2. INTRODUCTION 2.1. General description SIP POWER is the power supply that controls the ion pump (IP) of NEXTorr family. NEXTorr pumps combine in a very compact and unique design Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) and ion pump technologies. SIP POWER can be supplied with alphanumeric display or without display.

Safety pin of safe cable (2 mm plug) must be inserted into the Safety connector. An enable signal called INTERLOCK must be provided to SIP POWER via IN/OUT interface connector with a closed contact between pins 6-9 and 1-14 (see plot at Sec. 8.1).
Some ticks are heard during the starting of the power supply belonging to the automatic initialization settings. SIP POWER switches on very rapidly (3-5 seconds) and is immediately ready to locally operate. Remote communication (Ethernet plus USB module) is available after 30 seconds from the switch on of the SIP POWER.
The supply is equipped with other two comparators-switches of the pump current/pressure. These other two switches, SW2 and SW3, can be used to directly connect the SIP POWER with other electronic equipment. Their outputs are led to the IN/OUT INTERFACE output connector. As for SW1, also for SW2 and SW3 the status is shown on the display first line with the symbol of open/close electric switch (more details in the display paragraph).
The pin layout of the output connector is described in the Sec.8.1. 4.4. Operating IP in case of main line interruption In case of interruption of line voltage, the SIP POWER restarts in the conditions indicated in section 3.1. For security reasons it is not possible to activate automatic restarts.
On the first row the following will be shown alternatively: three pieces of information on the working situation, alarm or alarms indications. In order to state to SIP POWER that the indication has been understood and then hide it, press the right key for 5 seconds.

SIP POWER electronic circuit is designed so that this phenomenon is automatically stopped. If arcing is particularly strong or long SIP POWER switches off the voltage supply to the pump for one or two seconds and raises an event. If arcing happens at least three times in less than 45 seconds the supply to the pump is stopped completely.
25% the rated input voltage. The voltage supplied to the pump is interrupted and restarts automatically when the alarm is cleared. This notification can be useful with the battery pack. It is recommended to switch SIP POWER off immediately when this message is shown.
