Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging.
New product storage
►
Leave the product in its packaging.
►
Leave the blanked-off flange in place on each port.
►
Store the module in a clean and dry environment according to the permitted temperature condi-
tions (see chapter “Technical data”).
►
Beyond 3 months, factors such as temperature, humidity, salt in the air, etc. could damage some
components (elastomers, lubricants, etc.). If this happens, contact your service center.
Extended storage
With this procedure, the detector remains under vacuum, reducing the degassing time spent when it is
switched on again.
1. Install the blank-off flange on the inlet port.
2. In the ‘Test’ menu, check:
●
that the ‘hard vacuum’ test method is selected,
●
that the most sensitive test mode is selected,
●
that the inlet vent valve is set to ’Operator’.
3. Start the test by pressing the START/STOP button.
–
Wait until the leak detector reaches the most sensitive test mode.
4. Make sure that the inlet vent is disable.
5. Stop the detector (set main switch/circuit breaker to O).
6. Wait for the control panel turn off.
7. Unplug the main power supply cable.
