4.1 Safety
WARNING:
Ensure that the installaon technician is familiar with the safety procedures which
relate to the pump oil and the products handled by the pumping system.
WARNING:
If a hydrocarbon oil is used in this pump, do not use the pump to process oxygen in
concentraons greater than 25% in volume. If the oxygen concentraon is greater
than 25%, There is a risk of re or explosion in the oil-box of the pump.
WARNING:
Do not use the pumps to pump hazardous substances.
WARNING:
Obey the safety instrucons listed below and take note of appropriate precauons.
Failure to do so can cause injury to people and damage to equipment. Prevent any
part of the human body from coming into contact with the vacuum.
▪
Wear the appropriate safety clothing when coming into contact with contaminated
components is ancipated. Dismantle and clean contaminated components inside
a fume cupboard.
▪
Vent and purge the vacuum system before installaon work is started.
▪
Take suitable precauons to avoid the inhalaon of oil mist and excessive skin
contact with pump oil, as prolonged exposure can be harmful.
▪ Disconnect the other components in the pumping system from the electrical
supply so that they cannot be operated accidentally.
▪
Safely route any electrical supply cables so that they cannot accidentally trip
people.
▪
Ensure that the pump is suitable for the applicaon. If in doubt as to the suitability
of the pump for the applicaon, refer to our guidelines on vacuum pump and
vacuum system safety (refer to the Associated Publicaon at the end of the
contents list at the front of this manual) or contact us for advice.
4.2 System design
Consider the following points when designing the pumping system:
▪
We recommend the use of a foreline vacuum isolaon valve to allow the pump to
warm up before pumping condensable vapours or if a vacuum needs to be
maintained when the pump is not running.
