Instructions for Use
Maintenance
The TPS-compact does not require any maintenance (except Tip-seal replacement).
Any work must be carried out by authorized personnel.
In the case of breakdown, contact your local Agilent service center.
If a system needs to be scrapped, ensure that local regulations are followed for
appropriate disposal.
Rotor life
The fatigue resistance of the turbomolecular pump rotor strongly depends on pump
size. Refer to the specific pump manual for correct value (number of cycles of ramp
up from stop to full speed and back to stop). As a precautionary measure,
considering the typical usage of the pump and taking into account safety limits,
Agilent recommends to return the system after 17 years of use for maintenance.
Cleaning
The exterior surface of the TPS-compact may be cleaned with mild detergent only.
