Product description
4.2 Function
The vacuum pumps of the DuoLine
®
are dual stage rotary vane pumps and are
used primarily for rough and medium vacuum applications. The pumps are fitted
with a hydraulically controlled vacuum safety valve which, when the pump is at a
stillstand, closes the vacuum chamber vacuum tight and at the same time vents the
pump. The integrated magnetic coupling functions free of contact and friction.
Therefore it is not subjected to any mechanical wear and is completely mainte-
nance free compared to a conventional shaft feedthrough.

5.3 Connecting the exhaust side
Choose the cross-section of the exhaust line to be at least the size of the nominal
connection diameter of the vacuum pump's exhaust connection.
Piping to the pump must be suspended or supported.
– Physical forces from the piping system must not be allowed to act on vacuum
pumps.
Lay piping from the pump sloping downward so that no condensate can flow
back into the pump; otherwise fit a condensate separator.
– If an air trap is created in the system, then a device for draining condensation
water must be provided at the lowest point.
5.4 Connecting to the mains power supply
Depending on the pump type, different motor versions are possible:
• Single phase motor for fixed voltage with a built-in thermal protection switch,
mains switch and connecting cable.
• Three phase motor (without switch and mains cable).
CAUTION
High pressure in the exhaust line!
Danger of damage to the seals and danger of the pump bursting.
Install the line without shut-off valves on the exhaust side.
If there is danger of a build-up of excess pressure (> 1500 mbar abs.) in the lines,
observe all official accident prevention safety regulations.
If the exhaust gases are being extracted, the exhaust pressure must be at least
250 mbar greater than the pressure at the intake side.
WARNING
Emission of toxic substances from the exhaust!
Danger of poisoning from emitted gases or vapours, which can be detrimental to
health and/or can pollute the environment, depending on the particular application.
Comply with the applicable regulations when working with toxic substances.
Only officially approved filter systems may be used to separate and remove these
substances.
DANGER
Voltage-bearing elements
Danger to life from electric shock.
The electrical connection can be carried out only by trained and authorised electrici-
ans.
Ensure the system is adequately earthed.
CAUTION
Excess voltage!
Danger of destroying the motor.
Power connections must comply with local regulations. Voltage and frequency infor-
mation given on the motor rating plate must correspond to the mains voltage and
frequency values.
To protect the motor and supply cable in case of malfunction, mains fuse protection
must be implemented.

12
Installation
Single phase motors The vacuum pumps are fitted with a built-in thermal protection switch. Depending
on the type of pump, different motor versions with a power cord are possible:
Fig. 5: Motor circuit diagram with switch
Fuse protection
To protect the motor in case of malfunction, carry out fuse protection in accor-
dance with the regional regulations.
– Select a fuse with slow characteristics.
Three-phase motor Inspection of the direction of rotation
With pumps with three-phase motors is it necessary to check the direction of rota-
tion!
Remove the locking cap from the exhaust flange (if existing).
Switch the pump on briefly (from 2 to 3 sec.).
– The motor and motor fan must turn in a clockwise direction (see the arrow on
the support stand).
If the direction of rotation is incorrect: Swap two phase contacts at the connec-
ting cable.
Fill up the operating fluid.
WARNING
Danger of injury from moving parts!
After power failure or motor shutdown due to overheating, the motor may restart auto-
matically.
Secure the motor so that it cannot be switched on while any work is being performed
on the pump.
If necessary, dismantle the pump from the installation for inspection.
NOTE
The transmission power of the pump’s magnetic coupling is so great that there
is no overload protection for the motor.
CAUTION
Operating fluids may leak out!
If the direction of rotation is incorrect, there is a danger that operating fluids may leak
at the vacuum flange.
Always check the direction of rotation before filling in operating fluid.

13
Installation
Motor protection
Pump motors equipped with PTC temperature sensors (3PTC) in the stator wind-
ings can be connected to a PTC resistor tripping device for protection against over-
load.
Tripping devices store the shutdown event and need to be manually switched back
on again via the integrated RESET button or via the external RESET S3. Mains-ON
is detected as an automatic RESET. Other approved motor temperature monitoring
can be used also by the operator.
Set up the connections so that the directional rotation indicated on the pump is
maintained, regardless of the representations in the current flow diagram.

Operation
6 Operation
6.1 Before switching on the pump
Check the operating fluid level in the sightglass.
Compare the voltage and frequency information on the rating plate with the
mains voltage and frequency values.
Check that the exhaust connection allows free flow (max. permissible pressure
1.5 bar absolute).
– Activate the shut-off valves in such a way that they open before or at the same
time as the pump is started.
Protect the pump sufficiently from taking in contaminants by means of suitable
precautions (e.g. dust filters); if necessary, check operating fluid regularly or re-
place at shorter intervals.
6.2 Switching on the pump
The pump can be switched on in any pressure range.
No special precautions are necessary when pumping dry gases. In order to attain
the lowest possible final pressures, the gas ballast valve should be closed.
Switch on pump at main switch 15.
6.3 Pumping condensable vapours
Should the process gases contain condensable gases present at high percentages,
the rotary vane pump must be operated with a gas ballast (i.e. with an open gas
ballast valve).
Gas ballast valve,
standard version
To avoid condensation in the pump when pumping condensable vapours, ambient
air or alternatively inertgas is periodically fed into the working chamber at the be-
ginning of the compression phase via the gas ballast valve 42.
The gas ballast valve is closed when turning to the right to position 0 and open
when turning to the left to position 1. Intermediate settings are not possible.
CAUTION
Hot surface!
Danger of burns if hot parts are touched. Depending on the operating and ambient
conditions, the surface temperature of the pump may rise above 70 °C.
In this case, use suitable finger guards.
CAUTION
Bad final vacuum and damage to the pump!
Danger of condensation and corrosion due to exceeding the water vapour compatibi-
lity (see Technical data) during operation without a gas ballast or in case of insufficient
supply of flushing gas.
Only pump vapours when the pump is warm and the gas ballast valve is open.
When the process has been completed, allow the pump to continue running for
about 30 minutes with the vacuum flange closed and the gas ballast open for ope-
rating fluid regeneration purposes.

Operation
6.4 Switching off the pump
The pump can be switched off in any pressure range.
Rotary vane pumps have an integrated safety valve on the intake side. If the differ-
ential pressure between the exhaust side and the intake side is ≥250 mbar, then
the valve closes automatically and vents the pump when the pump is switched off.
Switch the pump off at the mains switch or disconnect from the mains in a secu-
re manner.
Venting the vacuum
chamber
Maintaining the va-
cuum in the chamber
CAUTION
Danger of backflow of operating fluid into the intake line!
Contamination of the connected vacuum system!
Vent the vacuum chamber within 30 s, regardless of the chamber size.
For a longer venting process, use an additional shut-off valve and shut off the intake
line after switching off the pump.
CAUTION
Danger of backflow of operating fluid into the intake line!
Contamination of the connected vacuum system!
Because the safety valve of the pump is not suitable for longer-term sealing, install
an additional shut-off valve in the intake line.
Shut off the intake line immediately after switching off the pump.
