4. UNPACKING THE CONTROLLER
4.1 Inspect For Any Obvious Damage
If the controller is damaged in any way, a claim should be filed with
the carrier immediately and notification given to customer center
where the order originated, and/or Gamma Vacuum.
If equipment must be retuned for inspection or repair, obtain a return
authorization from Gamma Vacuum prior to shipping. Contact
Gamma Vacuum for authorization and return instructions.
4.2 Check The Equipment Received
Ensure that all items shipped have been received. If any items are
missing, notify the carrier and Gamma Vacuum. Save all packaging
material for inspection.
5. SAFETY NOTICES
1.
Gamma vacuum controllers designed for ion pump operation
are capable of delivering 7kV under open-circuit or low-pressure
operating conditions. Gamma vacuum products are designed
and manufactured to provide protection against electrical and
mechanical hazards for the operator and the area surrounding the
product.
2.
Installation procedures are for use by qualified, authorized
personnel who have experience working with 50 volts or greater.
To avoid personal injury, do not perform any installation or service
unless qualified to do so.
3.
There are no serviceable parts inside the controller power-supply,
and voltages as high as 7kV may be present. Do not open the
supply case under any circumstances. In the event of the power-
supply requiring attention, return it to Gamma Vacuum.
4.
Do not disconnect the high-voltage cable with the power on.
After turning the power off, allow at least one minute before
disconnecting electrical equipment.
5.
Do not operate the controller without a proper electrical ground or
near water. The controller may be damaged and its safety reduced
if it is operated outside of its specifications.
6. INSTALLATION
The DIGITEL MPCq is a full 19 inch rack controller. No additoinal
hardware needed to install in a standard 19 inch wide device rack.
Maintain a 2.52 in. (64 mm) clearance behind controllers for cable
bend radius and proper airflow.
CAUTION:
This equipment uses a detachable
power supply cord. Do not replace with
inadequately rated supply cords.
6.1 Required Items
You will need the following items to install the controller:
1.
A 3-wire, detachable, universal input power cable (included).
2.
A high voltage (HV) cable for each pump (ordered separately).
3.
A safety ground cable for each pump (ordered separately).
6.2 Installation Procedure
1.
Place the controller in its location and secure as necessary.
2.
Connect the safety ground cable to the pump and the safety
ground stud at the DIGITEL rear panel.
3.
Connect the high voltage cable to the ion pump and the high
voltage connector on the DIGITEL rear panel (J501–J504).
4.
If high voltage cable has an optional safeconn feature (HV
interlock), an additional connector is part of the high voltage
cable. Connect it to the safeconn connector (J401–J404),
otherwise, use safeconn shorting jumper cable to connect to
safeconn connector (J401-J404). Safeconn interlock must be
satisfied, otherwise HV cannot be turned on.
5.
Verify correct input voltage requirements. Connect mains AC
power cable to input power receptacle on the controller rear panel.
