faces.
• Provide a rm, level platform for the equipment. En-
sure a stable position of the exhaust waste vapor con-
denser Peltronic®. Check that all ttings are secure.
• Comply with maximum permissible pressures at in-
let and outlet and with maximum permissible pres-
sure differences between inlet and outlet. See section
„Technical data“, pg. 22. Do not operate the exhaust
waste vapor condenser Peltronic® with overpressure
at the inlet.
• Check the power source and the condenser’s rating
plate to be sure that the power source and the equip-
ment match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
• Make sure the fan’s air supply is adequate, especially
if the exhaust waste vapor condenser Peltronic®is in-
stalled in an enclosure. Do not block ventilation slots.
• Connect hoses gas tight at inlet and outlet of the ex-
haust waste vapor condenser Peltronic®.
• Note: Flexible elements will shrink when evacuated.
Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommend-
ed operating temperature. Keep a minimum distance of
2 in (5 cm) between the cooling fan and surrounding items
(e.g., housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external auto-
matic ventilation system.
Check ventilation slots regularly for dust/dirt. Clean venti-
lation slots if necessary to avoid a reduction of ventilation.
Allow the equipment to equilibrate to ambient temperature
if you bring it from cold environment into a room prior to
operation. Notice if there is water condensation on cold
surfaces.
NOTICE

page 14 of 44
Use only hoses at the inlet and outlet of the condenser
with an inner diameter at least as large as the diameter of
the condenser’s connections (to avoid overpressure, and
reduction of throughput).
Comply with all applicable and relevant safety require-
ments (regulations and guidelines). Implement the re-
quired actions and adopt suitable safety measures.
Ambient conditions

➨The exhaust waste vapor condenser Peltronic®is not
approved for operation in potentially explosive atmo-
NOTICE

page 15 of 44
spheres. Do not operate the exhaust waste vapor
condenser Peltronic®in potentially explosive at-
mospheres.
➨Equipment without the ”`” mark on the rating plate
is not approved for the condensation of potentially
explosive atmospheres. Do not condense poten-
tially explosive atmospheres with this equipment.
➨Equipment bearing the ”`” mark on its rating plate
is approved for the condensation of potentially ex-
plosive atmospheres according to their ATEX clas-
sication imprinted on their rating plate, but it is not
approved for operation in potentially explosive at-
mospheres (see section ”` Important information:
Equipment marking (ATEX)”, pg. 20).
• Do not condense substances which may form de-
posits inside the exhaust waste vapor condens-
er Peltronic®. The exhaust waste vapor condenser
Peltronic® is not suitable for condensing substances
which may form deposits inside the condenser. De-
posits and condensate in the condenser may lead to
increased temperatures even to the point of exceeding
the maximum permitted temperatures.
• Check the inlet and outlet of the exhaust waste vapor
condenser Peltronic®, if there is a danger of forming
deposits inside the condenser. Inspect the exhaust
waste vapor condenser Peltronic® regularly and clean

pg. 22.
When changing the substances processed, we rec-
ommend purging the exhaust waste vapor condenser

page 16 of 44
Peltronic® with air or inert gas prior to changing the
processed media. Purging the exhaust waste vapor
condenser Peltronic® will clean it from residues and it
will reduce the possibility of reactions of the processed
substances with each other and with the condenser’s
materials.
Safety during operation
➨ Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan-
gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting
uids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission of
such substances from the condenser outlet, install an
appropriate collecting and disposal system and take
protective action for exhaust waste vapor condenser
Peltronic® and environment.
➨ You must take suitable precautions to prevent any for-
mation of explosive mixtures in the condenser or at its
outlet. In case, hot surfaces or static electricity may
ignite these mixtures.
➨ Drain appropriately or otherwise remove any potential-
ly explosive mixtures at the outlet of the condenser, or
dilute them to non-explosive concentrations.
➨ Never operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord
or plug.
+ If the condenser is not working properly, has been
dropped or has fallen into water, contact your service
provider.
+ Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become
blocked.

chemicals. Take into consideration that chemicals may
be contaminated. Take adequate precautions to pro-
tect people from the effects of dangerous substances

page 17 of 44
(chemicals, thermal decomposition products of uoro-
elastomers). Use appropriate protective clothing and
safety goggles.
+ Interruption of the equipment (e.g., due to power fail-
ure), failure of connected components or of parts of
the supply, or change in parameters must not be al-
lowed to lead to dangerous conditions. In case of a
leak in the manifold, processed substances might be
released into the environment.
Comply with all notes regarding proper use of the equip-
ment, as well as operation and maintenance guidance.
+ The residual leak rate of the equipment might render
possible an exchange of gas, albeit extremely slight,
between the environment and the system.
Adopt suitable measures to prevent contamination of
the processed substances or the environment.
• Pay attention to the safety symbol ”hot surfaces” on
the equipment. Hot parts may cause burns if touched.
Adopt suitable measures to prevent any danger aris-
ing from hot surfaces. Ensure that hot surfaces of the
condenser do not cause burns. Provide a suitable con-
tact guard if necessary.

` Important information: Equipment marking (ATEX)
VACUUBRAND equipment bearing the ATEX mark
(see rating plate)
The classication according to ATEX is only valid for the inner part (wet-
ted part, pumped gas or vapor) of the equipment. The equipment is not
suitable for use in external, potentially explosive atmospheres (environ-
ment).
The overall category of the equipment depends on the connected com-
ponents. If the connected components do not comply with the classi-
cation of the VACUUBRAND equipment, the specied category of the
VACUUBRAND equipment is no longer valid.
Vacuum pumps and vacuum gauges in category 3 are intended for con-
nection to equipment in which during normal operation explosive atmo-
spheres caused by gases, vapors or mists normally don’t occur; or, if they
do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently and for a short period only.
Equipment in this category ensures the requisite level of protection dur-
ing normal operation.
The use of gas ballast or the operation of venting valves is only permit-
ted if thereby explosive atmospheres normally don’t occur in the interior
of the equipment or, if they do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently
and for a short period.
The pumps are marked with ”X” (according to EN 13463-1), i.e., restric-
tions of the operation conditions:
• The equipment is designated for a low degree of mechanical stress
and has to be installed in a way so that it cannot be damaged from
outside.
Pumping units have to be installed so that they are protected against
shocks from the outside and against glass splinters in the event of
breakage (implosion).
