HAZARD CAUSED BY VACUUM
Any contact with parts under vacuum can cause injuries.
Avoid any contact with the pump inlet port during the pump operation. Introduce air in
the inlet circuit before every operation cycle.
FOR A SAFE MAINTENANCE
All maintenance operations must be carried out with the pump idle, disconnected from
the electrical supply, with the pump cold, vented to atmospheric pressure. Prevent
unexpected start-up (e.g. block the power switch with a personal lock).
ELECTRIC SAFETY
Some components of the electric equipment are electrically charged during operation.
Any contact may cause serious injuries to persons or objects.
Connection and control of the electric system must be carried out by skilled personnel
only.
The electrical equipment must comply with the EN 60204-1 standard and with any other
law in force in the Country of use.
Besides, electrical equipment must comply with EN 61000-6-4 and EN 61000-6-2
standards concerning electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic immunity
for industrial environment.
FIRE HAZARD
WARNING! The use of the pump in situations unforeseen or not recommended by this
manual, as well as lack of correct maintenance, may create high risks for overheating
or fire.

5.1 Location
Install the pump so that the inlet (5) and the outlet (6) are at least 20 cm away from
the closest walls.
Oilfillingport(1),oil sight glasses(2)andoildrainageports(3)mustbeeasilyaccessible.
5.2 Electric connection
The control panel and electric connections must be carried out by skilled personnel
and conform to the EN 60204-1 rules or to other local regulations in the Country of use.
The electric equipment must comply with EN 61000-6-4 and EN 61000-6-2 standard
concerning electromagneticcompatibility,emissionstandardandimmunityforindustrial
environments.
Check the main voltage and frequency in use to correspond to the data stamped on the
motor name plate.
The electric motor must be protected against overload.The full load amperage value on
the motor name plate must be considered when sizing the electrical components and
motor protection against overloading.
Make sure the grounding is correctly done.
Carry outtheelectricconnectionfollowingthediagramshownon the motor terminal box.
Checkdirectionofrotationbystartingthepumpforashorttime (2-3seconds).Thecorrect
direction is shown by the arrow on the pump. In case of wrong rotation, it is necessary
to change the motor rotation by exchanging position of two of the three connections in
the motor terminal box.

5.3 Connection to the machine
The connection to the chamber to be pumped down must be carried out by means of
pipes of the same diameter as the inlet port.
Pipe weights and expansions, if any, must not rest on the pump.
It is advisable to make the final connection to the pump inlet port with flexible pipes or
fittings.
It is important that all the pipes and the dierent fittings are tight.
Very long or small diameter pipes decrease the pump performances.
This symbol identifies the inlet port.
For further information, please refer to the RDT attached herewith.
5.4 Discharge air pipe line installation
If the pump has been installed in a room with poor air exchange, it is possible to pipe the
pump discharge air to other rooms or outside.
Use pipes with the same diameter as the tank discharge port with a maximum length
of 15 m.
For longer pipes increase pipe diameter. Pipe weights must not rest on the pump.
In the final length use flexible pipes or pipe fittings.
NOTE:
this pipe must be descending, to avoid the condensate going back to the tank.
WARNING:
do not connect ball valves to this pipeline.
This symbol identifies the exhaust port.
For further information, please refer to the RDT attached herewith.
5.5 Commissioning
a) Fill oil through the oil filler port (1) until the middle level of the oil sight glass (2).
b) Switch the motor on for a few seconds so that to check the direction of rotation.
c) Connect the intake piping to the fitting (7).
The vacuum relief valve (8) allows to manually regulating the vacuum.
ATTENTION:
Do not remove the vacuum relief valve; Do not operate the pump continuously
below 150 mbar for DRY 100 pump and below 200 mbar for DRY250 / DRY 300.
Continuous operation at lower pressures may result in serious pump damage

5.6 Tips for using
Do not exceed 10 starting/hour. For more frequent starting, install a soft-start device.
Air can be discharged to the atmosphere through a discharge silencer or it can be piped
else-where. Pump performance decreases if the pipelines are too small or too long.
6. Maintenance and spare parts
6.1 Maintenance
All maintenance operations must be carried out with the pump idle, disconnected form
the elec-trical supply, with the pump cold, vented to atmospheric pressure.
