Installation Instructions
To be used in conjunction with the operating instructions.
1 Install the pump on a sound level surface.
2 Use suitable lifting equipment to move the pump. Attach the lifting equipment to the lifting eyes provided on the pump.
3 Ensure the pump is installed for ease of maintenance, so that the filters, regulators and oil sight glass (if fitted) are accessible.
4 Ensure that the pump is sited in a position where adequate and suitable cooling air can circulate freely around the pump. Any restrictions in cooling air
can cause premature failure of the pump. If necessary suitable forced air-cooling must be installed to protect the pump.
5 When connecting pipe work, provide flexible connection pipes so that the minimum diameter of the pipes corresponds to the connection thread size.
6 When pipes exceed 2M in length, increase the diameter to the next size. Narrow diameter pipes cause loss of pressure and poor efficiency.
7 Non-return valves must be fitted if there is a danger of reverse rotation when stopping the pump, due to the length of connection pipes.
8 Adequate and suitable filtration must be fitted to the pump to ensure long and trouble free life.
9 Ensure that no foreign bodies i.e. metal swarf, dust etc. are allowed to enter the intake and outlet of the pump.
10 Please ensure that the correct grade of oil is in the pump before use. (see operating instructions).
11 Any electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician and conform to local and national safety requirements.
12 An isolator and a suitable motor rated circuit breaker rated for the size of motor must be installed to protect the motor. The pump must not restart
automatically when electrical supply is restored. (Details of full load current can be found on the motor plate).
13 You must ensure that suitable emergency stop controls are used.

14 Check the direction of rotation before use as a failure to run the pump in the correct direction can cause internal damage to the pump, invalidating the
warranty.
15 If the pump is connected to an exhaust line, the maximum pressure at the pump outlet must not exceed 200mbar G.
16 The maximum inlet pressure must not exceed 1.5 bar A permissible for continuous running of the pump.
17 A PT100 is fitted on pumps EV70 and above, up to and including EV630. (Alarm set at 110°C, Trip set at 130°C).
18 Any maintenance must be carried out by a suitably qualified technician.
19 Apply suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape where applicable.
20 Ensure that the pump is installed in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT EXPOSE ANY PART OF THE HUMAN BODY TO VACUUM.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS MAY INVALIDATE ANY WARRANTY CLAIM.
Order spares from your nearest Edwards company or distributor.
WARNING: DON’T THROTTLE OR BLOCK AIR DISCHARGE OR USE AS A COMPRESSED AIR OUTLET.

Gas Ballast
The EV pumps are fitted with gas ballast valves. These are not depicted on the pump
diagrams in this manual. The gas-ballast valve allows you to control the introduction of gasballast air when pumping high vapour loads. Gas-ballast is used to reduce condensation of
the vapour carried by the pumped gases. This system reduces oil contamination and pump
corrosion caused by vapour condensing into the oil.
Safety
You must ensure that the pump is suitable for your application. A suitably trained
technician must perform the installation of the pump. The technician must be
familiar with the safety procedures that relate to the pump oil and products
processed by the pumping system. Obey the safety instructions and take note of appropriate
precautions.
Wear the appropriate safety clothing when you come into contact with contaminated
components.
The pumps can be used to generate a vacuum and will generate high pump temperatures,
especially at the oil container:
- Install pumps/compressors in a position where hot surfaces cannot be touched
- Or protect the area around them
- Or install warning signs.
To prevent the pump heating up to values exceeding specifications it is absolutely necessary
to execute each individual step of the maintenance procedures.
Application
These pumps can be used to create a vacuum.
The specification is valid up to a height of 800 m above sea level.
The pumps cannot be used for pumping of toxic or flammable materials.
Ensure that only non hazardous atmospheric air is taken in.
Transport and storage
Store pump in a dry area. Prevent condensation caused by vapour.
Lift and transport the pump using suitable lifting equipment and techniques. Use the lifting
eyes provided on the pump.
Installation
It is recommended to install the pumps with easy access for maintenance.
Clearance between pumps and adjacent walls should be no less than 10 cm of free space in
order to ensure sufficient airflow for cooling.
Ambient temperatures must not exceed 45°C.
Please refer to the addendum sheet, which details further installation instructions.
Connection and installation
Ensure correct dimensions and clean pipelines (no weld spatter, chips or similar contamination).
The diameter of the pipelines should at least equal that of the threads. For pipeline lengths of
more than 2 m use the next larger line diameter. Keep connections free from oil, grease and
water or other contaminations.
Fill the pump with oil
Use vacuum pump oil Ultragrade 20.
Screw-off oil inlet cover and fill-in oil up to the maximum of the inspection glass MA.
Remove protective caps at LA and SA. Don’t connect to the pipelines yet.

Motor connection
Ensure that the electrical installation of the pump conforms to your local and national safety
requirements as required by EN 60402 Pt1.
Connect motor based on connecting diagram (in terminal box). An experienced electrician
should carry out this work only. Check for connecting voltage, nominal current and frequency.
Install motor circuit breaker and set to nominal motor current. (For data see motor rating plate).
Briefly start motor and check rotation (arrow on casing). Exchange phases if rotation
is incorrect.
Avoid switching on more than 10 times per hour.
The pump must not automatically restart when power is restored.
Commissioning
Connect intake line at SA.
WARNING: DON’T THROTTLE OR BLOCK AIR DIS CHARGE LA OR USE AS A
COMPRESSED AIR OUTLET.
Ensure the exhaust pipeline diameter is equal to or greater than the air discharge LA.

Maintenance
Maintain pump regularly to achieve the best operating results. Maintenance intervals will
depend on the pumps use and ambient conditions.
Refer to the maintenance label on the pump, a typical example can be seen below.
Before commencing maintenance switch off electricity to reliably avoid
unintentional restarting. Dirty inlet filter or blocked air degrease elements will
reduce air intake capacity.
Fan cover, fan grill, cooling ribs and surfaces of the compressor have to be
cleaned to avoid overheating. Wear appropriate safety clothing.
Oil / Oil separation
Check oil level daily while the pump is switched off. The oil level must not sink below
inspection glass middle MI.
Replace the oil:
- after first 100 hrs of operation.
- at least once every 6 months or 2000 hrs of operation whichever is greatest.
- or if too much water is taken in.
The old oil is to be drained at drainage screw OA while pump is switched off but
still at operating temperature.
Check air degrease element FA when exchanging oil and replace if blocked. Insert with seam
pointing downwards.
The filter cartridges are inserted behind the enclosure cover GD and are to be
cleaned depending on the dust level. Loosen cover DE.
(EV160/300/400/630 Only) Check coarse material separator and wash out if contaminated:
Loosen oil container cover OD and oil pipeline OL.

Install inlet filter in such a way that t he filter cartridge is horizontal, thus no dirt will get into the
pump during maintenance work.
Clean filter cartridges according to the amount of dust in the environment. Wearing
the appropriate safety clothing, use pressurized air to blow through the filter from
inside out. Washout filter on the inside or use vacuum. Make certain t hat blocked, oily or greasy
cartridges are exchanged against new ones.
Set vacuum control valve to operational value.
Oil level switch: Check function during oil exchange;
Gas ballast valve: Exchange contaminated valve.
