Magnetic coupling system defective or magnetic
field "broken away", contact Pfeiffer Vacuum
Service if necessary.
Attention! Magnetic field
:
If the magnetic field has "broken away", the ori-
entation of the magnets with respect to each oth-
er can only be re-established at standstill. If the
pump is left to operate with a "broken away"
magnetic field, demagnetisation will take place
and the coupling is destroyed.
