Safety
10/42

Risks during installation
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
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 cuts on moving, sharp-edged parts when reaching into the open high vacuum flange
With the high vacuum flange open, access to sharp-edged parts is possible. A manual rotation of the
rotor increases the danger situation. There is the risk of cuts, up to the separation of body parts (e.g.
fingertips). There is a risk of hair and loose clothing being drawn in. Objects falling in destroy the tur-
bopump during subsequent operation.
►Only remove the original protective covers immediately prior to connecting the high vacuum
flange.
►Do not reach into the high vacuum connection.
►Wear protective gloves during installation.
►Do not start the turbopump with open vacuum connections.
►Always carry out the mechanical installation before electrical connection.
►Prevent access to the high vacuum connection of the turbopump from the operator side (e.g.
open vacuum chamber).
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by the turbopump breaking away with the vibration compensator in the
event of a malfunction
Sudden jamming of the rotor generates high destructive torques in accordance with ISO 27892.
When using a vibration compensator, this will probably lead to the turbopump being sheared off in
use. The energy that this would release could throw the entire turbopump or shattered pieces from its
interior through the surrounding space. Potentially dangerous gases can escape. There is a risk of
very serious injuries, including death, and extensive property damage.
►Take suitable safety precautions on-site for the compensation of the occurring torques.
►Before installing a vibration compensator, you must first of all contact Pfeiffer Vacuum.
WARNING
Use of gases other than nitrogen is hazardous to health
Improper use of gases other than nitrogen is hazardous to health and causes injuries.
►Observe all safety recommendations from the gas producer.
►Observe all pertinent regulations for handling the applicable gases.
►Adhere to the specified safety measures.
Safety
11/42

CAUTION
Danger of injury from bursting as a result of high pressure in the exhaust line
Faulty or inadequate exhaust pipes lead to dangerous situations, e.g. increased exhaust pressure.
There is a danger of bursting. Injuries caused by flying fragments, the escaping of high pressure, and
damage to the unit cannot be excluded.
►Route the exhaust line without shut-off units.
►Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials for the product.
►Check the function of the exhaust line on a regular basis.
Risks during operation
WARNING
Danger to life from poisoning where toxic process gases leak with no exhaust line
During normal operation, the calibration system expels exhaust gases and vapors freely into the open
air. In processes involving toxic media, there is a risk of injury and danger to life due to poisoning.
►Observe the relevant regulations for handling toxic substances.
►Safely purge toxic process gases via an exhaust line.
WARNING
Risk of burns in case of contact with hot surfaces
For the operator's safety, the products are designed to avoid thermal risk. Depending on the applica-
tion, the conditions of use generate high temperatures which require extra caution from users (surfa-
ces > 65 °C).
►Pay attention to the marking of hot surfaces indicated by safety labels.
►Wait for the part to cool completely before working on the product.
►If necessary, wear protective gloves in accordance with standard EN 420.
WARNING

3 Product description
3.1 Structure
The calibration system comprises a turbopump station HiCube 80 Eco as its main component and a fit-
ted vacuum chamber. Depending on the respective configuration, several flange connections with vari-
ous nominal diameters for vacuum gauges are featured on the top of the vacuum chamber. These
flange connections are connected with blank flanges at the factory. A HiPace air-cooling is fitted for
cooling of the turbopump.

3.2 Function
The dosing valve mounted centrally on the vacuum chamber provides central, manual gas intake regu-
lation, and the Pirani/cold cathode gauge mounted on the vacuum chamber is a controller for the cali-
bration system. The vacuum chamber can be closed off from the turbopump via the manual butterfly
valve. Control and monitoring of the calibration system is assumed by the display and control unit. The
backing pump generates the necessary backing pressure for the turbopump. The power supply pack
feeds the electronic drive unit. The electronic drive unit is a fixed component of the turbopump and pro-
vides the drive, as well as monitoring and control for the turbopump. In addition, the turbopump is equip-
ped with a venting valve which vents the turbopump automatically following a set time delay in the event
of shutdown or power failure as soon as the turbopump speed falls below the preset venting switch
point.
3.2.1 Comparing measuring range limits
The measuring range limits for vacuum gauges can shift over the course of the operating period. Some
types of vacuum gauges therefore require an occasional comparison of their measuring range limits, for
example Pirani vacuum gauge for ATM and HV or diaphragm vacuum gauge at the zero scale mark.
The calibration system can easily generate the pressure ratios necessary for this comparison, in con-
trast to many other process vacuum systems.
3.2.2 Calibrating vacuum gauges
Calibration of a UUC means comparison of the UUC with a reference gauge. This calibration can cover
the entire measuring range of the UUC or only one limited range as desired. The reference gauge was
calibrated previously using a calibration process with a lesser measuring uncertainty. The calibration
chain is also linked with a national metrological laboratory which provides standards with the minimum
measuring uncertainty possible. This measuring uncertainty is often referred to as accuracy in commer-
cial documents (catalogs, brochures). To select a suitable reference gauge, required accuracy of the
UUC must first be meticulously tested. Capacitive diaphragm vacuum gauges generally provide the
Product description
18/42

highest accuracy, as long as these measuring instruments apply a pressure decade higher than their
lowermost final value. A reference gauge of the same type is usually adequate for testing a UUC.
