Introduction
z If the equipment is brought from cold environment into a room for operation, allow the equipment to warm
up (pay attention to water condensation on cold surfaces).
z Make sure ventilation is adequate if pump is installed in a housing or if ambient temperature is elevated.
Obey all relevant safety requirements (regulations and guidelines) and adopt suitable safety measures.
z Provide a firm level platform for the equipment and check that the system to be evacuated is mechanically
stable and that all fittings are secure.
Note: Flexible elements tend to shrink when evacuated.
Due to the high compression ratio of the pumps, pressure at the outlet port might be generated being higher than the max. permitted pressure compatible with the mechanical stability of the system.
Obey maximum permitted pressures and pressure differences, see Section 2 Technical data. Do not operate the pump with overpressure at the inlet.
Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing (e. g. make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked). If you have an exhaust-isolation valve, make sure that you cannot operate the equipment with the valve closed. Risk of bursting
!
Ensure that the system design does not allow the exhaust pipeline to become blocked:
z Avoid overpressure of more tha n 0.2 bar in case inert gas is connected. z The diameter of the inlet and outlet pipeline should be at the least as large as the diameter of the pump
connection pipelines.
z Adopt suitable measures in case of differences, e. g. using the equipment outdoors, installation in altitudes
of more than 1000 m above mean sea level, conductive pollution or moisture.
Pay attention to symbol “hot surfaces” on the equipment. Adopt suitable measures to prevent any danger arising from the formation of hot surfaces or electric sparks.
The pumps are not suitable to pump dangerous or explosive gases or explosive or flammable mixtures. Ensure that the materials of the wetted parts are compatible with the pumped substances, see Section 2 Technical data. Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, explosive, corrosive or polluting fluids. Use inert gas for gas ballast or venting if necessary. The user must take suitable precautions to prevent any formation of explosive mixtures in the expansion chamber. In case of a diaphragm crack, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity may ignite these mixtures. Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous substances (chemicals, thermal decomposition products of fluoroelastomers), wear appropriate safety clothing and safety glasses. Obey applicable regulations when disposing of chemicals. Take into consideration that chemicals may be polluted.

Installation

3.4 Notes regarding the motor speed

Operating the pump at high motor speeds increases the pump throughput, this will also cause the pump to generate more heat. Ensure there is adequate ventilation especially when using the pump within confined spaces or enclosures.
Operating the pump at low motor speeds increases the ultimate vacuum performance, this will also increase the lifetime of the diaphragm and valves.

4Use and operation

4.1 Installing in a vacuum system

The pump can be mounted in any orientation. Avoid throttling losses by using connecting pipes with large diameter and keep them as short as possible. Reduce the transmission of vibration and prevent loading due to rigid pipelines. Insert elastic hoses or flexible
elements as couplings between the pump and rigid pipes.
Note: Flexible elements tend to shrink when evacuated.
Use a suitable valve to isolate the pump from the vacuum system to allow the pump to warm up before condensable vapours are pumped or to clean the pump before it is switched off.
Connect the exhaust to a suitable treatment plant to prevent the discharge of dangerous gases and vapours to the surrounding atmosphere. Use a catchpot to prevent the drainage of contaminated condensate back into the pump.

4.2 Prior to use

Use and operation
Note: Max. ambient temperature: 40 °C.
Make sure ventilation is adequate if pump is installe d in a housing or if ambient temperature is elevated. Keep a distance of min. 20 cm between fans and ambient parts.
When assembling, ensure vacuum-tightness. After assembly, check the complete system for leaks.

4.3 During operation

Do not start or operate the pump if pressure at the outlet is higher than 1.1 bar absolute. Attempts to start or operate the pump at higher pressure may cause blockade and damage of the motor.
The pump achieves its pumping speed, ultimate total vacuum and vapour pumping rate only at operating temperature (after approx. 15 minutes).
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves will be damaged, if liquids are pumped in significant amounts.

4.3.1 Pumps with dual-voltage motor

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. Identify cause of failure and eliminate.
Note: Pump starts again after power failure.

4.3.2 Pumps with 24 V dc voltage

The motor is protected by a temperature sensor at the circuit board (current limitation if the tempera t ure at t he circuit board is higher than 70°C).

5Maintenance

Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitably trained and supervised technicians. Ensure that the maintenance technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the product processed by the vacuu m s ystem and that the equipment, if necessary, is appropriately decontaminated before starting maintenance. Obey local and national safety regulations.
Before starting maintenance vent the system, isolate the pump and other components from the vacuum system and the electrical supply, drain condensate and allow sufficient cooling of the pump. Before starting maintenance, wait two minutes after isolating the equipment from mains to allow the capacitors to discharge.
In order to comply with law (occupational, health and safety regulations, safety at work law and regulations for environmental protection) vacuum pumps, components and measuring instruments returned to the manufacturer can be repaired only when certain procedures (see section Return of Edwards Equipment - Procedure
(Forms HS 1 and HS 2) are followed.

5.1 Replacing diaphragms and valves

Maintenance
Please read section Replacing diaphragms and valves completely before starting maintenance.
Note: The images of the pumps may differ slightly, this does not influence replacing the diaphragm and valves.
All bearings are encapsulated and are filled with long-life lubricant, under normal operating conditions these parts are maintenance free.
The valves and the diaphragms are wear parts. If the rated ultimate vacuum is no longer achieved, the pump interior, the diaphragms and the valves must be cleaned and the diaphragms and valves must be checked for cracks or other damage.
Depending on individual cases it may be efficient to check and clean the pump heads on a regular basis. In case of normal wear the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is > 10000 operating hours.
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves will be damaged, if liquids are pumped in significant amount.
If the pump is exposed to corrosive gases or vapour or in case of deposits, maintenance should be carried out frequently.
Note: Regular maintenance will improve the lifetime of the pump and also protect both man and environment.
Before starting maintenance vent the system, isolate the pump and other components from the vacuum system and the electrical supply.
Drain condensate if applicable, avoid the release of pollutants. Allow sufficient cooling of the pump.

5.1.5 If the pump does not achieve the ultimate pressure

In case the diaphragms and valves have been re placed, a run-in per iod of several hours is required before the pump achieves its ultimate vacuum.
If pump does not achieve the ultimate total pressure:
z Check hose connectors between pump heads and manifolds for leaks. z If necessary recheck pump chamber.
