Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Structure The calibration system comprises a turbopump station HiCube 80 Eco as its main component and a fit- ted vacuum chamber. Depending on the respective configuration, several flange connections with vari- ous nominal diameters for vacuum gauges are featured on the top of the vacuum chamber. These flange connections are connected with blank flanges at the factory.
Product description Fig. 3: Vacuum diagram 1 Dosing valve Turbopump 2 Flange connections for vacuum gauges Backing pump 3 Vacuum chamber Display and control unit 4 Butterfly valve Pirani/cold cathode transmitter 3.2 Function The dosing valve mounted centrally on the vacuum chamber provides central, manual gas intake regu- lation, and the Pirani/cold cathode gauge mounted on the vacuum chamber is a controller for the cali- bration system.

Installation Nitrogen reduces the incorporation (absorption) of water in the vacuum system. Reduced incorporation of water in the vacuum system facilitates shorter pumping times. Prerequisites ● Calibration system switched off Required gas ● Nitrogen (N , purity 99.9% or higher) Recommendations for use of nitrogen ►...
► If necessary, wear protective gloves in accordance with standard EN 420. Additional parameter in the control panel The basic parameter set is set in the electronic drive unit ex-factory. For controlling con- nected external components (e.g. vacuum measuring instruments), additional parameters (extended parameter set) are available in the corresponding Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panels.
Operation 3. Perform a zero point adjustment <ZERO> for all UUC and reference gauges. 4. Perform an offset correction for the respective display and control units. 6.3 Calibrating vacuum measuring instruments NOTICE Property damage as a result of incorrect handling during calibration Improper handling during calibration causes damage to vacuum gauges or the calibration system.

Operation Fig. 5: Example of a calibration report, page 2 Procedure 1. Obtain the tolerances from the operating instructions of the vacuum gauges (UUC). 2. Compare the measured values with the permissible tolerances of the vacuum gauges for each pressure range after performing the calibration measurement. 3.
Maintenance 7 Maintenance 7.1 General maintenance information WARNING Danger to life from electric shock during maintenance and service work The device is only completely de-energized when the mains plug has been disconnected and the tur- bopump is at a standstill. There is a danger to life from electric shock when making contact with live components.
