TIC Turbo & Inst Cont 200W + Cal Cert

TIC Gauge and Pump Series

A compact turbo controller with a large clear graphical display, an intuitive user interface and serial communications providing full remote control and data logging functions via a new Windows™ based PC program. The controller automatically recognises and supports one 24 V turbomolecular pump from the EXT/nEXT range. Cooling and vent valve support is provided directly from the controller. Mains backing pumps (up to nXDS20i/RV12) may be controlled via an optional relay box. Two different power variants are available, 100W or 200W which determines the ramp speed of the turbo pump. In addition 200W models have the ability to power a 24V d.c. backing pump such as our XDD1 or nXDS through a 15-way ‘D’ socket. Turbo and instrument models add the ability to control up to 3 of our range of Active gauges.

Features and Benefits

• TIC automatically recognises and controls one turbomolecular pump from the nEXT range. nEXT turbomolecular pumps have full serial communication with TIC and may be both configured and report status via TIC.
• Both mains and 24V backing pumps may be controlled by TIC. For larger vacuum systems the TIC may control mains backing pumps from the nXDS and nXRi ranges.
• The optional external relay box enables a wider range of backing pumps (such as our RV range) to be controlled and also provides interfaces for a turbo flange heater band, a backing line isolation valve and a logic bypass.
• TIC systems can be simply and quickly configured using the range of standard cables on offer, there is, therefore, no need for the customer to prepare loom assemblies or relay boxes and special interfaces.
• Edwards range of active gauges are compatible with these controllers; APG100, APG200, APGX-H, WRG, AIM, AIGX, and ASG2
