Restriction of voltage range
SmartVane 70
:
Avoid the voltage range of 100 to 127 V +/-10 %, because due to the
max. permissible input current of 10 A and the temperature limits,
the full rotation speed is not achieved.

Limits of use of the product
2.5 Proper use
► Use the vacuum pump for vacuum generation only.
► When pumping media with an oxygen concentration level of > 21 %, only use perfluorinated, syn-
thetic oils (F4) as operating fluid.
► Use the vacuum pump only for pumping clean air or other, non-combustible and non-toxic gases.
► Adhere to the installation, commissioning, operating, and maintenance instructions.
► Do not use any accessory parts other than those recommended by Pfeiffer Vacuum.
2.6 Foreseeable improper use
Improper use of the product invalidates all warranty and liability claims. Any use that is counter to the
purpose of the product, whether intentional or unintentional, is regarded as improper use; in particular:
● Pumping of corrosive media
● Pumping radioactive media
● Pumping of condensable vapors
● Pumping of gases that introduce an ignition source to the suction chamber
● Pumping of gases that contain contamination such as particles, dust, or condensate
● Pumping explosive media
● Pumping of media with a propensity to sublimation
● Pumping of fluids
● Using the vacuum pump in potentially explosive atmospheres
● Using the vacuum pump outside the specified area of application
● Using the vacuum pump to generate pressure
● Using the vacuum pump with a vacuum flange that is open to the atmosphere
● Using in systems in which sporadic loads and vibrations or periodic forces act on the device
● Using the vacuum pump in strong electrical, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields
● Connecting to vacuum pumps and units that are not designed for this purpose according to their
operating instructions
● Connecting to units with exposed live parts
● Use of H1 or mineral oil as operating fluid with an oxygen concentration level of > 21 %. Mineral
oils are combustible and ignite at high temperatures and when they come into contact with pure
oxygen. These oils oxidize heavily and thus lose their lubricating capacity.
● Use of accessories or spare parts not listed in these operating instructions
● Using the vacuum pump as a climbing aid
● Use of operating fluids other than those specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum
