5.3 Installing the vacuum generator
Make sure that no dirt particles enter the suction or compressed air line during
mounting.
5.3.1 Vacuum pump
Install the vacuum pump as described in the separate operating instructions
.
To ensure safe
installation (with cranes), we recommend that you use a console for electrical vacuum
generators.
Position the motor-protection switch so that it can be easily reached in order to switch the unit on and
off (it may be installed in the crane column).
After installation is completed, the system must be checked for leaks
(see chapter on maintenance).
Procedure:
1. Establish the electrical connection of the pump according to VDE guidelines.
2. Observe the voltage specified on the type plate of the pump.
3. Make sure to install a disconnecting switch and the appropriate fuse.
ATTENTION
Incorrectly connected operating voltage
Material damage to the blower
►
Only operate the blower with the operating voltages specified in the operating
instructions supplied (for the blower).
Before the start of operations, it is crucial to check that the rotational direction of
the blower corresponds to the direction stated in the separate operating
instructions for the blower.
5.3.1.1 Checking the direction of rotation
Only applies to model with electrical vacuum generation
– check the direction of rotation of the
motor as follows:
1. Switch on the pump.
2.
Watch the motor’s fan blade. It must turn in the direction shown by the arrow on the motor housing.
3. The device is delivered with a clockwise rotation field. If the direction of rotation is incorrect, switch
it off immediately and reverse the connection in the supply line. Check the direction of rotation once
again.
