Operation; Start Up - Edwards GXS Series Instruction Manual

4. Operation

WARNING:
Do not operate the dry pumping system with the lifting eyebolts fitted or with any
enclosure panels removed or damaged. Do not touch any parts of the pump(s) when
the dry pumping system is on. Surfaces of the pumps are very hot and can cause
injury to people.
WARNING:
Do not operate the dry pumping system with any enclosures removed or damaged as
there may be a risk of an electric shock.

4.1 Start up

WARNING:
Ensure that it is safe to start the dry pumping system. Failure to do so (for example,
maintenance is being performed on components downstream of the dry pumping
system) could cause injury to people.
WARNING:
After the power is applied, all mains circuits will be energised.
CAUTION:
The dry pumping system is designed to ride through transient power interruptions
and to automatically restart once the power is restored.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the pump if the pipeline is restricted or blocked as the pump will not
operate correctly and may be damaged.
1. Switch on the cooling water and purge gas supply.
2. Switch on the electrical supply.
3. Check that the exhaust extraction system is not restricted and the valves in the
exhaust extraction system are open.
The pump can be started using either the MCM MicroTIM, the PDT, the front panel
control or by commands sent using the serial interfaces. Refer to
page 11 for the information about taking the control of the dry pumping system.
