The VacIon Plus series pumps are ion pumps commonly used
to create ultra-high vacuum, due to their cleanliness, ability to
pump different gases, and maintenance- and vibration-free op-
eration.
The following paragraphs contain all the information necessary
to guarantee the safety of the operator when using the equip-
ment. Detailed information is supplied in the appendix "Techni-

WARNING!
The warning messages are for attracting the attention of the
operator to a particular procedure or practice which, if not fol-
lowed correctly, could lead to serious injury.
The caution messages are displayed before procedures which,
if not followed, could cause damage to the equipment.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
The pump is supplied in a special protective packing. If this
shows signs of damage which may have occurred during trans-
port, contact your local sales office.
When unpacking the pump, be sure not to drop it and avoid any
kind of sudden impact or shock vibration to it.
Do not dispose of the packing materials in an unauthorized
manner. The material is 100% recyclable and complies with
EEC Directive 85/399.
In order to prevent outgassing problems, do not use bare hands
to handle components which will be exposed to vacuum. Al-
ways use gloves or other appropriate protection.
NOTE
Normal exposure to the environment cannot damage the pump.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to keep it closed until it is installed
in the system, thus preventing any form of pollution by dust.
CAUTION
CAUTION
INSTALLATION
Do not install or use the pump in an environment exposed to
atmospheric agents (rain, snow, ice), dust, aggressive gases,
or in explosive environments or those with a high fire risk. Dur-
ing operation, to obtain the declared functioning specification,
the ambient temperature must be between 0 °C and +85 °C.
The pump should be kept sealed with its pinch-off tube until it is
ready for attachment to the vacuum system.
To avoid injury, never connect the high voltage to the pump
before it is installed into the system and all the inlet flanges
are properly connected or blanked off.
