Handling and Setting up (pictures
Pumps that have reached operating temperature may have
a surface temperature at position (Q) of more than 70°C.
WARNING! Do Not Touch.
Filter housing (D), oil filler ports (H, H
(K, K
), gas ballast (U) and oil separator housing (T) must all be easily
1
accessible. The cooling air entries (E) and the cooling air exits (F) must
have a minimum distance of 20 cm from any obstruction. The dis-
charged cooling air must not be re-circulated. For maintenance
purposes we recommend a space of 0.5 m in front of the filter housing
and oil separator.
The VC pumps can only be operated reliably if they are installed
horizontally.
For installations that are higher than 1000 m above sea level
there will be a loss in capacity. For further advice please
contact your supplier.
When installed on a solid base, the pumps may be installed without
fixing down. If the pumps are installed on a base plate we would
recommend fitting anti vibration mounts. This range of vacuum pumps
are almost vibration free in operation.
Installation (pictures
and
For operating and installation follow any relevant national
standards that are in operation.
1. The vacuum connection (A) is situated on the filter housing (D).
The air handled can be emitted into the atmosphere through the exhaust port (B) or by utilising an exhaust pipe.
Long and/or small bore pipework should be avoided as this tends to reduce the capacity of the pump.
The exhaust port (B) must not be obstructed or partly obscured.
2. The lubricating oil (for recommended brands see under servicing) can be put into the pump at the oil filler port (H) of the oil separator housing,
until the oil level shows at the upper mark of the oil sight glass (l). After filling, make sure the oil filler port is closed.
3. The electrical data can be found on the data plate (N) or the motor data plate. The motors correspond to DIN/VDE 0530 and have IP 54
protection and insulation class F. The connection diagram can be found in the terminal box on the motor (unless a special plug connection is
fitted). Check the electrical data of the motor for compatibility with your available supply (voltage, frequency, permissible current etc.).
4. Connect the motor via a motor starter. It is advisable to use thermal overload motor starters to protect the motor and wiring. All cabling used
on starters should be secured with good quality cable clamps.
We recommend that motor starters should be used that are fitted with a time delayed trip resulting from running beyond the amperage setting.
When the unit is started cold, overamperage may occur for a short time.
The electrical installation may only be made by a qualified electrician under the observance of EN 60204. The main switch must
be provided by the operator.
Initial Operation (pictures
1. Initially switch the pump on and off for a few seconds to check the direction of rotation against the direction arrow (O).
2. Connect the suction pipe at (A).
3. Run the pump for two minutes using the correct rotation. Stop pump and top up the oil using the oil filler port (H) to the correct level (see sight
glass (l)). Repeat this process until the oil cooler is completely full.
On no account open the oil filler port when the pump is operating.
4. The operating range can be adjusted by turning off the adjusting bolt (X) (see picture
5. Vacuum regulating valve (optional extra):
The vacuum can be adjusted by turning the regulating valve according to the symbols as
indicated on the top of the regulating valve.
Potential risks for operating personnel
1. Noise Emission: The worst noise levels considering direction and intensity measured according
to DIN 45635 part 3 (as per 3. GSGV) are shown in the table at the back. When working
permanently in the vicinity of an operating pump we recommend wearing ear protection to avoid
any damage to hearing.
2. Oil mist in the Exhaust Stream: Even with the high efficiency oil mist eliminator the exhausted
air could still contain extremely low amounts of oil mist which can occasionally be detected by
smell. Permanent inhalation of these mists may result in health problems, therefore it is
extremely important to make sure that the installation area is well ventilated.
