TIC Turbo and Instrument Controller

A compact Turbo and Instrument controller with a large clear graphical display, an intuitive user interface and serial communications providing full remote control and data logging functions via a new Windows™ based PC program.

The controller automatically recognizes and supports up to three gauges from the Edwards range (excluding IGC and Barocels), and one 24V turbomolecular pump from the EXT range. Cooling and vent valve support is provided directly from the controller. Backing pump control is provided either for a compact 24V diaphragm pump (on 200W versions only), or where greater pumping speeds are required, mains backing pumps (up to E2M28) may be controlled via an optional relay box. The relay box also controls a mains heater band and backing line isolation valve and may include three 250V ac 3A changeover relays, which are activated by the gauge open collector set point outputs.
