2.2 Safety instructions

All safety instructions in this document are based on the results of the risk assessment carried out in accordance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC Annex I and EN ISO 12100 Section 5. Where applicable, all life cycle phases of the product were taken into account.

Risks during 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.

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.

10/60

Safety

WARNING

Danger to life from electric shock due to improperly performed installation

The device uses voltage that is dangerous on contact as the electrical power supply. Potentially fatal situations arise due to unsafe or incorrectly installation when reaching into the device.

►Ensure that the system is safely integrated into an emergency off safety circuit.

►Do not carry out any unauthorized modifications or changes to the device.

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 turbopump 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.

CAUTION

Risk of injury from bursting due to high pressure in the exhaust line

Faulty or insufficient exhaust lines cause hazardous situations, e.g. increase in exhaust pressure. There is a risk of bursting. It is not possible to rule out the risk of injuries due to broken pieces flying around, high escaping pressure and damage to the equipment.

►Lay the exhaust line without shut-off units.

►Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials of the product.

►Check the exhaust line regularly for correct function.

Risks during operation

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 usage. 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.

11/60

Safety

CAUTION

Risk of injury from bursting due to high pressure in the exhaust line

Faulty or insufficient exhaust lines cause hazardous situations, e.g. increase in exhaust pressure. There is a risk of bursting. It is not possible to rule out the risk of injuries due to broken pieces flying around, high escaping pressure and damage to the equipment.

►Lay the exhaust line without shut-off units.

►Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials of the product.

►Check the exhaust line regularly for correct function.

Risks during maintenance

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 turbopump 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 =0).

►Remove the mains plug from the device.

►Secure the device against unintentional restarting.

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 substances 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.

Risks during disposal

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 substances 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.

Risks in the event of malfunctions

WARNING

Danger to life from the turbopump breaking away in the event of a fault

Sudden blocking of the rotor generates high destructive torques in accordance with ISO 27892. If the turbopump is not properly secured, it will tear off. The energy released in this way can propel the entire turbopump or shattered pieces from its interior through the surrounding area. Potentially dangerous gases may escape. There is a risk of serious injury, potentially even fatal, and significant equipment 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.
