►Ensure the integration into an Emergency Off safety circuit.
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
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.
Safety
11/60

WARNING
Risk of scalding from suddenly escaping hot cooling water
The turbopump water connections are open to both sides. When connecting the cooling water supply,
there is a risk of scalding from suddenly escaping, hot cooling water at over pressure.
►Prior to installation, ensure that pressure is discharged from the cooling water system, and that it
is cooled down.
►Wear protective equipment, e.g., safety goggles and gloves.
Risks during operation
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
WARNING
Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices
Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work,
there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub-
stances causes environmental damage.
►Take suitable safety precautions and prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by toxic
process media.
►Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
►Wear protective equipment.
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.
Safety
12/60

WARNING
Risk of cuts on moving, sharp-edged parts when reaching into the open high vacuum connec-
tion
Incorrect handling of the turbopump before maintenance work results in hazardous situations with
risk of injury. There is a risk of cuts from accessing sharp-edged, rotating parts when removing the
turbopump.
►Wait until the turbopump comes to a standstill (rotation speed f=0).
►Switch the turbopump off properly.
►Secure the turbopump against re-start.
►Close open connections immediately following removal, using the original protective cover.
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.
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).
Risks in the event of malfunctions
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.
►Observe the requirements regarding stability and design of the counter flange.
►Use only original accessories or fixing material approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum for the installation.
Safety
13/60

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.

4 Transportation and Storage
4.1 Transport
WARNING
Danger of serious injury due to falling objects
Due to falling objects there is a risk of injuries to limbs through to broken bones.
►Take particular care and pay special attention when transporting products manually.
►Do not stack the products.
►Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
We recommend
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov-
er.
Instructions for safe transport
►Transport the turbopump only within the permissible temperature limits.
►Observe weight specified on the rating plate.
►Where possible, always transport or ship the turbopump in its original packaging.
►Always carry the turbopump with both hands.
►Remove the protective cover only immediately prior to installation.
4.2 Storage
We recommend
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging.
Storing the turbopump
1. Close all flange openings with the original protective caps.
2. Close all other connections (e.g. venting connection) with the respective original parts.
3. Store the turbopump only indoors within the permissible temperature limits.
4. In rooms with humid or aggressive atmospheres: Hermetically seal the turbopump together with a
drying agent in a plastic bag.

5 Installation
The installation of the turbopump and its fastening is of outstanding importance. The rotor of the turbo-
pump revolves at very high speed. In practice it is not possible to exclude the risk of the rotor touching
the stator (e.g. due to the penetration of foreign bodies into the high vacuum connection). The kinetic
energy released acts on the housing and on the anchoring of the turbopump within fractions of a sec-
ond.
Comprehensive tests and calculations conforming to ISO 27892 confirm the safety of the turbopump
both against crashes (destruction of the rotor blade) and against bursting (breakage of the rotor shaft).
The experimental and theoretical results are expressed in safety measures and recommendations for
the correct and safe fastening of the turbopump.
5.1 Preparatory work
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).
General notes for the installation of vacuum components
►Choose an installation location that permits access to the product and to supply lines at all times.
►Observe the ambient conditions given for the area of use.
►Provide the highest possible level of cleanliness during assembly.
►Ensure that flange components during installation are grease-free, dust-free and dry.
Select the installation location
1. Observe the instructions for transport to the installation location.
2. Make sure that there are sufficient cooling options for the turbopump.
3. Install suitable shielding if the surrounding magnetic fields exceed the permissible levels.
4. Install suitable shielding so that the irradiated thermal output does not exceed the permissible val-
ues when high temperatures occur due to the process.
5. Observe the permissible temperatures for the vacuum connection.
5.2 Connecting the high vacuum side
5.2.1 Designing the counter flange
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to incorrect counter flange design
Unevenness on the operator-side counter flange results in stresses in the vacuum pump housing,
even when properly attached. This can produce leakage or negative changes in running characteris-
tics.
►Adhere to the shape tolerances for the counter flange.
►Observe the maximum flatness deviations over the entire surface.
