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.
Installation Fig. 9: Connecting gas ballast external supply 1 Sinter filter Gas ballast connection opening 2 Gas ballast valve External gas supply line 3 Example of connecting coupling External gas supply Connecting gas supply 1. Turn the gas ballast valve to position “0”. 2.
The electronic drive unit starts when the mains supply is established. Establishing mains supply 1. Order a country-specific power cable from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories. 2. Always ensure a secure connection to the earthed conductor (PE). 3. Plug the mains cable into the connecting plug of the electronic drive unit.
The 15-pin sub-D connection with the "remote" designation offers the possibility to operate the electron- ic drive unit via remote control. The following specifications are the factory settings for the electronic drive unit. They can be configured with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set. ► Utilize the screened plug and cable.
6.2.2 Outputs The digital outputs at the "remote" connection have a maximum load limit of 24 V/50 mA per output. You can configure all listed outputs with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set via the RS-485 interface (description relates to factory settings).

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.
Alternative: Switch on via "remote" interface ► Bridge pins 7, 2 and 5. 8.3 Configuring the connections with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set The electronic drive unit is pre-configured with the factory default basic functions and is ready for opera- tion. For individual requirements, you can configure most connections for the electronic drive unit with the parameter set.

The connection as- signment does not comply with any standard.
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 8.5.2 Standby mode Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for during process and production stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation speed of the vacuum pump. The factory setting is 50 % of the nominal rotation speed.
Operation 8.5.3 Rotation speed setting operation Rotation speed setting mode reduces the speed and hence the throughput of the vacuum pump. The pumping speed changes proportionally to the rotation speed. Standby has priority over rotation speed setting mode. The specification in rotation speed setting mode [P:707] sets the set rotation speed. The rotation speed switch point varies with the set rotation speed.
Operation Switching off auto start ► Press the button for longer than 5 s to switch off auto start. – [P:034] = 0 – The yellow LED flashes for about 1 s after releasing the button. In the event of power recovery after a power failure, the vacuum pump remains deactivated. 8.6 Pressure regulation operation Option: Pressure sensor ●...
