Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Setting up the pump Installation location Observe the following requirements when setting up the pump: • Note the load-bearing capacity of the mounting surface. • Maximum installation altitude 2000 m (above mean sea level) • Permissible ambient temperature: +12 ... 40°C •...
Installation WARNING Emission of toxic substances from the exhaust! Danger of poisoning from emitted gases or vapours, which can be detrimental to health and/or can pollute the environment, depending on the particular application. Î Comply with the applicable regulations when working with toxic substances. Î...

Installation Single phase motors Î The mains voltage must be determined on-site each time before the pump is in- stalled or moved to a different location. NOTE Overvoltage! An incorrect voltage range setting can damage the motor. Î Disconnect the pump from the power supply. Î...
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Before switching on the pump Î Compare the voltage information on the rating plate with the mains voltage. Î Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure 1.1 bar absolute). – Activate the shut-off valves in such a way that they open before or at the same time as the pump is started.
Operation 6.3 Pumping condensable vapours Should the process gases contain condensable gases present at high percentages, the vacuum pump must be operated with a gas ballast (i.e. with an open gas ballast valve). WARNING Reactive, explosive or otherwise dangerous mixtures! Uncontrolled gas inlet at the gas ballast valve can result in dangerous mixtures.
Î Re-assemble pump in reverse order. NOTE Service work should be carried out by qualified personal only! Pfeiffer Vacuum is not liable for any damage to the pump resulting from work carried out improperly. Î Take advantage of our service training programs; additional information at www.pfeiffer-vacuum.net.
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...

Maintenance Î First gently and then firmly tighten diagonally-offset cheesehead screws26; torque: 12 Nm. NOTE Dissimilar valves! Pump not achieving the specified end pressure Î Make sure the valves have the correct mounting orientation; the outlet valve in head cover K1 and the inlet valve in head cover K2 are from PTFE (white). The two other valves are from FPM (brown).

Maintenance MVP 070-3 Cleaning and repla-cing the valves Î Turn off the vacuum pump, vent to atmospheric pressure and allow to cool, if necessary. Î Disconnect the drive motor from the mains and secure it so that it cannot be switched on.
Page 20
Maintenance Changing the Diaphragm Attach the diaphragm key Î Carefully raise the diaphragm at the side without causing it any damage; do not use sharp-edged tools. Î Slide diaphragm key under the diaphragm until it reaches the support disk. Î Use the diaphragm key to loosen the diaphragm support disk and unscrew to- gether with diaphragm and diaphragm spring washer.

Maintenance 7.3 Replacing the device fuses The safety fuses (PU E22 016 -T) are located in the terminal box and are integrated into a cable. WARNING Voltage-bearing elements Danger to life from electric shock. Î The fuses can be changed only by trained and authorised electricians. Î...
Decommissioning 8 Decommissioning 8.1 Shutting down for longer periods Before shutting down the pump, observe the following procedure and adequately protect the pump system against corrosion: Shortly after conden- Î Let the vacuum pump continue to run for several minutes with the intake port open.
Malfunctions 9 Malfunctions Please note the following instructions should the pump malfunction: CAUTION Hot surface! Danger of burns if hot parts are touched. The surface temperature of the pump may rise above 105 °C in case of malfunction. Î Carry out work on the pump only after it has cooled to a safe temperature.
NOTE Service work should be carried out by qualified personal only! Pfeiffer Vacuum is not liable for any damage to the pump resulting from work carried out improperly. Î Take advantage of our service training programs; additional information at www.pfeiffer-vacuum.net.
