Safety information
2.4.4 2.4.4 Eliminate sources of dangerEliminate sources of danger
Take mechanical stability into account
Note mechanical
load capacity
Due to the high compression ratio of the pump, pressure can de‑
velop at the outlet which exceeds that which the mechanical sta‑
bility of the system allows.
> Always ensure that the exhaust gas line is clear and non‑pres‑
surized. To ensure unhindered emission of gases, the outlet
should not be blocked.
> Prevent uncontrolled overpressure, for example, due to a
locked or blocked piping system, condensate or clogged
exhaust gas line.
> At the gas connections, the connections for the inlet
outlet
EXEX should not be mixed up.
ININ and
> Be aware of the max. pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump
as well as the max. admissible differential pressure between the
inlet and outlet, according to
8.1.1 Technical data on page 748.1.1 Technical data on page 74
> The system to be evacuated as well as all hose connections
must be mechanically stable.
Prevent backup in
the exhaust gas line
> Fix coolant hoses to the hose nozzles such that they cannot
inadvertently become loose.
Prevent condensate reow
Condensate can damage the pump head. No condensate should
ow back into the outlet
EXEX and pump head due to the hose line.
No liquid should accumulate inside the exhaust hose.
> Avoid condensate return by using a separator. No condensate
must enter the housing interior via the vacuum hoses.
> Preferably lay the exhaust gas hose such that it descends
from the outlet; that is, position it running downward so that no
backup forms.

measurements
Observe vacuum
pump dimensioning
Incorrect measurement due to an obstructed vacuum line, e. g.,
condensate in the vacuum line can distort the measurements of
the vacuum sensor.
> Prevent overpressure > 1060 mbar (795 Torr) inside the suc‑
tion line.
Avoid foreign bodies inside the pump
Part ic les, liqui ds and du sts shou ld not get insi de the va cuum pump.
> Do not pump any substances which could form deposits
inside the vacuum pump.
> Install suitable separators and/or lters in front of the inlet.
Suitable lters are, e. g, chemically resistant, clog‑proof and
have a reliable ow rate.
> Immediately replace porous vacuum hoses.
Be aware of risks
during venting
Possible
residual energies
Risks during venting
Depending on the application, venting can cause explosive mix‑
tures to form or other hazardous situations to arise.
Risks due to residual energy
After the device has been switched off and disconnected from the
power supply, there may still be dangers at the plug‑in power sup‑
ply due to residual energy:
■ Thermal energy: Motor waste heat, hot surface, compression
heat.
> Allow the vacuum pump to cool off.
■ Electrical energy: In capacitors on the electronics, they have a
discharge time of up to 3 minutes.
> Wait for at least 3 minutes until capacitors have discharged.

Initial use (operation)
5.2.2 5.2.2 Operation with gas ballastOperation with gas ballast
Meaning
The provision of gas ballast (= addition of gas) ensures that vapors
do not condense inside the vacuum pump but are instead ejected
from the pump. This makes it possible to pump larger amounts of
condensable vapors and service lives are prolonged. The ultimate
vacuum with gas ballast is slightly higher.
Open/close gas ballast valve
IMPORTANT!
ON
OFF
> Turn the black gas ballast cap in any direction to open or
close the gas ballast valve.
> Evacuate condensable vapors, e. g., water vapor, solvents,
etc. preferably only with the vacuum pump at operating tem‑
perature and with the gas ballast valve open.
> Connect inert gas as a gas ballast, if necessary, to exclude
the formation of explosive mixtures.
> Observe the admissible pressure at the gas ballast connec‑
tion, max. 1.2 bar/900 Torr abs.
If the gas volume in the vacuum pump is low, a gas ballast
can, where appropriate, be eliminated in these cases in
order to increase the solvent recovery rate.
