• 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.
Keep a distance of minimum 8 in (20 cm) between fan and
adjacent equipment or casework.
Use connecting hoses with large diameter and keep them
as short as possible to avoid flow losses. Locate the pump
as closely as possible to the application.
Always install outlet tubing descending from the pump to
avoid backflow of condensate towards the pump.
Use a suitable valve to isolate the pump from the vacuum
application. This is to allow the pump to warm up before
pumping condensable vapors and to clean the pump after
use before it is switched off.
When assembling, ensure
vacuum-tightness. After as-
sembly, check the whole system for leaks.
Secure hose connections at the pump appropriately, e.g.,
with hose clamps, to protect against accidental detach-
ment.
To reduce pump noise emanating from the pump exhaust
port, connect an exhaust hose or use a silencer.
Separator (inlet) and
exhaust waste vapor condenser (outlet)
Separator at inlet (accessory; only with dia-
phragm pump)
:
The separator at the inlet protects against drop-
lets and particles from entering the pump.
+
Enhances lifetimes of diaphragms and
valves.
+
Improves vacuum performance in applica-
tions with condensable vapors.
➨
Assemble the separator at the inlet using the
centring ring and the clamping ring.
