VACUUBRAND PC 8 m. RC 6 User Manual
Page 23
The pumps are marked with ”X” (according to EN 13463-1), i. e. restric-
tions of the operation conditions:
• The equipment is designated for a low degree of mechanical stress
and has to be installed in a way so that it cannot be damaged from
outside.
Pumping units have to be installed protected against shocks from the
outside and against glass splinters in the event of breaking (implo-
sion).
• The equipment is designated for an ambient and gas inlet tempera-
ture during operation of +10 to +40°C. Never exceed these ambient
and gas inlet temperatures. If pumping / measuring gases which are
not potentially explosive, extended gas inlet temperatures are valid,
see instructions for use, section “Gas inlet temperatures” or “Technical
data”.
After any intervention at the equipment (e.g., repair / maintenance) the ul-
timate vacuum of the pump has to be checked. Only if the pump achieves
its specified ultimate vacuum, the pump’s leak rate is low enough to en-
sure that no explosive atmospheres will occur in the interior of the equip-
ment.
After any intervention at the vacuum sensor the leak rate of the equip-
ment has to be checked.
