Intended use
☞
The pump and all system parts are not to be used on humans or animals.
☞
Prevent any part of the human body from coming in contact with the vacuum.
☞
Make sure that the individual components are only connected, combined and
operated according to their design and as indicated in the instructions for use.
☞
Comply with notes on correct vacuum and electrical connections, see section
”Use and operation”.
• The pumps are designed for
ambient temperatures
during operation between
+10°C and +40°C. Check the maximum temperatures if installing the pump in a
cabinet or a housing and make sure ventilation is adequate. Install an external
automatic ventilation system if necessary. If pumping hot process gases make
sure that the maximum permitted gas inlet temperature, which depends on sev-
eral parameters like inlet pressure or ambient temperature (see ”Technical data”),
is not exceeded.
•
Particles and dust must not be aspirated.
Use the equipment
for the intended use only
, i.e. for generation of vacuum in ves-
sels designed for that purpose.
Setting up and installing the equipment
➨
Equipment must be connected only to a
suitable fused and protected electri
-
cal supply
and a suitable earth point. Failure to connect the motor to ground may
result in deadly electrical shock.
The supply cable may be fitted with a moulded European IEC plug or a plug suit-
able for your local electrical supply. If the plug has been removed or has to be
removed, the cable will contain wires colour coded as follows: green or green and
yellow: earth; blue or white: neutral; brown or black: live.
☞
Do not permit any
uncontrolled pressurizing
(e.g. make sure that the exhaust pipe-
line cannot become blocked). If you have an exhaust isolation valve, make sure that
you cannot operate the equipment with the valve closed.
Risk of bursting!
☞
Provide always a free and pressureless exhaust pipeline.
• Comply with
maximum permissible pressures
at inlet and outlet and pressure
differences, see section ”Technical data”. Do not operate the pump with overpres-
sure at the inlet.
