Safety information!
Remove all packing material, remove the product from its packing-box, remove the
protective covers and keep, inspect the equipment.
If the equipment is damaged, notify the supplier and the carrier in writing within three
days; state the item number of the product together with the order number and the
supplier’s invoice number. Retain all packing material for inspection.
Do not use the equipment if it is damaged.
If the equipment is not used immediately, replace the protective covers. Store the
equipment in suitable conditions.
☞
Read and obey this manual before installing or operating the equipment.
Use the equipment for the intended use only (for measurement and control of vacuum).
Operate the controller only in combination with VACUUBRAND genuine accessories (e.
g. isolation valve, vacuum management module VMS A). Make sure that the individual
components are only connected, combined and operated according to their design and
as indicated in the instructions for use.
☞
Obey notes on correct vacuum and electrical connections, see section ”Use and
operation”.
☞
Make sure that the individual components are only connected, combined and oper-
ated according to their design and as indicated in the instructions for use.
Obey
national safety regulations and safety requirements
concerning the use of
vacuum and electrical equipment.
☞
Equipment must be connected only to a suitable fused and protected electrical
supply and a suitable earth point. Failure to connect the device to ground may result
in deadly electrical shock.
☞
The supply cable may be fitted with a moulded European IEC plug or a plug suitable
for your local electrical supply. If the plug has been removed or has to be removed,
the cable will contain wires colour coded as follows: green or green and yellow:
earth; blue or white: neutral; brown or black: live.
☞
Check that mains voltage and current conform with the equipment (see rating plate).
☞
If the equipment is brought from cold environment into a room for operation, allow
the equipment to warm up (pay attention to water condensation on cold surfaces).
☞
Make sure ventilation is adequate if the equipment is installed in a housing or if
ambient temperature is elevated.
☞
The controller is equipped with a short circuit proof transformer with an integrated
overload protection (no fuses).
Obey all
relevant safety requirements
(regulations and guidelines) and adopt suitable
safety measures.
☞
Max. permitted pressure at the controller: 1,6 bar (absolute).
To the best of our knowledge the equipment is in compliance with the requirements of
the applicable EC-directives and harmonized standards with regard to design, type and
model, especially directive IEC 1010. This directive gives in detail conditions, under
which the equipment can be operated safely (see also IP degree of protection).
☞
Adopt suitable measures in case of differences, e. g. using the equipment outdoors,
installation in altitudes of more than 1000 m above mean sea level, conductive
pollution or dewiness.
Do not permit any
uncontrolled pressurizing
(e. g. make sure that system pipelines
cannot become blocked).
☞
Avoid overpressure of more than 0.2 bar in case inert gas is connected.
