5.2 Connecting to the power supply system
WARNING
Danger from electric shock
Improperly grounded or fused products may be dangerous to life in case of a fault.
The use of the device is not permitted without a connected protective conductor.
► Only use the included 3-wire power cable.
► Make sure that the power supply plug is always accessible.
5.3 Checking the operation of the device
NOTICE
Damage to the turbo molecular pump due to jerking movements
Jerking movements can damage the running turbo molecular pump.
► Avoid any jerking movements or vibrations to the device during operation and for up
to 2 minutes after switching off.
Do not switch on the device when the ambient temperature is less than 10 °C.
ü A DN 25 KF blank flange is available (if not already installed on the inlet flange).
ü A helium calibration leak is available (optional).
1.
Unpack the device, take a look at the supply and inspect for any visual damage.
2.
Check if the inlet is blind-flanged. If this is not so, flange a blank flange with an
O-ring gasket on the inlet on the upper side of the device.
3.
Connect the device to the power supply.
4.
Switch on the leak detector via the power supply switch.
ð After switching on, status information is shown on the touchscreen about the
speed of the turbo molecular pump, the foreline pressure, the emission and
the active cathode. The start process takes about 3 minutes and is completed
with a short acoustic signal. Now, the device is in the "Standby" mode (ready
to operate).
5.
Press the Startbutton.
ð The inlet is evacuated and then the measuring mode for the measured leak
rate is shown.
In case a test object was connected, you would start with spraying helium on
the outside.
