Leak detector Vakumatik IVF R34
8. Starting up
Please ensure that the leak detector has been assembled and connected correctly as
detailed in section 7.
During evacuation, starting up and operation, harmful gases may leak from the
interstitial space via the pump's outlet (exhaust) opening. Do not inhale, ensure
sufficient ventilation.
8.1.
Evacuate the interstitial (monitoring) space
- For small interstitial spaces, the integrated vacuum pump may be used in order to generate
the vacuum.
- A suitable external vacuum pump can be used in order to evacuate a bigger interstitial
space more quickly.
- The leak detector will signal an alarm until the alarm switch-off point has been reached. The
red indicator lamp (1.2) goes out and the buzzer (1.18) switches off
(see diagram in section 6).
- The green power lamp (1.3) must always be on.
- The pump switches off automatically as soon as the pump switch-off value P
PA
is reached.
8.2.
Functional testing
It is the purpose of the functional testing to determine efficient functionality of the leak
detector. The testing must be performed by a qualified person:
- prior to starting up the leak detector
- once a year
- in the event of any operational defect or if the alarm signal is activated
without apparent reason
- In case of need, the hoses at the leak detector may only be disconnected when
they were previously sealed off with means of appropriate clamps. Otherwise the
disconnection may cause complete aeration of the interstitial space, which may
cause, for example, the flexible leak protection lining to disattach from the
interior tank wall and thus rendering the tank unusable.
- If it becomes necessary to open the leak detector housing for maintenance
purposes, the leak detector must be disconnected from the voltage supply first.
- After opening the housing, the motor / pump surface may still be at operating
temperature - caution very hot
- Loosen seal at the right side of the
service flap and open until it
interlocks.
