A 200 MDP 5011 molecular pump overview TWO PUMP VERSIONS The standard version : MDP 5011 pump. The version for corrosif gases: MDP 5011CP pump. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS The MDP 5011 offers high pumping performances between 10 mbar and 10-5 mbar and a maximum flowrate fo 400 sccm. With a simple construction but robust rotor and low rotational speed (27000 rpm), the MDP is robust against accidental air in-rush, shock venting and gyroscopic effects.
A 210 The different version operating principle MDP 5011 MOLECULAR PUMP The rotor, a smooth drum with a row of blades at the top, is mounted at the end of a shaft turning in two high-precision ball bearings lubricated with grease, and located in the low-vacuum area. All pumping elements are aluminium. The pump is rotated by a single-phase electronically controlled electric motor. The rotor is mounted directly on the shaft, while the stator is attached to the pump body.
A 210 The different version operating principle MPD 5011CP VERSION FOR CORROSIVE GASES The MDP 5011 CP is specially designed for aggressive environments. Ball bearings and motor are isolated from process gases by a dynamic inert gas purge system. MDP 5011 CP can operate with the same electronic frequency converter than the MDP 5011 standard.

B 100 Safety instructions CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage. CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in moderate or minor injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or severe injury.
B 100 Safety instructions 2/3 The controllers are designed to guarantee safety under normal operating conditions (use in rack). In specific cases of use on tables, make sure that no objects enter the ventilation openings or block the openings when handling the units. CAUTION Our products are designed to comply with current EEC regulations.
B 100 Safety instructions INSTALLATION - START UP (CTD) WARNING The vacuum pump is also a compressor: incorrect use may be dangerous. Study the user manual before starting up the pump. DANGER The access to the rotor of a turbomolecular pump with an unconnected intake is dangerous. Similarly, if the pump is not switched on, its rotor may be rotate by a primary pump which is in operation. CAUTION The air tightness of the products is guaranteed when they leave the factory for normal operating conditions.
B 300 Pump connection to an installation The pump can operate in any position In. In. In. In. The connection of the pump to the installation must be sufficiently rigid The dimensions of the connection parts should be study carefully: reduce the following as much as possible: - dimensions a and b the flexibility of the connection plate - the overhang c between the pump and its anchor point.
B 300 Pump connection to an installation COOLING RECOMMENDATIONS AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS Ambient operating temperature T< 95 °F T< 122 °F Natural convection or air cooled Water cooled PUMPING CONDITIONS In cases of high pressure pumping or frequent cycling, the pump temperature is higher, so water or air cooling are recommended.
B 320 Nitrogen purge connection (MDP 5011CP) For proper protection from reactive gases and particles the inert gas purge system must be used continuously. We recommend a nitrogen source that is dry (dew point of 22 °C at atmospheric pressure), and properly filtered (particles < 1 µm and oil < 0,1 ppm). D The cleanliness of the gas line must be correct. D The purge gas line must have an DN16 ISO-KF fitting to connect it directly to the MDP with a centering ring and quick connect clamp.
B 330 Venting valve connection CAUTION Check the solenoid valve voltage : it must be compatible with line voltage (see section A510). It consists of : A solenoïd valve normally open (NO) mounted on a DN 16 ISO-KF flanged fitting. The fitting is installed between the outlet flange of the MDP and the foreline of the primary pump. Connect the solenoïd valve cable to the J connector of the ACT 100 controller.
B 340 Water cooling connection CHARACTERISTICS OF WATER COOLING In order to limit the corrosion and clogging of the cooling pipes, it is recommended to use cooling water with the following characteristics: - Treated soft water or non-corrosive industrial water. - pH between 7.5 and 11. - Hardness <7 milli-equivalent/dm 3 (28 mg CaO or 50 mg CaCo3 per liter water) = 3.5 mmol/l (100mg Ca Co3 per liter water) - Resistivity >1500 Ω.cm. - Solid pollution <100 mg/dm 3 . - Max.pressure: 7 bars.
B 340 Water cooling connection Connection to the water line - Use a flexible or a rigid 6 x 8 mm hose to connect one of the water fittings to the water line. The user must provide some method of controlling water flow. - Use a flexible or a rigid 6 x 8 mm hose to connect the other fitting to the drain. - Control the flow of water depending on ambient temperature, and water temperature using the following graph.
B 350 Air cooling kit connection Air cooling kit: When the water cooling kit must be replaced by an air cooling device, proceed as follows : D Install the fan on the pump housing by a bracket. This last is assembled on the pump rear tape with 3 screws M4 (refer section A401 - 3/3). D Connect the contact plug of the minus wire to a fan assembling screw. Electrical connection D Connect the fan cable to the K connector of the controller. The fan provides sufficient cooling for ambient temperature up to 95 °F.

C 100 Safety instructions for product use WARNING Before to use the controller, make sure that the mechanical and electrical connections have been made (see chapters from pump and controller’s manuals).
C 150 Molecular pump operation in a pumping application FIRST PUMP START-UP CAUTION When the pump is new, or after a prolonged shut-down of 3 months or more (under normal storage conditions), it is recommended to operate the pump at atmospheric pressure for 10 minutes (inlet and exhaust open to atmosphere) in order to ensure a slow rotation and grease re-distribution in the pump ball-bearings. DANGER The access to the rotor of a molecular pump with an unconnected inlet is dangerous.
C 150 Molecular pump operation in a pumping application EXAMPLE OF A 3 VALVE ASSEMBLY (EXAMPLE 1) The chamber and pipes are at atmospheric pressure, the pumps are off, the valves are closed. Pre-evacuation of the chamber: - start up the primary pump - start up the MDP cooling system - open the E2 valve. When the pressure in the chamber is ≤1mbar, the secondary pumping can be started up: - close E2 - start up the MDP pump - open E1 and E3.
