Installation and operation of accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps can be equipped with a series of adapted accessories. The in- stallation, operation and maintenance of connected devices are described in detail in the operating instructions of the individual components.
● Only use the vacuum pump for applications with oxygen concentration ≤ 21%. ● Installation, operating and maintenance regulations must be complied with. ● Other accessories, than those described in this manual, must not be used without the agreement of Pfeiffer Vacuum.
● use of the vacuum pump to generate pressure ● pumping of liquids ● the use of operating fluids not specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum ● connection to pumps or units which are not suitable for this purpose according to their operating instructions ●...
Transport and storage Transport and storage Transport WARNING Danger from falling and swinging loads! When lifting the pump there is a danger of falling parts. Make sure that there are no persons under the suspended load. Close off and supervise the area under the pump. CAUTION Operating fluid overflows into the pump system if the pump is tilted! Vane fractures when pump starts up.

Installation Connecting the vacuum side Remove locking cap from the vacuum flange and insert centering ring. The connection between the pump and the vacuum chamber should be kept as short as possible. – Depending on the pump type, use metallic hoses or PVC hoses with flange con- nections.
Installation Connecting to the mains power supply Depending on the pump type, different motor versions or mains voltages are possible: ● Single phase motor for fixed voltage without motor protection, mains cable and switch. ● Three-phase motor without motor protection. DANGER Voltage-bearing elements Danger to life from electric shock.

Operation Switching off The pump can be switched off in any pressure range. HenaLine rotary vane pumps have an integrated non-return valve on the suction side. This closes automatically when the pump is switched off and therefore prevents the re- turn flow of gas and processing materials into the suction pipe.
Maintenance Maintenance Precautions WARNING Danger of injury from moving parts! After power failure or motor shutdown due to overheating, the motor may restart auto- matically. Secure the motor so that it cannot be switched on while any work is being performed on the pump.
Certain maintenance and overhaul work should only be performed by Pfeiffer Vacuum Checklist for inspec- Service (PV). Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims if the tion, maintenance required, below listed, intervals are exceeded or maintenance or overhaul procedures and overhaul are not performed properly.

Maintenance Where discolouration is red brown (equivalent to 5 on the scale) change operating flu- id at the latest. If the interior of the pump is heavily contaminated with process residues, we recommend Flushing and clean- performing several changes of operating fluid to flush away the contamination: ...
Maintenance Changing the exhaust filter in the operating fluid separator Exhaust filters 122 in operating fluid separator 75 should be replaced, depending on the application and level of contamination, however at least once every year. It is recom- mended to replace also the respective O-rings 121. During operation, the exhaust filters become saturated with oil.
Maintenance Slacken screws in the ventilator cowl if necessary, and remove ventilator cowl 340. Operating fluid leaks out When the banjo fitting is released, a small amount of operating fluid leaks out. Have a cleaning cloth to hand. ...
Maintenance Changing the intake filter The intake filter, located in the upper part of the intake flange must be cleaned when the intake throughput reduces. Unscrew screws 265 from the vacuum flange and dismantle flange Remove intake sieve 261 from the intake port and clean it. ...
Replace the radial shaft sealing rings and further elastomer parts. Replace bearings at pumps with anti-friction bearings. Follow the maintenance instructions and inform Pfeiffer Vacuum. Disposal Products or parts thereof (mechanical and electrical components, operating fluids, etc.) may cause environmental burden.
NOTICE Service work should be carried out by a qualified person only! Pfeiffer Vacuum is not liable for any damage to the pump resulting from work carried out improperly. Take advantage of our service training programs; additional information at www.pfei- ffer-vacuum.com.
