We have the Saturn 2200, when initializing the vacumm pump is ok, but the turbo pump is not full speed. It's running in low speed up to 64%, change to full speed it's up to 100%, then drop down 0%, the value is flipped 100% and 0%....
Please give me your commnents to fix it.

Hi!,

When you turn on the MS the turbo pump reaches 100%? and after that drop down?.
Which is the current of turbo pump? (in mA)

Regards!

When turn on the MS, the turbo pump increases gradually of full speed: 54% (400mA) -> 64% (450mA) -> 72% (650mA) -> 80% (700mA) -> 84% (850mA), then drop down and flip flop 0% <-> 100%.
Please give your advice to fix it.
In my opinion you need to collect money for a new turbo pump.
