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 effect • Do not suck any hot exhaust air from other machines into the cooling system. There must be a minimum space of 20 cm in front of the housing cover (Fig.
Installation 5.3 Connecting pipes a) Vacuum connection at (Fig. 1/A). The air handled can be exhausted into the atmosphere through the exhaust port (Fig. 1/B) or by utilising a pipe connection and pipeline. NOTICE The pumping capacity of the vacuum pump is reduced if the suction pipe is too narrow and/or too long. 5.4 Control and relief valve (optional extra) The vacuum can be set by turning the control knob (Fig. 1/C) as shown on the symbol fitted to the button. www.gd-elmorietschle.
Installation 5.5 Connecting the motor DANGER Danger of death if the electrical installation has not been done professionally. The electrical installation must only be done by a qualified electrician observing EN 60204. The operating company has to provide the main switch. a) The electrical motor data can be found on the data plate (Fig. 1/N) or the motor data plate (Fig. 1/P1). 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. 1/ 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. 1/O). a) Start the motor briefly (max. two seconds) to check the direction of rotation. When looking at the motor fan, it must rotate clockwise. The suction pipe must not be connected when starting up like this.
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. 1/Q). Wait for the machine to cool down. 7.1 Ensuring operational safety Regular maintenance work must be carried out in order to ensure operational safety.
