Installation and operation of accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps can be equipped with a series of adapted accessories. The in- stallation, operation and maintenance of connected devices are described in detail in the operating instructions of the individual components.
Safety ● Do not loosen any plug connection during operations. ● Wait for the rotor to reach standstill before peforming work on the high vacuum flange. ● Keep leads and cables well away from hot surfaces (> 70 °C). ● Never fill or operate turbopump with cleaning agent. ●...
Safety ● The vacuum pump may only be used to generate a vacuum. ● Only operate the turbopump with an approved backing pump. Improper use Improper use will cause all claims for liability and warranties to be forfeited. Improper use is defined as usage for purposes deviating from those mentioned above, especially: ●...
Transport and storage Transport and storage Transport Reuse the transport container of the vacuum pump. – Transport or ship vacuum pumps in the original packing preferably. Only remove the protective covers from the high vacuum and the fore-vacuum side immediately before connection.

Product description Function The turbopump HiPace 800 forms a complete unit together with the electronic drive unit TC 400. For the voltage supply only Pfeiffer Vacuum power supplies may be used (e.g.TPS or DCU). remote Fig. 2: View of HiPace 800 with TC 400...
Product description Range of application The pump HiPace 800 must be installed and operated under the following ambient con- ditions: Installation location weather protected (indoors) Protection category IP 54 Protection class Temperature +5 °C to +35 °C with air cooling +5 °C to +40 °C with water cooling...
Only use approved original parts from Pfeiffer Vacuum (Accessories) for the installa- tion. Installation and operation of accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps can be equipped with a series of adapted accessories. The in- stallation, operation and maintenance of connected devices are described in detail in the operating instructions of the individual components.
5.2.2 Use of a splinter shield or protection screen Pfeiffer Vacuum centering rings with splinter shield or protection screen in the high vac- uum flange protect the turbopump against foreign bodies coming from the chamber. Thus, the pumping speed of the pump is reduced.

Installation To avoid contamination via the fore-vacuum line when using oil-sealed backing pumps the fore-vacuum flange should always point vertically downward (± 25°). 25° max Fig. 4: Recommended orientation of the fore-vacuum flange The maximum axial loading capacity of the high vacuum flange is 1000 N (equals 100 kg).
Twisting or tearing-off is possible in case the rotor is suddenly blocked due to the fas- tening of pumps on a vacuum chamber with different flange variants. Use only the correct mounting kit from Pfeiffer Vacuum. Pfeiffer Vacuum will not accept any liability for all damages resulting from impermis- sible fastening. NOTICE...

To connect two units to one accessory connection, use the appropriate Y-Connector from the Pfeiffer Vacuum range of accessories. Connect the adapter to the appropriate red-coded connection on the TC 400. Settings can be made via the interfaces of the TC 400 (remote, RS-485, Profibus or...
Default for air cooling is "accessory A1". 5.7.2 Venting valve The Pfeiffer Vacuum venting valve is used for automatic venting in case of shut-down or power failure. The permissible connection pressure is max. 1500 hPa absolute. Fig. 8:...
● When operating the pump with more than 50 % of the maximum gas throughput, seal- ing gas must be used to ensure rotor cooling. ● The sealing gas flow rate amounts 12-15 sccm for the HiPace 800. Sealing gas supply with control valve Fig.
Page 25
Installation ● When using a casing heating and a water cooling unit the temperature of the connect- ed flange of the vacuum chamber must not exceed 120 °C. ● The maximum permissible rotor temperature for the turbopump is 90 °C. If high tem- peratures arise for process reasons, the radiated heat input must not exceed 4.2 W.
5.7.5 Water cooling The turbopumps HiPace 800 with TC 400 have water cooling as standard equipment. ● In case of increased backing pressure (> 0.1 hPa) and/or operation with high gas throughputs, either air or water cooling may be used.
Pumping of gases with a higher molecular mass in the wrong gas mode can lead to de- struction of the pump. Ensure the gas mode is correctly set. Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum before using gases with a greater molecular mass (> 80). Operation modes The following operation modes are available: ●...
Consider the following manuals for the operation via remote control: ● Operating instructions "Electronic drive unit TC 400" 6.3.3 Operation with DCU or HPU Consider the following manuals for the operation via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and con- trol units: ● Operating instructions "DCU" ● Operating instructions "HPU"...
– The valve cross section for the venting rate of 15 hPa/s must be adapted to the size of the vacuum chamber. – For small vacuum chambers, use the Pfeiffer Vacuum venting valve. Then vent with an additional venting valve of any desired size.
Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work. NOTICE Disclaimer of liability Pfeiffer Vacuum accepts no liability for personal injury or material damage, losses or op- erating malfunctions due to improperly performed maintenance. The liability and war- ranty entitlement expires.

Maintenance / replacement Replacing the electronic drive unit NOTICE Damages to the pump and drive Even after the mains power is switched off, the subsequently running pump delivers electric power to the electronic drive unit. There is a danger of electric body contact by premature separating the pump from the electronic drive unit.
Check turbopump for contamination and moisture. Clean the turbopump externally with a lint-free cloth and little industrial alcohol. If necessary, have Pfeiffer Vacuum Service clean the turbopump completely. If necessary, have the bearings replaced. Take into account the total running time.
Reset via pin 13 on the "REMOTE" connection Differentiated malfunction display is possible via RS-485 Contact the Pfeiffer Vacuum Service If no Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit is available, please contact the Pfeiffer Vacuum Ser- vice.
The following steps are necessary to ensure a fast, smooth servicing process: Download the forms "Service Request" and "Declaration on Contamination". Fill out the "Service Request" form and send it by fax or e-mail to your Pfeiffer Vacuum service address.
