Safety and responsibility Safety and responsibility The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the failure to observe these instructions and the related documents [➙ 6]. Explanation of warning signs Warning sign Explanation Danger that failure to observe the measures could lead to death or serious physical injuries.
Safety and responsibility Working in a safety-conscious manner Work at a standstill and Work on running or energised vacuum pumps/compressors can lead to seri- de-energised ous injuries due to body parts being drawn in or crushed or death due to electric shock.
Safety and responsibility Requirements for personnel 2.5.1 Staff qualifications and training All those who will work on the G-BH2 must have read and understood these in- structions and the related documents [➙ 6]. Personnel in training may only work on the G-BH2 under supervision of personnel who have the required knowledge.
Safety and responsibility 2.5.2 Personal protective equipment WARNING Danger of crushing and cutting! Crushing and cutting of body parts due to sharp edges or falling parts on the open G-BH2. 1. Wear protective gloves, safety footwear and safety goggles for all assembly and disassembly, troubleshooting and maintenance work.
Safety and responsibility Requirements of the operator WARNING Explosion and burst risk! Any machine that is operated at a pressure or speed that is beyond that which is permitted, can explode or burst and cause serious injuries due to parts flying off and suddenly ejected conveyed media. 1.

Product identification Function principle The side-channel compressor consists of a drive (motor) and a compressor part in which an impeller rotates contact-free in the side-channel. Side-channel compressors can be used as a vacuum pump or are used as the compressor (observe Correct use of the equipment [➙ 7]). As soon as the motor is switched on, conveyed media is suctioned on the suction side connection (1).

Transportation and storage Transportation and storage Unpacking and checking the condition of delivery The G-BH2 is secured onto a pallet or foot plate and protected by a cardboard box for delivery. Remove the packaging. NOTICE! First remove the transport protection on the connection open- ings before connecting the pipes and hoses.
Transportation and storage Transportation with a crane All single-stage G-BH2 are equipped with an eye bolt (item 15, Structure [➙ 13]) and all two and three-stage G-BH2 are equipped with a lifting attach- ment (item 15, Structure [➙ 13]). The eye bolt or lifting attachment is exclu- sively designed for the mass of the G-BH2, including the original accessories (except for the in-line filter, item 51, Structure [➙...
Mounting Mounting Measures after long-term storage Replace ball bearings and radial shaft seal When the length of storage until assembly is exceeded by 4 years for the storage conditions provided in Storage [➙ 18]. Replace the rolling bearing. Clean adjacent bearing areas for open ball bearings and re-grease. Replace and grease the radial shaft seal.
Mounting Reduction of oscillations and noises Noise emissions and vibrations can be reduced by the following measures. ▪ Do not set up the G-BH2 in set-up areas that conduct or radiate sound. ▪ Equip installation surfaces with intermediate layers of noise damping material. ▪...
Mounting 5.4.2 Vertical axis mounting on the compressor cover For vertical mounting on the compressor cover (item 14, Structure [➙ 13]), spring elements (accessory) must be used. Mark the threaded holes for the cover position (item 13, Structure [➙ 13]) re- ferring to the dimensional drawing.
Mounting Fit loose silencer and accessories Fit loose silencer For G-BH2 with discharge/suction side on cover side, the silencers are en- closed separately due to technical packaging reasons and must be fitted. Remove transport protection. Position the silencers (item 44/45) on the compressor cover (item 14) and screw in with nuts (476) and threaded studs (444).

Electric power connection Electric power connection General installation regulations DANGER Lethal electric shock on the housing due to the air gap being too small! Air gaps between non-insulated, voltage active components and the earth must be at least 5.5 mm [0.217 in] to one another (for a measured voltage of ≤...
Electric power connection ▪ Be constructed and fitted in such a way that the following faults do not lead to damage: – short circuits – mechanical impacts – power supply failures or surges – electromagnetic fields – earth connections The electrical equipment and control must not put the protective devices of the drive system and the motor protection (e.g.
Electric power connection EMERGENCY OFF function An EMERGENCY OFF function must be provided when a dangerous situation can occur that must be rectified manually (see ISO 12100, 5.5.2) ▪ Implement the EMERGENCY off function according to EN 418 and EN 50099. ▪...
Electric power connection Connect the motor to the mains Open the terminal box cover. Connect the protective cable to the terminal with the symbol to the left. Connect switch stirrup according to circuit diagram in (item 2, Structure [➙ 13]). Note torque settings for terminal plate connections.
Electric power connection 6.6.3 Integrated drive control by third party manufacturer NOTICE Mechanical damage! Integrated drive controls from third-party manufacturers can overload the foot and lifting attachment or damage the bearing due to the oscillations. Do not fit integrated drive controls from third-party manufacturers on the G- BH2.

Electric power connection NOTICE Destruction due to overheating! For operation without the auxiliary ventilator running, the G-BH2 can over- heat and be destroyed. Provide forced switching that prevents an operation of the G-BH2 without the auxiliary ventilator running. Carefully remove blind plugs. Insert screws.
Electric power connection 6.8.4 Parameterize the external drive control 2FC4...-2 External drive control 2FC..-2, adjust the parameters with the keypad Remove the keypad after an operating error and reconnect it. Reset the con- nection parameters. Plug in the keypad and wait approx. 3 seconds. The keypad carries out a self-test.
Commissioning Commissioning Measures after a long shut-down period Replace ball bearings and radial shaft seal When the time at a standstill exceeds 4 years since the last commissioning. Replace the rolling bearing. Clean adjacent bearing areas for open ball bearings and re-grease. Replace and grease the radial shaft seal.
Commissioning Sensors function check Check the control for error messages by disconnecting the sensors (e.g. PTC resistor). Remedy the cause of the error for any malfunctions. Measure the acoustic emissions It is necessary to measure the acoustic emissions for G-BH2 without piping or G-BH2 without silencers or G-BH2 with piping.
Operation Operation WARNING Risk of burns due to temperatures of up to approx. 160 [320°F]! Contact with hot surfaces, pipes and hoses, can lead to burns. 1. Do not touch surfaces provided with warning signs. 2. Allow to cool after removing from service Switch on If fitted, open the shut-off devices in the suction/pressure lines.
