Service Options
Agilent pumping systems will provide many years of trouble-free
operation if the maintenance procedures are observed.
Pumping System cleaning and internal scroll pump tip seal
replacement are recommended when Pumping System TMP adsorbed
current (with blanked inlet flange) has risen to an unacceptably high
level (>500 mA) or when the message "TIP-SEAL SERV" appears on
the TPS-compact front side display.
The warning message appears after 5000 h of operation.
If your TPS-compact exhibits humming or grinding noises from the
scroll pump, a major overhaul should be done by Agilent Vacuum
Technologies. Advance exchange TPS-compact are available to
minimize downtime.
The parts needed for Tip-Seal replacement on the internal scroll
pump are available in the kit described in Orderable parts Table. This
kit contains seals and O-rings, and can be obtained from your Agilent
dealer.
