Section I Introduction
This manual contains installation, operation,
care, and repair instructions and user service
information for the RAMVAC® Utility Badger LF
dental vacuum system.
The main purpose of the Badger LF is to provide
a positive displacement, oil-less dry vacuum
system intended for use in a dental facility and
to be used by trained professional dental care
personnel only.
Badger LF is designed to provide trouble-free service
when installed, operated and cared for according to
the procedures set forth in this User Manual.
Badger LF User Manual
Safety Information
Here’s what you need to do to insure the safety
potential of this equipment is achieved:
• Make sure your equipment is installed ac-
cording to our written instructions and the
Installation Checklist is completed. If you have
purchased your RAMVAC from an authorized
dealer, the dealer is responsible for presenting
you with the completed checklist.
Vacuum is supplied to the system by a durable oilless rotary vane pump. A space-saving integrated
separation tank keeps liquid and foam out of the
pump. The E2 control provides precise electrical
control over run-time and shutdown operations
while vacuum is maintained at a uniform level by
the RAMVAC vacuum level control valve.
To ensure proper installation of the Badger
LF, carefully read all instructions contained
in this manual prior to installing, operating,
and servicing. For safety, pay close attention
to all notices, warnings, cautions and notes.
Classications
After the Badger LF is installed, please review the
features, operation procedures and care guidelines with the doctor's sta. Leave this manual in
the doctor's oice for future reference.
RAMVAC vacuum units are certied to ANSI/AAMI,
EX606-0-1:2005(R2012) and certied to CAN/CSA
Standard C22.2 No. 60601-11:08, and comply with
NFPA 99c Level 3 vacuum requirements, and are
manufactured in a FDA Registered ISO 13485:2003
certied facility.
– Type of protection against electric shock:
Class 1 Equipment
– Degree of protection against the ingress of
water: Ordinary
• Exhaust from dental vacuum systems can be
hazardous. Make sure the exhaust pipe is terminated outside your building according to our
written instructions.
• Nitrous oxide and oxygen can be safely scav-
enged in the small concentrations typically
encountered in dental analgesia. The additional
air drawn into a properly installed and operated
Vacuum Unit will dilute these agents.
• Never use your RAMVAC to remove pure nitrous
oxide, oxygen or other oxidizing agents directly
from storage vessels or supply hoses. Large
concentrations may cause a re in the Vacuum
Unit and may cause an exhaust hazard.
• Never use this equipment in an OXYGEN RICH
ENVIRONMENT. Large concentrations may
cause a re in the Vacuum Unit and may cause
an exhaust hazard.
• Never use your RAMVAC for housekeeping
functions.
• Never use your RAMVAC to collect lab dust.

an hour or more.
NOTE: No high voltage switching with the Badger LF.
NOTE: No special skills are required by the operator
to safely utilize this equipment. Contact the installing
dealer or RAMVAC if the following pages do not adequately answer all questions.
Shutdown Cycle
Turn the unit OFF at the end of each day. When
the unit is turned o, the power status light will
blink for 90 seconds, the tank will drain and the
Vacuum Pump will RESTART and run for a period
of 10 minutes. After this time has elapsed, the unit
will automatically turn o. This cycle is utilized to
prevent corrosion in the pump.
Vacuum Level
The vacuum level of the Badger LF is factory set
at 7 inch Hg (when all HVEs and SEs are closed).
Do not increase vacuum level above 12 inch Hg.
Separation Tank
The Badger LF contains an integrated separation
tank that will collect uids that are evacuated from
the operatory room. If the uid rises to an excessive
level within the tank, the Badger LF will disrupt vacuum for approximately 60 seconds in order for the
tank to drain. After this drain time has elapsed, the
unit will automatically restart and restore vacuum.
NOTICE
IMPORTANT: Fluids in the separation tank are
hazardous. The Badger’s drain must be properly
connected to the facility’s sewer plumbing.

EMC Information
Recommended separation distances
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Badger LF
The Badger LF is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled.
The customer or the user of the Badger LF can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Badger LF as
recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
Rated maximum output power

10 3.79 3.79 7. 27
100 12.00 12.00 23.00
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated
using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W)
according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and reection from structures, objects and people.

a Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM
and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the Badger LF is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Badger LF should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Badger LF.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
