Installation 4.2 Function Vacuum pumps of the UNO/DUO series are oil-sealed, single-/two-stage rotary vane vacuum pumps. The vacuum pumps are equipped with a high vacuum safety valve that vacuum seals the vacuum chamber and vents the pump at the same time when the pump is at standstill.
NOTICE Use approved operating fluids only! The use of operating fluids that have not been approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum shall result in a limited warranty. In such cases, it is not possible to guarantee that product-specific performance data will be achieved.
Installation WARNING Toxic vapours! Danger of poisoning when igniting and heating synthetic operating fluids (e.g. F4/F5) above 300°C. Observe the application instructions. Do not allow operating fluid to make contact with tobacco products; observe safety precautions when handling chemicals. 5.3 Connecting the vacuum side ...
Installation Lay piping from the pump sloping downward so that no condensate can flow back into the pump; otherwise fit a condensate separator. – If an air trap is created in the system, then a device for draining condensation water must be provided at the lowest point.

Installation Changing the voltage range Only valid for pumps with reversible motor: The mains voltage must be determined on-site each time before the pump is installed or moved to a different location. Disconnect the pump from the power supply. ...
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Before switching on the pump Check the operating fluid level in the sight glass. Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the mains volt- age and frequency values. Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure 150 kPa absolute).

Maintenance 6.4 Switching off the pump The pump can be switched off in any pressure range. Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥ 250 hPa, then the valve clos- es automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.

Certain repair and overhaul work should only be performed by Pfeiffer Vacuum Service Checklist for inspec- (PV). Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims if the required tion, maintenance intervals for inspection, maintenance, or overhaul are exceeded or inspection, mainte- and overhaul nance, repair or overhaul procedures are not performed properly.
Depending on the applications, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the ex- act service life of the operating fluid during the first year of operation. The replacement interval may vary from the guide value specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum depending on the thermal and chemical loads, and the accumulation of suspended par- ticles and condensation in the operating fluid.

Fill up with operating fluid and check the filling level (see p. 9, chap. 5.2). Request safety data sheets for operating fluids and lubricants from Pfeiffer Vacuum or download them from the Internet. Dispose of operating fluid according to the local regulations.
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. 8.3 Disposal Products or parts thereof (mechanical and electrical components, operating fluids, etc.) may cause environmental burden.
