The diaphragm pump can be applied in all areas where an oil-
free, dry vacuum is required.
Particularly the pump is suitable as backing pump for many
Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps in applications involving light
gas loads only.

–Pumpingstations
–Plants
Research
Laboratories

3. Installation
3.1. Setting Up The Pump And Location
➡Place pump on a smooth, even surface.
➡Anchor the pump if it is to be erected in a stationary positi-
on.
➡Avoid mechanical stresses due to rigid connections. Insert
elastic hoses or resilient elements as couplings between
the pump and rigid pipes.
➡Anchoring is not necessary if the pump is not erected in a
stationary position.
➡Maximum ambient temperature +12 ... +40 °C.
➡Where rack installation is involved, ensure adequate venti-
lation. If pump is installed above 1000 m above mean sea
level check compatibillity with applicable safety require-
ments, e. g. DIN VDE 0530 (motor may overheat due to
insufficient cooling).
3.2. Connecting The Vacuum Side
– Remove locking cap on intake connection.
– Make connection between the vacuum system and pump
as short as possible.
–Connectpumpwithintakeconnectiontotheapparatus.
–Ifliquid-whichwouldgeneratevapours-ispresentinthe
system to be evacuated, a condensate trap must be fitted
upstream of the pump.
3.3. Connecting The Exhaust Side
Pressure can rise to dangerous levels in exhaust
lines. Therefore, lay exhaust side lines without
shut-off units. Do not connect the exhaust side
with a closed system on account of the danger
of bursting.
In certain applications, exhaust gases and vapours can be
very hot and represent a health and/or environment hazard.
Lay lines from the pump sloping downwards so that
condensate cannot run back into the pump, otherwise fit a
separator.
3.4. Connecting To Mains Power
The pump is driven by AC motors with the following possible
variants:
230 V + 5% / -10%, 50 Hz
120 V + 5% / -10%, 60 Hz
Power connections must comply with local
regulations. Voltage and frequency information
given on the rating plate must correspond to the
mains voltage and frequency values. The pump
may only be connected to mains current with
earthed conductor.
WARNING
CAUTION
Pump versions where the thermostatic winding
protection protrudes must be appropriately
wired to ensure the motor is protected.
CAUTION
Normal version

4.3 Intermittent Operations
To prolong the life of diaphragm pumps, intermittent
operations can be selected with lesser gas throughputs of
< 0.18 mbar l/s. This means that, dependent on the turbo
pump power take-up, the backing pump will be switched on
and off. Turbo pump power take-up is dependent on the fore-
vacuum pressure and gas throughput.
–Bycomparingthepowertake-upwithanupperanda
lower limit value, the relative switch-on duration with
lesser gas throughputs can be reduced to approx. 1 to 60%
–Toavoidtoofrequentswitchingon,thebuffervolumein
the fore-vacuum line should amount to <0.5 liter from
approx. 0.018 mbar l/s.
Possible intermittent operations variations are shown in the
following diagram:

4. Operations
4.1. Important Information
Before starting, ensure that impermissibly high
pressures cannot build up on the pressure side.
Interchanging the connections causes
dangerous excess pressure levels.
The pumps should only start, when the pressu-
re difference is max. 1 bar between admission and exhaust,
because the motor will be blocked and damage.
When the pump is running, surfaces and motor
casing become hot.
WARNIN G
CAUTION
4.2 Switching ON/OFF The Pump
The pump can be switched on and off at all times.
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of
liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves will
be damaged, if liquids are pumped in significant
amount over lengthy periods!
If the pump is subjected to condensates it
should be allowed to run for a few minutes
under atmospheric pressure before switching
off.
CAUTION

5. What To Do In The Case Of Breakdowns ?
PPrroobblleemmPPoossssiibblleeccaauusseeRReemmeeddyy
Pump does not attain final pressure • Condensate in the pump • Run pump for a longer period under
atmospheric pressure
• Valves/diaphragms defective/dirty • Clean or replace valves and diaphragms,
see section 6.
• Leak in system • Repair leak
Unusual operating noises Valves/diaphragms defective See maintenance in section 6.
Dirt in the working chamber Clean working chamber.
Silencer loose or missing Check silencer; clean or replace.
Valves defective Change valves.
Motor fan defective Change motor fan.
Con-rod or motor bearing defective Inform Pfeiffer-Service.
Pump does not start No mains voltage Check power supply.
Phase failure Check fuse.
Motor overheating Allow the motor to cool down and
depress mains switch off/on.
Ambient temperature < 12 °C Warm pump.
Dirty valves/diaphragms See maintenance in section 6.
Over-pressure in the exhaust line Open exhaust line (open exhaust valve).
Pump switches off • Sticking diaphragms • Clean pump (see section 6.)
• Wrong mains voltage • Correct as per rating plate

6. Maintenance
6.1. Precautionary Measures During Mainten-
ance Work
Whenever working on the pump ensure the
motor cannot get switched on.
If necessary, remove pump from the system for
inspection. Before dismantling allow the pump
to cool down.
➡Only dismantle the pump as far is necessary to effect
repairs.
➡Use only benzin or the like for cleaning. Do not use
solvents.
6.2. Cleaning And Replacing Valves And
Membranes
Under normal operating conditions, the pump is maintenance
free. The valves and the diaphragms are wear parts. If the
rated ultimate vacuum is no longer achieved, the pump interi-
or, the diaphragms and the valves must be cleaned and the
diaphragms and valves must be checked for cracks or other
damage.
Depending on individual cases it may be efficient to check
and clean the pump heads on a regular basis. In case of
normal wear the lliiffeettiimmeeoofftthheeddiiaapphhrraaggmmssaannddvvaallvveessiiss>>
1100000000ooppeerraattiinngghhoouurrss.
There can be different numbers of washers 17
in each membrane head. Ensure the correct
assignment for mounting when dismantling the
membrane heads. Don’t confuse the washers
17.
6.3. Dismantling The Membrane Head
➡Allow the pump to cool down before dismantling.
➡Using an SW 14 key, unscrew direct screw joint (20) of
interhead connection (10) on diaphragm head 1 (see marks
on the housing).
➡As far as possible place pump on its side so that the head
to be dismantled points up.
➡Using an SW 3 key, unscrew the four Allan head screws
(11) and remove head cover (12), taking care with the two
valve plates (13) and sealing rings (14).
➡Remove intermediate plate (15).
➡Use a small screwdriver to carefully ease out diaphragm
(16) and manually unscrew from the connecting rod (right-
hand thread). Look out for possible washers (17).
➡Clean all parts with alcohol and examine diaphragms,
valves and seals for possible damage and renew as
necessary. If a new diaphragm is to be fitted, the washers
(17) of the old diaphragm must be used again otherwise
the pump will not attain the required pressure.
CAUTION
CAUTION
6.4. Assembling The Membrane Head
➡Assemble all parts in reverse order. The connecting rod
should be positioned in the upper dead point when fitting
the diaphragm. Ensure correct positioning of all parts.
➡Check correct sealing ring seating.
➡Re-make hose connection and re-tighten direct screw
joint (20).
➡Test pump for function.
