General description The Edwards IS16K Vacuum Interlock Switch is designed for applications where the electrical circuits within the vacuum chamber must be de-energised when the vacuum system is let up to atmosphere. Typical applications would be the interlocking of H.T. and R.F. power supplies on vacuum coating systems. The interlocking switch consists of a positive break microswitch operated by a snap action diaphram to ensure rapid separation of the microswitch contacts.
Remove all packing materials and protective covers and check the IS16K for damage. If the IS16K is damaged, notify your supplier and the carrier in writing within three days; state the Item Number of the IS16K together with your order number and your supplier's invoice number. Retain all packing materials for inspection. Do not use the IS16K.
2. Connect an electrical continuity meter between the pin marked 'com' and the pin marked 'Lo'. Refer to Figure 1 for pin connections. 3. With the IS16K at atmosphere verify that the meter reads open circuit. 4. Reduce the pressure to below 500 mbar (as measured on a vacuum gauge) and check that the meter reads short circuit.
