OK
is indicated in the Turbo Speed Interlock field when the turbo
molecular is at speed and under normal operation.
OK
is indicated in the Vacuum field when the system has reached
normal operating levels.
Off
is indicated in the Vent Valve field when the turbo molecular in
under normal operation.
Pressure Raw is the raw output from the inlet differential pressure
transducer and flow sensor as a DAC reading. This is fitted to RMS
and solenoid assemblies only.
The RMS Ambient Temperature is the temperature recorded on the
inlet controller electronics. It is typically approximately 45°C.
The RMS Body Temperature as monitored by thermocouple in the
RMS block is normally set in the range of 50 to 120°C depending on
the application.
The RMS Controller Status indicates a value of
1
when the unit is
operating within normal limits.
The RMS Sample Flow Sensor is the calibrated output of the inlet
flow sensor (differential pressure transducer). It is displayed in cc per
minute.
The RMS Flow Zero is the zero flow output from the analogue flow
sensor.
The RMS Position is the RMS rotary arm position.
The RMS Sample Tube Current is the RMS sample tube heater
current.
