  • Page 14 Installation Fig. 6: Motor circuit diagram with switch Fuse protection The transmission power of the pump’s magnetic coupling is so great that the cou- pling is no overload protection for the motor.  To protect the motor in case of malfunction, additionally provide a fuse protection in accordance with the regional regulations.
  • Page 15 Installation Changing the voltage range NOTICE Overvoltage! An incorrect voltage range setting can damage the motor.  Always check the set voltage range before switching on the pump.  Only change the voltage range when the pump is disconnected from the power mains.
  • Page 16: Filling Up The Operating Fluid

    NOTICE Use approved operating fluids only! The use of operating fluids that have not been approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum shall result in a limited warranty. In such cases, it is not possible to guarantee that product-specific performance data will be achieved.
  • Page 17: Operation

    Operation Operation Before switching on the pump  Check the operating fluid level in the sight glass.  Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the mains volt- age and frequency values.  Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure 1500 hPa absolute).
  • Page 18 Operation Gas ballast valve, To avoid condensation in the pump when pumping condensable vapours, air is periodi- cally fed into the working chamber at the beginning of the compression phase via the gas standard version ballast valve 60. The gas ballast valve is closed when turning to the right to position 0 and open when turn- ing to the left to position 1.
  • Page 19 Operation  Tighten screws 83, torque of 1 Nm.  Connect flushing gas at the flushing gas connection 7.4.  Set flushing gas pressure; maximum pressure 1500 hPa (absolute). – Select the type and amount of flushing gas depending on the process; consult Pfei- ffer Vacuum if necessary.
  • Page 20: Topping Up The Operating Fluid

    Operation Topping up the operating fluid If the operating fluid has reached its minimum filling level, the operating fluid must be topped up. The fluid can be topped up during operation in the final vacuum. Filling up the operat- ing fluid 304/306 (0.3 Nm) max.
  • Page 21: Switching Off The Pump

    Operation Switching off the pump The pump can be switched off in any pressure range. Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is  250 hPa, then the valve clos- es automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
