Basic Safety Instructions
2 Basic Safety Instructions
2.1 General Information
Warning notices must be observed. Disregarding them may lead to damage to health and
property.
The diaphragm pumps must be operated by personnel who can detect impending dangers
and take action to prevent them from materialising.
The manufacturer or authorized authorised workshops will only service or maintain the dia-
phragm pump if it is accompanied by a fully completed damage report. Precise information
about the contamination (also negative information if necessary) and thorough cleaning of
the diaphragm pump are legally binding parts of the contract.
Contaminated diaphragm pumps and their individual parts must be disposed of in accor-
dance with the legal regulations.
The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
2.2 Electricity
The diaphragm pumps of operation mode S1 are supplied. When the location of operation
mode S1 devices is changed, please note that the testing must be repeated in accordance
with DIN EN 0105, DIN EN 0702 and BGV A2.
The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
Please note the following when connecting to the electrical power supply system:
• The electrical power supply system must have a protective connector according to DIN VDE 0100-
410 (IEC 60364-4-41).
• The protective connector must not have any breaks.
• The connecting cable must not be damaged.
2.3 Mechanical Systems
Improper use can lead to injuries or material damage. Observe the following instructions:
• Only operate the diaphragm pumps with hoses of the specified dimensions.
• The maximum permissible pressure of 1 bar at the suction connection must not be exceeded.
• Hazardous substances must be separated out as far as this is technically possible before they
reach the pump.
• External mechanical stresses and vibrations must not be transmitted to the pump. Only use flexible
NW 8 laboratory hoses for connecting diaphragm pumps.
• The overpressure generated at the pressure port must not exceed 1 bar.
• The pump must not be used to suck up fluids. Lay the exhaust pipe so that it slopes downwards, so
allowing condensate to flow out of the pump. Collect the condensate and dispose of it in an envi-
ronmentally compatible manner.
• Prevent dyes exuding.
• Maintain a space of least 20 mm between the pump and adjacent parts in order to enable the pump
to cool.
CAUTION !
Solid particles in the pumping medium impair the pumping action and can lead to
damage. Prevent solid particles penetrating into the pump.

Basic Safety Instructions
2.4 Hazardous Substances
The operating company bears the responsibility for the use of the diaphragm pump.
Hazardous substances in the gases to be pumped can cause personal injuries and property
damage. Pay attention to the warning notices for handling hazardous substances.
The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
Combustible Gases
Examine before switching on whether that can form gas combustible gas/air mixtures which
can be promoted! Consider the regulations of the guideline 1999/92/EC.
Explosive gases
The diaphragm pumps is not certified according to ATEX guidelines 94/9/EC.
Aggressive gases
The MPC series is designed for extracting contaminated gases!
The use of diaphragm pumps of the series MP of ILMVAC GmbH cannot be recommended
for such cases of application!
Especially aggressive gases have to be explicitly checked for material resistance as de-
scribed in chapter 3.4 and, if necessary, modified.
Poisonous gases
Use a separator when pumping poisonous or harmful gases. Prevent such substances from
leaking out of the appliance or pump. Treat these substances according to the applicable
environmental protection regulations.
Test the strength and leak-tightness of the connecting lines and the connected apparatus.
Prevent environmental poisons, e.g. mercury, getting into the diaphragm pumps.
Fulfil the requirements, for example:
• German Hazardous Substances Regulation (GefStoffV) of 23. December 2004
• Regulations 2006/121/EC (classification, packaging and identification of hazardous sub-
stances),
• Manufacturer's safety data sheets on hazardous substances.
2.5 High Temperatures
The diaphragm pump may heat up as a result of the temperature of the gas being pumped
and through compression heat.
Prevent the following maximum permissible temperatures from being exceeded.
• + 40 °C for the environment, and
• + 60 °C for the gas to be pumped.
The motor for single phase alternating current is protected against overload by an integrated
motor protection switch.

Description
3 Description
3.1 Design
The one-stage diaphragm pump consists of a
pump body and a drive motor.
The pump casing contains the drive unit and
one pump heads.
The pump head contains a diaphragm and
the work valves.
The pump heads are driven via an eccentric
shaft with a connecting rod.
Fig. 1 Diaphragm pump MP 301 E
3.2 Principle of Operation
Motor, eccentric shaft and connecting rod set the diaphragms in stroke movement. This
changes the size of the space between the diaphragms and pump head (pump chamber).
Increasing the size of the pump chamber opens the inlet valve while the outlet valve is
closed (intake process).
Decreasing the size of the pump chamber ejects the gas through the outlet valve.
The valves are actuated by the gas being pumped. A large proportion of fluid in the dia-
phragm pump minimizes the pumping efficiency.
3.3 Areas of Application
ILMVAC Diaphragm Pumps are intended to:
• Pumping and compressing neutral and aggressive gases and vapours.
• Generating a vacuum down to an ultimate pressure < 75 mbar.
• Use in physical and chemical laboratories in trade and industry.
• Use for vacuum filtration, vacuum distillation and vacuum drying, and other vacuum tech-
nology applications.
