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 identied and can be eliminated immediately.
After completion of the endurance run, every pump is tested, and must
achieve specications 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

+ Comply with all notes on correct vacuum and electri-
cal connections; see section “Use and operation”, pg.
35.
+ Do not use the pump to generate pressure.
+ The pumps are designed for ambient temperatures
during operation between +50°F and +104°F (+10°C
and +40°C). Periodically check maximum temperatures if installing the pump in a cabinet or a housing.
Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommended operating temperature. Install an external automatic ventilation system if necessary. If pumping hot
process gases, make sure that the maximum permitted
NOTICE
gas inlet temperature is not exceeded. The maximum
permitted gas inlet temperature depends on several
parameters like inlet pressure and ambient temperature (see “Technical data”, pg. 25).
+ Particles and dust must not enter the pump.
+ Do not pump liquids.
• Ensure that the pump is chemically resistant to the
pumped substances prior to operation.
Use the equipment only as intended, that is, for generation, measurement, and control of vacuum in vessels designed for that purpose. The equipment may only be used
indoors in a non-explosive atmosphere.
Any other use will automatically invalidate all warranty and
liability claims. Remain aware of safety and risks.
Setting up and installing the equipment
➨ Equipment must be connected only to a suitable elec-
trical supply and a suitable ground point. As such,
the plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. Failure to connect the motor to ground may
result in deadly electrical shock.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 15
page 15 of 68
The supply cable may be tted with a molded Europe-
an IEC plug or a plug suitable for your local electrical
supply. The cable contains wires color coded as follows: green or green and yellow: ground; blue or white:
neutral; brown or black: hot.
+ Due to the high compression ratio, the pump may gen-
erate overpressure at the outlet. Check pressure compatibility with system components (e.g., exhaust pipeline or exhaust valve) at the outlet.
+ Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing. Make
sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked.
If there is an exhaust isolation valve, make sure that you
cannot operate the equipment with the valve closed to
avoid a risk of bursting!
+ Maximum permissible pressure at the pressure trans-
ducer: 21.8 psi (1.5 bar) absolute.
+ Keep the electrical power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
• Provide a rm, level platform for the equipment. Check
that the system which you are going to evacuate is
mechanically stable. Check that all ttings are secure.
Ensure a stable position of the pump without any mechanical contact other than the pump feet.
• Comply with maximum permissible pressures at in-
let and outlet and with maximum permissible pres-
sure differences between inlet and outlet. See section
“Technical data”, pg. 25. Do not operate the pump
with overpressure at the inlet.
• Comply with maximum permissible pressures at the
pressure transducer. See section “Technical data”, pg.
25.
• Avoid overpressure of more than 17.5 psi absolute (1.2
bar absolute) in the event that gas or inert gas is connected to the pump, or to a venting valve.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 16
page 16 of 68
• Note: Flexible elements will shrink when evacuated.
• Connect hoses gas tight at inlet and outlet of the pump.
• Connect hoses gas tight at the pressure transducer.
• Ensure that no foreign objects can be drawn into the
pump.
• Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate
to be sure that the power source and the equipment
match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
NOTICE
Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommended operating temperature. Keep a minimum distance of
2 in (5 cm) between the cooling fan and surrounding items
(e.g., housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external automatic ventilation system. Check fan regularly for dust/dirt.
Clean fan guard grill if necessary to avoid a reduction of
ventilation.
Position the pressure transducer and its vacuum line in
such a way that condensate cannot ow towards the pressure transducer.
Use only hoses at the inlet and outlet of the pump with
an inner diameter at least as large as the diameter of the
pump’s tubing (to avoid overpressure at the outlet, and
reduction of pumping speed at the inlet).
Allow the equipment to equilibrate to ambient temperature
if you bring it from cold environment into a room prior to
operation. Notice if there is water condensation on cold
surfaces.
Comply with all applicable and relevant safety require-
ments (regulations and guidelines). Implement the required actions and adopt suitable safety measures.

• Do not operate this product near ames.
NOTICE
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. Directive
EN 61010-1 gives in detail the conditions under which the
equipment can be operated safely (see also IP degree of
protection, “Technical data”, pg. 25).
Operating conditions
➨ These pumps are not approved for operation in po-
tentially explosive atmospheres. Do not operate the
pumps in potentially explosive atmospheres.
➨ Pumps without the ” ” mark on the rating plate are
not approved for the pumping of potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not pump potentially explosive atmospheres with those pumps
➨ Pumps bearing the ” ” mark on their rating plates
are approved for the pumping of potentially ex-
plosive atmospheres according to their ATEX clas-
sication imprinted on their rating plate, but they are
not approved for operation in potentially explosive
atmospheres(see section “
Equipment marking (ATEX)”, pg. 23).

page 18 of 68
➨ The pumps are not suitable to pump any of the sub-
stances listed below.
Do not pump:
- unstable substances
- substances which react explosively under impact
(mechanical stress) without air
- substances which react explosively when being exposed to elevated temperatures without air,
- substances subject to auto-ignition,
- substances which are inammable without air
- explosive substances.
➨ The pumps are not approved for operation below
ground. Do not operate the pump below ground.
• Do not pump substances which may form depos-
its inside the pump. The pumps 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.
• Check the inlet and outlet of the pump, if there is a
danger of forming deposits inside the pump, e.g., in
the pump chambers (the pump chamber is the part
between diaphragm and head cover. See section “Replacing diaphragms and valves”, pg. 52). Inspect the
pump chambers regularly and clean if necessary.
• Consider interactions and chemical reactions of
the pumped media. Ensure that the materials of the
pump’s wetted parts are compatible with the pumped
substances, see section “Technical data”, pg. 25.
When changing the substances pumped, we recom-
mend purging the pump with air or inert gas prior to
changing the pumped media. Purging the pump will
pump out residues and it will reduce the possibility of
reactions of the pumped substances with each other
and with the pump’s materials.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818

Safety during operation
➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan-
gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or pollut-
ing uids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission
of such substances from the pump outlet, install an
appropriate collecting and disposal system and take
protective action for pump and environment.
➨ You must take suitable precautions to prevent any for-
mation of explosive mixtures in the pump chamber or
at the outlet of the pump. In case, e.g., of a diaphragm
failure, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces
or static electricity may ignite these mixtures. Use inert
gas for venting, if necessary.
➨ Drain appropriately or otherwise remove any poten-
tially explosive mixtures at the outlet of the pump, or
dilute them to non-explosive concentrations.
➨ Never operate this pump if it has a damaged cord or
plug.
+ If the pump is not working properly, has been dropped
or has fallen into water, contact your pump service provider.
+ Prevent any part of the human body from coming into
contact with vacuum.
+ Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become
blocked.
+ Attention: At pressures above approximately 810 Torr
(1080 mbar) the pressure reading becomes incorrect.

be contaminated. Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous substances
(chemicals, thermal decomposition products of uoroelastomers). Use appropriate protective clothing and
safety goggles.
+ Interruption of the pump (e.g., due to power failure),
failure of connected components or of parts of the supply, or change in parameters must not be allowed to
lead to dangerous conditions. In case of a diaphragm
failure or in case of a leak in the manifold, pumped
substances might be released into the environment or
into the pump housing or motor.
Comply with all notes regarding proper use of the
pumps, as well as operation and maintenance guidance.
+ The residual leak rate of the equipment might render
possible 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.
• Ensure that no parts of your clothing, hair or ngers
can be caught or drawn in at the inlet of the pump.
Never insert ngers or drop any other object into the
inlet or outlet.
• You must take suitable precautions to prevent any
dangerous situation from arising if the controller starts
the VARIO pump, switches a coolant valve or opens a
venting valve.
• Attention: If the controller is set to Autostart, the pro-
cess will start immediately when switching on the device
or in case of power recurrence after a power failure. It
is your responsibility to ensure that automatic start-up
of the system will not lead to any dangerous condition.
Provide appropriate safety measures. Check prior to
starting the process whether the option ”Autostart”
(menu: Settings\Basic Settings) is enabled.

• 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.
NOTICE
Prevent the backpressure of gases and the backow of
condensates at the outlet.
Provide appropriate protective measures to allow for the
possibility of failure and malfunction. The protective measures must also allow for the requirements of the respective application.
In case of overload, the motor is shut down by a self-hold
thermal cutout in the winding.
Note: Only manual reset is possible. Acknowledge the er-
ror message at the controller. Switch off the pump and
disconnect from the power source. Identify and eliminate
the cause of failure. Wait approx. ve minutes before restarting the pump.
NOTICE
Maintenance and repair
In order to comply with laws (occupational, health and
safety regulations, safety at work law and regulations for
environmental protection) vacuum pumps, components
and measuring instruments can only be returned when
certain procedures (see section “Repair - Maintenance Return - Calibration”, pg. 60) are followed.
Take advantage of our service seminars, which put special
focus on the maintenance and repair of vacuum pumps.

In normal use, the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is
typically 15,000 operating hours. Bearings have a typical
durability of 40000 h.
➨ Ensure that the pump cannot be operated acciden-
tally. Never operate the pump if covers or other
parts of the pump are disassembled.
➨ Switch off the pump. Disconnect the electrical
power cord and wait two minutes before starting
maintenance to allow the capacitors to discharge.
➨ Note: The pump may be contaminated with process
chemicals, which have been pumped during operation.
Ensure that the pump is completely decontaminated

before maintenance commences.
+ Take adequate precautions to protect people from the
effects of dangerous substances if contamination has
occurred. Use appropriate protective clothing, safety
goggles and protective gloves.
+ Wear parts have to be replaced regularly.
+ Never operate a defective or damaged pump.
+ Vent the pump before starting maintenance. Isolate the
pump and other components from the vacuum system.
Allow sufcient cooling of the pump.
Ensure that maintenance is done 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.
Only dismantle the pump as far as necessary.

Important information: Equipment marking (ATEX)
`
VACUUBRAND equipment bearing the ATEX mark
(see rating plate)
The classication according to ATEX is only valid for the inner part (wetted part, pumped gas or vapor) of the equipment. The equipment is not
suitable for use in external, potentially explosive atmospheres (environment).
The overall category of the equipment depends on the connected com-
ponents. If the connected components do not comply with the classication of the VACUUBRAND equipment, the specied category of the
VACUUBRAND equipment is no longer valid.
Vacuum pumps and vacuum gauges in category 3 are intended for connection to equipment in which during normal operation explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapors or mists normally don’t occur; or, if they
do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently and for a short period only.
Equipment in this category ensures the requisite level of protection during normal operation.
The use of gas ballast or the operation of venting valves is only permitted if thereby explosive atmospheres normally don’t occur in the interior
of the equipment or, if they do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently
and for a short period.
The pumps are marked with ”X” (according to EN 13463-1), i.e., restrictions of the operation conditions:
• The equipment is designated for a low degree of mechanical stress
and has to be installed in a way so that it cannot be damaged from
outside.
Pumping units have to be installed so that they are protected against
shocks from the outside and against glass splinters in the event of
breakage (implosion).
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 24
page 24 of 68
• The equipment is designated for an ambient and gas inlet temperature
during operation of +10 to +40°C. Never exceed these ambient and
gas inlet temperatures. If pumping / measuring gases which are not
potentially explosive, extended gas inlet temperatures are permissible.
See instructions for use, section “Gas inlet temperatures” or “Technical data”.
After any intervention at the equipment (e.g., repair / maintenance) the ultimate vacuum of the pump has to be checked. Only if the pump achieves
its specied ultimate vacuum is the pump’s leak rate low enough to ensure that no explosive atmospheres will occur in the interior of the equipment.
After any intervention at the vacuum sensor, the leak rate of the equipment has to be checked.
Attention: This manual is not available in all
languages of the EU. The user must not operate the device if he does not understand
this manual. In this case a technically correct translation of the complete manual has
to be available. The manual must be completely read and understood before opera-
tion of the device. All specied measures
must be applied, or else must be replaced
by equivalent measures at the user’s own
risk.

Use and operation
Apart from a short description of the VACUU·SELECT® operating panel,
this manual describes the mechanical structure of the diaphragm pump.
Operation of the VACUU·SELECT® vacuum controller and its functions are described in the separate VACUU·SELECT® manual.
Installing a pump in a vacuum system
➨ If dangerous or polluting uids could be released at
the outlet, install an appropriate system to catch and
dispose of those uids.
+ Connect a gas-tight exhaust line at the pump outlet if
necessary. Always vent exhaust gases appropriately
(e.g., into a fume hood).
+ Never block the gas outlet. The exhaust line must al-
ways be free of obstructions (no back pressure) to ensure an unimpeded discharge of gas. The cross-section of the outlet tubing must be at least the size of the
pump’s exhaust connection.
+ Maximum permissible pressure: 21.8 psi (1.5 bar) ab-
solute.
+ Attention: At pressures above approximately 810 Torr
(1080 mbar) the pressure reading becomes incorrect. The display will ash and a warning message will
be displayed. Release pressure immediately! Risk of
bursting!
+ Particles and dust must not be aspirated. If necessary,
you must install appropriate lters. You must ensure
their suitability concerning gas ow, chemical resis-
tance and resistance to clogging prior to use.
+ Make sure ventilation is adequate, especially if the pump
is installed in an enclosure, or if the ambient temperature
is elevated. Provide external ventilation, if necessary.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 36
page 36 of 68
• Reduce the transmission of vibration. Prevent mechanical load due to rigid pipelines. Insert elastic hoses or
exible elements as couplings between the pump and
rigid pipes.
Note: Flexible elements will compress or atten when
evacuated if not designed for use under vacuum.
• Hose connections at the pump inlet must always be
gas tight.
• A power failure may cause accidental ventilation of the
pump. If this constitutes a potential source of danger,
take appropriate safety measures.
• Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate
NOTICE
to be sure that the power source and the equipment
match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommended operating temperature. Keep a minimum distance of
2 in (5 cm) between the cooling fan and surrounding items
(e.g., housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external automatic ventilation system.
Use connecting hoses with large diameter and keep them
as short as possible to avoid ow losses. Locate the pump
as closely as possible to the application.
Always install outlet tubing descending from the pump or
provide other measures to avoid backow of condensate
towards the pump.
Use a suitable valve to isolate the pump from the vacuum
application. This is to allow the pump to warm up before
pumping condensable vapors and to clean the pump after
use before it is switched off.
When assembling, ensure vacuum-tightness. After assembly, check the whole system for leaks.
Secure hose connections at the pump appropriately, e.g.,
with hose clamps, to protect against accidental detachment.

VACUU•SELECT Controller
Connect the VACUU·SELECT operating panel to the
VACUU·BUS cable of the VARIO diaphragm pump.
For proper operation of the VARIO select pump a pressure transducer (e.g., VACUU·SELECT Sensor, etc.) has
to be connected to the operating panel.
The VACUU·SELECT Controller can only be operated
with components compatible with the VACUUBRAND
VACUU·BUS system, (see “Accessories”, pg. 48).
The vacuum controller controls VACUUBRAND VARIO
diaphragm pumps and optional coolant and venting
NOTICE
valves. Connected components (e.g., venting valves,
VACUU·SELECT Sensor, etc.) are automatically identied when switching on the operation panel. Identical components must be congurated beforehand, see manual of
VACUU·SELECT Controller.
Attention: Do not apply off-axis forces when assembling
or removing plug connections! Observe correct orientation of the plug.
To connect further components use VACUU·BUS Y-adapters and extension cables.
Do not use more than one controller within the same
VACUU·BUS system.
Several controllers in the same VACUU·BUS system
will interfere with each other and result in error messages of the connected components (pumps, valves).
VACUU·SELECT Sensor
The VACUU·SELECT Sensor is equipped with a capacitive pressure transducer with ceramic diaphragm. It measures the actual pressure independently of the gas type,
and with reference to the vacuum, i.e., absolute.
Connect the VACUU·SELECT Sensor via the VACUU·BUS
cable to the operating panel.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 38
page 38 of 68
Connect the VACUU·SELECT Sensor via hose or small
ange connection to the vacuum application. Do not mount
the sensor directly at the pump but close to the application. The cross-section of the tubing should be as large as
possible.
Inside a vacuum system where evaporation occurs, e.g.,
a rotary evaporator, the vacuum is not uniform. For example, a condenser can act as a pump, or the vacuum in
the connecting tubing can be higher or lower than in the
application itself. This affects the measurement results as
well as the control levels. Therefore, carefully choose the
position where to connect the sensor.
Position the VACUU·SELECT Sensor and its vacuum line
in such a way that condensate cannot ow towards the
pressure transducer. Condensate and deposits will affect
the measurement results. Clean the pressure transducer,
if necessary. See section “Cleaning the pressure transducer”, pg. 47.
Installing the hose nozzle at the VACUU·SELECT Sensor:
Unscrew the small ange. Slip hose nozzle with clamping
ring onto the vacuum connection and fasten with union
nut.
VACUU·BUS
The VACUU·SELECT controller uses VACUU·BUS protocol to read out the pressure transducer via VACUU·BUS
line. Maximum cable length inside buildings: 32yd (30m).
VACUU·BUS extension cable 2.2 yd (2 meters): order-no.

During operation
➨ Vent and dispose of potentially dangerous gases or
vapors at the outlet of the pump appropriately.
+ Due to the high compression ratio, the pump might
generate overpressure at the outlet. Check pressure
compatibility with system components (e.g., exhaust
tubing or exhaust valve) at the outlet. Ensure that the
pump outlet is neither blocked nor restricted.
+ Maximum ambient temperature: 104 °F (40 °C)
Check the maximum temperatures, if installing the
pump in a cabinet or a housing. Make sure ventilation
is adequate, especially if the ambient temperature is
elevated.
+ Operation with silencer at the outlet: Operating the
pump at a high inlet pressure or pumping dusty gases for a long time may cause clogging of the silencer.
Check the silencer regularly and replace if necessary,
or install a hose nozzle (order no. 20639758) with sealing ring (order no. 20639729) instead.
• If the pump is installed at an altitude of more than 6500
ft (2000 m) above mean sea level, check compatibility
with applicable safety requirements, and adopt suitable measures. There is a risk of the motor overheat-
ing due to insufcient cooling.
NOTICE
• Check compatibility with the maximally permitted
pressure at outlet and the maximum pressure difference between inlet and outlet ports.
Do not start the pump if the pressure difference between
inlet and outlet ports exceeds max. 16.0 psi (1.1 bar).
Attempts to start the pump at higher pressure difference
may cause stalling and damage of the motor.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 42
page 42 of 68
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust.
The diaphragms and valves will be damaged, if liquids are
pumped in signicant amounts.
Check the pump regularly for external soiling and deposits. Clean the pump if necessary to avoid an increase of
the pump’s operating temperature.
In case of overload, the motor is shut down by a self-hold
thermal cutout in the winding.
Note: Only manual reset is possible. Acknowledge the er-
ror message at the controller. Switch off the pump and
disconnect from the power source. Identify and eliminate
the cause of failure. Wait approx. ve minutes before restarting the pump.
Check fan regularly for dust/dirt. Clean if necessary. Avoid
overheating (e.g., due to hot process gases).
A warm up period (approximately 15 min.) is required to

Readjustment of vacuum sensor
NOTICE
The device was adjusted using factory standards, which
are traceable through regular calibration in an accredited
laboratory (DAkkS calibration laboratory) to the German
national pressure standard. Depending on the process
and/or accuracy requirements, check the adjustment and
readjust if necessary. For readjustment, the device has to
be adjusted both at atmospheric pressure as well as under vacuum but only if the reference pressures are known
with certainty. In the range between 15 to 525 Torr (20 to
700 mbar) no adjustment is possible.
Adjustment at atmospheric pressure
An adjustment at atmospheric pressure is only possible if
the pressure is higher than 525 Torr (700 mbar).
Vent the measurement connection of the vacuum sensor
(e.g., VACUU•SELECT Sensor) and/or the vacuum sys-
tem. Make sure that the measurement connection of the
vacuum sensor is at atmospheric pressure.
Note: To determine the actual atmospheric pressure,
use an accurate barometer or get accurate reading from
the weather service, or a nearby airport or other reliable
source (taking into account the difference in altitude between the source and the laboratory).
Adjustment under vacuum or at a reference pressure
An adjustment under vacuum is only possible if the pressure is lower than 15 Torr (20 mbar) absolute.
Evacuate the measurement connection of the vacuum
sensor to a pressure < 0.1 Torr (mbar) (e.g., by applying a
good two-stage rotary vane pump).
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 45
page 45 of 68
Note: Adjustment under vacuum with an actual pressure
higher than 0.1 Torr (mbar) reduces the accuracy of the
measurement. If the pressure is signicantly higher than
0.1 Torr (mbar), adjustment to a reference pressure is recommended.
Instead of adjustment under vacuum to a pressure < 0.1
Torr (mbar), adjustment to a precisely known reference
pressure within the range of 0..... 15 Torr (20 mbar) is
possible. Evacuate the measurement connection of the
vacuum sensor to a pressure within 0 ..... 15 Torr (0.....20
mbar).
Note: The accuracy of the value of the reference pressure
will directly affect the accuracy of the adjustment. If the
nominal ultimate vacuum of a diaphragm pump is used
as reference vacuum, the accuracy of the vacuum sensor
might be doubtful. The diaphragm pump may not achieve
the specied value (due to condensate, poor condition,
failure of valves or diaphragm, leaks).

Replacing diaphragms and valves
+ Please read section ”Replacing diaphragms and valves” com-
pletely before starting maintenance.
The pictures may show other versions of pumps. This does not change
the method of 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 two minutes 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.
+ Allow sufcient cooling of the pump before starting
maintenance.
+ Vent the pump and isolate it from the vacuum sys-
tem before you start maintenance.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 53
page 53 of 68
NOTICE
Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitably
trained and supervised technicians.
The valves and diaphragms 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 efcient to check
and clean the pump heads on a regular basis. In normal
use, the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is typically
15,000 operating hours.
- Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or
dust. The diaphragms and valves will be damaged if
liquid is pumped in signicant 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.

➨ Disassemble the housing cover (A) to check
the valves (C).
➨ Unscrew eight Allen screws with a 5mm
wide Allen key. Remove the housing cover
(A) together with head cover (D), valves (C)
and O-rings (B).
+ Never use a pointed or sharp-edged tool to remove parts (e.g., screw-
driver). We recommend to use a rubber mallet or compressed air (to
be blown carefully into port).
➨ Remove the head cover (D) carefully from the housing cover (A). Note
position and alignment of valves (C). Remove the valves.
+ Replace valves or O-rings if necessary.
+ Use petroleum ether or other industrial solvent to remove deposits. Do
not inhale vapors.
+ Underneath the pump there is a connecting tube (K) between the two
housing covers. The connecting tube is merely stuck into the housing
covers and sealed with seal rings at the connecting tube’s ends. If the
housing cover is removed, the connecting tube becomes detached as
well.
Replacing the diaphragm
+ Check diaphragm (F) for damage and re-
place if necessary.
➨ 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 (G) below the diaphragm.
➨ Unscrew diaphragm support disc (G) with diaphragm (F) and dia-
phragm clamping disc (E).
➨ Check for washers (H) between the diaphragm support disc (G) and
the connecting rod (I). Do not mix the washers from the different pump
heads, since these are set at the factory to ensure proper pump performance. Make sure that the original number is reassembled at the
individual pump head.
20901106_EN_MD4_MV2_VARIO_select_V1.0_140818
Page 56
page 56 of 68
+ Too few washers: The pump will not attain vacuum specication. Too
many washers: Diaphragm clamping disc will hit head cover, causing
noisy operation and possibly causing the pump to seize up.
+ If the old diaphragm is difcult to separate from the diaphragm support
disc, immerse assembly in naphtha or petroleum ether. Do not inhale
vapors!
F
➨ Position new diaphragm (F) between dia-
phragm clamping disc with square head
screw (E) and diaphragm support disc (G).
+ Note: This is a double diaphragm consist-
E
ing of two single diaphragms! Put the two
G
diaphragms together with the printed sides
outwards.
+ 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 diaphragm carefully together
with diaphragm clamping disc and diaphragm support disc in the diaphragm key.
+ Avoid damage of the diaphragm: Do not excessively bend or crease
the diaphragm.
+ Assemble the original number of washers
(H) between diaphragm support disc (G)
and connecting rod (I).
➨ Screw diaphragm clamping disc (E), dia-
E
F
phragm (F), diaphragm support disc (G),
and washers (H) to connecting rod (I).
➨ Optimum torque for the diaphragm support disc: 4.4 ft.lbf (6 Nm), it is
recommended to use a torque wrench. Attach torque wrench to diaphragm key (hexagonal bolt 6 mm wide).
Note: Never use the diaphragm key with any additional tools like tongs
or Allen keys without appropriate torque limitation.

Assembling the pump heads
➨ Bring the diaphragms (F) into a position, in
which they are in contact with the housing
(J) and centered with respect to the bore.
(K)
➨ Put on head covers (D).
+ Pay attention to the correct orientation of the
head covers: Align the nib at the head cover
(D) with the notch of the housing cover (A).
+ Make sure that the diaphragm stays cen-
(1)
tered with respect to the bore so that it will
become clamped uniformly between housing (J) and head cover (D).
➨ Put the valves (C) an O-rings (B) in place. See gure for the correct
position of the valves:
Inlet side of pump head: The valve tongue points at the kidney-shaped
orice in the valve seat (1).
Outlet side of pump head: The valve is oriented the same direction as
the valve at the inlet side.
➨ Put on housing cover (A).
+ If it is not possible to position the housing cover, check the head cov-
ers for correct orientation. The nib at the head cover has to lock into
the notch of the housing cover.
➨ Install the connecting tube (K) under the pump between the two housing
covers. Pay attention to the correct positions of the seal rings (replace
if damaged) in the grooves at the ends of the tube. Fit the connecting
tube in the bore of the housing cover. After assembly the connecting
tube may have some play.
➨ Screw in the Allen head screws at the head
covers diagonally at rst slightly with a 5
mm wide Allen key, then tighten.

Replace diaphragms and valves of the opposite side of
the pump in the same way!
Checking the ultimate vacuum
➨ After any intervention at the equipment (e.g., repair / maintenance)
the ultimate vacuum of the pump has to be checked. Only if the pump
achieves its specied ultimate vacuum, the pump’s leak rate is low
enough to ensure that no explosive atmospheres will occur in the interior of the equipment.
After any intervention at the vacuum sensor the leak rate of the equip-
ment has to be checked.
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 specied ultimate vacuum is not achieved, and if this does not
change after the break-in period:
If necessary recheck valve seats and pump chambers.
