►Provide adequate grounding for the device.
►After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
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 to life from poisoning where toxic process media leak from damaged connections
Sudden twisting of the turbopump in the event of a fault causes fittings to accelerate. There is the risk
of damaging on-site connections (e.g., fore-vacuum line) and resulting leaks. This results in leakage
of process media. In processes involving toxic media, there is a risk of injury and danger to life due to
poisoning.
►Keep masses connected to the turbopump as low as possible.
►Use flexible lines to connect to the turbopump where necessary.
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 danger to life through missing mains disconnection device

open vacuum chamber).
WARNING
Danger of cut injuries from unexpected start up.
The use of mating plugs of the electronic drive unit (accessories) enables the automatic run-up of the
vacuum pump as soon the power is turned on. Attaching mating plugs before or during the installa-
tion leads to the movement of parts hence the risk of cut injuries by sharp-edged in the exposed high
vacuum flange.
►Only connect mating plugs after the mechanical installation.
►Only switch on the vacuum pump immediately prior to operation.
WARNING
Risk of serious injury from oscillating, toppling or falling objects
Incorrect handling during the mechanical installation leads to a risk of oscillating, toppling or falling
heavy loads. There is a risk of crushing and impacts (e.g. on colliding flange connections). There is a
risk of injuries to limbs, up to and including bone fractures and head injuries.
►Use the intended eye bolts during the installation.
►When approaching the vacuum pump, be particularly careful at the counter flange.
►Note the center of gravity of the load.
WARNING
Danger of poisoning from toxic vapors
Igniting and heating synthetic operating fluid generates toxic vapors. Danger of poisoning if inhaled.
►Observe the application instructions and precautions.
►Do not allow tobacco products to come into contact with the operating fluid.

Safety
13/66

WARNING
Risk of burns on hot surfaces when using additional equipment for heating during operation
The use of additional equipment for heating the vacuum pump or for optimizing the process gener-
ates very high temperatures on surfaces that can be touched. There is a risk of burning.
►If necessary, set up a contact guard.
►If necessary, apply the warning stickers provided for this at the danger points.
►Ensure adequate cooling down before working on the vacuum pump or in its vicinity.
►Wear protective equipment, e.g., gloves.
WARNING
Risk of serious injury in the event of vacuum pump destruction due to over pressure
Gas entry with very high over pressure results in destruction of the vacuum pump. There is a risk of
serious injury due to ejected objects.
►Never exceed the permissible 1500 hPa (absolute) inlet pressure on the suction side or the vent-
ing and sealing gas connection.
►Make sure that high, process-related over pressures cannot directly enter the vacuum pump.
CAUTION
Risk of injuries due to contact with vacuum when venting
While venting the vacuum pump there is a risk of minor injuries due to the direct contact of body parts
with the vacuum, e.g. hematomas.
►Do not fully unscrew the venting screw out of the housing during venting.
►Keep a distance from automatic venting device, such as venting valves.
Risks during maintenance, decommissioning and in the event of malfunctions
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock during maintenance and service work

turbopump.
►Wait until the turbopump comes to a standstill (rotation speed f = 0).
►Switch the turbopump off properly.
►Secure the turbopump against re-start.
►Seal open connections immediately following removal, using the original protective cover.
CAUTION
Electric shock and damage to the vacuum pump and electronic drive unit due to improper dis-
connection of components
Even after the mains power is switched off, the turbopump continues to deliver electrical energy dur-
ing its run-down period. If the turbopump and electronic drive unit are disconnected prematurely,
there is the risk of electric shock from contact with live components. There is a risk of electric body
contact and, as a result, the destruction of electronic components.
►Never disconnect the turbopump and electronic drive unit from each other if power is still con-
nected or if the rotor is running.
►Monitor the turbopump rotation via the parameters available in the electronic drive unit (e.g.,
[P:398]).
►Wait until the turbopump comes to a standstill (rotation speed f = 0).
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
Danger to life from the turbopump breaking away in the event of a fault
Sudden jamming of the rotor generates high destructive torques in accordance with ISO 27892. If the
turbopump is not properly secured, it can shear off. 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.
►Follow the installation instructions for this turbopump.

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
►Use the turbopump only for generating vacuum.
►Use the turbopump only in combination with a suitable backing pump that can deliver up to the
required maximum fore-vacuum pressure.
►Use the turbopump only in closed indoor areas.
►Use the turbopump only for the evacuation of dry and inert gases.
►Exclusively use C-version turbopumps with sealing gas supply for the pumping of corrosive media.
