► 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-rotation speed-characteristics are implemented in the electronic drive unit.

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.
