page 6 of 75 Safety information! General information ☞ Read and comply with this manual before installing or operating the equip- NOTICE ment. ☞ Transport the pump at the provided handle. Remove all packing material, remove the product from its packing-box, remove the protective covers from the inlet and outlet ports and keep, inspect the equipment.
Page 7
page 7 of 75 The inner (pumped media) and outer part of the pump have to be evaluated separately because of their different conformity (see also section ”Technical data” and ”Notes regarding devices with ATEX conformity”). The pumps are not suitable for pumping dust and have no approval for operation below ground.
Page 8
page 8 of 75 Inlet ☞ Connection lines at the pump inlet have to be performed conductive grounded and gas tight (designation of the pump connections see figures). ☞ The diameter of the inlet pipeline should be at the least as large as the diameter of the pump connection pipelines.
Page 9
page 9 of 75 Inert gas purge ☞ The user must take suitable precautions to prevent any formation of explosive mixtures in the expansion chamber using inert gas to purge the housing. Other- wise in case of a diaphragm crack, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity may ignite these mixtures.
page 10 of 75 Attention: Never use the antistatic connection at the housing of the device to connect the device to ground, use only the green or green and yellow connection wire of the motor. Use the antistatic connection at the housing only to perform an antistatic connection of other non-electronic devices and components, e.
Page 11
page 11 of 75 ☞ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, explosive, corro- sive or polluting fluids. ☞ If pumping different substances, it is recommended to purge the pump with air or inert gas prior to changing the pumped media in order to pump out residues and to avoid reactions of the pumped substances with each other and with the pump materials.
page 12 of 75 Safety during operation ➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting fluids, vapours and gases. In case install an ap- propriate collecting and disposal system and take protective action for pump and environment.
page 13 of 75 Maintenance and repair Wear parts have to be replaced regularly. In normal use, the lifetime of the dia- phragms and valves is typically 15,000 operating hours. Bearings have a typical du- rability of 40000 h. • The motor capacitors have to be replaced after 200000 start/stop cycles at the latest.
The equipment used has to comply with these requirements. VACUUBRAND does not advise customers concerning requirements to the equipment under the specific aspects of the cus- tomers applications.
Page 15
15 of 75 Electrical connection: VACUUBRAND diaphragm pumps with ATEX-conformity are equipped with a 230 V / 50 Hz single- phase motor and are protected by a thermal cutout with manual reset combined with an overcurrent protection. See instructions for use concerning notes on electrical connection Where applicable the motors can be connected directly to an appropriate power supply by suitably trained and authorised personnel (electrician).

page 23 of 75 Use and operation Installing in a vacuum system • All connection lines at the pump (e. g. inlet, outlet, gas ballast connection, inert gas connection) have to be performed conductive grounded. • Connect pump and all connected components to ground. •...
Page 24
page 24 of 75 • The gas outlet must not be blocked. The exhaust pipeline has always to be free and pressureless to enable an unhindered discharge of gases. • If necessary connect the exhaust to a suitable treatment plant to prevent the dis- charge of dangerous gases and vapours to the surrounding atmosphere.
Page 25
page 25 of 75 ☞ To control the faultless function of the diaphragm it could be recommendable to install a gas specific detector at the outlet of the inert gas purge. A signal from the detector indicates a diaphragm crack. Switch off the pump immediately and check diaphragms.
Page 26
The user must ensure an appropriate protection against splinters / implo- sion or leakage prior to the first use. MZ 2C EX + AK + EK / MZ 2C EX + IK + EK ➨ Assemble catchpot at the inlet and at the outlet using joint clips (fig.: MZ 2C EX + AK + EK)
Page 27
page 27 of 75 Separation of condensate: Attention: Due to electrostatics reasons the vapour condenser has no protec- tive layer to avoid separation of condensed water! Risk of bursting! • Maximum permissible coolant pressure at the vapour condenser: 6 bar (abso- lute).
page 28 of 75 ☞ Ensure that the system design does not allow the exhaust pipeline to be blocked (hose nozzle 10 mm), do not permit uncontrolled pressurizing. ☞ Connect the exhaust to a suitable treatment plant to prevent the discharge of dangerous gases and vapours to the surrounding atmosphere.
Page 29
page 29 of 75 The pump achieves its pumping speed, ultimate total vacuum and vapour 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 pumped in significant amounts. ☞...
page 30 of 75 Shutdown Short-term: NOTICE Has the pump been exposed to condensate? Allow the pump to continue to run at atmospheric pressure for a few minutes. Has the pump been exposed to media which may damage the pump materials or form deposits? Check and clean pump heads if necessary.

page 32 of 75 Replacing diaphragms and valves All bearings are encapsulated and are filled with long-life lubricant and run under NOTICE normal operating conditions maintenance free. Replacement of the bearing must be performed at the latest at 90% of the nominal lifetime of the bearing (nominal life- time of the bearing: 40000 operation hours, if necessary provide an operation time counter).

Page 49
page 49 of 75 Assembling the pump head ➨ Position pump in a way so that the disassembled pump head is above, support if necessary. ➨ By turning eccentric bushing (front of connecting rod), bring connecting rod into a position in which diaphragm is in contact with housing and centred with respect to bore.
Page 50
page 50 of 75 Assembling fittings ➨ Position pump on pump feet. ➨ Connect hose to elbow fitting. ➨ Tighten union nuts first by hand and then tighten one full turn using open ended wrench. ➨ Position the pump on the motor. Attach hose to the inert gas connection and screw the locking plate.
Inspecting the overpressure safety valve Inspecting the overpressure safety valve at the outlet: ➨ Unscrew the overpressure safety valve at the outlet of the pump. MZ 2C EX MD 4C EX MV 10C EX ➨ Disassemble the overpressure safety valve and inspect the parts for faultless condition, replace damaged parts.
Page 52
page 52 of 75 ➨ Note position of valve and remove. ☞ Check valve for damage and replace if necessary. Make sure that the valve is correctly seated. ➨ Reassemble distributor and cover plate. Elbow fitting (3x): ➨ Slip the tubing onto the elbow fitting by turning the fitting with an open-ended wrench (width 15 mm).
Page 53
page 53 of 75 Notes on assembling fittings The threads of the fittings at the pump heads might be sealed with PTFE bond (width 10 mm or 5 mm, thickness 0.1 mm). If the fittings are turned or have been removed, use new PTFE bond when reassembling. If not using new fittings clean the thread of the fittings from PTFE bond.
