NOTICE
and outlet ports and keep. Inspect the equipment. If the equipment is damaged, notify the supplier within
three days; state the item number of the product together with your order number and the supplier's invoice number.

Intended use

› The system and all system parts must not be used on humans or animals. Prevent any part of the human body from
WARNING
coming into contact with the vacuum.
› Make sure that the individual components are only connected, combined and operated according to their design
and as indicated in the instructions for use. Use only original Starlab accessories.
› Comply with notes on correct vacuum and electrical connections, see section "Use and operation".
› The systems are designed for ambient temperatures during operation between +10 °C and +40 °C. Check the
CAUTION
maximum temperatures if installing the system in a cabinet or a housing and make sure ventilation is adequate.
Install an external automatic ventilation system if necessary.
› Ensure that the equipment and all components are suitable for the intended application. Use the system only for
NOTICE
aspiration of liquids and filtration.

Setting up and installing the system

› Equipment must be connected only to a suitable electrical supply and a suitable ground point. Failure to connect
DANGER
the motor to ground may result in deadly electrical shock.
The supply cable may be fitted with a molded European IEC plug or a plug suitable for your local electrical supply.
If the plug has been removed or has to be removed, the cable will contain wires color coded as follows: green or
green and yellow: earth; blue or white: neutral; brown or black: live. The device has an internal fuse.
Do not permit any uncontrolDEL pressurizing (e.g. make sure that an exhaust tubing cannot become blocked).
›
WARNING
Risk of bursting!
› Due to the high compression ratio of the pumps, pressure at the outlet port may be generated that is higher than
the maximum permissible pressure compatible with the mechanical stability of the system.
› Always provide a free and pressureless exhaust line.
› Keep the electrical power cord away from heated surfaces.
› Keep the electrical power cord away from hot surfaces.
› Comply with maximum permissible pressures and pressure differences; see section "Technical data". Do not
CAUTION
operate the pumping unit with overpressure at the inlet or outlet.
› Check that line voltage and current conform with the equipment. (See rating plate.)
› Avoid overpressure of more than 0.2 bar in instances in which inert gas is connected.
Provide a firm level platform for the equipment. Ensure a stable position of the pump without any mechanical
NOTICE
contact except of the pump feet. Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
Check fan regularly for dust/dirt, clean if necessary to avoid reduced ventilation. Avoid high heat supply. If the equip-
ment is brought from cold environment into a room for operation, allow the equipment to warm up. (Watch for water
condensation on cold surfaces.) The mains plug is a disconnecting device to separate the pump from the supply
voltage. Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible at all times to allow the separation of the device from the power
supply.
The diameter of the an outlet tubing should be at the least as large as the diameter of the pump connections.
Comply with all applicable and relevant safety requirements (regulations and guidelines),
implement the required actions and adopt suitable safety measures.
