Safety WARNING Danger of injury from impermissibly high inert gas pressure Increased inert gas pressure compromises the operational reliability due to increasing power con- sumption of the vacuum pump and potentially causes the temperature class threshold to be exceed- ed. There is a danger of bursting if there is a potentially explosive atmosphere. This leads to injuries caused by flying fragments, the escaping of high pressure, and damage to the unit.

Safety WARNING Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work, there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub- stances causes environmental damage.
Safety 2.3 Safety precautions Duty to provide information on potential dangers The product holder or user is obliged to make all operating personnel aware of dangers posed by this product. Every person who is involved in the installation, operation or maintenance of the product must read, understand and adhere to the safety-related parts of this document.
ATEX designations 2.4.2 Potential hazards The ignition hazard assessment for the Duo 11 ATEX was performed in accordance with the harmon- ized standard ISO 80079-36 (Non-electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres - Basic method and requirements). This assessment includes the identification of hazards described as follows which will not occur if the system is operated properly with the respective safety measures.

M version with non-contact and wear-proof drive with magnetic coupling. The pump housing is her- metically sealed. The rotary vane pump Duo 11 ATEX is a vacuum pump designed for special applications in low and medium vacuum, observing the application limits. A magnetic coupling allows contactless and wear-free operation of the drive, thus ensuring a hermetically sealed and fully enclosed pump housing.
● Optional accessories 3.4 Identifying the product ► To ensure clear identification of the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum, always keep all of the information on the rating plate to hand. ► Observe the motor-specific data on the motor rating plate attached separately.
► Never stack products. ► Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes. Preparations for transport Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov- General information regarding safe transport 1. Observe the weight specified on packaging. 2. Use a transport aid if necessary (trolley, lift truck).
– Keep the eye bolts for future use. 4.2 Storing the vacuum pump Storage Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging. Procedure 1. Fill the vacuum pump with operating fluid up to the upper edge of the sight glass.
Installation 5 Installation DANGER Risk of explosion when carrying out installation and maintenance work in potentially explo- sive areas There is a risk of explosion if unsuitable tools are used in potentially explosive areas. Ignition can cause very serious injuries. ► Transport, installation and maintenance work may not be performed in potentially explosive at- mospheres.
Installation Fig. 6: Vacuum connection with flange connection 1 Circlip Intake line 2 Centering ring with cone sieve and O-ring Blank flange Connecting the vacuum side 1. Remove the blank flange from the vacuum flange. 2. Make sure that the centering ring with cone sieve and the O-ring are in the vacuum flange. 3.
8. Route process gases safely. 9. Use a suction device to prevent zone entrainment. Condensate separator Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends installing a condensate separator, with condensate drain at the lowest point of the exhaust line. 5.4 Grounding the vacuum pump A suitable grounding cable must be connected to eliminate any applicative disruptive influences.
Installation Fig. 8: Connecting the grounding cable Procedure 1. Connect the ground terminal to the base plate of the vacuum pump with the local equipotential bonding of the potentially explosive area. 2. Route the connection in accordance with locally applicable provisions. 3.
► Route the mains connection in accordance with locally applicable provisions. ► Always provide a suitable mains fuse to protect the motor and supply cable in the event of a fault. – Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the circuit breaker type "K" with slow tripping characteristic. 5.5.1 Choosing the cable bushing Selection of the correct cable bushings is entirely the responsibility of the user.
Installation The ends of the 3 phases are connected in the star point. The terminal voltage is √3 times the phase voltage, the mains current is equal to the phase current. The star circuit is marked with the Y symbol. 5.5.3 Selecting on-site fuse protection The magnetic coupling does not offer an overload protection.

Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Putting the vacuum pump into operation WARNING Risk of explosion in the medium to be pumped as a result of increased pressure With installation on the exhaust side, there is a risk of the exhaust pressure of the vacuum pump ex- ceeding the atmospheric conditions.
Operation CAUTION Danger of burns on hot surfaces Depending on the operating and ambient conditions, the surface temperature of the vacuum pump can increase to above 70 °C. ► Provide suitable touch protection. Operating Conditions ● The optimal operating condition of the vacuum pump is continuous operation. ●...
7. Fit the hose clamp. 8. Select the type and quantity of the inert gas used according to the process. 9. Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum if necessary. Adjusting inert gas flow The gas ballast quantity is regulated with the valve spindle.
Operation 6.4 Refilling operating fluid WARNING Risk of injury from reactive, potentially explosive or otherwise hazardous gas/air mixtures Uncontrolled exchange of gases when opening the housing could potentially generate a potentially explosive mixture of gas and air in the vacuum system or even outside of the vacuum pump. Ignition can cause very serious injuries.

► Shut off the intake line with an additional shut-off valve, after the vacuum pump is switched off during longer venting operations. Pfeiffer Vacuum rotary vane pumps have an integral vacuum safety valve on the intake side. The vac- uum safety valve automatically closes from a differential pressure of ≥250 hPa between the exhaust and intake sides, when the vacuum pump is switched off, and vents the vacuum pump.
► Secure the motor against re-start. NOTICE Damage from incorrect maintenance work Unprofessional work on the vacuum pump will lead to damage for which Pfeiffer Vacuum accepts no liability. ► Ensure that only the following categories of persons are authorized to perform servicing tasks: –...
