low.
5.2Connection to the pumping line
Risk of crushing or cutting related to the rotating parts
Do not expose any part of the human body to the vacuum. The product is supplied with
the inlet and exhaust sealed.
Remove these blanking plates when you are ready to connect the product to your
vacuum system.
Do not operate the product unless the inlet and exhaust are connected to a vacuum
and exhaust pumping line.
Use accessories on the inlet and exhaust lines whose materials and sealing proper-
ties are compatible with gases being used.
Provide in the pumping line, accessories to isolate the pump from the vacuum and ex-
haust line, to make the maintenance easier (inlet and exhaust isolation valves, purges,…).
Remove the blanking plates blocking the inlet and exhaust ports.
Keep the blanking plates, screws and washers for reuse when transporting the pump.
Ensure that no screws, washers or other objects are dropped into the pump inlet.
Fit flexible flanged bellows in the pumping line to reduce the transmission of vibra-
tions.
14
WARNING
The O-rings located under the blanking plates are compatible with standard applications.
Other types of connection accessories are available in the product catalogue. The inlet
and exhaust connections must not cause stress that could lead to leaks in the pumping
line.
5.2.1Connection at pump inlet
Limit of operation
Make sure that the parts or chambers connected to the inlet of our products withstand
a negative pressure of 1·10
When the pump stops, the pressure rises at the inlet. This rise depends on the
inlet volume.
If necessary, install an isolation valve on the inlet which closes when the pump stops.
The product is not designed to withstand loads on its inlet flange which may compromise
stability.

hPa in relation to atmospheric pressure.
NOTICE
Installation
Mechanically attach the vacuum chamber separately from the pump.
It may be necessary to install a filter on the inlet (particulate filter or (see 11) condens-
ables filter).
To improve pumping speed, the pumping line must be as short as possible and its internal diameter must not be less than the pump inlet flange.
Use only dry parts and clean, grease-free, dust-free pipelines.
5.2.2Connection at pump exhaust
Limit of operation
Ensure that all components in the exhaust pipeline have maximum pressure rating
which is greater than the highest pressure that can be generated in your system.
G version
Health risk in case of contact with toxic substances
Exhaust of corrosive, reactive, flammable, pyrophoric or oxidizing process gases may
result in severe injury or death.
Always connect the pump exhaust to an exhaust extraction system.
NOTICE
DANGER
5.2.3Connecting the purge circuit
The gas purge consists of injecting an inert gas into the pump.
In this manual, the inert gas will be called 'nitrogen', as it is the most commonly used gas.
For more information about the type of purge gas, contact your service center Pfeiffer
Vacuum.
15
Installation
DANGER
Risk of explosion
If pyrophoric materials above the LEL (lower explosive limit) are sent to the pump, the
nitrogen supply must make it possible to dilute this concentration.
Ensure there is a sufficient flow of nitrogen to lower the concentration below the LEL.
Provide in addition an interlock to ensure that gas flow towards the pump is stopped
when nitrogen is lost.
NOTICE
Risk of nitrogen supply failure
If loss of purge flow creates a significant risk for the process:
Control the nitrogen supply using an external system able to take over in case of fail-
ure.
G versionA gas purge circuit protects the low and high pressure bearings and dilutes trace
amounts of corrosive gases.
Connect the inert gas pipe to the 1/4 BSPT connector provided for this purpose (flex-
ible or rigid pipe supplied by the customer).
Install as close as possible from pump gas port, an isolation valve on the inert gas
pipe, to allow pump performance recovering when the gas supply is not used (see
12.2).
Inject inert gas purge with maximum relative pressure of 300 hPa (see 12.2).
A filtered dry nitrogen supply with the characteristics defined is required for opti-
mum performance (see 12.3.2).
5.3Leak test
Leak-tightness of the equipment
It is the user's responsibility to ensure this level of leak tightness is maintained, especially when dangerous gases are pumped. The operator must maintain this level of tightness, particularly when pumping dangerous gases. Proceed as follows:
Perform a leak test on the entire pumping line after installation.
Carry out regular checks to ensure that there are no traces of the gases pumped in
the surrounding environment and that no air is entering the pumping line while the
pump is running.
For more information concerning leak tests, please contact your service center.
5.4Electrical connection
Electric shock hazard in case of contact
When the product's mains switch is set at O, some internal components still have an
electrical charge.
Make sure that the mains connection is always visible and accessible so that it can
be unplugged at any time.
Disconnect the power cable from all power sources before starting any work on the

Electrical safetyThe pump is equipped with an I/O mains switch that isolates the product from power line
when it is on O position.
The pump is equipped with a frequency converter in compliance with EC standards that
allows pump running in high and low voltages (see 5.4.1). The frequency converter is
protected against short-circuits from power line. Once this safety activated, power is
switched off and the pump is put in a safe condition. To restart the pump, you must:
switch power off, mains switch to O position,
delete the origin of the fault, then,
wait for about 15 seconds,
then, switch power on , to I position.
The pump is equipped with thermal sensors that prevent pump start-up at certain tem-
peratures (see 6.1).
5.4.1Customer electrical installation protection
The pump is connected to the mains with the delivered mains power cable. The earth
connection (frequency converter, cover, pump) is made via the power cable connected
to a compliant electrical installation.
When the mains power cable is provided by the customer:
Use an EEC cable in compliance with IEC 60227 and IEC 60245 standards with the
following characteristics:
– heatproof (because it can come into contact with hot surfaces),
– with conducting wire section suitable with the voltage (see 12.3.3),
– and which one of the wire ensures grounding of the pump.
Installation protection with circuit breaker
The user must supply the pump from facilities equipped with main circuit breaker, curve
D (IEC 60947-2), in accordance with local regulations and with at least a 10 kA short circuit cut-off capacity. This protection device should be in close proximity to the pump (no
further than 7 m) within line of sight of the pump.

6.1Prerequisites to use
Risk associated with process gases
The user and/or integrator of the product is/are fully responsible for the operational safety conditions of the equipment. The manufacturer has no control over the types of gases
this pump is exposed to. Frequently process gases are toxic, flammable, corrosive, explosive and/or otherwise reactive. It is the user and/or the integrator's responsibility to
follow the necessary safety requirements. Toxic gases can cause serious injury or
death. Operators and users must:
Take the appropriate safety recommendations to prevent injury. Consult the respon-
sible department for instructions and safety information.
Hazardous gases from the pump can cause serious injury or death. Regula-
tions require to connect the pump’s exhaust to a facility hazardous gas exhaust system which incorporates appropriate filters, scrubbers, etc. This system
must meet all air and water regulations.
Check that the pump is correctly connected to the equipment (see Installation).
Contact the service center for further information.
Operation
WARNING
WARNING
Electric shock hazard
Some components have capacitors charged to over 60VDC. When power is switched
off, they maintain this charge for some time. Residual voltages from the filter capacitors
can cause electric shocks all the way back to the mains plug.
Wait 5 minutes after power-off before commencing any work on the product.
DANGER
Risk due to auto-restart
When the pump has been stopped following a temperature rise, the pump automati-
cally restarts when the ambient temperature returns to within the permissible
range.
Provide a device integrated with the host tool equipment to warn or avoid this auto-
restart.
Take all the measures required to prevent risks resulting from this type of operation.
WARNING
Increased noise emission
At the beginning of the chamber’s pumping and at high pressure operation, the pump
noise level may temporarily exceed 70 dB (A).
Connect the exhaust port to a chimney or to an exhaust pipe.
Install an external silencer on the pump exhaust (see Accessories chapter).
Wear hearing protection.
NOTICE

Operation
NOTICE
Thermal safety
The pump is fitted with temperature sensors which prevent operation or start-up when
the temperature of the pump body is < 12 °C or > 40 °C. In order for the pump to operate:
Operate the pump within the required temperature range (see 12.3.1).
Avoid sudden changes of ambient temperature when the pump is running.
The pump automatically restarts when the thermal safety fault disappears.
Before each switching on:
Check that the pump inlet is connected to the pumping line.
Check that exhaust pipe line is not clogged and that all the valves in the exhaust sys-
tem are open.
Connect the pump to the mains supply.
Check that the inlet pressure is not higher than atmospheric pressure. A too high pres-
sure can damage the product.

6.4Gas ballast operation
PrincipleThe user must take the appropriate measures in case of condensable vapors pumping
or when gas ballast use is required (see 6.2).
When condensable vapors or moist air are being pumped, gas is compressed beyond its
saturated vapor pressure in the compression phase. It can condense, impairing pump
performance.
The gas ballast can be used to inject a certain quantity of air (neutral or dry gas) into the
pump during the ‘compression’ phase so that the partial pressure of the pumped gas is
less than its saturated vapor pressure at the temperature of the pump. Condensation is
therefore impossible if this limit is not reached.
The saturated vapor pressure of a body is higher when the system is hot than when it is
cold; therefore, the pump must reach operating temperature before pumping condensable vapors.
Using the gas ballast increases the ultimate pressure of the pump as well as the
temperature.
CommissioningTo better pump with condensable vapors or moist air, it is necessary to operate with a hot
pump. Proceed as follows:
Operation
The pump has reached the selected speed.
speed is not reached.
● Presence of a default which prevents the pump running.
is too low, or too high (imminent shutdown or starting
impossible).
Isolate the pump from the system (inlet isolation valve closed) and allow it to operate
for 1 hour with the gas ballast open.
Then, open the isolation valve: the pump operates in the best conditions by reducing
the risk of condensation inside the pump.
RecommendationsTo ensure the proper discharge by the exhaust of condensable vapors, avoid to connect
an ES25S type silencer.
The gas ballast can be automated. It is an accessory available upon request (see 11).
Besides, the gas ballast could be supplied with filtered dry air. Contact us.
