that the pump can not slip. Before connecting the TRIVAC-B, remove the shipping

Observe the direction arrow on the coupling
housing. Avoid exposure of any part of the body to
the vacuum. There is the danger of injury.
Never operate the pump with an open inta-
ke port. Vacuum connections as well as oil-
fill and oil-drain openings must never be
opened during operation.
The safety regulations which apply to the
application in each case must be observed.
This applies to installation, operation and
during maintenance (service) as well as
waste disposal and transportation.
The standard pump is not suited for pum-
ping of hazardous gases or vapours.

advice in these matters.

Operation

2.4.1 Areas of Application

Caution The pump is not suitable for pumping of:
- ignitable and explosive gases or vapours
- oxidants
- pyrophorous gases.

The pumps are not suitable for pumping of

liquids or very dusty media. Suitable pro-
tective devices must be installed.
Our technical sales department is available for further
advice in these matters.

2.4.2 Remarks for Pumps with

EExe II T3-Motors
There are no objections against using the vacuum pump
in an explosion hazard area of ZONE 1, a temperature
class T3 and explosion group IIB provided the following
conditions will be fulfilled:
Caution
Install a suitable motor protection switch in
front of the vacuum pump’s electric motor. If
the vacuum pump is supplied as ready-to-
plug-in unit the customer himself must
install the motor protection switch and in a
pressure-resistant encapsulation version.

If the vacuum function fails the vacuum

pump must be switched off automatically
via an interruption of the power supply.

Due to the measures taken the vacuum

pump is not suited to pump oxygen and
explosive atmosphere.

accordance with Section 2.5.2. There is the danger of receiving burns.

2.5.2 Pumping of Condensable Gases and

Vapours
With the gas ballast valve open and at operating tempe-
rature, TRIVAC-B pumps can pump pure water vapour
up to the water vapour tolerance specified by the techni-
cal data. If the vapour pressure increases above the per-
missible level, the water vapour will condense in the oil
of the pump.
When pumping vapours ensure that the gas ballast valve
is open and that the pump has been warmed up for
approximately 30 minutes with the intake line closed.

Attention Vapour phases may only be pumped up to

the permissible limit after the pump has
attained its operating temperature.

During pumping, vapours may dissolve in

the oil. This changes the oil properties and
thus there is a risk of corrosion in the pump.
Therefore, don’t switch off the pump imme-
diately after completion of the process.
Instead, allow the pump to continue opera-
ting with the gas ballast valve open and the
intake line closed until the oil is free of con-
densed vapours. We strongly recommend
operating the TRIVAC-B in this mode for
about 30 minutes after completion of the
process.

In cyclic operation, the TRIVAC-B should not be swit-

ched off during the intervals between the individual wor-
king phases (power consumption is minimal when the
pump is operating at ultimate pressure), but should con-
tinue to run with gas ballast valve open and intake port
closed (if possible via a valve).
