Operation of acces- sories Installation and Operation of Accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps can be equipped with various adapted accessories. Installation, operation and maintenance of connected devices are described in detail in the operat- ing instructions of the single devices. Refer to chapter "Accessories" for information about order numbers of components.

Safe operation after installation is the responsibility of the operator. Do not independently modify or change the pump and electrical equipment. Make sure that the system is integrated in an emergency off safety circuit. Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum for special requirements. Risk of contamination NOTICE Protect vacuum components against contamination Dirt and damages affect the function of the calibration system.

> 500 hPa (relative pressure). Install a safety valve to the vacuum chamber. Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for selecting an appropriate safety valve. NOTICE Damage to vacuum gauges by venting Some vacuum gauges must be switched off before venting them to atmospheric pres- sure to prevent damage.
Safety NOTICE Risk of excessive inlet pressure at the turbo pump The turbo pump can be damaged by a high rate of pressure rise during venting. When the turbo pump is running, do the following: Do not disconnect the vacuum gauges or blank flanges from the vacuum chamber. ...
– International, national und local valid standards and directives – Additional regulations related to the unit itself Only use original parts or parts which have been approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum. Keep these operating instructions available at the place of installation.
Only do the work with the help of the complete operating instructions and the further applicable documents. If you have any questions regarding operation or maintenance of the unit, which are not answered in these operating instructions, please contact the Pfeiffer Vacuum field service.
Transport and storage Transport and storage Transport WARNING Danger from falling parts If you transport the unit by hand, parts can fall or slip and can thus cause danger. Always transport the unit with 2 persons two-handed. Wear safety shoes with toe protection according to EN 347. NOTICE Damage due to transport The unit can be damaged during transport in an unsuitable packing.

Installation The centrally positioned GAV (12) on the vacuum chamber is for central manual gas inlet regulation. The Pirani/cold cathode transmitter (1) on the vacuum chamber controls the calibration system. The vacuum chamber can be closed off from the turbo pump with the manual butterfly valve.
● Pfeiffer Vacuum accessory devices can be connected to the electronic drive unit TC 110 only by using the appropriate connection cable or adapter. ● Use Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control devices or a PC to configure the desired ac- cessory output via RS-485.
You must do a careful consideration of the required accuracy of the UUC in order to choose the appropriate reference gauge. In general, capacitance diaphragm gauges (Pfeiffer Vacuum ActiveLine types CMR, CCR) offer the highest accuracy as long as you use these gauges in the pressure decade below full scale.
Operation Requirements for a calibration Before you can start a calibration, you must fulfil the the following 5 requirements: Base pressure < calibration pressure For a calibration according to ISO 3567 the base pressure p of the calibration system must be lower than the lowest calibration pressure p The following applies: p is lower than p divided by 10 (p...
Operation Preparation of the calibration system Before you can connect vacuum gauges, the calibration system must be switched off, Connection / ex- this means: change of vacuum gauges ● The calibration system is in starting position (see p. 26, chap. 6.7) Proceed as follows to connect vacuum gauges: ...
Starting the calibration system Parameter set and Pfeiffer Vacuum display control unit Pfeiffer Vacuum display control units DCU show the basic parameter set by default. Fur- thermore the DCU contains parameters, which are not positioned in the electronic drive unit.
Prior to a calibration you must perform a zero adjustment <ZERO> of all UUC and the reference gauge(s). After the zero adjustment of a UUC with analog output (e.g. Pfeiffer Vacuum ActiveLine gauges), you must also adjust the zero of the DCU 110 (offset correction).

Operation Read the pressure values of the UUC and the reference gauge as soon as the pres- sure has stabilized. – For best results: Read the values of the UUC and the reference gauge simultane- ously. For UUC with logarithmic output characteristics (e.g. Pirani, hot and cold cathode gauges): –...
Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for selecting an appropriate safety valve. Parameter set and Pfeiffer Vacuum display control unit Pfeiffer Vacuum display control units DCU show the basic parameter set by default. Fur- thermore the DCU contains parameters, which are not positioned in the electronic drive unit.
Operation Interpretation of the data After you have completed the calibration process, you must compare the measured val- ues with the accepted tolerances of the vacuum gauges (UUC) for each pressure range. Refer to the operating instructions of the vacuum gauges (UUC) for the tolerances. It is helpful to create a spreadsheet to display the measured pressure data and the cal- culated deviations automatically in a diagram.
Clean the pumping station externally with a lint-free cloth cloth and a little industrial alcohol. Shorter maintenance intervals are required for extreme loads or unclean processes. Clarify with Pfeiffer Vacuum service. For all other cleaning, maintenance, or repair work, contact your Pfeiffer Vacuum ser- vice point.
Clean the pumping station externally with a lint-free cloth cloth and a little industrial alcohol. If necessary, arrange for Pfeiffer Vacuum Service to clean the pumping station com- pletely. If necessary, arrange maintenance of the pumping components by Pfeiffer Vacuum Service.
