Secure the motor so that it cannot be switched on while any work is being performed on the pump. If necessary, dismantle the pump from the installation for inspection. The DUO 1.3 is equipped with a single phase motor with a built-in thermal protection Single phase motors switch.
Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Before switching on the pump Check the operating fluid level in the sight glass. Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the mains volt- age and frequency values. Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure 150 kPa absolute).

Operation To control the flow of the flushing gas externally, an electromagnetic valve can also be Gas ballast valve with used as an alternative to the versions described above. The valve makes it easier to op- solenoid valve erate the gas ballast and allows clean air or other gas to be let in in a process-controlled manner.
Operation 6.4 Switching off the pump The pump can be switched off in any pressure range. Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥ 250 hPa, then the valve clos- es automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
Certain repair and overhaul work should only be performed by Pfeiffer Vacuum Service Checklist for inspec- (PV). Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims if the required tion, maintenance intervals for inspection, maintenance, or overhaul are exceeded or inspection, mainte- and overhaul nance, repair or overhaul procedures are not performed properly.
Depending on the applications, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the ex- act service life of the operating fluid during the first year of operation. The replacement interval may vary from the guide value specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum depending on the thermal and chemical loads, and the accumulation of suspended par- ticles and condensation in the operating fluid.
