Outdoor/altitude operation
The vacuum pumps are designed according to IP2X classification. The electrical cabinet and motor are
designed according to IP54 classification. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be
taken; consult Atlas Copco.
The vacuum pumps can only be used in temperatures above 0 °C (+32 °F). If frost might occur, the
appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and its ancillary equipment. In this
case, consult Atlas Copco.
Also, if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
The vacuum pumps can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to damage the
bodywork during lifting or transport.
Lifting slots
Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing bolts. Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of
the frame. The vacuum pumps can also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots
Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be
held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the Vacuum pump. The lifting
equipment must be placed in such a way that the vacuum pump is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and
avoid twisting.
It is not allowed to lift the Vacuum pump if the canopy parts or lifting supports are not
completely installed. When the vacuum pump is being lifted, it is also forbidden to come
under the load or to perform maintenance activities to it.
Acclimatization
When moving the vacuum pump into an installation room, condensation can occur on some
components.
To avoid the dew from harming the electrical components, ensure at least 2 hours of
acclimatization before switching on the vacuum pump.
