How it works

The Pfeiffer TCP 121 has front-panel controls. The Pfeiffer TCP 121 has a stand-by function that permits the turbomolecular pump to operate at 66% of rated speed. The Pfeiffer TCP 121 has connections for remote control and for heating and cooling. Computer connections for data collection are optional.[4][5]
