3 .Safety
iNote the safety precautions in chapters 6. Installation and connection,
and 7. Operation.
The pumps are built according to the generally recognized rules of
technology and in accordance with the occupational safety and
accident prevention regulations. Nevertheless, dangers can result
during their use which lead to injuries to the user or others, or to
damage to the pump or other property.
Only use the pumps when they are in a good technical and proper
working order, in accordance with their intended use, observing the
safety advice within the operating instructions, at all times.
Make sure that only trained and instructed personnel or specially
trained personnel work on the pumps. This especially applies to
assembly, connection and servicing work.
Make sure that the personnel has read and understood the operating
instructions, and in particular the “Safety” chapter.
Observe the accident prevention and safety regulations when
performing any work on the pump and during operation.
Do not expose any part of your body to the vacuum.
Open housing parts with notice sticker (see fig. 1) only after
separating mains plug from power source.
When transferring dangerous media, observe the safety regulations
when handling these media.
Be aware that the pumps are not designed to be explosion-proof.
Make sure the temperature of the medium is always sufficiently
below the ignition temperature of the medium, to avoid ignition or
explosion. This also applies for unusual operational situations.
Note that the temperature of the medium increases when the pump
compresses the medium.
Hence, make sure the temperature of the medium is sufficiently
below the ignition temperature of the medium, even when it is
compressed to the maximum permissible operating pressure of the
pump. The maximum permissible operating pressure of the pump
is stated in the technical specifications (see chapter 4).
If necessary, consider any external sources of energy, such as
radiation, that may add heat to the medium.
In case of doubt, consult the SLS customer service.
Store all replacement parts in a protected manner and dispose of them
properly in accordance with the applicable environmental protection
regulations. Observe the respective national and international regulations.
This especially applies to parts contaminated with toxic substances
.

WARNING
Hazard of the pump head bursting due to excessive
pressure increase
►Do not exceed max. permissible operating pressure
(see chapter 4).
►Monitor pressure during operation.
►If the pressure exceeds the maximum permissible
operating pressure, immediately shut down pump and
eliminate fault (see chapter 9. Troubleshooting).
►
Only throttle or regulate the air or gas quantity in the suction
line to prevent the maximum permissible operating pressure
from being exceeded.
►If the air or gas quantity in the pressure line is throttled or
regulated, make sure that the maximum permissible
operating pressure of the pump is not exceeded.
i
Excessive pressure (with all of the related hazards) can be prevented by placing
a bypass line with a pressure-relief valve between the pressure and suction side
of the pump. For further information, contact your SLS technical adviser.
► With the pump at a standstill, open pressure and suction lines to normal
atmospheric pressure.

SLS Lab Basics Mini Vacuum Pumps SLS2600/2602
WARNING
Automatic starting can cause personal injury and
pump damage
When the operation of the pump is interrupted by the
thermal switch, the pump will restart automatically
after cooling down.
►After triggering of the thermal protection or in the event of
power failure, remove the pump’s mains plug from the
socket so that the pump cannot start uncontrollably.
►Attempt work on the pump only if the pump is separated
from mains power.
7.3. Switching pump on and off
Switching pump on
iThe pump may not start up against pressure or vacuum during
switch-on. This also applies in operation following a brief power failure.
If a pump starts against pressure or vacuum, it may block. This
activates the thermal switch, and the pump switches off.
►Make sure that no vacuum or pressure is present in the lines
during switch-on.
►Switch on pump with mains switch (see fig. 2).
Switching off the pump/removing from operation
►When transferring aggressive media, flush the pump prior to switch-off
to increase the service life of the diaphragm (see chapter 8.2.1).
