Safety instructions according to product’s life stages
All safety instructions in this document are based on the results of a risk assessment.
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.
Tbl. 4: Danger to life due to electric voltage
Disconnect device
The disconnect device must be clearly recognizable by the user and within easy reach.

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.
Safety
11/72

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 IEC 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
Danger to life from electric shock
Inadequate or incorrect grounding of the unit leads to contact-sensitive voltage on the housing. When
making contact, increased leakage currents will cause a life-threatening electric shock.
►Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
►Conduct the electrical connection in accordance with locally applicable regulations.
►Make sure that the local mains voltage and frequency match rating plate specifications.
►Make sure that the mains cable and extension cable meet the requirements for double isolation
between input voltage and output voltage, in accordance with IEC 61010 and IEC 60950.
►Use only a 3-pin mains cable and extension cable with properly connected protective earthing
(earthed conductor).
►Plug the mains plug into a socket with earthing contact only.
►Always connect the mains cable prior to all other cables, to ensure continuous protective earth-
ing.
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 IEC 60204-1, for example.
►Take suitable measures to reestablish the required protection class.
NOTICE
Damage caused by penetrating moisture
Penetrating moisture, e.g. through condensation or dripping water, damages the device.
►Protect the device against moisture penetrating.
►Only operate the device in a clean and dry environment.
►Operate the device away from fluids and humidity sources.
►Take special precautions if there is a risk of dripping water.
►Do not switch on the device if fluid has penetrated into it, instead contact the Pfeiffer Vacuum
Service Center.
Safety
12/72

NOTICE
Damage caused by overheating
The ambient temperature must not exceed the permissible operating temperature of the device.
►Make sure there is unobstructed circulation of air when installing the device.
►Make sure that air can enter and exit through the ventilation openings without obstruction.
►Do not cover the ventilation openings.
►Periodically check and clean the installed air filter.
Risks during operation
DANGER
Electric shocks due to moisture penetrating into the device
Moisture that has penetrated into the device results in personal injury through electric shocks.
►Only operate the device in a dry environment.
►Operate the device away from fluids and humidity sources.
►Do not switch on the device if fluid has penetrated into it, instead contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Serv-
ice.
►Always disconnect the current supply before cleaning the device.
NOTICE
Unintentional results with controller connected
Switch relay not dependent on pressure. Values below the intended measuring range, or starting the
test program, can result in unintentional results at the connected controller, if the relay switches.
►Unplug the connected measuring and control cable.
►Prevent triggering of incorrect control commands or messages.
Risks during maintenance
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.
