Important Information
1.1
General Information
The Laboratory-Vacuum-Systems conform to the:
2006 / 42 / EC
Machinery Directive
2014 / 30 / E
U
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
2014 / 34 / EU
ATEX Guideline for use in potentially explosive atmospheres,
Appendix III
The CE sign is located on the rating plate. Observe the binding national and local regulations
when fitting the pump into installations.
Our products are sold worldwide and can therefore be equipped with the typical national
plugs and for the various voltages. You will find more information about the available pump
designs on our web page in the internet.
1.2
Target Groups
This Operating Manual is intended for the personnel planning, operating and maintaining
Laboratory-Vacuum-Systems. This group of people includes:
Designers and fitters of vacuum apparatus,
Employees working on commercial laboratory and industrial vacuum technology applica-
tions and
Service personnel for laboratory-vacuum-systems.
The personnel operating and maintaining the laboratory vacuum systems must have the
technical competence required to perform the work that has to be done.
The user must authorize the operating personnel to do the work that has to be done.
The personnel must have read and understood the complete Operating Manual before using
the laboratory-vacuum-systems.
The Operating Manual must be kept at the place of use and be available to the personnel
when required.
1.3
Intended Use
The laboratory-vacuum-system may only be operated under the conditions stated
–
in the "Technical Data" section,
–
on the type plate, and
–
in the technical specification for the order concerned.
Laboratory-vacuum-systems are approved for extracting, pumping and compressing
gases and vapours. If these gases and vapours are toxic or explosive, then the user must
observe the currently valid safety regulations for this application. Special types of dia-
phragm pumps are available for aggressive and explosive gas mixtures.
Laboratory-vacuum-systems are intended for generating vacuums with ultimate pres-
sures of around 8 mbar.
The in-built diaphragm pump has been designed to have high resistance to aggressive
gases.
1.4
Use for an Unauthorized Purpose
It is forbidden to use the pump for applications deviating from the technical data stated on
the type plate or the conditions stated in the supply contract, or to operate it with missing or
defective protective devices.
