Important Safety Information
Note also the safety information given for the individual pumps and compo-
nents.
0.1 Mechanical Hazards
1
Avoid exposing any part of the human body to the vacuum.
2
The pressure in the pump system must not exceed atmospheric pres-
sure.
3
The pump system is intended for generating a vacuum only. If there is
a risk of an overpressure within the system and the pump, then it must
be protected against this, by way of an overpressure safety valve, for
example.
4
The maximum pressure on the inlet side must not exceed atmospheric
pressure (approximately 1013 mbar).
5
While the pump is running, the exhaust of the backing pump must not
be blocked in any way and the pressure in the exhaust line must not
exceed atmospheric pressure.
6
After having removed the Plexiglas panel do not reach into the turbo-
molecular pump since there is the risk of suffering injury at sharp
edges.
7
Operate the pump system only after having connected it to the corre-
sponding piping first.
8
The turbomolecular pump must, when removed from the pump sys-
tem, always be firmly attached to a vacuum chamber. If the mounting
is not sturdy enough, pump blockage could cause the pump to break
loose; internal pump components could be thrown in all directions.
Never operate the pump (in bench testing, for example) without proper
flanging to the vacuum chamber.
9
The construction on the TURBOLAB may weigh no more than 25 kg.
In case of greater weight, please inquire as to the load capacity of dif-
ferent TURBOLAB versions.
10
The pump system must only be detached from the vacuum chamber
and moved, provided the pump has been allowed to run down com-
pletely and is at a full standstill.
11
For the TURBOLAB 90 and 250 models, the safety strap must be
mounted around the pump.
0.2 Electrical Hazards
1
The system must only be connected to a power supply the specifica-
tions of which match those stated on the nameplate.
2
Do not open the switchbox and do not remove any covers from the
electrical equipment. Do not disconnect any earth connections.
