2.2 Unpacking and
inspecting
Unpack the equipment immediately after receipt, even if
it is not to be put into operation until later.
Examine shipping cartons and packaging for signs of
external damage.
Remove the straps, open the packaging, and lift the
compressor unit by the crane eyelets.
Warning
When lifting and setting down the compres-
sor unit do not reach under the edges of
the frame; the hands and feet could be
pinched. Do not stand under the suspend-
ed compressor unit while it is being moved.
Use only the crane eyelets for crane transport. Use the
handles for manoevering the unit in the rack.
Caution
Do not use the piping or other components
to lift or move the compressor unit.
When the compressor unit is being transported or is in
storage, it should be tilted by no more than 45
°
(danger
of tipping over) and a maximum of 10
°
during operation.
More severe angles could result in damage to the com-
pressor capsule or oil contamination in the helium circuit.
Check the pressure level indicated at the manometer
attached to the compressor; see Section 4.1 for details.
If the pressure indicated is too low, top up with helium or
notify the Leybold Service Department.
Keep the packaging for re-use in case it should become
necessary to return equipment to the factory.
Check the delivery for completeness (see Section 1.2)
and make a careful visual check.
If damage is detected, submit damage reports to the car-
rier and the insurer at once. If it is necessary to replace
damaged components, please contact Leybold for
instructions.
2.3 Mounting
The compressor unit can be set up for operation at a tilt
of up to a maximum of 10
°
in any direction.
At severe angles block the compressor unit to keep it
from sliding. In areas subject to earthquake hazard,
fasten the compressor unit to the building. The fastening
should be able to withstand acceleration of 0.5 g in the
horizontal plane and 0.33 g in the vertical plane.
In the baseplate there are mounting holes. For the pur-
pose of damping vibrations we recommend the use of
vibration-damping elements.
The unit is prepared for installation in a 19“ rack.
The installation site should be dust-free. Protect the
compressor unit against strong sunlight.
The crane eyelets can be unscrewed. Remove the eye
screws at the front and replace with the M8x10 counter-
sunk screws provided. Retain the eye screws for future
use.
