Maintenance, Repair, and Disposal The customer is able to perform the following maintenance and repairs. 1) Maintenance of the diaphragm vacuum pump. 2) Fitting and removing the turbomolecular pump Customer controller. maintenance and repairs Contact the manufacturer for repairs other than the above. Replace the diaphragm in the diaphragm vacuum pump every 6,000 hours.
(1) Before Using 1. Target Users Only persons who have used a vacuum exhaust unit or trained based on this manual may operate this equipment. 2. Read the Manual Thoroughly Please read this manual thoroughly in order to use the equipment in a safe and correct manner.
(2) Product Outline 1. Purpose of Use and Prohibitions This equipment is a turbomolecular pump exhaust unit, with all necessary components mounted on the base. It is comprised of a turbomolecular pump, a controller and a diaphragm, dry vacuum pump. Follow the prohibitions below to ensure that the equipment is used correctly.
6. Switch Operation & Description of LED Display Check safety and status of switches before operation. Check Name Details and operation TMP: Turbomolecular pump DAU = Diaphragm dry vacuum pump LOCAL REMOTE select Select switch: Manual operation and remote control switch The select switch can be used on this equipment only when LOCAL is selected.
(3) Opening the Packaging and Installation 1. General Precautions 1) Verify that the contents are as requested. 2) Verify that the accessories are as required. 3) Clear a space at least 0.1m around the equipment to Check ensure safety during installation. 2.
4. Power Supply Primary power supply capacity Prepare a single-phase, 100V power supply of at least 0.3kVA. Check Warning If the capacity of the power supply is insufficient, capacity breakers may trip when a current surge occurs in operation. Primary cable connection specifications (cable supplied with equipment) 2m long, 100V cable fitted with 3-pin plug (with adapter) Prepare a separate primary power supply.
(4) Operation 1. Risks During Operation, and Associated Safety Measures Do not apply sudden gas loads (e.g. inflow of atmosphere to the high-vacuum side) during operation of the equipment. Do not apply Application of a sudden gas load may sudden gas loads damage the turbomolecular pump First, run the back pump, and then start the main pump when using this equipment.
2-2 Operation 1) The exhaust system is connected to the inlet flange: Confirm VENT V. (option): Confirm closure 2) Customer breaker: Controller LED POWER display: TMP cooling fan: Simultaneous start 3) DAU-20 switch: 4) START ■ : Press Turbomolecular pump TMP: Start LED ACCELERATION display during acceleration: TMP operates normally after approximately 2.5 minutes.
3. Handling Malfunctions 3-1 Instantaneous power failure All devices are automatically restored to the status prior to the power failure. 3-2 Long-term power failure Remove the primary cable plug from the socket to restore the status prior to operation. Restoration procedure after power failure After turning on the power again, press the STOP / RESET ■...
3. Handling Malfunctions (continued) 3-3 Overload operation (continued) Errors that can be reset Controller LED FAILURE display: ON Name of error / Description Controller overheat / When the temperature inside the controller rises above 80°C. *Cause 1) The surrounding temperature is hot. *Solution 1) Keep the surrounding temperature below 45°C.
Disconnect the power temporarily, and then turn on the power again after a few minutes. If the error persists, it is a malfunction or failure. Return the unit to ULVAC. Repair is performed at the TMP manufacturer after the equipment is received.
(5) Maintenance and Repairs 1. Risks During Maintenance and Repairs, and Associated Safety Measures The turbomolecular pump and controller employ high-voltages. This has associated dangers, and the possibility of serious accidents. Maintenance Ensure that only qualified personnel perform and repair inspections and maintenance.
3. Removing, Maintaining and Fitting the Device 3-1 Turbomolecular pump controller 1) Tools required: Phillips screwdriver 2) Removal (1) Remove the primary power cable plug from the socket. (2) Remove the MOTOR, FAN and INPUT connectors (3) Remove the two small pan head screws on the front of the controller rack.
3. Removing, Maintaining and Fitting the Device 3-3 Diaphragm Dry Vacuum Pump (DAU) 1) Tools required: Box wrench (7 mm) and Phillips screwdriver 2) Removal (1) Remove the primary side cable plug from the socket. (2) Remove the DAU-20 power cord from the terminal block. (3) Remove the silicon tube.
5. Troubleshooting Symptoms Cause Solution Ultimate pressure is poor High ambient temperature in Use air conditioning to reduce area of installation. ambient temperature to 25ºC or lower.
