A770-10-880A - Safety and compliance Safety and compliance Definition of Warnings and Cautions Important safety information is highlighted as WARNING and CAUTION instructions; these instructions must be obeyed. The use of WARNINGs and CAUTIONs is defined below. WARNING: Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to people.
A770-10-880A - General description General description Overview WARNING: Improper use of the equipment could cause damage to it or injury to people. The user is responsible for the safe operation, installation and monitoring of the system. The pump is a cord connected system rated 200 - 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 8.5 A. The pumping system is intended for use on clean duty applications only.
A770-10-880A - General description If pumping a gas not listed, contact the supplier for advice. Failure to contact the supplier may invalidate the warranty on the pump. The pump is not suitable for pumping aggressive or corrosive gases. Figure 1 nXLi 1.
A770-10-880A - General description The pump controller provides the user interface control panel. The pump may be operated in these modes: • Manually, using the buttons on the user interface panel control panel. Refer to Figure 1 on page 11, item (1) and Figure 2 on page 12.
A770-10-880A - General description parallel with the pump NORMAL output signal, that is, the (normally closed) valve opens when the normal signal becomes active (pump at speed) and closes when stop is selected or there is a fault condition. Reaction time will be in line with valve selection. The output signal is 24 V d.c.
A770-10-880A - General description Description Data Mating connector plug; screw Phoenix part number SACC-M 8MR-4CON-M-SW connection, right angle Mating connector plug; solder Phoenix part number SACC-M 8MR-4CON-M connection, right angle Pump controller configuration All the configuration settings stored within the pump controller are retained when power to the pump is removed so that it is possible to use a separate system to configure the pump controller before fitting the pump to the application.
This publication is available on request by contacting Edwards. • Contact the local service centre or Edwards for more information regarding advice or assistance on installation. • Do not remove the temporary covers from the system inlet and exhaust until ready to connect to the vacuum or exhaust extraction system.
A770-10-880A - Installation The pump is supplied fixed by metal brackets to a wooden pallet with a cardboard surround. These metal brackets should be removed and retained. • Take care when unpacking the pump to avoid excessive shocks which could damage the bearings and reduce the life of the pump.

A770-10-880A - Installation WARNING: Install the pump in the vacuum system before connecting the pump to the power supply. This will ensure that the pump cannot operate and injure people during installation. WARNING: Topple hazard. Do not exceed the topple angle when moving the pump or the pump may fall over and injure people.
Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and scratch-free. • Edwards recommends the use of an exhaust extraction system suitable for use with all process gases being pumped. Ensure that the exhaust extraction system cannot become blocked or obstructed when the pump is operating.
A770-10-880A - Installation Note: Ensure that the nitrogen supply conforms to the requirements given in Table 11 page 36 section. If it does not, the gas pipelines may become blocked or the dry pumping system may be damaged. Refer to Figure 1 on page 11, item (12) for location of the nitrogen purge port.
Parallel and serial control mode on page 22 for more information. To control the pump using the serial interface, please contact Edwards for further information. Additional safety equipment Install suitable measurement equipment in the nitrogen supply pipeline if the process tool/ control system needs to know the total flow rate of nitrogen to the pump for safety reasons.
A770-10-880A - Operation Operation Operation safety WARNING: Do not operate the pump with any parts of the enclosures removed or damaged as there may be a risk of an electric shock. WARNING: Do not expose any part of the human body to the vacuum as this could result in injury to or death of people.
A770-10-880A - Operation CAUTION: This is an industrial (Class A, Group 1) product as defined by EN55011 and EN61325. To ensure compliance with European Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements for EMC emissions, please note that it is not intended for use in domestic buildings or in properties directly connected to an electrical supply network which also supplies domestic buildings.
A770-10-880A - Operation The available controls are: • Run/Stop • Normal/OK signal • Standby Figure 4 on page 23 shows which connections to make to enable the functions. The "AUTORUN" switch (Figure 1 on page 11, item 7) should be in the 'OFF' position for remote operation.
The parameters shown in Table 4 on page 25 are visible on the display screen whilst the pump is running: To view other parameters please refer to the digital operator user manual or by contacting Edwards. Page 24...
A770-10-880A - Operation Figure 5 Digital operator screen view Table 4 Displayed parameters Parameter code Parameter description U1-01 Reference frequency (set to 450 Hz) U1-02 Actual frequency (Hz) U1-03 Output current (A) Transient overload protection The pump operates an overload protection condition such that if the load exceeds the pumps capacity, the pump will momentarily stop before restarting automatically to attempt pump down again.
Note: If the pump has automatically shut down because of high pump power, check that the pump is free to rotate before restarting: contact Edwards. If the pump has been automatically shut down because of an alarm condition, the alarm condition must be rectified before restarting the pump.
A770-10-880A - Maintenance and service Maintenance and service General maintenance The system requires no user maintenance. Maintenance must be carried out by Edwards service centres (refer to Service on page 27). The frequency of maintenance operations depends on the process. Adjust the frequency of maintenance operations according to user experience.
Do not drain oil from the pump whether dangerous substances have been pumped or not. Blanking plates must be fitted to seal vacuum inlet and outlet ports to prevent possible oil leakage. Ensure the pump is correctly labelled. If in doubt, contact Edwards. To store the pump: 1.
Dispose of the pump and any components and accessories safely and in accordance with all local and national safety and environmental requirements. Edwards products are supported by a world-wide network of Edwards Service Centres. Each Service Centre offers a wide range of options including disposal. Refer to...
Remedy Ensure that the vacuum measurement equipment is calibrated and is in date and that the correct gauge range has been selected for the application. Contact Edwards for further assistance on gauge selection, if required. Cause The vacuum fittings are dirty or damaged.
