Stage Specific Controls
The LinkPad display will change depending on the stage type connected to it, giving control over the unique functions of each specific stage.
Vacuum stages
This section applies to all stages with the ability to hold a vacuum, for example the THMS350V or TS1500V.
The only additional information displayed for vacuum stages with no motorised vacuum valve (MV196) is the current vacuum level, in mBar, mTorr or
kPa. There are no additional controls.
Systems with the motorised vacuum (MV196) valve will see the following additional information:
1.
Motorised valve status indicators
2.
Vacuum level control
3.
MV196 (motorised valve) operation
To set the vacuum level tap on the vacuum control (2) and enter the required value.
Mororised valve status indicators:
These indicators show at a glance the status of the valve.
·
The Max indicator (1) will be illuminated blue when the vacuum level is at maximum - i.e. this light will be illuminated when the valve is in its fully
closed position.
·
The Atmos indicator (2) will be illuminated blue when the stage is at atmospheric pressure.
·
The Moving indicator (3) will be red when the valve motor is active, and green when it is idle.
MV196 motorised valve operation
This screen is for controlling the motorised valve manually, as opposed to via a pre-set ramp. When a ramp is in progress these controls will be
greyed out and inaccessible.
·
tap the Atmos button (1) to set the stage pressure to atmospheric pressure.
