►Instructions to avoid the danger situation
WARNING
Potential pending danger
Indicates a pending danger that could result in death or serious injury if not observed.
►Instructions to avoid the danger situation
CAUTION
Potential pending danger
Indicates a pending danger that could result in minor injuries if not observed.
►Instructions to avoid the danger situation
NOTICE

Is used to highlight actions that are not associated with personal injury.
►Instructions to avoid damage to property
Notes, tips or examples indicate important information about the product or about this docu-
ment.
2.2 Safety instructions
All safety instructions in this document are based on the results of the risk assessment carried out in
accordance with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. Where applicable, all life cycle phases of the prod-
uct were taken into account.
Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
When establishing the voltages that exceed the specified safety extra-low voltage (according to IEC
60449 and VDE 0100), the insulating measures will be destroyed. There is a danger to life from elec-
tric shock at the communication interfaces.
►Connect only suitable devices to the bus system.
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.
►Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
►Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
►Provide adequate grounding for the device.
►After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
Safety
10/48

DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Power supply packs that are not specified or are not approved will lead to severe injury to death.
►Make sure that the power supply pack meets the requirements for double isolation between
mains input voltage and output voltage, in accordance with IEC 61010-1 IEC 60950-1 and
IEC 62368-1.
►Make sure that the power supply pack meets the requirements in accordance with IEC 61010-1
IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1.
►Where possible, use original power supply packs or only power supply packs that correspond
with the applicable safety regulations.
WARNING
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock on account of incorrect installation
The device's power supply uses life-threatening voltages. Unsafe or improper installation can lead to
life-threatening situations from electric shocks obtained from working with or on the unit.
►Ensure safe integration into an emergency off safety circuit.
►Do not carry out your own conversions or modifications on the unit.
WARNING
Risk of danger to life through missing mains disconnection device
The vacuum pump and electronic drive unit are not equipped with a mains disconnection device
(mains switch).
►Install a mains disconnection device according to SEMI-S2.
►Install a circuit breaker with an interruption rating of at least 10,000 A.
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.
►Take suitable safety precautions and prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by toxic
process media.
►Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
►Wear protective equipment.
Risks during operation
WARNING
Danger to life due to incorrect operation
The OmniControl and its options are not designed as safety-related controllers. Manual misuse of the
OmniControl or options, or automatically executed programming of the OmniControl’s auto control
function may result in damage relating to materials, the environment, health, or life.
►Only use the OmniControl, options, or auto control function to control functions that will not cause
damage.
►To ensure correct settings, ensure that the operating instructions are available to qualified per-
sonnel and operators.
Safety
11/48

Risks during maintenance
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock during maintenance and service work
The device is only completely de-energized when the mains plug has been disconnected and the
vacuum pump is at a standstill. There is a danger to life from electric shock when making contact with
live components.
►Before performing all work, switch off the main switch.
►Wait until the vacuum pump comes to a standstill (rotation speed =0).
►Disconnect all connection cables.
►Remove the mains plug from the device.
►Secure the device against unintentional restarting.
Risks during troubleshooting
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock in the event of a fault
In the event of a fault, devices connected to the mains may be live. There is a danger to life from
electric shock when making contact with live components.
►Always keep the mains connection freely accessible so you can disconnect it at any time.
2.3 Safety precautions
Duty to provide information on potential dangers
The product holder or user is obliged to make all operating personnel aware of dangers
posed by this product.
Every person who is involved in the installation, operation or maintenance of the product

DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
When establishing the voltages that exceed the specified safety extra-low voltage (according to IEC
60449 and VDE 0100), the insulating measures will be destroyed. There is a danger to life from elec-
tric shock at the communication interfaces.
►Connect only suitable devices to the bus system.
The interface designated “RS-485” is intended for connecting a Pfeiffer Vacuum electronic drive unit or
a gauge. The connectors are isolated from the maximum occurring supply voltage in a galvanically safe
way. The electrical connections are optically decoupled internally.
