• Note: Flexible elements will shrink when evacuated.
• Connect hoses gas tight at inlet and outlet of the pump.
• Connect hoses gas tight at the pressure transducer.
• Ensure that no foreign objects can be drawn into the
pump.
• Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate
to be sure that the power source and the equipment
match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
• Ensure that the coolant outlet pipe is always free and
that it cannot get blocked. If installing an optional cool-
ant valve, it must always be in the supply line of the
exhaust waste vapor condenser.
Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain recommend-
ed operating temperature. Keep a minimum distance of
2 in (5 cm) between the cooling fan and surrounding items
(e.g., housing, walls, etc.), or else install an external auto-
matic ventilation system.
PC 300x VARIO: Do not place the pumping unit on soft
surfaces (e.g., rubber foam) during operation. This may re-
duce or block the fans’ air supply. Do not cover the pump-
ing unit.
Position the controller CVC 3000 and its vacuum line in
such a way that condensate cannot flow towards the pres-
sure transducer.
Use only hoses at the inlet and outlet of the pump with
an inner diameter at least as large as the diameter of the
pump’s tubing (to avoid overpressure at the outlet, and
reduction of pumping speed at the inlet).
Allow the equipment to equilibrate to ambient temperature
if you bring it from cold environment into a room prior to
operation. Notice if there is water condensation on cold
surfaces.
