Safety 2 Safety ► 2.1 General safety instructions ► This document includes the following four risk levels and one information level. DANGER Imminent danger Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. ► Instructions on avoiding the hazardous situation WARNING Possibly imminent danger Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Page 11
Safety Risks during installation DANGER ► Danger to life from electric shock Power supply packs that are not specified or are not approved will lead to severest injuries up to death. ► Make sure that the power supply pack meets the requirements for double isolation between mains input voltage and output voltage, in accordance with IEC 61010 and IEC 60950.

Safety Risks during operation WARNING ► Danger to life from electric shock in the event of a fault In the event of a fault, devices connected to the mains may be live. There is a danger to life from electric shock when making contact with live components. ►...
► Follow the installation instructions for this turbopump. ► Observe the requirements regarding stability and design of the counter flange. ► Use only original accessories or fixing material approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum for the installation. WARNING ► Danger to life from poisoning where toxic process media leak from damaged connections Sudden twisting of the turbopump in the event of a fault causes fittings to accelerate.
Safety Infringement of EU conformity due to modifications to the product ► The Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturer is no longer valid if the opera- tor changes the original product or installs additional equipment. ● Following installation into a system, the operator is required to check and re- evaluate as necessary the conformity of the overall system in the context of the relevant EU Directives before commissioning that system.
Safety 2.5 Proper use ► ► Use the turbopump only for generating vacuum. ► Use the turbopump only in combination with a suitable backing pump that can deliver up to the required maximum fore-vacuum pressure. ► Use the turbopump only in closed indoor areas. ►...

4. Always carry the turbopump with both hands. 5. Remove the protective cover only immediately prior to installation. 4.2 Storage ► Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport pack- aging. Storing the turbopump 1. Close all flange openings with the original protective caps.
Installation 5 Installation ► The installation of the turbopump and its fastening is of outstanding importance. The rotor of the turbo- pump revolves at very high speed. In practice it is not possible to exclude the risk of the rotor touching the stator (e.g.
5.2.3 Using a mesh screen ► Pfeiffer Vacuum centering rings with mesh screen in the high vacuum flange protect the turbopump against foreign matter from the chambers. The pumping speed of the turbopump reduces according to the passage guide values and the size of the high vacuum flange.
► Use centering rings with integrated mesh screen for ISO flanges. 5.2.4 Mounting orientations ► Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps from the HiPace series are suitable for use with dry compressing backing pumps for mounting in all orientations. ► When using oil-sealed backing pumps, avoid backflow from the fore-vacuum range.
► Establishing the high vacuum connection 1. Use only the approved mounting kit from Pfeiffer Vacuum for connection. 2. Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and undamaged. 3. Connect the flange with the components of the mounting kit according to the figure.
1. Observe the installation instructions in the operating instructions for the relevant accessory. 2. Note the existing configuration of existing connections and control lines. 3. Use the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit DCU 002, or a DCU with integrated power supply pack.
► Do not carry out your own conversions or modifications on the unit. ► Ensure the integration into an Emergency Off safety circuit. 5.5.1 Grounding the vacuum pump ► Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends connecting a suitable grounding cable to discharge applicative interfer- ences. Fig. 8: Example: Connecting the grounding cable ►...
Installation RS-485 Accessory (optional) (optional) DC out TPS / D C U Fig. 9: Connecting the electronic drive unit to a power supply pack ► Original power supply packs (e.g. TPS 110 or DCU 110) and connection cable are available for elec- tronic drive unit TC 110 voltage supply.
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.
Notes on operation without control unit 1. Only use the approved Pfeiffer Vacuum connection cables with bridges on the "X3" connection on the electronic drive unit. 2. Only switch on the power supply of the turbopump immediately before operation.
Operation 6.3 Switching on the turbopump ► WARNING ► Risk of burns on hot surfaces when using additional equipment for heating during operation The use of additional equipment for heating the vacuum pump or for optimizing the process gener- ates very high temperatures on surfaces that can be touched. There is a risk of burning. ►...
● If the error threshold for excess temperature is exceeded, the turbopump switches off immediate- 6.5 Switching off and venting ► Recommendation ► After the turbopump is switched off, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends venting the tur- bopump to avoid contamination due to particles streaming back from the fore-vac- uum area. 6.5.1 Switching off ►...
5. Change the operating fluid reservoir at least every 4 years. 6. Have Pfeiffer Vacuum Service replace the rotor bearing of the turbopump at least every 4 years. 7. Consult with Pfeiffer Vacuum Service about shorter maintenance intervals for extreme loads or im- pure processes.
► Never use sharp, metallic tools (e.g., tweezers). ► Remove sealing rings by hand only, or with wooden or plastic sticks if necessary. The HiPace 10 turbopump has 2 operating fluid reservoirs for lubricating the ball bearings on the ends of the rotor shaft.
Maintenance 3. Stand the turbopump upright. 4. Unscrew all 4 Allen head screws from the screw cap on this bearing side. 5. Remove the screw cap. 6. Remove the O-ring. 7. Remove the operating fluid reservoir from the bearing housing using the tweezers. 8.
Maintenance Assemble the operating fluid reservoir (2. bearing side) Ensure correct mounting direction of operating fluid reservoir. Felt washer with the two cams aligned in the mounting direction. 1. Insert the new operating fluid reservoir into the bearing housing using the tweezers. 2.

4. Open and edit the parameter [P:777]. 5. Set the parameter [P:777] to the required value of the nominal rotation speed in Hertz. Alternative: A Pfeiffer Vacuum SpeedConfigurator for the one-time immediate setting of parameter [P: 777] is included with the replacement units.
2. Clean the turbopump exterior with a lint-free cloth and a little isopropanol. 3. If necessary, arrange for Pfeiffer Vacuum Service to completely clean the turbopump. 4. Observe the total running time of the turbopump and if necessary, arrange for Pfeiffer Vac- uum Service to replace the bearing.
Decommissioning 8.3 Disposing of the vacuum pump ► WARNING ► Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work, there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub- stances causes environmental damage.
► Observe the requirements regarding stability and design of the counter flange. ► Use only original accessories or fixing material approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum for the installation. Should malfunctions occur, you can find information about potential causes and how to fix them here.
