controller installation
GB 00731 - Edition 14 - Sept. 12
Our products are designed to comply with current EEC regulations. Users
making their own modifications to the product are liable to break its
compliance with these regulations, degrade its EMC (electromagnetic
compatibility) rating, and make it unsafe to use. The manufacturer
declines all liability for the consequences of such operations.
Heavy product:
This product needs special handling precautions due to its weight.
It should be removed from its crate only by staff trained in heavy
materials handling:
- use the lifting rings provided with the product,
- use slings from a length over 500 mm.
- tighten the pump to the handling device.
The maker can not be held liable for the consequences of using other
rings.
Risk of tilting: although the product meets EEC safety regulations , it is
advisable to guard against the risk of tilting during handling, installation,
and use. (
chapter A for the location of the center of gravity).
Handling
Pump connection to the installation:
It is strongly recommended to secure the maglev turbopump installation
to prevent any safety hazard to the user in standard operating conditions :
(
B 300).
Risk of cut injury:
The access to the rotor of a turbomolecular pump with an unconnected inlet
port is dangerous. In the meantime, if the pump is not switched on, it may
be driven by another pump in operation.
Always connect the pump inlet port before starting the pump.
Make sure all parts and chambers connected to the inlet, exhaust and
purge of the maglev pump can withstand a negative pressure of 100 kPa
below atmospheric pressure and that they are impervious to damage
from vacuum (seals, etc.).
The turbomolecular pumps can’t evacuate at atmospheric pressure, they
are connected to a roughing pump. For a transient period, they can start
to run at atmospheric pressure.
Do not expose any part of the human body to vacuum. The product
is supplied with the inlet and exhaust sealed. Remove these blanking
plates when you are ready to connect the product on your vacuum
system. As well as, don’t operate the product unless the inlet and
exhaust are connected to a vacuum and exhaust pumping line.
