Technical Specifications * Model: SCU-A2503PV

• Manufacturer: BOC Edwards
• Product Type: Turbomolecular Pump Control Unit
• Intended Use: Control and monitoring of BOC Edwards STP series turbomolecular pumps.
• Pump Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with STP-A2503/A3003 series pumps, and compatible with various SCU models (e.g., SCU-800, SCU-750, SCU-1400, SCU-1500, SCU-1600) via specific connection cables.
• Corrosion Resistant (C/CV) Pump Designation: The control unit is compatible with standard, corrosion-resistant ("C"), and enhanced corrosion-resistant with Temperature Management System ("CV") variants of STP pumps.
• Temperature Management System (TMS): The SCU-A2503PV supports TMS functionality for monitoring pump temperature and controlling the TMS valve and base heater.
• Backup Rotational Speed: Capable of backing up to a specified rotational speed during power failure events.
• Maximum Gas Flow Rate: While the control unit itself does not have a direct gas flow rate specification, it can manage pumps with varying flow rates, such as 1,300 L/min. It is advised to consult Edwards for conditions exceeding maximum gas flow rates.

Electrical Characteristics * Input Voltage: Compatible with 200 - 240 VAC.

Interfaces and Communication * Serial Communication: Supports serial communication protocols for integration into larger control systems.

• STP-Link: May support STP-Link functionality for specific pump models, excluding the SCU-750.
• Pump Connection: Utilizes specific connection cables for different SCU models (e.g., SCU-750/SCU-800 STP connection cable, SCU-1400/SCU-1500/SCU-1600 STP connection cable).
• Power Cable: Requires a specific power cable depending on the SCU model.
