Introduction

1.2 ATEX directive implications

 This equipment is designed to meet the requirements of Group II Category 3 equipment in accordance with

Directive 94/9/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23
the laws of the Member States concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres. (The ATEX Directive)

The ATEX Category 3 applies in respect o f potential ignition sources internal to the equipment. An ATEX
Category has not been assigned in respect of potential ignition sources on the outside of the equipment as
the equipment has not been designed for use where there is an external potentially explosive atmosphere.

There is no potential source of ignition within the pump during normal operation but there may be pote nt ial
sources of ignition under conditions of predicted and rare malfunction as defined in the Directive.
Accordingly, although the pump is designed to pump flammable materials and mixtures, operating
procedures should ensure that under all normal and reasonably predicted conditions, these materials and
mixtures are not within explosive limits. Category 3 is considered appropriate for the avoidance of ignition in
the case of a rare malfunction which allows flammab le materials or mixtures to pass through the pump while
within their explosive limits.

 When flammable materials are present within the equipment you must:

 Not allow air to enter the equipment.
 Ensure the system is leak tight.

For further information, please refer to the back page of this instruction manual for the contact details of your
nearest Edwards.

Introduction

1.3 Description

The XDS pump is shown in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1 for item numbers in brackets in the following descriptions.
The XDS pump is a compact, reliable vacuum pump which is suitable for use on vapour handling processes. The XDS

pump may be used for some pumping applications involving corrosive substances and particulates; for information on
pumping flammable gases, please refer to Section 4.5 and contact Edwards for any further assistance.

The body of the pump includes a fixed sc roll and an orbiting scroll. The orbiting scroll is driven by the electric motor
through an eccentric cam on the motor drive shaft. The movement of the orbiting scroll, meshed with the fixed scroll,
forms successive crescent shaped volumes in the pump. Ga s which enters the pump through the inlet is compressed
by the movement of the orbiting scroll and swept towards the centre of the fixed scroll. The compressed gas enters
the exhaust port near the centre of the stationary scroll and is exhausted from the pump through the outlet.

The XDS pump is a dry vacuum pump, as all the bearings, with their hydrocarbon lubricant, are isolated from the
vacuum space.

The inlet of the pump is fitted with a removable inlet strainer which prevents the entry of debris into the pump.
The pump mechanism is driven directly by a single- phase or three-phase electric motor. Single-phase motors are

fitted with an on/off switch (7) and a thermal overload device. When the motor is too hot, the thermal overload
device switches off the pump. The thermal overload device has an automatic reset; when the motor cools down, the
device resets and (unless you have incorporated suitable control equipment which must be manually reset), the
motor will restart.

The pump is air-cooled by a fan mounted at the opposite end to the motor.
The pump is mounted on a baseplate on rubber feet. Details of suitable vibration isolators and other accessories are

provided in Section 7.

1.4 Gas-ballast control

To pump high vapour loads, gas-ballast is delivered into the pump to prevent condensation of the vapour carried by
the pumped gases.

Air can be introduced to the low vacuum stages through the gas-ballast valve (not fitted on 05 variant). Alternatively,
an inert gas such as nitrogen can be supplied through a suitable external valve.

The gas-ballast control has three positions:

 Closed (position ‘0’)
 Low flow (position ‘I’)
 High flow (position ‘II’)

1.5 Construction

The pump scrolls are made from anodised aluminium and the motor housing made from aluminium only. All surfaces
of the pump which are exposed to the pumped gases are free from copper, zinc and cadmium.

* The XDS pumps can survive an excursion to 1 bar gauge in the exhaust line. However, under normal

operating conditions (with the pump running) the exhaust line pressure should be as close as possible to
atmospheric pressure. If the pump is operated with a raised exhaust line pressure this will accelerate tip
seal wear and lead to a loss of pumping performance.

WARNING

3 Installation

3.1 Safety

The Edwards XDS dry pump is not recommended for pumping hazardous substances.

You must ensure that the XDS pump is suitable for your application. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the
XDS 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 li st at the front of this manual).

The installation of the XDS pump must be performed by a suitably trained and supervised technician. Obey the safety
instructions listed below when you install the XDS pump, especially when you connect the pump in to an existing
system. Details of the specific safety precautions are given at the appropriate point in the instructions.

 Wear the appropriate safety clothing when you come into contact with contaminated components. Dismantle

and clean contaminated components inside a fume cupboard.

 Vent and purge your vacuum system before you start installation work.

Installation

 Ensure that the installation technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the products

handled by the pumping system.

 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

pumping condensable vapours or if you need to maintain vacuum when the pump is switched off.
Avoid high levels of heat input into the pump from the process gases, otherwise the pump may overheat and seize,

and cause the motor thermal overload device to open.
If you use the pump in a high ambient temperature and have a high gas throughput, the temperature of the pump

body may exceed 100 °C and 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.

3.3 Unpack and inspect

Remove all packing materials, remove the pump from its packing box, remove the protective covers from the inlet
and outlet ports and inspect the pum p. If the pump is damaged, notify your supp lier and the carrier in wri ting; state
the item number of the pump together with your order number and your supplier’s invoice number. Retain all the

3.4 Lifting the pump

Although the pump is less than 25 kg and can be lifted manually, it is recommended that suitable lifting equipment
is used whenever possible. The lifting equipment should be attached to the uppermost tri-bar on the pump. It should
be noted that the pump may alter its position during lifting and suitable precautions should be taken.

3.5 Locate the pump

Provide a firm, level platform for the pump. Locate the pump so that the gas-ballast control (if fitted) and the on/
off switch 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.

In addition, ensure that the location of the pump and the intended routing of connecting parts i.e. process line,
exhaust line and power cables will not present any physical hazards, for example; trip hazards to personnel.

3.6 Electrical installation: single-phase pumps

3.6.1 Check and configure the motor

Ensure that the motor is correctly configured for your electrical supply. If you operate the pump when the motor
is not correctly configured for the electrical supply, you will damage the motor.

WARNING

Ensure that the voltage shown on the voltage indicator (5 ) on the motor cover corresponds with your electrical supply
voltage. If it does not, you must change the configuration of the pump motor to match your supply voltage; use the
procedure below.

1. Undo the two screws (4) and lift off the voltage indicator moulding (2).

2. Rotate the voltage indicator moulding (2) so that the correct voltage is next to the arrow (5) on the terminal box

cover.

3. Replace the two screws (4).

3.6.2 Connect the pump to your electrical supply

Ensure that the electrical installation of the XDS pump conforms with your local and national safety
requirements. It must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply and a
suitable earth point.

Make the electrical connections to the pump motor with an IEC 320 cable socket (cold condition type) that satisfies
your local electrical standards. A range of suitable cables are available from your supplier or Edwards.

The pump must be connected to a suitable fused and protected electrical supply and a sui table earth point.

Installation

If your XDS pump was supplied with an electrical supply cable, the cable will be fitted with a moulded IEC connector
at one end. The other end of the cable may be fitted with a plug suitable for your local electrical supply. A cable
without a plug will contain wires colour coded as follows:

1. Ensure that the on/off switch on the motor is in the ‘off’ position.

2. Insert the moulded IEC connector at the end of the cable into the electrical inlet connector on the motor.

3.7 Electrical installation: three-phase pumps

3.7.1 Check and configure the motor

Ensure that the motor is configured correctly for your electrical supply. If you operate the pump when the motor
is not configured correctly for the electrical supply, you will damage the motor.

Power cable rated at 70 °C must be used to connect the 3 phase pump to the power supply. Failure to do so may
result in cable damage if the pump is used in high ambient temperatures.

1. Place the pump on its back, exposing the underside of the pump (refer to Figure 5). Undo the 3 screws securing

the access plate and remove it.

2. Ensure that the motor is correctly configured for your electrical supply. If necessary reconfigure the links (refer

to Figures 6 and 7) to suit your electrical supply.

 For 200 - 230 V electrical supplies the links must be configured as shown in Figure 6.

Installation

 For 380 - 460 V electrical supplies the links must be configured as shown in Figure 7.

3.7.2 Connect the pump to your electrical supply

Ensure that the electrical installation of the XDS pump conforms with your local and national safety
requirements. It must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply and a
suitable earth point.

If the pump is to be used on the floor of a work area, position the power lead and the exhaust and
inlet hoses with care. Ensure that personnel in the area are aware of any obstructions around the
pump.

The electrical supply cable to the 3-phase pump is permanently attached to the pump. Ensure that
it is routed such that it cannot be snagged or become a tripping hazard.

Notes: 1. To prevent automatic restart of the pump-motor if the electrical supply is restored after an electrical

supply failure, connect the pump to the electrical supply through suitable control equipment which
must be reset manually after an electrical supply failure.

2. To maintain compliance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standards, you must incorporate a
switch or circuit breaker in the pump electrical supply. The switch or circuit breaker must be close to
the pump and easily accessible, and must be clearly marked to identify that it is the electrical supply
disconnection device for the pump.

We recommend that you connect the electrical supply to the motor through a starter or circuit breaker which has
thermal over-current protection which can be adjusted to suit the current ratings shown in Table 6. The fuse ratings
in Table 6 are provided for guidance only. The supplier of your thermal over-current protection device may specify
different values to ensure correct operation of the fuse and the over-current protection device.

WARNING

Installation

Note: The following instructions refer to connecting a cable to the terminal bl ock within the term inal box. If the

unit is already fitted with a cable, please ignore these instructions but retain them in the event the cable
ever needs replacement. It is still necessary to check the direction of rotation.

The diameter of the electrical supply cable should be in the range 7 to 11 mm. The cable must conform in size and
colour coding with your local and national electrical installation regulations.

1. Pass the electrical supply cabl e through the cable-gland and out of the access hole.

2. Use insulated crimped connectors to connect the wires in the cable to the terminals U1, V1, W1 and earth in the
terminal-box as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Ensure connections are made using plain washer, spring washer and
nut, in that order.

3. Refit the access plate.

4. Tighten the strain-relief nut on the cable-gland.

3.7.3 Check the direction of rotation

Ensure that the pump motor rotates in the correct direction. If it does not, the pump and your vacuum system
can become pressurised.

1. Unscrew the 3 retaining screws and remove the plastic cover in the centre of the motor back plate.

2. Switch on the electrical supply to the motor for a few seconds.

3. Check that the screw on the back of the motor rotates in the correct direction, shown by the arrow on the
motor.

4. If the direction of rotation is incorrect, switch off the electrical supply and isolate the pump from the electrical
supply. Disassemble the plug and switch the positions of the bl ack wires.

3.8 Inlet and outlet connections

Connect the exhaust to a suitable treatment plant to prevent the discharge of dangerous gases and
vapours to the surrounding atmosphere.

Before you connect the pump to your vacuum system, fit the centring ring and inlet strainer (supplied with the pump)
to the pump inlet port. Ensure that debris does not get into your pump when you install it.

Take note of the following information when you connect the pump to your vacuum system. Refer to Section 7 for
details of the accessories mentioned below. Use standard DN25NW fittings (not sup plied) when you connect the
pump.

For maximum pumping speeds, ensure that the pipeline connected to the pump inlet is as short as possible and has
an internal diameter of 25 mm or larger.

 Support the vacuum pipeline to prevent loading of the coupling joints.
 If necessary, incorporate flexible pipeline in your system to reduce the transmission of vibration and to

prevent loading of the coupling joints. If you use flexible bellows, you must ensure that you use bellows
which have a maximum pressure rating which is greater than the highest pressure that can be generated in
your system.

A726-01-880 Issue M

CAUTION

 In some applications e.g. when backing a turbomolecular pump, we recommend that you incorporate an inlet

isolation valve in the pipeline from the vacuum system to the pump, so that you can isolate the vacuum
system from the pump when it is switched off.

 Ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean and scratch-free.

We recommend that you use an exhaust extraction system suitable for use with all of the process gases yo u will pump.
Ensure that the exhaust extraction system cannot become blocked or obstructed when the pump is operating. Use a
catchpot on the exhaust to prevent the drainage of contaminated condensation back into the pump.

A small amount of tip seal wear product may collect in the exhaust duct of the pump. The dust may be blown out
with the initial burst of air after the pump has been vented. This is quite common and the amount of dust seen will
reduce over time.

At high temperature (in excess of 250 °C) tip seal wear product will begin to decompose, giving rise to gaseous
fumes that can produce unpleasant symptoms.

3.9 Leak test the system

Leak test the system and seal any leaks found after you have installed the XDS pump, to prevent leakage of any
substances out of the system and leakag e of air into the system.

WARNING

4 Operation

4.1 Gas-ballast control (if fitted)

You can use the gas-ballast control to optimise the performance of the dry pump for your application. The
performance characteristics of the pump with the different ballast settings are shown in Table 2. You can change the
position of the gas-ballast control when the pump is off or when the pump is operating.

Use the gas-ballast control to change the amount of air introduced into the low vacuum stages of the pump. Use of
gas-ballast will prevent the condensation of vapours in the pump; the condensates would contaminate the pump. You
can turn the gas-ballast control to select one of the three positions, as follows:

To close the gas-ballast, turn the control to position ‘0’. Use this setting:

 to achieve ultimate vacuum
 to pump dry gases.

To select low flow gas-ballast, turn the control to position ‘I’. Use this setting:

 to pump condensable vapours
 to dilute process gases if required.

Operation

To select high flow gas-ballast, turn the control to position ‘II’. Use this setting:

 to pump high concentrations of condensable vapours
 to dilute process gases if required
 to clear excess vapours after processing.

4.2 Start up procedure

Ensure that your system design does not allow the exhaust pipeline to become blocked.

A fine dust may be emitted from the exhaust of the scroll pump during start up, particularly when the pump is
new or if new tip seals are fitted. Refer to Section 5.6 for further information when fitting new tip seals.

Use the procedure below to start up the pump:

1. Ensure that any vacuum system isolation valve is closed.

2. Switch on the electrical supply to the pump, using the on/off switch on the motor.

3. Open any vacuum system isolation valve.

WARNING

Operation

4.3 To achieve ultimate vacuum (if gas ballast fitted)

4.3.1 Pumps already in service

If the pumps have been switched off for some time it may be necessary to run for at least an hour on high flow gas­ballast ‘II’ to purge the pump of condensable vapours (e.g. atmospheric water vapour).

Turn the gas ballast control to position ‘0’ to achieve the best possible vacuum.

4.3.2 New pumps, pumps that have just been serviced or reconditioned, and pumps

that have been in storage

If the pump is new or has been in long term storage it may be necessary to run the pump on gas ballast to remove
atmospheric water vapour. This may take up to 24 hours depending on the storage conditions. Having run on gas
ballast, revert to gas ballast 0 condition (see Section 4.1) to achieve ultimate performance.

4.4 To pump condensable vapours (if gas ballast fitted)

Use gas-ballast (ballast knob set to I or II) when there is a significant proportion of condensable vapours in the p rocess
gases. The pump should be up to full operating temperature prior to exposure to condensable vapours.

4.5 Implication of ATEX directive

4.5.1 Introduction

This equipment is designed to meet the requirements of Group II Category 3 equipment in accordance with Directive
94/9/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23

Member States concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially exp losive atmospheres.
(The ATEX Directive)

The ATEX Category 3 applies in respect of potential ignition sources internal to the equipment. An ATEX Category has
not been assigned in respect of potential ignition sources on the outside of the equipment as the equipment has not
been designed for use where there is an external potentially explosive atmosphere.

There is no potential source of ignition within the pump during normal operation but there may be potential sources
of ignition under conditions of predicted and rare malfunction as defined in the Directive. Accordingly, although the
pump is designed to pump flammable materials and mixtures, operating procedures should ensure that under all
normal and reasonably predicted conditions, these materials and mixtures are not within explosive limits. Category
3 is considered appropriate for the avoidance of ignition in the case of a rare malfunction which allows flammable
materials or mixtures to pass through the pump while within their explosive limits.

4.5.2 Flammable/pyrophoric materials

The following precautions and actions must be obeyed to ensure gas being pumped stays out of the
flammable range.

rd

March 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the

When flammable or pyrophoric materials are present within the equipment you must:

 Not allow air to enter the equipment
 Ensure the system is leak tight.

WARNING

WARNING

 Dilute any flammable gases or vapours by using an in ert purge (e .g. N2 ) to th e pu mp in let and /or gas ballast

(if fitted) to reduce the concentration of flammable gasses or vapours in the pump and exhaust line to less
than one quarter of their published lower explosive limits (LEL).

 Prevent the condensation of flammable vapours within the pump mechanism and exhaust line by using an

inert gas purge to the pump gas ballast connection. Note that this option is not available on the -05- no gas
ballast versions. In these pumps only inlet purge can be used.

4.5.3 Gas purges

If you use inert gas purge to dilute dangerous gases to a safe level, ensure that the XDS pump is
shut down if an inert gas supply fails.

You must obey the instructions and take note of the precautions given below, to ensure that
pumped gases do not enter their flammable ranges.

Switch on the inert gas purge to remove air from the pump and the exhaust pipeline before the process starts. Switch
off the purge flow at the end of the process only after remaining flammable gases or vapours have been purged from
the pump and exhaust pipeline.

Operation

If liquids that produce flammable vapours could be present in the pump foreline then the inert gas purge to the XDS
pump should be left on all the time this liquid is present. Flammable liquids could be present in the foreline as a
result of condensation or may be carried over from the process.

When calculating the flow rate of inert gas required for dilution, consider the maximum flow rate for the flammable
gases/vapours that could occur. For example, if a mass flow controller is being used to supply flammable gases to
the process, you should assume a flow rate for flammable gases that could arise if the mass flow controller is fully
open.

Continually measure the inert gas purge flow rate: if the fl ow ra te falls below the required, you must stop the flow
of flammable gases or vapours into the pump.

Note: We recommend you obtain and read Vacuum Pump and Vacuum System Safety (publication number

P300-20-000), available from Edwards or your supplier.

4.6 Shut down

Use the procedure below to shut down the pump:

1. If shutting the pump down prior to a period of storage, remove any process gases by running on high flow gas­ballast (if fitted) or by inlet purge.

2. Close the vacuum system isolation valve to prevent suckback into the vacuum system (where fitted).

3. Switch off the pump using the on/off switch on the motor.
