Shutdown
Short-term:
Has the pump been exposed to condensate?
Allow the pump to continue to run at atmospheric pressure for a few minutes.
Has the pump been exposed to media which may damage the pump materials or
form
deposits
?
Check and clean pump heads if necessary.
Long-term:
Take measures as described in section short-term shutdown.
Separate pump from the apparatus.
Close inlet and outlet port (e. g. with transport caps).
Store the pump in dry conditions.
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves
will be damaged, if liquids are pumped in significant amounts.
Check the pump regularly for external soiling and deposits, clean if necessary to
avoid an increase of the pump‘s operating temperature.
In case of excess temperature, the motor is shut down by a
thermal cutout
in the
winding. Attention: Reset possible only manually. Switch off the pump or isolate the
equipment from mains. Determine and eliminate the cause of failure. Wait approx.
five minutes before restarting the pump.
Attention
: In case of
supply voltage below 100V
, the lock of the cutout might be
restricted and the pump might restart on its own after sufficient cooling down. Take
suitable precautions, if an automatic restart of the pump might lead to a dangerous
situation.
A warm up period (approx. 15 min.) is required to ensure that the rated ultimate
vacuum and pumping speed are attained.
ME 4R NT:
Use the vacuum adjustment device at the inlet port of the pump to
control the vac-
uum
in the system. By turning the dispensing screw the amount of gases pumped
from the vacuum system can be controlled:
• Turning the dispensing screw to the left: vacuum is decreased (higher pressure)
(Pump additionally takes in bleed air via dispensing screw.)
• Turning the dispensing screw to the right: vacuum is increased (lower pressure)
The
overpressure
at the outlet port of the pump is controlled accordingly via the
pressure adjustment device:
• Turning the dispensing screw to the left: pressure is decreased (Pump blows off
via dispensing screw.)
• Turning the dispensing screw to the right: pressure is increased (
attention
: max.
4 bar permitted!)
