LABOPORT Pumps and Systems Use
Translation of original Operating Instructions, english, KNF 121211-121345 01/10 5
2. Use
2.1. Proper Use
The pump/system is exclusively intended for transferring gases
and vapors.
Owner's responsibility
Only install and operate the pump/system under the operating
parameters and conditions described in chapter 5, Technical data.
Make sure that the installation location is dry and the pump/system
is protected against rain, splash, hose and drip water.
Before using a medium, check the compatibility of the materials of
the pump head, diaphragm and valves with the medium.
Before using a medium, check whether the medium can be trans-
ferred danger-free in the specific application case.
Only transfer gases which remain stable under the pressures and
temperatures occurring in the pump.
The high performance condenser must be installed on the outlet
side of the pump; if it is installed on the inlet side there is a danger
of implosion.
Observe the correct usage of the gas- and cooling liquid-
connections on the high performance condenser. Inlet and outlet
connections for the gas are not interchangeable.
Laboratory equipment or additional components connected to a
pump/system have to be suitable for use with the pneumatic capa-
bilities of the pump (see chapter 5.1, page 10).
2.2. Improper Use
The pump/system may not be operated in an explosive atmos-
phere.
The pump/system is not suitable for transferring dusts.
The pump/system is not suitable for transferring liquids.
For LABOPORT systems with vacuum controller: The vacuum
system must not be used if the entry of air or gas into the vacuum
system during venting (pump vent valve) could result in the crea-
tion of reactive, explosive or otherwise hazardous mixtures (e.g.
with the medium).
The pump/the system must not be used to create vacuum and
overpressure simultaneously.
An overpressure must not be applied to the suction side of the
pump/ the system.
