Safety icons This manual and the pump warnings include safety icons to assist in understanding points to be followed. The meanings of these icons are as described below. Danger There is a very real danger of death or serious injury to the operator if the equipment is used incorrectly.
Safety cautions Danger Ensure that only dry air or dry nitrogen enters this pump. Danger If the pump has been used to exhaust toxic gases, the pump itself, and the vacuum pump oil (pump oil) will also be toxic. Be aware of this when performing maintenance. Warning Ensure that this pump is dismantled and repaired only by a repair technician.

Incorrect wiring work may result in fire. Caution If the pump ceases to operate, or a fault occurs, switch the main power supply off immediately to prevent any accidents, and contact your dealer or Ulvac, for inspection and repair. Attention Do not operate the pump when it doesn’t have any pump oil in it.
(3) Check that no damage has occurred in transit. (4) Check that no nuts or bolts have become loose in transit. Have any nuts come off? Contact your dealer or Ulvac if a problem has occurred. 0.4.2 Surroundings during storage, mounting, and operation This pump is designed with very tight tolerances, and the following conditions must therefore be satisfied during storage, mounting, and operation.
Attention The pump will be damaged if it is subjected to shock it is overturned. Attention Always use the pump indoors. Attention Pump oil must be put in the pump and the inlet port sealed if storing it unused for a long period of time.
1.Using the pump safely Dangers unique to the pump, and safety measures Read this section thoroughly before operating or inspecting the pump. Understand the potential dangers and methods of avoiding these dangers, before commencing operation. 1.1.1 Leakage of dangerous gases and substances DANGER Primary causes Avoidance and actions to be taken...
1.1.3 Bursting Warning Primary causes Avoidance and actions to be taken Increased internal pressure, with Internal pressure limit is 0.03 MPa (gauge ⇒ pressure). consequent bursting of the pump. If measurement of the pump exhaust pressure shows a value of 0.03 MPa (gauge pressure), check and remove obstructions to the passage of gas in the exhaust.

3.Installation Installation Select a location with as little dust and humidity as possible for the installation, and ensure that the pump is installed level. Select a location that will enable installation, removal, inspection, and cleaning operations. Pay attention to the ambient temperature, especially when installing the pump inside another device.
Establishing an exhaust As this pump is shipped with the correct amount of pump oil inside, ensure that it is transported with the exhaust sealed with an oil cap. Remove this oil cap before starting the pump, and fit either a standard exhaust port or an oil mist trap. (Refer to Fig.
Vacuum piping (1) Remove any powder, dust, or rust from the internal walls of the vacuum chamber, piping, and vacuum valve etc. before connection to the pump. Attention The metal mesh in the inlrt port prevents introduction of foreign matter into the pump. Do not remove it during use.
Wiring (1) Check that the power supply voltage and the voltage that the motor uses are the same. (2) This pump rotates clockwise as seen from the front of the pump (level gauge side). (3) An overload protection device (automatic-recovery type thermal protector) is built-in to prevent damage to the motor from over current.

WARNING Commence wiring work only after removing the power plug or turning it off. Do not carry out wiring work while the wiring is live under any circumstances. Working under such conditions may result in electric shock. Caution Ensure that all wiring work is performed in accordance with electrical equipment standards and internal wiring regulations.
Fluctuations in the power supply voltage and frequency Standard: Rotating electric machine general rules, JIS C 4034-1:1999, JEC-2137-2000. There is no problem to main parts when operated continuously under the voltage and frequency fluctuations in area A, and no problem to main parts when operated under the voltage and frequency fluctuations in area B.
4.Operation Safety cautions WARNING The pump is not pressure-resistant, and has an internal pressure limit of 0.03 MPa (gauge pressure). Do not operate the pump with the exhaust blocked, or with the passage of gas on the exhaust side obstructed. Under these conditions, the pump pressure increases, and this may cause it to burst, oil to spray out of the oil level gauge, or the motor to become overloaded.
If the oil temperature exceeds this range, it may indicate that something is wrong with the pump, so please inspect the pump or contact Ulvac. Operating when it is cold The pump may rotate slowly for several minutes and be difficult to start when starting for the first time when used when the ambient temperature is low.
Stopping Close the vacuum valve (A), and quickly open the leak valve (B), and turn the pump switch off. After the intake side has returned to atmospheric pressure, close leak valve (B), and seal the intake side. (Refer to Fig. 4.) Caution Failure to do so may result in burns.
If the thermal protector is caused to operate, turn the switch off and contact Ulvac. The motor is extremely hot at this time. Do not touch it. (Refer to “6.4 Trouble checklist”.) Caution Failure to do so may result in burns. The pump surfaces become hot (40-80ºC). After stopping, do not touch the motor or pump until they have cooled.
Caution The vacuum pump becomes hot (40-80ºC) during operation. Only touch the valve when operating the gas ballast valve. Always close the gas ballast valve before starting the pump. ATTENTION If the gas ballast valve is left open when condensed gases are not being exhausted from the pump, not only may pump oil be sprayed around and the power be reduced, but the ultimate pressure will also be increased.
4.10 Magnetic coupling This pump uses a magnetic coupling to transfer the motor power to the pump body without touching it. Caution In the following cases the magnetic power of the magnetic coupling which transfers the motor power may weaken. - When starting the pump after it has been stopped for a long time.
5.Pump performance Ultimate pressure The “ultimate pressure” referred to in catalogs and this instruction manual means “the lowest pressure attainable when the pump is operated without any gas being introduced through the intake (no-load operation)”. We measure this with a Pirani vacuum gauge at the intake while using the specified pump oil.
6.Maintenance, inspection and repair Maintenance Check the following at least once every three days when using the pump. (1) Check that the pump oil amount is within the red circle on the oil level gauge. (2) Check that the pump oil is not discolored. (3) Check that there are no abnormal noises.
Page 31
(3) Pump oil amount inspection Add the specified pump oil as necessary to ensure that the pump oil level is always within the red circle on the oil level gauge during operation. (4) Oil leak inspection If oil leaks from the drain plug seal, replace the seal. The necessary o-rings and seals are kept in stock at the service departments listed at the end of this manual.

Danger When requesting Ulvac’s service division for disassembly or repair, always note the gases used, and complete the check list (“Conditions of Use Check Sheet”) at the end of this manual. If the pump has been used to exhaust toxic gases, the pump itself, and the pump oil will also be toxic.
“1.2 Safety data sheet (SDS)”. Attention Do not use any pump oils other that those specified by Ulvac. Using other oils may cause the pump performance to be reduced and its lifetime to be shortened.
Page 34
< Pump oil change procedure > (1) Open the pump inlet port to the room air and operate the pump for five seconds. This will effectively exhaust any oil remaining in the pump. (2) Remove the standard exhaust port, then remove the drain plug, and empty the oil from the pump.
