4.2 Description
The V-KTN range has a connecting thread on the pressure side and on the suction side. The aspirated air
is cleaned by an inbuilt fi ne micro fi lter. The carbon dust caused by the scoring of the blades can also be
separated by an integral fi lter.
The motor and the pump have a common shaft.
The V-KTN (01 ➝ 06) and (08 ➝ 10) are in a plastic sound cover. Inside the sound cover is also a fan that
provides cooling. The vacuum regulating valve (Fig. 2/C) and the pressure regulating valve (Fig. 2/D) enable
the vacuum and pressure to be set to the required values which have an upper limit.
The compressed air is cooled by a cooling segment in versions (03), (06), (09) and (10).
The V-KTN (13) is located in a tin cover. It is cooled by the motor fan. The V-KTN (13) has a vacuum safety
valve on the suction side (Fig. 3/C
) and a pressure relief valve on the pressure side (Fig. 3/D1).
1
4.3. Areas of application
These dry running rotary vane pressure vacuum pumps models V-KTN 15 to V-KTN 40 are suitable for creating pressure and vacuum at the same time. Constant operation is permissible.
The nominal fl ow rate is 15, 25 and 40 m
3
/h at 50 Hz. The load limits (bars) on the intake and pressure sides
are specifi ed on the data plate (Fig. 2/N). Data sheet D 480 shows the dependency of the fl ow rate on the
excess pressures.
These dry running machines are suitable for conveying air with a relative humidity of 30 - 90%.
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).

5.5 Connecting the motor
Installation
GEFAHR
Danger of death if the electrical installation has
not been done professionally.
The electrical installation may only be done by a specialist electrician observing EN 60204. The operating
company has to provide the main switch.
a) The electrical motor data can be found on the
data plate (Fig. 2/N) or the motor data plate. The
motors comply with DIN EN 60034 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 plug-connector (Fig. 2/J)
if fi tted or via 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 can
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:
• ± 5% voltage deviation
• ± 2% Frequency deviation
