Troubleshooting
1. Vacuum pump is switched off by motor circuit breaker:
Cause
Remedy
Mains voltage / frequency does not match the motor
data.
Adjust the mains network.
Connection to motor terminal board or to plug is
incorrect.
Check the connection or plug connection.
Motor circuit breaker is not set correctly.
Check the setting of the motor circuit breaker.
Motor circuit breaker is triggered too fast.
Use a motor circuit breaker with a load-dependent
switch-on delay time that takes into account the short-
time overcurrent at startup (version with short-circuit
and overload trigger in accordance with VDE 0660 Part 2
and IEC 947-4).
Vacuum pump or its oil is too cold.
Check it again at operating temperature.
The lubrication oil has too high viscosity.
Change the lubrication oil.
The air de-oiling element is contaminated.
Replace the air de-oiling element.
The counterpressure for conveying away the vacuum
exhaust air is too high.
Optimize the air removal.
2. The suction power is insufficient:
Cause
Remedy
The suction filter is contaminated.
Clean or replace the suction filter.
The suction pipe is too long or too narrow.
Use a larger pipe cross-section, remove bottlenecks.
Leak in the pump or in the system.
Check the pump and the pipes for pressure loss.
3.Final pressure (max. vacuum) is not reached:
Cause
Remedy
Leak on the suction side of the vacuum pump or in the
system.
Check the pump and the pipes for pressure loss.
Incorrect oil viscosity.
Change the oil.
4. Vacuum pump becomes too hot:
Cause
Remedy
The ambient temperature or suction temperature is too
high.
The ambient temperature must be min. 12 °C and max.
40 °C, and the suction temperature must be between
5 °C and 40 °C.
The cool air flow is impeded.
The cool air inlets and cool air outlets must have at least
a 20 cm gap to the next wall. (Emerging cooling air
must not be sucked back in again.)
The lubrication oil has too high viscosity.
Change the lubrication oil.
The air de-oiling element is contaminated.
Replace the air de-oiling element.
The counterpressure for conveying away the vacuum
exhaust air is too high.
Optimize the air removal.
