Installation Directional arrow View of the fan blade If the direction of rotation on the vacuum unit is incorrect, switch it off immediately and reverse the connection in the power plug. Check the direction of rotation once again. 6.3.2 Connecting the Signal-emitting Electrical Line The vacuum unit has a plug connector with a potential-free contact.
Page 19
Installation Connector Connect the supplied mating connector to a three- wire cable (L connection, N connection and protective ground). Check the switching process with a continuity tester (between L and N) by activating and deactivating the vacuum supply. Integrate the signal into the machine controller so that when the signal is interrupted ...
Installation 6.4 Fluid Connections CAUTION Compressed air or vacuum in direct contact with the eye Severe eye injury Wear eye protection Do not look into compressed air openings Do not look into the silencer air stream Do not look into vacuum openings such as suction cups, suction lines and hoses.

Installation The vacuum unit is operated in continuous operation by default. After switching on, the vacuum pump builds a vacuum up to approx. -930 mbar. After opening the vacuum connection, the vacuum will drop slightly depending on the seal tightness (e.g. the seal tightness of the workpiece, the condition of the seals, etc.) of the vacuum system.

Installation 6.5.2 Fill Level Monitor for the Liquid Separator Any liquid contained in the suctioned media is collected in the liquid separator. The level of the liquid can be observed using the visual fill level indicator in the sight glass. When the critical filling level V1 is reached, the vacuum pump is switched off in order to avoid damage caused by liquid that is sucked in.
Page 23
Installation The critical fill level is marked in red on the measuring stick in the sight glass. Close the suction connection. Switch off the vacuum unit at the power switch. Vent the system by opening the suction connection to the atmosphere Before opening the blow-off valve, ensure that the operating vacuum has completely dispersed.

Allow the components to cool down before commencing work on the product. 10.2 Maintenance Schedule SCHUNK stipulates the following checks and inspection intervals. The operator must comply with the legal regulations and safety regulations applicable at the location of use. These intervals apply to single-shift operation.
Maintenance 10.3 Oil Quantity and Oil Change WARNING Waste oil gets into the environment Risk to health and the environment Proper disposal of the waste oil according to the country- specific and official regulations The maintenance intervals are very dependent on the individual operating conditions.
Maintenance 10.4 Maintenance of Pump Oil NOTICE Insufficient or incorrect maintenance of the pump oil Damage to the vacuum pump Observe the maintenance instructions of the pump manufacturer To separate the oil in the vacuum pump from condensed liquids, the oil must be serviced at regular intervals. With the help of the gas ballast valve, the accumulation of condensates from the process gas in the vacuum pump is counteracted.
Maintenance 10.5 Emptying the Liquid Reservoir NOTICE Open the blow-off valve when there is a vacuum in the storage reservoir Ignore the audible liquid fill level warning Separated liquid is drawn into the vacuum pump and leads to the destruction of the pump motor. Make sure that the power plug is OFF before each blow-off process.
