About this manual Pictograph Prohibition of an action or activity in connection with a definitions source of danger, the disregarding of which may result in serious accidents. Warning of a displayed source of danger in connection with operation of the unit or equipment. Command to perform an action or task associated with a source of danger, the disregarding of which may result in serious accidents.
• The vacuum pump may only be used to generate a vacuum. • Installation, operating and maintenance regulations must be complied with. • Other accessories than those described in this manual must not be used without the agreement of Pfeiffer Vacuum.
• Use of the vacuum pump to generate pressure. • Pumping of liquids. • The use of operating fluids not specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum. • Connection to pumps or units which are not suitable for this purpose according to their operating instructions.
Transport and Storage 3 Transport and Storage 3.1 Transport Transport instructions Remove the locking cap from the vacuum and exhaust flange immediately be- fore connecting! – Check the protective strainer, paying attention to the o-ring. Use only the handle or the crane eye on the top side of the pump to lift the pump. –...

Product description 4.2 Function ® The vacuum pumps of the DuoLine are dual stage rotary vane pumps and are used primarily for rough and medium vacuum applications. The pumps are fitted with a hydraulically controlled vacuum safety valve which, when the pump is at a stillstand, closes the vacuum chamber vacuum tight and at the same time vents the pump.
Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Setting up the pump Installation location Observe the following requirements when setting up the pump: • Note the load-bearing capacity of the mounting surface. • Maximum installation altitude 2000 m (above mean sea level) • Permissible ambient temperature: +12 ... +40°C •...
Installation 5.3 Connecting the exhaust side CAUTION High pressure in the exhaust line! Danger of damage to the seals and danger of the pump bursting. Install the line without shut-off valves on the exhaust side. If there is danger of a build-up of excess pressure (> 1500 mbar abs.) in the lines, observe all official accident prevention safety regulations.

Installation WARNING Danger of injury from moving parts! After power failure or motor shutdown due to overheating, the motor may restart auto- matically. Secure the motor so that it cannot be switched on while any work is being performed on the pump. If necessary, dismantle the pump from the installation for inspection.

Pumps for special applications (e.g. for pumping corrosive gases) can be operated with other operating fluids. These must be defined in accordance with Pfeiffer Vacuum specifications before initial assembly and ordered separately. Permissible operating fluids • P3 (Standard operating fluid) •...
Installation 5.6 Operations Monitoring (Option) A pressure switch can be installed on the side of the support to monitor the oil pressure of the rotary vane pump during operations. By pressure drop and when the pump is at rest, the contact of the pressure switch opens. The signal can be used to control external valves.
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Before switching on the pump Check the operating fluid level in the sightglass. Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the mains voltage and frequency values. Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure 1.5 bar absolute).

Set the amount of flushing gas on site. Connect flushing gas at the flushing gas connection. Set flushing gas pressure; maximum pressure 1.5 bar (absolute). – Select the type and amount of flushing gas depending on the process; consult Pfeiffer Vacuum if necessary.
Operation 6.4 Switching off the pump The pump can be switched off in any pressure range. Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differ- ential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥ 250 mbar, then the valve closes automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
Maintenance 7 Maintenance 7.1 Precautions WARNING Danger of injury from moving parts! After power failure or motor shutdown due to overheating, the motor may restart auto- matically. Secure the motor so that it cannot be switched on while any work is being performed on the pump.

Fill up with operating fluid and check the filling level (see p. 15, chap. 5.5). NOTE Request safety data sheets for operating fluids and lubricants from Pfeiffer Vacuum or download them from the Internet. Dispose of operating fluid according to the local regulations.
Maintenance 7.3 Cleaning or changing the silencer The silencer 44 is a nozzle inside the pump housing and cannot be altered; when dirty it should either be cleaned or replaced. Dismantling Unscrew 2 cheesehead screws 182 from the gas ballast valve housing. Remove the gas ballast valve housing 42 from the casing 28;...
Visually inspect the inner of the pump before taking it into operation. If there is ev- idence of rust on the parts of the pump which form the housing then do not take it into operation and contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service. With reference to DIN 7716 and the manufacturer's specifications we recommend replacing the installed elastomer parts after 2 years.
Malfunctions 9 Malfunctions Please note the following instructions should the pump malfunction: DANGER Strong magnetic field in the vicinity of the drive system! Danger to life for persons with cardiac pacemakers when the drive system is disas- sembled. Persons with cardiac pacemakers must not enter the area of the magnetic field. Disassembled magnetic couplings must be kept away from computers, data storage media and other electronic components.
Service if necessary NOTE Service work should only be carried out by qualified personal! Pfeiffer Vacuum is not liable for any damage to the pump resulting from work carried out improperly. Take advantage of our service training programs; additional information at www.pfeiffer-vacuum.net.
