Basic Safety Instructions Basic Safety Instructions General Information CAUTION ! Warning notices must be observed. Disregarding them may lead to damage to health and property. The Laboratory-Vacuum-Systems must be operated by personnel who can detect impending dangers and take action to prevent them from materialising. The user/operator is responsible for correct installation and safe operation.
Basic Safety Instructions Mechanical Systems Improper use can lead to injuries or material damage. Observe the following instructions: Only operate the Laboratory-Vacuum-Systems with hoses of the specified dimensions. The maximum permissible pressure of 1 bar at the suction connection must not be ex- ceeded.
Basic Safety Instructions Hazardous Substances The operating company bears the responsibility for the use of the Laboratory-Vacuum- System. Hazardous and harmful substances must be effectively prevented from escaping. Ensure that all lines and connections are leak tight. Handle exhaust gases in accordance with the requirements of the emission protection regu- lations.
Description Description Design and Function 3.1.1 Laboratory-Vacuum-Systems The Laboratory Vacuum Systems are supplied as a ready-mounted unit. The chemical-resistant diaphragm pump (4) with gas ballast valve (17) is fitted to the base plate of the column (3) and attached on the suction-side to the separator (7) to protect the pump from foreign matter and on the pressure-side to the emission condenser (6) to recover the condensate.
Description 3.1.2 Diaphragm pump ► Design: The diaphragm pump consists of a pump body and a drive motor. The pump body consists of a drive shaft and two pump heads. Both pump head contains a diaphragm and the work valves. The two pump heads are arranged opposite each other. In the two-stage (Z) diaphragm pump, both pump heads are connected in series.
Description 3.1.3 Vacuum Controller 521, intern In the case of controlled models for laboratory vacuum systems LVS, the vacuum controller, complete with sensor, venting valve and power unit, is fitted in the device column. The oper- ating and display elements are on the top surface of the column. (Description and operation see chapter 6, Technical data see chapter 4.3.1) Built-in –...
Description It has the same function as the LVS with a standard assembly. It is operated, as similarly de- scribed, via an externally installed controller. On the controller is the on / off power switch and the RS 232 interface. (see also chapter 9.4) Dimensions for installation in laboratory furniture: Overview of the variants...

Assembly and Installation Assembly and Installation Unpacking Carefully unpack the Laboratory-Vacuum-System. Check the system for: Transport damage, Conformity with the specifications of the supply contract (type, electrical supply data), Completeness of the delivery. Please inform us without delay if there are discrepancies between the delivery and the con- tractually agreed scope of delivery, or if damage is detected.
Assembly and Installation The emission condenser enables a 100 per cent recovery of the solvents led through the vacuum pump. Cooling takes place via the DN 8 hose nozzles. Ensure that the outflow is clear. The safety valve is located at the gas inlet. The rubber valve seal must be checked for cracks at regular intervals and exchanged when necessary.
Operation LVS without vacuum controller Switch the device (LVS 300 Z, LVS 301 Z, LVS 302 Z) on using the main switch. Vacuum is generated immediately and without regulation. Over the regulating valves on the LVS 302 Z it is possible two customers concomitant to connect.
Operation 6.3.3 Mode 3, Ultimate pressure By pressing of the key P min evacuation takes place at maximum pump speed until the user presses STOP. 6.3.4 Mode 4, Self cleaning The Mode "Self cleaning" is used for flushing the pump and can, if desired, also be carried out several times in succession.
Operation 6.6.2 Operating via Buttons and Encoder The menu is operated with the encoder. The menu option is selected by turning the encoder anticlockwise, and then confirmed by pressing. A pop-up window is provided for changing numerical values. They are accepted by pressing the encoder.

Operation 6.7.2 Software-Update The software in the controller can be updated. It can be re-input by the user. The Fujitsu Flash tool must be used for the Fujitsu 16FX CPU range. The factory default settings can be made with a corresponding sequential number input again (VCZ521_XXX.mhx). NOTE ! The highest sequential number VCZ521_XXX.mhx is always the most current soft- ware version.
Operation Operation using the "WELCH-Control 521" PC program The "WELCH-Control" enables the vacuum controller to be operated simply and easily from the PC. The program can be purchased and installed as an option. Make the cable connection (O-Modem) between PC and controller.
Operation In the PSI pressure range, the pressure values for the curve are multiplied by 100 to remain with integers. The curve can be printed out by the system printer via the "File / Print curve" menu. The buttons largely correspond to the buttons on the controller. However, the buttons cannot be held down.

Maintenance and Servicing Maintenance and Servicing General Requirements Repairs of the Laboratory-Vacuum-Systems may only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized workshops. The prerequisites are a complete and factually correct damage report, and a clean and, if necessary, a decontaminate device. The operator may perform maintenance work to the extent indicated below: Maintenance Performed by the User WARNING !
Maintenance and Servicing 7.2.1.1 Disassembly 1. Disconnect the power supply and ensure that it cannot be switched on again. 2. Open the screw clamps (9) of the hoses (10) on the pump body with the SW 17 open spanner. 3. Remove four machine screws (1) from each connection head with an Allan key, size 4. 4.
Maintenance and Servicing 7.2.1.3 Test Connect a vacuum measuring device to the intake connector and measure the ultimate pressure. If the device is working properly, then the figure stated in the technical data must be at- tained within a maximum of one minute. The pump must not make any abnormal noises.
