T3 Temperature class. Pumps belonging to temperature class T3 must only be
operated with gases or vapors which exhibit an ignion temperature of over 200
°C.
3.2 Condions of safe use
The EDS pump must be operated in accordance with the denions of normal use and
operaonal limits as specied within this manual.
Accessories and addional parts ed to the EDS pump must full the requirements of the
ATEX Direcve 2014/34/EU regarding the equipment group and category and they must be
applicable for use in explosive atmospheres of the respecve gas group and temperature
class. Accessories and addional parts should be approved by Edwards otherwise they may
have a detrimental eect on the pump performance and safety.
The mandatory safety instruments specied in this manual must be used and must not be
replaced with alternaves from other manufacturers without consultaon with Edwards.
Only processes which fulll the condions of the normal operaon as specied in this
manual must be used.
EDS pumps must only be used on processes if their materials resist the mechanical and/or
chemical inuences and corrosion, under the respecve operang condions, so that the
explosion protecon is always maintained.
Means for prevenng back-ow of the pumped media must be used if back-ow can result
in process hazards.
Opening the EDS pump is only permied with the pump switched o, isolated from the
electrical supply and in the absence of explosive atmosphere.
Process limits
Inlet pressure: The range of allowable inlet pressures is 0 – 1013 mbar.
Exhaust pressure: The maximum allowable exhaust pressure is 1200 mbar for T3 pumps and
1100 mbar for T4 pumps.
Inlet gas temperature: The maximum allowable inlet gas temperature is 110 °C for inlet
pressures < 150 mbar, and 80 °C for inlet pressures > 150 mbar.
Safety instruments
Refer to Pump body thermal snap switch
(on page 34)
and install and connect all mandatory
safety switches.
