Page 8: Setting Up And Installing The System
page 8 of 76 Ensure that the equipment and all components are suit- NOTICE able for the intended application. Use the system only for aspiration of liquids and filtration. Setting up and installing the system ➨ Equipment must be connected only to a suitable elec- trical supply and a suitable ground point. -
Page 9: Ambient Conditions
page 9 of 76 Provide a firm level platform for the equipment. Ensure a NOTICE stable position of the pump without any mechanical con- tact except of the pump feet. Comply with all applicable safety regulations. Check fan regularly for dust/dirt, clean if necessary to avoid reduced ventilation. -
Page 10: Operating Conditions
page 10 of 76 Operating conditions ➨ The devices have no approval for operation in or for pumping of potentially explosive atmospheres. ➨ The devices are not suitable to pump: - unstable substances and substances which react explosively under impact (mechanical stress) and/ or when being exposed to elevated temperatures without air, - self inflammable substances,... -
Page 11: Safety During Operation
page 11 of 76 Safety during operation ➨ Avoid interactions of media in the collection bottle. Comply with material safety data sheets and notes on safe use of the manufacturer. Do not mix incompatible disinfectants and/or in- compatible reagents / solvents or any unknown substances. - Page 12 page 12 of 76 ➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan- gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting fluids, vapors and gases. In such cases, install an ap- propriate collecting and disposal system and take pro- tective action for pump and environment. ➨...
- Page 13 page 13 of 76 + Comply with applicable regulations when disposing of chemicals. Take into consideration that chemicals may be polluted. Take adequate precautions to protect peo- ple from the effects of dangerous substances (chemi- cals, thermal decomposition products of fluoroelas- tomers), wear appropriate safety-clothing and safety glasses.

Page 14: Maintenance And Repair
page 14 of 76 Electronic equipment is never 100% fail-safe. This may NOTICE lead to an indefinite status of the equipment. Failure of the pumping unit (e. g., by power failure) or connected compo- nents, or change of parameters must not lead to a critically dangerous situation under any circumstances. - Page 15 page 15 of 76 ➨ Never operate the pump if covers or other parts of the pump are disassembled. Ensure that the pump cannot be operated accidentally. ➨ Isolate equipment from power supply before re- moving the cover! ➨ Before starting maintenance, unplug the equipment and wait 5 seconds to allow the capacitors to discharge.

Page 26: Notes Regarding The Setting Of The Suction Power
page 26 of 76 Notes regarding the setting of the suction power Depending on ambient atmospheric pressure (depending on altitude or weather conditions) and on the vapor pressure of the media inside the collection bottle, the setting of a high underpressure (e. g., 850 mbar, 8 LEDs flash) may lead to continuous operation of the pump. -
Page 27: Level Sensor Of Bvc Professional / Bvc Professional G
page 27 of 76 Level sensor of BVC professional / BVC professional G The sensor foil is located on the bottle support. The level sensor gives an alarm and switches off the pump to avoid an overfilling of the collection bottle, if the liquid level in the collection bottle reaches the height of the level sensor, approximately 80% of the maxi- mum bottle capacity (grey marked range with bottle symbols on the sen- sor foil, both for the 2l or 4l bottle). - Page 28 28 of 76 NOTICE Use only the original VACUUBRAND BVC bottle or the original spare bot- tle (see “Accessories - Spare parts”). Do not fix adhesive foil or something near it at the bottle side next to the sensor foil or directly at the sensor foil.

Page 29: During Operation
page 29 of 76 During operation ➨ Attention: When removing the aspiration controller VHC liquid in the tube may leak! Adopt suitable measures to prevent the re- lease of dangerous, toxic, explosive, corro- sive, noxious or polluting fluids, vapors and gases. In such cases, use an appropriate collecting and disposal system and take pro- tective action for personnel, equipment and environment. -
Page 30: Filtration
page 30 of 76 Silencer at the outlet Attention: Dust-laden gases, deposits and con- densed solvent vapor can restrict air flow out the silencer. The resultant back pressure can lead to damage of pump bearings, diaphragms, and valves. Under those conditions, a silencer must not be used. - Page 31 page 31 of 76 The pump achieves its pumping speed, ultimate vacu- NOTICE um and vapor pumping rate only at operating temperature (after approx. 15 minutes). Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves will be damaged, if liquids are transferred through the pump in significant amounts.
