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 (S), oil filler port (H), oil sight glass (I), oil drain plug (K) and exhaust cover (T) must all be easily accessible. The cooling air entries (E)
and the cooling air exits (F) must have a minimum distance of 20 cm from any obstruction. The discharged cooling air must not be re-circulated.
For maintenance purposes we recommend a space of 0.4 m in front of the filter housing and exhaust cover.
The CLFG 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
to fit 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 filter housing (S).
The air handled can be exhausted into the atmosphere through the exhaust port (B) or for version (02) 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 (recommended brands see under servicing) can be put into the pump at the oil filler port (H) of the oil tank, 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 B or 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. Run the pump for two minutes with correct rotation. Stop pump and top up the oil to the correct level (see sight glass (l)). On no account open
the oil filler port when the pump is operating.
3. Connect the suction pipe at (A).
4. Vacuum regulating valve:
The vacuum can be adjusted by turning the regulating valve (C) 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 separator the exhausted air could still contain extremely low amounts of
oil mist which can occasionally be detected by smell. Permanent breathing of these mists may result in health problems, therefore it is extremely
important to make sure that the installation area is well ventilated.
