Turn the command signal ON for more than 0.3 second. (Refer to the description of COMP STOP below). For C30HVRT, when the compressor pump starts operation, the cryocooler starts at the same time.
Page 39
With Alternate operating mode, turning this signal ON starts operation of the compressor pump and OFF stops all the cryocoolers and the compressor. With C30HVRT, when the compressor pump starts operation, the cryocooler starts operation at the same time. CAUTION Do not switch between ON and OFF frequently.
Therefore the compressor will neither recognize nor output any remote signal with the equipment for a maximum of 5 seconds. For reference, the signal delay when powered on in Alternate operating mode is shown in Fig. 2-8. 2-10 ULVAC CRYOGENICS INCORPORATED...
Alternate operating mode when the time period from a stop to a reboot is short, and Figure 2-10 shows the timing chart of C30HVRT when a short power interruption has occurred in Momentary operating mode.
For C30HVRT, cryocooler operation is synchronized with the compressor operation as shown in Figure 2-10. In “Alternate operating mode”, the compressor restarts as soon as the input power is recovered because there is always the command from the equipment side.
