Leak detector Vakumatik IVF R34
1. General information – authorised service company
Assembly, starting up, maintenance and repair of this leak detector have to be carried out by
specialists with proven knowledge of the construction and operation of systems for handling
liquids that are hazardous to water, as well as special knowledge in leak detection systems.
Furthermore, the specialists must also have sufficient knowledge in the area of fire and
explosion protection.
2. Safety advice
Read the technical documentation completely, observe all instructions and do not
use this product in any manner other than as described. You are advised to keep
this documentation close at hand.
Check that the documentation conforms to the device model prior to carrying out
any works on the leak detector.

4. Type / intended use
The functional principle of the vacuum leak detector type Vakumatik IVF R34 (low pressure)
with integrated pump is assessed as a Category 1 device pursuant to DIN EN 13160-2:2003.
The device is exclusively designed for installation in vacuum leak detection systems at
double-walled tanks or single-walled tanks with leak protection lining storing liquids
hazardous to water with a flash point >55°C. The leak detector unit must not be installed in
explosive area.
4.1. Switching values of the leak detector:
„Alarm On“ PAE -34 +0 / -10 mbar (-34 to -44 mbar)
„Alarm Off“ PAA about -50 mbar, resulting on the switching hysteresis
„Pump On“ PPE about -65 mbar, resulting on the switching hysteresis
„Pump Off“ PPA -80 ±5 mbar (max. monitoring pressure)
5. Area of application
5.1. General
-Use only in applications with a suction line connected to the bottom of the
tank.
-The tank may only be operated at ambient pressure condition.
-The interstitial space may not contain any leakage liquid.
-The leak detector may only be assembled outside an ex-zone.
-The requirements and conditions mentioned in the respective reports, standards and
qualifications of the tanks / leak protections lining or interstitial spaces must be fulfilled. This
is also applied to the application limits with regard to the density of the stored liquid.
-The interstitial spaces must be suitable for the respective alarm vacuum PAE and for a max.
vacuum in interstitial space PPA.
-The specific regulations of the approval certificate of the leak detector have to be observed.
5.2. Single walled containers / tanks with a leak protection lining
-Interstitial space of single walled containers in accordance with DIN 6608, EN 12285-1, DIN
6616 Form A, EN 12285-2, DIN 6619, DIN 6623, DIN 6624 part 2, DIN 6625 and with an
approved flexible or fixed leak prevention lining, approved for connection with the leak
detector and its switing values (see 4.1).

Leak detector Vakumatik IVF R34
5.3. Other suitable tanks
-Double walled tanks / containers of a cylindrical, rectangular or spherical construction
made from metallic or non-metallic material having a general building authority certification
or at least with a statement by an authorized test department for leak detection systems,
indicating that the interstitial spaces are suitable when used in connection with the leak
detector and its switching values (see 4.1). The suction line of the leak detector has to be
installed down to the bottom of the interstitial space.
-Single walled tanks / containers of a cylindrical, rectangular or spherical construction
made from metallic or non-metallic material with an approved leak protection lining having a
general building authority certification or at least with a statement by an authorized test
department for leak detection systems, indicating that the interstitial spaces are suitable
when used in connection with the leak detector and its switing values (see 4.1). The suction
line of the leak detector has to be installed down to the bottom of the interstitial space.
5.4. Stored liquids that can be monitored via the leak detector:
- Only liquids hazardous to water with a flash point >55°C (formerly AIII).
-For max. allowable media temperatures see Technical Data (Section 3).
-The stored liquids may neither be prone to high viscosity nor to solid matter
secretion; the viscosity of the storage liquid may not exceed 5,000 mm²/s
(at 0°C).
-The following table shows a selection of liquids hazardous to water, which may be
monitored using the specified leak detector. Liquids not listed here require review in
terms of stability of the media-touching parts of the leak detector (for used materials
refer to Section 6.1) and the connecting components (e.g. connection lines,
condensate vessels, liquid barrier) using the material tables in terms.
