Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Description of the Ejector 3.1.1 Suction of the Workpiece (Vacuum Generation) The ejector is designed for vacuum handling of airtight parts in combination with suction systems. The vacuum is generated in a nozzle according to the Venturi principle, i.e. by using suction generated by the flow of accelerated compressed air.
Product description 3.1.2 Depositing the Workpiece/Part (Blowing Off) In blow off mode, the vacuum circuit of the ejector is supplied with compressed air. This ensures that the vacuum drops quickly, depositing the workpiece quickly as well. During blow off, [-FF] is shown on the display. The ejector provides two blow off modes for selection: •...

Description of Functions In manual mode, the “suction” and “blow off” ejector functions can be controlled independently of the higher-level controller using the buttons on the foil keypad of the operating element. This function is used, among other things, to detect and eliminate leaks in the vacuum circuit. In this operating mode, the “SP1”...
Description of Functions Activating and Deactivating Manual Blow-off ü The ejector is in “manual mode”. 4 Press and hold the button. ð The blow off LED B lights up. ð The ejector blows off as long as the button is pressed. 4 Release the button to end the blow off.
Description of Functions The following operating modes can be set for the control function using the [ctr] parameter in the Ex- tended Functions menu. 6.5.1 No Control (Continuous Suction) The ejector produces continuous suction with maximum power. This setting is recommended for very por- ous workpieces, which would otherwise cause the vacuum generator to switch on and off continuously due to the high rate of leakage.
Description of Functions Unit Explanation The setting for this unit is [iX9]. The vacuum level is displayed in psi. The setting for this unit is [P5i]. 6.8 Reset to factory settings This function is used to reset the following configurations to their factory settings: •...

Description of Functions 6.13 Condition Monitoring (CM) 6.13.1 Evacuation Time Monitoring Vacuum [mbar] Start suction cycle Time [s] Measuring the evacuation time t1: The interval between reaching the switching points SP2 and SP1 is measured (in ms). The specified value for the max. permitted evacuation time can be set in the Extended Functions menu with the parameter [t-1].
Description of Functions 6.13.2 Leakage monitoring Vacuum Time Measuring the leakage: In control mode ([ctr] = [on]), the vacuum drop/leakage over a certain period of time is measured (as vacuum drop per unit time in mbar/s) from the point when the air saving function interrupts suction after reaching switching point SP1.

For safe installation, the following instructions must be observed: 1.
Installation The ejector is usually mounted using the holes on the side. Alternatively, it can be mounted using a DIN rail or a mounting bracket (> See ch. Accessories, Page 47): Side mounting 4 There are two 4.4 mm through-holes for mounting the ejector. Use screws at least 20 mm in length.
Installation 8.3.1 Connecting the Compressed Air and Vacuum Description of the pneumatic connection Compressed air connector (marking 1) Vacuum connection (marking 2) The threaded or push-in compressed air connector is marked with the number 1 on the ejector. 4 Connect compressed air hose. For threaded connectors, the maximum tightening torque is 1 Nm. The threaded or push-in vacuum connector is marked with the number 2 on the ejector.
Installation 8.3.3 Optional: External blow-off connection (EB) The ejector is also optionally available with an additional compressed air connector for the blow off func- tion. With the external blow off function (EB), the blow off pulse is controlled separately and independently of the compressed air supply for vacuum generation, allowing you to use a different medium (e.g.
