Operating Instructions
Description

1 Description
Design and function
The electronic frequency converters TURBOTRONIK NT
13 SP are used to drive the turbomolecular pump TUR-
BOVAC 50.
The electronic frequency converter converts the single
phase mains voltage into a three-phase AC voltage for
driving the asynchronous motor of the TURBOVAC.
The frequency converter is operated according to a fixed
cycle: the motor is driven for approximately 1 s and in the
following period of 0.1 s all monitoring measurements
are performed.
The operational statuses „Mains voltage applied -
POWER“, „Acceleration - ACCEL“, „Normal - NORMAL“
and „Failure - FAIL“ are indicated by LEDs.

Fig. 1 TURBOTRONIK NT 13 The NT 13 SP provides two pressure-dependent swit-

ching points via relay outputs.
Pressure-trigger 1 closes when the pressure in the
Figures
TURBOVAC is lower than approx. 4·10-3 mbar.

the pressure exceeds approx. 5·10-1 mbar. Thus, the
TURBOVAC and backing pump may be shut down, e. g.
in case of implosions.
Warning
Indicates procedures that must be strictly observed to prevent hazards The outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against
to persons.
no load conditions.

Caution
Indicates procedures that must be strictly observed to prevent damage
to, or destruction of the appliance.
Notes
All work within the instrument described in these Operating Instructions
may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
FMS version
FMS stands for "five minute switch". This version has a
timer that opens the pressure trigger 2 after about 5
minutes if the nominal rotation speed of the TURBOVAC
is not reached in this period.
If the TURBOVAC and backing pump are switched off
using this relay output, then the pump system is protec-
ted from excessive pressure, for example in the case of
a large leak, an open high vacuum connection or a mis-
sing picture tube to be evacuated.

Before opening the instrument disconnect it

from the mains! When applying external
voltages over 42 V to the connecting termi-
nals of the instrument observe the local
safety regulations!

We reserve the right to alter the design or any data given in these
Operating Instructions.
The illustrations are not binding.

2 Connection and Operation

The unit may only be connected by a qualified electrici-
an and in accordance with the local regulations.
Warning
Inside the TURBOTRONIK there are hazar-
dous voltages. Open the TURBOTRONIK
only after having it disconnected from the
mains.
Selecting the mains voltage range
The TURBOTRONIK frequency converter is supplied
ready for operation in connection with a mains voltage
range of 180 to 260 V, 50/60 Hz. It may be converted to
run on a mains voltage range of 90 to 140 V, 50/60 Hz.
Caution
The TURBOTRONIK is damaged when
connected to the mains with an incorrect
mains voltage range setting.
Unscrew the 2 screws (3/1) on the left and right of the
unit and carefully swing out the front panel to the left to
remove it. Operate switch (3/3).
When changing the mains voltage setting it is not requi-
red to exchange any fuses.
Remount the front panel.
Electrical connection
Connections to the TURBOTRONIK NT 13 are carried
out via the connector strip on the rear. For the pin assign-
ments refer to Fig. 4.
Warning
Various contacts along the connector may
carry mains voltage, therefore only touch
the connector having disconnected the
TURBOTRONIK from the mains.
Connect the line supplied to the connector strip. A dra-
wing giving details on how to correctly install this cable is
included.
Warning
High leakage current! If the connection line
between TURBOVAC and TURBOTRONIK
is longer than 10 m connect both units addi-
tionally via protection earth.
For connection of the TURBOVAC use only a double-
screened cable with sufficient isolation rating.
Emergency shutoff
Install a suitable emergency shutoff in the power supply
line.

Connection to the relay contacts Connections to the measurement sockets

Warning
The relay contacts are separated from the
mains voltage by base insulation. In case of
a failure they may carry hazardous volta-
ges.
That’s why the control lines which are
connected to these contacts shall be sub-
jected to special precautionary measures.
In particular, they shall not be interconnec-
ted with low-voltage circuits which may be
exposed to contact unless additional pro-
tective measures are taken.
Mains voltage or function electrical low-voltage may be
applied to relay contacts 8 and 10 whereas only function
electrical low-voltage may be applied to relay contacts 4
and 6. Observe the local safety regulations. A connection
of the relay contacts with isolated current circuits is pro-
hibited.
For functioning of the relays refer to section „Operation“.
The measurement sockets (in the front panel) carry
mains voltage. The voltage across the measurement
sockets is proportional to the intermediate circuit current
within the TURBOTRONIK (1 mV ; 1 mA). Under cer-
tain operating conditions this current is directly equiva-
lent to a certain intake pressure; see Fig. 5.
The way in which current and pressure are related
depends on the particular operating conditions in each
case. For more details contact us.
Warning
The measurement voltage is not mains-iso-
lated. Connect a measuring instrument so
that it is reliably excluded of coming into
contact with the mains.
Installing the TURBOTRONIK
The TURBOTRONIK is intended for installation into a
19“ rack.
Four holes on the front panel are provided for this pur-
pose.
Sufficient ventilation must be ensured and the ambient
temperature must not exceed 40°C during operation.

Pressure relay trigger 1 Maintenance

The pressure relay closes (pins 8 and 10) when the pres-
sure in the TURBOVAC is lower than approx 4·10-3 mbar.
Pressure relay trigger 1
The pressure relay trigger 2 (pin 4 and 6) opens once the
TURBOVAC has reached the status NORMAL and when
afterwards the pressure rises for at least 0.65 second
over 5·10-1 mbar. It opens also when the TURBOVAC
becomes too hot.
For the NT13 SP-FMS, the pressure relay trigger 2 (pin
4 and 6) also opens if the nominal rotation speed of the
TURBOVAC is not reached within 5 minutes.
The TURBOTRONIK requires no maintenance. It may
only be repaired by Leybold service personnel.
Caution
Before changing fuses, the TURBOTRO-
NIK must be disconnected from the power
mains. During all work on the turbomolecu-
lar pump, the TURBOTRONIK must be
secured against being switched on.
Clean the TURBOTRONIK with a dry dust-free cloth.

3 Troubleshooting
Symptoms
1. POWER LED is not on.
2. ACCEL LED is on, NOR-
MAL LED is not on; i.e. swit-
ching to NORMAL does not
occur after a certain run-up
period.
3. FAIL LED is on and the
speed of the TURBOVAC is
dropping off.
4. FAIL LED is on and TUR-
BOVAC does not run up.
5. Pump is running normally,
NORMAL LED is on but the
attained ultimate pressure is
insufficient.
GA05219_0502 - 01/2004
Probable Cause
TURBOTRONIK not connected to the mains.
Fuse has blown.
Leak in the vacuum system so that the nominal
speed is not reached.
The TURBOVAC had reached the status NOR-
MAL and the pressure had increased afterwards
for at least 0.65 sec to over 5·10-1 mbar.
The temperature within the motor coils has
exceeded the permissible limit temperature, e. g.
due to high ambient temperatures or insufficient
cooling.
Plug of the cable leading to the TURBOVAC or
the cable itself is malfunctioning or not connec-
ted correctly.
Motor coil of the TURBOVAC is overheated.
Leak in the vacuum system.
Pump is turning in the wrong direction.
Troubleshooting
Recommended Corrective Actions
Connect to the mains.
Exchange the fuse. To do so, remove the front and rear
panel of the TURBOTRONIK.
For removal of the front panel unscrew screws (3/1) and
remove the front panel. Depress catches (3/2) somewhat,
pull out the inner section of plug (3/4) some millimetres.
Disconnect the flat cable from the plug.
Pull the pcbs. out of the housing. Unscrew the pcbs so
that they may be folded apart. Exchange the fuses.
Fold the pcbs. back together again, screw them tight and
install them. Install front and rear panels again.
Seal off the vacuum system.
If poss. eliminate the leak.
Reset the failure via switching off the power; then restart.
Improve the cooling arrangement.
Reset the failure via switching off the power; then restart.
Check, and if required exchange the cable and the plug.
Reset the failure via switching off the power; then restart.
Let the pump cool down.
Reset the failure via switching off the power; then restart.
Detect and remove the leak.
Check the wiring of three phases for the motor and if
found incorrect interchange 2 phases.
