PVM Technical Information and Technical Catalog documents. Danfoss does not claim responsibility for the use of the pumps in operating conditions not allowed according to the information shown in this document and the standard PVM Technical Information documents.
Table 3: Fluid Viscosity and Temperature Rating of PVM ATEX / UKEX Units and limitations. We recommend the use of an oil type having a viscosity of 16 – 40 mm²/s [83 – 187 SUS] at the actual operating temperature. 8 | Vickers by Danfoss | January 2024 BC479055194216en-000101...
It is necessary to keep the level of oil contamination at an acceptable level to ensure problem-free operation. The recommended maximum level of contamination in systems in the hydraulic pumps is 20/18/13 (ISO 4406-1999). Further information can be found in the pump’s technical catalog.

(ground) for any static electricity which occurs on the pump. If this is not possible, a grounding wire needs to be attached to the pump housing. Consult Danfoss for recommendations on connection placement.
Check to make sure the purity of the oil is greater than 20/18/13 (ISO 4406-1999) and always use a filter when replenishing the system. Warning The pumps must be filled with fluid prior to any load applications Vickers by Danfoss | January 2024 BC479055194216en-000101 | 11...
The machine/system manufacturer is responsible for the proper project planning of the hydraulic system and its control. Danfoss recommends ongoing tests for optimal pump performance. Continuously verify that the temperature of the ambient and the operating oil are those initially determined.
In order to avoid mixing of different oils, when replacing the operating fluid. It is necessary to empty all the machinery and pipes, clean them carefully and clean the tank. Vickers by Danfoss | January 2024 BC479055194216en-000101 | 13...
For specific application inquiries contact Danfoss Technical Support. Pump components may only be replaced by genuine original Danfoss service parts which are also approved for use in explosive atmospheres. This also applies to the lubricants and service products used.
Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid. Vickers by Danfoss | January 2024 BC479055194216en-000101 | 15...
