Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of
the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life.
►Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
►Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
►Provide adequate grounding for the device.
►After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
WARNING
Danger of injury due to exposed rotating parts
Danger of crushing fingers and hands when the vacuum connection is open.
►Safely disconnect motor from the mains.
►Secure the motor against reactivation.
►Never insert hands or fingers into the vacuum connection.
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.
►Open shut-off units immediately before or at the same time as starting the pump.
►Take care that atmospheric pressure is always present on the exhaust side. Overpressure or un-
derpressure are not permissible.
►Check the function of the exhaust line on a regular basis.
Risks during operation
CAUTION
Health hazard from increased noise emission
Remaining in the close proximity of the vacuum pump for a sustained period of time may cause hear-
ing damage.
►Ensure adequate sound insulation.
►Wear hearing protection.
CAUTION
Danger of burns on hot surfaces
Depending on the operating and ambient conditions, the surface temperature of the vacuum pump
can increase to above 70 °C.
►Provide suitable touch protection.
Risks during maintenance, decommissioning and malfunctions
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of
the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life.

health hazard due to contact with poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic substances causes
environmental damage.
►Wear suitable personal protective equipment when handling these media.
►Dispose of the lubricant according to locally applicable regulations.
CAUTION
Danger of injury from moving parts
After a power failure or a standstill as a result of overheating, the motor restarts automatically. There
is a risk of injury to fingers and hands if they enter the operating range of rotating parts.
►Safely disconnect motor from the mains.
►Secure the motor against reactivation.
►Dismantle the vacuum pump for inspection, away from the system if necessary.
CAUTION
Danger of burns on hot surfaces
In the event of a fault, the surface temperature of the vacuum pump can increase to above 105 °C.

3 Product description
3.1 Function
The HeptaDry screw pumps function according to the double screw-pump principle. Two screw rotors
rotate in the compression chamber. The medium to be pumped is trapped between the individual screw
coils, compacted and transported to the gas outlet. During the compression process, the two screw ro-
tors do not come into contact with each other or with the suction chamber.
Fig. 2: Functional principle with heat exchanger
Operation of this screw pump is instigated with each occurrence of intake pressure between atmos-
phere and final pressure. Despite contactless operation of the screw pump, no operating fluid, such as
oil or water, is necessary within the working chamber. A gas ballast valve, sealing gas device and/or
silencer can be installed at the gas exhaust, depending on the respective application.

3.1.1 Water cooling
An integrated water pump ensures an evenly distributed temperature within the pumping system. The
temperature controller is fitted before the heat exchanger in the cooling circuit. If the cooling liquid tem-
perature exceeds 55 °C, the temperature controller opens (mechanical opening) and allows the cooling
liquid to flow into the heat exchanger.
3.1.2 Temperature monitoring
The thermal circuit breaker monitors the operating temperature and prevents overheating and potential
blockages in the screw pump. Once the pre-set switching temperature has been reached, the screw
pump must be switched off.
3.1.3 Thermometer
The thermometer shows the cooling water temperature in the cooling water chamber.
3.1.4 Shaft seal on motor side and vacuum side
The sealing systems prevent any penetration of process gases into the storage chambers. A sealing
gas system may improve effectiveness of the sealing systems, depending on the respective application.
3.1.5 Gas ballast
An integrated gas ballast system serves the controlled supply of ambient air or inert gas into the suction
chamber. Gas ballast supports the reduction of condensate accumulating in the pumping system.
3.1.6 Sealing gas system
Sealing gas is used to protect the screw pump in dusty processes, or wherever excessive gas through-
puts are prevalent. Sealing gas prevents the ingress of damaging substances into the motor and bear-
ing area. The supply is carried out either via a sealing gas valve or a sealing gas throttle without control.
3.2 Identifying the product
►To ensure clear identification of the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum, always
keep all of the information on the rating plate to hand.

WARNING
Risk of serious injury from oscillating, toppling or falling objects
During transport, there is a risk of crushing and impact on oscillating, toppling or falling objects. There
is a risk of injuries to limbs, up to and including bone fractures and head injuries.
►Secure the danger zone if necessary.
►Note the center of gravity of the load during transport.
►Do not lift the vacuum pump via the eye bolt on the motor.
►Ensure harmonious movements and moderate speeds.
►Observe safe handling of the transport devices.
►Avoid sloping attachment aids.
►Never stack products.
►Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
NOTICE
Property damage as a result of lubricant leaking into the pumping system.
Tilting of the screw pump will cause lubricant to overflow into the pumping system.
►Always transport the screw pump horizontally.
►Always transport the screw pump without lubricant.
►Only fill up lubricant at the final installation location.

4.2 Bearing
Storage
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging.
Store the vacuum pump
1. Seal the vacuum and exhaust connection.
2. Make sure that the gas ballast valve is closed.
3. Store the vacuum pump only in dry, dust-free rooms, within the specified ambient conditions.
4. In rooms with humid or aggressive atmospheres: Hermetically seal the vacuum pump together
with a drying agent in a plastic bag.
5. Replace the lubricant if storage is to exceed a period of more than 2 years.
Store the vacuum pump for longer periods
Preserve the vacuum pump if the vacuum pump is exposed to unfavorable ambient conditions (e.g. ag-
gressive environment, extreme fluctuations in temperature) or if the equipment is to be in storage for a
period of more than 3 months.
1. Drain the lubricant and cooling water.
2. Close all openings so that they are airtight.
3. Secure any loose parts (e.g. sealing rings, flat seals) with adhesive tape.
4. Wrap the vacuum pump in VCI film.
5. Only store the vacuum pump in dry, dust-free and rooms which are not exposed to vibrations.
6. Where possible, store the vacuum pump in its original transport packaging.
