Locate the T-Staon 85
WARNING:
Hea
vy objects can cause muscle strain or back injury. The mass of the T-Staon 85 will
dier depending on the model supplied.
WARNING:
The turbo pump used on the T-Staon 85 stores a large amount of kinec energy when it
is running a
t full speed. In the unlikely event of a malfuncon (rotor seizure), the stored
energy could cause a slight movement of the T-Staon 85 plaorm. If the T-Staon 85 is
operang on a bench top, taking the following steps is advised: (a) Posion the T-Staon
85 at least 10-15 cm away from the edge of the bench top and adjacent devices and/or (b)
Tether or x the T-Staon 85 to the bench top, see Bench top xing on page 12.
CAUTION:
When
locang the T-Staon 85, care should be taken not to restrict the venlaon grid
located under the base of the system. Failing to observe this may result in overheang of
the turbomolecular pump.
Bench top xing
There are two M8 xing points located at the rear of the T-Staon 85 base (Figure 1 on pag
e
10, item 7). Using suitable brackets or straps (not supplied), securing the T-Staon 85 to the
bench t
op is recommended to prevent excessive movement in the unlikely event of a pump
failure.
Note:
Straps or brackets cannot be provided as the best type xing for the customer bench top
locaon cannot be determined. Sourcing or fabricang these xings locally is recommended.
Fill the pump with oil
Pr
ocedure for lling the pump with the recommended oil.
If the T-Staon 85 uses an E2M1.5 rotary vane pump, it must be lled with the correct quanty
of oil (supplied) before operang the equipment. For further informaon refer to the EM
R
otary Vane Pump manual A371-32-880.
Fill the pump with oil as follows:
1. Remove the oil ller plug.
2. Pour oil into the pump unl the oil level just reaches the MAX mark on the bezel at the
top of the sight glass. If the oil level goes above the MAX mark, remove the drain plug
and drain the excess oil from the pump.
3. Aer a few minutes, recheck the oil level. If the oil level is now below the MAX mark,
pour more oil into the pump.
4. Ret the oil ller plug. Tighten the plug rmly by hand. Do not over ghten.
