The TPS-mini is an integrated system with a turbo-molecular pump
for high and ultra-high vacuum applications associated with its
relevant controller and its primary pump. The system can pump any
type of gas or gas compound. It is not suitable for pumping liquids or
solid particles. The pumping action is obtained through a high speed
turbine driven by a high-performance 3-phase electric motor. The
TPS-mini is free of contaminating agents and, therefore, is suitable
for applications requiring a "clean" vacuum.
The TPS-mini is equipped with auxiliary connectors to control the
vent valve, to be controlled from a remote site by means of an host
computer connected through a serial line.
The following paragraphs contain all the information necessary to
guarantee the safety of the operator when using the equipment.
Detailed information is supplied in the appendix "Technical
