MINIVAC DESCRIPTION
The MiniVac controller is a quarter rack solid state
power supply with self protection features, which
generates high voltage using high frequency switching
technology.
The MiniVac ion pump controller is designed to operate
any type of ion pumps: Diode, Differential Diode,
Triode and StarCell.
The MiniVac controller is a very compact and light unit
capable of powering any size of pump at different
operating pressure.
Small pumps (up to 8 l/s) can be operated at any
pressure up to 1 x 10
-3
mbar.
Medium pumps (20 l/s to 60 l/s) can be operated at any
pressure up to 1 x 10
-5
mbar/Torr (continuous
operation).
Large pumps (120 l/s to 400 l/s) can be operated at any
pressure up to 2 x 10
-6
mbar/Torr (continuous
operation).
Medium/larger ion pumps must first be started with an
appropriate control unit and pumped to a sufficiently
low pressure where the current demand is below 8 mA.
The MiniVac controller is designed to withstand
continuous operation at short circuit condition, without
any damage to the ion pump or to the controller itself.
The MiniVac controller is available in four versions,
which differ in the factory-set input voltage and in the
high voltage output connector type.
•
Model 929-0190 KINGS type High voltage
connector (120 Vac, 50/60 Hz)
•
Model 929-0191 FISCHER type High voltage
connector (120 Vac, 50/60 Hz)
•
Model 929-0290 FISCHER type High voltage
connector (220 Vac, 50/60 Hz)
•
Model 929-0291 KINGS type High voltage
connector (220 Vac, 50/60 Hz)
A voltage change over allows to select different
operating voltages.
