1. Specification Design concept This LR/HR series models are designed to perform vacuum pumping for electronic devices (such semiconductor LCD) manufacturing equipment. Consequently, the interlocking system and control system of this LR/HR series are assumed to be built-in to the host equipment. LR/HR series can be used generally in the following processes: - Chamber vacuum pumping in spattering or vapor deposit processes in which only inert gases (nitrogen or argon) are used.
1.1 Overall Configuration 1.1.1 Pump Structure As for a primary pump, the root rotor of six pairs queues up in the series. Casing space is gradually reduced toward the outlet. The booster pump is composed of the root rotor of big capacity by one stage. The two rotors are positioned with a small allowance gap and rotate in opposite directions without contact with each other.

The pump is completely clad with panels. The main body of the pump and electrical equipment, the sensor, the N2 adjustment equipment, and the cooling water piping, etc. which drive it are laid out in the package. STOP SWITCH...
1.1.2 System Flow N2, cooling water and power supply is required. Nitrogen gas system Nitrogen gas flows in two lines in the pump, one for the shaft seal and the other for gas ballast (attenuation). The shaft seal prevents lubricating oil from entering the pump casing. Gas ballast gas is fed to the pump casing to reduce corrosion by corrosive gas and accumulation of reactive products, or to reduce liquefaction during the compression and pressurization process of the pump after sucking the...

Electrical system has two lines of power line and control line. A sensor is mounted in the system, which is constantly monitoring operation. When the sensor detected abnormal situation, it will activates buzzer, LED and remote control to output warning signal. You can operate the pump using pendant controller for local operation (LOCAL), or using electric signal through the remote controller for remote control (LEMOTE).

- The noise filters etc. are used to maintain the tolerance to the electrical noise to these products. The electrical noise (current) is leaked from the noise filter to the ground line. Therefore, a certain earth of the ground line is necessary. - These products are classified with the “High Leakage Current"...
Page 39
Cooling water - LR/HR series models use cooling water. The products are designed and tested as leakage free for the conditions defined. Nevertheless, for conditions which departed from the criteria (e.g. abnormal high water pressure), may produce leakage. In that case, the leakage will continue unless water supply from the host equipment is shut off.
Page 40
Suction and exhaust gases. - ULVAC specifies gases which can be exhausted by the pump. When the pump is used to exhaust other gases (e.g. toxic gas, combustible gas, corrosive gas and explosive gas), there could be serious accidents.
Page 41
Controlling wiring (power supply group units included) - Be careful not to insert things into the fan louver. - A protection circuit should be mounted in the host equipment so that the connector pins of the remote connector not receive voltage higher than 24Vdc. - EMC performance of these products can be obtained under the conditions prescribed by the EMC instruction.
2.2 Installation and Storage Requirements 2.2.1 Unpack LR/HR series models are packed in wood frames. Unpack work should be performed by expert trades. - This product is packed in the wooden crate. Please request WARNIN dismantlement to a special trader. - Please guide equipment with the glove made of the skin, and the use of an appropriate dismantlement tool to those who dismantle it.
