● Power supply: The turbopump power supply must apply to the requirements of dou- ble insulation between mains input voltage and operating voltage according to the reg- ulations of IEC 61010 and IEC 60950. Therefore Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends to use exclusively original-power packs and -accessories. Only in this case Pfeiffer Vacuum is able to guarantee the compliance of the European and North American guidelines.
Following installation into a plant and before commissioning, the operator must check the entire system for compliance with the valid EU directives and reassess it accord- ingly. ● The electronic drive unit TC 400 E74 operates designated Pfeiffer Vacuum turbo- pumps and their accessories. Improper use Improper use will cause all claims for liability and warranties to be forfeited.

SEMI E74. RS-485 M12 socket with screw coupling for the connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit or a PC. The use of a Y-connector enables the series connection in a bus system. Casing socket on the rear side of the electronic drive unit for the connection to the turbopump.
Connection "E74" Connection "E74" The connection "E74" on the TC 400 E74 with 15-pole female plug contains besides the signals, described in the SEMI E74-0301 standard, an additional inverted alarm signal and an analog output. Input signal Output signal signal (+)
Connection "RS-485" Connections A Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel (DCU or HPU) or an external PC can be connected to the electronic drive unit via the connection designated "RS-485". The inter- face is electrically isolated from the maximum supply voltage of the electronic drive unit.

Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the intermittend mode between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.

The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set Adjust the switch off threshold backing pump via parameter [P:710] to the determined drive power for a fore-vacuum pressure of 5 hPa. Delayed switching on Switching on the turbopump and the backing pump at the same time can result in un- wanted gas flows.
The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set Direct venting Start and venting time are not configurable. Venting starts with a delay of 6 s after "pump- ing station off". When the function "pumping station" is switched on renewed, the venting valve closes automatically. In the event of a power failure, venting will occur if an an- chored type-specific rotation speed is underrun.
