When handling contaminated parts, follow the relevant regula‑
tions and safety precautions.
Repairs are only to be carried out by the manufacturer’s Ser‑
vice Department.
Prior to any service, contamination from hazardous sub‑
stances needs to be excluded.
Please note that residual process media may pose a danger
to people and the environment. Take suitable decontamina‑
tion measures.
Before sending devices to our Service Department, you
must rst ll out a Health and Safety Clearance form, sign it
to conrm the information, and return it to us.

Depending on the process, an explosive mixture can
form in systems.
The control of critical processes must always be su‑
pervised!

Dangers due to electrical energy
After the controller has been switched off and disconnected from
the power supply, there may still be dangers at the plug‑in power
supply due to residual energy:
Replace the plug‑in power supply if there are any defects.
Never open the plug‑in power supply.
Service shipments
Devices which represent a potential safety hazard should be sent
in, maintained or repaired only if all hazardous contamination has
been removed.

Installation and potentially explosive atmospheres
The installation and operation of the operating panel in areas
where potentially explosive atmospheres can develop to a
hazardous degree is not permitted.
ATEX approval2 of vacuum sensors only applies to the internal,
wetted parts of the sensor, not to its surroundings.

approval
Prevent explosive
mixtures
Vacuum equipment labeled with ` has ATEX approval in line
with the ATEX marking on the rating plate.
Only use the product if it is in perfect working condition.
The devices are designed for a low level of mechanical
stress and must be installed in such a way that they cannot
sustain mechanical damage from the outside.
After any work on the device, check its leak rate.
When using the device on equipment with potentially explosive
atmospheres (according to ATEX approval), modications to the
device are not permitted and will invalidate the ATEX approval.
Wetted parts attached to the device must have ATEX approval
at least equivalent to that of the device itself, and must not ad‑
versely affect the ATEX approval of the device, in particular the
temperature in the wetted area.
The use of gas ballast and/or venting valves is only permitted if
this would not normally, or only rarely, cause explosive mixtures
within the device, or do so only for a short time.
If necessary vent with inert gas.

3.1 VACUU·SELECT® vacuum controller
Description of
vacuum controller
VACUU·SELECT® is a vacuum controller consisting of an
operating panel and an external vacuum sensor, e. g., the
VACUU·SELECT® Sensor.
The controller was developed for applications which require a
controlled vacuum. Various applications and menus are available
for operation and vacuum control. The controller is operated us‑
ing the touchscreen. The menus are designed to be user friendly.
Depending on the type of operation and peripheral devices con‑
nected, the controller regulates the process vacuum subject to
demand.
As a component of the VACUU·BUS® system, the controller offers
numerous connection options for a wide variety of applications.
Vacuum processes are controlled via vacuum pumps, in‑line so‑
lenoid valves and/or venting valves. If several valves of one type
are connected, they switch simultaneously, e.g., multiple venting
valves.
To control a vacuum, a minimum combination of the
controller, a vacuum sensor, valves and/or vacuum pumps
is needed.
If only the built‑in sensor is present, vacuum control is
not possible.

Two versions of the VACUU·SELECT® Sensor are available –
with or without venting valve.
The vacuum sensor with high chemical resistance is designed
for measurements in the rough vacuum range. There are three
options for the vacuum connection: small ange, hose nozzle or

3.3 VACUU·BUS® peripheral devices
External valves, level sensors and vacuum sensors (up to the ne
vacuum range) are components which can be connected via the
VACUU·BUS® directly to the controller.
VACUU·BUS® components can be easily added or removed at
any time via component detection. Component activation permits
the activation or deactivation of connected components.
VACUU·BUS components1 (clients)
Example
VACUU·BUS
principle
with different
components
When the controller is switched on, it checks the current con‑
guration. VACUU·BUS® components are automatically detected
and are used and monitored until the controller is switched off. If a
previously connected component is no longer found, the control‑
ler displays an error message.
In the case of the VACUU-SELECT®, all VACUU-BUS®
components can be individually activated or deactivated
without disconnecting the plug. The venting valve of a
VACUU-SELECT® Sensor can also be easily deactivated at
the controller.
