Safety 2 Safety 2.1 General safety information The following 4 risk levels and 1 information level are taken into account in this document. DANGER Immediately pending danger Indicates an immediately pending danger that will result in death or serious injury if not observed. ►...
Page 11
Safety Risks during installation DANGER Danger to life from electric shock Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life. ►...
Page 12
Safety WARNING Mortal danger from electric shock caused by water damage The device is not protected against water ingress. Vacuum pumps operated on the floor lead to leak- age current in penetrating and surrounding water. There is a danger to life from electric shock when making contact with live water.
Page 13
Safety 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.

► Install suitable touch protection if the vacuum pump is accessible to untrained persons. ► Allow the vacuum pump to cool down before carrying out any work. ► Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for suitable touch protection in system solutions. CAUTION Danger of injury if hair or loose clothing is pulled in There is a danger of injury from getting pulled in at rotating parts of the fan.
Safety WARNING Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work, there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub- stances causes environmental damage.
Safety ► Always ensure a secure connection to the earthed conductor (PE). ► Never disconnect plug connections during operation. ► Observe the above shutdown procedures. ► Before working on the vacuum pump, wait until complete standstill (rotation speed f = 0). ►...

Transportation and Storage 4 Transportation and Storage 4.1 Transporting vacuum pump WARNING Risk of serious injury from swinging, toppling or falling objects During transport, there is a risk of crushing and impact on swinging, toppling or falling objects. There is a risk of injuries to limbs, up to and including bone fractures and head injuries. ►...
Transportation and Storage Transporting vacuum pump without packaging 1 eye bolt is included in the scope of delivery. It is securely bolted to the vacuum pump at the factory. 1. Attach suitable lifting tools to the eye bolt. 2. Pay attention to the correct use and fastening of the lifting equipment. 3.
► Do not remove the strainer until you are sure that no solid particles can enter the vacuum pump. Preventing throttling losses Using short vacuum lines with a large nominal diameter prevents throttling losses. Condensate separator Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the installation of a condensate separator in case vapors are formed from moisture during evacuation. 25/64...
► Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials for the product. ► Check the function of the exhaust line on a regular basis. Condensate separator Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends installing a condensate separator, with condensate drain at the lowest point of the exhaust line. 26/64...
2. Choose a minimum exhaust line cross section equal to the connection nominal diameter. 3. Install a vacuum connection with small flange components, e.g. fasteners and pipe components DN 25 ISO-KF from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Components Shop. 4. Route the piping downwards from the vacuum pump, to prevent condensate return.
Installation The gas ballast system of the scroll pump is suitable for being connected to a gas external supply. Cou- plings for the G 1/8" connection from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories range are available for this pur- pose. Required tools ●...

Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Commissioning vacuum pump WARNING Risk of explosion in the medium to be pumped as a result of increased pressure With installation on the exhaust side, there is a risk of the exhaust pressure of the vacuum pump ex- ceeding the atmospheric conditions.
► Install suitable touch protection if the vacuum pump is accessible to untrained persons. ► Allow the vacuum pump to cool down before carrying out any work. ► Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for suitable touch protection in system solutions. Operating conditions ●...
Operation WARNING Risk of poisoning from incorrect use of the gas ballast system The gas ballast system of the scroll pump is vacuum sealed only when used in valid, snapped posi- tions "0", "1" and "2". When operating the valves in intermediate stages, there is a risk that process media can escape to the environment uncontrolled.
Operation 6.5 Switching off vacuum pump Procedure 1. If required, switch the vacuum pump off in each pressure range. 2. Safely disconnect the drive motor from the mains. – The vacuum safety valve closes automatically when the vacuum pump is switched off, pre- venting the backflow of gas into the intake line.
► Disconnect the mains cable from the vacuum pump. NOTICE Danger of property damage from improper maintenance Unprofessional work on the vacuum pump will lead to damage for which Pfeiffer Vacuum accepts no liability. ► We recommend taking advantage of our service training offering.
We recommend that Pfeiffer Vacuum Service (PV) carry out maintenance work at level 3. Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims if maintenance work is not carried out properly. This also applies wherever parts other than original spare parts are used.
