12 INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
When installing the pump make certain that accident prevention regulations and safety instructions in-
cluding those for subsequent operation are observed. The safety instructions in chapter 3 must be ob-
served.
Note
Observe the relevant safety regulations for the pumped media.
To avoid disturbing heat accumulation, the pump should be installed away
from heat sources and freely ventilated.
When installed outdoors, the pump must be installed in a protective hous-
ing, frost-free in winter and sufficiently ventilated in summer. Direct sun-
light should be avoided.
T
Note
Pumps contain mechanical moving parts that can cause vibrations. In or-
der to avoid damage to the pump and peripheral components/equipment,
as well as to limit the acoustic noise development to a minimum, a suitable
vibration decoupling must be provided. M&C can supply anti-vibration pad
for this purpose.
This also applies explicitly to the connection of the sample gas lines to the
pump head.
MOUNTING THE PUMP
Only install and operate the pumps under the pneumatic operating parameters and conditions described
in chapter 9. Observe the safety instructions in chapter 3.
Note
Before installation, store the pump at the installation location to bring it
up to ambient temperature.
Refer to Figure 5 for mounting dimensions.
Warning
Danger of burns from hot surfaces
Hot surfaces may be caused by overheating of the pump.
Install the pump so that the motor fan can intake sufficient cooling
air.
Mount the pumps in such a way that their fan blade can draw in sufficient cooling air.
Mount the pumps at the highest point in the system and/or with the pump head facing downward to
prevent condensate from accumulating in the pump head - this will increase the operating time.
When installing, make sure that there are no combustible or thermally malleable objects placed in the
immediate ambient of the hot pump parts (head, motor).
Make sure that the installation location is dry, and the pump is protected against sun, rain, splash,
hose and drip water as well as other pollutions.
