3.2 Conforming use
The SOGEVAC® SV BI (FC) pumps are intended to be used on clean pro-
cesses, at low inlet pressure, e.g. for backing turbo molecular pumps (TMP)
in Analytical or R&D applications like mass spectrometers, electronic micro-
scopes, coating installations, etc.
In normal operation, the SOGEVAC® SV BI (FC) pumps operated typically
below 10 mbar inlet pressure or at ultimate pressure with open gas ballast
(for pumps having a gas ballast). Continuous duty is possible.
In the below listed abnormal conditions (but not limited to) the pump may
stop due to overheating of the power electronics or motor.
■
Continuous operation at high inlet pressure
■
Restricted, clogged or blocked exhaust filter or exhaust line
■
Out of tolerance supply voltage
■
Unsuitable, polluted or too old oil
■
Too low oil level
■
Too high ambient temperature
■
Clogged fan hoods or impeded fresh air circulation
The pump has been designed & tested to work in an normal EMC
environ ment in acc. to IEC 61326-1 Table 1.
Sogevac rotary vane pumps of the models SV40 BI FC / 65 BI FC / 120 BI FC
require a single phase power supply in the range of 200 … 240 V +- 10 %;
50 or 60 Hz.
The vacuum pumps are for professional use and have a rated power greater
than 1 kW. Thus they are not in the scope of the standard EN61000-3-2:2014
and KN 61000-3-2:2014.
Therefore, the connection to the mains must be permitted. According to local
regulations, the end user may need to contact his utility.
