WARNING: INCORRECT USE OF EQUIPMENT
Risk of injur
y or damage to the equipment. Incorrect use of the equipment can cause
damage to the equipment or injury to people. The user is responsible for the safe
operaon, installaon and monitoring of the system.
CAUTION: GAS BALLAST INSTALLATION
Risk of damage to the equipment. If water vapor is present within the system, or is
pumped by the product the gas ballast must be used to prevent damage to the
product. The gas ballast should connue to be applied with the pump running, for at
least 1 hour aer the water vapor source has been removed to enable the pump to
dry.
The nXRi product family is a range of dry, mul-s
tage roots vacuum pumps that oers
high pumping speed in a compact form. The pump is connected by a power cord and is
designed for use on clean duty applicaons.
The cord rangs are:
Supply voltage (V)
Current (A) Frequency (Hz)
100 ‑ 127 14
50 or 60
200 ‑ 240 7
The pump is not designed for use with ammable, c
orrosive, toxic or other hazardous
gases. Gas or oxygen can mix in the pump system.
The dry pumping system can be used in either transient or steady state gas load
condions. The pump can sustain connuous operaon with a maximum power
consumpon of 850 W. When the load is more than 850 W motor power the speed
temporarily reduces.When high load passes the motor speed is increased, or when the
transient overload protecon has recovered. Refer to Table: Performance data for
informaon on maximum inlet pressure.
Refer to Figure: nXRi pumps, the system is supplied with either a NW25, NW40 inlet port
(1) and a NW25 exhaust port (10).
The pump mechanism is operated by an electric motor driven by an internal pump
controller. The rotaonal elements of the pumping mechanism are simply supported at
the end by lubricated bearings. PFPE lubricant is used and this is contained in both the
gearbox and motor ends of the pump module, these are "sealed for life" and the
lubricant does not need to be replaced unl the pump service interval is reached.
The system is air cooled by a fan installed internally in the pump enclosure. The pump
has a thermal protecon device that will stop the motor if a thermal overload, for
example in high ambient temperature occurs. You must restart the pump aer the pump
is cooled down.
