Suction Connection
•Make sure that the suction line will be connected via the
supplied inlet air filter (c) (with equipotential bonding)
•Make sure that the suction line fits to the suction connection of
the vacuum pump
•Make sure that the pipe is made from electrically conductive
material and equipped with an equipotential bonding
connection (execution according to EN 61241-14 or equivalent
national or local regulations)
•Make sure that the pipe will cause no stress on the vacuum
pump’s connection, if necessary use an expansion joint
•Make sure that the line size of the suction line over the entire
length is at least as large as the suction connection of the
vacuum pump
In case the length of the suction line exceeds 2 m it is prudent to use
larger line sizes in order to avoid a loss of efficiency and an overload
of the vacuum pump. Seek advice from your Busch representative!
In case the vacuum pump shall be maintained after shutdown of the
vacuum pump:
♦Provide a manual or automatic operated valve (= non-
return valve) in the suction line
Version “Aqua”, if very humid process gases and/or adverse
operating cycles bear the risk, that condensates remain in the
vacuum pump:
♦Provide a shut-off valve, a drip-leg and a drain cock in the
suction line, so that condensates can be drained from the
suction line
♦Provide a valve for the unthrottled suction of ambient air
(ambient air valve) between the shut-off valve and the
vacuum pump (in order to dry the vacuum pump after
process end)
♦For non ultimate-pressure-proof vacuum pumps provide a
vacuum relief valve (suitable for continuous operation) for
the throttled aspiration of ambient air during warming up
♦Make sure that the anti-pulsation chamber is equipped
with a condensate drain cock (optional; if the condensate
drain cock is missing contact the Busch service)
•Make sure that the suction line does not contain foreign
objects, e.g. welding scales
Gas Discharge
The discharged gas must flow without obstruction. It is not
permitted to shut off or throttle the discharge line or to use it as
a pressurised air source.
The following guidelines for the discharge line do not apply, if the
aspirated air is discharged to the environment right at the vacuum
pump.
•Make sure that the discharge line fits to the gas discharge of
the vacuum pump
•Make sure that the pipe will cause no stress on the vacuum
pump’s connection, if necessary use an expansion joint
•Make sure that the line size of the discharge line over the entire
length is at least 2”
In case the length of the discharge line exceeds 2 m it is prudent to
use larger line sizes in order to avoid a loss of efficiency and an
overload of the vacuum pump. Seek advice from your Busch
representative!
•Make sure that the discharge line either slopes away from the
vacuum pump or provide a liquid separator or a drip leg with a
drain cock, so that no liquids can back up into the vacuum
pump
Electrical Connection / Controls
•Make sure that the stipulations acc. to the EMC-Directive
2014/30/EC and Low-Voltage-Directive 2006/95/EC as well as
the EN-standards, electrical and occupational safety directives
and the local or national regulations, respectively, are complied
with (this is the responsibility of the designer of the machinery
into which the vacuum pump is to be incorporated; ➔ page 16:
note in the EC-Declaration of Conformity).
•Make sure that the power supply for the drive motor is
compatible with the data on the nameplate of the drive motor
•Make sure that an overload protection according to EN 60204-1
is provided for the drive motor
•Make sure that the drive of the vacuum pump will not be
affected by electric or electromagnetic disturbance from the
mains; if necessary seek advice from the Busch service
In case of mobile installation:
♦Provide the electrical connection with grommets that serve
as strain-relief
•Make sure that an earth point is available for connection to the
inlet air filter (c)
•Electrical circuits in zone 1 (outside) shall be executed
intrinsically safe in protection class ib acc. to EN 60079-11.
Installation
Mounting
•Make sure that the installation prerequisites (➔ page 5) are
complied with
•Set down or mount the vacuum pump at its location
Checking Synchronising Gear Oil
The vacuum pump is delivered with oil filled synchronising gear.
The level shall be slightly above the middle of the sight glass.
•Check on the sight glass that the proper amount of oil is filled
Connecting Electrically
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock, risk of damage to equipment.
Electrical installation work must only be executed by
qualified personnel that knows and observes the following
regulations:
- IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100, respectively,
