4.3.5 Solenoid Valves
The solenoid-controlled valves are a group of valves joined together as one
manifold assembly which is mounted to a bracket on the turbo molecular pump
foreline block. The valves are controlled by the Valves Aux I/O connector.
When solenoid valves are activated, compressed air from the input air supply
(ranging 58–100 psi (gauge) (4–6.9 bar) [400–690 kPa]) will open the appropriate
valve. The recommended setting is 75-80 psi (gauge) (5.17 to 5.52 bar) [517 kPa
to 552 kPa]. All valves are electropneumatically operated. There are six solenoid
valves: (See
.)
V0
—Foreline isolation valve and nitrogen purge valve on corrosive systems.
Automatically opened and closed by the start/stop of the pumping system.
V1
—Open for use with auxiliary valve (requires 1/8 in. pneumatic tubing)
V2
—Open for use with auxiliary valve (requires 1/8 in. pneumatic tubing)
V3
—Open for use with auxiliary valve (requires 1/8 in. pneumatic tubing)
V4
—Open for use with auxiliary valve (requires 1/8 in. pneumatic tubing)
V5
—Calibration reference

NOTE:
Each solenoid has a red indicator that illuminates when the solenoid is
activated.
