The basic parameter set is set in the electronic drive unit ex-factory. For controlling con- nected external components (e.g. vacuum measuring equipment), additional parameters (extended parameter set) are available in the corresponding Pfeiffer Vacuum control units. ● Refer to the corresponding operating instructions of the respective components.
Operation 7 Operation 7.1 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. For individual requirements, you can configure most connections for the electronic drive unit with the parameter set.
● The use of other accessories for turbopumps is possible and requires settings in the configuration of the electronic drive unit. ● The desired accessory output is configured via RS-485 using Pfeiffer Vacuum control units or a PC. ● For detailed information see the “Electronic drive unit TC 400” or “Electronic drive unit TC 700”...

► Make sure that the gas mode is set correctly by [P:027] in the electronic drive unit. ► Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum before you use gases with higher molecular masses (> 80). High gas throughput and high rotation speed lead to strong friction heating of the rotor. To avoid over- heating, power to rotation speed characteristics are implemented in the electronic drive unit.
Operation 7.2.3 Run-up time The turbopump run-up is time-monitored ex-factory. There are various causes of prolonged run-up times, for example: ● Excessive gas throughput ● Leak in system ● Setpoint of the run-up time too low Set parameter [P:700] 1. Where applicable, eliminate any external and application-related causes. 2.
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 7.2.6 Standby Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for the turbopump during process and production stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation speed of the turbo pump.
Fluctuations in the power consumption of idling turbopumps and varying fore-vac- uum pressures of the backing pumps require individual settings of the interval operation. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends interval operation between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
2. Use this signal for the control of a fore-vacuum safety valve. 7.2.9 Backing pump standby mode In case you are using a Pfeiffer Vacuum backing pump with rotation speed control, this can be used in standby mode by configuring the digital output [P:019] or [P:024]. The power consumption of the turbo- pump has a direct influence on the rotation speed of the backing pump.
Operation Configuring the heating Activation of the connected housing heating depends on the rotation speed switch point 1 (factory set- ting 80% x f Nominal ► Switch the heating on or off with parameter [P:001]. Configuring the fan 1. Set the selected parameter to “0” for continuous operation of the fan. 2.
