VWR RV2.5+ - To Prevent Risk of Electrical Shock; To Prevent Risk of Explosion or Fire; Hazardous Substances

VWR Rotary Vane Pump ver 1.3 23.11.2020
CAUTION!
In normal use, it is sufficient to switch the vacuum pump off electrically. Additional
measures are not required. If condensable media have been pumped, the vacuum pump
must be run after pumping with the gas ballast valve open and the intake pipe closed,
see chapter 9.50 Operation with gas ballast when drawing off condensable vapours
1.30 To Prevent Risk of Electrical Shock
- The electrical power supply system must have a protective connector according to IEC 60364-4-41
(for CE operation only).
- Do not disassemble. Disassembly or attempted repairs if accomplished incorrectly can create
electrical shock hazard. Refer servicing to qualified service agencies only.
- Be sure to connect pumps to a properly installed outlet only.
- Do not use the pumps in areas in which it could come into contact with water.
- Do not reach for the pumps if it has fallen into liquid. Unplug immediately.
- Never operate the pumps outdoors in the rain or in a wet area.
1.40 To Prevent Risk of Explosion or Fire
- The pumps may heat up as a result of the temperature of the gas being pumped and through
intrinsic heating. Use suitable devices to prevent the maximum permissible temperatures. The limit
value are  40 °C for the ambient temperature.
- Do not use the pumps in explosive atmospheres.
- Do not use the pumps near open flames.
WARNING!
If aggressive or poisonous gases are used or occur, the user must recognize this state of
affairs and compensate for them by taking appropriate measures complying with the
relevant, currently valid regulations.
1.50 Hazardous Substances
CAUTION!
The operating company bears the responsibility for the use of the rotary vane pump.
Hazardous substances in the gases to be pumped can cause personal injuries and property damage. Pay
attention to the warning notices for handling hazardous substances. The local regulations apply in foreign
countries.
Combustible and explosive Gases
Examine before switching on whether that can form gas combustible gas/air mixtures which can be
promoted! Consider the regulations of the guideline 1999/92/EC. It is not permitted to pump gases that are
combustible or prone to explosion.
Aggressive gases
The rotary vane pumps are not certified according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU.
Poisonous gases
Use a separator when pumping poisonous or harmful gases. Prevent such substances from leaking out of
the appliance or pump. Treat these substances according to the applicable environmental protection
regulations. Test the strength and leak-tightness of the connecting lines and the connected apparatus.
Prevent environmental poisons, e.g. mercury, getting into the rotary vane pumps.
