The D-LAB vacuum pump series was developed specifically
to satisfy the exacting standards, reliability and ease of use
demanded in today's laboratory applications.
Diaphragm pump technology has proved itself during re-
cent decades and the D-LAB range is a logical continuation
of this technology.
With six different pumping capacities and having facilities far madular
expansian, a D-LAB pumping system can be aptimised far any applicatian. 18< ~~14

Modular System.
Starting with a pump.it is possible to build up a system.The
ultimate type is the SCC system which is capable of con-
trolling two separate vacuum processes.
Vacuum Pump with two Separators
(System SR)
Figure2: D-LABsystemSReg.pump model D-LAB34-8
Condensable components in the gas can be separated on
the exhaust side of the pump in order to prevent their es-
cape into the environment. On the suction side the Separa-
tor collects any particular matter and droplets.This protects
the pump from contamination and ensures maximum con-
tinuous performance of the pump.
The Separator is made from specially treated glass and
features implosion protection.

Characteristics of D-LAB Pumps and D-LAB
Systems:
* The vacuum pumps are gas-tight, 100 % oil-free, mainte-
nance-free and quiet.
* High ultimate vacuum and fast pump down time.
* All parts of the pump head in contact with gases being
pumped are resistant against aggressive substances (ma-
terials: PTFE, FFKM, PVDF).
* New valve system is very tolerant of water vapour and
condensates.
* Illuminated switch on pump.
* Over-load protection by means of thermal cutout.
* Compact design with space saving dimensions.
* Changing of the diaphragms and valves in the vacuum
pumps is a simple procedure.
* The individual system components are easily integrated
into one unit which can be progressively expanded.
* The entire unit is mounted on a sturdy baseplate which
makes it safe and easy to transport.
* Individual components are easily removed because they
all have plug in connectors.
* Additional laboratory equipment can easily be mounted
on the grooves holding the separator or on the sup-
port rods and horizontal bars.
1.1.2 Vacuum Pump with Separator and High
Performance Condenser (System SH)
The high performance Condenser enables condensable com-
ponents in the vapour to be separated out and thereby re-
moved from the atmosphere, at the same time protecting
the environment.
The condensate is collected in a glass flask. The flask is

attached to the Condenser flange with a clamp. The con-
densation temperature is maintained by running cold water
or recirculated coolant through the Condenser.
~ The condenser must be instol/ed on the outlet side of the
pump; if it is instol/ed on the inlet side there is o donger of
implosion.
.1.3 Vacuum Pump with Separator, High
Performance Condenser and one
Vacuum Controller (System SC)
Figure5: D-LABsystemSCC.egpump model D-LAB34-8
By adding a secondVacuum Controller two separate pump-
ing applications may be carried out simultaneously and in-
dependently, using only one vacuum pump.
~ Ensure that the gases evalved from both processes can safely
be mixed.
2. General Safety Precautions
Figure4:D-LABSystemSC,eg.pump model D-LAB34-8
Vacuum pumps in conventional laboratory systems operate
continuously even after they reach their final vacuum level.
D-LAB systems equipped with aVacuum Controller enable
the pump to be switched on and off between pre-set vacuum
levels. Setting of the vacuum levels and differential pressure
is via a keypad on the Vacuum Controller.
& Observeall applicable accident prevention regulations as
well asgenerallyrecognisedHealth and Safetyrules.
* Parts of the casingmarked with the
signopposite are only allowed to be
opened after isolating the supply
(disconnecting the power source).
* Only authorized personnel should
open those parts of the casingthat
contain live electrical parts-
* Before using the D-LAB, carefully study the operating
instructions.Avoid dangeroussituations by observing the
relevant instructions at all times.
* Always keep the operating manual handy in the work
area.
* Before operation, ensure that the plastic plugs covering
the inlet and outlet ports are removed.
* Ensure that the pump system and its components are
used only for those applications for which they were
intended.
* The equipment should only be connected to properly
installed grounded outlets.
* When cleaning the unit make sure that no fluids come
into contact with the inside of the casing.
* All pump models are fitted with protective thermal cut-
outs.After operation of the thermal cutout or after a
power failure the unit must be disconnected from the
mains and then reconnected to reset the cut-out.
* Do not operate the pump/D-LAB-system in an atmos-
phere containing explosive gases.
* Use only original replacement parts.
* Do not expose any part of your body to the vacuum.
* Observe the specific safety precautions in section4 of
the Operating Instructions.
Features of the Vacuum Controller
* Simple entry of the desired vacuum level and differen-
tial pressure.
* Precise reproducibility of set values.
* Facility to interrupt pumping program at any point.
* The D-LAB system with Vacuum Controller automati-
cally vents to atmosphere when switched off.This pro-
longs the operating life of the pump.
* Easyventing of the system by touching the key pad.
* One touch resetting from controlled pumping to maxi-
mum vacuum.
* In the event of power failure the last entered valuesare
retained.

3.1 Mounting the pump to the Baseplate
(all systems)
Basic requirements for the assembly of a D-LAB-system
are a D-LAB pump and a Baseplate. The mounting-system
allows interchange of pump types on the baseplate without
difficulties.
For mounting a D-LAB-pump to the baseplate the pump
must be equipped with a mount (two components).
Baseplates ordered separately (see 9.3 Accessories for the
D-LAB) will contain the mounts.
Installation of the mounts on the pump:
a. Unscrew the pump's rubber feet anticlockwise;
b. Install the mounts onto the pump according to figure 6.

* The condenser-connectors for the cooling water require
connection tubing with an inside diameter of 8mm
* Observe the correct usage of the gas- and cooling wa-
ter-connections on the condenser (see figure 8). Inlet
and outlet connections for the vapour side are not inter-
changeable.
* When connecting the tubing, make sure that the pump's
exhaust nozzle is always higher than the Condenser's
inlet connection.This prevents any condensate that might
form in the tube from running back into the pump head
in large quantities.
* Ensure that the coolant inflow and outflow are con-
nected to the correct nozzles as indicated in figure 8.

4.1 General Notes
Before using the vacuum pump or the D-LAB system please
observe the following points:
* Choose a safe location (flat surface) for the equipment.
* Ensure that the vacuum pump is securely fastened to
the Baseplate.The two locating pins underneath the pump
must be locked in position.
* Laboratory equipment or additional components con-
nected to a D-LAB -pump or a D-LAB -system must
be compatible with the physical capabilities of the pump.
* When using the high performance condenser the sys-
tem must be connected to a cold water supply or a re-
circulating cooler.
* When using two Vacuum Controllers: two controllers
should only be used with gases which can be mixed safely
together.
* Don't operate the pump/D-LAB-system in an atmos-
phere containing explosive gases.
Before getting started:
* Specific safety instructions for the media being handled
must be observed.
* Observe all safety regulations when handling: corrosive,
explosive, microbiological, radioactive, toxic and other
dangerous materials.
* Ensure the pump outlet is not closed or restricted and
adequate ventilation allowed.
If using a Condenser:
* Ensure that the vapour outlet on the top of the con-
denser isnever blocked (akink in the exhaust hose could
causepressure build up).

4.3.3.3 Automatic Adjustment of Pre-Set
Vacuum Level
The automatic correction feature only functions when the
preset ~p value is equal to or greater than 3 %. (See section
4.3.3.2).
If after reaching a preset vacuum level (chapter 4.3.3.1 )
the pump restarts too often,the "Auto" key will automatically
adjust the preset value. The preset value is automatically
adjusted by increments of S mbar up to a maximum of 10
such increments whenever the pump restarts at least twice
within an interval of 8 seconds.
If the activation frequency of the pump is still too high
after the 10 increments (plus SO mbar), i.e. the maximum
automatic incremental adjustment has been reached, the
display element will flash slowly as a signal. A new cycle of
automatic incremental adjustment can be initiated by press-
ing the "Auto" key.
During normal operation the "Auto" key turns the au-
tomatic incremental adjustment feature on and off. This fea-
ture remains activated after venting (see section 4.3.3.8) and
can be turned off by pressing the "Auto" key.
Rapid venting while the pump is running:
* Press the Arrow up key
-the venting valve operates immediately
-the valve remains open as long as theArrow Up Key is
pressed
-the vacuum controller memorised the new setpoint

spective of the operating altitude or if the inlet of the vent-
ing valve is under pressure.

6. Troubleshooting
a. Switch on the Controller.
Display flashes 5 seconds and indicates either the fac-
tory set value of 1020 mbar or the last entered value.
b. During this time the limiting values are input by the up
arrow/down arrow keys (value should be approximately
5 to 8 mbar over atmospheric pressure.
c. 5 seconds after the last operation with the up arrow/
down arrow keys the new limit will be memorised.

4.3.4 Operation with Baseplate, Separator,
High Performance Condenser, Electrical
Supply Unit and Two Vacuum Control-
lers.
Warning:Where twa separate processes are in aperation, ensure
that the evolved gases can be safely mixed.
InsufficientVacuum Performance:
Possiblereasons:
* Tube connections are not tight.
* Condensate in the pump head (remove the source of
condensation from the pump or consider using gasbal-
last valve option).
* Diaphragms and/or valve plates are worn out (changing
diaphragms and valve plates;seesection 7}.
* Ifthis problem occurs after changingof diaphragms.valve
plates and/or O-rings: seeinformation in section 7.
Separator:
see section 4.3.
High performance Condenser:
seesection4.3.2
Pump is switched on, but does not run and
the on/off-switch on the pump is not lit.
Possiblereasons:
* Pump is not connected to the power source.
* No voltage at the power source.
* Fusein the pump is defective (only authorized/qualified
personnel should investigate this problem! Disconnect
the pump from the power source, the fuse is accessible
after opening the marked cover at the bottom of the
pump. Dimension of the fuse:seesection8).
Pump is switched on, but does not run and
the on/off-switch on the pump is lit.
Possiblereasons:
* The heat sensitive circuit breaker has cut in because of
the pump overheating (disconnect the pump from the
power source, let the pump cool down, investigate the
reason for the overheating and eradicate it).
Controller:
A pump system with two Controllers can control two sepa-
rate processes simultaneously and independently.This is made
possible by using two Vacuum Valves each controlled byone
Vacuum Controller.
Each of the two Vacuum Controllers operate in the same
manner (see sections 4.3.3). Each Vacuum Controller func-
tions independently of the other and can be separately set.
Once the preset vacuum level on one of the Vacuum
Controllers has been reached, the Vacuum Valve that it con-
trols will close. The pump, however, may continue to oper-
ate until the preset vacuum on the other Vacuum Control-
ler is reached.The secondVacuumValve then cioses;the pump
shuts off and the Pump Vent Valve opens.
Once the pump has vented, it restarts only when one
of the differential pressures exceeds the preset level. 6.2 System with one Controller
