Dear customer,
Your VACUUBRAND pumping unit is designed to provide you with many years of trouble-free service
with optimal performance. Our many years of practical experience allow us to provide a wealth of appli-
cation and safety information. Please read these instructions for use before the initial operation of your
pumping unit.
VACUUBRAND vacuum pumps combine our many years of experience in design, construction and
practical operation, with the latest developments in material and manufacturing technology.
Our quality maxim is the ”zero defect” principle:
Every vacuum pumping unit, before leaving our factory, is tested intensively, including an endurance run
of 24 hours. Any faults, even those which occur rarely, are identied and can be eliminated immediately.
After completion of the endurance run, every pumping unit is tested, and must achieve specications
before shipment.
We are committed to providing our customers only pumps that meet this high quality standard.
While our pumps cannot eliminate all of your work, we design, manufacture and test them to ensure that
they will be an effective and trouble-free tool to assist you in that work.
Yours,

Setting up and installing the equipment
➨Equipment must be connected only to a suitable electrical supply and a suit-
able ground point. As such, the plug must be plugged into an outlet that is proper-
ly grounded. Failure to connect the motor to ground may result in deadly electrical
shock.
The supply cable may be tted with a molded European IEC plug or a plug suit-
able for your local electrical supply. The cable contains wires color coded as fol-
lows: green or green and yellow: ground; blue or white: neutral; brown or black:
hot.
+Due to the high compression ratio, the pump may generate overpressure at the
outlet. Check pressure compatibility with system components (e.g., exhaust pipe-
line or exhaust valve) at the outlet.
+Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing. Make sure that the exhaust tub-
ing cannot become blocked to avoid a risk of bursting!
+Keep the electrical power cord away from heated surfaces.
• Provide a rm, level platform for the equipment. Check that the system which you
are going to evacuate is mechanically stable. Check that all ttings are secure.
Ensure a stable position of the pumping unit.
• Comply with maximum permissible pressures at inlet and outlet and with max-
imum permissible pressure differences between inlet and outlet. See section
“Technical data“. Do not operate the pump with overpressure at the inlet.
• Avoid overpressure of more than 1.2 bar absolute in the event that inert gas is
connected to the pump, to the gas ballast or to a venting valve.
• Note: Flexible elements will shrink when evacuated.
• Connect hoses gas tight at inlet and outlet of the pump.
• Ensure that no foreign objects can be drawn into the pump.
• Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate to be sure that the power
source and the equipment match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
• Use only oil of the recommended type. Other oils or operating uids may cause
damage of the pump or danger.
Use special oils for the rotary vane pump, if, e.g.,
- the pump operates in the vicinity of potential ignition sources.
- oxygen or other ammable gases account for a large proportion of the evacu-
ated gases.
• Under normal operation conditions, pump oils and lubricants are not toxic and
their use entails no danger. Certain hazards are, however, associated with some
of these products.
• Take adequate precautions when handling pump uids, lubricants, and solvents.
Use appropriate protective clothing, safety goggles and protective gloves to avoid
excessive contact with the skin and possible skin irritations (including dermatitis).
Do not inhale or swallow. Maintain adequate levels of hygiene and cleanliness.
Ensure that the pump location is well ventilated and that possible toxic effects of
certain vapors are avoided.
• Comply with all relevant statutory requirements and regulations concerning the
handling, storage and disposal of oil.
Attention! Do not allow oils to be poured into or enter the drainage system or
other bodies of water.
Spillage can cause accidents, use suitable means of removing spilled oil.

Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommended operating temperature.
Keep a minimum distance of 5 cm between the cooling fans and surrounding items
(e.g., housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external automatic ventilation system.
Check fans regularly for dust/dirt. Clean fan guard grills if necessary to avoid a re-
duction of ventilation.
Use only hoses at the inlet and outlet of the pump with an inner diameter at least as
large as the diameter of the pump’s tubing (to avoid overpressure at the outlet, and
reduction of pumping speed at the inlet).
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.
The ON/OFF-switches are located at the terminal box. At rst, switch on the rotary
vane pump (backing pump), then switch on the diffusion pump. The diffusion pump
can be switched on only if the backing pump has been switched on.
Comply with all applicable and relevant safety requirements (regulations and
guidelines). Implement the required actions and adopt suitable safety mea-
sures.
Ambient conditions
• Adopt suitable measures in case of differences from recommended conditions,
e.g., using the equipment outdoors, installation in higher altitudes, conductive
pollution or external condensation on the pump.
• Do not operate this product near ames.
To the best of our knowledge the equipment is in compliance with the requirements
of the applicable EC-directives and harmonized standards (see ”Declaration of Con-
formity”) with regard to design, type and model. Directive EN 61010-1 gives in detail
the conditions under which the equipment can be operated safely (see also IP de-
gree of protection).

• Do not pump substances which may form deposits inside the pump. The pumps
are not suitable for pumping substances which may form deposits inside the
pump. Deposits and condensate in the pump may lead to increased tempera-densate in the pump may lead to increased tempera-
tures even to the point of exceeding the maximum permitted temperatures. De-
posits may cause seizing of the pump unit.
• Check the inlet and outlet of the pump and its oil condition, if there is a danger of
forming deposits or corrosion inside the pump, e.g., in the pump unit. Inspect
the pump regularly and clean if necessary. In case, replace corroded parts or
change pump oil.
• Consider interactions and chemical reactions of the pumped media. Ensure
that the materials of the pump’s wetted parts are compatible with the pumped
substances, see section ”Technical data”.
When changing the substances pumped, we recommend purging the pump with
air or inert gas prior to changing the pumped media. Purging the pump will pump
out residues and it will reduce the possibility of reactions of the pumped sub-
stances with each other and with the pump’s materials or with the pump oil. If
necessary change oil before changing the pumped media.
Safety during operation
➨Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, toxic, explosive,
corrosive, noxious or polluting uids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission
of such substances from the pump outlet, install an appropriate collecting and
disposal system and take protective action for pump and environment.
➨You must take suitable precautions to prevent any formation of explosive mix-
tures inside the pump, in the oil reservoir, or at the outlet of the pump. In such
circumstances, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity
may ignite these mixtures. Use inert gas for gas ballast or venting, if necessary.
➨Drain appropriately or otherwise remove any potentially explosive mixtures at the
outlet of the pump, or dilute them to non-explosive concentrations.
➨Never operate this pump if it has a damaged cord or plug.
+Prevent any part of the human body from coming into contact with vacuum.
+If there is an exhaust isolation valve, make sure that you cannot operate the
equipment with the valve closed to avoid a risk of bursting!
+Always provide a free and pressureless exhaust outlet to avoid damage to the
pump and risk of bursting.
+Comply with applicable regulations when disposing of chemicals. Take into con-
sideration that chemicals may be contaminated. Take adequate precautions to
protect people from the effects of dangerous substances (chemicals, oil mist,
thermal decomposition products of uoroelastomers). Use appropriate protective
clothing and safety goggles.
+ Interruption of the pumping unit or of a pump (e.g., due to power failure), failure
of connected components or of parts of the supply, or change in parameters must
not be allowed to lead to dangerous conditions. In case of a leak in the manifold
or at the shaft seal, pumped substances might be released into the environment
or into the pump housing or motor.
Comply with all notes regarding proper use of the pumps, 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 vacuum system.
Adopt suitable measures to prevent contamination of the pumped substances or
the environment.
• Ensure that no parts of your clothing, hair or ngers can be caught or drawn in at
the inlet of the pump. Never insert ngers or drop any other object into the inlet or
outlet.
• Pumping at high inlet pressure may lead to overpressure at the gas ballast valve.
Pumped gases or condensate might be expelled if the valve is open. If an inert
gas supply is connected to the gas ballast, ensure that its inlet pipeline is not
contaminated.
• 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
arising from hot surfaces or electric sparks. During normal operation the diffusion
pump becomes very hot, especially the vacuum connection. Do not touch, risk of
burning! Avoid contacting or covering the pump with burnable material, or mate-
rial which may be damaged due to high temperature, e.g., electrical power cord.
Ensure that hot surfaces of the pump do not cause burns. Provide a suitable
contact guard if necessary.
Attention: If the maximum permissible inlet pressure or the backing pressure at
the diffusion pump are exceeded, pump uid might enter other parts of the vacuum
system.
Provide appropriate protective measures to allow for the possibility of failure and
malfunction. The protective measures must also allow for the requirements of the
respective application.
In case of overload, the motor of the rotary vane pump is shut down by a self-hold
thermal cutout in the winding.
Note: Only manual reset is possible. Switch off the pump and disconnect from the
power source. Identify and eliminate the cause of failure. Allow the pump to cool
down sufciently before restart.
In case of excess temperature the motor of the diffusion pump is shut down by a
safety switch.
• Attention: After cooling down, the heating of the diffusion pump restarts auto-
matically. Adopt suitable measures if a restart is a potential source of danger.
Maintenance and repair
In order to comply with laws (occupational, health and safety regulations, safety at
work law and regulations for environmental protection) vacuum pumps, components
and measuring instruments can only be returned when certain procedures (see sec-
tion ”Repair - Maintenance - Return - Calibration”) are followed.
➨Ensure that the pump cannot be operated accidentally. Never operate the pump
if covers or other parts of the pump are disassembled.
➨Switch off the pump. Disconnect the electrical power cord and wait two minutes
before starting maintenance to allow the capacitors to discharge.
➨Note: The pump may be contaminated with process chemicals, which have been
pumped during operation. Ensure that the pump is completely decontaminated

Use and operation
Setting up and installing
+Make sure ventilation is adequate, especially if the pump is installed in an en-
closure, or if the ambient temperature is elevated. Provide external ventilation, if
necessary.
• Reduce the transmission of vibration. Prevent mechanical load due to rigid pipe-
lines. Insert elastic hoses or exible elements as couplings between the pump
and rigid pipes.
Note: Flexible elements will compress or atten when evacuated if not designed
for use under vacuum.
• Hose connections at the pump inlet must always be gas tight.
• If the pump is installed at an altitude of more than 2000 m above mean sea level,
check compatibility with applicable safety requirements, and adopt suitable mea-
sures. There is a risk of the motor overheating due to insufcient cooling.
Keep a minimum distance of 5 cm between cooling fans and surrounding items (e.g.,
housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external automatic ventilation system.
Use connecting hoses with large diameter and keep them as short as possible to
avoid ow losses. Locate the pump as closely as possible to the application.
Always install outlet tubing descending from the pump or provide other measures to
avoid backow of condensate towards the pump.
NOTICE
Proceed strictly according to the given order and comply with the given time
and pressure data.
Switching on the pumping unit

Every employer (user) is held responsible for the health and safety of his employ-
ees. This also applies to service personnel performing repair, maintenance, return
or calibration.
The health and safety clearance form informs the contractor about any possible
contamination of the device and forms the basis for the risk assessment.
In case of devices which have been in contact with biological substances of
risk level 2 contact the VACUUBRAND service absolutely before dispatching
the device. These devices have to be completely disassembled and decon-
taminated by the user prior to shipment. Do not return devices which have
been in contact biological substances of risk level 3 or 4. These devices cannot
be checked, maintained or repaired. Also decontaminated devices must not returned
to VACUUBRAND due to a residual risk.
The same conditions apply to on-site work.
No repair, maintenance, return or calibration is possible unless the correctly
completed health and safety clearance form is returned. Devices sent are re-
jected if applicable. Send a completed copy of the health and safety clearance
form to us in advance. The declaration must arrive before the equipment. Enclose a
second completed copy with the product.
Remove all components from the device that are no original VACUUBRAND compo-
nents. VACUUBRAND will not be responsible for lost or damaged components that
are no original components.
Drain the device completely of uids and residues. Decontaminate the device.
Close all openings airtight especially if using substances hazardous to health.
To expedite repair and to reduce costs, please enclose a detailed description of the
problem and the product’s operating conditions with every product returned.
If you do not wish a repair on the basis of our quotation, the device may be returned
to you disassembled and at your expense.
In many cases, the components must be cleaned in the factory prior to repair.
For cleaning we use an environmentally friendly water based process. Unfortunately
the combined attack of elevated temperature, cleaning agent, ultrasonic treatment
and mechanical stress (from pressurised water) may result in damage to the paint.
Please mark in the health and safety clearance form if you wish a repaint at your
expense just in case such a damage should occur. We will also replace parts for cos-
metic reasons at your request and at your expense.
Before returning the device
Pack the device properly, if necessary, please order original packaging materials at
your costs.
Mark the package completely
Enclose the completed health and safety clearance form.
Notify the carrier of any possible contamination if required.
Scrapping and waste disposal
Dispose of the equipment and any components removed from it safely in accordance
with all local and national safety and environmental requirements. Particular care
must be taken with components and waste oil which have been contaminated with
dangerous substances from your processes. Do not incinerate uoroelastomer seals
and O-rings. You may authorize us to dispose of the equipment at your expense.
Otherwise we return the device at your expense.
