10/80

Risks during installation
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock in the event of a fault
In the event of a fault, devices connected to the mains may be live. There is a danger to life from
electric shock when making contact with live components.
►Always keep the mains connection freely accessible so you can disconnect it at any time.
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.

►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
Danger of death from poisoning due to toxic gases being expelled without an exhaust line
Exhaust gases and vapors are released from the turbo pumping station unhindered during normal us-
age. In the case of processes with toxic media, there is a risk of injury and danger of death due to
poisoning.
►Note the corresponding regulations for handling toxic substances.
►Toxic process gases should be safely conveyed away via an exhaust line.
Safety
11/80

2.4 Limits of use of the product
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.
