A73101880_F - Installation 4. Installation 4.1 Safety WARNING: Obey the safety instructions in this section and take note of appropriate precautions. Failure to observe these instructions may result in injury to people and damage to equipment. WARNING: Do not expose any part of the human body to vacuum as it can cause injury. WARNING: The pump is not recommended for pumping explosive gases or hazardous substances.
A73101880_F - Installation ▪ Leak test the system after installation is complete and seal any leaks found to prevent leakage of hazardous substances out of the system and leakage of air into the system. ▪ Mechanical lifting equipment should be attached to the lifting eye on the pump. ▪...
A73101880_F - Installation 4.3 Unpack and inspect WARNING: Use suitable lifting equipment to move the pump. Mechanical equipment should be attached to the lifting eyes, loose slings should not be used. Failure to do so can cause injury to people and damage to the equipment. Refer to Table: General mechanical data on page 12 for the mass of the pump.
A73101880_F - Installation 4.5 Electrical installation 4.5.1 Check and configure the pump CAUTION: Isolate the power supply before changing the voltage. Failure to configure the pump electrical supply correctly can result in damage to the pump. Ensure that the voltage shown on the voltage indicator (refer to Figure: General view on page 9) on the motor cover corresponds with the electrical supply voltage.
A73101880_F - Installation WARNING: If pumping for a prolonged period above 100 mbar inlet pressure, use an exhaust silencer (refer to Silencer on page 34) or connect to an appropriate exhaust line. Before connecting the pump to the vacuum system, remove the plastic cap from the inlet and exhaust and ensure the inlet strainer is fitted to the pump inlet port.
A73101880_F - Operation 5. Operation 5.1 Use of gas ballast control (if fitted) The gas ballast control can be used to optimise the performance of the scroll pump for the application. The performance characteristics of the pump with the different ballast settings are shown in Table: Performance characteristics on page 12.
A73101880_F - Operation Switch on the electrical supply to the pump, using the Run/Standby switch Figure: General view on page 9, item 9. With manual operation always use the Run/Standby switch to start/stop the pump. If remote operation is used to control the pump, refer to Remote operation using 15-way D connector on page Open the vacuum system isolation valve (if fitted).
A73101880_F - Operation the process only after any remaining flammable gases or vapours have been purged from the pump and exhaust line. ▪ If liquids that produce flammable vapours could be present in the pump foreline then the inert gas purge to the pump should be left on all the time this liquid is present.
A73101880_F - Operation 5.7 Shut down WARNING: When the pump has been switched off the fan will continue to run for 1 minute. Use the procedure below to shut down the pump: If shutting the pump down prior to a period of storage, remove any process gases by running on high flow gas ballast for at least one hour.
A73101880_F - Maintenance 6. Maintenance 6.1 Safety information WARNING: Obey the safety instructions in this section and take note of appropriate precautions. Failure to observe these instructions may result in injury to people and damage to equipment. WARNING: Wait one minute for capacitor discharge after disconnecting the power supply before working on the pump.
A73101880_F - Maintenance ▪ Do not touch or inhale the thermal breakdown products of fluorinated materials which may be present in the pump if the pump has been heated to 260 °C and above. Fluorinated materials are safe in normal use but can decompose into very dangerous substances (which may include hydrofluoric acid) if they are heated to 260 °C and above.
