Table 1 Checklist of items Quantity Description Check 1 T-Station 85 ❏ 1 CD instruction manual P450-00-000 ❏ 1 Ultragrade 15 oil 1 litre (supplied with E2M1.5 only) ❏ 1 Inlet seal (either trapped O-ring, co-seal or copper compression gasket suitable for the inlet flange type) ❏ Page 11 D395-94-880A - Installation Locate the T-Station 85 WARNING: Heavy objects can cause muscle strain or back injury. The mass of the T-Station 85 will differ depending on the model supplied. WARNING: The turbo pump used on the T-Station 85 stores a large amount of kinetic energy when it is running at full speed. In the unlikely event of a malfunction (rotor seizure), the stored energy could cause a slight movement of the T-Station 85 platform. If the T-Station 85 is operating on a bench top, taking the following steps is advised: (a) Position the T-Station 85 at least 10-15 cm away from the edge of the bench top and adjacent devices and/or (b) Tether or fix the T-Station 85 to the bench top, see Bench top fixing on page 12. CAUTION: When locating the T-Station 85, care should be taken not to restrict the ventilation grid located under the base of the system. Failing to observe this may result in overheating of the turbomolecular pump. Bench top fixing There are two M8 fixing points located at the rear of the T-Station 85 base (Figure 1 on page 10, item 7). Using suitable brackets or straps (not supplied), securing the T-Station 85 to the bench top is recommended to prevent excessive movement in the unlikely event of a pump failure. Note: Straps or brackets cannot be provided as the best type fixing for the customer bench top location cannot be determined. Sourcing or fabricating these fixings locally is recommended. Fill the pump with oil Procedure for filling the pump with the recommended oil. If the T-Station 85 uses an E2M1.5 rotary vane pump, it must be filled with the correct quantity of oil (supplied) before operating the equipment. For further information refer to the EM Rotary Vane Pump manual A371-32-880. Fill the pump with oil as follows: 1. Remove the oil filler plug. 2. Pour oil into the pump until the oil level just reaches the MAX mark on the bezel at the top of the sight glass. If the oil level goes above the MAX mark, remove the drain plug and drain the excess oil from the pump. 3. After a few minutes, recheck the oil level. If the oil level is now below the MAX mark, pour more oil into the pump. 4. Refit the oil filler plug. Tighten the plug firmly by hand. Do not over tighten. Page 12 D395-94-880A - Installation Connect to the vacuum system WARNING: Connect the turbo pump inlet to the vacuum system before applying power to the TStation 85. This will ensure that the pump cannot operate accidentally causing injury. WARNING: If installing the vacuum system directly onto the T-Station 85, the weight of the system must be no more than 10 kg and the centre of gravity must be positioned laterally within the bounds of the base plate. If this is not the case, the vacuum system must be supported to ensure that the T-Station 85 does not topple. 1. The turbo pump can be securely fixed to the vacuum system via the inlet flange. Make sure that the pump inlet and all components fitted to the pump inlet are clean and dust-free. If the pump inlet is not kept clean, the pump down time may be increased. 2. If the pump has a CF flange, use the copper compression gasket supplied with the pump and use a full complement of bolts to connect the inlet flange of the pump to the vacuum system. 3. If the pump has an ISO flange, use a minimum of four claw clamps (each torqued to 10 Nm) to connect the inlet flange of the pump to the vacuum system. Alternatively, use a rotatable collar and the combined inlet screen and trapped O-ring supplied with the pump to connect the inlet flange of the pump to the vacuum system; use a full complement of bolts with the rotatable collar. 4. If the pump has an NW flange, use the centring ring supplied with the pump and a metal NW clamp to connect the inlet flange of the pump to the vacuum system. 5. All inlet flange bolts must be re-tightened once the system is under vacuum. Ensure that no torques or other forces are transmitted to the pump from the vacuum system or the associated pipelines. Connect to the exhaust extraction system WARNING: Vent dangerous gases and gas mixtures safely. Do not expose people to these gases. If pumping hazardous gases or vapours, observe the safety recommendations of the supplier of the gas/vapour. Note: This section applies to E2M1.5 versions only. The exhaust system must be configured so that the maximum pressure at the pump outlet does not exceed 0.5 bar gauge (1.5 bar absolute, 1.5 x 105 Pa) at full pump throughput. 1. Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked. 2. If using an exhaust isolation valve, make sure the pump cannot be operated with the valve closed. Page 13 D395-94-880A - Installation Connect the electrical supply WARNING: Ensure that the electrical installation of the pump conforms with all local and national safety requirements. It must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply with a suitable earth point. CAUTION: Always make the electrical connections to the T-Station 85 after the equipment has been installed on the vacuum system. Always disconnect the electrical supply from the T-Station 85 before removing the equipment from the vacuum system. Check that the electrical supply is suitable for this equipment. Refer to Table 22 on page 42 for the electrical requirements for this equipment. Make the electrical connection to the T-Station 85 using a cable fitted with an IEC60320 connector. A range of suitable cables is available from the supplier. Configure the T-Station 85 As supplied from the factory, the T-Station 85 will control the system as follows: System start is selected: • The TAV vent valve will close. • The backing pump will turn on. • The turbomolecular pump will start accelerating up to full rotational speed. System off is selected: • The backing pump will turn off. • The turbomolecular pump drive will turn off and the pump will start to decelerate. • The TAV vent valve will open fully from 50% of full rotational speed. Turbo pump delay The T-Station 85 can be configured to delay the turbo pump after the backing pump has started. Refer to Turbo setpoint screen on page 22. The delay is helpful to prevent the turbomolecular pump from accelerating under high pressure for a prolonged period if the volume being pumped is greater than 2 litres. This option is especially useful if the T-Station 85 uses an XDD1 diaphragm pump. Figure 2 on page 15 shows the recommended delay period for a turbo / XDD1 pump combination. * This operation refers to systems which have been fitted with an Edwards TAV vent valve (optional accessory). For more vent options refer to Vent valve screen on page 20. Page 14 D395-94-880A - Installation Figure 2 Turbomolecular pump start delay with XDD1 diaphragm pump Connect a vacuum gauge A single compatible active gauge can be fitted to the T-Station 85. Fit the gauge using an Edwards active gauge cable into the gauge connector located on the side of the controller housing (refer to Figure 1 on page 10, item 6). For active gauge control and set up refer to Gauge screen on page 19. The following Edwards active gauges are suitable for use with the T-Station 85: • • • • APG100 Active Pirani vacuum gauge APGX-H Active Linear Convection gauge AIM-X Active Inverted Magnetron gauge ASG Active Strain gauge Commission the installation After installing the T-Station 85, the system must be tested. Use the following procedure to test the system: 1. Make sure that all the electrical connections are secure. 2. Switch on the electrical supply and the exhaust extraction system (if available). 3. To operate the system press the START/STOP key. Check that the equipment operates as described in . 4. Check that the turbo pump reaches normal speed.

Use of the gas ballast will prevent the condensation of vapours in the pump; the condensates would contaminate the oil. Use the gas ballast control (Figure 1 on page 10, item 2) closed: • to achieve ultimate vacuum • to pump dry gases. Turn the gas ballast control six turns anti-clockwise to open it fully. Use the gas ballast control open: • to pump high concentrations of condensable vapour • to pump high concentrations of condensable vapour When operating the pump with the gas ballast control open, there will be an increased rate of oil loss from the pump. Electrical supply failure WARNING: Risk of injury or death. If the power supply fails when the pump is running, the impeller could continue to spin for approximately 10 minutes. The control circuit may not give any indication that the impeller is still running. If the electrical supply to the T-Station 85 fails when the turbo pump is rotating, the motor of the turbo pump is used as a generator. The regenerated power is used to maintain the control system and the display. The regenerated power is not used to maintain the T-Station 85 control system or the display. When power to the control system is lost, no indication will be given about pump rotational speed, yet the impeller may still be turning. The system will not restart when the power is reinstated.

If pumping hazardous gases or vapours, observe the safety recommendations of the supplier of the gas/vapour. WARNING: Do not use the pump to pump pyrophoric or explosive gas mixtures as it is not suitable for this purpose. The pump and its connections are not designed to contain an explosion. WARNING: Do not expose any part of the human body to the vacuum as this could result in injury to or death of people. CAUTION: Do not use the pump to pump particulates or condensable media. Deposition may occur within the pump which will degrade pump performance and reduce the pump life. Page 38 D395-94-880A - Technical Reference CAUTION: Do not use the pump to pump gases containing more than 20% oxygen. This will cause the lubricant to polymerise and the pump to fail prematurely. Note: Concentrations of gases may be modified by the compression of the pump. The turbo pump is designed to pump the following residual gases normally used in high vacuum systems: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Air Carbon monoxide Neon Ethane Methane Nitrogen Krypton Argon Propane Carbon dioxide Helium Hydrogen Butane The pump can be used to pump oxygen and water vapour, subject to the following conditions: • Oxygen - When the pump is purged by an inert gas, oxygen can be pumped at concentrations above 20% by volume. Refer to the nEXT85 instruction manual (B8G0-00-880) for purge gas specification. However, if the pump is not purged, the oxygen concentration must be less than 20% by volume. • Water vapour - Ensure that vapour does not condense inside the pump. To pump a gas not in the list above, contact the supplier for advice. Failure to contact the supplier may invalidate the warranty on the pump. The pump is not suitable for pumping aggressive or corrosive gases. Venting gas specification and vent control data Although the pump may be vented to atmosphere, high relative humidity of the air may greatly increase the subsequent pump down time. To reduce pump down times the pump should be vented with dry, clean gases. Refer to the nEXT85 turbo pump manual (B8G0-00-880) for the vent valve connection. Refer to Vent valve screen on page 20 for configuring the venting options.
