1.2 Description

Note: The following section refers to Figure 1 unless stated otherwise.
The E1M40, E1M80, E2M40 and E2M80 pumps are single or two-stage oil-sealed, high-vacuum pumps designed for reliable, long-term operation in both laboratory and industrial environments. A single-phase motor or a four-pole three-phase motor provides direct-drive through a flexible coupling. The pumps are free-standing mounted on steel runners.
The E1M (single-stage) pumps have a high-vacuum rotor and stator assembly with integral sliding-vane oil-pump. The E2M (two-stage) pumps have an additional low-vacuum rotor and stator assembly.
Lubrication is provided by a sliding vane oil pump. Oil is drawn into the pump through a wire mesh strainer. The oil is pumped to a spring-loaded distributor valve. The distributor valve directs a lightly-pressurised supply of oil to the main vacuum-pump and by-passes the excess back to the oil reservoir. Some of the excess oil is re-directed through a large area, fine-pore filter and some through a relief-valve. When you switch off an E2M40 or E2M80 pump with the gas ballast control closed, the spring loaded distributor valve provides oil and air suckback protection. The distributor valve provides only oil suckback protection when you switch off an E1M40 or E1M80 pump. To obtain air suckback protection when you switch off an E1M40 or E1M80 pump, you must fit a solenoid operated gas-ballast control valve: refer to the information in Section 1.3.
You can inspect the level and condition of oil in the oil box through an oil-level sight-glass (7). An oil filler-plug (6) is fitted at the top of the oil box. An oil drain-tap (8) is fitted at the bottom of the oil box.
Introduction
The inlet-port flange (4) is compatible with ISO40 or NW40 fittings. The outlet-port (5) has an NW25 flange.
The gas-ballast control (11) allows you to control the introduction of gas-ballast when pumping high vapour loads. Refer to Section 1.3 for more information about gas-ballast.
Refer to Section 7 for details about vibration isolators and other recommended accessories.

1.3 Gas-ballast

To pump high vapour loads, gas-ballast is delivered into the pump to prevent condensation of the vapour carried by the pumped gases. This system reduces oil contamination and pump corrosion caused by condensed vapour from the pumped gases.
You can introduce air or an inert gas into the low vacuum stage of the pump through the gas-ballast inlet (Figure 9, item 3). A filter/silencer is fitted in the gas-ballast system, to prevent the entry of dust into the pump and to improve silencing. You can control the gas-ballast either manually or remotely.
Note that the E1M40 and E1M80 pumps have a permanent air bleed through the gas-ballast inlet.

A344-02-880 Issue J
Introduction
For manual control, use the gas-ballast control (Figure 9, item 4). The pumps are supplied with an open gas-ballast inlet (Figure 9, item 3). If you leave this inlet open to the atmosphere, then:
With the gas-ballast control (Figure 9, item 4) open, when you switch the pump off, the pressure inside the
pump will rise to atmospheric pressure
With the gas-ballast control closed, when you switch the pump off:
E1M40 and E1M80: the pressure inside the pump will slowly rise to atmospheric pressure. (To maintain the
vacuum inside the pump, fit a solenoid operated gas-ballast control valve.)
E2M40 and E2M80: the vacuum will be maintained inside the pump.
For remote control, fit a solenoid-operated gas-ballast control valve (available as an accessory from Edwards, refer to Section 7) to the gas-ballast inlet and open the gas-ballast control. Connect the gas-ballast valve to your control system so that the valve is closed when the pump is switched off and if the electrical supply to the pump is interrupted. Under these circumstances, when the pump is switched off, the vacuum will be maintained inside the pump.
For more information about the use of gas-ballast, refer to Sections 3.10 and 4.1.

WARNING

3Installation

3.1 Safety

You must ensure that the pump is suitable for your application. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the pump for your application, refer to the Edwards guidelines on vacuum pump and vacuum system safety. (See Associated Publications at the end of the contents list).
Obey the safety instructions given below and take note of appropriate precautions. If you do not, you may cause injury to people and damage to equipment.
Obey the safety instructions listed below when you install the pump, especially when you connect the pump into an existing system. Details of specific safety precautions are given at the appropriate point in the instructions.
The installation of your pump must be performed by a suitably trained and supervised technician.
Wear the appropriate safety-clothing when you come into contact with contaminated components.
Vent and pu rge your vac uum syst em before you start installation work.
Installation
Ensure that the installation technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the pump-oil
and the products handled by the pumping system. Take suitable precautions to avoid the inhalation of oil mist and excessive skin contact with pump-oil, as prolonged exposure can be harmful.
Disconnect the other components in the pumping system from the electrical supply so that they cannot be
operated accidentally.

3.2 System design considerations

Consider the following points when you design your pumping system:
Use a suitable valve to isolate the pump from your vacuum system if you need to allow the pump to warm up
before you pump condensable vapours or if you need to maintain vacuum when the pump is switched off.
Avoid hig h level s o f heat inp ut to the pump from the process gases, otherwise the pump may overheat and
seize.
If you use the pump in a high ambient temperature and have a high gas throughput, the temperature of the
pump-body may exceed 70°C. You must fit suitable guards to prevent contact with hot surfaces.
Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked. If you have an exhaust-isolation valve, make
sure that you cannot operate the pump with the valve closed.
Provide for a purge of inert gas when you shut down the pumping system, to dilute dangerous gases to safe
concentrations. A suitable solenoid operated gas-ballast control valve for introduction of purge-gas into the pump is available as an accessory (see Section 7).

3.4 Locate the pump

Use suitable lifting equipment to move the pump. The mass of the pump is between 70.5 kg and 105 kg.
Attach your mechanical lifting equipment to the lifting eyes on the pump.
Provide a firm, level platform for the pump. Locate the pump so that the oil-level sight-glass is visible and the oil filler-plug, oil drain-tap, disposable oil-filter and gas-ballast control are accessible.
If your pump will be located inside an enclosure, make sure that there is adequate ventilation at both ends of the pump, so that the ambient temperature around the pump does not exceed 40°C. There must be a minimum space of 25 mm between the pump and the enclosure walls.

3.5 Fill the pump with oil

3.5.1 Recommended pump oils

Installation
If you use a hyrdocarbon oil in this pump, you must not use the pump to process oxygen in concentrations greater than 25% in volume. If you do, there is a risk of fire or explosion in the oil-box of the pump.
When the ambient temperature is 12°C or higher, we recommend that you use Edwards Ultragrade 70 oil. This tested and proven oil will give you the best performance, maintenance intervals and pump life. Otherwise, use another oil with the specification VG ISO 68.
If you pump oxygen or other dangerous gases and vapours, you must use a chemically inert and stable oil (such as perfluoropolyether). For information on pumping dangerous gases and vapours, refer to the Edwards guidelines on vacuum pump and vacuum system safety (see Associated Publications at the end of the contents list).

3.5.2 Filling procedure

Fill the pump with oil as described below. Refer to Figure 1 for the item numbers in brackets.
1. Remove the oil filler-plug (6)
2. Pour oil into the pump until the oil-level just reaches the MAX mark on the bezel at the top of the sight-glass (7). If the oil-level goes above the MAX mark, open the oil drain-tap (8) and drain the excess oil from the pump. When the oil-level falls to the MAX mark close the oil drain-tap (8).
3. After a few minutes, recheck the oil-level. If the oil-level is now below the MAX mark, pour more oil into the pump.
4. Refit the oil filler-plug (6). Tighten the plug firmly by hand. Do not over-tighten.

3.6 Electrical installation: single-phase motor

Note: The pump will restart automatically when the electrical supply is restored after an interruption. If you do
not want the pump to restart automatically, use electrical control equipment which must be reset manually.
1. Remove the motor terminal-box cover (Figure 1, item 10) and remove the 20 mm diameter plugs from the cable-entry hole that you will use for the electrical supply cable. Choose the most suitable hole for your application.
2. Fit a suitable cable-gland and nut to the entry hole. After the supply cable is fitted, the cable-gland must be a protective seal to the standard of IP44 in IEC 529 or better.
3. Pass the motor electrical supply cable through the cable-gland.
4. Connect the cables to the terminals as shown in Figure 4.
