Danger from the turbopump being ripped off
If the rotor is suddenly blocked, torques of up to 4200 Nm could occur, which could
cause the turbopump to be ripped off if it is not properly affixed. The energy that this
would release could throw the entire pump or pieces from its interior through the room.
That would cause severe, possibly fatal, injuries as well as serious property damage.
 Carefully follow the installation instructions in this handbook.
 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.
 For information on order numbers of components, see "Accessories".
 Use original accessory parts only.
When installing the pump, observe the following conditions:
● the ambient conditions specified for the range of application
● 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.
● It is not allowed to operate the device in systems where impact-like stresses and vi-
brations or periodically forces occur.
 Ensure sufficient cooling for the turbopump.
 Where magnetic fields > 6 mT are involved, a suitable shielding must be used. Check
installation location and consult Pfeiffer Vacuum if needed!
 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.
Install suitable screening sheets, if necessary (design information on request).
● Ensure the greatest possible cleanliness when installing any high vacuum parts. Un-
clean components prolong the pump-down time.
● All flange components must be grease-free, dust-free and dry at installation.
● The operating fluid reservoir is already installed and filled for the turbopump HiPace
800.
