7.2 Maintenance instructions for magnetic coupling
WARNING
Danger of injury from strong magnetic field
There is a risk of injury for people with pacemakers and medical implants.
►
Make sure that such individuals do not enter the sphere of influence (≤ 2 m) of the magnetic field.
►
Identify rooms in which magnetic couplings are openly accessible with the symbol: "No access
for people with pacemakers".
►
Always keep disassembled couplings away from computers, data carriers, and other electronic
components.
This safety note applies to drive system disassembly in pump versions with magnetic coupling.
7.3 Checklist for inspection and maintenance
Maintenance frequency and service lives
Maintenance frequency and service lives are process-dependent. Chemical and thermic
loads or contamination reduce the recommended reference values.
●
Determine the specific service lives during the first operating interval.
●
Consult with Pfeiffer Vacuum Service if you wish to reduce the maintenance frequency.
You can carry out maintenance work at Maintenance Level 1 yourself.
We recommend Pfeiffer Vacuum Service for carrying out maintenance work of Maintenance Level 2
and Maintenance Level 3 (revision). If the required intervals listed below are exceeded, or if mainte-
nance work is carried out improperly, no warranty or liability claims are accepted on the part of Pfeiffer
Vacuum. This also applies if original spare parts are not used.
