0. Introduction 0.1 Before using the vacuum pump Thank you for purchasing our vacuum pump (hereinafter called “pump”). When you have received the pump, check that the delivered pump is as per your order and that it has not been damaged in transportation, etc.
0.2 Safety symbols In this instruction manual and on warning labels attached to the pump, the following symbols are used so that matters which must be strictly adhered to can be readily understood. These symbols are divided as shown below. Danger When mishandled, there is an imminent danger of the operator suffering a fatal accident or serious injury.
0.3 Cautions for safety Danger When toxic or flammable gases are exhausted from the pump, they may leak not only from the pump outlet but also from the pump unit itself. Take proper measures suitable for the type of gas. Danger After the pump has been used for exhausting toxic gasses, not only the pump itself but also vacuum pump oil (hereinafter called “pump oil”) get toxic.

Warning Do not use the pump in an explosive atmosphere. Failure to do so will result in injury or fire. Warning Mount vacuum valve and leak valve between the vacuum chamber and pump. To stop the pump, always close vacuum valve and then open leak valve. If this procedure is neglected, the pump oil fills the cylinder, making restart difficult or causing damage to the pump.

Caution Fluoride rubber material is used for the internal parts of a pump. There are some for which the chemical resistance of Fluoride rubber material is not suitable. Especially, be careful of the following chemical. Ammonia, Acetone, Ethylene oxide, Ethylene diamine, Zinc acetate, Amyl acetate, Aluminum acetate, Isopropyl acetate, Ethyl acetate, Lead acetate, Calcium acetate, Cellosolve Acetate, Nickel acetate, Butyl acetate, Propyl acetate, Methyl acetate, Nitroethane, Nitropropane,...
Do not subject the pump to shocks or place the pump on its side. Doing so may damage the pump. 0.5 Protective device The pump is provided with a single-phase 100V 50/60Hz (GCD-051X, 136X), three-phase 200V 50/60Hz (GCD-201X) motor. An overload protector (manually reset thermal protector) is incorporated.

1. For Safe Operation 1.1 Hazards peculiar to the pump and safety measures Before operating or inspecting the pump, read this section carefully to fully understand potential hazards and prevention methods. 1.1.1 Danger Leakage of hazardous gases and substances Cause Prevention method and measures ⇒...
1.1.3 Warning Explosion Cause Prevention method and measures ⇒ The maximum internal pump pressure is 0.03 MPa (gauge The pressure in the pump increased causing the pump pressure). to explode. Measure the pressure at the outlet side and, if the pressure is 0.03 MPa or more (gauge pressure), remove objects which block the passage of gas from the outlet side.
This oil sealed rotary vacuum pump is a rotary vane pump (hereinafter called Gaede type pump) in which the pump is directly driven by the motor. Since the pump is small, light, and quite simply constructed, it is easily maintained and repaired. Table 1 Specification GCD-051X GCD-136X GCD-201X Model...
3. Installation 3.1 Installation The pump should be installed on a level surface in a location with minimal dust, dirt and humidity and be arranged with consideration given to ease of installation, removal, inspection and cleaning. Particular attention should be paid to the ambient temperature when building the pump into equipment.
(1) Oil level shown on the oil level gauge (2) Lubrication method Fig. 4 Lubrication of the oil sealed rotary vacuum pump Caution ① Wear protective equipment such as rubber gloves and safety goggles. ② Be sure to read the attached “Safety Data Sheet” before adding oil. If the oil accidentally comes into contact with your hands or enters your eyes, take proper measures in accordance with the section “First-aid treatment”...
3.3 Vacuum piping (1) Before connecting the pipe to the pump, clean the inner walls of the vacuum chamber, piping and vacuum valve to completely eliminate moisture, fine particles, dust, dirt and rust. Note If fine particles, dust or dirt, etc are evacuated, the pump may malfunction. If moisture is evacuated, not only does the ultimate pressure increase but also the inside of the pump becomes rusty causing the pump to malfunction.
3.4 Electric wiring 3.4.1 GCD-051X・136X (in the case of GCD-201X single phase motor specification) (1) This pump has performed beforehand electric wiring by the side of a pump. (2) Please insert the plug of the power cord of a pump in the wall socket of single phase 100V.
3.5 Fluctuations in the power voltage and frequency Standard: Rotation electricity machine general rules JIS C 4034-1:1999,JEC-2137-2000 To the voltage change and frequency change in Domain A, in main rated values, it operates continuously, and can be used practically convenient, and to the voltage change and frequency change in Domain B, it shall operate with main rated values and shall be used practically convenient.

Warning It will cause a serious damage or movement failure to the motor of GCD-051X in case of impressing the inverter controlled pressure is given towards the motor of GCD-051X itself. Please carefully be noted and do not take the above action.
4. Operation 4.1 Cautions for operation Warning There is a risk of explosion. Never block the outlet or operate the pump with equipment mounted at the outlet side which blocks the passage of gas. Otherwise, the pump internal pressure increases causing the pump to explode, the oil level gauge to protrude or the motor to be overloaded.
4.2 Start of operation To start operation, close leak valve (B), open vacuum valve (A) to the inlet port, and turn on the power switch. Then the pump starts beings to exhaust (see Fig. 5). Caution ① Firing hazard. Do not touch the motor or the pump body as these surface temperature should be higher (40~80℃).
The type of thermal protector to be used depends on the pump model. Table 3 Characteristics of the thermal protector Operating Non-operating Model characteristic characteristic GCD-051X 1φ,200W 25.0(A) at 25℃ 7.0(A) at 60℃ 1φ,400W 28.0(A) at 25℃ 7.8(A) at 60℃...
Caution Firing hazard. As the surface of the pump body is higher temperature(40~80℃) during operation, do not touch it until cooled down after stopping the pump. 4.7 Gas ballast valve The pump is equipped with a gas ballast valve in order to evacuate vapor and condensable gases such as solvent vapor.
4.8 Installation of the oil mist separators (Option) An oil mist separators can be installed in order to remove oil mist from the pump. In GCD-051X, it is an OMC -050 type, In GCD-136X,201X, they are an OMC-200 type. Attach in the outlet pipe of a pump by quick coupling of KF-25 (NW-25).
5. Pump Performance 5.1 Ultimate pressure The term “ultimate pressure” as employed in the catalogue and in this manual is defined as “the minimum pressure obtained by the pump without the introduction of gas from the pump inlet (i.e. the non-load condition).” For this pump, measurement is performed using the specified pump oil with only a Pirani vacuum gauge installed at the pump inlet port.
6. Maintenance, Inspection and Repair 6.1 Maintenance Check the following during operation at least once every three days. (1) Amount of pump oil (To be within the range shown with lines on the oil level gauge) (2) Discoloration of the pump oil (3) Abnormal sound (4) Problem with the motor current value (5) Oil leak from the oil seal...
