Digitel™ ion pump controllers
Digitel™ ion pump controllers
The DIGITEL family of Ion Pump controllers offers the right balance of performance, power and protection.
Digitel™ Spce | Small Pump Controller
The SPCe is a versatile way to fully operate ion pumps 0.2 – 75 l/s. An LCD pressure/current/voltage display along with standard serial communications makes the SPCe able to accommodate the needs of basic and advanced users.
Nano amp resolution provides gauging capabilities using the appropriate ion pump set-up.
Digitel™ LPC e | Large Pump Controller
Ion pumps 100 l/s and larger require higher currents for starting and higher pressure operation. The LPCe supplies higher currents to a dedicated single ion pump (or up to four ion pumps in parallel) and has an easy-to-read touchscreen LCD display that simultaneously displays pressure, current, and voltage.
Standard serial communications and eight set-points allow for easy system integration. The LPCe fits into any rack at just 3U high and 1⁄2 rack wide.
Digitel™ MPC e | Multiple Pump Controller
Ion Pump Control
Incorporating the same features as the LPCe, the MPCe allows for high current control of two ion pumps independently or up to four in parallel. At 3U high and a full rack in width, the MPCe is ideal for operating a wide variety of ion pump configurations on any system.
TSP/NEG Control
A TSP or NEG can be fully operated from the LCD touchscreen of the MPCe. They can be fired manually or automatically
based on the pressure of either ion pump the MPCe is monitoring. Timed modes also let the user have full control over
exact parameters of operation. A single remote controller can operate up to eight TSP filaments or two NEG pumps.
Features
Ease of Use
Each DIGITEL™ has a highly visible display. The SPCe has an easy-toread LCD that displays pressure, current and voltage. The LPCe and MPCe are each fully controlled with an intuitive touch panel LCD.
Digital resolution down to 1nA is possible depending on pump size and current requirements.
Operator Safety
The integrated SAFECONN high voltage interlock system eliminates electrical shocks and false positive pressure readings. The controller automatoically shuts off high voltage whend the cable is disconnected from the ion pump or controller end, The system is isolated and guarantees ground, high voltage, and safety connectivity that prevents accidental arcing.
Communications
Serial communications (RS232, RS422, and RS485) are standard on all DIGITEL™ products. Optional Ethernet protocol for advanced facility and instrumentation communications is available on all units.
Connectivity
Each DIGITEL has programmable analog and interlock capabilities. This allows for optimal flexibility when integrating with standard or legacy setpoint and analog monitoring systems.
DIGITEL Flexibility
The DIGITEL™ line is flexible enough to control a wide variety of ion pump and TSP/NEG configurations. The LPCe and MPCe
can operate up to four ion pumps simultaneously or independent operation of one or two pumps, respectively. The MPCe is capable of controlling one or two TSP/NEG cartridges independently.
