The pump is suitable for use with Edwards Rotary Vane, Scroll or diaphragm backing pumps.
System performance may depend upon which pump is used. Contact Edwards when selecng
an appropriate backing pump for the applicaon.
WARNING:
The customer must ensure safe ducng of the backing line if oil mist or hazardous
substances are present.
WARNING:
The pump must not be operated or vented from a posive pressure gas supply when the
backing line is restricted or blocked.
CAUTION:
Do not use the pump with a backing pressure below 5 x 10
-4
mbar (5 x 10
-2
Pa). Lower
backing pressures will increase the evaporaon rate of the lubricang oil reducing the
bearing life.
Use suitable vacuum tubing and connectors to connect the NW25 ange of the backing port to
the backing pump. If necessary, use exible pipe or bellows to reduce the transmission of
vibraon from the backing pump to the pump.
