3 Product description
3.1 Shipment
The shipment includes the following parts:
●Sealing gas valve
●1 Sealing ring
●Filter
●Operating instructions
3.2 Functional description
The use of sealing gas serves to protect the vacuum pump in dusty processes or with excessive gas
throughputs. Sealing gas prevents the ingress of damaging substances into the motor and bearing area.
The Pfeiffer Vacuum sealing gas valve supplies a vacuum pump with a suitable, constant flow rate with
electric control.

NOTICE
Property damage caused by unfiltered media supply
Using unfiltered media for the gas inlet of a vacuum pump may result in particle contamination. There
is a risk of damage to, and even destruction of, vacuum components.
►Install suitable filters from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories range upstream of the gas inlet, be-
fore you use ambient air or other unclean media.
Usage recommendation
●Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the use of sealing gas at 50 % of the maximum vacuum
pump gas throughput or higher.
●The permissible inlet pressure for sealing gas is 1,500 hPa absolute.

Installation
9/16

Connecting the sealing gas valve
The electrical connection of the sealing gas valve is dependent on the turbopump electronic drive unit,
and its connection variants.
►Configure the accessory output for the sealing gas via the interfaces of your electronic drive unit.
►TC 110, TC 120, TCP 350, TCP 1200: Connect the control cable connecting plug to the electronic
drive unit using a suitable connection cable or adapter.
►TC 400, TM 700, TC 1200: Connect the control cable connecting plug directly to the correspond-
ing electronic drive unit accessory connection.
Establishing the sealing gas supply
1. Screw the filter (included in shipment) onto the valve inlet side by hand, if you wish to use dry am-
bient air as sealing gas.
2. Alternatively: Connect an inert gas supply (e.g., nitrogen) to the inlet side.
3. If required, use a connection adapter from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories range (not included in
shipment).
