Chapter 3
Overview
3.1 Introduction
The Service Module (SM) provides support functions for the HAPSITE Chemical
Identification System. It is compatible with all HAPSITE models.
 The Service Module contains pumps that create vacuum for the HAPSITE
manifold, both during GC/MS operation and non-evaporable getter (NEG)
pump activation.
 The Vacuum Interconnect (VI) valve between HAPSITE and the Service
Module is opened and closed by the Load Lock via the software.
 A 24 V (dc) power supply in the Service Module provides HAPSITE with power.
 The Service Module also contains backup batteries to provide power during a
controlled shutdown of the system if power is lost.
The Service Module operates using two pumps, a Roughing Pump and a
Turbo Pump.
The Roughing Pump works in series with the Turbo Pump to create a vacuum
(typically about 1x10-03 to 3x10-03 Pa pressure) which is suitable for operating the
HAPSITE Mass Spectrometer.
The Roughing Pump starts first to create the vacuum and will remain running.
Once there is sufficient vacuum, the Turbo Pump will start to further reduce the
pressure.

CAUTION

Damage to the Turbo Pump may result from moving the

Service Module while the pump is operating.

CAUTION

The Service Module is not water resistant and is not

designed to withstand decontamination

3.2.1 UPS (Backup) Batteries

The Service Module contains two 12 V(dc) lead-acid gel-cell backup batteries
which provide 24 V(dc). When power is lost, they provide power required for a
controlled shut down of the Service Module including:
 closing the Vacuum Interconnect valve (if necessary)
 venting the Service Module manifold
 shutdown of the electronics
The shutdown procedure takes about thirty seconds, during which the POWER
indicator on the Service Module display will remain illuminated.

CAUTION

After a power loss, all operations that were interrupted

must be restarted by the user.

When the Service Module is manually turned off by the user, the Service Module
will perform the same controlled shutdown procedure.
The Service Module backup batteries automatically charge whenever the Service
Module is powered on.

 HAPSITE Service Module Operating Manual

3.2.2 Load Lock Assembly

The Load Lock Assembly connects the Turbo Pump and Roughing Pump with the
Manifold on HAPSITE.
The Load Lock Assembly contains a motorized mechanism to open, or close, the
VI (Vacuum Interconnect) valve. The VI valve separates the HAPSITE Manifold
from the Service Module pumps.

CAUTION

The system will not be ready for use until a Turbo Pump
speed of 1480 Hz is reached.

NOTE: Depending on the amount of water vapor (humidity) present, it may take
several minutes for a dry system, or hours for an extremely wet system, for
the pump speed to reach 1480 Hz.
The Turbo Molecular Pump (TMP) indicator on the Service Module display will
illuminate ACCL (accelerate) when the MDP/Turbo Pump is accelerating and
NORM (normal) when the MDP/Turbo Pump has reached 1480 Hertz.

5.4 Starting Up HAPSITE on the Service Module

Please refer to section 5.2, Placing HAPSITE on the Service Module, on page 5-2
on how to place the HAPSITE on the Service Module prior to attaching.

CAUTION

Prior to attaching HAPSITE to the Service Module, unplug

the black NEG cable inside the HAPSITE front panel. This
will ensure that the NEG will not heat when using the
Service Module to provide vacuum.

WARNING

Attaching or venting HAPSITE with a NEG that has not

cooled will cause total NEG consumption and possibly
result in severe damage to the HAPSITE Mass
Spectrometer components. It may also result in physical
injury since extreme heat generation from NEG
consumption will create hot surfaces.

CAUTION

Damage to the Turbo Pump may result from moving the

Service Module while the pump is operating.

NOTE: If the Service Module must be moved and HAPSITE is Attached (Turbo
Pump is running), first Detach HAPSITE and power off the Service
Module. See section 5.6, Detaching HAPSITE, on page 5-16.
Power for HAPSITE is provided through the Service Module as long as the Service
Module is connected to a power source and turned on. Turn on HAPSITE by
pushing the POWER button either inside or outside the front door, depending on
the HAPSITE model.
NOTE: If HAPSITE is already powered on, it does not need to be turned off before
placing it on the Service Module.

5.5 Attaching HAPSITE to the Service Module

WARNING

Attaching or venting HAPSITE with a NEG that has not

cooled will cause total NEG consumption and possibly
result in severe damage to the HAPSITE Mass
Spectrometer components. It may also result in physical
injury since extreme heat generation from NEG
consumption will create hot surfaces.

If the Service Module has been in storage, refer to section 4.2.1, Setting Up the
Service Module, on page 4-2 before continuing.
HAPSITE must be turned on before continuing (refer to section 5.4, Starting Up

HAPSITE on the Service Module, on page 5-2).
HAPSITE can be electronically attached to the Service Module using the IQ
Software, or using the HAPSITE front panel. Refer to the appropriate HAPSITE
model operating manual for more instruction on front panel usage.

CAUTION

When operating the Service Module, the vents must be

kept clear to allow free airflow. Air flows from right to left
through the Service Module to allow cooling of the
pumps. A blockage can prevent the air from cooling the
pumps properly and may cause the over-temperature
protection sensor to automatically shut down the pumps.
