Introduction
The Millivac Maxi Diaphragm Pump is a double-head, dry-running de-
vice used in a wide range of laboratory applications including those
that require pumping slightly aggressive or corrosive gases and vapors.
This pump works without oil lubrication, eliminating oil vapors that
might pollute the transferred, evacuated or compressed air. The design
of this small pump includes a patented diaphragm for maintenance-
free service for a minimum of one year. The design is also gastight
with a leakage rate of approximately 6 × 10-3 mbar × l/s.
CAUTION: Always use a hydrophobic vent filter or a vacuum-flask
water trap in conjunction with the pump. (See Figures 1
and 2.) Never pump or draw liquids through the pump, as
this will damage the pump.

Usage Guidelines
■Always use the Millex®-FG50 vent filter and silicone tubing included
with the pump when applying vacuum. This will prevent liquids or
vapors from entering the Millivac Maxi Pump. A properly attached
Millex-FG50 vent filter is illustrated in Figure 1.
■For maximum protection of the pump, use a Millex-FG50 vent filter
AND a vacuum trap to protect the pump from vapors and gases.
The vacuum trap consists of a 1 liter filtering flask (Millipore cat.
no. XX10 047 05), No. 8 stopper (XX10 047 08) and silicone tubing.
Additional tubing is available as Millipore cat. no. XX80 000 24.
This assembly is illustrated in Figure 2.
■Never pump or draw liquids through the pump. This will damage
the pump. The filter flask and vacuum trap should be emptied after
each use.

Rules for Safe Operation
▲▲
▲▲
▲WARNING: The motor is thermally protected and will automatically
restart unexpectedly when the overload device resets. Do
NOT pump flammable or explosive gases or vapors or
operate this pump in an atmosphere containing flam-
mable or explosive gases or vapors.
▲▲
▲▲
▲WARNING: Use of this pump in a manner not specifically stated in
this user guide could result in severe bodily injury.
Read and understand the information in this owner’s manual before
operating the pressure/vacuum pump.
■The vacuum pump should be operated in a dry clean and well ven-
tilated area.
■When the unit is not in use, wrap the power cord around the vacuum
pump and store in a dry place. Do not abuse the cord.
■Replace the Millex-FG50 vent filter (SLFG 050 10) if necessary.
■Inspect hose, plug and cord for signs of damage before use. Do not
use if a deficiency is found. Never operate a damaged unit. Contact
Millipore for replacement parts; see Technical Assistance section for
details.
■This vacuum pump needs no lubrication. Applying oil to any part
could result in polluted air delivery to the air-handling equipment
and will damage the pump.
■To operate at maximum efficiency, the pump system must be thor-
oughly clean. Refer to the Maintenance section for details on prop-
erly cleaning the pump.
■All vacuum pumps generate heat, even under normal operating
conditions. To avoid serious burns, never touch the head parts and
tubing, during and immediately after operation.
■Do not carry the pump by the tube that runs between the two
heads. This is not a handle and will not bear the weight of the
pump.

Install the Battery
1. Insert a coin into the slot in the back of the digital vacuum gauge
and remove the cover.
2. Install the battery (type CR2430) between the metal prongs, with the
“+” side facing out. Replace the cover.
Attach the Digital Vacuum Gauge
1. Remove the plastic cap from the threaded connector on the pump
head.
2. Reveal the corresponding digital vacuum gauge connector and O-
ring by sliding the nut toward the body of the gauge.
3. Align the connectors and then slide the nut onto the threads of the
pump head connector and hand tighten by turning the nut clockwise.
4. Tighten nut securely using a 3/4” or 19 mm wrench.
Attach the Tubing
1. Attach the supplied tubing to the pump by pressing it onto the
vacuum port on the digital vacuum gauge.
2. Insert the Millex-FG50 filter device into other end of the tubing.
3. Connect tubing from appropriate filtration device onto the free out-
let of the Millex-FG50 device.
Connect the Power Cord
The Millivac Maxi pump is shipped with three different power cords.
Connect the appropriate power cord to the pump’s electrical pigtail
and then plug into an electrical outlet.

Turn on Digital Vacuum Gauge
Press the Select key to turn the digital vacuum gauge on. When first
turned on, the gauge will flash the full-scale pressure range and the
software version (year/week). After that the actual pressure displays at
the top of the screen and the last measured MAX value shows at the
bottom of the screen. View the MIN value for 5 seconds by pressing
the Enter key.
NOTE: The digital vacuum gauge will turn on automatically when the
battery is first installed.

Digital Gauge Functions
Turn the regulator knob all the way closed to assure full vacuum be-
fore setting the digital gauge functions.
Press the Select key to select the gauge’s various functions and the
pressure units. Press the Enter key to activate the selected function or
pressure unit.
NOTE: If the Enter key is not pressed within 5 seconds of selecting the
function, the gauge returns to the measuring mode without
changing any settings.
Pressing the Select key scrolls through the following functions: Reset,
Off, and Mano.
Starting at initial display screen:
RESET
Press the Select key once to choose Reset. Press Enter to set the MIN/
MAX values to the actual pressure.
OFF
Press the Select key twice to choose Off. Press Enter to turn the digital
vacuum gauge off.
MANO
Press the Select key three times and then press Enter to choose Mano.
Mano allows access to a number of functions. Press Select until the de-
sired function is displayed and then press Enter to select the function.
Zero Set: Sets a new zero reference at atmospheric pressure.
Use for measurement of relative pressure.
Zero Res: Sets the zero back to the factory default setting
(0 bar absolute).
Cont On: Deactivates the automatic turn-off function. (Used
when pumping large quantities of sample.)
Cont Off: Activates the automatic turn-off function. (The pump
turns off 15 minutes after the last key function.)
Unit Selection: Scrolls through to display measurements in bar,
mbar/hPa, kPa, MPa, PSI, kp/cm2.
These functions must be set at first use. Turning the pump on and off
will not affect the chosen settings.

Measurement Ranges and Calibration
Pressure: 0–1200 mbar ab
Compensated temperature range: 0–50 °C
Precision at room temperature (% MR) + 0.25
Resolution 1 mbar
If a pressure can not be displayed, the message OFL (Overflow) or UFL
(Underflow) will appear on the gauge screen. If a pressure outside the
measurement range of the vacuum gauge is applied, the last pressure
value is displayed blinking. In both of these cases, recalibrate the
pump or check tubing connections. If problems continue, contact Milli-
pore Technical Service.
Pump the Sample
When the digital vacuum gauge is set to the appropriate values, begin
pumping by turning on the on/off switch on the front of the pump.
When pumping is complete, turn off the unit using the on/off switch.
To reduce vacuum flow without using the digital vacuum gauge, turn
the regulator knob counter-clockwise to the open position.
Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions, and using proper handling proce-
dures, the Millivac Maxi Pump should provide many hours of trouble-
free operation. These durable units are built for quiet continuous duty
operation. Millivac Maxi Pumps are 100% oil-free. The pump employs
a non-lube piston and cylinder. No maintenance is necessary for the
bearings. All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated.
CAUTION: Do not lubricate any of the parts with oil, grease or petro-
leum products. Do not clean with acids, caustics or chlori-
nated solvents. Do not replace the connecting rod or mo-
tor bearings.
Use mild soap or standard laboratory detergent, bleach, or ethyl alco-
hol to clean all surfaces of the Millivac Maxi Pump. After cleaning,
rinse off any residue with a soft cloth or paper towel dampened in
clean water, then wipe dry. You can also use radioactive decontamina-
tion solutions and sprays.
NOTE: Do not autoclave the Millivac Maxi Pump.
