GENERAL INFORMATION
This equipment is destined for use by professionals. The user
should read this instruction manual and any other additional
information supplied by Varian before operating the equipment.
Varian will not be held responsible for any events occurring due
to non-compliance, even partial, with these instructions, im-
proper use by untrained persons, non-authorized interference
with the equipment or any action contrary to that provided for by
specific national standards.
The Turbo-V 2K-G is an integrated system with a turbo-
molecular pump for high and ultra-high vacuum applications
with its relevant controller. The system can pump many types of
gases or gas compound. It is not suitable for pumping liquids or
solid particles. The pumping action is obtained through a high
speed turbine (max. 33000 rpm) driven by a high-performance
3-phase electric motor. The Turbo-V 2K-G is free of
contaminating agents and, therefore, is suitable for applications
requiring a "clean" vacuum.
It is equipped with auxiliary connectors to be controlled from a
remote site by means of an host computer connected through a
serial line (RS232 or RS485).
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-
cal Information".

this shows signs of damage which may have occurred during
transport, contact your local sales office.
When unpacking the system, be sure not to drop it and avoid
any kind of sudden impact or shock vibration to it. Cause its
weight (35 kg), use the three eyebolts screwed at 120° on the
pump body to extract the pump from the package.
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
