Positioning the pump
in the pumping installation
Positioning the pump
Determine where the pump will be placed.
Refer to the technical specification section for dimensions, if needed
(see
A 40
).
Use the handling devices to position the pump in the desired location
(see
B 10
).
Each pump is equipped with
four locking screw jacks.
Lock the pump by adjusting
these jacks so that all four feet
are resting solidly on the floor.
Pump performance will depend on the kind of accessories used and the
quality of the mechanical connections such as the pump fittings.
As these pumps are typically used in a corrosive atmosphere, their reliability
will depend on proper installation and maintenance. When assembling the
vacuum circuit, we recommend the installation of maintenance accessories
such as shut-off valves on the inlet and purge lines.
For safety reasons, use accessories on the inlet and exhaust lines whose
materials and sealing properties are compatible with the gases being used.
The pump must be operated in the horizontal position, with the pumping
axis vertical and the inlet opening upwards.
Risk of tilting: Even when compliance with EEC safety rules is guaranted
(normal range ± 10°), it is recommended to take precautions to reduce the
risk of tilting during product handling, installation and operation. Refer to
A 40
for location of the center of gravity.
