DANGERDANGER
Hazardous substances could be discharged at
the outlet.
During aspiration, hazardous, toxic substances at the
outlet can get into the ambient air.
> Observe the relevant safety regulations for safe
handling of hazardous substances.
> Please note that residual process media may pose a
danger to people and the environment.
> Mount and use suitable separators, lters or fume
hood devices.
>Prevent the release of hazardous, toxic, explosive, corrosive
uids, gases or vapors or those that are harmful to health or
the environment, for example, through suitable laboratory
facilities with a fume hood and ventilation control.
Hazards due to di󰀨erent substances
Pumping di󰀨erent substances or media can cause the substances
to react with one another.
>Be aware of interactions and possible chemical reactions of
the pumped media.
>Dry the vacuum pump with ambient air before changing the
medium to be pumped. Use the regeneration mode of the
vacuum pump for this purpose
see chapter: 5.2.2 Regeneration mode on page 475.2.2 Regeneration mode on page 47.
2.4.42.4.4 Chemical compatibility of materialsChemical compatibility of materials
Working materials which get into the vacuum pump with the gas
ow can damage the vacuum pump. Substances can be deposited
in the vacuum pump.
>Check the compatibility of the pumped substances with the
wetted materials of the vacuum pump
see chapter: 8.1.3 Wetted materials on page 838.1.3 Wetted materials on page 83 and

Safety information
2.4.52.4.5 Eliminate sources of dangerEliminate sources of danger
Connect the tubing correctly
No inadmissible pressure must be created at the vacuum pump
outlet. If the back pressure at the outlet is inadmissibly high,
pumped media may escape, see chapter: 8.1.1 Technical data8.1.1 Technical data
on page 78on page 78.
>Always ensure that the outlet line is clear and has no back
pressure. The outlet must not be blocked, to ensure that
gases can exit freely.
>Prevent uncontrolled overpressure (e.g., due to a locked or
blocked piping system, condensate, or clogged outlet line).
>At the gas connections, the connections for the inlet and
outlet must not be mixed up. The inlet is indicated by a
directional arrow on the connecting ange.
>Observe the maximum pressures at the inlet and outlet of the
vacuum pump, as specied in chapter 8.1.1 Technical data8.1.1 Technical data
on page 78on page 78.
>The system to be evacuated as well as all hose connections
must be mechanically stable.
>Attach hoses to optional hose nozzles (e.g., vapor condenser,
adapters at pump connections) so that they do not come
loose unintentionally.
Sealing gas to protect the vacuum pump
To protect the bearings of the vacuum pump, a permanent gas
ow (ambient air sucked in inside the pump casing, hereinafter
referred to as sealing gas) is added at the outlet side of the suction
chamber. This mixes with the pumped media and is conveyed to
the pump outlet. Pumped media can form reactive mixtures with
the sealing gas (ambient air).
>Do not use the vacuum pump in processes in which the
pumped media can form an explosive mixture with air.
Avoid overpressure
Sealing gas supply

20 20901224_EN_VACUU·PURE 10C_V1.8_221122
Safety information
Danger when using regeneration mode
During regeneration mode, ambient air passes through the pump
unit. Pumped media can form reactive mixtures with ambient air.
>Make sure that the pumped media combined with air never
leads to reactive, explosive, or otherwise dangerous mixtures.
Prevent condensate return
Condensate in the outlet line can damage the vacuum pump.
Condensate must not ow back into the outlet or vacuum pump
through the hose line. Liquid must not accumulate inside the
outlet line.
>Preferably route the outlet line with a fall from the outlet, i.e.,
running downward so that no backup forms.
Prevent foreign bodies inside the pump
Particles and dust must not enter the vacuum pump during normal
operation.
>Do not pump any substances which could form deposits
inside the vacuum pump.
>Install suitable lters upstream of the inlet. Suitable lters are
chemically resistant, clog‑proof and have a reliable ow rate,
for example.
>Replace porous vacuum hoses without delay.
