2. Important safety information
2.1. General precautions
WARNING: AUTOMATIC RESTART AFTER VOLTAGE
FAILURE
Risk of injury and damage to equipment. If the machine is equipped
with an automatic restart after voltage failure function and if this
function is active, the machine will restart automatically when the
power is restored if it was running when the power was interrupted.
1. The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all
related work safety requirements and regulations.
2. If any of the following statements does not comply with the
applicable legislation, the stricter of the two shall apply.
3. The vacuum pump is designed for handling atmospheric air only.
No other gases, vapours or fumes should be exposed to the vacuum
pump intake or processed by the vacuum pump.
4. Before any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-
routine checks, stop the vacuum pump, press the emergency stop
button, switch off the voltage and make sure that the pump system
is at atmospheric pressure level. In addition, the power isolating
switch must be opened and locked.
5. Avoid contact with pump intake during operation.
6. The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in a safe
operating condition. Parts and accessories shall be replaced if
unsuitable for safe operation.
7. Do not walk or stand on the unit or its components.
2.2. Safety precautions during installation
The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in
accordance with the applicable safety regulations. Loose or pivoting
parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to
stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and
deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet
when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
1. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors,
special precautions must be taken, consult your supplier.
2. Place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as
possible. If necessary, install a suction duct. Do not obstruct the air
inlet. Water handling capacity is limited.
3. Blanking anges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed
before connecting the pipes.
4. Air hoses must be of the correct size and suitable for the working
pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or worn hoses. Distribution
03/2021 - ©DekkerPage 9300943860_A
300943860_A - Important safety information
pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for
the working pressure.
5. The aspirated air must be free of ammable fumes, vapours and
particles, e.g. paint solvents that can lead to internal re or
explosion.
6. Arrange the air intake such that loose clothing worn by people
cannot be sucked in.
7. No external force may be exerted on the inlet and outlet
connections, the connected pipes must be free of strain.
8. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign
stating:
DANGER: This machine is remotely controlled and may start
without warning.
The operator must make sure that the machine is stopped,
depressurised and that the electrical isolating switch is open, locked
and labelled with a temporary warning before any maintenance or
repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching remotely
controlled machines must take adequate precautions to make sure
that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this
end, a suitable notice shall be afxed to the start equipment.
9. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an
adequate ow of cooling air is available and that the exhausted air
does not recirculate to the inlet.
10. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes.
The machines must be earthed and protected against short circuits
by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be
installed near the pump.
11. On machines with an automatic start/stop system or if the
automatic restart function after voltage failure is activated, a sign
stating "This machine may start without warning" must be afxed
near the instrument panel.
12. In multiple vacuum pump systems, manual valves must be installed
to isolate each pump. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be
relied upon for isolating multiple systems.
13. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or
insulation installed on the machine.
14. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70 ˚C (158 ˚F)
and which may be accidentally touched by personnel in normal
operation must be guarded or insulated. Other high temperature
piping must be clearly marked.
15. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed
outside the machine has to be protected by a safety device with set
pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
16. If the ground is not level or has variable inclination, consult the
manufacturer.
17. Pump outlet air contains traces of oil mist. Make sure that it is
compatible with the working environment.
