With normal LOW SPEED operation, the pump will run
at about 2/3 of its nominal speed and achieves a base

specifications. If the gas load becomes higher, the
controller output frequency and voltage start to
decrease automatically, and the Turbo-V pump is
slowed down in proportion to the gas load until it
reaches 3 KRPM.
If the LOW SPEED mode is selected after normal
operating condition is reached, the display shows:

When the low speed mode is deselected, the pump

Pump Shutdown
Press the front panel STOP pushbutton or remove the
remote signal; the power from the turbopump will be
removed and the pump will begin to slow down.
Power Failure
In the event of a power failure (momentary or long term), the
Turbo-V controller will stop the turbopump and all the
interconnected pumps/devices. The Turbo-V vent valve
device, if used, will vent the turbopump only if the power failure
is longer than the preset delay time. When power is restored,
the Turbo-V controller automatically restarts the interconnected
devices and the turbopump in the proper sequence. The
