Installation
5.1 Installation location
Observe the following requirements when setting up the pump:
●
Consider the load-bearing capacity of the installation site.
●
Maximum installation altitude 2000 m (above mean sea level)
●
Permissible ambient temperature: +12 ... 40 °C
●
Maximum relative humidity 85%
The installation location is to be chosen so that pumping station components are freely
accessible for inspection and servicing.
– Note set-up conditions for the individual components.
Always place the pumping station on a firm, even surface.
– The base frame has four holes for anchoring onto the base.
Protect pumping station against air draughts and direct atmospheric exposure.
When installing the pump in a closed housing, ensure there is sufficient air circulation.
– Sight glass and gas ballast valve must be visible and readily accessible.
– Voltage and frequency information given on the motor rating plate must be visible.
Mobile pumping stations must be located on a horizontal surface and the locking roll-
ers secured.
5.2 Preparatory work
Before installing and commissioning the system, the installation location must be
equipped.
The pumping station is delivered mounted on a base frame and ready for connection. If
parts of the pumping station are dismantled for transport reasons, they must be re-
mounted according to the design drawing.
Fill pumping station components with operating fluids and lubricants;
– Quantity and type in accordance with the rating plate.
Remove protective cover from intake and exhaust flange.
Provide process-specific and pump-specific media supply and connect.
Ensure process-specific and pump-specific media disposal.
NOTICE
Use approved operating fluids only!
The use of operating fluids that have not been approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum shall result
in a limited warranty. In such cases, it is not possible to guarantee that product-specific
performance data will be achieved.
Prior consultation is required before using other application-specific operating fluids.
Ensure media supply!
Note information on supply and disposal of relevant media to be provided such as elec-
tricity, cooling water and inert gas.
