If there is a chance that components installed downstream of the pump may block or reduce the
sample gas flow, it is necessary to install e.g. a pressure relief valve. This prevents the pressure
to exceed the maximum permitted operating value.
The bellows and valve plates are the only consumable parts of the pump. Wear is usually indi-
cated by a drastic reduction in the pneumatic performance. The valve plates need to be replaced,

When replacing parts, please have a look at chapter
Operating the pump
The following ambient conditions are necessary for operating the pump:
Ambient temperature range during operation: +10 to +50 °C / 0 to +50 °C for dry sample gas
(+50 °F to + 122 °F / +32 °F to + 122 °F for dry sample gas).
Operate the pump only in well ventilated rooms, and away from heat sources to prevent any heat
accumulation.
Please check immediately for damages, when the motor makes unusual running noises. Dam-
aged ball bearings could be the cause of these running noises.
Decommissioning
Before switching off the pump (decommissioning), the pump needs to be purged with inert gas or air.
Note
The room or area where the pump is installed in must be kept frost-free at
all times! The ambient temperature range is +10 to +50 °C / 0 to +50 °C
for dry sample gas (+50 °F to + 122 °F / +32 °F to + 122 °F for dry sample
gas) even after decommissioning the pump.
Aggressive condensate possible.
Chemical burns possible due to aggressive media!
For general electrical and mechanical work on the pump, wear personal
protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the risk assessment.
