlock is installed at 

J506

 (on the back panel of the MPCe) if the option is installed. 

The interlock is configured to enable both high voltage outputs when the loopback plug (PN 380082 or 380079) is 
attached.  The user may install external interlock switches using the extra connector kit provided with the interlock 
option.   

To enable high voltage, short pins 1 to 3 and 7 to 9 for high voltage output one and high voltage output two (if 
available) respectively.  

 To enable the TSP (if installed), short pins 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 for TSP 1 and TSP 2 (if available) respectively.
