Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of
the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life.
► Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
► Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
► Provide adequate grounding for the device.
► After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
CAUTION
Danger of injury from bursting as a result of high pressure in the exhaust line
Faulty or inadequate exhaust pipes lead to dangerous situations, e.g. increased exhaust pressure.
There is a danger of bursting. Injuries caused by flying fragments, the escaping of high pressure, and
damage to the unit cannot be excluded.
► Route the exhaust line without shut-off units.
► Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials for the product.
► Check the function of the exhaust line on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Danger of burns on hot surfaces
Depending on the operating and ambient conditions, the surface temperature of the vacuum pump
can increase to above 70 °C. If access to the vacuum pump is unrestricted, there is a danger of burns
due to contact with hot surfaces.
► Install suitable touch protection if the vacuum pump is unrestrictedly accessible.
► Allow the vacuum pump to cool down before carrying out any work.
► Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for suitable touch protection in system solutions.
CAUTION
Health hazard from increased noise emission
Operation without silencer leads to higher noise emissions. Remaining in the close proximity of the
vacuum pump for a sustained period of time may cause hearing damage.
► Install a suitable exhaust line.
► Wear hearing protection.
Risks during operation
WARNING
Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices
Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work,
there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub-
stances causes environmental damage.
► Take suitable safety precautions and prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by toxic
process media.
► Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
► Wear protective equipment.
