2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The Vacuum Pump V-600 has been designed and built as an item of laboratory
equipment. Its intended use is the evacuation of laboratory apparatus. This is done by
means of a PTFE-diaphragm pump – with or without regulation by a vacuum con-
troller.
PTFE-diaphragm pumps are used primarily for the following applications:
Evacuating distillation apparatus, in particular rotary evaporators (Rotavapor®)
Vacuum filtration
Vacuum-drying cabinets
Drying kilns
2.2 Use other than that intended
Use of any kind other than that referred to and any application that does not comply
with the technical specifications constitutes use other than that intended. The opera-
tor alone is liable for any damage brought about by use of the device in a manner
other than that intended.
In particular, the following applications are not permissible:
Use in areas which require explosion-safe apparatus.
Pumping of liquids and solid particles.
Processing samples which could be caused to explode or ignite by impact, friction,
heat or sparks (e.g. explosives).
Use for analysis (e.g. Kjeldahl).
Generation of positive pressure (pressurizing a system).
Operation at ambient temperatures >40 °C.
2.3 Staff qualification
Unqualified persons are unable to identify risks and are therefore exposed to greater
dangers.
The device may only be operated by suitably qualified laboratory staff.
These operating instructions are aimed at the following target groups:
Users
Users are persons that meet the following criteria:
They have been instructed in the use of the device.
They are familiar with the contents of these operating instructions and the applica-
ble safety regulations and apply them.
They are able on the basis of their training or professional experience to assess
the risks associated with the use of the device.
