Product description por tolerance must be observed. The ultimate pressure achieved with the gas ballast is higher than op- eration without gas ballast. Operating fluid The vacuum pump oil, also referred to as operating fluid, fulfills several functions in a rotary vane pump: in addition to the lubrication of all moving parts, the operating fluid fills a part of the dead volume below the exhaust valve, and seals the gap.
1. Lift the pump out of the transport packaging using the intended crane eyebolt. 2. Remove both protective caps from the vacuum and exhaust connections only immediately before installation. 4.2 Storage Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport pack- aging. 15/58...

Transportation and Storage Storing the vacuum pump 1. Close both connection flanges. 2. Make sure that the gas ballast valve is closed. 3. Store the vacuum pump only in dry, dust-free rooms, within the specified ambient conditions. 4. Hermetically shrink-wrap the vacuum pump together with a drying agent in a plastic bag in case of damp or aggressive atmospheres.
Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Installing the vacuum pump ● Indoors, protected from dust deposits Installation location ● Outdoors, protected from direct weather influences Installation altitude max. 1000 m Orientation horizontal, max. permissible angle of inclination: ±1° Ambient temperature +12 °C to +40 °C Relative air humidity max.
Installation 5.3 Connecting the exhaust side WARNING Danger of poisoning due to emission of toxic process gases from the exhaust During operation with no exhaust line, the vacuum pump allows exhaust gases and vapors to escape freely into the air. In processes involving toxic media, there is a risk of injury and danger to life due to poisoning.
► Route the mains connection in accordance with locally applicable provisions. ► Always provide a suitable mains fuse to protect the motor and supply cable in the event of a fault. – Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the circuit breaker type "K" with slow tripping characteristic. NOTICE Risk of damage from high starting torque! The specific load behavior of the vacuum pump requires a direct start-up.
Installation Fig. 8: Multi-voltage motor (high voltage) 5.4.2 Three phase motor with 6-pin terminal board This motor can be connected in 2 different circuit configurations: ► Observe the voltage on the motor rating plate in each case. Delta connection Fig. 9: Delta connection for low voltage The 3 phases are connected in series and the connection points connected to the mains.
Installation 5.4.4 Motor protection PTC thermistor temperature sensor (3TF) Pump motors equipped with PTC thermistor temperature sensors (3TF) in the stator windings can be connected to a PTC resistor tripping device for protection against overload. You may also use other pro- ven motor monitoring systems.
● The following accessories are not included in the scope of supply. 5.6.1 Operating fluid temperature monitoring (option) Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends monitoring the operating fluid temperature using a temperature switch on the operating fluid separator (oil sump) and to use the signal for triggering an alarm. The change-over contact responds when the set switch-point is reached.

Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Commissioning Before switching on 1. Check the operating fluid in the sight glass. 2. Compare the voltage and frequency specifications on the motor rating plate with the available mains voltage and frequency. 3. Take appropriate steps (e.g. dust filter) to adequately protect the vacuum pump against taking in contamination.
Operation 6.3 Operating the rotary vane pump with gas ballast NOTICE Risk of damage from condensation in vacuum pump During operation without gas ballast, condensation may form as a result of the vapor compatibility of the vacuum pump being exceeded. ► Pump condensable vapors only when the vacuum pump is warm and the gas ballast valve open. ►...
2. Dismantle the installed gas ballast valve. 3. For sealing, apply Loctite to the thread turns. – Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends: Loctite 245 or Loctite 577. 4. Mount the solenoid valve with adapter to the angle, observing the flowing direction of the solenoid valve.
Operation Max. Min. Fig. 18: Fill pump with operating fluid Filling screw for operating fluid Sight glass O-ring Drain screw for operating fluid Refilling operating fluid 1. Switch off the pump. 2. Unscrew the operating fluid filler screw. 3. Refill operating fluid up to the “max.” marking, with the pump at operating temperature. 4.
If the required intervals listed below are exceeded, or if maintenance work is carried out im- properly, no warranty or liability claims are accepted on the part of Pfeiffer Vacuum. This also applies if original spare parts are not used.
Page 33
Depending on the operating conditions, the required maintenance intervals can be shorter than the reference values specified in the table. Please consult Pfeiffer Vacuum if necessary. You can find the corresponding spare parts in the chapter Spare parts packs .
● It is possible to detect thermal aging of the operating fluid from its color identification number (ap- plies to mineral oils only). Safety data sheets You can obtain the safety data sheets for operating fluids from Pfeiffer Vacuum on request, or from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center.
Maintenance 2. Allow the vacuum pump to cool if needed. 3. Vent the vacuum pump to atmospheric pressure via the intake side. 4. Unscrew the operating fluid filler screw. 5. Extract an operating fluid sample from the vacuum pump via the operating fluid filling port. 6.
12. Fill with new operating fluid and check the fill level. 7.3.3 Rinsing and cleaning If the inside of the pump is heavily contaminated with process residue, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends carrying out multiple operating fluid changes to drain the dirt. Changing the operating fluid for dirt drainage 1.
► Prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by taking respective safety precautions. ► Dispose of the exhaust filter according to the applicable regulations. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends replacing the exhaust filter in the operating fluid separator annually, de- pending on the work process and the contamination incurred during the process.

Maintenance – The arrow must point upwards (↑). 3. Place the new O-ring on the front side of the filter unit. 4. Insert the pre-assembled filter unit into the separator box. 5. Insert the new filter material into the housing groove of the separator box while fixing it with the fixing bolts.
Maintenance Fig. 24: Cleaning the gas ballast valve Gas ballast filter Gas ballast line Gas ballast valve Removing and cleaning the gas ballast filter 1. Dismantle the gas ballast filter. 2. Clean the gas ballast filter using compressed air. 3. Replace the filter in the event of strong contamination or damage. 4.
8. Hermetically shrink-wrap the vacuum pump together with a drying agent in a plastic bag if the vac- uum pump is to be stored in areas with damp or aggressive atmospheres. 9. For longer storage periods (> 2 years), Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends changing the operating fluid again prior to recommissioning.
