Applications

PCE-RVP vacuum pumps are used to create a vacuum by evacuating gas from a sealed

vessel. The pumps are applicable for refrigeration maintenance to charge refrigerants of

CFC, HCFH and HFC such as R12/R22/R134a and air extraction in printing machines, food

processing, gas analysis, thermoplastic molding, etc.. In some cases they can be used as fore

pumps for high vacuum equipment.

Features

1. High ultimate vacuum and high pumping speed

High ultimate vacuum and high pumping speed are achieved by taking integral cylinder

construction with high precision.

2. High efficient filtration

High quality filter element is used to reduce oil mist effectively.

3. Comfortable and robust handle

Soft rubber lined handle, comfortable to carry and use.

4. Elegant appearance

Unique and elegant appearance with square-shaped pump casing and fan cover.

Preparation, Operation and Safety Precautions

Preparation

1. Make sure the power supply matches the voltage and frequency marked on the pump

nameplate.

2. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting electrical power to the pump.

3. Fill oil till the oil level reaches the middle position on oil sight glass. Low oil level will cause

pump performance loss while high oil level may result in oil spraying.

2. Check and make sure the air inlet is well sealed without any leakage.

3. Switch on the pump to start operation.

4. Close the valve between the pump and the sealed vessel when the operation is finished.

5. Switch off the pump and remove the power plug.

6. Remove the connecting pipe.

Safety Precautions

WARNING!
To avoid personal injury, please carefully read and follow the instructions of this manual.

Always wear goggles when handling air-conditioning refrigerant.

Do not contact the refrigerant directly! Personal injury may occur.

Hot surface! Do not touch the oil tank or pump casing during pump operation.

Risk of electrical shock! Make sure all equipment are properly grounded when connecting

the power supply.

The pump is not allowed to operate more than 3 minutes while the inlet is exposed to the

atmosphere.

The ambient temperature for proper operation is 5°C - 40°C.

The voltage of the pump is 220V±10%/50Hz. The power socket must be grounded.

The pump body will be damaged to take out the refrigerant when the pump chamber is

pressurized. It is recommended to use special equipment to do this work.

Operation

1. Before using the vacuum pump, remove the inlet cap and connect the pump to the sealed

vessel (Check and make sure the thread of the pipe fits that of the inlet port). The length of the

connecting pipe shall be as short as possible.

Maintenance, Warranty and Troubleshooting

Maintenance

1. Pump oil selection

It’s important to select proper vacuum pump oil to achieve the desired ultimate vacuum. To
ensure the best performance of the pump, it is recommended to use vacuum pump oil with low
viscosity grade of 32 - 46.

The pump oil must be replaced immediately while it is emulsified or contaminated.

2. Oil changing procedure

1. Operate the pump for about one minute to warm it up before changing the oil;

2. Open the inlet when the pump is running so that the oil in the pump chamber is forced to
flow out. Switch off the pump and remove the drain plug to drain the oil. Keep the drained oil
in a suitable vessel and dispose of it properly;

3. Tilt the pump body towards the drain plug to completely empty the pump chamber;

4. Tighten the drain plug;

5. Remove the filling plug and add new pump oil;

6. Tighten the inlet cap, operate the pump for one minute and check the oil level. In case the oil
level is below MIN position on oil sight glass, fill oil to a level between MAX and MIN position.
Install the oil mist trap.

Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC

Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed
of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back.
We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices
