PK=aÉëÅêáéíáçå 3.2. Principle of operation When starting the Plasma Cleaner via the Plasma Cleaner menue the chamber to which the Plas- ma Cleaner is attached is vented above at least 3mbar. Then the corresponding chamer is pumped again. When the pressure approaches the preset ignition pressure of the plasma clean- er, a valve (connected to air) in the plasma cleaner (PRS) is opened, stabilizing the pressure close to the PRS in the chamber to the preset ignition pressure.
PK=aÉëÅêáéíáçå 3.3. Technical data The Plasma Cleaner Add On consists of two major components: • Plasma Radical Source (PRS) • Controller These components are connected by a cable bundle.
