The NEG POWER - NEG Pumps Controller power supply serves for operating the NEG (Non Evaporable Getters) pumps. It is designed to be used indoor in laboratory conditions. WARNING After transportation, the device has to be left idle without mains voltage for at least 3 hours at the laboratory temperature.
5.2. RS232 / RS485 Interface .................... 23 Electrical Specifications ..................... 24 Summary Table of the NEG Pumps controlled by the NEG POWER ......25 PRODUCT CONFIGURATIONS AND ACCESSORIES ..........26 8.1. NEG POWER configurations and accessories: ............26 ...
There are two versions: NEG POWER for up to 4 controlled pumps, NEG POWER SMALL supporting up to 2 pumps only. NEG POWER can control up to 4 different getter pumps at the same time, with an adjustable DC voltage output up to 110 V, current up to 10A, power up to 700W.
Low power modules of 150 W can be also installed in the NEG POWER to work in the low range of power with the smallest SAES NEG pumps requiring low values of power / voltage / current with a precision around ±...

Insert the instrument in the appropriate space (19” rack 3U according to DIN 41494 standard). Fix the NEG POWER front panel on the rack columns with four M6 screws. NEG POWER SMALL is half 19” rack large. It is prepared with lateral holes to fix it on rack with two brackets.
3.3. Cleaning ATTENTION: before starting any cleaning turn the units off and remove all mains. The units should be cleaned with a damp cloth when necessary. The use of solvents an aggressive or scouring cleaning agent is not permitted. Avoid spraying or spilling any type of liquid directly onto the unit. Before putting the units into operation mode to check them that are thoroughly dry.
4. MODE OF OPERATION NEG POWER has a touch screen display to control all the pumps together and in a very friendly way; it is also possible to control the NEG POWER by the SAES remote control software. The most popular SAES NEG pumps are preset in the software (like the GP SORB AC, the CapaciTorr, CapaciTorr HV and NEXTorr families).
4.3. The General Setup button A Setup button is present in the General menu. It allows to access menus of instrument settings: Date and time settings, Network settings, Modbus Server Settings, Output Channel Settings, Brightness and Standby time. SAVE button saves the changes. BACK button leaves the menu. REBOOT button restarts the firmware.

Log files are stored in RAM so they are lost after power off cycle. NEG POWER is able to detect the Output Insulation Losses making a check between positive/negative power wire and ground wire or between thermocouple wires and ground wire.

System settings: choose the screen brightness and standby delay (from 0 = never to 4 hours of inactivity). M.HIST.0101.23 R2 Page 14 of 36 January, 26 2021...
(for example CapaciTorr D1000 in the example below). The system shows automatically the list of SAES pumps that can be controlled with that output. In the left example picture below a list of pumps for standard 700 W module is shown, whereas the right picture shows the list that will appear when the low power module (150 W module) is installed.

Selecting the pump model, the recommended settings are preloaded (instructions to change these values are reported at point 4). please note that these settings are for pumps without jackets. CABLE is an automatic recognition of the cable length (if the cable supports the feature). It can not be changed by the user.
Let’s assume that the working point of the NEG POWER is V = 10V I = 5A so P = 50W and T = 400°C NEG POWER stays in this working point because the output has reached Vmax and cannot exceed it.
4.6. The SAVE and CANCEL buttons For each channel there are two independent presets: one for activation and one for conditioning. Presets can be saved to permanent memory or changes can be cancelled restoring previous settings. SAVE CANCEL 4.7. The START/STOP buttons START / STOP buttons are the first indicator of the status of the output.
All parameters are adjustable in the setup menu, but every change of selected pump model or of operating mode (Activation/Conditioning) restore the default settings. When you turn off and turn on NEG POWER, the last settings and used parameters are presented and you can use again pressing start button without any other change. This happens because NEG POWER stores permanently the current parameters when you press start button.
Some applications require special getter pumps (HV) that work when the getter material is hot. NEG POWER can be used to keep these pumps hot giving them the necessary power continuously. To do this, t_hold = is used (to set t_hold = reduce t_hold down to 100 and press down again).
4.11. Alarms If there are problems during the control of NEG pumps, the output status is ALARM and the output start / stop button is disabled. The status is ALARM until the problem is solved. When an alarm occurs, a red bar appears on the screen with detailed information of the problem. Touch the red bar to acknowledge the alarm.
4.13. Information page Touching SAES logo an information page appears. The software versions, serial numbers and general system information are here listed. Please, note that Service page is a sub menu for service use only. M.HIST.0101.23 R2...
5. THE OUTPUT CONNECTOR FUNCTION The output connectors can be used for a possible connection of a device designed for monitoring or controlling the supply activity. IN/OUT INTERFACE is intended for connection to protective hardware systems; LAN connector can be used for communication purposes via ETHERNET interface in MODBUS TCP protocol.
