Page 12: Setting Up And Installing The Equipment
page 12 of 88 + The pumps are designed for ambient temperatures during operation between +50°F and +104°F (+10°C and +40°C). Periodically check maximum tempera- tures if installing the pump in a cabinet or a housing. Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recom- mended operating temperature. - Page 13 page 13 of 88 patibility with system components (e.g., exhaust pipe- line or exhaust valve) at the outlet. + Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing. Make sure that the exhaust tubing cannot become blocked to avoid a risk of bursting! + Keep the electrical power cord away from heated sur- faces.

Do not place the pump on soft surfaces (e.g., rubber foam) during operation. This may reduce the air circulation in the pump housing and affect the fan’s cooling effect. -
Page 15: Operating Conditions
page 15 of 88 • This product may only be used indoors in a non-explo- sive atmosphere, and in a dry environment. Adopt suitable measures in case of differences from recommended conditions, e.g., installation in higher altitudes (risk of insufficient cooling), conductive pollu- tion or external condensation on the pump. - Page 16 page 16 of 88 Do not pump: - unstable substances - substances which react explosively under impact (mechanical stress) without air - substances which react explosively when being ex- posed to elevated temperatures without air, - substances subject to auto-ignition, - substances which are inflammable without air - explosive substances.

Page 17: Safety During Operation
page 17 of 88 Safety during operation ➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan- gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or pollut- ing fluids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission of such substances from the pump outlet, install an appropriate collecting and disposal system and take protective action for pump and environment. - Page 18 page 18 of 88 (chemicals, thermal decomposition products of fluoro- elastomers). Use appropriate protective clothing and safety goggles. + Interruption of the pump (e.g., due to power failure), failure of connected components or of parts of the sup- ply, or change in parameters must not be allowed to lead to dangerous conditions.

Page 22: Important Information: Equipment Marking (Atex)
Important information: Equipment marking (ATEX) Only valid for products with ATEX marking. If the ATEX marking is shown on the rating plate of the respective product, VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG assures, that the device complies with the provi- sions of the directive 2014/34/EU. The applied harmonized stand- ards are indicated in the EC Declaration of Conformity of the Ma- chinery (see instructions for use). - Page 23 page 23 of 88 • The equipment is designated for a low degree of mechanical stress and has to be installed in a way so that it cannot be damaged from outside. Pumping units have to be installed so that they are protected against shocks from the outside and against glass splinters in the event of breakage (implosion).
