Operating statuses
1.1 Function of design
The electronic TURBOTRONIC NT 10, NT 12 and NT 13
frequency converters are used to drive TURBOVAC 50 and 50 D.
They differ as follows:
nthe housing
nthe connectors,
noperator control possibilities
nscope of supply, and
nin the configuration in which they are supplied.
The electronic frequency converters convert the single-phase
supply voltage into a three-phase AC voltage to control the
TURBOVAC induction motor.
The frequency converters operate according to a specific cycle:
The motor is driven for approximately 1 second and the
monitoring measurements are executed in the following 0.1
seconds.
The following operating statuses are displayed using LEDs:
nsupply voltage present
nrun-up
nstandard and
nfault Optionally
Various signals are available via 2 relay outputs.
After the start, the pump continuously accelerates with the
maximum current. This is identified by the yellow LED „ACCEL“
(acceleration) which is lit. The green „NORMAL“ LED is lit and
the „ACCEL“ LED goes dark when approximately 90% of the
rated speed is reached.
The speed is continuously monitored and controlled. When the
speed cannot be maintained, even at the maximum current, as a
result of external influences, e.g. excessive gas feed, the speed
decreases and the pump continues to operate.
When a rotational frequency of approximately 500 Hz is fallen
below, the „ACCEL“ LED lights-up on the frequency converter.
The TURBOTRONIK now attempts to accelerate the pump up to
its reference frequency.
The frequency converter outputs are no-load- and short-circuit
proof.
The electronic TURBOTRONIK frequency converters can be
connected to external open-loop control- and monitoring devices
with electrical isolation.
The cable connections between TURBOTRONIK - TURBOVAC
can be a maximum of 100 m.

SUPPLY
The relays can be assigned differently, also refer to Section
5.4.
The supply voltage or functional extra low voltage can be con-
nected to the relay contacts. Observe the appropriate safety
regulations.
3.4 Operating modes/remote control
When TURBOTRONIK NT 12 is shipped, 3 operating modes are
possible by appropriately connecting inputs, pins 4, 6 and 16 of
the plug connector strip.
The equipment configuration can also be changed-over to
other functions using plug-in jumpers and other jumpers; also
refer to Section 5.
Refer to Section 5.9 for circuit examples for remote control.
1. Remote control via 2 external pushbuttons
TURBOVAC starts if “START” (pin 16) is connected for at least 3
seconds with pin 4 via an NO pushbutton. TURBOVAC stops if
the connection to the “STOP” inputs (pins 4 and 6) is interrupted
using an NC contact.

2. Remote control via an external switch
Establish a conection between pins 4 and 16. TURBOVAC starts
if “STOP2” (pin 6) is connected to pin 4 via a switch. TURBOVAC
stops if the connection is re-interrupted.
3. Automatic start when the power is switched-on
Connect all of the three pins (4, 6, 16) with one another.
TURBOVAC starts automatically when the supply voltage is
connected.
TURBOTRONIK can also be controlled via relays, optocouplers
or open-collector circuits.
3.5 Operator control
Switch-on the TURBOTRONIK power supply, the “POWER” LED
must light-up.
Start TURBOVAC via remote control, refer to Section 3.4.
TURBOVAC accelerates. The “ACCEL” (acceleration) LED lights-
up.
The “NORMAL” LED lights-up and the “ACCEL” LED goes dark
when approximately 90% of the rated speed is reached.
Switch-off TURBOVAC via the remote control; refer to Section
3.4.
Only the “POWER” LED is lit.
After a fault has been removed, also shutdown the TURBOVAC
via the remote control and then restart it.

TURBOTRONIK NT13 CONNECTION AND OPERATION 4
The equipment may only be connected-up by a suitably
trained electrician or under his supervision in accordance
with the valid IEC (international), EN (European) and/or
domestic guidelines.
Caution
The plug connector strip of TURBOTRONIK NT13 is not
shockproof. Thus, the equipment must be installed in a housing
which is shockproof. The TURBOTRONIK NT13 has components
and parts at hazardous voltages. Before carrying out any work
with the equipment open, it must be isolated from the line supply
and locked-out against accidental re-closure.
4.1 Equipment configuration
4.1.1 Supply voltage range
TURBOTRONIK NT 13 can be operated with two supply voltages;
between 180-260 V or between 90-140 V.
It is set in the factory for a specific supply voltage range which
can be identified from the Order No., refer to Catalog No. under
Section 1.4.
Caution
TURBOTRONIK will be damaged if it is connected to the wrong
line supply voltage.
Refer to Section 5.1 when changing-over the supply voltage
range.
4.1.2 Relay assignment
TURBOTRONIK NT13 has 2 relays; Relay K 1 is used as
pressure trigger. It is switched, if a specified DC link current in
the TURBOTRONIK is fallen below. This DC link current
corresponds to a specific pressure under defined conditions.
When shipped, relay K 2 is not used. When it is connected, the
supply voltage outputs at pins 12 and 14 are no longer available.
The relays, when required, can be assigned, so that K1 indicates
the “NORMAL” operating status, and relay K2 can be used to
indicate faults or to control the pre-vacuum pump. Further, it is
possible to changeover from NC contact to NO contact. Also
refer to Section 5.
4.1.3 Resonance monitoring function
TURBOTRONIK NT 13 has a resonance monitoring function for
the TURBOVAC 50D. The resonance monitoring function shuts
down the drive and displays a fault if the pump remains in the
speed range between 45,000 and 55,000 RPM for longer than
approximately 1minute.
When shipped, the resonance monitoring function is active, and
can be disabled when operating the TURBOVAC 50; also refer to
Section 5.6.
Changing-over the relay
assignment
Tip
We recommend that if you
change the relay assignment
or if the resonance monitoring
function is disabled, then this
should either be noted on the
equipment itself, or documented
in the associated Instruction
Manual.

TURBOTRONIK NT13 CONNECTION AND OPERATION 4
Caution
If TURBOVAC 50D is used without the resonance monitoring
function, this can lead to bearing damage.
4.2 Installing TURBOTRONIK
TURBOTRONIK NT13 is designed for mounting in 19” racks. Four
holes are provided in the front panel for mounting.
Ensure that the equipment is adequately ventilated and, in
operation, it is not permissible that the ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C.
4.3 Electrical connection
The supply, the TURBOVAC, relays and control inputs are
connected via the plug connector strip at the rear of the unit;
refer to Fig. 7 for the pin assignment.
Caution
The line supply voltage can be present at various locations on
the connector strip. Only touch the connector connections when
the TURBOTRONIK is isolated from the line supply.
A mating connector to the plug connector strip is supplied with
the connecting cable to TURBOVAC. Connect-up the connecting
cable in accordance with the attached drawing “installation
information, pump cable”.
If you assemble you own connecting cable, observe that it can
be a maximum of 100 m long. Only use double screened cables
with the appropriate insulation. If you require any further
information please inquire.
Caution
High discharge currents! If the connecting cable between the
TURBOVAC and TURBOTRONIK is longer than 10 m, protective
ground must be connected to both units.
4.3.1 Connecting the relay contacts (also refer to Fig. 8)
A pressure trigger can be interrogated at pins 8 and 10
nPins 8-10 closed: The DC link current in the TURBOTRONIK is
lower than a specified limit value
nPins 8-10 open: The DC link current in the TURBOTRONIK is
greater than a specified limit value.
The limit value setting is very dependent on the particular
application. When required, please contact us.
The supply voltage or functional extra low voltage can be
connected to the relay contacts. Observe the appropriate safety
regulations.

4.3.2 Connecting the test sockets
A voltage is available at the front panel test sockets, which is
pro-portional to the DC link current in the TURBOTRONIK ( 1 mV
= 1 mA). For specific operating statuses, this current can be
assigned a particular inlet pressure; also refer to Fig. 8.
The relationship between the pressure and current depends on
the particular application. Please contact us if you have any
questions.
