A 6 A, 250 VAC, form C, dry contact provides an indication that the spectrometer
tube pressure is low enough for proper operation.

❑

A 6 A, 250 VAC, form C, dry contact provides an indication that the filament is
operating.

❑

A 6 A, 250 VAC form C, dry contact provides an indication that the high vacuum
pump is operational and that it is running at the selected speed. This relay changes
state after the SENSITIVITY switch is changed while the pump shifts to its new
operating speed.
