2.2 

First Inspection of Cryopump 

 

 

 

Unpack the package of the cryopump and check the followings.   

1.

 

Confirm there is neither damage nor a dent in externals and accessories of 
the pump, and is moreover no missing parts. 

2.

 

Remove the protective cover and confirm that there is no damage in the 
mounting flange or 80K baffle. (After the inspection, the protective cover 
should be put on again until the time of installation.) 

3.    Notice to “Hydrogen Vapor Pressure Gauge” users:

 

Make sure that the charge pressure shows 0.35

±

0.02 MPaG at room 

temperature. The pressure depends on the room temperature. If it is lower 
than 0.3 MPaG in ambient temperature range of 20

 

±

10

, there is a 

possibility of hydrogen leakage or defects of the pressure gauge.   

4.

 

For optional devices such as MBS-C CRYO-METER and DS-1 Diode Indicator, 
please refer to instruction manuals of each device for more information.   

 

If you find any missing parts or damages of the product, please contact our Service 
Engineering Division or the nearest Customer Support Center.
