Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Function The turbopump forms a compact unit with the electronic drive unit TC 80. The Pfeiffer Vacuum power supply packs are used for voltage supply. Fig. 2: Design of HiPace 10 Neo 1 C-clamp, DN 40...
► Do not stack the products. ► Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes. Recommendation Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov- Safe transport of the product ► Transport the turbopump only within the permissible temperature limits.
Installation 5 Installation The installation of the turbopump and its fastening is of outstanding importance. The rotor of the turbo- pump revolves at very high speed. In practice it is not possible to exclude the risk of the rotor touching the stator (e.g. due to the penetration of foreign bodies into the high vacuum connection). The kinetic energy released acts on the housing and on the anchoring of the turbopump within fractions of a sec- ond.
Safety connection, customer-side 5.2.3 Using a mesh screen Pfeiffer Vacuum centering rings with mesh screen in the high vacuum flange protect the turbopump against foreign matter from the chambers. The pumping speed of the turbopump decreases according to the conductivity and the size of the high vacuum flange.
► Use centering rings with integrated mesh screen for ISO flanges. 5.2.4 Taking mounting orientations into account Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps of the HiPace Neo series are suitable for use with dry compressing back- ing pumps for mounting in all orientations. ► When using oil-sealed backing pumps, avoid backflow from the fore-vacuum range.
Flange connection for DN 40 onto DN 40 ISO-KF with C-clamp Establishing the high vacuum connection 1. Use only the approved mounting kit from Pfeiffer Vacuum for connection. 2. Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and undamaged. 3. Connect flange with mounting kit components according to figure.
► Observe the installation instructions in the operating instructions for the relevant accessory. ► Note the existing configuration of existing connections and control lines. ► Use a Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit with an integrated power supply pack. 24/54...
► Do not carry out your own conversions or modifications on the unit. ► Ensure the integration into an Emergency Off safety circuit. 5.5.1 Ground the vacuum pump Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends connecting a suitable grounding cable to discharge applicative interfer- ences. Fig. 8: Example: Connecting the grounding cable 1.
Page 26
5. Insert the connecting cable into the connection "DCout" on the power supply pack and close the bayonet lock. 6. If you are using a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit: Connect the “RS-485” connector to the control unit using a suitable connection cable.
Important settings and function-related variables are programmed ex factory as parameters in the vac- uum pump electronic drive unit. 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.
Notes on operation without control unit 1. Only use the approved Pfeiffer Vacuum connection cables with bridges on the "X3" connection on the electronic drive unit. 2. Only switch on the power supply of the turbopump immediately before operation.
6.4.1 Operating mode display via LED LEDs on the electronic drive unit show the basic operating states of the vacuum pump. A differentiated error and warning display is only possible for operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit or a PC. Symbol...
This causes mechanical damage to the turbopump, including potential failure. ► Observe the prescribed maximum pressure rise speed of 15 hPa/s. ► Avoid manual and uncontrolled venting of very low volumes. ► Where necessary, use a venting valve from the Pfeiffer Vacuum range of accessories. 30/54...
General information for fast venting We recommend fast venting of larger volumes in 4 steps. 1. Use a Pfeiffer Vacuum venting valve for the turbopump, or match the valve cross-section to the size of the recipient and maximum venting rate.
5. Change the operating fluid reservoir at least every 4 years. 6. Have Pfeiffer Vacuum Service replace the rotor bearing of the turbopump at least every 4 years. 7. Consult with Pfeiffer Vacuum Service about shorter maintenance intervals for extreme loads or im- pure processes.
● When exchanging the operating fluid reservoir, pay attention to the correct assignment of pump article number and operating fluid reservoir. You will find the safety data sheet in the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center. Prerequisites ● Turbopump off ●...

Maintenance NOTICE Property damage from electrostatic discharge Failure to observe the electrostatic hazard to electronic components results in their damage or de- struction. ► Implement ESD safety measures at the workstation. ► Observe EN 61340 "Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena". Backing up settings made by the customer The factory operating parameters are always preset in replacement units.
5. Set the parameter [P:777] to the required value of the nominal rotation speed in Hertz. Alternative to adjusting nominal rotation speed confirmation For the configuration of exchange units, order the Pfeiffer Vacuum SpeedConfigurator (PM 061 812 -X) for the one-time immediate setting of parameter [P:777].
2. Clean the turbopump exterior with a lint-free cloth and a little isopropanol. 3. If necessary, arrange for Pfeiffer Vacuum Service to completely clean the turbopump. 4. Observe the total running time of the turbopump and if necessary, arrange for Pfeiffer Vac- uum Service to replace the bearing.
