SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.10 INTRODUCTION
2.11 The pumps are available for 115 VAC or 230 VAC
applications and are intended for either industrial or
commercial use.
2.21 This manual has been compiled not only for the care and
maintenance of the Cole-Parmer Vacuum/Pressure Pump
now in your possession, but as a helpful reference and
guide to prevent many problems which may occur if used
improperly.
2.20 UNPACKING
2.21 Carefully remove the Vacuum/Pressure Pump from the
shipping case. Preserve all paperwork for future reference.
If damage has occurred from shipment a claim must be
filed with the carrier immediately; preserve the shipping
carton for inspection by the carrier. If you are required to
communicate with your dealer or Cole-Parmer, be sure to
include your order numbers for quick identification. Do not
return the pump to the factory without first calling for a
returned goods number.
2.30 PUMP MOUNTING
2.31 Rubber feet are attached to the pump. Rubber feet are
excellent for applications involving a semi-exible surface
such as a bench top; they help to isolate noise and
eliminate creeping. The Vacuum/Pressure Pump should be
placed on a horizontal plane which the rubber feet contact
with.
2.40 PUMP LOCATION
2.41 The Vacuum/Pressure Pump should be located preferably
in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area. Please be sure
not to block the ventilation holes located on the motor
housing. The system should be placed where the
9

housing. The system should be placed where the
surrounding temperature remains between 10°C and 40°C
(50°F and 104°F). Always check to insure the location
chosen is protected from direct or indirect moisture contact.
Cole-Parmer recommends that the pump be installed at
the highest point within the system to prevent possible
water condensate from entering the pump.The pump
should be located as closely to its system in order to
utilize it most efficiently.
WARNING
The motor is thermally protected and will
automatically restart unexpectedly when the
overload device resets. Don’t pump ammable or
explosive gases or vapors or operate this pump in
an atmosphere containing ammable or explosive
gases or vapors.
2.50 ELECTRICAL POWER
2.51 Power Source Review
Review the power source and the motor rating to be sure
they agree in voltage, phase, and frequency. Serious
damage may occur to the motor if it is connected to an
improper voltage.
Please Note: For Model 79202-00 and 79202-30, the
pumps have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
