Performance data of the pump are determined with the standard operating fluid. These can deviate from the default values when using other certified operating fluids. Use application-specific operating fluid only after consultation with Pfeiffer Vacuum. Unscrew operating fluid filler screw 3.
Installation – Check operating fluid daily in non-stop operation, otherwise whenever the pump is switched on. Refilling is possible when the pump is in final vacuum operation. WARNING Toxic vapours! Danger of poisoning when igniting and heating synthetic operating fluids (e.g. F4/F5) above 300°C.
Installation Choose the cross-section of the exhaust line to be at least the size of the nominal connection diameter of the vacuum pump's exhaust connection. Piping to the pump must be suspended or supported. – Physical forces from the piping system must not be allowed to act on vacuum pumps.

Installation Fig. 6: Motor circuit diagram with switch Changing the voltage range Only valid for pumps with reversible motor: The mains voltage must be determined on-site each time before the pump is in- stalled or moved to a different location. ...
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Before switching on the pump Check the operating fluid level in the sightglass. Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the mains voltage and frequency values. Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure 1.5 bar absolute).

Maintenance 6.4 Switching off the pump The pump can be switched off in any pressure range. Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differ- ential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥ 250 mbar, then the valve closes automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
Checklist for inspec- Certain repair and overhaul work should only be performed by Pfeiffer Vacuum Service (PV). Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims tion, maintenance if the required intervals for inspection, maintenance, or overhaul are exceeded or...
