Equipment (Product): ME 8SI 100-230 V 50/60 Hz
Material No.: 696190
Instructions for use for the standard equipment: ME 8
In particular, the following differences have to be considered:
The diaphragm pump is equipped with silencers at the outlets and a vacuum adjustment device at the inlet.
Inlet via a protective filter.
The pump ME 8SI is equipped with a dual-voltage motor (100-120 V / 200-230 V; 50/60 Hz).
☞ The equipment must be connected to a suitable fused and protected electrical
supply and a suitable earth point (recommended slow-blow fuse according to
rated current, see ”Technical data”) only. Failure to connect the motor to ground
may result in deadly electrical shock.
☞ Before switching on the pump check that mains voltage and current conform
with the equipment.
☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ Check that the voltage changeover switch is positioned correctly.
Attention: If the pump is switched on with the voltage not correctly selected,
the motor may be damaged.
Attention:
Before starting the pump, check that
the voltage selection switch is
correctly positioned.
Change the selection at the voltage
changeover switch only if the pump
is separated from mains.
Voltage selection switch:
Use a screw driver to adjust the supply
voltage on the voltage changeover
switch at the terminal box of the pump:
”115” corresponds to 100-120V and
”230” corresponds to 200-240V.
Selecting the supply voltage:
Pumps with dual-voltage motor: The motor is shut down by a thermal cutout in the
winding.
☞ Manual reset is necessary. Switch off the pump or isolate the equipment from mains.
Wait approx. five minutes before restarting the pump.
