Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Preparing for installation Check the following points: • • • • • Machine freely accessible from all sides Do not close ventilation grids and holes Sufficient room for installing and removing pipes and for maintenance work, particularly for installing and dismantling the machine No external vibration effects Do not suck any hot exhaust air from other machines into the cooling system. The filter housing (Fig. 2/S) should be easily accessible. The cooling air inlets (Fig.
Installation 5.3 Connecting pipes a) Vacuum connections at (Fig. 2/A1) ➝ higher vacuum and at (Fig. 2/A2) ➝ lower vacuum (second vacuum) as well as pressure connection at (Fig. 2/B). NOTICE Material damage resulting from the forces and torques of the pipes on the unit being too high Only screw pipes in by hand. Long and/or small bore pipework should be avoided as this tends to reduce the capacity of the machine.
Installation 5.5 Connecting the motor DANGER Danger of death if the electrical installation has not been done professionally. The electrical installation may only be done by a specialist electrician observing EN 60204. The operating company has to provide the main switch. a) The motor’s electrical data is given on the data plate (Fig. 2/N) or on the motor data plate. The motors comply with DIN EN 60034 and are in protection class IP 55 and insulation class F.
Commissioning and decommissioning 6 Commissioning and decommissioning 6.1 Commissioning WARNING Improper use May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be sure to obey the safety instructions. CAUTION Hot surfaces When the machine is at operating temperature the surface temperatures on the components (Fig. 2/ Q) may go above 70°C. You must avoid touching the hot surfaces (marked with warning plates).
Commissioning and decommissioning 6.1.1 Checking the rotation direction The drive shaft direction of rotation is shown by the rotation direction arrow (Fig. 2/O) on the motor flange. a) Start the motor briefly (max. two seconds) to check the direction of rotation. When looking at the motor fan, it must rotate clockwise. NOTICE Incorrect direction of rotation Running the machine in reverse for a long time may cause damage to the blades which may lead to the blades breaking.
Maintenance and repair 7 Maintenance and repair DANGER Danger of death from touching live parts. Before maintenance work disconnect the machine by pressing the main switch or unplugging it and ensure that it cannot be turned on again. WARNING Hot surfaces During maintenance work there is the danger of getting burnt on hot components (Fig. 2/Q) of the machine. Wait for the machine to cool down. 7.
Maintenance and repair 7.2.1 Lubrication M w1 s L s L w1 G Fig. 4 Lubrication/ Blades G Inlet grating L Grease nipple M Grease recommendation plate s Screws w1 Slotted nut The bearings must be greased at the 2 greasing points (Fig. 4/L) with 6 g per point, after the following recommended operating hours or at the latest one year operation: 50 Hz: V-KTA 60 - 100 ➝ 10.000 h and V-KTA 140 ➝ 6.000 h 60 Hz: V-KTA 60 / 80 ➝ 10.000 h, V-KTA 100 ➝ 8.000 h and V-KTA 140 ➝ 4.
Maintenance and repair Changing blades: If the minimum height has already been reached or if the blades have fallen below this level the whole blade set must be changed. a NOTICE c Do not undo the slotted nuts (Fig. 4/w1) on the housing lid (Fig. 5/b). Only the screws (Fig. 4/s) need to be removed to change the blades. b G1 Before refitting the blades clean out the housing and the rotor slots with compressed air. Place the blades, with the radius outwards (Fig.
Maintenance and repair 7.2.3 Air filtering NOTICE Insufficient maintenance on the air filter The power of the machine lessens and damage may occur to the machine. The filter cartridges (Fig. 7/e) and (Fig. 7/f) must be cleaned by blowing through from the inside out once a month or more often depending on the level of contamination. In spite of cleaning the filters their separation efficiency will continue to deteriorate. Therefore the filters should be replaced every six months. The filter cartridges (Fig.
Maintenance and repair 7.2.4 Coupling The coupling rubbers (bb. 9/k) are wearing parts and should be checked regularly. When the coupling rubbers are worn this can be detected by a knocking sound when the pump is started. m l k p r CAUTION Defected coupling rubbers Defected coupling rubbers can cause extensive damage and even in some extreme cases break the rotor shaft. s5 n q l1 v Abb.
Maintenance and repair 7.3 Repair/ Service a) For on site repair work the motor must be disconnected from the mains by a qualified electrician so that it cannot be started up again accidentally. For repairs use the manufacturer, its branch offices or authorised dealers. Please contact the manufacturer for the address of the service centre responsible for you (see Manufacturer's address).
