Sending of contaminated pumps or devices
No units will be accepted if they are contaminated with micro-biological, explosive
or radioactive substances. “Hazardous substances” are substances and com-
pounds in accordance with the hazardous goods directive (current version). If
pumps are contaminated or the declaration on contamination is missing, Pfeiffer
Vacuum performs decontamination at the shipper's expense.

Neutralise the pump by flushing it with nitrogen or dry air.
Î
Close all openings airtight.
Î
Seal the pump or unit in suitable protective film.
Î
Return the pump/unit only in a suitable and sturdy transport container and send
it in while following applicable transport conditions.
Exchange unit
The factory operating parameters are always preset with exchange units. If you use
changed parameters for your application, you have to set these again.
Service orders
All service orders are carried out exclusively according to our repair conditions for
vacuum units and components.
