Basic Safety Instructions Basic Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 General Information CAUTION ! To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock, and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and the proper usage of the equipment ·...
Basic Safety Instructions CAUTION ! Solid particles in the pumping medium impair the pumping action and can lead to damage. Prevent solid particles penetrating into the pump! 2.4 Hazardous Substances CAUTION ! The operating company bears the responsibility for the use of the rotary vane pump. Hazardous substances in the gases to be pumped can cause personal injuries and property damage.
Description Description 3.1 Design The CRVpro series vacuum pumps are oil-sealed, two-stage Rotary vane pumps. The drive motor is directly flange-mounted onto the motor cover of the pump holder and the pump shaft and the motor shaft are connected to each other by an elastic coupling. The bearings of the interior pump body are force-fed lubricated sliding bearings.
Description 3.4 Function 3.4.1 Principles of Vacuum Pump Operation The main purpose of a vacuum pump is to reduce the pressure in a vessel or a closed system. The degree of pressure reduction is dependent upon the requirements of the application and the type of vacuum pump employed.

Description Fig. 3 Pre-stage / high stage When in operation, the intake stage is at lower pressure and the exhaust stage is at higher pressure relative to each other. Each stage contains a rotor assembly consisting of a rotor with two vanes and a stator.
Description pressure of the pump and its system. No matter how much additional pumping time is provided, no further reduction in system pressure will be accomplished once ultimate pressure is attained. Intake Anti-suck back Protection When power to the pump is turned off, this device closes automatically, maintaining vacuum in the system being evacuated, and vents the inside of the pump to atmospheric pressure.

Description When pumping condensable vapours, they may be compressed during the compression phase above the saturated vapour pressure and condense. This causes considerable deterioration in the vacuum pump’s performance: · ultimate pressure is not achieved · corrosion occurs · heavy oil contamination and formation of emulsions CAUTION ! Operating with gas ballast increases the operating temperature of the vacuum pump by 5 –...

Installation and Operation Installation and Operation 5.1 Unpacking Carefully unpack the rotary vane pump. Keep all paperwork and inspection tags for future reference. Check the pump for: · Transport damage · Conformity with the specifications of the supply contract (model, electrical supply data) ·...
Installation and Operation 5.4 General References CAUTION ! On continuous operation it’s recommended to run the pump below 10mbar maximum vacuum pressure. According to its intended use the capacity of the vacuum pump depends on: · the kind of assembly ·...
Installation and Operation 5.5.1 Connecting to the Electricity Supply The standard pump is supplied with complete electrical wiring. It is connected via an appliance cable and a power supply plug. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Installation and Operation 5.5.2 Installation of the Grounding Plug ONLY RELEVANT FOR UL (115V, 230V / 60HZ) OPERATION This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
Installation and Operation 5.5.3 Change the Voltage Setting Depending on the order number, pump are factory wired for low voltage (LV) 115V / 60Hz or high voltage (HV) 220-240V / 50Hz; 230V / 60Hz. If necessary the voltage setting can be changed as followed: 10.
Installation and Operation 5.6 Starting-up Observe the basic safety instructions when using the pump. Before using the pump for the first time, it is recommended to spend a few minutes inspecting the pump and its electrical and vacuum connections. Please notice the information which are listed in chapter 5 Installation and Operation.
Installation and Operation 5.8 Oil for Drawing off Oxygen WARNING ! Pump should be not used for oxygen service! Oxygen at atmospheric pressure is exceptionally dangerous! For drawing off oxygen containing mixtures or pure oxygen the following must be taken into consideration: ·...
Installation and Operation suitable solvent in a fume hood. Thoroughly clean and dry the trap before reinstalling in the system. 5.11 Side Panel Fitting Port Some applications call for a gas purge using a clean dry gas such as nitrogen. An external gas supply can be routed into the gas ballast assembly using that port.
Installation and Operation 5.13 Storage The pumps are to be stored in a low-dust, interior room within the temperature range from + 5 to + 40 °C and at a relative air humidity < 90%. Leave the protective elements on the suction and pressure ports. Another equally good protection may be used.
Maintenance and Servicing Maintenance and Servicing Under normal operating conditions the maintenance of the rotary vane pump is limited to: · external cleaning · checking running noises · checking the level and quality of the oil · regular oil changes These maintenance intervals must be specified according to the prevailing operating conditions and adhered to.
Maintenance and Servicing Oil fill plug Oil drain plug Lower marking MIN Oil sight glass Upper marking FULL Fig. 11 Oil level control 6.2 Oil Colour Check WARNING ! The condition and quality of the pump oil have a substantial effect upon the performance and operational readiness of the vacuum pump! Comparing the colour of a sample of the pump oil with fresh oil provides an indication of the contamination of the pump oil.
Maintenance and Servicing WARNING ! Avoid skin contact with the oil! Dispose of the oil in accordance with the valid environmental protection regulations! 6.3.2 Filling up with Oil 1. Switch off the pump, disconnect from the power outlet and from the vacuum system. 2.
Maintenance and Servicing 6.3.4 Frequency of Oil Changes The oil change interval is completely dependent upon the running conditions of temperature, operating pressure, hours of daily operation, and upon the materials pumped. Clean, dry air at pressures below 0.7 mbar (50 mtorr) are the most forgiving conditions. To determine your own oil change interval, visually monitor the pump oil conditions at regular intervals.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Only manufacturing firm and authorized service workshops may work on the pump and their accessories during the warranty period.
