Installation and connection Example Lift out the diaphragm pump > Please note that a dia- phragm pump can weigh approx. 31 kg. We recom‑ mend using a lifting aid. > Lift the device out of the packaging by the side han‑ dles.
Installation and connection Installing the vacuum pump > Place the vacuum pump on a stable, non‑vibrating, level sur‑ face. Example 5 cm Sketch of minimum distances in laboratory furniture 5 cm 5 cm > When installing in lab furniture, maintain a minimum distance IMPORTANT! of 5 cm (2 in.) to adjacent objects or surfaces.
Installation and connection 4.3 Controller base Controller base The base, controller, screw fittings and vacuum sensor are en‑ closed separately. Before installation, the base can be mounted on the pump and the controller clipped into place. Alternatively, the controller can be clipped into a recess in the lab furniture or used as a freestanding unit (unfold the stand).
Installation and connection 4.4 Connection Connection The diaphragm pumps have a vacuum connection and an outlet connection. Connect your diaphragm pump as described in the examples below. 4.4.1 4.4.1 Assemble silencer (Option) Assemble silencer (Option) Silencer at the WARNING outlet EX Risk of bursting due to internal overpressure at the silencer.
