Checking the oil level (FAM-5-x-x-x-xx-R-x-x-x-x)
As a rule, the vacuum pump is not with filled oil when the FAM is delivered. A
quantity sufficient for the initial filling is included in the scope of delivery.
NOTICE
Operation without vacuum pump oil
The vacuum pump will be destroyed
►
The vacuum pump requires vacuum pump oil as its operating medium
►
Check the oil level before startup and every 6 months in case of
continuous operation. If required refill the vacuum pump oil or drain it.
For error-free operation, we
recommend a fill level centered
between the MIN and MAX
markings.
The level switch monitors the oil level of the vacuum pump when in
operation. If the level switch reaches its min/max switch point, the FAM
switches off and the appropriate fault message is displayed in the control
panel.
When in operation, the oil level can change due to air in oil,
heating or internal delay.
The MIN/MAX level on the sight glass does not accurately
correspond to to the min/max switch points of the level switch.
To fill/refill the vacuum pump, proceed as described on the page 113. For
draining, see chapter Emptying the vacuum pump on page 115.
Use the vacuum pump oil listed in the chapter "Spare parts" for refilling. This
oil has bee comprehensively tested and approved for utilization.
The maximum filling quantity for vacuum pump oil on the FAM-5 is approx.
0.3 liters.
