All variables of the vacuum pump relevant for the function are stored as parameters in the electronic drive unit. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. Parameters can be used via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panels or via RS-485 with the Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol. Conventions Parameters are printed in bold as three-digit numbers in square brackets.
Parameter set Display Designations Functions Data Unit min. max. type cess fault type stored Cfg DO1 Output DO1 con- Settings, see [P:019] figuration SpdSet- Speed actuator 0 = off Mode operation 1 = on ValveMode Flushing gas 0 = auto configuration (if 1 = closed present)
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. ● Refer to the corresponding operating instructions of the respective components.
Important settings and function-related variables are factory-programmed into the vacuum pump elec- tronic drive unit as parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. Parameter- driven operation and control is supported via Pfeiffer Vacuum displays and control units, or externally via RS-485 using Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol.
► Operate the vacuum pump with gas ballast, i.e. with the gas ballast valve open. 8.4 Configuring the connections with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set The electronic drive unit is pre-configured with the factory default basic functions and is ready for opera- tion.
● Operation via an external control unit ● Operation via RS-485 and Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit or PC The connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel permits the controlling of the vacuum pump via the parameters fixed in the electronic drive unit.
4. Set the parameter [P:030] to the desired value. 5. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:309] or [P:398]). 8.5.2 Stand-by operation Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends stand-by operation for the vacuum pump during breaks in processes or production. ● The factory setting is 66.7 % of the nominal speed.
► Remove the cause of the fault. ► Switch the vacuum pump off and back on. As an alternative, acknowledge the malfunction via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit ► Set the parameter [P:010] to the value "0/1". ► Reset the error message with parameter [P:009] or by pressing the button on the DCU.
► 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.
Maintenance 9.3 Change the diaphragms and valves NOTICE Property damage from incorrect installation Change in dead volume due to incorrect installation of the original spacer disks impairs the final vac- uum or leads to bearing damage. ► During disassembly, keep the existing spacer disks separate per installation location. ►...
Maintenance 9.3.2 Cleaning and replacing the diaphragms and valves Prerequisite ● Diaphragm and valves removed Required spare parts ● Overhaul kit Required consumables ● Clean, dry cloth ● Isopropanol Procedure 1. Clean diaphragms and valves with a clean, dry cloth. – Do not use isopropanol or other cleaning agents to clean diaphragms and valves. 2.
Decommissioning 10 Decommissioning Before shutting down the vacuum pump, observe the following instructions to adequately protect the in- terior of the vacuum pump (suction chamber) from corrosion: Procedure for temporary vacuum pump shutdowns 1. Allow the vacuum pump to run on for 5 to 10 minutes with the vacuum connection open to allow any condensate that may be present to be removed from the vacuum pump.
– Fluoroelastomers (FKM) – Potentially contaminated components that come into contact with media 11.2 Dispose of diaphragm pumps Pfeiffer Vacuum diaphragm pumps contain materials that you must recycle. 1. Disconnect the electronic drive unit. 2. Dismantle the motor. 3. Decontaminate the components that come into contact with process gases.
► Wear personal protective equipment if necessary. 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.
Warnings (* Warning F –––– *) do not cause the vacuum pump to be switched off. Handle malfunction messages 1. Read out error codes via Pfeiffer display and control units or a PC. 2. Remove the cause of the malfunction.
