About this manual

Purpose and target audience

This manual, together with the operating manual for the MEMMERT vacuum oven, describes
how to use and put into operation the MEMMERT pump module. Pump modules can be pur­chased with or without a pre-installed vacuum pump.

The manual contains the original maintenance and operating manual for the membrane vacu­um pump, which may have been installed, from the company KNF.

The pump module may only be used in combination with the MEMMERT vacuum oven VO or
VOcool. All information in terms of safety instructions, assembly, function, transport, putting
into operation, operation, troubleshooting, maintenance and decommissioning/disposal can be
found in the operating manual for the vacuum oven VO.

This manual is intended for use by trained personnel of the owner, who have the task of ope­rating and/or maintaining the respective appliance. If you are asked to work on the appliance,
read this manual carefully before starting.

Familiarise yourself with the safety regulations. Only perform work that is described in this ma­nual. If there is something you do not understand, or certain information is missing, ask your
manager or contact the manufacturer. Do not do anything without authorisation.

Other documents to be observed as applicable:

Safety regulations

WARNING

After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. Touching these can lead to an
electric shock. Disconnect the mains plug before removing any covers. Work on

the electrical system must only be performed by qualifi ed electricians.

WARNING

Toxic gases or vapours may be produced in certain applications. These
can escape from the vacuum pump into the room. This can injure people
nearby. The appliance may only be used for such applications if a suction
is attached to the vacuum pump used, which reliably keeps toxic gases or
vapours away from people. Observe the respective national regu-lations for
occupational safety and environmental protection.

2. Use

2.1. Proper use

The pumps are exclusively intended for transferring gases and va­pors.

Owner’s responsibility

Only install and operate the pumps under the operating parameters

conditions

transferred medium

and conditions described in Chapter 4. Technical Data.
Make sure that the installation location is dry and the pump is pro-

tected against rain, splash, hose and drip water as well as other
pollutions.

The gas-tightness of the connections between the application
pipes and the pump (or the pump connection) must be checked
regularly; with leaky connections, there is a danger that hazardous
gases or vapors may escape from the pump system.

Before using a medium, check whether the medium can be trans­ferred danger-free in the specific application case.

Before using a medium, check the compatibility of the materials of
the pump head, diaphragm and valves with the medium.

Only transfer gases which remain stable under the pressures and
temperatures occurring in the pump.

Laboratory equipment or additional components connected to a
vacuum pump system have to be suitable for use with the pneu­matic capabilities of the pump. (see Chapter 4. Technical Data).
