Safe operation after installation is the responsibility of the operator. Do not independently modify or change the pump and electrical equipment. Make sure that the system is integrated in an emergency off safety circuit. Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum for special requirements. WARNING Danger of electric shock In case of defect, the parts connected to the mains supply are under voltage.
HiPace® and CompactTurbo series Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps with a capacity of ≤ 800 l/s. ● The external electronic drive unit TCP 350 serves as voltage supply, control and mon- itoring of a turbopump and connected peripherals. ● Only operate the pump with the respective electronic drive unit. The use of other than the intended electronic drive units is not permitted.
Product description Product description Product identification ● The external electronic drive unit TCP 350 serves as voltage supply, control and mon- itoring of a turbopump and connected peripherals. ● For total pressure measurement the connection of a vacuum gauge is possible.
Product description Range of application 3.3.1 Cooling Pfeiffer Vacuum electronic drive units TCP 350 must be installed and operated in the fol- lowing ambient conditions. Installation location weather protected (indoors) Protection category IP 20 Protection class Temperature +5 °C to +40 °C max.
Ensure sufficient air circulation if installed in enclosed housings. Do not hinder device internal air flow and removal. Ensure permissible ambient conditions in the rack cabinet (see p. 10, chap. 3.3). Connections Fig. 3: General overview of the connections on the TCP 350...
Connection to existing cable configurations For special or existing configurations Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the use of an adapt- er cable between the TCP 350 and an existing connection cable to the turbopump. See the accessories recommendations for the turbopump in question.
Fig. 5: Installing the earthing connection Accessory connection There are two connections (M8, M12 or RJ45) on the TCP 350 - turbopump connecting cable for the following accessories: – A1 or FAN/HEAT: Air cooling or heating 200 mA ●...
5.6.1 Connections A Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel (DCU or HPU) or an external PC can be connected to the electronic drive unit via the connection designated "RS-485". The inter- face is electrically isolated from the maximum supply voltage of the electronic drive unit.

Outputs The digital outputs on the "REMOTE" connection can handle a max. load of 50 mA per output. Some outputs are configurable with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set via the RS-485 interface (description relates to factory settings). DO1 (Rotation speed switchpoint attained) / Pin 8 Active high after the rotation speed switchpoint is attained.

Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set General 8.1.1 Factory settings The electronic drive unit is pre-programmed in the factory. This guarantees proper, reli- able turbopump operation without the need for additional configuration.
Ensure the gas mode is correctly set. Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum before using gases with a greater molecular mass (> 80). Friction causes the rotor to heat up severely under gas load and high rotation speed. To...
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the intermittend mode between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set 8.10 Operation with accessories Depending on the configuration, various accessories can be connected to the turbopump and controlled via parameter of the electronic drive unit.
Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set 8.10.1 Air cooling/heating It is necessary to select the accessory device via parameters [P:035]. Display of the selected accessory via parameters [P:335]. If air cooling is connected, it is immediately activated after switching on the pumping sta- tion with parameter [P:010].
Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set 8.11 Pressure measurement Pressure measurement with the TCP An exact pressure measurement is not possible with the TCP. This is particularly true with linear gauges in the lower pressure range. Use suitable measuring instrument.
Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set 8.13 Switching on/off the pump Start pump by pressing "Pumping station ON/OFF" key The "Pumping station" key only controls the parameter [P:010]. All components con- nected via the electronic drive unit will be activated or deactivated according to their configuration.
