1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope and definitions
This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards IS16K Vacuum Interlock Switch. Read this manual before attempting to install and operate the IS16K.
This manual contains essential safety information which supplements the safety features of the IS16K. Safety procedures are highlighted as WARNING and CAUTION instructions. You must obey these instructions. The use of WARNINGS and CAUTIONS is defined below.
CAUTION
Cautions are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in damage to the equipment, associated equipment and process.
1.2 General description
The Edwards IS16K Vacuum Interlock Switch is designed for applications where the electrical circuits within the vacuum chamber must be de-energised when the vacuum system is let up to atmosphere.
Typical applications would be the in terlocking of H.T. and R.F. power supplies on va cuum coating systems. The interlocking switch consists o f a positive break microswitch operated by a snap action diaphram to ensure rapid separation of the microswitch cont acts.
The diaphram is enclosed within the vacuum switch housing which is surrounded by atmospheric pressure and is coupled to the vacuum system by a NW16 flange. The absolute switch point pressure will therefore vary by the same amount as the atmospheric pressure.
The set-point is non-adjustable and cannot be tampered with.
WARNING
Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to people.

INSTALLATION
D059-14-880 Issue D
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Unpacking and inspection
Remove all packing materials and protective covers and check the IS16K for damage. If the IS16K is damaged, notify your supplier and the carrier in writin g within three days; state the It em Number of the IS16K together w ith your order number and your supplier's invoice number. Retain all packing materials for inspection. Do not use the IS16K.
3.2 General
The vacuum switch should be mounted as close as possible to the point at which the pressure is to be measured. Use a short branch tube with an internal diameter no less than that of the switch vacuum connection. Long, narrow and angled connections can cause significant errors.
This equipment is not protected from dripping water from above, unless mounted with the vacuum fl ange point ing downwards.
3.3 Connection to the Vacuum System
The vacuum switch may be mounted in any orientation but mounting with the vacuum switch vertical will prevent the possibility of debris falling into the vacuum port and affecting the performance of the switch.
3.4 Connection to the Electrical Circuit
CAUTION
Ensure that the circuit connected to the vacuum switch is suitably fused to prevent the switch contact rating being exceeded. The fuse rating must not exceed 10 amps.
WARNING
Do not allow the internal pressure to be higher than 1 bar gauge (2 bar absolute). If the pressure in your system can be higher than 1 bar gauge, you must fit a suitable pressure relief valve. Overpressure of the switch could cause injury to persons.
WARNING
Ensure that the electrical installation of the Vacuum Switch conforms with your local and national safety requirements. It must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply and a suitable earth point.
WARNING
If, in your application, failure of this switch could lead to a safety hazard, it is recommended that the switch should be wired in series with another interlocking device, for example chamber lid microswitch, to provide a double level of protection.

INSTALLATION
Connect the vacuum switch to the equipment using the four pole mPm connector supplied. The contacts on this connector are internally wired as follows:-
Figure 1 - Vacuum switch plug connections
CAUTION
To ensure that the socket cable gland strain relief is effective a cable with a minimum diameter of 6 mm must be used.
Select a three or four core cable of a rating suitable for the power su pply to be switched. One core should be coloured green/yellow for the earth connection.
Thread the cable through the cable gland on the mPm socket cover and connect to the appropriate terminals as shown on the diagram.
Tighten the cable gland and connect the socket to the switch using the sealing gasket and locking screw provided.
Earth connection.

4OPERATION
4.1 Adjustment
The IS16K Vacuum interlock switch is pre-set to operate in the range of 250 to 50 0 mbar below atmosp heric pressure. No user adjustment is available.

MAINTENANCE
5 MAINTENANCE
To ensure correct operation this vacuum switch should be tested once per year or every 10 000 cycles whichever is sooner.
To test for correct operation proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the electrical supply from the vacuum switch.
2. Connect an electrical continuity meter between the pin marked 'com' and the pin marked 'Lo'. Refer to Figure 1 for pin connections.
3. With the IS16K at atmosphere verify that the meter reads open circuit.
4. Reduce the pressure to below 500 mbar (as measured on a vacuum gauge) and check that the meter reads short circuit.
5. Raise the pressue to above 500 mbar and check that the meter reads open circuit again.
The outer surfaces of the switch may be cleaned by wiping wi th a dry cloth. Avoid the use of solvents that may a ttack the moulded cover.
This product contains no user serviceable parts.
WARNING
Ensure that maintenance is done by a suitably trained and supervised technician. Obey your local and national safety requirements.
