Risks during operation
CAUTION
Health hazard from increased noise emission
Remaining in the close proximity of the vacuum pump for a sustained period of time may cause hear-
ing damage.
► Ensure adequate sound insulation.
► Wear hearing protection.
CAUTION
Danger of burns on hot surfaces
Depending on the operating and ambient conditions, the surface temperature of the vacuum pump
can increase to above 70 °C.
► Provide suitable touch protection.
Risks during maintenance, decommissioning and malfunctions
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of
the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life.
► Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
► Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
► Provide adequate grounding for the device.
► After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock in case of contact with the frequency converter
High voltages are present at the terminals and inside the frequency converter after disconnecting the
power supply. There is a risk of electric shock if touched.
► Before working on the frequency converter, disconnect the mains cable from the mains power
supply.
► Wait at least 10 minutes after switching off the frequency converter before you start work.
► Provide adequate grounding for the device.
► Prior to installation, check that the connection leads and terminals are voltage-free.
► After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Risk of electric shock when working on the frequency converter and motor. There is a risk to life!
► Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by trained electricians who are familiar
with the relevant safety instructions for electrical safety and EMC.
WARNING
Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices
Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work,
there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub-
stances causes environmental damage.
► Take suitable safety precautions and prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by toxic
process media.
► Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
► Wear protective equipment.
