Page 23: Maintenance And Repair
page 23 of 118 Check the liquid level in the catchpots regularly and drain condensate in time to prevent overfilling. Install a level sensor (see ”Accessories”, pg. 89) for monitoring, if necessary. Provide appropriate protective measures to allow for the possibility of failure and malfunction. - Page 24 24 of 118 ual see www.vacuubrand.com. In normal use, the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is typically 15,000 operating hours. Bearings have a typi- cal durability of 40000 h. Motor capacitors have a typi- cal durability in the range of 10000 to 40000 h depending strongly on operation conditions including ambient tem- perature, humidity or load.
