Operation Warning 3.4 Switching off Monitor the purge gas flow continuously. Insufficient purge gas flow can result in: See the TURBOTRONIK Operating Instructions. - Process gases entering the motor and Vent the TURBOVAC before it comes to a full standstill; bearing area of the TURBOVAC see Section 3.5.

Operation mbar Time/s Fig. 19 Curve for safe venting of the TURBOVAC; pressure rise as a function of venting time Pumps International 3.5 Venting Caution www.PumpsInt.com The pressure in the motor and bearing chamber of the TURBOVAC must always Vent the TURBOVAC each time it is shut down, in order be higher than that in the forevacuum to prevent any return diffusion of oil vapors out of the chamber.
Operation 3.6 Power failure - Cable break If there is a power failure or if the mains plug is accident- ally disconnected, the TURBOTRONIK automatically switches over to generator operation to drive the TURBOVAC. In this way the active magnetic bearing control circuits will be kept in operation as the pump runs down, until the rotor seats on the touch-down bearings once it has reached a low speed.
Reconnect the purge gas hose to the hose nozzle. If you send a purge gas valve to Leybold for repair, in- dicate any harmful substances which may be in or at the valve.
