6 Operation
6.1 Before switching on the pump
Check the operating fluid level in the sightglass.
Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the
mains voltage and frequency values.
Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure
1.5 bar absolute).
– Activate the shut-off valves in such a way that they open before or at the same
time as the pump is started.
Protect the pump sufficiently from taking in contaminants by means of suitable
precautions (e.g. dust filters); if necessary, check operating fluid regularly or replace at shorter intervals.
6.2 Switching on the pump
The pump can be switched on in any pressure range.
No special precautions are necessary when pumping dry gases. In order to attain
the lowest possible final pressures, the gas ballast valve should be closed.
CAUTION
Hot surface!
Danger of burns if hot parts are touched. Depending on the operating and ambient
conditions, the surface temperature of the pump may rise above 70 °C.
In this case, use suitable finger guards.
Switch-on pump via remote plug with bridge 50.2.
Standby The pump can be operated with reduced rotation speed (standby) during process
breaks or in cases with small load. Thus the power consumtion of the pump is reduced and the operating temperature of the pump lowered.
Bridge Pin 2 and Pin 4 at remote connection 50.1 (see p. 13, chap. 5.5);
– use customized remote plug (see p. 27, chap. 12).
NOTE
Improper operating status of the pump!
Simultaneously standby and temperature control mode leads to an increased operating temperature and therefore to switching off the pump.
In addition, do not use gas ballast while the pump is on standby.
16
6.3 Pumping condensable vapours
161
Should the process gases contain condensable gases present at high percentages,
the rotary vane pump must be operated with a gas ballast (i.e. with an open gas
ballast valve).
Bad final vacuum and damage to the pump!
Danger of condensation and corrosion due to exceeding the water vapour compatibility (see Technical data) during operation without a gas ballast or in case of insufficient
supply of flushing gas.
Only pump vapours when the pump is warm and the gas ballast valve is open.
When the process has been completed, allow the pump to continue running for
about 30 minutes with the vacuum flange closed and the gas ballast open for operating fluid regeneration purposes.
Operation
CAUTION
Gas ballast valve,
standard version
Temperature control
mode
To avoid condensation in the pump when pumping condensable vapours, air is periodically fed into the working chamber at the beginning of the compression phase
via the gas ballast valve 161.
Open gas ballast valve; to do so, turn cap 43 on the gas ballast valve 161 so that
the two holes line up.
Fig. 12: Operation with gas ballast valve 161
Operating the pump in temperature control mode will further improve the discharge of liquids when pumping large volumes of condensable vapours. The fan
is temporarily switched off to increase the operating temperature of the pump.
Open gas ballast valve; to do so, turn cap 43 on the gas ballast valve 161 so that
the two holes line up.

Operation
6.4 Switching off
Venting the vacuum
chamber
Maintaining the vacuum in the chamber
The pump can be switched off in any pressure range.
Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥ 250 mbar, then
the valve closes automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
Switch-off pump by disconnecting from mains or via remote bypass50.2.
CAUTION
Danger of backflow of operating fluid into the intake line!
Contamination of the connected vacuum system!
Vent the vacuum chamber within 30 s, regardless of the chamber size.
For a longer venting process, use an additional shut-off valve and shut off the intake
line after switching off the pump.
CAUTION
Danger of backflow of operating fluid into the intake line!
Contamination of the connected vacuum system!
Because the safety valve of the pump is not suitable for longer-term sealing, install
an additional shut-off valve in the intake line.
Shut off the intake line immediately after switching off the pump.

Decommissioning
8 Decommissioning
8.1 Shutting down for longer periods
Before shutting down the pump, observe the following procedure and adequately
protect the pump system against corrosion:
Switch off pump.
Change operating fluid(see p. 20, chap. 7.2).
Start the pump and allow the pump to warm up.
Fill up the pump with new operating fluid to the top edge of the sightglass.
Close vacuum flange and exhaust flange with locking caps.
8.2 Re-starting
Visually inspect the inner of the pump before taking it into operation. If there is evidence of rust on the parts of the pump which form the housing, then do not take
it into operation and contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service.
In accordance with DIN 7716 and the manufacturer's specifications we recommend
replacing the installed elastomer parts after 2 years.
If drying pearls were inserted then they should be removed now. Improper
handling can cause failure of the pump.
Emission of operating fluid!
Danger of the operating fluid being emitted at the exhaust flange if overfilled.
Drain the operating fluid to the normal level before restarting the pump.
8.3 Disposal
Products or parts thereof (mechanical and electrical components, operating fluids,
etc.) may cause environmental burden.
Safely dispose of the materials according to the locally applicable regulations.
