3.4. Connecting The Exhaust Side
Pressure can rise to dangerous levels in
exhaust lines.
Lay exhaust lines without built-in shutoff
devices. If a shut-off device is installed for
internal operating reasons or if there is a risk of
excess pressure developing in the lines, official accident
prevention regulations must be complied with.
The exhaust line diameter should not be less than 63 DN.
The line from the pump must be laid with a downward
gradient so that condensate is prevented from flowing back
into the pump. Otherwise a trap must be installed.
Auspuffleitung nicht kleiner als DN 100 von der Pumpe aus
fallend verlegen, damit kein Kondensat in die Pumpe
zurückläuft. Andernfalls Abscheider einbauen.
Der Auspuffdruck darf 1,5 bar nicht überschreiten.
Expelled gases and vapours can represent a
hazard to health and/or the environment.
For this reason the relevant regulations must
always be complied with when working with
toxic substances. Only officially approved filters
may be used for the separation of such substances. This also
applies when handling toxic or chemically unstable gases
and to gases susceptible to polymerisation or to the formation
of peroxide (see 9. Accessories).
3. Installation
3.1. Preparations For Installation
Do not carry out any unauthorised conversions
or modifications on the pump.
Fill up with operating fluid before operating the
first time (included in a separate pack in the
delivery consignment). When transporting use
only the eyebolts provided for the purpose.
3.2. Pump Assembly And Location
➡ Where stationary installation is involved, anchor the pump
on site.
➡ Sight glass 44 on the front side must be visible and gas
ballast valve readily accessible.
When filled with operating fluid, do not tilt the
pump otherwise operating fluid could escape
via the exhaust opening.
➡ When installing the pump in a closed housing, ensure
there is sufficient air circulation.
3.3. Connecting The Vacuum Side
➡ Keep the connection between the vacuum chamber and
pump as short as possible.
➡ Remove all scaling and loose particles from welded lines
prior to assembly.
– To protect the pump, separators, filters and cooling traps
etc.(see Section 9. Accessories) can be fitted upstream of
the pump. However, the conductance value of the
accessory causes a reduction in volume flow rate.
Where rotary vane vacuum pumps are
anchored, no forces from the piping system
should be allowed to act on the pump.
Suspend, decouple or support all piping
concerned with the pump.

regulations. Voltage and frequency information
given on the rating plate must correspond to
the mains voltage and frequency values.
When the electrical connections have been
completed, carry out the earthed conductor
test.
The pump must be disconnected from the power before
opening the terminal box.
When switching on for the first time, check the direction of
rotation:
Checking The Direction Of Rotation
Check the direction of rotation of the pump
before filling up with operating medium.
➡ Remove blank flange on the exhaust flange,
– do not take off sieve strainer from vacuum flange 1 and
exhaust flange 2.
➡ Switch on pump for a short time (max. 3 seconds).

The Three Phase Current Motor Circuit
The three phase motor winding consists of three identical
coils.
Delta Connection
The three coils are connected in series with the connection
point connected to the mains. The voltage of each coil is the
same as the mains voltage whereas the mains current is the
cube root of the coil current. Delta connections are denoted
by the symbol ∆∆.
The voltage between the mains supply lines is called mains
voltage. The mains current is the current which flows in the
supply lines.
Star Connection
The ends of the three coils are connected at the star center.
The terminal voltage is the cube root of the coil voltage; the
mains and the coil current are the same. Star connections are
denoted by the symbol Y.
A star connection three phase motor for 400 V mains voltage
has a coil voltage of 230 V.

4.1. Filling Up And Checking The Operating
Fluid
Standard version pumps are tested with operating fluid P3. Guarantees relating to attainment
of final pressures and trouble free functioning
apply only providing this operating fluid is used.
The delivery consignment contains sufficient operating fluid
for one filling (valid only for P3).
Pumps for special applications (e.g. for pumping corrosive
gases) can be operated with special operating fluids such as
F5 and other Pfeiffer Vacuum operating fluids. The use of
such operating fluids requires prior authorisation from the
manufacturer.
P3 must be disposed of in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
➡ Remove operating fluid filler screw 42.
➡ Fill up with operating fluid included in the consignment
(only for P3); refer to rating plate for correct quantity.
➡ Replace operating fluid filler screw 42; be careful with the
O-ring.
➡ Check operating fluid level only when the pump is warm
and running and vacuum connection 1 and gas ballast
valve are closed.
➡ The level of operating fluid must always be between the
top and the middle of the sight glass 44.
➡ Topping up operating fluid is possible when the pump is
running and in final vacuum operations.
➡ In non-stop operations check operating fluid daily,
otherwise whenever the pump is switched on.

4.2. Switching The Pump ON And OFF
When operating the pump gets hot.
The pump can be switched ON and OFF in any pressure
range. On switching off, the built-in high vacuum safety valve
to the vacuum plant closes automatically and vents the pump.
Minimum start-up temperature, in compliance with German
Industrial Standard DIN 28 426: + 12 °C.
On switching OFF (intake pressure < 750 mbar) the built-in
high vacuum safety valve to the vacuum chamber closes
automatically and the pump is vented.
4.3. Operating The Pump With Gas Ballast
If condensable vapors are pumped off, the pump must always
be operated with gas ballast. If the condensation exceeds the
water vapor capacity of the pump, a condenser should be
connected upstream. If no condenser is connected, the
condensate produced due to the difference in temperature
between the pump housing and pump body must be drained
at drain plug 43. The condensate produced inside the pump
can be observed at sight glass 44 as a rising operating fluid
level.
4.3.1. Standard Model
Gas ballast valve 45 is fitted with a sliding sleeve which, when
pushed towards the pump, opens the valve and when pushed
away from the pump, shuts the valve. Intermediate settings
are not possible.
4.3.2 Corrosive Gas Model
Gas ballast valve 45 is fitted with a dosing device and a
flushing gas connection. It has a sliding sleeve which opens
the valve when pushed towards the pump and shuts the valve
when pushed away from the pump. The dosing device is
closed when the groove in the dosing screw is in the horizontal position; in the vertical position the dosing device is fully
open. A flow meter enables any intermediate gas volume
setting between fully open and fully closed to be made.
Flushing gas must be connected when
operating corrosive gas version pumps. The gas
ballast valve must be open. Flushing gas
pressure may not exceed 1.5 bar. Our
specialists would be pleased to give advice
regarding the type and volume of flushing gas required.

When the pump is at operating temperature, the pressure
gauge 182 indicates a operating fluid pressure between 0.8
and 2.5 bar. At a cold start (approx. 12°C), the pressure in the
pressure gauge may rise up to max. 6 bar. When the pump
temperature rises, the pressure drops to normal.
With operating medium F5, the pressure of the pump at
working temperature is set between 3 and 5 bar. When cold
starting, pressure rises upto 15 bar.
In continuous operation the level of operating fluid must be
checked daily at the sight glass 44 and the pressure at
pressure gauge 182.

4.5. Pumping Off Vapours
To prevent their condensation in the pump,
vapours should only be pumped off with the
pump at operating temperature and the gas
ballast valve 45 open.
Observe pump water vapour tolerance levels
(see Section 8.0 Technical Data). When the process has been
completed, allow the pump to continue running for approx. 30
minutes for operating medium cleaning purposes.
CAUTION

➡ Drain off remaining operating fluid.
➡ In the case of serious contamination, the operating fluid
will have to be changed several times.
➡ Screw in operating fluid drain screw 43 with O-ring.
When carrying out servicing work, take the following
precautions:
Always ensure the pump cannot be switched
on when carrying out any work on the pump. If
necessary, remove the pump from the system to
carry out inspection work.
➡ Only dismantle the pump as far as is necessary in order to
repair defects.
➡ Dispose of used operating fluid in compliance with local
regulations.
➡ When working with synthetic operating media, toxic
substances and substances contaminated with corrosive
gases, the relevant instructions governing their use must
be observed.
➡ Only use benzine or similar agents for cleaning pump
parts. Do not use soluble cleaning agents.
6.1. Changing The Operating Fluid
The rate of deterioration of the operating fluid depends on the
pump applications.
➡ The level of deterioration of organic operating fluids (for
example P3) can be read off from the colour scale in
accordance with DIN 51578 on the supplementary sheet
PK 800 219 BN/B, on request.
– The colour scale enables precise colour determination.
➡ Fill a specimen in a test tube or some similar vessel and
test by holding against the light.
➡ Where the discolouration is dark yellow to red brown
(equivalent to 4 ... 5 on the scale) change operating fluid.
Where organic operating fluids, for example P3,
are involved, the operating fluid should be
changed every 8000 h; at least once a year!
Replacing The Operating Fluid
➡ Switch off the pump.
➡ Unscrew operating fluid drain screw 43 and drain
operating fluid.
The operating fluid temperature can be as high
as 80 °C. During maintenance and repair work,
process related toxic gases and vapours can
escape from the operating fluid which may
become contaminated with harmful substances
(radioactive, chemical etc.).
Disposal of used operating fluid is subject to the relevant
regulations.
➡ Screw in operating fluid drain screw 43.
➡ Allow pump to run for about 10 seconds with open vacuum
flange.
6. Maintenance
6.2. Cleaning The Oil Filter
Also clean the oil filter 181 every time you change the pump fluid.
➡ Unscrew screws 184 and remove the cover 183, take care
with the o-ring.
➡ Unscrew screws 185 and lift the oil filter 181 out of the
pump on flange 186.
➡ Dismantle the oil filter as shown below and clean the star-
shaped filtering sieve 187 in benzine (naphtha) or similar
cleaning agent.
➡ Reassemble in reverse order.
Filling in operating fluid
➡ Check the drain plug 43 for tight seat.
➡ Remove operating fluid filler screw 42.
➡ Fill up the new operating fluid; refer to rating plate for
correct quantity (UNO 250 A --> 30 l, DUO 250 A --> 23 l).
➡ Replace operating fluid filler screw 42; be careful with the
O-ring.
➡ Check operating fluid level at the sight glass as per
section 4.1..

6.6. Shutting Down For Longer Periods
Should the pump have to be shut down for an longer period,
the complete pumping system must be adequately protected
against corrosion.
➡ Switch off pump.
➡ Unscrew operating fluid drain screw 43 and drain
operating fluid as per Section 6.1.
➡ Screw in operating fluid drain screw 43; keep an eye on
the position of the O-ring.
➡ Allow pump to run for about 10 seconds with open vacuum
flange. .
➡ Drain off remaining operating fluid.
➡ Fill up pump with fresh operating fluid:
Filling: UNO 250 A --> 21 l
DUO 250 A --> 18 l
If this amount of operating fluid is filled in, the level is
extremely high but this is necessary to protect all parts of the
pump against corrosion.
Before operating, the operating fluid must be
reduced to its normal level.
