ZShooter Vacuum Harnesses & Connections#
Scope: four vessel branches, gauges, automatic gate valves, and the shared pump. Related operations: environmental services.

Automatic valve operation is independent of host software. The local protection connections and any host status interface will be shown in the assembly drawings.
Service connections#
Each vessel needs an isolation arrangement for servicing or removal while the retained vessels remain in use. Disconnects, caps/blanks, and pump-down connections will be assigned with the manifold layout.
Team notes: Automatic-valve logic, pressure thresholds, and the response to pump or valve-power loss remain open. The selected equipment and manifold arrangement will establish the pump-down and recovery procedures.
