Product Description
Use
The vacuum pump is intended for
−the suction
of
−mixtures of dry, non-aggressive and non-toxic gases and/or
dust according to the identification on the nameplate of the
vacuum pump (explanation see below).
Conveying media with a lower or higher density than air leads to an
increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the vacuum pump and
is permissible only after prior consultation with Busch.
Max. allowed temperature of the inlet gas: 40 °C
According to the directive 2014/34/EU (“ATEX 2014”) the
vacuum pump is made for the intended use in potentially
explosive areas according to the data given on the nameplate
of the vacuum pump and on the data given on the nameplate of
the drive motor.
This requires a separate consideration of the conveyed gas/air or
dust/air mixtures on the one side and the environment of the vacuum
pump on the other. On the nameplate of the vacuum pump the
classification with regard to the conveyed gas/air or dust/air mixtures
is marked with an “inside”, while the classification with regard to the
environment is marked with an “outside”. The classification of the
motor always refers to the environment.
In case Busch delivered the vacuum pump/ compressor without
drive motor or a replacement motor is to be mounted or for
economic reasons the vacuum pump was equipped with a simpler
motor, the following must be observed:
In case the classifications of the vacuum pump and of the drive
motor are different the inferior classification is relevant. This
means also that the vacuum pump is suitable for the placement
in a potentially explosive environment only if both the vacuum
pump, the coupling and the drive motor are approved to the
required extent for use in potentially explosive areas.
Depending on the version the approval is valid only together
with certain standard or optional components, or is limited by
the use of certain optional components, as described below
and in the chapter Operational Options / Use of Optionally
Available Equipment (➔ page 4).
The classification on the vacuum pump is to be read as follows
(interpretations of equipment categories and zones for information
only; the relevant laws, directives and standards are literally binding;
for temperature classes and explosion groups see E. Brandes,
W. Möller “Sicherheitstechnische Kenngrößen, Band 1: Brennbare

qualified ATEX-drive motor is required
The vacuum pump is equipped with pressure relief lines (r) between
the pump stage and the gas discharge (q). The pressure relief lines
and shaft seal rings safeguard that no process gases will escape
into the environment of the vacuum pump.
The proper function of the vacuum pump requires ambient pressure
+/-200* hPa (=mbar) to be present at the gas discharge (q) at any
operating point.
*unless specified otherwise on the nameplate of the vacuum pump.
The pressure switch/indicator (optional) is to be integrated into the
system control such that the maintenance of the permitted pressure
range will be monitored. If the pressure gets outside this range the
system control must automatically shut down the vacuum pump.
Standard-version:
The gas shall be free from vapours that would condensate under
the temperature and pressure conditions inside the vacuum
pump.
Version “Aqua”:
The vacuum pump features the corrosion protection coating
CPC and is capable of conveying water vapour (➔ page 12:
Conveying Condensable Vapours). Conveyance of other
vapours shall be agreed upon with Busch. Conveyance of water
or other liquids in liquid phase increases the power consumption
and shall therefore be avoided (risk of drive overload).
The vacuum pump is thermally suitable for continuous operation
(100 percent duty).
Max. permissible number of startings per hour: 12
The vacuum pump is ultimate pressure proof.
The minimum allowed intake pressure is to be read from the
nameplate of the vacuum pump. By means of process control it must
be made sure that the minimum allowed intake pressure will not be
underrun. Under very restricted conditions (➔ page 4: Operation
with Vacuum Relief Valve / Ambient Air Valve) the use of a vacuum
relief valve (optional) with inlet air filter and equipotential bonding (if
required) is permitted.
The vacuum pump is not absolutely gas tight. In case of conveying
air in new conditions of the vacuum pump the leakage rate amounts
to 0.1 hPa l/s at 250 mbar suction pressure. Due to illegal pressures
at the gas connections, worn shaft seal rings or clogged pressure
relief lines this leakage rate can rise considerably. Make sure that
the installation space or location is vented such that in case of
conveying media which are dangerous to health no impermissible
accumulation of conveyed media in the environment of the vacuum
pump will occur. The installation space or location must be vented
sufficiently.
The approval for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is
valid for the vacuum pump together with the described
measurement and safety equipment. The approval is void if the
system is altered or if the scheduled maintenance is not
complied with. Maintenance must be performed by specifically
instructed personnel only.
Safety Concept
Version with temperature monitoring:
The safety concept is based on the prevention of excessive
temperatures by means of a gas temperature sensor in the
vicinity of the stage gas outlet (=zone of highest temperature)
together with various other measures to prevent sparks. The
temperature sensor must be integrated into the system control
such that operation of the vacuum pump will safely be inhibited if
the shutdown temperature (see nameplate) is exceeded.
Version with pressure monitoring at the gas outlet (optional):
In order to ensure the gas tightness the pressure at the gas
outlet is monitored. The pressure switch/indicator must be
integrated into the system control such that the vacuum pump
will be switched off if the pressure gets outside the range from -
200 mbarg* to +200 mbarg.
*unless specified otherwise on the nameplate of the vacuum
pump.
Operational Options / Use of
Optionally Available Equipment
Operation with varying speed, i.e. with a frequency inverter is
permitted, provided that the drive motor is approved for frequency
inverter operation and the allowed speed range is given on the
nameplate of the vacuum pump.
The system control must be designed such that no speed outside
the permissible range can be set.
Operation with Vacuum Relief Valve /
Ambient Air Valve
All vacuum pumps the pressure of which according to the nameplate
is 60 hPa (mbar), as well as vacuum pumps type MM 1104 version
“Aqua” and MM 1144 version “Aqua” the pressure of which
according to the nameplate is 100 hPa (mbar) are ultimate pressure
proof, i.e. may be operated against a closed suction connection. For
all other vacuum pumps operation without gas transfer would lead to
excessive temperatures and is hence not permitted.
In case the pressure control in the suction side of the system cannot
be achieved by means of process control or by controlling the drive
motor, the pressure needs to be controlled by means of a vacuum
relief valve (optional).
For the version “Aqua” it can be necessary to dry the vacuum pump
after process end by means of conveying ambient air (➔ page 12:
Conveying Condensable Vapours).
However, if vacuum relief valves/ ambient air valves are used the
following must be observed:

MM 1104, 1144, 1102, 1142 B V ATEX-Version, Gas Tight
0870141675 / 190709
page 5
Apart from this:
Aspiration of ambient air from a zone 1 or a zone 2 (potentially
explosive gas atmospheres) is permitted only if the vacuum pump is
approved for the conveyance of these gases. It is recommended to
install an ATEX-air filter (with equipotential bonding) upstream the
vacuum relief valve/ ambient air valve.
Aspiration of ambient air from a zone 21 or a zone 22 (potentially
explosive dust/air atmospheres) is permitted only if an ATEX-air filter
(with equipotential bonding) is installed upstream the vacuum relief
valve/ ambient air valve.
Aspiration of ambient air from areas not classified as potentially
explosive is permitted. It is recommended to install an air filter
upstream the vacuum relief valve/ ambient air valve.
Principle of Operation
The vacuum pump works on the claw principle.
The components are dimensioned such, that on the one hand there
is never contact between the two claws or between a claw and the
cylinder, on the other hand the gaps are small enough to keep the
clearance loss between the chambers low.
In order to avoid the suction of solids, the vacuum pump is equipped
with a screen in the suction connection.
In order to avoid reverse rotation after switching off, the vacuum
pump is equipped with a non-return valve (v).
The vacuum pump compresses the inlet gas absolutely oil-free. A
lubrication of the pump chamber is neither necessary nor allowed.
Cooling
The vacuum pump is cooled by
−radiation of heat from the surface of the vacuum pump
−the air flow from the fan wheel of the drive motor
−the process gas
−the air flow from the fan wheel on the shaft of the vacuum
pump
Start Controls
The vacuum pump comes without start controls. The control of the
vacuum pump is to be provided in the course of installation.
Safety
Intended Use
Definition: For the purpose of these instructions, “handling” the
vacuum pump means the transport, storage, installation,
commissioning, influence on operating conditions, maintenance,
troubleshooting and overhaul of the vacuum.
The vacuum pump is intended for industrial use. It shall be handled
only by qualified personnel.
The allowed media and operational limits (➔➔➔➔
page 3: Product
Description) and the installation prerequisites (➔➔➔➔
page 6:
Installation Prerequisites) of the vacuum pump shall be
observed both by the manufacturer of the machinery into which
the vacuum pump is to be incorporated and by the operator.
The maintenance instructions shall be observed.
In particular the intended use in potentially explosive areas, i.e.
either inside the vacuum pump or in its adjacency potentially
explosive atmosphere can occur, requires that the vacuum pump is
equipped accordingly and carries the Ex-mark and that the
associated documentation acc. to the directive 2014/34/EU is
available.
Prior to handling the vacuum pump these installation and
operating instructions shall be read and understood. If
anything remains to be clarified please contact your Busch
representative!
Safety Notes
The vacuum pump has been designed and manufactured according
to state-of-the-art methods. Nevertheless, residual risks may
remain. These operating instructions highlight potential hazards
where appropriate. Safety notes are tagged with one of the
keywords DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION as follows:
Noise Emission
For the sound pressure level in free field according to EN ISO 2151
➔page 55: Technical Data.
WARNING
By means of the vacuum relief valve/ ambient air valve the
process gas gets usually mixed with ambient air, with the
mixing ratio depending on the current working pressure of
the vacuum pump.
For certain process gases the mixing with air increases the
explosion risk because of the oxygen contained herein.
So the vacuum relief valve/ ambient air valve must be
considered when the zone inside the vacuum pump is
being established.
If the mixing of process gas and ambient air created an
illegal zone inside the vacuum pump, feeding of ambient air
would not be allowed. In this case an inert dry gas must be
fed.
DANGER
Disregard of this safety note will always lead to accidents
with fatal or serious injuries.
WARNING
Disregard of this safety note may lead to accidents with
fatal or serious injuries.
CAUTION
Disregard of this safety note may lead to accidents with minor
injuries or property damage.
CAUTION
The vacuum pump emits noise of high intensity in a narrow
band.
Risk of damage to the hearing.
Persons staying in the vicinity of a non noise insulated vacuum
pump over extended periods shall wear ear protection.

Storage
Short-term Storage
•Make sure that the suction connection and the gas discharge
are closed (leave the provided plugs in)
•Store the vacuum pump
−If possible in original packaging,
−indoors,
−dry,
−dust free and
−vibration free.
Conservation
In case of adverse ambient conditions (e.g. aggressive atmosphere,
frequent temperature changes) conserve the vacuum pump
immediately. In case of favourable ambient conditions conserve the
vacuum pump if a storage of more than 3 months is scheduled.
•Make sure that all ports are firmly closed; seal all ports that are
not sealed with PTFE-tape, gaskets or o-rings with adhesive
tape
Note: VCI stands for “volatile corrosion inhibitor”. VCI-products (film,
paper, cardboard, foam) evaporate a substance that condenses in
molecular thickness on the packed good and by its electro-chemical
properties effectively suppresses corrosion on metallic surfaces.
However, VCI-products may attack the surfaces of plastics and
elastomers. Seek advice from your local packaging dealer! Busch
uses CORTEC VCI 126 R film for the overseas packaging of large
equipment.

Operating Notes
Use
The vacuum pump is intended for
−the suction
of
−mixtures of dry, non-aggressive and non-toxic gases and/or
dust according to the identification on the nameplate of the
vacuum pump (explanation see below).
Conveying media with a lower or higher density than air leads to an
increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the vacuum pump and
is permissible only after prior consultation with Busch.
Max. allowed temperature of the inlet gas: 40 °C
According to the directive 2014/34/EU (“ATEX 2014”) the
vacuum pump is made for the intended use in potentially
explosive areas according to the data given on the nameplate of
the vacuum pump and on the data given on the nameplate of
the drive motor.
This requires a separate consideration of the conveyed gas/air or
dust/air mixtures on the one side and the environment of the vacuum
pump on the other. On the nameplate of the vacuum pump the
classification with regard to the conveyed gas/air or dust/air mixtures
is marked with an “inside”, while the classification with regard to the
environment is marked with an “outside”. The classification of the
motor always refers to the environment.
In case Busch delivered the vacuum pump/ compressor without
drive motor or a replacement motor is to be mounted or for
economic reasons the vacuum pump was equipped with a simpler
motor, the following must be observed:
In case the classifications of the vacuum pump and of the drive
motor are different the inferior classification is relevant. This
means also that the vacuum pump is suitable for the placement
in a potentially explosive environment only if both the vacuum
pump, the coupling and the drive motor are approved to the
required extent for use in potentially explosive areas.
Depending on the version the approval is valid only together
with certain standard or optional components, or is limited by
the use of certain optional components, as described below
and in the chapter Operational Options / Use of Optionally
Available Equipment (➔ page 4).
The classification on the vacuum pump is to be read as follows
(interpretations of equipment categories and zones for information
only; the relevant laws, directives and standards are literally binding;
for temperature classes and explosion groups see E. Brandes,
W. Möller “Sicherheitstechnische Kenngrößen, Band 1: Brennbare

WARNING
Operating a faulty vacuum pump puts the explosion safety
at risk.
Risk of explosion!
The vacuum pump must only be operated in faultless
condition. A faulty vacuum pump must immediately be
removed from service.
WARNING
The vacuum pump is designed for operation under the
conditions described below.
In case of disregard risk of explosion!
The vacuum pump must only be operated under the

The vacuum pump is equipped with pressure relief lines (r) between
the pump stage and the gas discharge (q). The pressure relief lines
and shaft seal rings safeguard that no process gases will escape
into the environment of the vacuum pump.
The proper function of the vacuum pump requires ambient pressure
+/-200* hPa (=mbar) to be present at the gas discharge (q) at any
operating point.
*unless specified otherwise on the nameplate of the vacuum pump.
The pressure switch/indicator (optional) is to be integrated into the
system control such that the maintenance of the permitted pressure
range will be monitored. If the pressure gets outside this range the
system control must automatically shut down the vacuum pump.
Standard-version:
The gas shall be free from vapours that would condensate under
the temperature and pressure conditions inside the vacuum
pump.
Version “Aqua”:
The vacuum pump features the corrosion protection coating
CPC and is capable of conveying water vapour (➔ page 12:
Conveying Condensable Vapours). Conveyance of other
vapours shall be agreed upon with Busch. Conveyance of water
or other liquids in liquid phase increases the power consumption
and shall therefore be avoided (risk of drive overload).
The vacuum pump is thermally suitable for continuous operation
(100 percent duty).
Max. permissible number of startings per hour: 12
The vacuum pump is ultimate pressure proof.
The minimum allowed intake pressure is to be read from the
nameplate of the vacuum pump. By means of process control it must
be made sure that the minimum allowed intake pressure will not be
underrun. Under very restricted conditions (➔ page 4: Operation
with Vacuum Relief Valve / Ambient Air Valve) the use of a vacuum
relief valve (optional) with inlet air filter and equipotential bonding (if
required) is permitted.
The vacuum pump is not absolutely gas tight. In case of conveying
air in new conditions of the vacuum pump the leakage rate amounts
to 0.1 hPa l/s at 250 mbar suction pressure. Due to illegal pressures
at the gas connections, worn shaft seal rings or clogged pressure
relief lines this leakage rate can rise considerably. Make sure that
the installation space or location is vented such that in case of
conveying media which are dangerous to health no impermissible
accumulation of conveyed media in the environment of the vacuum
pump will occur. The installation space or location must be vented
sufficiently.
The approval for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is
valid for the vacuum pump together with the described
measurement and safety equipment. The approval is void if the
system is altered or if the scheduled maintenance is not
complied with. Maintenance must be performed by specifically
instructed personnel only.
•Make sure that all provided covers, guards, hoods etc. remain
mounted
•Make sure that protective devices will not be disabled
•Make sure that cooling air inlets and outlets will not be covered
or obstructed and that the cooling air flow will not be affected
adversely in any other way
•Make sure that the installation prerequisites (➔ page 6:
Installation Prerequisites) are complied with and will remain
complied with, particularly that a sufficient cooling will be
ensured
CAUTION
The vacuum pump emits noise of high intensity in a narrow
band.
Risk of damage to the hearing.
Persons staying in the vicinity of a non noise insulated vacuum
pump over extended periods shall wear ear protection.
CAUTION
During operation the surface of the vacuum pump may reach
temperatures of more than 70 °C.
Risk of burns!
The vacuum pump shall be protected against contact during
operation, it shall cool down prior to a required contact or heat
protection gloves shall be worn.

Conveying Condensable Vapours
Version “Aqua”:
♦Close the shut-off valve in the suction line
♦Warm up the vacuum pump for approx. 10 minutes
At process start:
♦Open the shut-off valve in the suction line
At the process end:
♦Close the shut-off valve in the suction line
♦Open the ambient air valve
♦Operate the vacuum pump for another approx. 10 minutes
♦Close the ambient air valve
♦Regularly drain condensate from the anti-pulsation
chamber (n)
Maintenance
•Prior to disconnecting connections make sure that the
connected pipes/lines are vented to atmospheric pressure
Maintenance Schedule
Note: The maintenance intervals depend very much on the
individual operating conditions. The intervals given below are upper
limits that must not be exceeded.
Particularly heavy duty operation, such like high dust loads in the
environment or in the process gas, other contaminations or ingress
of process material, can make it necessary to shorten the
maintenance intervals significantly.
Monthly
In case of dusty process gases:
Note: In case of dusty process gases despite an inlet air filter
finest dust particles can enter the vacuum pump and collect in
the anti-pulsation chamber. By means of short-time operation
with unrestricted suction (= maximum flow rate) the dust will be
blow out from the anti-pulsation chamber.
♦Open the suction connection
♦Operate the vacuum pump for approx. 5 minutes with
unrestricted suction
•Make sure that the vacuum pump is shut down and locked
against inadvertent start up
In case an inlet air filter (l) is installed:
♦Check the inlet air filter (l), if necessary replace
In case of operation in a dusty environment:
♦Clean as described under ➔ page 13: Every 6 Months
Every 3 Months:
•Make sure that the vacuum pump is shut down and locked
against inadvertent start up
•Check the level of the synchronising gear oil
The level shall be slightly above the middle of the sight glass (f).
The level of the synchronising gear should stay constant over the
lifetime of the oil. If the level does fall, the gear is leaky and the
vacuum pump requires repair (Busch service).
WARNING
Do not open the vacuum pump in potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Risk of explosion!
CAUTION
Due to the corrosion protection coating CPC the vacuum pump
is capable of conveying water vapour.
Very humid process gases and/or adverse operating cycles can
lead to residual condensates, though, which cause corrosion.
If this is the case, it is necessary to counteract residual
condensates by warming up the vacuum pump, conveyance of
ambient air after process end and regular draining of the anti-
pulsation chamber (m).
WARNING
The approval of the vacuum pump for use in potentially
explosive areas remains valid only if the maintenance is
conducted regularly according to the maintenance
schedule below and genuine spare parts and consumables,
approved for use in potentially explosive areas by Busch,
are used exclusively.
Maintenance work must be executed by qualified
personnel, specially instructed in the maintenance of this
type of vacuum pump by Busch.
CAUTION
During operation the surface of the vacuum pump may reach
temperatures of more than 70 °C.
Risk of burns!
DANGER
In case the vacuum pump conveyed gas that was
contaminated with foreign materials which are dangerous
to health, harmful material can reside in filters.
Danger to health during inspection, cleaning or
replacement of filters.
Danger to the environment.
Personal protective equipment must be worn during the
handling of contaminated filters.
Contaminated filters are special waste and must be
disposed of separately in compliance with applicable
regulations.

sure the vacuum pump will run in the correct
direction (➔ page 6: Installation)
The drive motor is running, but the vacuum
pump stands still The coupling between the drive motor and the vacuum pump is defective Replace the coupling element
(in order not to compromise the explosion
safety of the vacuum pump the coupling must
be adjusted and measured according to a
precisely defined procedure; therefore the
coupling element must be replaced by the
Busch service only)
The vacuum pump starts, but labours or runs
noisily or rattles
The drive motor draws a too high current
(compare with initial value after
commissioning)
Loose connection(s) in the drive motor
terminal box
Not all drive motors coils are properly
connected
The drive motor operates on two phases only
Check the proper connection of the wires
against the connection diagram
(particularly on motors with six coils)
Tighten or replace loose connections
