The PDT indicates who is in control. LEDs are also provided on the rear panel, front panel or PDT, which illuminate to indicate 'in control'.
  • Page 13 Active utility control Active Utility Control (AUC) is available on the iGX system. This function reduces the power of the iGX system while on stand-by. The power reduction is achieved by reducing the rotational speed of the iGX pump. This function also reduces the nitrogen purge of M variant systems while in stand-by mode.

  • Page 21  loads anticipated. Lubrication The iGX system is given a charge of oil before it leaves the factory. There is no requirement to check and adjust the oil level. Connect the iGX system to the vacuum/exhaust system and interstage connection (if fitted)
  • Page 22 Refer to Figure 2, items 16, 18 and 27. Use the following procedure to connect the inlet and exhaust of the iGX system to the vacuum inlet and exhaust pipeline: 1. Remove the temporary cover or blanking plate from the inlet of the iGX system. Retain the nuts, bolts, washers and blanking plate for future use.
  • Page 23 Note: If further information on leak testing is needed, look it up on the Edwards website at www.edwardsvacuum.com, or contact the supplier or Edwards for advice. Refer to Figure 2, item 28.
  • Page 24 2, item 2. Use the following procedure to connect the electrical supply to the iGX system. When making the electrical supply cable, ensure that the earth (ground) conductor is longer than the phase conductors. This will ensure that if the cable is accidentally dragged and the strain relief bush on the electrical supply connector mating-half fails, the earth (ground) conductor will be the last conductor to be pulled from the connector.
  • Page 25 Tighten the connection using a flat blade screwdriver.  6. Refit the cover to the connector block, then tighten the strain relief bush. 7. Connect the mating half to the electrical supply connector of the iGX system (Figure 2, item 2).

  • Page 29 A546–00–880 Issue E 7. If the iGX system is an L or M variant, continue at step 8. For N variants, the nitrogen purge flow should be checked as follows; i. Open the gas module access panel by removing the securing screw. Refer to...
  • Page 30 If the sensors or microprocessors fail, the total flow rate of nitrogen displayed or output by the iGX system may be incorrect. If the total flow rate of nitrogen to the dry pump for safety reasons needs to be known, fit suitable measurement equipment in the nitrogen supply pipeline.
