CAUTION
Danger of injury from bursting as a result of high pressure in the exhaust line
Faulty or inadequate exhaust pipes lead to dangerous situations, e.g. increased exhaust pressure.
There is a danger of bursting. Injuries caused by flying fragments, the escaping of high pressure, and
damage to the unit cannot be excluded.
► Route the exhaust line without shut-off units.
► Observe the permissible pressures and pressure differentials for the product.
► Check the function of the exhaust line on a regular basis.
Condensate separator
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends installing a condensate separator, with condensate drain at
the lowest point of the exhaust line.
Procedure
1. Check the installed silencer for free passage.
2. Choose a minimum exhaust line diameter equal to the nominal diameter of the connection flange.
3. Depending on the pump type, use PVC or metallic hoses with flange connections from the
4. Option: In case of higher gas throughputs, mount an exhaust line.
5. Route the piping downwards from the vacuum pump, to prevent condensate return.
6. Support or suspend the piping to the vacuum pump so that no piping system forces act on the
vacuum pump.
5.4 Establishing mains connection
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Contact with exposed and live elements generate an electric shock. Incorrect connection of the mains
supply leads to the risk of live housing parts that can be touched. There is a risk to life.
► Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
► Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
► Provide adequate grounding for the device.
► After connection work, do a PE conductor check.
NOTICE
Risk of property damage from excess voltage
Incorrect or excessive mains voltage will destroy the motor.
► Always observe the motor rating plate specifications.
► Route the mains connection in accordance with locally applicable provisions.
► Always provide a suitable mains fuse to protect the motor and supply cable in the event of a fault.
NOTICE
Property damage from the voltage range being set incorrectly
Recommissioning after longer downtimes of the vacuum pump or after changing the oil requires the
current settings to be checked.
► Before switching the vacuum pump on each time, check the currently set voltage range.
► Make changes to the voltage range only after the vacuum pump has been disconnected from the
mains.
