☞ The user must take suitable precautions to prevent any formation of explosive mixtures
in the expansion chamber or at the outlet. In case of a diaphragm crack, mechanically
generated sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity may ignite these mixtures.
☞ Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous sub-
stances (chemicals, thermal decomposition products of fluoroelastomers), wear
appropriate safety-clothing and safety glasses.
☞ Comply with applicable regulations when disposing of chemicals. Take into consid-
eration that chemicals may be polluted.
The motor is shut down by a thermal cutout in the winding.
☞ Attention: Manual reset is necessary. Switch off the pump or isolate the equipment
from mains. Wait approx. five minutes before restarting the pump.
☞ Attention: In case of supply voltage below 100V, the lock of the cutout might be
restricted and the pump might restart on its own after sufficient cooling down. Take
suitable precautions, if an automatic restart of the pump may lead to a critical
dangerous situation.
☞ Avoid high heat supply (e. g. due to hot process gases).
☞ Ensure sufficient air admittance if pump is installed in a housing.
Due to the residual leak rate of the equipment, there may be an exchange of gas,
albeit extremely slight, between the environment and the vacuum system.
☞ Adopt suitable measures to prevent contamination of the pumped substances or
the environment.
Pumping at high inlet pressure may lead to overpressure at the gas ballast valve.
☞ Pumped gases or condensate might be pushed out in case the valve is open.
☞ If an inert gas supply is connected, ensure that the inlet pipeline is not contami-
nated.
Ensure that in case of failure, the pump and the vacuum system turn always into a
safe status.
☞ In case of leaks in the manifold pumped substances may leak into the environment
or in the pump housing or the motor.
☞ Comply especially with all notes on use and operation and on maintenance.
☞ Failure of the pump (e. g. due to power failure) must not lead to a critical dangerous
situation under any circumstances.
Use only genuine spare parts and accessories.
☞ Otherwise safety and performance of the equipment as well as the electromagnetic
compatibility of the equipment might be reduced. Possibly the CE mark or the C/US
conformity becomes void if not using genuine spare parts.
The A-weighed emission sound pressure level of the pump does not exceed 70 dB(A).
Measurement according to EN ISO 2151:2004 and EN ISO 3744:1995 with standard
silencer or exhaust tube at outlet.
Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitably trained and supervised technicians.
Ensure that the maintenance technician is familiar with the safety procedures which
relate to the product processed by the vacuum system and that the equipment, if
necessary, is appropriately decontaminated before starting maintenance.
Comply with local and national safety regulations.
