All safety instructions in this document are based on the results of a risk assess-
ment. Pfeiffer Vacuum has taken into account all the relevant life stages of the
product.
Safety
10/72

Danger to life due to electric voltage
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric voltage
High voltages are present inside the device. When touching parts that are live, there is a risk of
death. If there is visible damage, there is a risk of death when commissioning the device.
►Work on the open device must only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.
►Before carrying out any installation and maintenance work, switch the device off and disconnect
it from the current supply.
–After switching off, wait about 60 seconds and then disconnect all cables (power cable at
the end).
►Never open the device with the current supply connected.
►Secure the current supply against unauthorized or unintentional reactivation.
►Do not insert any objects into the vent openings.
►Never open an external power supply unit.
►Never operate an open or defective device.
►Secure a defective device against accidental operation.
►Protect the device against moisture.
Do not insert any objects into the vent openings.
Protect the device against moisture.

Safety
11/72

Risks during transport
NOTICE
Damage caused by incorrect transportation
Transportation in unsuitable packaging, or failure to install all transport locks, can damage the prod-
uct.
►Comply with the instructions for safe transportation.
Risks during storage
NOTICE
Damage caused by improper storage
Improper storage will lead to damage to the product.
Static charging, moisture, etc. lead to defects on the electronic components.
►Comply with the instructions for safe storage.
Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
The internal earthed conductor is fastened to the housing by a screw. A device without an earthed
conductor attached can be life-threatening in the event of a malfunction.
►Do not rotate or loosen the screw on the internal earthed conductor.
DANGER
Danger to life due to dangerous contact voltage
Voltages above 30 V (AC) or 60 V (DC) are considered dangerous in accordance with EN 61010. If
you come into contact with dangerous contact voltage, this can result in injury through electric shocks
or even death.
►Only apply protected extra-low voltage (PELV).
DANGER
Risk to life due to electric shock
An improperly earthed unit is a potential threat to life in the event of a fault.
►Conduct the electrical connection in accordance with locally applicable regulations.
►Make sure that the local mains voltage and frequency match rating plate specifications.
►Use only a 3-pin mains cable and extension cables with properly connected protective earthing
(earthed conductor).
►Plug the mains plug into a socket with earthing contact only.
–Protection must not be impaired by an extension with no earthed conductor.
►Always connect the mains cable prior to all other cables, to ensure continuous protective earth-
ing.
–In reverse: always disconnect all other cables prior to disconnecting the mains cable.
NOTICE
Loss of control cabinet protection class
As a built-in unit, the device can negate the required protection class (protection against foreign mat-
ter and water) of control cabinets according to EN 60204-1, for example.
►Take suitable measures to reestablish the required protection class.
Safety
12/72

NOTICE
Damage caused by penetrating moisture
