2.1 Inspection Upon Receiving
The condition of the VerusLab
TM
Lubricated
Rotary Vane Laboratory Vacuum System should
be carefully inspected upon delivery. Any
indication of damage by the carrier should be
noted on the delivery receipt, especially if the
system will not be immediately uncrated and
installed.
BeaconMedæs
ships all systems F.O.B.
factory; therefore, damage is the responsibility
of the carrier, and all claims must be made with
them. Lube systems may remain in their shipping
containers until ready for installation. If Lube
systems are to be stored prior to installation,
they must be protected from the elements to
prevent rust and deterioration. Lube systems
in storage must be rotated over by hand every
three months.
The shelf life of inlet
fi
lters is one year. Systems
stored longer than one year should have all
fi
lters replaced prior to
fi
rst start-up. See Section
7.0 for replacement
fi
lter kits.
DO NOT REMOVE
the protective covers from
the inlet and discharge connection ports of the
unit until they are ready for connection to your
system.
2.2 Handling
The vacuum package can be moved with either a
forklift or dollies. Keep all packing in place during
installation to minimize damage. Walk along the
route the unit must travel and note dimensions
of doorways and low ceilings.
Most single point connection systems can be
separated for installation purposes. If separating
bases, carefully label all removed electrical
connections for easier re-assembly at the
fi
nal
destination.
Tipping the pump over can cause oil to
fl
ood the
cylinder. Whenever the pump is transported, be
sure to drain the oil prior to shipping to avoid
vane breakage when restarting the pump.
Refer to the diagrams supplied with your
system for dimensional, wiring and installation
information.
Place units to ensure high visibility of indicators
and gauges and for performing maintenance
on the system. Refer to your installation
diagram. If you do not have one, please

2.3 Location
The VerusLab
TM
Lubricated Rotary Vane
Laboratory Vacuum System should be installed
indoors in a clean, well-ventilated environment.
Areas of excessive dust, dirt or other air-borne
particulate should be avoided.
The central vacuum system must be installed in
a horizontal position on a
fl
at, level surface that
will support its weight. No special foundation is
required. However, all units must be securely
bolted using all mounting holes provided. If a
raised concrete pad is used, the module bases
must not overhang the concrete base. A method
to drain away moisture is necessary.
Clearance between the unit and adjacent walls
or other obstructions should be no less than 24”
to 36” to ensure su
ffi
cient air
fl
ow for cooling.
There should be a minimum of 36” of clearance
in front of the control panel for safe operation
WARNING:
Use appropriate load rated lifting equipment
and observe safe lifting procedures during all
moves.
