4 Operation
4.1 Start up
The dry pumping system is designed to ride through transient power interruptions and to automatically restart
once the power is restored.
Do not operate the pump if the pipeline is restricted or blocked as the pump will not operate correctly and may
be damaged.
1. Switch on the cooling water and purge gas supply.
2. Switch on the electrical supply.
3. Check that the exhaust extraction system is not restricted and that any valves in the exhaust extraction system
are open.
The pump can be started using either the MCM MicroTIM, the PDT, or the front panel control or by commands sent
using the serial interfaces. Refer to Section 1.4 for information about taking control of the dry pumping system.
Do not operate the dry pumping system with the lifting eyebolts still fitted or with any enclosure
panels removed or damaged and do not touch any parts of the pump(s) when the dry pumping
system is on. Surfaces of the pump(s) are very hot and can cause injury to people.
Do not operate the dry pumping system with any enclosures removed or damaged as there may be
a risk of an electric shock.
Ensure that it is safe to start the dry pumping system. Failure to do so (and, for example,
maintenance is being performed on components downstream of the dry pumping system), could
cause injury to people.
After the power is applied, all mains circuits will be energised.
