WARNING
☞
Read and follow all instructions in this manual.
☞
Inform yourself regarding:
– Hazards which can be caused by the pump;
– Hazards which can be caused by your system.
– Hazards which can be caused by the media being
pumped.
☞
Avoid exposing any part of the body to vacuum.
☞
Observe the safety and accident prevention regulations.
☞
Regularly check that all accident prevention measures are
being complied with.
☞
Do not operate the turbopump with open high vacuum
flange.
☞
Do not carry out any unauthorised conversions or
alterations to the turbopump with TC 600.
☞
When returning the turbopump observe the shipping
instructions.
☞
Use at least 4 bracket screws to connect the high vacuum
flange (ISO-flange).
☞
The turbopump must be anchored in accordance with the
installation instructions.
☞
Do not disconnect the plug between the TC 600 and
accessory components during operations.
☞
Disconnect the voltage supply to the TC 600 before
opening the turbopump.
☞
When working on the turbopump, the high vacuum flange
should only be opened once the rotor is at rest.
☞
When using sealing gas, the pressure in the hose connec-
tion should be limited to 2 bar via the overpressure valve.
☞
If a heater is in use temperatures of up to 120 °C can be
present in the area of the high vacuum flange. Take care
to avoid burns !
☞
During operations, temperatures of up to 65 °C can arise in
the lower part of the turbopump. Take care to avoid burns!
☞
Keep leads and cables well away from hot
surfaces ( > 70 °C).
☞
Operate the turbopump with TC 600 only in conjunction
with the relevant power unit (accessory).
☞
The unit has been accredited protection class IP 30. When
the unit is operated in environments which require other
protection classes, the necessary measures must be
taken. Protection class IP 54 is afforded by retro-fitting a
cover plate (Accessory) to the TC 600.
☞
The mains connection must be subject to a safe
connection to the PE (protection class 1).
☞
If the turbopump and the TC 600 are operated
independently of each other (only permissible with the
agreement of the manufacturer) the turbopump must be
connected to the PE.
☞
The turbopump and the TC 600 must only be disconnected
from each other when the turbopump is completely at rest
and the TC 600 has been disconnected from the power
supply.
☞
The cause of any operating voltage leakage to earth (red
LED flashes) must be eliminated to avoid the danger of an
electric shock.
Modifications reserved.
