Safety information
Intended use
The information in this chapter must be observed by everyone who works with the
product described here. The safety information is valid for the entire life cycle of the
product and for all manual modules.
The vacuum pumping unit of the
VAC 24sevenVAC 24seven
product series consists of a control
module and up to 3 pump modules and is designed for the generation of vacuums
in industrial systems. The vacuum pumping unit may only be used indoors in a non-
explosive atmosphere.
Any other use is considered improper use.

The safety and protection of individuals has top priority. Activities and processes
which represent a potential safety hazard are not permitted.
>Use the vacuum pumping unit only if you have read the manual and under-
stood the functioning of the machine.
Always be conscious of safety and work in a safe manner. Observe instructions is-
sued by the operator, and national regulations on accident prevention and industrial
safety.

The ATEX equipment category of the product is dependent on the connected com-
ponents and peripheral devices. Components and connected peripherals need to
have the same or higher ATEX approval. Without concordant categorization of pe-
ripherals,thespeciedcategoryoftheVACUUBRANDequipmentlosesitsvalidity.
The use of venting valves is only permitted if this would not normally, or only rarely,
cause explosive mixtures within the interior wetted part of the VAC 24seven, or do
so only for a short time.

spheres will occur in the interior of the equipment.
After any work on the vacuum sensor, check its leakage rate.
Information on the ATEX equipment category is also available on our website at:
VACUUBRAND/Anwendungen/Zulassung ATEX-Gerätekategorie 3
Meaning for devices marked with X:
The devices have a low mechanical protection and must be installed so that they
cannot be mechanically damaged from the outside; e.g., installing pump stations
withimpactprotection,attachingshatterprotectionforglassasks,etc.
The devices are designed for an ambient and media temperature of +10 °C to
+40 °C during operation. These ambient and media temperatures must never be
exceeded. When conveying/measuring non-explosive gases, extended gas suc-
tion temperatures apply, see chapter: Technical data pump module, media tem-
perature (gas).

Quality standards and
safety
Products from are subject to stringent quality
testing with regard to safety and operation. Each product undergoes a comprehen-
sive test program prior to delivery.
Despite this, when using the product unforeseen problems might occur that could
result in injury or damage to property. Compare the following sources of danger and
take appropriate safety measures for protection.
For the operation in uncritical environment no special protective clothing is required.
Observe the operator regulation for workplaces for wearing special protective cloth-
ing.
During cleaning we recommend wearing chemical-resistant protective gloves, pro-
tective clothing and protective goggles.
>Observe the national regulations for decontamination.
>When handling chemicals, wear your personal protective equipment.
Particles, liquids, and dust must not get inside vacuum pumping unit.
>If necessary, install suitable separators upstream of the inlet of the vacuum
system.

The high compression ratio of the pump may result in a higher pressure at the outlet
than the mechanical stability of the system allows.
Do not mix up the inlet/outlet (IN/EX) connections at the connections.
>Avoid overpressure at the suction connection; max. 1.1 bar absolutely admis-
sible.
>Make sure that the system to be evacuated and all hose connections are
mechanically stable.
