Warning of a displayed source of danger in connection with operation of the unit or equipment. Command to perform an action or task associated with a source of danger, the disregarding of which may result in serious accidents.
• Use of the vacuum pump to generate pressure. • Pumping of liquids. • The use of operating fluids not specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum. • Connection to pumps or units which are not suitable for this purpose according to their operating instructions.
Transport and storage 3 Transport and storage 3.1 Transport Transport instructions Remove the locking cap from the vacuum flange immediately before connec- ting! – Check the protective strainer, paying attention to the o-ring. Use only the crane eye sideways at the operating fluid separator to lift the pump. Fig.

Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Setting up the pump Installation location Observe the following requirements when setting up the pump: • Note the load-bearing capacity of the mounting surface. • Maximum installation altitude 2000 m (above mean sea level) • Permissible ambient temperature: +12 ... 40°C •...
Installation WARNING Emission of toxic substances from the exhaust! Danger of poisoning from emitted gases or vapours, which can be detrimental to health and/or can pollute the environment, depending on the particular application. Comply with the applicable regulations when working with toxic substances. Only officially approved filter systems may be used to separate and remove these substances.

Installation Three-phase motors Inspection of the direction of rotation With pumps with three-phase motors is it necessary to check the direction of rota- tion! CAUTION Operating fluids may leak out! If the direction of rotation is incorrect, there is a danger that operating fluids may leak at the vacuum flange.

Operation 6.4 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 differ- ential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥ 250 mbar, then the valve closes automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
Use only alcohol or similar agents for cleaning pump parts. NOTE Service work should be carried out by qualified personal only! Pfeiffer Vacuum is not liable for any damage to the pump resulting from work carried out improperly. Take advantage of our service training programs; additional information at www.pfeiffer-vacuum.net.
If operating fluid leaks out from under the pump between the pump casing and the motor or fan, the radial shaft seals should be replaced. In this case please get in touch with your local Pfeiffer Vacuum Service. 7.2 Changing the operating fluid The changing interval for the operating fluid depends on the pump applications, but should be carried out once a year.
Page 20
Fill up with operating fluid and check the filling level (siehe S. 13, Kap. 5.5). NOTE Request safety data sheets for operating fluids and lubricants from Pfeiffer Vacuum or download them from the Internet. Dispose of operating fluid according to the local regulations.
Maintenance 7.3 Changing the operating fluid filter Operating fluid filter 17 should be replaced at every operating fluid change but at least once every six months. It is also necessary to replace the filter when the pump is on operating temperature and the filter housing is cold. Allow the pump to warm up for a minimum of 15 minutes before replacing the filter.

Fig. 15: Operating fluid separator UNO 60 / UNO 90 Assembling Re-assemble in reverse order: Fit new exhaust filter 120 (UNO 20: one filter cartridge, UNO 60 / UNO 90: two filter cartridges); take care with regard to the position of O-ring 121.
Visually inspect the inner of the pump before taking it into operation. If there is ev- idence of rust on the parts of the pump which form the housing, then do not take it into operation and contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service.
Malfunctions Depending on how long the pump is taken out of operation, it may be necessary to replace the radial shaft sealing rings. With reference to DIN 7716 and the manu- facturer's specifications we recommend replacing the installed elastomer parts af- ter 2 years.
Service if necessary NOTE Service work should be carried out by qualified personal only! Pfeiffer Vacuum is not liable for any damage to the pump resulting from work carried out improperly. Take advantage of our service training programs; additional information at www.pfeiffer-vacuum.net.
