4.2 Description
The C-VLR 1000 model has a connection fl ange on the inlet side and an exhaust silencer on the pressure
side (Fig. 2/B
). The air sucked in is cleaned by a micro-fi lter (Fig. 2/S).
1
The ZEPHYR VLR 1000 is a double shaft rotary piston vacuum pump in which the claws roll off against each
other contact free and dry. The counter-rotating claw rotors are synchronised by a gear pair in the gearbox.
The synchronous gearbox gear wheels and the bearings are lubricated with oil. These components are in
a gearbox that also contains the oil supply. Oil conveying devices always ensure that the bearings and the
gear wheels are suffi ciently supplied with oil at all permissible speeds.
The gearbox and the compression chamber are separated from each other by special seals. The gearbox
is sealed from the outside with shaft seals and O rings, the compressor chamber with piston rings.The
VLR 1000 is enclosed in an insulating hood. In order to dissipate compression heat, the cooling air is sucked
through between the machine and the hood using a drum fan that sucks in the fresh cooling air (Fig. 2/E)
and discharges the heated air out of the cooling air outlet (Fig. 2/F).
The VLR 1000 is driven by standard fl anged three-phase motors via a coupling.
A vacuum relief valve is incorporated into the machine.
4.3 Areas of application
This contact free running claw vacuum pump, the C-VLR 1000, can be operated constantly at any pressure
between atmospheric and an inlet pressure of 200 mbars (abs.).
The pumping capacity with unrestricted suction is 950 m
3
/h at 50 Hz. Data sheet D 880/80 shows the de-
pendency of the pumping capacity on the intake pressure.
If the unit is switched on more frequently (at regular intervals of about 10 times an hour) or at higher
ambient temperatures and intake temperatures, the
excess temperature limit of the motor winding and
the bearings may be exceeded.Please contact the
manufacturer should the unit be used under such
conditions.
If it is installed in the open air the unit must be protected from environmental infl uences, (e.g. by a protective roof).

Installation
5 Installation
5.1 Preparing for installation
Check the following points:
• Machine freely accessible from all sides
• Do not close ventilation grids and holes
• Suffi cient room for installing and removing pipes
and for maintenance work, particularly for installing and dismantling the machine
• No external vibration effects
• Do not suck any hot exhaust air from other machines into the cooling system.
The oil fi lling point (Fig. 2/H), oil sight glass (Fig. 2/I) and the oil outlets (Fig. 2/K) must be easily
accessible. The cooling air inlets (Fig. 2/E) and the cooling air outlets (Fig. 2/F) must be at least
30 cm away from adjacent walls. Cooling air coming out must not be sucked in again. For maintenance work there must be a minimum of 40 cm in front of the mesh fi lter (Fig. 2/S).
5.2 Installation
Ensure that the foundation complies with the
following conditions:
NOTICE
The machine may only be operated when it is
set up horizontally.
Material damage resulting from the machine
tipping over and falling.
When installed at more than 1000 m above sea
level a reduction in power is noticeable. In this
case we would ask you to contact us.
Contamination in the intake air
To protect the machine the operator should install
appropriate fi lters on the suction side.
The C-VLR 1000 must not be operated without
covering plates.
• Level and straight
• The bearing surface must be designed to be
able to take the weight of the machine.
It is possible to install the machine on a fi rm base without anchoring. When installing on a substructure we recommend fi xing with fl exible buffers.

Installation
5.3 Connecting pipes
a) Remove the adhesive sheets from the vacuum
connection (Fig. 2/A) and insert the mesh fi lter
(Fig. 2/S) with the curved side up.
b) Connect the vacuum line.
NOTICE
Material damage resulting from the forces and
torques of the pipes on the unit being too high.
Only screw pipes in by hand.
The pumping capacity of the vacuum pump
is reduced if the suction pipe is too narrow
and/or too long.
c) The extracted air can be discharged through the
exhaust silencer (Fig. 2/B) or conducted away
via the fl ange and a pipe.
NOTICE
Length of the connection pipes
With connection pipes that have the same pipe
cross section as the machine connection and are
more than 3m long, a non-return valve especially
for the purpose must be installed in order to avoid
reverse operation when the machine has stopped.

Installation
5.4 Filling with lubricating oil
a) Fill the lubricating oil (for suitable types see
“Maintenance”) for the gear wheels and oil fi lling point (Fig. 2/H) up to the middle of the sight
glasses (Fig. 2/I).
b) Close the oil fi lling point.
5.5 Connecting the motor
DANGER
Danger of death if the electrical installation has
not been done professionally.
The electrical installation must only be done by a
qualifi ed electrician observing EN 60204. The
operating company has to provide the main
switch.
a) The motor‘s electrical data is given on the data
plate (Fig. 2/N) or on the motor data plate (Fig. 2/
). The motors comply with DIN EN 60034
P
1
and are in protection class IP 55 and insulation
class F. The appropriate connection diagram is
located in the motor‘s terminal box (not for the
plug connection version). The motor data must
be compared with the data of the existing mains
network (current type, voltage, network frequency, permitted current value).
b) Connect the motor via the plug connection or
the motor protection switch (for safety reasons,
a motor protection switch is required and the
connecting cable must be installed via a cable
fi tting to provide strain relief).
We recommend using motor protection switches
with delayed switch off, depending on possible
excess current. Temporary excess current may
occur when the machine is started cold.
NOTICE
Power supply
The conditions at the installation location must match
the information on the motor data plate.
Without derating the following is permissible:
