1 Foreword We appreciate your selection of an EBARA A Series dry vacuum pump. EBARA has manufactured this pump with much care and attention to permit safe and satisfactory operation. Incorrect operation will result in lack of performance and may cause accidents and injuries to personnel.
Adjusting the regulation pressure to the specified value supplies the correct amount of N gas for these two types of purge operation. The pumps of this series are equipped with a dilution N gas control valve. Consult EBARA before adjusting the N gas supply to the appropriate level for specific conditions of use.
The pump will stop automatically and generate a TRIP signal output if a parameter approaches a mechanical safety limit. Contact EBARA Corporation for details on checking the ALARM and TRIP setting conditions. 3.2.2 Operation Status Control To facilitate operation status control and daily inspection, the LCD controller displays the sensor data.

In humid locations, allowing the cooling water to run when the CAUTION pump is stopped will lead to condensation on parts of the pump. If droplets appear on the outside of the water tubes when the pump is not running, cut off water flow. EBARA Corporation...
Without proper ventilation, the temperature inside the cover may rise, causing an ALARM. The pump does not have a gas leak detector. For hazardous gases, EBARA recommends installing a gas leak detector, interlocked to gas flow, in the ventilation duct piping.
Apply a voltage not exceeding 50V DC on the equipment side. Wire signals with correct polarity CAUTION (SIGNAL/COMMON). When output signals energize an inductive load, such as a CAUTION relay, insert a diode (100V. 1A class) to absorb the back electromotive force from surge currents. EBARA Corporation...

Safety Interlocks In compliance with SEMI S2, Safety Guidelines for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment, EBARA A Dry Vacuum pumps include a set of safety interlocks, which shut down the pump upon detecting a violation of "safe" condition. The following interlocks are standard equipment on all A Series Pumps: Emergency Off (EMO): A manually activated button breaks a low-voltage control circuit that, in turn, interrupts line power.
Page 65
Cabinet Exhaust Flow Sensor and Liquid Leak Sensor: Strict compliance with SEMI S2-93A (and S2-0200) requires a cabinet exhaust flow interlock and a leak detector. Most customers find incorporating these features, as needed, into facilities sensors is more economical than including the capability with each individual pump. See Appendix 3. EBARA Corporation...
Should your vacuum pump application require frequent manual operation of the controls, you may contact your sales representative or the nearest EBARA office for assistance in mounting the controls at a convenient height.
