Alcatel Vacuum Technology France --- IPUP A100 Instruction manual
Positioning the pump in the
pumping installation
l Pump performance will depend on the kind of accessories used
and the quality of the mechanical connections such as the pump
fittings.
l IPUP A100P pump models are typically used in corrosive
environments. Their reliability will depend on proper installation and
maintenance. When assembling the vacuum circuit, we
recommend installing maintenance accessories such as isolation
valves on the inlet, exhaust and purge lines.
l For safety reasons, the materials and sealing properties of the
accessories used on the inlet and exhaust lines must be compatible
with the gases being used.
HANDLING THE PUMP
Determine where the pump will be placed. Refer to the technical
specification section for dimensions, if needed (see A 40).
Use the handling devices to position the pump in the desired location
(see B 10).
POSITIONING THE PUMP
l The pump must operate in the horizontal position. It may not be
used standing on its end.
