The diaphragm pump can be applied in all areas where an oil-

free, dry vacuum is required.

Particularly the pump is suitable as backing pump for many

Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopumps in applications involving light

gas loads only.

–Pumpingstations

–Plants

Research

Laboratories

Chemistry

Leak detection

3. Installation

3.1. Setting Up The Pump And Location

➡Place pump on a smooth, even surface.

➡Anchor the pump if it is to be erected in a stationary positi-

on.

➡Avoid mechanical stresses due to rigid connections. Insert

elastic hoses or resilient elements as couplings between

the pump and rigid pipes.

➡Anchoring is not necessary if the pump is not erected in a

stationary position.

➡Maximum ambient temperature +12 ... +40 °C.

➡Where rack installation is involved, ensure adequate venti-

lation. If pump is installed above 1000 m above mean sea

level check compatibillity with applicable safety require-

ments, e. g. DIN VDE 0530 (motor may overheat due to

insufficient cooling).

3.2. Connecting The Vacuum Side

– Remove locking cap on intake connection.

– Make connection between the vacuum system and pump

as short as possible.

–Connectpumpwithintakeconnectiontotheapparatus.

–Ifliquid-whichwouldgeneratevapours-ispresentinthe

system to be evacuated, a condensate trap must be fitted

upstream of the pump.

3.3. Connecting The Exhaust Side

Pressure can rise to dangerous levels in exhaust

lines. Therefore, lay exhaust side lines without

shut-off units. Do not connect the exhaust side

with a closed system on account of the danger

of bursting.

In certain applications, exhaust gases and vapours can be

very hot and represent a health and/or environment hazard.

Lay lines from the pump sloping downwards so that

condensate cannot run back into the pump, otherwise fit a

separator.

3.4. Connecting To Mains Power

The pump is driven by AC motors with the following possible

variants:

230 V + 5% / -10%, 50 Hz

120 V + 5% / -10%, 60 Hz

Power connections must comply with local

regulations. Voltage and frequency information

given on the rating plate must correspond to the

mains voltage and frequency values. The pump

may only be connected to mains current with

earthed conductor.

WARNING

CAUTION

Pump versions where the thermostatic winding

protection protrudes must be appropriately

wired to ensure the motor is protected.

CAUTION

Normal version

4.3 Intermittent Operations

To prolong the life of diaphragm pumps, intermittent

operations can be selected with lesser gas throughputs of

< 0.18 mbar l/s. This means that, dependent on the turbo

pump power take-up, the backing pump will be switched on

and off. Turbo pump power take-up is dependent on the fore-

vacuum pressure and gas throughput.

–Bycomparingthepowertake-upwithanupperanda

lower limit value, the relative switch-on duration with

lesser gas throughputs can be reduced to approx. 1 to 60%

–Toavoidtoofrequentswitchingon,thebuffervolumein

the fore-vacuum line should amount to <0.5 liter from

approx. 0.018 mbar l/s.

Possible intermittent operations variations are shown in the

following diagram:

4. Operations

4.1. Important Information

Before starting, ensure that impermissibly high

pressures cannot build up on the pressure side.

Interchanging the connections causes

dangerous excess pressure levels.

The pumps should only start, when the pressu-

re difference is max. 1 bar between admission and exhaust,

because the motor will be blocked and damage.

When the pump is running, surfaces and motor

casing become hot.

WARNIN G

CAUTION

4.2 Switching ON/OFF The Pump

The pump can be switched on and off at all times.

Prevent internal condensation, transfer of

liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves will

be damaged, if liquids are pumped in significant

amount over lengthy periods!

If the pump is subjected to condensates it

should be allowed to run for a few minutes

under atmospheric pressure before switching

off.

CAUTION

5. What To Do In The Case Of Breakdowns ?

6. Maintenance

6.1. Precautionary Measures During Mainten-

ance Work

Whenever working on the pump ensure the

motor cannot get switched on.

If necessary, remove pump from the system for

inspection. Before dismantling allow the pump

to cool down.

➡Only dismantle the pump as far is necessary to effect

repairs.

➡Use only benzin or the like for cleaning. Do not use

solvents.

6.2. Cleaning And Replacing Valves And

Membranes

Under normal operating conditions, the pump is maintenance

free. The valves and the diaphragms are wear parts. If the

rated ultimate vacuum is no longer achieved, the pump interi-

or, the diaphragms and the valves must be cleaned and the

diaphragms and valves must be checked for cracks or other

damage.

Depending on individual cases it may be efficient to check

and clean the pump heads on a regular basis. In case of

normal wear the lliiffeettiimmeeoofftthheeddiiaapphhrraaggmmssaannddvvaallvveessiiss>>

1100000000ooppeerraattiinngghhoouurrss.

There can be different numbers of washers 17

in each membrane head. Ensure the correct

assignment for mounting when dismantling the

membrane heads. Don’t confuse the washers

17.

6.3. Dismantling The Membrane Head

➡Allow the pump to cool down before dismantling.

➡Using an SW 14 key, unscrew direct screw joint (20) of

interhead connection (10) on diaphragm head 1 (see marks

on the housing).

➡As far as possible place pump on its side so that the head

to be dismantled points up.

➡Using an SW 3 key, unscrew the four Allan head screws

(11) and remove head cover (12), taking care with the two

valve plates (13) and sealing rings (14).

➡Remove intermediate plate (15).

➡Use a small screwdriver to carefully ease out diaphragm

(16) and manually unscrew from the connecting rod (right-

hand thread). Look out for possible washers (17).

➡Clean all parts with alcohol and examine diaphragms,

valves and seals for possible damage and renew as

necessary. If a new diaphragm is to be fitted, the washers

(17) of the old diaphragm must be used again otherwise

the pump will not attain the required pressure.

CAUTION

6.4. Assembling The Membrane Head

➡Assemble all parts in reverse order. The connecting rod

should be positioned in the upper dead point when fitting

the diaphragm. Ensure correct positioning of all parts.

➡Check correct sealing ring seating.

➡Re-make hose connection and re-tighten direct screw

joint (20).

➡Test pump for function.

Pfeiffer Vacuum Service Center.

Please get in touch with your local Pfeiffer Vacuum represen-

tatives if there are any questions regarding contamination.

Decontaminate units before returning or

possible disposal. Do not return any units which

are microbiologically, explosively or radio-

actively contaminated.

Returning Contaminated Units

If contaminated units have to be returned for

maintenance/repair, the following instructions concerning

shipping must be followed without fail:

➡Neutralise the pump by flushing with nitrogen or dry air.

➡Seal all openings to the air.

➡Seal pump or unit in suitable protective foil.
