16. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge and the
inside of the oil separator vessel for carbon deposits. If there is excessive
carbon deposits, remove the carbon deposits.
17. Install protection to the motor, electrical and regulating components to prevent
damage from moisture when the pump is cleaned (for example, steam
cleaning).
18. Make sure that the sound‑damping material and vibration dampers of the
pump (for example, the sound‑damping material on the body and in the air
inlet and outlet systems) are in serviceable condition. Replace all damaged
material with genuine material from the manufacturer.
19. Do not use caustic solvents which can damage the materials of the air net (for
example, polycarbonate bowls).
20. Faults or wearing of seals can cause leakage of oil lubricant. Prevent the
dispersion in soil and pollution of the other materials.

2.1. Vacuum and flow rate
A vacuum is a pressure in a system that is less than the ambient atmospheric
pressure. It can be shown in absolute terms or in effective gauge terms:
▪ mbar(a) - the absolute pressure shows how much the pressure is above the
absolute zero vacuum.
▪ (minus) mbar(e) - the effective or gauge pressure shows how much the
pressure is below the local atmospheric pressure.
1950840124_A Page 13
General description
2.2. Introduction
The pumps are single‑stage, oil‑sealed screw pumps driven by an electric motor.
The pumps are controlled by our controller.
The controller is attached to the front door. An electric cabinet is installed behind
the front door. The electric cabinet contains fuses, transformers, relays, etc.
The pumps use Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology. The VSD technology
helps to automatically adjust the motor speed as necessary.
The pumps are available as air‑cooled, water‑cooled and energy recovery
versions. The pumps have a sound‑insulated canopy.

General description
Air flow
Air comes in through the air intake filter and is displaced by the pump element. A
mixture of air and oil flows into the oil separator tank. After passing the air/oil
separator filter, clean air, conditioned to a few parts per million, is released
through the outlet.
Oil system
The oil separator tank removes most of the oil from the air/oil mixture by the
centrifugal action. The oil separator removes the remaining oil. The oil collects in
the lower part of the oil separator tank.
The oil system has a thermostatic bypass valve. When the oil temperature is less
than 83 °C (181 °F) (87 °C (189 °F) for the optional high‑water handling capacity
versions), the bypass valve stops the oil supply from the air/oil cooler or water/oil
cooler.
The air pressure pushes the oil from the oil separator tank through the oil filter.
The air/oil cooler or water/oil cooler is bypassed. When the oil temperature
1950840124_A Page 18
General description
increases up to 83 °C (181 °F) (87 °C (189 °F) for the optional high‑water
handling capacity versions), the bypass valve starts the supply from the air/oil
cooler or water/oil cooler. At approximately 95 °C (203 °F) (104 °C (219 °F) for
the optional high‑water handling capacity versions), all the oil flows through the
air/oil cooler or water/oil cooler. The filtered oil flows into the pump element.
Cooling
The cooling system has an air/oil cooler or water/oil cooler.
The fan blows air over the air/oil cooler. The fan is set to on or off, depending on
the operating conditions, as per the specific algorithm.
1. Drain point
1950840124_A Page 19
General description
Turbo version
The regulation system of the turbo version can handle fast cycling duties. When
the vacuum pressure reaches the set‑point, the regulator will keep the motor
operating at increased speed for an adjustable time before the regulator
decreases the motor speed.
Electrical diagrams
You can find the electrical diagram in the electric cabinet.
1950840124_A Page 20
Elektronikon® graphic controller
Shutdown
The pump has sensors to detect the pump performance parameters. If any
parameter is more than the programmed shutdown limit, the pump will stop. A
fault code will be shown on the display and a general alarm LED flashes. To
restart the pump you must correct the fault and reset the fault code. Refer to
Inputs menu on page 31.
Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning limit is a programmable limit below the shutdown limit.
1950840124_A Page 21
Elektronikon® graphic controller
Warning
A warning message shows if:
▪ Element outlet temperature is too high
▪ Pump discharge pressure is too high
▪ Purge cycle was not completed (temperature has not reached the value in the
given time).
Service warning
Specified service operations are put together in service plans. Each service plan
has a programmed time interval (service interval). All the service operations must
be done before the end of the service interval. If the service interval elapses and
a service operation are not done, a message will be shown on the display to do
the applicable service operations.
The controller has an ARAVF function which automatically restarts the pump, if
the voltage is reconnected after voltage failure. Initially this function does not
operate. If you want the ARAVF function to operate, contact our customer centre.

Note:
- The voltage on the pump terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
- It is recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables at nominal
current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204‑1).
- If cables are grouped together with other power cables, it can be necessary to
use cables of a larger size than those calculated for the standard operating
conditions.
- Use the original cable entry. Refer to Figure: Dimension drawing.
- To keep the IP protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a correct
cable gland when you connect the supply cable to the pump.
- Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values given in
the manual.

▪ Add 10% to the total pump current (Itot from the tables) and divide by 2
▪ Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (refer to table A.52.17
(52‑E1))
▪ Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size
on each cable.
▪ When using 2 x 3 phases + PE as in (3):
▪ Add 10% to the total pump current (Itot from the tables) and divide by
√3
▪ Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (refer to table A.52.17
(52‑E1))
▪ Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on
each cable.
▪ Size of the PE cable:
▪ For supply cables up to 35 mm²: same size as supply cables
▪ For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires
▪ Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5% of the
nominal voltage is recommended).
▪ Example: Itot= 89 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C,
recommended fuse = 100 A
▪ Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
▪ I = 89 A + 10% = 89 x 1.1 = 97.9 A
▪ The table for B2 and ambient temperature = 45 °C permits a maximum
current of 93 A for a 50 mm² cable. For a cable of 70 mm², the
maximum permitted current is 118 A, which is sufficient. Use a
3 x 70 mm² + 35 mm² cable.
If method C is used, 50 mm² is sufficient. (35 mm² for method F) =>cable
3 x 50 mm² + 25 mm².
▪ Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
▪ I = (89 A + 10%)/2 = (89 x 1.1)/2 = 49 A
▪ For a cable of 25 mm², B2 at 45 °C, the maximum current is
63 A x 0.8 = 50.4 A. So, 2 parallel cables of 3 x 25 mm² + 25 mm² are
sufficient.
▪ Install 50 A fuses on each cable instead of 100 A.

Note:
A sufficient space is necessary (1 m of clearance on all sides and top of the
pump) for the safe and correct installation, daily inspection and maintenance.
1950840124_A Page 97
Installation
6.3. Piping
The vacuum distribution and piping system, including the pump and all related
components, must be designed in accordance with generally accepted
engineering practices. For example, inlet pipe work should slope away from the
pump. Incorrectly designed distribution systems can cause the damage to the
pump. Exhaust pipes should be installed in such a way that they do not create
additional back pressure on the pump.
The exhaust pipes should be installed sloping away from the pump.
A drip leg with a drain point provision is given in the pump to prevent the
condensate to go back into the fluid reservoir.
Take precautions to prevent the installation of the pipes in a strain with the pump.
Use sufficient pipe diameter for the vacuum network. The combination of
restrictive pipe diameter and long pipes can create a pressure drop. For the
single pump installation, keep the diameter of the pump inlet as far into the
process as possible.
We recommend to install an isolation valve at the inlet of the pump to isolate the
pump from vacuum distribution and piping system before you do the
maintenance.
The discharge air can have temperature up to 120 °C (248 °F), make sure that
the pipes can take this temperature.
The external force extended on the inlet connection is limited to 200 kg. The
external force extended on the outlet connection is limited to 50 kg. The
connection pipes must be free from strain.
The pump has an inlet filter. But related to the application, an additional inlet
filtration upfront the pump can be necessary.
We recommended to install an isolation valve at inlet and outlet of the air and
water pipes to isolate the pump from the vacuum distribution and piping system
before you do the maintenance.
Remove the dust caps from the cooling water inlet and outlet. Connect the water
hoses to the water inlet and outlet ports. Check the water hoses, pipelines and
connections that there are no leaks.
6.4. Ventilation
Install the inlet grids and the ventilation fan to prevent the recirculation of the
cooling air to the inlet grating of the pump. The air velocity to the grids must not
be more than 5 m/s.
The maximum air temperature at the intake opening for 3 ph is 46 °C (115 °F)
and for 1 ph is 32 °C (90 °F), (minimum 0 °C / 32 °F).
The ventilation alternative 1 and 3: The necessary ventilation to limit the pump
room temperature is calculated from:
Qv = SF * Pnom / (1.21 * dT)
Where,
1950840124_A Page 98
Installation
Outdoor/altitude operation
The pumps are designed according to the IP2X classification. The electrical
cabinet and motor are designed according to the IP54 classification. If the pump
is installed outdoors, special precautions must be taken. Contact us.
The pumps can only be used in temperatures above 0 °C (+32 °F). If frost
occurs, take applicable protective steps to prevent damage to the pump and its
ancillary equipment. In this case, contact us.
If it is necessary to operate the pump at more than 1000 m (3300 ft), contact us.
▪ Use correct lifting equipment (fork-lift truck or pallet truck) to move the pump
on its pallet, near to the installation area.
▪ The pumps can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame.
▪ Lift the pump vertically.
▪ Carefully lift the pump without twisting.
▪ Before lifting, install the transport securing bolts.
▪ Make sure that the forks extend to the other side of the frame.
▪ The pumps can also be lifted after you insert beams in the slots.
▪ Make sure that the beams do not slide and extend uniformly from the frame.
▪ Hold the chains parallel to the bodywork by the chain spreaders to prevent
damage to the pump.
1950840124_A Page 99
Installation
6.6. Acclimatization
When you move the pump to the installation room, condensation can occur on
some components. Make sure that the pump is left idle for minimum 2 hours to
adjust in the installation room condition.
Most pumps are designed for use in TT/TN networks and are intended for an
industrial environment where the electrical supply is separated from the
residential/commercial supply network.
To use the pump in light industrial, commercial or residential environments with a
shared supply network, or in an IT network, extra precautions are necessary.
Contact us for information.
Note:
You can find the correct position for the electrical connection on the dimension
drawings.
A correct cable gland must be used when the supply cable is connected to the
pump. This will give the necessary protection to the electrical cubicle and its
components from dust.
1. Install an isolating switch.
2. Check that the motor cables and wires in the electric cabinet are connected to
their terminals.
3. Check the fuses. Refer to Electrical cable size on page 76.
4. Connect the power supply cables to the terminals (1, 3 and 5).
5. Connect the earth conductor to the earth bolt.
Install the transformer bridge on the primary winding side of the transformer,
installed in the electrical cubicle, as shown on the transformer (also shown here)
for the applicable supply voltage. Initially, the pumps have 400 V supply voltage
setting.
▪ Remote control: The pump accepts the command signals from the external
switches (remote control). It also accepts the command signals from the
emergency stop, start and stop command signals from the clock function.
▪ LAN control: The pump is controlled through a local network. Contact us.
Note:
Modifications must be approved by us.
Stop the pump and switch off the voltage before external equipment is
connected.
Only potential‑free contacts are permitted.
