Infringement of conformity due to modifications to the product
The Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturer is no longer valid if the operator
changes the original product or installs additional equipment.
●Following the installation into a system, the operator is required to check and re-evalu-
ate the conformity of the overall system in the context of the relevant European Direc-
tives, before commissioning that system.
General safety precautions when handling the product
►Before performing all work on the product, disconnect all installations connected to it safely from
the mains voltage.
►Observe all applicable safety and accident prevention regulations.
►Check that all safety measures are observed at regular intervals.
►Recommendation: Establish a secure connection to the earthed conductor (PE); protection class I.
►Never disconnect plug connections during operation.
►Keep lines and cables away from hot surfaces (> 70 °C).
►Do not carry out your own conversions or modifications on the unit.
►Observe the unit protection class prior to installation or operation in other environments.
►Observe the protection class specified by ensuring the correct seating of the present sealing
plugs.
►Disconnect the electronic drive unit only once everything has come to a complete standstill and
when the mains power supply of the Turbopump is interrupted.
2.4 Limits of use of the product
Installation location weatherproof (internal space)
Air pressure 750 hPa to 1060 hPa
Installation altitude max. 2000 m
Rel. air humidity max. 80%, at T < 31°C,
up to max. 50% at T < 40°C
Protection class I
Excess voltage category II
Permissible protection class IP54
Degree of contamination 2
Ambient temperature +5 °C to +40 °C
Tbl. 3: Permissible ambient conditions
Notes on ambient conditions
The specified permissible ambient temperatures apply to operation of the turbopump at
maximum permissible backing pressure or at maximum gas throughput, depending on the
cooling type. The turbopump is intrinsically safe thanks to redundant temperature monitor-
ing.
●The reduction in backing pressure or gas throughput permits operation of the turbo-
pump at higher ambient temperatures.
●If the maximum permissible operating temperature of the turbopump is exceeded, the
electronic drive unit first reduces the drive output and then switches it off where neces-
sary.
2.5 Proper use
●The electronic drive unit is used exclusively for the operation of Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps and
their accessories.
