4.1.1 Data plate

4.2 Description
V-VC 202 and V-VC 303 have a micro filter on the intake side and an oil and oil mist separator for the return
of the oil to the oil system on the outlet side. The vacuum pump is housed in a sound cover. A fan between
the pump housing and the motor cools the air in the pump housing and cools the circulating oil.
An integral non-return valve prevents the evacuated system from being ventilated after the pump has
stopped. If the machine has been idle for more than two minutes the connected pipe should be ventilated to
atmospheric pressure.
A gas ballast valve fitted as standard (Fig. 2/U) prevents condensation of water vapour in the inside of the
pump when low amounts of steam are sucked in when the pump is at operating temperature. A reinforced
gas ballast (optional) can be used if there is a higher amount of water vapour.
Thepumpsaredrivenbystandardangedthree-phasemotorsusingacoupling.
4.3 Areas of application
Theseoil-oodedrotaryvanevacuumpumpsV-VC202andV-VC303aresuitableforproducingvacuum.
The nominal suction capacity with free suction is 200 and 300 m3/h at 50 Hz. Data sheet D232/20 shows the
dependency of the suction capacity on the intake pressure.
These types are suitable for the evacuation of closed systems or for a continuous vacuum within the follow-
ing intake pressure ranges: 0.5 to 500 mbar (abs.).
If the machine is operated continuously outside these ranges there is the risk of oil leaking through the outlet
opening. When evacuating closed systems the volume to be evacuated must be no more than 2% of the
nominal suction capacity of the vacuum pump.
For permanent operation of > 100 mbar (abs.) the next larger motor output must be used.
If the unit is switched on more frequently (at regular intervals of about 10 times an hour) or at
higher ambient temperatures and intake temperatures, the excess temperature limit of the motor
winding and the bearings may be exceeded.
Please contact the manufacturer should the unit be used under such conditions

The cooling air inlets (Fig. 2/E) and the cooling air outlets (Fig. 2/F) must be at least 30 cm away
from adjacent walls. Cooling air coming out must not be sucked in again.
For maintenance work there must be a space of at least 50 cm around the machine.
5.2 Installation
NOTICE
The machine may only be operated when it is
set up horizontally.
Material damage resulting from the machine
tipping over and falling.
When installed at more than 1000 m above sea
level a reduction in power is noticeable. In this
case we would ask you to contact us.

ing conditions:

5.3 Connecting pipes
WARNING
Sealing or constricting of the exhaust air outlet
(Fig. 2/B) may lead to severe or fatal injuries!
In the aggregate an inside pressure can be higher
and higher, which leads to the destruction of com-
ponents!
NOTICE
Material damage resulting from the forces and
torques of the pipes on the unit being too high.
Only screw pipes in by hand.
The suction capacity of the vacuum pump is
reduced if the suction pipe is too narrow and/
or too long.
Counter pressures on the outlet side are only
permissible up to + 0.1 bar.
Prevent liquids accumulating in the exhaust
line.
a) The vacuum connection (Fig. 2/A) can be found
onthesuctionange(Fig.2/D).
b) The discharged air can be freely blown out
through the exhaust air hole (Fig. 2/B) or con-
ducted away using a hose or pipe.
5.4 Filling with lubricating oil
a) Fill the lubricating oil (for suitable types see the
“Maintenance” section) via the oil filling point
(Fig. 2/H) up to the upper edge of the sight glass
(Fig. 2/I).
b) Close the oil filling points.

Installation
5.5 Connecting the motor
DANGER
Danger of death if the electrical installation has
not been done professionally.
The electrical installation may only be done by a spe-
cialist electrician observing EN 60204. The operating
company has to provide the main switch.
a) The motor’s electrical data is given on the data
plate (Fig. 2/N) or on the motor data plate. The
motors comply with DIN EN 60034 and are in
protection class IP55 and insulation class F. The
appropriate connection diagram is located in the
motor‘s terminal box (not for the plug connec-
tion version). Compare the motor data with the
data of the existing mains network (current type,
voltage, network frequency, permitted current
value).
b) Connect the motor via the motor protection
switch (for safety reasons, a motor protection
switch is required and the connecting cable
must be installed via a cable fitting to provide
strain relief).
We recommend using motor protection switches
with delayed switch off, depending on possible
excess current. Temporary excess current can
occur when the machine is started cold.
NOTICE
Power supply
The conditions at the installation location must match
the information on the motor data plate. Without
derating the following is permissible:
• ±5%voltagedeviation
• ±2%frequencydeviation

Commissioning and decommissioning
6 Commissioning and decommissioning
6.1 Commissioning
WARNING
Improper use
May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be
sure to obey the safety instructions.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
When the machine is at operating temperature
the surface temperatures on the components
(Fig. 2/Q) may go above 70 °C.
You must avoid touching the hot surfaces (mar-
ked with warning plates).
CAUTION
Noise emission
The highest noise pressure levels measured as
per EN ISO 3744 are given in Section 9. When
spending a long time in the vicinity of the running
machine use ear protectors to avoid permanent
damage to your hearing.
CAUTION
Oil aerosols in the extracted air
In spite of the air oil removing system separating the
oil mist to a large extent, the extracted air contains
a small residue of oil aerosols. Breathing in these
aerosols all the time could damage your health.
Therefore you must ensure that the installation room
is well ventilated.

Commissioning and decommissioning
6.1.1 Checking the rotation direction
The drive shaft direction of rotation is shown by
the rotation direction arrow (Fig. 2/O) on the mo-
torange.
 a) Startthemotorbriey(max.twoseconds)to
check the direction of rotation. When looking at
the motor fan, it must rotate clockwise.
NOTICE
Incorrect direction of rotation
Operating in the wrong direction of rotation leads
to damage to the machine.
Use a phase sequence indicator to check the direc-
tion of rotation (anti-clockwise rotating field).
b) After correcting the direction of rotation if nec-
essary, start the motor again and stop it again
after 2 minutes in order to top missing oil up to
the upper edge of the sight glass (Fig. 2/I). This
topping up at the filling point (Fig. 2/ H) must be
repeated until all the oil pipes have been filled
completely. The filling point must not be open
when the pump is running.
6.2 Decommissioning/ storing
Stop the machine
a) Switch the machine off.
b) If available close the cut off device in the suction
and pressure pipe.
c) Disconnect the machine from the electricity
source.
d) Depressurise the machine:
Open the pipes slowly.
The pressure reduces slowly.
e) Remove the pipes and hoses.
f) Seal the connections for suction and pressure
nozzles using adhesive foil.
see also Section 3.2.1, Page 11
6.3 Re-commissioning
a) Check the condition of the machine (cleanliness,
cabling etc.).
b) Drain the preserving agents.
For installation see Section 5 Page 14
