Use appropriate lockout/tagout out procedures to de-energize unit. b. De-energize all areas of unit that may be in contact with spilled or leaking material.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Compatibility The IntelliGen dispense system has been optimized for the dispense of photoresists and other ® photochemicals. The system is uniquely designed to deliver highly accurate dispenses even at very low volumes with high repeatability. The internal wettable surfaces of the dispense system are PTFE, modified PTFE and Kalrez.

INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Two-stage Technology Operating Principle The IntelliGen dispense system uses a proven, unique two-stage design to operate dispense and filtration functions independently. Filtration occurs at a reduced rate, which prevents microbubble formation and maximizes filter performance. The system uses two motors (one for fill, one for dispense), and advanced fluid paths to deliver extreme repeatability at dispense rates down to 0.1 mL /sec.

INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM The following diagram shows the absolute mini- mum required clearances for filter replacement. The filter can be placed into the service area, then slid into the manifold. This feature allows easy installation into tight areas with drip trays, etc.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Installation Facility Requirements • Filtered N or CDA, 551 kPa (80 psig) This section covers the site requirements, tools and • Vacuum >20 in Hg equipment to install the system. Technical support is available for all installation types.
Refer to system dimensional drawings on previous pages. Step 3: Connect Electrical Supply Cable 1. Connect power/communications cable. Contact Entegris for any pinout or connection details. Step 4: Connect N and Vacuum Supplies 1. Connect filtered and regulated N or CDA supply to the inlet connection.

INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Storage • A self-test page with tests designed to evaluate the status of the dispense pump. Short-term “Wet” Storage • An improved alarms page that allows the user to search and sort alarms history to determine A wet pump should be left in auto-recirculation changes to the system.
• The exact COM port will depend on the specific computer connection and system setup. 2. Enter the Address, or click “Scan” to search for pump connections. • Each IntelliGen MV system can be assigned a unique address from 1 to 63. 3. Click “Connect” to connect to the pump.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM System Tab The System tab provides variables relating to the system management of the pump. Variables can be changed from the default values to optimize the dispense system. Use the mouse-over feature to obtain more information on displayed variables.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Priming Tab The Priming tab provides the ability to purge the dispense pump and system of air using a “priming sequence” of steps. • Use “Loading a Sequence from a Saved File” to load an existing priming sequence.
Page 19
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Creating a Sequence A priming sequence can be created with multiple steps to provide the most efficient sequence for a specific fluid type and viscosity: 1. Under “Type” select a type of priming. 2. Under “Count” enter how many times the type of priming is to be performed.

INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Quick Access Menu The Quick Access Menu allows the user to quickly perform certain functions without switching pages. This will clear all active warnings and errors. This will open the vent valve, relieving pressure on the fill side of the filter.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Alarms Tab The Alarms tab displays information on the pump system’s current state and history. Types of Alarms Error Type Action Solution Critical error Pump shuts down immediately. Clear error. If problem persists, Motors are disabled.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Recipe Tab The Recipe tab allows access to the variables that control dispense. To import or save all recipes or individual recipes: 1. Click on the Menu logo. 2. Select File. 3. Select Import or Save.
INTELLIGEN MV DISPENSE SYSTEM Recharge Tab The Recharge tab allows access to the variables that control the “Recharge” portion of the dispense cycle, including vent, purge, fill and filtration, and maximum dispense volume. Use the mouse-over feature to obtain more information on displayed variables.
