Notes on the Agilent Varian V551 Navigator Turbomolecular Pumps
These Agilent Varian Turbo-V 551 Navigator turbomolecular high-vacuum pumps have an ISO-160 inlet flange, having an ultimate pressure of 1x10-8 Torr, and Agilent Varian part number 9698922. The Turbo-V 551 Navigator turbomolecular pumps have a maximize performance at minimum cost and size, with a pumping speed of 550 l/s of nitrogen (N2). We recommend a primary pump size as small as 8 CFM (e.g., Agilent Varian TriScroll 300 & IDP-15 dry scroll vacuum pumps or DS302 rotary vane vacuum pump) which can be used to operate the Turbo V 551 in all its pumping profiles. The Turbo-V 551 are compound pumps which include the MacroTorr drag stage technology to achieve the high-compression ratios for light gases and maximize the throughput of the pump. The Turbo V 551 Navigator turbo pumps with ISO inlet flange have an ultimate pressure as low as 1x10-8 Torr when used correctly, for example, the ISO inlet versions of these pumps allow the intake flange to be baked up to 80 degrees Celsius.

Agilent Varian Turbo-V 551 Navigator turbomolecular high-vacuum pumps are integrated into many analytical Instrumentation applications including Electron Microscopy (SEM, TEM), Focused Ion-beam Systems (FIB) and Surface Analysis Modern focused-beam systems such as SEM’s, TEM’s and FIB’s utilize columns that project electrons or ions onto microscopic samples for detailed analysis. End users analyze all types of substances from organic compounds to semiconductor wafers. In the Semiconductor industry, in particular, they require more sensitivity for better sample resolution. Another key requirement is high sample throughput in order to lower the cost of ownership of these instruments. Agilent Varian Turbo-V 551 Navigator turbomolecular high-vacuum pumps are also a key component in modern focused-beam systems because they offer fast, oil-free air evacuation of large sample chambers (oil-free operation is a key requirement of many modern analysis applications such as semiconductor manufacturing).

Notes on the Agilent Varian V550 rack mount controller
These Agilent Varian V550 rack-mount turbo pump controllers can operate on 100, 120, 220, or 240 volts AC input power. A manually operated input voltage selector is integrated into the rack mount controller power supply input (see photo below). A flat-head screwdriver can be used to pop out the voltage selector box, rotate the voltage selector to the desired input voltage, and re-insert. The Agilent Varian V550 Navigator rack-mount turbo pump controllers also incorporate auxiliary power connectors (1 Amp max output) for powering the cooling fan and vent valve devices. These auxiliary connectors are located in the upper right-hand corner on back side of controller (see figure below). Warning, these auxiliary power connectors are not to be used to power the roughing pump, 1 Amp maximum output! The turbo pump to controller cable is integral being built into the Turbo-V 550 rack-mount controller and is standard 10 foot length. A P1 connector on the back side of the rack-mount controller handles interlock an other logic (see photo below). A P1 interlock-jumped connector is provided with each new Turbo-V 550 rack-mount controller and this connector must be in place to by-pass the interlock and allow the pump to start after installation.
