Page 22: Maintenance And Repair
For details and for the online ”Instructions for repair” man- ual see www.vacuubrand.com. In normal use, the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is typically 15,000 operating hours. Bearings have a typical durability of 40000 h. - Page 23 page 23 of 76 occurred. Use appropriate protective clothing, safety goggles and protective gloves. ☞ Wear parts have to be replaced regularly. ☞ Never operate a defective or damaged pump. ☞ Vent the pump before starting maintenance. Isolate the pump and other components from the vacuum system. Allow sufficient cooling of the pump.

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 25 page 25 of 76 • 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).

Page 37: Use And Operation
page 37 of 76 Use and operation Apart from a short description of the VACUU•SELECT operating panel, ® this manual describes the mechanical structure of the diaphragm pump. Operation of the VACUU•SELECT vacuum controller and its func- ® tions are described in the separate VACUU•SELECT manual. - Page 38 page 38 of 76 • Reduce the transmission of vibration. Prevent mechan- ical load due to rigid pipelines. Insert elastic hoses or flexible elements as couplings between the pump and rigid pipes. Note: Flexible elements will compress or flatten when evacuated if not designed for use under vacuum.
- Page 39 page 39 of 76 When assembling, ensure vacuum-tightness. After as- sembly, check the whole system for leaks. Secure hose connections at the pump appropriately, e.g., with hose clamps, to protect against accidental detach- ment. To reduce pump noise emanating from the pump exhaust port, connect an exhaust hose or use a silencer (see “Ac- cessories”, pg.

(e.g., VACUU•SELECT Sensor, etc.) has to be connected to the operating panel. The VACUU•SELECT Controller can only be operated with components compatible with the VACUUBRAND VACUU•BUS system, (see “Accessories”, pg. 52). The vacuum controller controls VACUUBRAND VARIO diaphragm pumps and optional coolant and venting valves. - Page 41 page 41 of 76 Connect the VACUU•SELECT Sensor via hose or small flange connection to the vacuum application. Do not mount the sensor directly at the pump but close to the applica- tion. The cross-section of the tubing should be as large as possible.

- Page 44 page 44 of 76 During operation ➨ Vent and dispose of potentially dangerous gases or vapors at the outlet of the pump appropriately. ☞ Due to the high compression ratio, the pump might generate overpressure at the outlet. Check pressure compatibility with system components (e.g., exhaust tubing or exhaust valve) at the outlet.

Page 45: Important Notes Regarding The Use Of Gas Ballast
page 45 of 76 Check the pump regularly for external soiling and depos- its. Clean the pump if necessary to avoid an increase of the pump’s operating temperature. Operation with silencer (optional) at the outlet: Operating the pump at a high inlet pressure or pumping dusty gases for a long time may cause clogging of the silencer. - Page 46 page 46 of 76 This constitutes a risk of significant damage to equip- ment and/or facilities, a risk of personal injury or even loss of life. ☞ Make sure that air/gas intake through the gas ballast valve can never lead to hazardous, explosive or oth- erwise dangerous mixtures.

Page 47: Shutdown & Storage
page 47 of 76 Shutdown & storage The pump can be switched off under vacuum. Short-term: Has the pump been exposed to condensate? - Allow the pump to continue to run at atmospheric pres- sure for a few minutes. Has the pump been exposed to media which may damage the pump materials or form deposits? - Check and clean pump heads if necessary. -
Page 48: Readjustment Of Vacuum Sensor
page 48 of 76 Readjustment of vacuum sensor The device was adjusted using factory standards, which are traceable through regular calibration in an accredited laboratory (DAkkS calibration laboratory) to the German national pressure standard. Depending on the process and/or accuracy requirements, check the adjustment and readjust if necessary. - Page 49 page 49 of 76 Note: Adjustment under vacuum with an actual pressure higher than 0.1 Torr (mbar) reduces the accuracy of the measurement. If the pressure is significantly higher than 0.1 Torr (mbar), adjustment to a reference pressure is rec- ommended.
