Risk of electric shock due to non-compliant electrical installations
This product uses mains voltage for its power supply. Non-compliant electrical installations or installa-
tions not done to professional standards may endanger the user's life.
► Only qualified technicians trained in the relevant electrical safety and EMC regulations are au-
► This product must not be modified or converted arbitrarily.
► Check that the product is properly connected to the equipment's or pumping installation's emer-
Danger of electrocution by contact during maintenance or overhaul
There is an electric shock hazard in case of contact with a product powered on and not electrically
isolated.
► Before carrying out any work, set the main switch to O.
► Disconnect the power cable from the mains.
► Secure the installation correctly by tagging and locking (LO/TO) the system to prevent uninten-
Risk of poisoning when process gases are present in the atmosphere
The manufacturer has no control over the types of gases used with the pump. Process gases are of-
ten toxic, flammable, corrosive, explosive and/or otherwise reactive. There is a risk of serious or fatal
injury if these gases are allowed to escape freely into the atmosphere.
► Apply the relevant safety instructions in accordance with local regulation. This information is
► Always connect the turbomolecular pump's exhaust to a backing pump compatible with
► Regularly check that there are no leaks where the pump connects to the exhaust pipework.
Risk of burns in case of contact with hot surfaces
For the operator's safety, the products are designed to avoid thermal risk. Depending on the applica-
tion, the conditions of use generate high temperatures which require extra caution from users (surfa-
ces > 65 °C).
► Pay attention to the marking of hot surfaces indicated by safety labels.
► Wait for the product to fully cool down before working on it.
► Protective gloves must be worn in accordance with standard EN ISO 21420.
Only qualified personnel trained in safety rules (EMC, electrical safety, chemical pollution) can carry out
the installation and maintenance described in this manual. Our service centers can provide the neces-
sary training.
