Installation Required tool ● Slot screwdriver Accessories required ● Mains cable Changing the voltage range 1. The mains voltage must be determined on-site each time before the vacuum pump is installed or moved to a different location. 2. Disconnect the vacuum pump from the mains. 3.
► Install suitable touch protection if the vacuum pump is unrestrictedly accessible. ► Allow the vacuum pump to cool down before carrying out any work. ► Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for suitable touch protection in system solutions. NOTICE Vacuum pump damage caused by overpressure Mixing up the connections causes overpressure overload.
Operation Prerequisite ● Required mains connection established Switching on the vacuum pump 1. If required, switch the vacuum pump on in each pressure range at the mains switch. 2. Allow the vacuum pump to warm up prior to process start, with the vacuum connection closed. The vacuum pump achieves the specified throughput and final pressure values once the operating tem- perature has been reached.

Operation Installing the flushing gas connection Use of the optional flushing gas connection improves expulsion of condensate, and the pump attains the specified final vacuum again more quickly. 1. Remove cap from gas ballast valve. 2. Push flushing gas connection over gas ballast valve. 3.
► Do not use any alcohol or other cleaning agents to clean the diaphragms and valves. 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 carry out maintenance work at level 2. If the specified intervals are exceeded, or if maintenance work is carried out improperly, no war- ranty or liability claims are accepted on the part of Pfeiffer Vacuum. This also applies wher- ever parts other than original spare parts are used.
