Dear customer,

Your VACUUBRAND diaphragm pumps are designed to provide you with
many years of trouble-free service with optimal performance. Our many
years of practical experience allow us to provide a wealth of application
and safety information. Please read these instructions for use before the
initial operation of your pump.
VACUUBRAND diaphragm pumps combine our many years of experi­ence in design, construction and practical operation, with the latest de­velopments in material and manufacturing technology.

Our quality maxim is the ”zero defect” principle:
Every diaphragm pump, before leaving our factory, is tested intensively,
including an endurance run of 14 hours. Any faults, even those which oc-

cur rarely, are identied and can be eliminated immediately.

After completion of the endurance run, every pump is tested, and must

achieve specications before shipment.

We are committed to providing our customers only pumps that meet this
high quality standard.
While our pumps cannot eliminate all of your work, we design, manufac­ture and test them to ensure that they will be an effective and trouble-free
tool to assist you in that work.

Yours,
VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG

if necessary.

page 8 of 76

NOTICE

Ensure that the equipment and all components are suit­able for the intended application. Use the system only for
aspiration of liquids and ltration.

Setting up and installing the system

➨ Equipment must be connected only to a suitable elec-

trical supply and a suitable ground point. Failure to

connect the motor to ground may result in deadly elec­trical shock.

The supply cable may be tted with a molded Euro-

pean IEC plug or a plug suitable for your local electri­cal supply. If the plug has been removed or has to be
removed, the cable will contain wires color coded as
follows: green or green and yellow: earth; blue or white:
neutral; brown or black: live. The device has an internal
fuse.

+ Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing (e.g., make

sure that an exhaust tubing cannot become blocked).

Risk of bursting!

+ Due to the high compression ratio of the pumps, pres-

sure at the outlet port may be generated that is higher
than the maximum permissible pressure compatible
with the mechanical stability of the system.

+ Always provide a free and pressureless exhaust line.

• Comply with maximum permissible pressures and

pressure differences; see section ”Technical data”. Do
not operate the pumping unit with overpressure at the
inlet or outlet.

• Check that line voltage and current conform with the

equipment. (See rating plate.)

• Avoid overpressure of more than 0.2 bar in instances in

which inert gas is connected.

page 9 of 76

NOTICE

Provide a rm level platform for the equipment. Ensure a

stable position of the pump without any mechanical con­tact except of the pump feet. Comply with all applicable
safety regulations.

Check fan regularly for dust/dirt, clean if necessary to
avoid reduced ventilation. Avoid high heat supply. If the
equipment is brought from cold environment into a room
for operation, allow the equipment to warm up. (Watch for
water condensation on cold surfaces.)

The diameter of the an outlet tubing should be at the least
as large as the diameter of the pump connections.

Comply with all applicable and relevant safety require-
ments (regulations and guidelines), implement the re-

NOTICE

quired actions and adopt suitable safety measures.

Ambient conditions

To the best of our knowledge the equipment is in com­pliance with the requirements of the applicable EC-direc­tives and harmonized standards (see ”Declaration of con­formity”) with regard to design, type and model, especially
directive DIN EN 61010-1. This directive gives, in detail,
conditions, under which the equipment can be operated
safely (see also IP degree of protection).
Adopt suitable measures in case of differences, e. g. us­ing the equipment outdoors, installation in higher altitudes,
conductive pollution or bedewing.
Pay attention to the permissible maximum ambient
temperatures (see ”Technical data”).

page 10 of 76

Operating conditions

➨ The devices have no approval for operation in or

for pumping of potentially explosive atmospheres.

➨ The devices are not suitable to pump:

- unstable substances and substances which react

explosively under impact (mechanical stress) and/
or when being exposed to elevated temperatures
without air,

- self inammable substances,

- substances which are inammable without air and

- explosive substance

➨ The pumps have no approval for operation below

ground.

+ The pumps are not suitable for pumping dust.

• The devices are not suitable for pumping substances
which may form deposits inside the pump. Deposits
and condensate in the pump may lead to increased
temperatures even to the point of exceeding the maxi­mum permitted temperatures! Increased temperatures

may cause ignition of inammable substances that may

have been deposited inside the pump during use.

• If there is a danger of the formation of deposits in the
pump chamber (check inlet and outlet of the pump), in­spect the pump chamber regularly and clean if neces­sary.

• Take into consideration interactions and chemical

NOTICE

reactions of the pumped media.

• Ensure that the materials of the wetted parts are com­patible with the pumped substances, see section ”Tech­nical data”.

If pumping different substances, it is recommended that
the pump be purged with air or inert gas prior to chang­ing the pumped media in order to pump out residues and
to avoid reactions of the pumped substances with each
other and with the pump materials.

page 11 of 76

Safety during operation

➨ Avoid interactions of media in the collection bottle.
Comply with material safety data sheets and notes on

safe use of the manufacturer.

Do not mix incompatible disinfectants and/or in-

compatible reagents / solvents or any unknown
substances.

For example sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach)

Incompatible chemicals and
agents

Acids or acidic compounds
(e. g. hydrochloric acid,
aluminium chloride)
Ammonia containing compounds
(e. g. ammonium hydroxide,
quarternary ammonium salts)
Organic chemicals
(e. g. solvents, polymers,
amines, oils)
Metals (e. g. copper, iron)
Hydrogen peroxide
Reducing agents

Possible results of mixing with
sodium hypochlorite (chlorine
bleach)

Release of chlorine gas

Formation of explosive compounds,
release of chlorine gas and other
hazardous gases
Formation of chlorinated organics,
release of chlorine gas and other
hazardous gases
Release of oxygen, overpressure,
rupture of a closed system

Production of heat, boiling
(e. g. sodium thiosulfate)
Guanidine salts
(e. g. guanidine hydrochloride,
guanidine thiocyanate)

➨ Avoid the formation of dangerous reactions / gases in

the BVC, especially in the collection bottle. If this is im­possible dispose of dangerous gases at the outlet of
the pump appropriately.

Release of toxic gases, e. g. chlo-

rine, chloramine, hydrogen cyanide

page 12 of 76

➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan-

gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting
uids, vapors and gases. In such cases, install an ap­propriate collecting and disposal system and take pro­tective action for pump and environment.

➨ If the equipment is used in combination with hazardous

materials (e. g., in medical-microbiological laborato­ries) check all relevant safety and health requirements

and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use if necessary.

➨ Use appropriate safety work materials and methods if

necessary, e. g., steam sterilization, sterilization indica­tors or germicides. For notes concerning the steriliza­tion of wetted parts, see the “Technical Data” section
and “Cleaning and decontaminating”. It is the user´s
responsibility to ensure effective sterilization.

➨ Never operate a defective or damaged device.

➨ The user must take suitable precautions to prevent any

formation of explosive mixtures in the expansion cham­ber or in the housing. In case of a diaphragm crack, for
example, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces
or static electricity may ignite these mixtures. Use inert
gas for venting if necessary.

➨ Potentially explosive mixtures at the outlet of the pump

have to be drained appropriately, evacuated, or diluted
with inert gas to non-explosive mixtures.

+ Check the collection bottle regularly for cracks. Never

use a collection bottle with cracks nor expose it to vac­uum.

+ Use the system only in combination with the integrated

hydrophobic lter (sterilizable) to protect pump and en­vironment (people).

page 13 of 76

+ Comply with applicable regulations when disposing of

chemicals. Take into consideration that chemicals may
be polluted. Take adequate precautions to protect peo­ple from the effects of dangerous substances (chemi­cals, thermal decomposition products of uoroelas­tomers), wear appropriate safety-clothing and safety
glasses.

+ Use only OEM spare parts and accessories; other-

wise safety and performance of the equipment as well
as the electromagnetic compatibility of the equipment
might be reduced.

The CE mark or the cTUVus mark (see rating plate)

may become void if original equipment manufacturer

NOTICE

parts are not used.

+ In case of leaks in the manifold, aspirated substances

might be released into the environment. Comply es­pecially with notes on operation and use and mainte­nance.

+ Due to the residual leak rate of the equipment, there

may be an exchange of gas, albeit extremely slight, be­tween the environment and the vacuum system. Adopt
suitable measures to prevent contamination of the
pumped substances or the environment.

Maximum liquid level in collection bottle: approx. 80
%, depending on the application. (When working with low­boiling liquids, or liquids that tend to foam, the maximum
liquid level might be reduced).

Ensure that, in case of failure, the system will always re­turn to a safe status. Provide appropriate protective mea­sures (i.e., precautions which allow for the requirements
of the respective application) even for the case of failure
and malfunction. When operating the pump, the loss of
pumping or venting must not lead to a critically dangerous
situation under any circumstances.

page 14 of 76

NOTICE

Electronic equipment is never 100% fail-safe. This may

lead to an indenite status of the equipment. Failure of the

pumping unit (e. g., by power failure) or connected compo­nents, or change of parameters must not lead to a critically
dangerous situation under any circumstances. In case of
diaphragm cracks or leaks in the manifold, pumped sub­stances might be released into the environment or into the
pump housing. Comply especially with notes on operation
and use and maintenance.

• Pay attention to the safety symbol ”hot surfaces” on
the equipment. Hot parts may cause burns if touched.
Adopt suitable measures to prevent any danger arising
from hot surfaces or electric sparks. Ensure that hot
surfaces of the pump do not cause burns. Provide a
suitable contact guard if necessary.

In case of overload, the motor is shut down by a self-hold
thermal cutout in the winding. Attention: Manual reset is
necessary. Switch off the pump or isolate the equipment
from power supply. Identify and eliminate the cause of fail-

ure. Wait approx. ve minutes before restarting the pump.

• Attention: In case of supply voltage below 100V (100-

120V version), the lock of the cutout might be restricted

and the pump might restart on its own after sufcient

cooling down. Take suitable precautions if an automatic
restart of the pump may lead to a critical dangerous
situation.

Maintenance and repair

NOTICE

Wear parts have to be replaced regularly. Under typi­cal operating conditions, the projected lifetime of the dia­phragms and valves is > 15000 operating hours. Bearings
have a typical durability of 40000 h. Motor capacitors have
a typical durability in the range of 10000 to 40000 h de­pending strongly on the operating conditions like ambient
temperature, humidity or load.

page 15 of 76

➨ Never operate the pump if covers or other parts of the

pump are disassembled. Ensure that the pump cannot
be operated accidentally.

➨ Isolate equipment from power supply before re-

moving the cover!

➨ Before starting maintenance, unplug the equipment and

wait 5 seconds to allow the capacitors to discharge.

➨ Attention: The pump might be contaminated with nox-

ious or otherwise dangerous process chemicals that
have been pumped during operation. Ensure that the
pump is decontaminated before maintenance.

+ Take adequate precautions to protect people from the

effects of dangerous substances if contamination has
occurred. Wear appropriate safety-clothing when you
come in contact with contaminated components.

+ Wear parts have to be replaced regularly.
+ Never operate a defective or damaged pump.
+ Check every motor capacitor regularly by measuring its

capacity and estimating its operation time. Exchange
old capacitors early enough to prevent a failure. When
motor capacitors fail, they can get hot enough to melt

or cause a ame which could be dangerous for per­sons and equipment in the vicinity. Motor capacitors

have to be replaced by an electrician.

+ Before starting maintenance, vent the system and al-

low sufcient cooling of the pump. Drain condensate, if

applicable. Avoid the release of pollutants.

NOTICE

Ensure that maintenance is carried out only by suitably
trained and supervised technicians. Ensure that the mainte­nance technician is familiar with the safety procedures which
relate to the products processed by the pumping system.
In order to comply with law (occupational, health and safety
regulations, safety at work law and regulations for environ­mental protection) vacuum pumps, components and meas­uring instruments returned to the manufacturer can be re­paired only when certain procedures (see section ”Repair

- Maintenance - Return - Calibration”) are followed.

Notes regarding the setting of the suction power

Depending on ambient atmospheric pressure (depending on altitude or
weather conditions) and on the vapor pressure of the media inside the
collection bottle, the setting of a high underpressure (e. g., 850 mbar, 8

LEDs ash) may lead to continuous operation of the pump. In this case,

a reduction of the suction power is recommended.

Example:
Ambient pressure in high altitudes or in a depression: 800 mbar.
Suction power set to 8 LED´s, 850 mbar underpressure relative to ambi­ent pressure.
Result: Pump is continuously running, the set pressure difference is nev­er achieved.
Recommendation: Reduce suction power.

Level sensor of BVC professional / BVC professional G

The sensor foil is located on the bottle support.

The level sensor gives an alarm and switches off the pump to avoid an

overlling of the collection bottle, if the liquid level in the collection bottle

reaches the height of the level sensor, approximately 80% of the maxi­mum bottle capacity (grey marked range with bottle symbols on the sen­sor foil, both for the 2l or 4l bottle).

We recommend checking the function of the level sensor regularly (de-

pending on operating conditions): Fill bottle with liquid, and conrm that

the level sensor alarms. The initiation time of the level sensor is up to 10
seconds.

NOTICE

In case of false alarm (empty bottle or bottle less than 80% lled) it might

be necessary to adjust the sensor using the individual bottle. (See sec­tion “Adjustment of the level sensor”.)

Strong electromagnetic elds may inuence the alarm level of the capaci­tive measurement element.

Incrustations or other deposits on the bottle wall may inuence the alarm

level of the capacitive measurement element, see section “Cleaning”.

Silencer at the outlet
Attention: Dust-laden gases, deposits and con-

densed solvent vapor can restrict air ow out

the silencer. The resultant back pressure can
lead to damage of pump bearings, diaphragms,
and valves. Under those conditions, a silencer
must not be used. Check the silencer regularly
and replace if necessary.
In case of harmful / poisonous gases or con­densate at the outlet, remove silencer and re­place with an exhaust tube.

NOTICE

The VHC
manual ”VacuuHandControl VHC

pro

allows the aspiration of excess liquids. See

pro

”.

The aspiration system doesn’t feature an air admittance
valve. If the collection bottle is under vacuum and the vac­uum demand is reduced, the existing underpressure in­side the bottle remains until the vacuum is reduced (pres­sure rises) by further aspiration with the VHC

pro

.

Attention: Removing the connection tubing from the screw
cap leads to immediate venting of the collection bottle. In
systems without quick couplings, removal of the tubing at
the pump inlet will also vent the system.

page 31 of 76

NOTICE

The pump achieves its pumping speed, ultimate vacu­um and vapor pumping rate only at operating temperature

(after approx. 15 minutes).
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust.
The diaphragm and valves will be damaged, if liquids are

transferred through the pump in signicant amounts.

In case of excess temperature the motor is shut down by a
thermal cutout in the winding. Manual reset is necessary.

Switch off or unplug the pump. Identify cause of failure

and eliminate. Wait approx. ve minutes before restarting

the pump.

Attention: In case of supply voltage below 100V (100-
120V version), the lock of the cutout might be restricted
and the pump might restart on its own after sufcient cool­ing down. Take suitable precautions if an automatic restart
of the pump may lead to a critical dangerous situation.

After a power failure, the system will automatically start
again.

Shutdown

NOTICE

Short-term:

Empty bottle.
Has the pump been exposed to condensate?
Set the VHC
maximum underpressure and allow the pump to continue
to run for a few minutes.
Has the pump been exposed to media which may damage

Replacing diaphragms and valves

➨ Never operate the pump if covers or other parts of the

pump are disassembled.

➨ Before starting maintenance, disconnect the electri-

cal power cord. Wait 5 seconds after isolating the

equipment from AC power to allow the capacitors to
discharge.

➨ Ensure that the pump cannot be operated accidentally.
➨ Note: The pump might be contaminated with the pro-

cess chemicals that have been pumped during opera­tion. Ensure that the pump is decontaminated before
maintenance.

➨ Avoid the release of pollutants.

+ Never operate a defective or damaged pump.
+ Take adequate precautions to protect people from the

effects of dangerous substances that may have con­taminated the pump and may be released upon dis­assembly. Ensure that the maintenance technician is
familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the
products processed by the pumping system.

Use appropriate protective clothing, safety goggles and

protective gloves.

+ Check every motor capacitor regularly by measuring its

capacity and estimating its service life. Replace old ca­pacitors early enough to prevent a failure. The capaci­tors must be replaced by a trained electrician.

+ Allow sufcient cooling of the pump before starting

maintenance.

+ Vent the pump and isolate it from the vacuum sys-

tem before you start maintenance.

page 58 of 76

NOTICE

Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitably
trained and supervised technicians.

The valves and diaphragms as well as the motor capac­itors are wear parts. If the rated ultimate vacuum is no
longer achieved or in case of increased noise level, the
pump interior, the diaphragms and the valves must be
cleaned and the diaphragms and valves must be checked
for cracks or other damage.

All bearings are encapsulated and are lled with long-life

lubricant. Under normal operating conditions, the drive
system is maintenance free.

In demanding circumstances, it may be efcient to check

and clean the pump heads on a regular basis. In normal
use, the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves
is more than 15,000 operating hours.

- Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or
dust. The diaphragms and valves will be damaged if

liquid is pumped in signicant amount.

- Carry out maintenance frequently if the pump is ex­posed to corrosive media or in case of deposits.

- Regular maintenance will improve the lifetime of the
pump and also protect both users and the environment.

ing attention to washers.

Remove housing cover.

➨ Unscrew union nut and remove hose from

elbow tting. Remove housing cover insert
with elbow tting.

➨ Note position of valves.
+ Replace valves if necessary.

Use petroleum ether or industrial solvent to

remove deposits. Do not inhale vapors.

➨ Remove head cover and valves.
+ Check diaphragm for damage and replace if

necessary.

+ Never remove parts by using a pointed or

sharp-edged tool (e.g., screw driver), we
recommend to use a rubber mallet or com­pressed air (to be blown carefully into port).

Replacing the diaphragm

➨ Lift diaphragm carefully sidewise.
+ Never use a pointed or sharp-edged tool to

lift the diaphragm.

➨ Use the diaphragm key to grip the diaphragm

support disc below the diaphragm. Press
down the diaphragm clamping disc to bring
the diaphragm to its lowest oscillating posi­tion. Unscrew diaphragm support disc with
diaphragm and diaphragm clamping disc.

page 62 of 76

+ If the old diaphragm is difcult to separate

from the diaphragm support disc, immerse
assembly in naphtha or petroleum ether. Do
not inhale vapors!

+ Check for washers between the diaphragm

support disc and the connecting rod. Make
sure that the original number is reassembled.

➨ Position new diaphragm between diaphragm

clamping disc with square head screw and
diaphragm support disc.

+ Note: Position diaphragm with pale side

towards diaphragm clamping disc (facing
pump chamber).

+ Make sure that the square head screw of the

diaphragm clamping disc is correctly seated
in the guide hole of the diaphragm support
disc.

➨ Lift the diaphragm at the side. Place the di-

aphragm carefully together with diaphragm
clamping disc and diaphragm support disc in
the diaphragm key.

+ Avoid damage of the diaphragm: Do not ex-

cessively bend or crease the diaphragm.

➨ Assemble the original number of washers

between diaphragm support disc and con­necting rod.

+ Too few washers: The pump will not attain

vacuum specication. Too many washers:

Diaphragm clamping disc will hit head cover,
causing noisy operation and possibly caus­ing the pump to seize up.

page 63 of 76

➨ Position any washers that are present be-

tween diaphragm support disc and connec­tion rod.

➨ Screw diaphragm clamping disc, diaphragm,

diaphragm support disc, and washers to con­necting rod.

➨ Bring the diaphragm into a position in which

it is in contact with the housing and centered
with respect to the bore so that it will become
clamped uniformly between housing and
head cover.

Assembling the pump head

➨ Lay down the BVC on the side of the pump,

e. g., at the edge of a workbench; support if
necessary.

➨ Assemble head cover and valves.
+ Pay attention to the correct position of the

guidance pin in the head cover (circle in g­ure)!

+ Pay attention to correct orientation of the

valves (see gure):

Inlet side of pump head (black valve): The

valve tongue points at the kidney-shaped or-

ice in the valve seat.

Outlet side of pump head (white valve): The

valve is oriented the opposite direction as
the valve at the inlet side. Round orice un­der the valve tongue.

page 64 of 76

➨ Put on housing cover and housing cover in-

sert.

+ Move housing cover insert slightly to ensure

that the head covers are correctly positioned.

➨ Pay attention to washers and position screws.

Screw in 4 screws with washers at the hous-

ing cover diagonally, loosely at rst with a

Torx driver T20, then tighten.

+ Do not tighten until head cover is in contact

with housing, maximum torque: 2.2 ft.lbf (3
Nm).

➨ Position hose to elbow tting and screw on

the union nut.

➨ Position BVC upright.
➨ Assemble the cover so that the groove in the

in the face side of the cover is at the inlet of
the pump.

➨ Only BVC professional / G: In case the cover

plate is shifted, ensure that the ribbon cable
is not squeezed during reassembly.

➨ Screw on cover, paying attention to wash-

ers.

.

Maximum torque: 2.2 ft

lbf (3 Nm).

➨ Screw in hose nozzle or coupling with hose

nozzle using an open-ended wrench.

page 65 of 76

➨ Position bottle in the support.
➨ Depending on BVC version, position tubing

to hose nozzle or quick coupling.

➨ Screw elbow tting with silencer to the outlet

of the pump (max. 5 turns).

➨ Remove adhesive tape at the cover plate.

Checking the ultimate vacuum

➨ After any intervention at the equipment (e.g., repair / maintenance) the

ultimate vacuum of the pump has to be checked.

The pump achieves its ultimate vacuum if switching off at an atmo-

spheric pressure > 1000 mbar absolute, a maximum underpressure of
850 mbar (8 LEDs glow) and a leak-free apparatus.

If the pump does not achieve the ultimate vacuum:

- Whenever the diaphragms and valves have been replaced, a break-in
period of several hours is required before the pump achieves its ulti­mate vacuum.

- In case of an unusual noise, switch off pump immediately and check
clamping disc positions.

If the specied ultimate vacuum is not achieved, and if this does not

change after the break-in period:
If necessary recheck valve seats and pump chamber.

NOTICE

In case of a false alarm of the level sensor after replacing diaphragms
and valves perform an adjustment of the level sensor, see section “Ad­justment of the BVC level sensor to work properly with a new bottle, or to
correct false alarms”.

Replacing the fuse

➨ Switch off the pump.
➨ Disconnect the electrical power cord before opening

the terminal box. After disconnecting from power, wait
5 seconds to allow the capacitors to discharge.

+ Identify and eliminate the cause of failure before switch-

ing on the equipment again.
