Installation
ÎThe connections must be made in accordance with the specification of the inter-
face RS485.
ÎConnect all units with D+ and D- to the bus.
• The group address of the TC 100 is 950.
• All units connected to the bus must have differing serial interface addresses (pa-
rameter 797).
• All switched on remote functions have priority over the serial interface func-
tions.
• Refer to the component operating instructions for detailed information concer-
ning operation procedures and electrical data of the interface RS485.
5.6 Connecting the remote control
Remote control options are provided via the 15-pole D-Sub connector with the des-
ignation ”X3“ on the TC 100. The inputs 2 - 6 are activated by connecting them with
+24 VDC* at Pin 7 (active high) (see p. 18, chap. 5.7). When connecting supply volt-
age the turbopump is started.
•On delivery: Pin 3, Pin 4, Pin 5 and Pin 7 are bridged in the mating plug.
ÎShielded connectors and cables must be used.
ÎConnect the shielding on the plug side for the TC 100 to the TC housing.
CAUTION
Danger of electric shock
The insulation measures of the bus system are designed only for use with safety extra-
low voltage.
ÎConnect only suitable devices to the bus system.
NOTE
Connection to an external bus system
The integration into an external bus system (e.g. Profibus DP, DeviceNet) is possible
via connection gateway TIC 250 or TIC 260. Thus a synchronous use of interface
RS485 on the TC 100 is not possible.

ÎSwitch on the pump by connecting the power supply with the mains.
When air cooling is used: the cooling fan is switched on automatically. Once the
self test has been successfully completed on the TC 100 (approx. 10 seconds), the
turbopump and the backing pump - if connected - begin to operate.
Operation with
DCU 001 or HPU 001
ÎSwitch on the pump by connecting the power supply with the mains.
ÎSettings are possible via the RS485 on the TC 100 by using DCU, HPU or PC.
NOTE
Installation and operation of accessories
Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps can be equipped with a series of adapted accessories. The
installation, operation and maintenance of connected devices are described in detail in
the operating instructions of the individual components.
ÎFor information on the operating instructions of components, see "Accessories".
ÎUse original accessory parts only.
CAUTION
Re-starting
The serviceability of the operating fluid without operation is a maximum of three years.
Before restarting after a shut-down of 3 years or longer, carry out the following work.
ÎReplace the operating fluid reservoir.
ÎReplace bearings.
ÎFollow the maintenance instructions and inform Pfeiffer Vacuum.
WARNING
Danger due to open high vacuum flange
The rotor of the turbopump turns at high speed. If the high vacuum flange is open,
there is a danger of cut injuries and that the pump can be destroyed by objects falling
into it.
ÎNever operate the pump with an open high vacuum flange.

20
Operation
ÎObserve the following documents for operation with Pfeiffer Vacuum display
and control units:
• Operating instructions DCU
• Operating instructions HPU 001
• Pumping operations with DCU
Operation with re-
mote control
Remote control options are provided via the 15-pole D-Sub connector with the des-
ignation ”X3“ on the TC 100. The inputs 2 - 6 are activated by connecting them with
+24 VDC* at Pin 7 (active high) (see p. 18, chap. 5.7). When connecting supply volt-
age the turbopump is started.
Local/Remote
This input is used to determine wether the control should be effected via the re-
mote control inpus or the serial interface RS485 (only works in conjunction with pa-
rameter [P:028]).
Accessory inputs
The components backing pump and air cooling (connectable to the accessory out-
puts) are switched automatically. The remote control inputs Pin 3 and Pin 4 are in-
effective then. If the outputs are programmed to "venting valve" or "heating" there
is the option with the respective inputs "venting release" (after the unit has been
switched off) and "heating ON/OFF" (when the rotation speed switchpoint is ex-
ceeded).
• Additional functions can be assigned to the accessory inputs and outputs via
DCU, HPU or PC.
Pumping station
Connected pumping station components (e.g. backing pump, air cooling) are trig-
gered and the turbopump is set into operation after a successfully completed self-
test (duration approx. 10 seconds).
Standby/Reset
With the use of "Standby", the turbopump can be operated either at 66% of the
nominal rotation speed (Standby ON) or at the nominal rotation speed (Standby
OFF).
By supplying a pulse (T < 2 s) with an amplitude of 24 V a malfunction acknowl-
edgement can be processed.
Switch outputs
The switch outputs 1 and 2 can be loaded with a maximum 24 V / 50 mA per output.
The following functions are assigned to the switching outputs:
• Switching output 1: Active high after the rotation speed switchpoint is reached.
The switch-point for the turbopump is set at 80% of the nominal rotation speed.
It can, for example, be used for a "pump operational" message.
• Switching output 2: Active low in case of malfunction(common error message).
A relay is connected between Pin 15 (earth) and the respective switching output Pin
8 or Pin 9.
Accessory outputs
The accessory outputs can be loaded with a maximum of 24 V / 200 mA per output.
Additional functions can be assigned to the accessory inputs and outputs via DCU,
HPU or PC. Works settings:
• Accessory output 1: A connected air cooling unit is activated.
