The gas ballast system of the scroll pump is suitable for being connected to an external gas supply. Couplings for the G 1/8" connection from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories range are available for this purpose.
Installation Fig. 8: Connecting the gas ballast external supply 1 Sinter filter Gas ballast connection opening 2 Gas ballast valve External gas supply line 3 Example of connecting coupling External gas supply Required tools ● Wrench, WAF 13 ● Calibrated torque wrench (tightening factor ≤ 1.6) Connecting the gas supply 1.
The electronic drive unit starts together with the connection of the voltage supply. Establishing the mains supply 1. Order a corresponding mains connection cable from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories range. 2. Always ensure a secure connection to the earthed conductor (PE).
The 15-pin sub-D connection with the "remote" designation offers the possibility to operate the electron- ic drive unit via remote control. The following specifications are the factory settings for the electronic drive unit. You can configure them with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set. ► Use shielded plugs and cables.
6.2.2 Outputs The digital outputs at the "remote" connection have a maximum load limit of 24 V/50 mA per output. You can configure all listed outputs with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set via the RS-485 interface (description relates to factory settings).
6.2.3 RS-485 Pin 13 and pin 14 You can connect a Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit (DCU or HPU) or an external PC via pin 13 and pin 14 on the D-sub connection of the electronic drive unit. 6.3 Connection options Fig.

The basic parameter set is set in the electronic drive unit ex-factory. For controlling con- nected external components (e.g. vacuum measuring instruments), additional parameters (extended parameter set) are available in the corresponding Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panels. ● Refer to the corresponding operating instructions of the respective components.
Important settings and function-related variables are programmed ex factory as parameters in the vac- uum pump electronic drive unit. 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.
The control is carried out by means of "PLC level". Operation with peripheral devices DCU, HPU or PC 1. When handling the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit, observe the associated operating in- structions: – "DCU" operating instructions available from the Download Center.
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 8.5.2 Standby mode Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode during process and production stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation speed of the vacuum pump. The factory setting is 50 % of the nominal rotation speed.
Operation Setting the stand-by rotation speed The vacuum pump has a variable working range from 40 to 100% of the nominal rotation speed. 1. Set the parameter [P:717] to the required value in %. 2. Set the parameter [P:002] to "1". 3.
Operation 8.6 Pressure regulation operation Pressure regulation operation is only possible with the pressure sensor connected. The pressure sensor measures the intake pressure. The electronic drive unit varies the rotation speed of the vacuum pump so that the target pressure is adjusted. If the target pressure cannot be reached under the specified conditions (e.g.
8.8 Operating mode display via LED LEDs on the electronic drive unit show the basic operating states of the vacuum pump. A differentiated error and warning display is only possible for operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit or a PC.
1. Switch the running vacuum pump off by pressing the button once. 2. Switch the voltage supply off. Alternative: Switching off via the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter ► Set the parameter [P:010] to the value "0". Alternative: Switching off via "remote” interface ►...
► Disconnect the mains cable from the vacuum pump. NOTICE Danger of property damage from improper maintenance Unprofessional work on the vacuum pump will lead to damage for which Pfeiffer Vacuum accepts no liability. ► We recommend taking advantage of our service training offering.
We recommend that Pfeiffer Vacuum Service (PV) carry out maintenance work at level 3. Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims if maintenance work is not carried out properly. This also applies wherever parts other than original spare parts are used.
