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.

Procedure
● When selecting the installation location, observe the requirement for touch protection to prevent
burns.
● Pfeiffer Vacuum supports you in implementing the touch protection.
1. Ensure easy access to mains plug at all times so that the vacuum pump can be disconnected
from the supply voltage.
2. Place the vacuum pump on a flat, horizontal surface.
3. For stationary installation, screw the vacuum pump directly to the base if necessary.
– For this purpose, dismantle the rubber feet.
4. When installing the pump in a closed housing, ensure adequate air circulation.
– The vacuum pump does not have a fan.
5. Make sure that minimum distances to adjacent components, e.g., walls, housings, etc., are ob-
served.
6. Keep the specifications on the motor rating plate visible and freely accessible.
