When assembling, ensure vacuum-tightness. After as-
sembly, check the whole system for leaks.
Secure hose connections at the pump appropriately, e.g.,
with hose clamps, to protect against accidental detach-
ment.
To reduce pump noise emanating from the pump exhaust
port, connect an exhaust hose or use a silencer (see ”Ac-
cessories”, pg. 48).
Separator (inlet) and
exhaust waste vapor condenser (outlet)
Assembling the hose nozzle with union nut:
➨
Take the hose nozzle with attached compression fer-
rule and union nut out of the catchpot and put onto in-
let connection (version 2 AK: onto inlet and outlet con-
nections).
➨
Tighten the union nut by hand until you can feel the
stop. Then tighten an additional 1/4 rotation with an
open-ended wrench (size 17mm) for final installation.
Catchpots:
The catchpot at the inlet protects against drop-
lets and particles from entering the pump.
+
Enhances lifetimes of diaphragms and
valves.
+
Improves vacuum performance in applica-
tions with condensable vapors.
Both catchpots are coated with a protective
layer to protect against shattering in case of
breakage or implosion.
➨
Assemble the catchpots at the inlet and at
the outlet using joint clips.
Exhaust waste vapor condenser:
➨
Assemble the hose nozzles for coolant inlet
(12) and coolant outlet (13) tubing at the ex-
haust waste vapor condenser.
The exhaust waste vapor condenser en-
ables an efficient condensation of the pumped
