Installation
11
Choose the cross-section of the exhaust line to be at least the size of the nominal
connection diameter of the vacuum pump's exhaust connection.
Piping to the pump must be suspended or supported.
– Physical forces from the piping system must not be allowed to act on vacuum
pumps.
Lay piping from the pump sloping downward so that no condensate can flow back into
the pump; otherwise fit a condensate separator.
– If an air trap is created in the system, then a device for draining condensation water
must be provided at the lowest point.
5.4 Connecting to the mains power supply
Depending on the pump type, different motor versions or mains voltages are possible:
●
Single phase motor for fixed voltage with a built-in thermal protection switch, mains
switch and connecting cable.
●
Single phase motor with switchable broad range voltage motor with a built-in thermal
protection switch and mains connection socket.
●
Three phase motor (without switch and mains cable).
WARNING
Emission of toxic substances from the exhaust!
Danger of poisoning from emitted gases or vapours, which can be detrimental to health
and/or can pollute the environment, depending on the particular application.
Comply with the applicable regulations when working with toxic substances.
Only officially approved filter systems may be used to separate and remove these
substances.
DANGER
Voltage-bearing elements
Danger to life from electric shock.
The electrical connection can be carried out only by trained and authorised electrici-
ans.
Disconnect the power supply and secure it against being switched back on.
Ensure the system is adequately earthed.
WARNING
Danger of injury from moving parts!
After power failure or motor shutdown due to overheating, the motor may restart auto-
matically.
Secure the motor so that it cannot be switched on while any work is being performed
on the pump.
If necessary, dismantle the pump from the installation for inspection.
NOTICE
Excess voltage!
Danger of destroying the motor.
Power connections must comply with local regulations. Voltage and frequency infor-
mation given on the motor rating plate must correspond to the mains voltage and fre-
quency values.
To protect the motor and supply cable in case of malfunction, mains fuse protection
must be implemented.
