Safety instructions for product use
Before using pump and controller, make sure that the mechanical and electrical
connections have been made according to the safety recommendations: refer
to chapter B from pump operating instructions and to associated controller
operating instruction manual.
It is highly recommended to use:
an inlet screen at the pump inlet;
an isolation valve between the chamber to be pumped and the pump;
an isolation valve between the pump and the roughing pump.
Located on the controller, this label indicates that the controller musn’t be
disconnected when the pump is running.
Do not operate the pump until it is securely fixed. If the pump seizes,
the stored energy of the rotor may cause further damage and injury to
people. (
B300).
Risk of cut
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.
Specific operating conditions may exist that require extra caution from
users due to the high temperatures generated (outer surfaces > 70 °C): wear
protective gloves and leave the pump to cool before working on the product.
Pump damage
Make sure that exhaust pipe line and pump internal parts are not clogged
by process by-products (e.g. condensable products ...). If exhaust line is not
clear, contact the customer service.
As loss of cooling water creates a significant risk for the pump, regularly
check the right operation of the cooling circuit.
Risk of electrical shock.
The turbopump and the controller must only be disconnected from each other
when the turbopump is completely at rest and the controller disconnected
from the power supply.
Never unplug the pump by disconnecting the main cable. Only the authorized
and trained technicians can perform intervention on the product.
Risk of injury by cutting
.
The inlet of the pump musn’t be disconnected as long as the rotor is moving
and without having disconnecting the power line cable.
