TIC Turbo Controller

A compact turbo 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 one 24 V turbomolecular pump from the EXT/nEXT range.

Features and benefits

  • TIC automatically recognizes and controls one 24 V turbomolecular pump from either the nEXT, DX or EXDC ranges.
  • nEXT and DX turbos have full serial communication with TIC and may be both configured and report via TIC.
  • The optional external relay box enables mains backing pumps to be controlled and also provides interfaces for a turbo heater band, a backing line isolation valve and a logic bypass.
  • In most instances, TIC systems may be simply and quickly configured using the range of standard cables on offer, there is therefore no need for the customer to prepare loom assemblies or relay boxes and special interfaces.
