2.2 Unpacking and
Inspecting
Unpack the equipment immediately after receipt, even if
it is not to be put into operation until later.
Examine shipping cartons and packaging for signs of
external damage.
Remove the straps and lift off the packaging.
Keep the packaging for re-use in case it should become
necessary to return equipment to the factory.
Check the delivery for completeness (see Section 1.2)
and make a careful visual check.
If damage is detected, submit damage reports to the car-
rier and the insurer at once. If it is necessary to replace
damaged components, please contact Leybold for
instructions.
Warning
When lifting and setting down the compres-
sor unit do not reach under the edges of
the frame; the hands and feet could be
pinched. Do not stand under the suspend-
ed compressor unit while it is being moved.
Use a suitable device to lift the compressor unit out of the
base section of the packaging. Fasten this lifting device
at the M8 boreholes in the base plate; see Fig. 4.
The lifting equipment is not included with the compressor
unit. Use a lifting device with sufficient carrying capacity
(the unit weighs 105 kg (232 lbs) or more).
Caution
Do not use the piping or other components
to grasp or move the compressor unit.
When the compressor unit is being transported or is in
storage, it should be tilted by no more than 45
°
(danger
of tipping over) and a maximum of 15
°
during operation.
More severe angles could result in damage to the com-
pressor capsule or oil contamination in the helium circuit.
Check the pressure level indicated at the pressure gauge
attached to the compressor; see Section 4.1 for details.
If the pressure indicated is too low, top up with helium or
notify the Leybold Service Department.
2.3 Mounting
The compressor unit can be set up for operation at a tilt
of up to a maximum of 15
°
in any direction.
At severe angles block the compressor unit to keep it
from sliding. In areas subject to earthquake hazard,
fasten the compressor unit to the building. The fastening
should be able to withstand acceleration of 0.5 g in the
horizontal plane and 0.33 g in the vertical plane.
At the edges of the baseplate there are four mounting
holes. For the purpose of damping vibrations we recom-
mend the use of vibration-damping elements.
The installation location should be dry (max. relative
humidity of 90%) and free of dust.
The ambient temperature must lie between 5
°
C and
40
°
C (40
°
F and 105
°
F). Operation at lower temperatu-
res is possible if appropriate measures are taken;
please inquire of the manufacturer for details.
Protect the compressor unit against intense, direct sun-
light.
Warning
The RW 6000-1 is not equipped with a
safety guard (type of protection IP 21); it
must therefore be installed in a location
where it is protected against contact and
water.
