(7) Recording the helium pressure during operation
Helium high-pressure side pressure gauge on the front panel indicates the pressure of the
helium supply line of the compressor.
Read the maximum pressure value at the time of starting the compressor operation.
Keep the cryopump system operating and read the pressure value of helium pressure
gauge when the system is pumping steadily.
Write down these values in the Appendix A Table A-1, operating log sheet.
These two recorded values depend on the length of flexible hoses and a kind of the
cryocooler mounted on the cryopump system. The recorded values are used as reference
value for maintenance or replacement of the product explained in the following .
For reference, the helium pressure during operation of C30HVRT (with a cryocooler
UR4K10) with 3m flexible hoses is shown in Table 5-1.

The compressor is intended for continuous, not intermittent operation. The number of
st rting/stopping of the compressor pump must be six or less times per hour. Failure to
observe this warning may result in damage to and/or life shortening of the compressor.
