Operating Instructions 300758785_001_C1.
1 Avoid exposing any part of the human body to the vacuum.
2 Select a secure place for the appliance (level surface).
3 The discharge port of the pump must not be blocked or constricted.
Never operate the pump with a seal-off stopper in place blanking off
the exhaust port. Operate the pump only with a connected vacuum
system to the intake flange.
4 With a closed exhaust pipe, the pump can generate up to 5 bar pres-
sure (absolute) on the exhaust. The exhaust pipes should be laid out
according.
5 Condensates from the pump can collect inside or at the exhaust,
escape and spill onto the floor, when operating the pump without an
exhaust line or during transport with an exhaust being not blanked off.
In this case there exists the risk of slipping.

CAUTION
DANGER
6 Due to its weight the pump must only be lifted by duly trained and
qualified persons.
0.2 Electrical hazards
1 Housing parts must not be opened.
2 Connect the appliance only to a properly and professionally installed
mains outlet socket with protective earth connection.
3 Note the information on the IP type of protection.
0.3 Thermal Hazards
1 At the crane eye, the intake flange and the exhaust flange, the pump
may attain temperatures over 80 °C. There is the risk of suffering
burns. Note the danger symbols on the pump itself.
0.4 Hazards Caused by Materials and Substances
1 Fluoropolymers are used as sealants (FKM) and as lubricants (PFPE) in
the pumps. In case the pump suffers a severe mechanical failure, it
cannot be ruled out that toxic and/or corrosive substances may be
released due to thermal decomposition. Do not open the pump module, and close off the inlet and exhaust flanges using blank flanges.
2 Before commissioning the pump, make sure that the media which are
to be pumped are compatible with each other so as to avoid hazardous situations. Observe the instructions for proper and improper use of
the pump in Section 3.2.
3 When pumping hazardous gases we recommend a leak search on a
regular basis. Leaks in the pump cannot be ruled out under all circumstances. When pumping hazardous gases, the operator must ensure
that that leaks at the pump will not be a hazard. When pumping toxic
gases replace the gas ballast switch with a plug screw or connect a
gas supply to the gas ballast.
4 If required additional monitoring of the gas ballast quantities is neces-
sary from the side of the operator when a well-defined and ensured
dilution is necessary from the side of the process. The type of protection depends on the specific process and needs to be assessed by of
the customer.
5 When the pump has been used to pump hazardous gases, introduce
appropriate safety precautions before opening the intake or the discharge connections. Before opening the pump, purge it for a longer
period of time with an inert gas. If necessary, wear suitable personal
protection equipment like gloves, breathing protection and protection
clothing, for example (see Material Safety Data Sheets for the substances in use, the chemical reactions and the by-products). Close off
the pump’s inlet and exhaust flanges using blank flanges.
6 When disposing of the pump, observe the applicable environment reg-
ulations.
0.5 Noise Hazard
1 The noise level of the pump during ultimate pressure operation corre-
sponds to the values stated in the technical data. In other operating
modes and depending on the connected vacuum system, higher values can be expected. Make sure that suitable protection measures are
taken to protect your hearing.
The ECODRY plus is an eight-stage Roots pump. It is of the dry compressing
type and capable of evacuating chambers down to the medium vacuum
range.
The pump is connected to a single-phase supply using a mains power cable
and is powered via a built-in electronic drive unit. It is air-cooled. Bearings
and gears are lubricated using PFPE. The pump is therefore maintenancefree from the customer’s perspective.
1.1 Supplied Equipment
The pump is delivered ready for use, except from a power cable. Inlet and
exhaust flanges are closed. The scope of delivery includes:
■
2 centering rings, 2 clamping rings, 2 blank flanges for the inlet and
exhaust flanges

For transportation lift the pump at the crane eye or safely secured on a suitable pallet.
The pump must not be tilted more than 30 degrees during transport.
For transports over short distances slightly lift the pump at the front side and
move it to the desired location.
Storage
Store the pumps only horizontally standing on their feet and castors.
The pump has been blanked off with blank flanges. Open the pump only
immediately before installing it.
Until putting the pump into service, store the pump in a dry place preferably
at room temperature blanked off with the supplied blank flanges.
The pump must be stored at the most for one year only. Longer storing without turning the rotors will damage the bearings. Therefore, if you are storing
the pump for longer periods, it should be run once a year for at least 45 minutes and then returned to storage, as described in the following sections.
(The intake flange can stay sealed during this brief operation, the exhaust
flange must be opened.)
Place the pump on a straight and level surface (max. tilt of 2°).
To ensure sufficient cooling of the pump, the fan openings of the pump must
not be obstructed, see fig. 3.2.
3.2 Conforming Use
The ECODRY plus has been designed to produce a vacuum. It is capable of
pumping clean, dry gases, which are free of particles, like air, nitrogen, oxy-
gen ≤ 21%, argon with inlet pressure < 100 mbar and helium. Moreover, it is
capable of evacuating vessels of vacuum systems down to the medium vacuum range.
The pump is suited for deployment as a backing pump for turbomolecular
pumps.
Organic solvents may only be pumped in traces/at low concentrations (consult Leybold first) outside the flammability range. The pump is suited for
pumping water vapour within the limits given in the technical data.
Connect the exhaust line with a hose to the pump, or when operating the
pump without a connected exhaust line, operate the pump only in a well
ventilated room. The operator must check, whether the pumped gases will
lead to safety risks on the environment if the pump is operated without an
exhaust line (i.e. risk of suffocation, risk of slipping due to condensing
vapours, etc.).
The cross-section of the exhaust line must at least match the inside diameter
of the connections.
Smaller cross sections may cause an undesirable overpressure within the
system. Do not start up the pump with a constricted or blocked exhaust.
Ensure that any valves or blocking devices in the exhaust line are open.
Clogged exhaust lines will reduce the available pumping speed, increase
temperature and cause overloading of the pump motor or a dangerous
overpressure within the system. There is the risk of bursting. The pump
can generate pressures up to 5 bar (abs.) at the exhaust, when the discharge line is shut.
When pumping vapours we recommend connecting a condensate separator
at the exhaust.
The exhaust lines should be laid so that they drop down and away thereby
preventing condensate from flowing back into the pump. We recommend a
slope > 3°.
DANGER
Connect the exhaust line to an abatement system with sufficient throughput,
if required by the process.
If within the system toxic substances or gases are being used, then the
operator will be responsible for ensuring that the corresponding safety precautions are introduced!
3.4 Electrical Connection
Read the data on the device nameplate carefully before connecting to mains
voltage. Plug in the power connector.
The pump is only intended for a TN systems network. For other types of networks please contact Leybold.
When using a residual current device (RCD) install type B or type F.
The plug is equipped with a cable pull-out protection. When plugging in the
mains plug, the pull-out protection mechanism engages. To pull out, press
finger on the yellow release lever, which will release the locking mechanism
again.
If required, connect the X1 control interface or the X104 RS 485 interface
(see Section 4.2).
The ECODRY plus can be operated either manually or via an interface.
Operation
Switch the pump only on provided an exhaust line has been connected.
The exhaust of the pump must not be blocked or constricted. Never operate the pump with the seal-off stoppers in place blanking off the exhaust
port.
4.1 Manual Operation
For manual operation, connect the jumper supplied with the unit to the X1
interface.
Switch the pump on at the MAINS switch and wait for approximately two
seconds while the pump initialises. Now the pump can be started using the
start/stop switch (PUMP).
Following start-up, the pump requires a few seconds in order to reach its
rated frequency.
In this mode, the X104 interface can only be used for reading off operating
parameters.
4.2 Interfaces
4.2.1 X1 Control Interface
The pump can be incorporated within a plant control system by means of the
X1 control interface. To do this, set the start/stop (PUMP) switch to “1”. The
ECODRY plus can be started remotely by closing the pin 8 contact to pin 9
on the X1 interface. Opening the contact stops the unit.

Operation
Approx. 1,000 hours before reaching the recommended service interval, the
display will show the warning message „SEr“ and the remaining time indicated by a „d“ (for days).
The displays change constantly every 3 seconds:
If the recommended service interval is exceeded, the display toggles between
showing the frequency and the warning message „SEr“.
The operating area of the gas ballast switch can
be distorted contrary to the depiction.
Fig. 3.4 Gas ballast switch
4.3 Gas Ballast
If the process contains mainly permanent gases, the ECODRY plus may be
operated without gas ballast.
If the composition of the gases to be pumped is not known and if condensation in the pump cannot be ruled out, run the pump with the gas ballast valve
open.
Pumping of Condensable Gases and Vapours
If the gas ballast valve is open when the temperature is at operating level, the
ECODRY plus can pump water vapour within the limits specified in the technical data. If the vapour pressure rises above the permitted water vapour tolerance, the gasses condense to vapour in the pump.This can lead to corrosion and thus damage to the pump.
Before pumping out vapours, open the gas ballast valve and warm up the
pump for around 30 minutes with the inlet line closed.
Running under gas ballast has a detrimental effect on the ultimate pressure
which can be achieved.
After a pumpdown cycle leave the pump to operate for at least 30 minutes
approx. with the gas ballast open and the intake line closed until it is dry
again.
With the gas ballast valve opened the vacuum vessel will be vented in the
event of a power failure.
Swapping out the gas ballast switch
The gas ballast switch can be swapped for a solenoid valve or a purge gas
connector.
To do this, unscrew the gas ballast switch from the pump using a 6 mm Allen
key.
Then, screw in a suitable solenoid valve or purge gas connector with a quarter-inch thread. Max torque = 8 Nm.
Following assembly, check for leaks in the pump in order to ensure optimum
vacuum performance.
When connecting a gas supply to the gas ballast, reduce the pressure to 0.5
bar(g).
Stop the pump using the start/stop switch or via an interface. If the pump is
to be disconnected from the supply voltage, switch off the mains switch.
If the gas ballast valve is closed, rapid ventilation of the attached vacuum
vessel and damage to any turbomolecular pump which may be attached are
prevented by means of a check valve.
Decommissioning
If the pump is to be decommissioned for an extended period of time, the
pump should first be run dry and then evacuated.
The pump should then be switched off and removed from the system.
DANGER
When the pump has been used to pump hazardous gases, introduce
appropriate safety precautions before opening the intake or the discharge
connections.
Close off the inlet aperture using the blank flange supplied with the unit.
Leave the outlet flange open or, if necessary, connect it to a suitable
exhaust system.
Start the pump and, with the gas ballast switch open, let it run for at least
30 minutes.
Thereafter, close the gas ballast switch and run the pump for a further
5 minutes.
Then, stop the pump and leave it connected to the power supply for
another few minutes to cool down (the ventilator continues to run).
Next, close off the pump’s outlet aperture using the blank flange supplied
with the unit, switch of the MAINS switch and remove the mains plug.
The pump is maintenance-free. We recommend that a precautionary service
(an overhaul at the Leybold Service Centre) be carried out after 35,000 hours
of operation or after five years of service life at the latest, whichever occurs
sooner. The pump is fitted with a counter for this purpose, which shows the
remaining number of days of operation until the next recommended service
on the pump’s display. For a long pump life we recommend regular service
by Leybold.
The recommended service intervals refer to continuous operation with inlet
pressures below 50 mbar and the pumping of non-condensable gases. In
case of frequent operation above 50 mbar, frequent pumping cycles or when
pumping condensing gases, we recommend shortening the service intervals.
Please contact Leybold.
1000 hours before reaching the recommended service interval, the display
will show the message SEr alternating with the down-counting hours remaining and the current speed. If the recommended service interval is exceeded,
the message toggles between SEr and the current speed.
Service
Within the pumps, fluoropolymers are used as a sealant (FKM) and as a
lubricant (PFPE). In case the pump suffers severe mechanical damage, it
cannot be ruled out that toxic and/or corrosive substances may be
released due to thermal decomposition. Do not open the pump module,
and close off the inlet and exhaust flanges using blank flanges.
The pump is equipped with EMC devices on the input side. Observe this
during device tests/commissioning.
