Mounting instructions VacuStar L400 Technical data Lubricating oil Only single grade oils with the following specification are permitted for operation: Specification Value CF/CF4 or higher ACEA E2 or higher Viscosity: Suction temperature > 10 °C: SAE 40 Suction temperature < 10 °C: SAE 30 Tab.
Design 4 Design Fig. 2: Design VacuStar L400 with and without a four-way switching valve A: Compressor vacuum pump operation with four-way switching valve The air feed direction (suction or pressure) is selected by the position of the switching lever.
(pos. 11). Lubrication The VacuStar L400 is lubricated by means of an oil pump. Oil is pumped from the oil reservoir via the oil lines to the VacuStar L400's lubricating points.
Secure against vibrations Securely fasten the VacuStar L400 prior to transport (e.g. screw it onto a pallet) Transport and put down the VacuStar L400 with a fork lift or secure with straps and lift with suitable lifting gear.
If necessary, brush up or recondition the preservation. In case of extended storage or extended downtimes, one desiccant bag each should be inserted in the inlets and outlets. The bags must be removed again before the VacuStar L400 is started.
Therefore: – Always keep the working area clean. – Remove objects that are not required. – Mark tripping points with yellow-and-black tape. Please observe all safety instructions as per the operating instructions "VacuStar L400", chapter Occupational safety...

Be accessible for maintenance and repair work e.g. for replacing the air filter cartridge, or for checking the safety and non-return valve. The VacuStar L400 must not be installed on a closed ground plate. There must be sufficient free space for discharge of cooling air. Assembly Attach the VacuStar L400 with screws as per Tab.
Connect suction and pressure pipe at the 2“ thread Assembly Observe that pipes connected to the connection flange do not protrude over the sealing face to the VacuStar L400. Max. screw-in depth: 19 mm. Requirements Corrosion-proof ...
– Never block the safety valve. The German accident prevention regulations require a non- lockable safety valve to be installed after the VacuStar L400 at the pressure side. This valve must be selected such that it prevents the pressure to exceed the highest permissible operating pressure by more than 10 %.
The ventilation valve can be procured from CVS! 6.8.3 Non-return valve The non-return valve prevents a backflow of air from the pressure line into the VacuStar L400 when the VacuStar L400 is stopped. Assembly Install the non-return valve (min. DN 50) after the safety valve.
Mounting instructions VacuStar L400 Installation and assembly Requirements for VacuStar L400 in The filter casing must be pressure and vacuum-resistant. compressor vacuum pump A filter mesh of less than 0.1 mm must be provided for the operation setup with suction vehicles.
Mounting instructions VacuStar L400 Installation and assembly 6.8.6 Cell ventilation valve Assembly The VacuStar L400 has been prepared for operation with cell ventilation. The cell ventilation connection is located opposite of the pressure and suction connection. Observe the following points during installation: Install fresh air line (6) between the cell ventilation connection at the compressor (Fig.
11 Bore M12 for additional attachment 6.8.7 Safety tank Requirements The safety tank (min. 2.5 litre) protects the VacuStar L400 from sucking in liquids. It must comply with the following requirements: Incoming air must not contact the liquid directly ...
With atmospheric suction (pressure operation) no more than 1 l of liquid must be suctioned into the VacuStar L400 per hour. When the liquid volume in the container is reached, the line to the VacuStar L400 must close.
– Selection and design are within the responsibility of the system builder. – Do not route axial forces into the VacuStar L400 shaft when installing drive components. – Do not tap couplings or other connection components onto the shaft, but slide them on.
Mounting instructions VacuStar L400 Installation and assembly 6.9.1 V belt drive ATTENTION! The maximum permissible belt tensile force must not exceed 2,500 N. Observe the design, installation and inspection instructions of the manufacturer. Assembly Select V-belt drive according to Tab. 7.
ATTENTION! Observe the ratings, installation instructions and inspection intervals from the manufacturer. The hydraulic motor is installed to the VacuStar L400 via an intermediate flange. The power is transmitted via a flexible coupling. Components that match the VacuStar L400 can be ordered from CVS.
– Pay attention to tidiness and cleanliness in the working area! Loosely stacked or scattered components and tools are accident sources. Please observe all safety instructions as per the operating instructions "VacuStar L400", chapter "Occupational safety and special danger".
Check the attachment screws. (see page 19, chapter 6.6.) Start-up Proceed as follows during start-up: Pay attention to permissible inclination of the VacuStar L400 Open shut-off devices (if available) Start the VacuStar L400 drive (engage gently). ...
120 °C at 0.5 mbar excess pressure 7.3 Switching off Switching of the VacuStar L400: Switch off drive for the VacuStar L400. Close the shut-off valves (if installed) Drain the safety tank. Tank may not be under pressure then.
