Pump operation
Pump start-up
Pumping of
condensable vapours
Pump is equipped with a main power switch. The pump starts up
when the power line cord is connected, and main switch is on "1"
position.
A time counter displays the pump running time in hour.
Avoid sudden changes in ambient temperature when the pump is
running.
Neutral gaz purging is imperative for the pumping of corrosive gas
traces.
The pumps
are designed so as not to present a thermal risk for the
user's safety. However, specific operating conditions can generate
temperatures which require particular care to be taken by the user
, (external surfaces > 70°C).
In order to better handle condensable vapours, it is necessary to
pump with a hot pump. It is recommended to isolate the pump from
the installation and let the pump run for at least
1
hour, with gas
ballast opened.
Then open the isolation valve, the pump will operate in optimized
conditions, thus reducing the risk of condensation inside the
pumping module.
Operation of gas ballast • Knob screwed: gas ballast
closed.
• Knob unscrewed: gas ballast
opened.
Pump stop
Before switching off, isolate the pump from the installation and let
it run for 1 hour with gas ballast opened.
Put the main switch on «0» position or press the circuit breaker of
the customer's installation.
