(see chapter “Electrical Characteristics”). In order to satisfy most applications in the 90 m /h range, the ACP 90 is available in 2 versions. Standard SD version The pump is designed for clean (dust-free) and non-corrosive gas pumping applications. Standard pumps are equipped with a gas ballast device to improve pumping of light gases and avoid vapor con- densation inside the pump.

Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Installation The pump needs to operate in the horizontal position resting on its feet, the pumping axis must be verti- cal, and the pump inlet must be on top. 1. Determine where the pump will be located. 2. Handle the pump using a hoist. 3.
The purge consists of injecting an inert gas into the pump. In this manual, the inert gas will be called 'nitrogen', as it is the most commonly used gas. For more information on the type of purge gas, contact our Pfeiffer Vacuum service center. 19/52...
Installation DANGER Danger of death by explosion when pumping gases containing pyrophoric/flammable materi- There is a risk of explosion if pyrophoric materials above the LEL are sent to the pump. ► Ensure there is a sufficient flow of nitrogen to lower the concentration below the LEL. ►...
Installation NOTICE Risk of electromagnetic disturbance Voltages and currents can induce a multitude of electromagnetic fields and interference signals. In- stallations that do not comply with the EMC regulations can interfere with other equipment and the environment in general. ► Use shielded cables and connections for the interfaces in interference-prone environments. Electromagnetic compatibility The product complies with industrial environment immunity and emission standards.

● Do not drain the pump: this operation is carried out during pump overhaul by our serv- ice centers. Safety data sheets You can obtain the safety data sheets for operating fluids from Pfeiffer Vacuum on request, or from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center.
Operation 5. Check that the ambient temperature is well within the permitted operating range. 6. Check the exhaust line during pumping to prevent the risks related to excess overpressure. 6.2 Matrix gas/applications You are advised to use the appropriate pump version according to the applications and the nature of the gases pumped and apply the usual precautions to guarantee the reliability and safety of the procedure.
Operation ● LOCAL ─ With automatic start-up: the pump starts automatically when it is switched on. ─ No automatic start-up: the pump is managed by the RUN/STOP keys on the frequency con- verter control pad. The pump runs independently of the equipment onto which it has been in- tegrated.
Operation 6.3.2 LOCAL mode operation without auto-start Starting the pump The cover plug is not on the remote control connector. 1. Power on the pump. – The fan starts. – The frequency converter display shows 0.00, the KEYPAD CONTROL, Hz and A indicators are on.
Operation Influence of rotation speed on pump performances Pump performances are guaranteed for a nominal speed of 112 Hz. Changing the rotation speed affects the pumping speed and the ultimate pressure of the pump. At low speed, it is the customer's responsibility to find the correct settings according to the pump and the process.
Operation Shutting down the pump 1. Isolate the pump in the pumping line (isolation valve at pump inlet, closed) and let it to run for 1 hour with gas ballast or purge open 2. Send a ’STOP’ pump order via the serial link. –...

Malfunctions 9 Malfunctions 9.1 Faults history For a fault diagnosis, it is necessary to know the last faults that occurred on the pump. The last 4 alarms are recorded. This history is not cleared when the power is turned off. It is possible to read the alarms on the frequency converter display or via the serial link. Reading on display The frequency converter displays the last 4 alarms.
Malfunctions Symptom Cause Remedy Bad ultimate pressure Gas ballast ● Check if the gas ballast is open. Warning: if the application re- quires it, the gas ballast must remain open at the expense of the limit pressure! Purge (if present) ●...
