Due to the high compression ratio, the pump may gen-
erate overpressure at the outlet. Check pressure com-
patibility with system components (e.g., exhaust pipe-
line or exhaust valve) at the outlet.
+
Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing. Make
sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked.
If there is an exhaust isolation valve, make sure that you
cannot operate the equipment with the valve closed to
avoid a risk of bursting!
+
Maximum permissible pressure at the pressure trans-
ducer: 21.8 psi (1.5 bar) absolute.
+
Keep the electrical power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
• Provide a firm, level platform for the equipment. Check
that the system which you are going to evacuate is
mechanically stable. Check that all fittings are secure.
Ensure a stable position of the pump without any me-
chanical contact other than the pump feet.
• Comply with maximum permissible pressures at in-
let and outlet and with maximum permissible pres-
sure differences between inlet and outlet. See section
“Technical data”, pg. 25. Do not operate the pump
with overpressure at the inlet.
• Avoid overpressure of more than 17.5 psi absolute (1.2
bar absolute) in the event that inert gas is connected to
the pump, to the gas ballast or to a venting valve.
• Note: Flexible elements will shrink when evacuated.
• Connect hoses gas tight at inlet and outlet of the pump.
• Ensure that no foreign objects can be drawn into the
pump.
• Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate
to be sure that the power source and the equipment
match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
