Operation
6.1
Commissioning
Important settings for turbopumping stations are preprogrammed in the turbopump's
electronic drive unit at the factory.
Table 2: Factory configuration of important parameters for HiCube Pro pumping stations
Loosen the transportation lock before first-time starting.
When water cooling is used: Open cooling water supply and check the flow.
When sealing gas is used: Open the sealing gas supply and check the flow.

Comply run-up time
Pump throughput can be impaired by condensate or remainig moisture in the backing
area. This can lead to exceeding the maximum run-up time.
Recommendation:
When switching on, open the gas ballast valve for about 5 min.
(see p. 21, chap. 6.4)
.
NOTICE
Danger of the pump being destroyed
Pumping of gases with a higher molecular mass in the wrong gas mode can lead to de-
struction of the pump.
Ensure the gas mode is correctly set.
Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum before using gases with a greater molecular mass (> 80).
