If the pump does not achieve the ultimate pressure:
☞
In case the diaphragms and valves have been replaced, a run-in period of several
hours is required before the pump achieves its ultimate vacuum.
If all pump heads achieve a vacuum below 90 mbar but pump does not achieve the
ultimate total pressure:
Check hose connectors between pump heads and manifolds for leaks. If necessary
recheck pump chamber.
Individual performance check of a pump head :
By measuring the pressure at the inlet port of the individual
head:
Use a suitable vacuum gauge (e. g. DVR 2, cat. no.: 682902),
make sure that it is correctly calibrated, and measure the pres-
sure at the inlet port. A vacuum of less than 110 mbar should
be indicated.
☞
If the reading is higher, recheck the pump chamber and make
sure that the valves and the diaphragms are correctly seated
(diaphragms concentric with bore).

Reassemble in reverse order.
➨
Install head cover (with O-ring if applicable), valves and hous-
ing cover.
☞
Make sure that the
valves are correctly seated
: Valves at
the outlet with round centred opening under valve, valves at
the inlet with kidney-shaped opening beside valve.
➨
By turning eccentric bushing, bring connecting rod into up-
per turning point position (Max. stroke of the rod).
☞
Pay attention that the diaphragm stays positioned centrally
so that it will become clamped uniformly between housing
and head cover.
➨
Screw in four socket head screws fixing housing cover cross-
wise (e. g. in the sequence
➀
,
➁
,

,

) first slightly, then
tighten.
☞
Do not tighten until head cover is in contact with housing,

➨
Use open-ended wrench to assemble screw-in fittings with
connection hoses to all pump heads.
