● Blind plug on the vacuum connection 3.3 Function The diaphragm pump of the MVP 030-3 DC series is a dry compressing vacuum pump with 3 pumping stages. The vacuum pump is a positive displacement pump with a periodic change in suction chamber size, produced by the movement of the diaphragm.
Transportation and Storage 4 Transportation and Storage 4.1 Transporting the vacuum pump Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov- Procedure In order to prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering the pump interior, it is important that the protec- tive cap is kept on the vacuum connection during transport.
Using the shortest possible vacuum connection lines with large nominal diameter prevents pressure losses. Condensate separator Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the installation of a condensate separator in case vapors are formed from moisture during evacuation. Procedure 1. Remove the locking cap from the vacuum connection.
Installation Procedure The silencer is mounted as standard. With higher gas throughput, an optional exhaust line can be mounted. 1. Check the installed silencer for free passage. 2. Choose a minimum exhaust line cross section equal to the connection nominal diameter. 3.

► Connect only suitable devices to the bus system. The connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel (DCU or HPU) or an external PC is pos- sible at pin 13 and pin 14 respectively.
Installation 5.4.5 Cross-linked via the RS-485 connection DANGER Danger to life from electric shock When establishing the voltages that exceed the specified safety extra-low voltage (according to IEC 60449 and VDE 0100), the insulating measures will be destroyed. There is a danger to life from elec- tric shock at the communication interfaces.

Important settings and function-related variables are factory-programmed into the vacuum pump elec- tronic drive unit as parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. Parameter- driven operation and control is supported via Pfeiffer Vacuum displays and control units, or externally via RS-485 using Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol.
All variables of the vacuum pump relevant for the function are stored as parameters in the electronic drive unit. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. Parameters can be used via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panels or via RS-485 with the Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol. Conventions Parameters are printed in bold as three-digit numbers in square brackets.
Operation Factory settings The electronic drive unit is pre-programmed in the factory. This makes a more direct and safe operation of the vacuum pump possible without additional configuration. You can configure the following parameters for the specific process: ● [P:026]: rotation speed setting mode on/off. ●...

3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 6.4.7 Standby mode Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for during process and production stops. With active stand-by mode, the electronic drive unit reduces the speed of the vacuum pump in the range of 30 to 100% of the nominal speed.
Operation 6.4.8 Normal operation The vacuum pump starts in boost mode for max. 5 minutes with the maximum speed. The current is monitored at the same time. If the current is below a threshold value, the speed is controlled down to nominal rotation speed.
Operation CAUTION Risk of poisoning due to toxic process gases escaping For intake pressures > 500 hPa, process gas may escape from the flushing gas nozzle. ► If necessary, use an extraction line. Fig. 7: Mounting the flushing gas nozzle 1 Locking screw, G 1/8"...
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.
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. Valves and diaphragms are wear parts. At the latest when the reached pressure values decrease, the suction chamber, the diaphragms as well as the valves should be cleaned and checked for cracks.

Maintenance To change the valves and diaphragms on pump head 2, rotate the vacuum pump by 180° and proceed in the same manner. 7.4 Check the ultimate pressure After working on the device (e.g. maintenance), check the ultimate pressure of the vacuum pump. Only where the vacuum pump reaches the specified ultimate pressure can the leakage rate, and thus the formation of potentially explosive mixtures in the pump interior, be avoided.
Decommissioning 8 Decommissioning 8.1 Decommissioning the vacuum pump for longer periods Observe the following notes before shutting down the vacuum pump for a longer period of time: Brief procedure after condensate forming 1. Allow the vacuum pump to run on for a few more minutes with the vacuum connection open. 2.
