Operation
2.1 Installation
The standard pump (except the versions
equipped with an explosion hazard rated
motor) is not suited for installation in explo-
sion hazard areas. Pumps equipped with
EExcIIT3 motors may only be used in type
2 areas. When planning such an application
please contact us first.
The TRIVAC-B pump can be set up on a flat, horizontal
surface. Rubber feet under the coupling housing ensure
that the pump can not slip.
If you wish firmly install the pump in place, insert bolts
through bore holes in the rubber feet.
Max. tilt for the pump (without further
attachment) with possibly fitted standard
accessories is 10° from the vertical.
The rubber feet act as vibration absorbers.
They must therefore not be compressed by
screws. When installing the TRIVAC-B
pump, make sure that the connections and
controls are readily accessible.
The site chosen should allow adequate air
circulation to cool the pump (keep front and
rear unobstructed). The ambient temperatu-
re should not exceed +40 °C (104 °F) and
not drop
below +12 °C (55 °F) (see Section 2.5.3).
The max. amount of heat given off approxi-
mately corresponds to the rated motor
power.
2.2 Connection to the
System
Before connecting the TRIVAC-B, remove the shipping
seals from the connection flanges (7/2) and (7/3).
Retain the shipping seals in case you need
to store the pump in the future.
The pump is shipped with intake and exhaust flanges
mounted for horizontal connection of the connecting
lines. You can easily convert the ports for vertical
connection by removing the four capscrews, rotating the
flanges as required, and reinstalling the capscrews.
Connect the intake and exhaust lines with a centering
ring and a clamping ring each. Use the centering ring
with dirt trap for the intake port.
Connect the intake and exhaust line using anti-vibration
bellows, without placing any strain on the pump.
The intake line must be clean. Deposits in the intake line
may outgas and adversely affect the vacuum. The
connecting flanges must be clean and undamaged.
