the regulating mechanism is self- venting, vacuum is automatically released when 
the regulator setting is decreased. Although the vacuum gauge cannot be read 
accurately at very low vacuum settings (below 2 in. Hg), reproducible settings may 
still be obtained by means of the 20-turn dial regulator knob. 

Vacuum–

When the 

Vacuum

 switch is in the 

vac

 position, the vacuum output port is 

connected to the regulated vacuum line. When the switch is in the 

atm

 position, the 

output port is vented to the atmosphere.

Power–

Switching the 

Power

 on allows the solenoid of the 

Eject Pressure

 line to be 

activated. An amber light above the switch indicates when power is on.

Timing–

Electronic timing of the 

Eject

 pressure solenoid is effected by the control 

section on the right hand side of the instrument front panel. Operation of the 

Eject

 

pressure solenoid can be initiated by means of any of three different methods: 

• 

by manually pushing the 

Start

 button.

• 

by applying a +5V level at the EXT Input.

• 

by depressing the optional 

Remote

 footswitch. (The 

Remote

 connector is 

used for accessing the footswitch only). 

The length of the pulse is determined by setting the 

Duration

 switch. In the gated 

mode the pressure solenoid opens and remains open as long as any of the three 
commands is maintained. In the timed mode, an electronic timer controls the time 
duration that the pressure solenoid stays open and the three commands serve only 
to start the timer. Long pulses in the timed mode may be aborted by pressing the 

Stop

 button. A green lamp next to the 

Eject

 pressure gauge illuminates for as long 

as the pressure solenoid is open (energized). 

Period and Range–

The duration of the solenoid open time, in the timed mode, is 

determined by the 10-turn 

Period

 dial and the setting of the 

Range

 switch. In the 

100ms range, the solenoid times may be set from 1–101ms (every turn of the dial 
is 10ms) and in the 10s range pulses may be set from 100ms to 10.1s (every turn of 
the dial is 1.0s). The minimum time interval is limited by the speed of the solenoid, 
which varies from approximately 10ms at 0 psi to 3ms at 100 psi. 

Monitor–

The 

Monitor

 output connector produces a logic-level output (+5 V) 

corresponding to the time interval during which the 

Eject

 pressure solenoid is 

energized. At all other times the monitor output is low (0V).

Rear Panel

A polarized, 3-conductor, connector is used for line (mains) power input to the 
instrument. A removable cordset, terminated with a grounded 3-prong connector, 
is standard. An alternate cordset may be supplied when local circumstances dictate 
different mains voltages and connections. 

A fuseholder contains a protective fuse in series with the high side (brown or black 
wire) of the mains. The holder accepts
