DANGER
Risk of explosion by venting with air.
Depending on the application, venting can cause explo-
sive mixtures to form or other hazardous situations to
arise.
Never vent processes with air which could form an
Ø
explosive mixture.
In the case of flammable substances, use only inert
Ø
gas for venting, e.g., nitrogen
(max. 1.2 bar/900 Torr abs.).
If there is not direct venting connection on the vacuum pump,
pumping unit or controller, you can connect a separate venting
valve, e.g., to a VACUU·SELECT
