    Theory of Operation How the Electronics Work How the Electronics Work The vacuum degasser has two different normal operation modes and a continuous mode. In operation mode 1 the vacuum degasser works around a defined set point (115 Torr). Due to environmental conditions it is possible that the vacuum degasser cannot reach the pre-defined set point.
  • Page 75 Theory of Operation How the Electronics Work The pressure sensor is connected to the vacuum chamber and checks for the correct vacuum in the system. The amplifier and comparator circuit determines the working range of the vacuum that has to be built up. When the vacuum degasser is turned on and the vacuum in the chamber is not within working range (above error limit of 190 Torr), the amplifier and comparator circuit sends a signal to the vacuum pump driver and the timers of the vacuum pump (timer 1) and the solenoid...
