VacIon Plus Pump Installation
Inspection Procedure
VacIon Plus pumps are evacuated, baked out, sealed and leak-
checked at below 1x10
-10 mbar prior shipping. The following
information and procedures can be used to optimize the vacuum
integrity of a VacIon Plus pump before installation.
Visual Inspection
Inspect the pump and magnet for physical damage which may have
occurred during shipment. Inspect the pinch-off seal. If it is open, the
pump is at atmospheric pressure.
WARNING! The pinch-off seal is extremely sharp. Be careful.
A VacIon Plus pump that has been exposed to atmosphere during
shipment, or while in storage, will operate properly if it has not been
damaged.
The pump is not harmed by such exposure, although it is good
practice to keep it under vacuum when not in use to exclude dust
and the accumulation of water vapor from the environment.
