-  * NOTE: it sometimes happens that the foreline pressure rises above the trip point for the Turbo Pump (e.g. if the pumpdown timer expires before pressure is below 300 mTorr, or there is too much back-up pressure from the chamber when the foreline valve opens). In this situation, you will see that: (1) the turbo pump will stop, (2) the turbo gate valve **I214GV** will be closed, (3) the foreline valve **I214GV** will be closed and the corresponding PanelMate box will turn red and display an error message "Foreline pressure > 2 Torr", and (4) the foreline pressure will be few Torr. In a situation like this, foreline valve needs to be bypassed open (in PanelMate) and the TP needs to be restarted. When the TP is at speed and **I214GV** automatically opens, you can remove the bypass of the foreline valve+  * NOTE: it sometimes happens that the foreline pressure rises above the trip point for the Turbo Pump (e.g. if the pumpdown timer expires before pressure is below 300 mTorr, or there is too much back-up pressure from the chamber when the foreline valve opens).
