● Water cooling (optional) In the case of excess temperature the electronic drive unit reduces the drive power au- tomatically. Range of application The pumping station HiCube Pro must be installed and operated in the following ambient conditions. Installation location weather protected (indoors)
Ensure sufficient cooling for the pumping station. When magnetic fields exceed the approved values, a suitable shielding must be used. Check installation location and consult Pfeiffer Vacuum if needed! The maximum permissible rotor temperature for the turbopump is 90 °C. If high tem- peratures arise for process reasons, the radiated heat input must not exceed the per- missible values.
2000 N per anchorage point. Connecting the high vacuum side The assembly of superstructures on the pumping station HiCube Pro is in the operator’s responsibility. The load capacity of the high vacuum flange is specific for the used tur- bopump.
Connect the control leads to the electronic drive unit. Operation of the turbopump with the electronic drive unit separate The operation of the turbopump with a separated electronic drive unit is only possible using the respective Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories. 5.5.1 Connecting the high vacuum side ...
Transportation lock Turbo pumping stations of the HiCube Pro line are equipped with transportation lock for the backing pumps (see label). The transportation lock consists of two opposing knurled screws with spring suspension which fasten the backing pump's bottom plate.
Do not introduce any additional energy into the pump (see p. 19, chap. 6.1). ● The air cooling serves to the cooling of Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps at ambient tem- peratures of max. + 35 °C.
Installation Connect the transmitter appropriately (see operating instruction of the ActiveLine trans- mitter). Open the cover of the casing for electronics. Fig. 7: HiCube Pro, running a measuring cable Display and control unit Measuring cable Measuring gauge Control casing ...
