Pump Operations
Mounting of the IDP-10 Scroll Vacuum Pump
1
Mount the pump in its intended location and make the appropriate vacuum
connections.
2
Ensure the slide switch is in the 0 position. If using the remote I/O connector,
plug in the cable and tighten the connector screw-lock.
When using the remote control, if the remote command is for the pump to be ON,
NOTE
the slide switch will no longer be able to be used to turn the pump OFF. However,
for remote control to work properly, leave the slide switch in the OFF position.
To maintain compliance with EMI regulations, a shielded cable must be used and
NOTE
the supplied snap-on ferrite bead installed onto the cable as close as possible to the
IDP-10. A cable with both foil and braid shielding is recommended and must be
attached per the connector manufacturer's instructions to backshells that are either
metal or metalized.
3
Apply AC power by attaching an IEC320 C13 cord set to the pump. The LED
hour meter lights. If the pump is new the display shows 0.
4
Slide the switch to the I position or apply the remote ON signal. The pump
starts after few seconds and the fan comes on.
If the pump has the optional inlet valve, it opens in approximately 30 seconds
and the IDP-10 begins pumping. If the valve is not present, pumping begins
immediately.
Because of the inverter drive, the pump comes up to speed over several
seconds.
The hour meter counts and displays the number of hours the pump has been
running with a resolution of one hour. This value is stored in non-volatile memory
and can only be reset at the factory or authorized service center.
In order to reach maximum vacuum, the pump must be left running for at least 24
NOTE
hours with the inlet sealed.
