3 Product description 3.1 Function The diaphragm pump of the MVP 030-3 C DC series is a dry compressing vacuum pump with 3 pump- ing stages. The vacuum pump is a positive displacement pump with a periodic change in suction cham- ber size, produced by the movement of the diaphragm. The gas flow causes the valves to open and close automatically.
6. Always place the vacuum pump on an adequately sized, level surface. 4.2 Storing the vacuum pump Storage Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging. Procedure 1. Seal the vacuum connection with the blind plug. 2. Make sure that the gas ballast valve is closed.
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.
Installation 4. Depending on the pump type, use PVC or metallic hoses with flange connections from the Pfeiff- er Vacuum component shop. 5. Connect the vacuum pump to the vacuum system using the vacuum connection. 5.3 Connecting the exhaust side CAUTION Danger of injury from bursting as a result of high pressure in the exhaust line Faulty or inadequate exhaust pipes lead to dangerous situations, e.g.

The basic parameter set is set in the electronic drive unit ex-factory. For controlling con- nected external components (e.g. vacuum measuring instruments), additional parameters (extended parameter set) are available in the corresponding Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panels. ● Refer to the corresponding operating instructions of the respective components.
Important settings and function-related variables are factory-programmed into the vacuum pump elec- tronic drive unit as parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. Parameter- driven operation and control is supported via Pfeiffer Vacuum displays and control units, or externally via RS-485 using Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol.
● Operation via an external control unit ● Operation via RS-485 and Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit or PC The connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel permits the controlling of the vacuum pump via the parameters fixed in the electronic drive unit.
The control is carried out by means of "PLC level". Operate with peripheral devices DCU or HPU. 1. When handling the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit, observe the associated operating in- structions: – "DCU" operating instructions available from the Download Center.
Operation nominal rotation speed. In case the power input increases again, automatic increase of the speed does not take place. An increase in speed is reached again after vacuum pump stop / start. Setting the related parameters 1. Set the parameter [P:002] to "0". 2.
Operation Open gas ballast valve ► Rotate the knob on the gas ballast valve to the left to open, into position “1”. Close gas ballast valve ► Rotate the knob on the gas ballast valve to the right to close, into position “0”. 8.6 Pumping condensable vapors Vapors or moisture from pumped media impair the throughput after condensation in the vacuum pump.
Operation Display Activity Meaning 100% active ● No errors ● Vacuum pump "ON" ● Target speed reached 50% active, 10, Hz ● Defect Tbl. 15: Behavior and meaning of the LED of the electronic drive unit 8.7.2 Temperature monitoring If the pump temperature becomes too high (> 75 °C), the electronic drive unit reduces the motor rotation speed to the nominal rotation speed to prevent the vacuum pump from overheating.
