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. Under this
condition the operation mode 2 becomes active and the vacuum pump is
activated in defined time intervals (vacuum level 115 to 190 Torr). In case of a
malfunction of the vacuum degasser (vacuum level above 190 Torr) the
instrument is turned into the error mode.

The main function of the vacuum degasser control assembly is to control the
vacuum pump and to check the vacuum in the vacuum container.
The power section of the control assembly comprises a switching power supply
that generates + 24 V from line voltage. The + 24 V is used to drive the vacuum
pump and the solenoid valve. The electronic control circuit uses + 12 V which
is generated from the + 24 V.
The pressure sensor is connected to the vacuum chamber and checks for the
correct vacuum in the system.
