2. Introduction
2.1. Overview
The DIGITEL SPC-NEG is a modern NEG pump controller, suitable to operate
NEG pumps with a pumping speed of up to 400 l/s. The SPC-NEG can not
only push a current into the NEG's heater, but uses pre- dened routines,
with certain parameters, such as current values or heating duration. The
parameter values are chosen by the SPC-NEG based on the connected NEG
pump.
The routines are customizable to allow for experimenting with dierent
parameters. Reliable operation is accomplished by open-loop detection as
well as overload protection. A large touch screen provides direct readout of
voltage, current and remaining heat time. In addition, the ethernet interface
allows for remote control.
Individual model specication information is located on our website at:
