Introduction Scope of this manual This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards XDS46i & 46iC Scroll pump. The pump must be used as specified in this manual. Read this manual before installing and operating the pump.
Section 3.5.2. The XDS46i & 46iC is optimised for maximum pumping speed at inlet pressures between 1 mbar and 10 mbar (refer Figure 2). The XDS46i is not suitable for prolonged operation at inlet pressures above 40 mbar, for pumpdown of large volumes, or for rapid cyclic duty.
A731-01-880 Issue C Technical data WARNING If the XDS46i is operated outside the specified limits, the pump housing may become hot. Operating and storage conditions Note: To comply with EN61010 and CSA standards, the pump must be installed and used indoors, and within the...
The Edwards XDS46i pump is not recommended for pumping explosive gases or hazardous substances. WARNING Use suitable lifting equipment to move the XDS46i pump. The mass of the pump is approximately 48 kg. WARNING Take care when moving the pump into position. The pump's weight makes it difficult to slide and movement should be attempted using two people.
3.4.1 Mechanical fixing Note: Use the four holes located on each corner of the pump base to secure the pump, if required. Edwards recommends the use of M8 bolts. Electrical installation 3.5.1 Check and configure the pump CAUTION Unplug the power supply before changing the voltage.
Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and scratch-free. Edwards recommends the use of an exhaust extraction system suitable for use with all process gases being pumped. Ensure that the exhaust extraction system cannot become blocked or obstructed when the pump is operating.
If liquids that produce flammable vapours could be present in the pump foreline then the inert gas purge to the XDS46i should be left on all the time this liquid is present. Flammable liquids could be present in the foreline as a result of condensation or may be carried over from the process.
Note: Boost operation is not recommended for the XDS46i as a permanent operation mode, as increased bearing loads will reduce the life of the pump bearings. Please consult Edwards if the boost mode is intended to be used. Shut down Use the procedure below to shut down the pump: 1.
The XDS46i pump is designed to require little user maintenance. Observe the following guidelines when carrying out maintenance on the pump: A suitably trained and supervised technician must maintain the pump.
35000 hours Refer to Edwards Inspect and clean the inlet strainer Whenever disconnecting the pump from the vacuum system, Edwards recommends: Removing any debris trapped by the inlet strainer (in the inlet port). Inspecting the inlet strainer and if necessary, clean with a cleaning solution suitable for the substances ...
2. Use a dry cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt and deposits from the fan cover. Replace the tip seals This instruction is applicable to the XDS46i & XDS46iC replacement tip seal kit (contained in minor service kit, refer Section 7.3.5) that must be fitted.
Test the earth continuity and the insulation resistance of the pump motor, in accordance with local regulations for the periodic testing of electrical equipment. Edwards recommends that the earth continuity is less than 0.1 Ω and the insulation resistance is greater than 2 MΩ. (Reference EN61010-1).
Equipment which has been serviced, repaired or rebuilt is returned with a full warranty. The local Service Centre can also provide Edwards engineers to support on-site maintenance, service or repair of the equipment.
