Page 14: Ambient Conditions
page 14 of 56 • Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate to be sure that the power source and the equipment match in voltage, phase, and frequency. Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommend- NOTICE ed operating temperature. Keep a minimum distance of 2 in (5 cm) between the cooling fan and surrounding items (e.g., housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external auto- matic ventilation system. -
Page 15: Operating Conditions
page 15 of 56 + Do not use this product in an area where it can fall or be pulled into water or other liquids. • Adopt suitable measures in case of differences from recommended conditions, e.g., using the equipment outdoors, installation in higher altitudes, conductive pollution or external condensation on the pump. - Page 16 page 16 of 56 ➨ The pumps are not suitable to pump any of the sub- stances listed below. Do not pump: - unstable substances - substances which react explosively under impact (mechanical stress) without air - substances which react explosively when being ex- posed to elevated temperatures without air, - substances subject to auto-ignition, - substances which are inflammable without air...

Page 17: Safety During Operation
page 17 of 56 Safety during operation ➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan- gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or pollut- ing fluids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission of such substances from the pump outlet, install an appropriate collecting and disposal system and take protective action for pump and environment. - Page 18 page 18 of 56 + Interruption of the pump (e.g., due to power failure), failure of connected components or of parts of the sup- ply, or change in parameters must not be allowed to lead to dangerous conditions. In case of a diaphragm failure or in case of a leak in the manifold, pumped substances might be released into the environment or into the pump housing or motor.

Page 19: Maintenance And Repair
For details and for the online ”Instructions for repair” man- ual see www.vacuubrand.com. In normal use, the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is typically 15,000 operating hours. Bearings have a typical durability of 40000 h. - Page 20 page 20 of 56 ➨ Note: The pump may be contaminated with process chemicals, which have been pumped during operation. Ensure that the pump is completely decontaminated before maintenance commences. + Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous substances if contamination has occurred.

Page 21: Important Information: Equipment Marking (Atex)
The overall category of the equipment depends on the connected com- ponents. If the connected components do not comply with the classifi- cation of the VACUUBRAND equipment, the specified category of the VACUUBRAND equipment is no longer valid. Vacuum pumps and vacuum gauges in category 3 are intended for con- nection to equipment in which during normal operation explosive atmo- spheres caused by gases, vapors or mists normally don’t occur;... - Page 22 page 22 of 56 • The equipment is designated for an ambient and gas inlet temperature during operation of +10 to +40°C. Never exceed these ambient and gas inlet temperatures. If pumping / measuring gases which are not potentially explosive, extended gas inlet temperatures are permissible. See instructions for use, section “Gas inlet temperatures”...

Page 28: Use And Operation
page 28 of 56 Use and operation Notes regarding the selection knob and the motor speed Turning the knob to the left decreases the motor speed, turning the knob to the right increases the motor speed. Pumping at high motor speed increases the pumping speed of the pump. - Page 29 page 29 of 56 + Make sure ventilation is adequate, especially if the pump is installed in an enclosure, or if the ambient tempera- ture is elevated. Provide external ventilation, if neces- sary. • Reduce the transmission of vibration. Prevent mechan- ical load due to rigid pipelines.

Page 30: During Operation
page 30 of 56 as short as possible to avoid flow losses. Locate the pump as closely as possible to the application. Always install outlet tubing descending from the pump or provide other measures to avoid backflow of condensate towards the pump. When assembling, ensure vacuum-tightness. - Page 31 page 31 of 56 pressure at outlet and the maximum pressure dif- ference between inlet and outlet ports. Do not start the pump if the pressure difference between NOTICE inlet and outlet ports exceeds max. 16.0 psi (1.1 bar). Attempts to start the pump at higher pressure difference may cause stalling and damage of the motor.

Page 32: Important Notes Regarding The Use Of Gas Ballast
page 32 of 56 last Gas ballast is a continuous purge to keep the pump’s in- terior as clean as possible and to reduce the possibility of condensation inside the pump. ➨ Air and pumped media might react inside the pump or at the outlet of the pump and form hazardous or explo- sive mixtures, when you use air rather than inert gas for the gas ballast. - Page 33 page 33 of 56 The pump can be switched off under vacuum. Short-term: NOTICE Has the pump been exposed to condensate? - Allow the pump to continue to run at atmospheric pres- sure 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.
