3 Product description 3.1 Function The diaphragm pump of the MVP 030-3 DC series is a dry compressing vacuum pump with 3 pumping stages. The vacuum pump is a positive displacement pump with a periodic change in suction chamber size, produced by the movement of the diaphragm. The gas flow causes the valves to open and close automatically.

NOTICE Property damage from contaminated gases Pumping gases that contain contamination damages the vacuum pump. ► Use suitable filters or separators from the Pfeiffer Vacuum range of accessories, to protect the vacuum pump. Installation and operation of accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum offers a series of special, compatible accessories for its diaphragm pumps.
► Install a suitable exhaust line. ► Wear hearing protection. Condensate separator Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends installing a condensate separator, with condensate drain at the lowest point of the exhaust line. Procedure 1. Check the installed silencer for free passage.
Installation 5.4 Establishing electric connection DANGER Danger to life from electric shock Power supply packs that are not specified or are not approved will lead to severe injury to death. ► Make sure that the power supply pack meets the requirements for double isolation between mains input voltage and output voltage, in accordance with IEC 61010-1 IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1.

Operation 8 Operation 8.1 Commissioning vacuum pump WARNING Danger of poisoning due to toxic process media escaping from the exhaust pipe During operation with no exhaust line, the vacuum pump allows exhaust gases and vapors to escape freely into the air. There is a risk of injury and fatality due to poisoning in processes with toxic process media.
● Operation via an external control unit ● Operation via RS-485 and Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit or PC The connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit permits the controlling of the vacuum pump via the pa- rameters fixed in the electronic drive unit.
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 8.4.2 Standby mode Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for during process and production stops. With active stand-by mode, the electronic drive unit reduces the speed of the vacuum pump in the range of 30 to 100% of the nominal speed.
Operation Setting the related parameters 1. Set the parameter [P:002] to "0". 2. Set the parameter [P:026] to "0". 3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308]). 8.5 Pumping condensable vapors Vapors or moisture from pumped media impair the throughput after condensation in the vacuum pump. Using the optional flushing gas nozzle improves the discharge of condensate, and the pump achieves the specified final vacuum more quickly.
Operation 8.6 Operation monitoring 8.6.1 Operating mode display via LED The LED on the electronic drive unit indicates the basic operating conditions. A differentiated error and warning display is only possible for operation with a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit. Indicator Activity Meaning None ●...
