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.
► Install a suitable exhaust line. ► Wear hearing protection. Condensate separator Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends installing a condensate separator, with condensate drain at the lowest point of the exhaust line. Procedure 1. Check the installed silencer for free passage.
Installation Procedure 1. Use a suitable grounding cable to divert applicative interferences. 2. Route the connection in accordance with locally applicable provisions. 3. On the vacuum pump, use the designated ground terminal on the fixing plate (M4 female thread). 5.4.2 Establishing electric connection DANGER Danger to life from electric shock Power supply packs that are not specified or are not approved will lead to severe injury to death.
► Insert the connection cable into the connection "DC out" on the power supply pack and close the bayonet lock. ► If you are using a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit: Connect the “RS-485” connector to the control unit using a suitable extension cable.
The following specifications are the factory settings for the electronic drive unit. Configuring “remote” interface ► Utilize the screened plug and cable. ► Configure the inputs and outputs via the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set. Fig. 6: Pins of the D-Sub socket, 15-pin Function...

Operation 8 Operation 8.1 Commissioning vacuum pump WARNING Danger of poisoning due to toxic process media escaping from the exhaust pipe During operation with no exhaust line, the vacuum pump allows exhaust gases and vapors to escape freely into the air. There is a risk of injury and fatality due to poisoning in processes with toxic process media.
The vacuum pump achieves the specified throughput and final pressure values once the operating tem- perature has been reached. 8.3 Configuring connections with Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set The electronic drive unit is pre-configured with the factory default basic functions and is ready for opera- tion.
● Operation via an external control unit ● Operation via RS-485 and Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit or PC The connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit permits the controlling of the vacuum pump via the pa- rameters fixed in the electronic drive unit.
2. Set the parameter [P:026] to "0". 3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:309] or [P:398]). 8.4.2 Stand-by operation Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends stand-by operation for the vacuum pump during breaks in processes or production. ● The factory setting is 66.7 % of the nominal speed.
