Safety
10/54

Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Power supply packs that are not specified or are not approved will lead to severe injury to death.
►Make sure that the power supply pack meets the requirements for double isolation between
mains input voltage and output voltage, in accordance with IEC 61010-1 IEC 60950-1 and
IEC 62368-1.
►Make sure that the power supply pack meets the requirements in accordance with IEC 61010-1
IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1.
►Where possible, use original power supply packs or only power supply packs that correspond
with the applicable safety regulations.
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
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 danger to life through missing mains disconnection device
The vacuum pump and electronic drive unit are not equipped with a mains disconnection device
(mains switch).
►Install a mains disconnection device according to SEMI-S2.
►Install a circuit breaker with an interruption rating of at least 10,000 A.
Safety
11/54

WARNING
Risk of injury due to incorrect installation
Dangerous situations may arise from unsafe or incorrect installation.
►Do not carry out your own conversions or modifications on the unit.
►Ensure the integration into an Emergency Off safety circuit.
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.
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 and decommissioning
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock during maintenance and service work
The device is only completely de-energized when the mains plug has been disconnected and the tur-
bopump is at a standstill. There is a danger to life from electric shock when making contact with live
components.
►Before performing all work, switch off the main switch.
►Wait until the turbopump comes to a standstill (rotation speed f = 0).
►Remove the mains plug from the device.
►Secure the device against unintentional restarting.
Safety
12/54

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.
►Seal open connections immediately following removal, using the original protective cover.
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 poisoning from contact with harmful substances
The operating fluid reservoir and parts of the turbopump may contain toxic substances from pumped

►Observe the operating fluid safety data sheet.
►Dispose of the operating fluid reservoir according to applicable regulations.
Risks in the event of malfunctions
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.

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.
Recommendation
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov-
er.
Safe transport of the product
►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

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 blades) 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 limits 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 Fastening turbopump to bottom part
NOTICE
Damage to the vacuum pump due to force acting on the high vacuum side
When fastened to the pump bottom part and simultaneously attached to the high vacuum side with a
rigid pipe connection, there is risk of reactive forces acting on the turbopump. This can produce me-
chanical loads up to and including destruction of the turbopump.
►Create a flexible connection to the high vacuum flange.
►Observe the requirements for fastening the turbopump to the bottom part.
►If the rotor blocks suddenly, make sure that all the torques generated are absorbed by the
mounting plate on the operator side.
