Safety Prior to handling the machine, this instruction manual should be read and understood. If anything needs to be clarified, please contact your Busch representative. Read this manual carefully before use and keep for future reference. This instruction manual remains valid as long as the customer does not change anything on the product.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch. The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment. The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure, see Technical Data.
● Check if the process gases are compatible with those following materials: - Cast iron - Steel - Fluoroelastomer (FKM/FPM) ● In doubt, please contact your Busch representative. Start Controls The machine is equipped with a variable speed drive. Standard Features 2.4.1...
2 | Product Description 2.4.3 Sealing Systems The machine is equipped with labyrinth seals on the motor side and suction side. Sealing systems prevent the process gas going to the bearings chambers. Depending on the application, the sealing systems efficiency can be improved with a barrier gas sys- tem, see Barrier Gas System [➔ 8].
In order to avoid reverse rotation after switching off, the machine can be equipped with an inlet check valve. The inlet check valve also prevents fast venting of the connected vacuum system. The inlet check valve can also be equipped with a pressure sensor (please contact your local Busch representative for further information). Description...
3 | Transport Transport WARNING Suspended load. Risk of severe injury! ● Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads. WARNING Lifting the machine using the motor eye bolt. Risk of severe injury! ● Do not lift the machine using the eye bolt fitted to the motor. Only lift the machine as shown. NOTICE In case the machine is already filled with oil.
