4. When nitrogen starts flowing from the exhaust, seal it with the accessories provided. 5. Disconnect the nitrogen supply from the connector. Never store a pump that has been used! Return it to the service center (see chapter “Service solu- tions by Pfeiffer Vacuum”, page 43). 17/56...
● 2 male/female NPT adapters 4.1.2 Product overview Based on the multi-stage Roots pump technology, the ACP 120G and ACG 600G models meet appli- cation requirements for a clean and oil-free vacuum, mainly in R&D and industry. They include a func- tional block pump and a Roots pump on certain models.
NOTICE The product may be damaged if an unauthorized operating fluid is used The pumps are tested at the factory using Pfeiffer Vacuum oil. Using any other oil may adversely af- fect the pump and its performance. ► It is essential that the oil recommended by the manufacturer is used.
► Wear protective gear such as gloves, glasses and a mask when handling the oil. Safety data sheets You can obtain the safety data sheets for operating fluids from Pfeiffer Vacuum on request, or from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center.
Installation NOTICE The water cooling circuit may be damaged if an unregulated mains supply is used Using unregulated mains water can lead to water circuit clogging due to limescale deposition. This may necessitate complete cleaning and overhaul of the water cooling circuit. Furthermore, the presence of micro-organisms such as algae and biological substances such as bacteria can lead to cooling problems in the pump.

Installation WARNING Risk of injury in case of contact with pressurized nitrogen The product uses pressurized nitrogen as a flushing gas. Non-compliant installations or installations not done to professional standards may endanger the user’s life. ► Install a manual valve on the circuit at a distance of 3 m from the product, so that the nitrogen supply can be locked out.
Installation 5.5 Electrical connection WARNING Risk of electric shock due to non-compliant electrical installations This product uses mains voltage for its power supply. Non-compliant electrical installations or installa- tions not done to professional standards may endanger the user’s life. ► Only qualified technicians trained in the relevant electrical safety and EMC regulations are au- thorized to work on the electrical installation.
Installation 5.5.1 Customer electrical installation protection measures Circuit breaker protection The power circuit used to supply the pump must be fitted with a breaker complying with the IEC 60947-2 curve D standard whose short circuit cut-off capacity is at least 10 kA. This protection device should be in close proximity to the pump (no further than 7 m away) and in line of sight of the product.
Installation Thermal safety connection 100 °C 120 °C 150 °C 1. Open the motor terminal box. 2. Pass the cable (customer supply) through the stuffing-box and wire the thermal safeties as shown. 3. Supply these NC contacts with a voltage of 250 V max. and a current of 0.5 A max. The ACG 600G pump is equipped with 2 motors.
Installation The pump is equipped with a three-phase motor with 6 wires that are connected as indicated below. The motor is star wired when it leaves the factory. In case of doubt, only the plate in the terminal box should be used as a reference. In the ACG 600G, there are two motors. If motor wiring needs to be changed, proceed as follows: 1.
Installation 1st step: Check the FB direction of rotation 1. Always check before starting the pump that the oil levels in the housings are at the mid-point of sight glasses. – This check should be done when the pump is stopped. 2.
Installation WARNING Risk of crushing and/or cutting in case of contact with moving parts The pump inlet flange is large enough for body parts (fingers or hands) to the inserted into it, present- ing a risk of crushing due to contact with moving parts. The inlet and exhaust ports should be sealed with blanking plates before connection.
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Preliminary precautions for use WARNING Risk of poisoning when process gases are present in the atmosphere The manufacturer has no control over the types of gases used with the pump. Process gases are of- ten toxic, flammable, corrosive, explosive and/or otherwise reactive. There is a risk of serious or fatal injury if these gases are allowed to escape freely into the atmosphere.
Advanced settings 7 Advanced settings This chapter describes the available functions and how they work. This chapter helps the user and/or the integrator to configure the pump parameters according to the requirements during the process. Management of warnings, alarms The management of warnings and alarms as defined in this manual must allow the monitor- ing of the operation of the pump according to the following principle: ●...
Advanced settings You are strongly advised not to stop the purge when the pump is running! Nitrogen flow fault indication It is advisable to install an alert system on the nitrogen circuit to indicate a flow malfunction. If the nitro- gen flow rate is below the set threshold, the system triggers an alert and/or an alarm when the delay has elapsed.
Advanced settings Roots Water IN Water OUT Exh. Fig. 10: Description of the water circuit 1 Water solenoid valve (supplied by the customer) Assembling recommendation ► Equip the cooling circuit with a regulation valve. 7.3 Monitoring of the exhaust pressure The monitoring of the exhaust pressure allows to check the level of clogging in the exhaust line. The pump is not equipped with a exhaust pressure monitoring device.
