Storage Store the pump as follows: 1. Make sure that the pump is shut down as given in Shut down the pump page 24, and disconnect the pump from the electrical supply. 2. Disconnect the pump inlet and outlet from your process and exhaust pipelines.
Installation Installation 5.1. Safety WARNING: INSTALLATION SAFETY Risk of injury to people and damage to equipment. Obey the safety instructions given below and take note of appropriate precautions. There must be sufficient lighting for the personnel to read all the relevant safety labels on the system.
Installation 1. Use a forklift truck or a pallet truck to place the pallet in a convenient position. 2. Remove the packing materials. It is recommended that you retain all packing materials for use if the pump is to be returned for service. 3.
(Fuse type C). The DSS pump will start automatically when the electrical supply is turned on. If you do not want the pump to automatically restart, connect the electrical supply to the pump motor through a control equipment which must be manually reset after an electrical supply interruption.

Earth (Ground) connection It is mandatory that the pump is connected to a suitable factory/plant Earth (ground) and a secondary earth grounding using the same location as shown in Figure: Secondary Earth (ground). Note: The exhaust /inlet tubes are not suitable earthing points. Figure 4 Secondary Earth (ground) Mandatory secondary earth Mandatory secondary earth...
Installation 2. Watch the cooling fan through a grid in the cooling air inlet, switch on the pump for one or two seconds, then switch the pump off. 3. If the cooling fan does not rotate in the correct direction shown by the arrow on the cover: Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.
Installation ▪ If necessary, contact us or your supplier for advice on the inlet isolation valves, outlet check valves or other components suitable for your application and system design. Procedure to connect an inlet of the pump to your process system is as follows: 1.
Installation 5.8. Leak test the installation WARNING: SYSTEM LEAKAGE Risk of injury or damage to equipment. Leak test the system after installation and maintenance. Seal any leaks found to prevent the leakage of dangerous substances out of the system and leakage of air into the system. Leak test the system after installation and seal all the leaks found.
Operation Operation WARNING: HOT SURFACES Risk of burns from hot surfaces. During operation, some parts of the pump become hot, these areas are identified by 'hot surface' labels. Do not touch these areas of the pump and avoid accidental contact between these areas of the pump and electrical cables and wires.
Operation ▪ Achieve ultimate vacuum ▪ Pump dry gases. Figure 5 Gas ballast - closed Gas ballast ON (opened in counter‑clockwise direction). Use this setting to: ▪ Pump low concentrations of condensable vapours ▪ Remove all the contamination from the pump. Figure 6 Gas ballast - open 6.1.2.
Maintenance Maintenance 7.1. Safety WARNING: MAINTENANCE SAFETY Risk of injury or damage to equipment. Obey the safety instructions given below and take note of appropriate precautions. If you do not, you can cause injury to people and damage to equipment. WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES Risk of electric shock.
Maintenance 9. Do the leak test of the system after installation is completed and seal all the leaks found to prevent leakage of dangerous substances out of the system and leakage of air into the system. See Leak test the installation on page 22.
Maintenance 3. Make sure that all the electrical connections are secure, tighten the loose connections. 7.2.3. Clean the exhaust silencer WARNING: SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS Risk of injury and damage to equipment. Follow all the safety instructions and safety precautions when you clean the exhaust silencer. Safety precautions ▪...
Maintenance 6. Look through the inlet and outlet connections and inspect the visible internal surfaces (use a torch if necessary) for deposits or signs of corrosion. If the silencer is heavily contaminated or corroded, the silencer must be replaced. 7. Refit the drain plugs and replace the O-rings if damaged. 8.
Maintenance 5. Remove the one screw which secure the Orbit scroll cover. 6. Attach the syringe with the syringe adapter firmly into the hole. Make sure that the O-ring is not damaged. 7. Push the entire content of the syringe into the hole. Apply additional force to counter the resistance.
Maintenance 7.3. Overhaul the pump We recommend that the pump is given a major overhaul in STC after 32000 hours. Such an overhaul is outside the scope of this manual and must be done by service personnel qualified by us. Contact us or your supplier for more information.
Fault finding Fault finding Fault The pump does not operate Cause The pump is not connected to the electrical supply. Remedy The pump must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply. Cause The electrical supply voltage does not match the product requirements. Remedy Check the product label.
