2 Use
2.1 Proper use
The pumps are intended exclusively for transferring gases and vapors.
Responsibility of the owner
Operating parameters and
conditions
Only install and operate the pumps in accordance with the operating pa-
rameters and conditions described in Chapter 4 Technical data.
Only pumps that are fully assembled and in the condition as delivered may
be operated.
Make sure that the installation location is dry and that the pump is pro-
tected against rain, splash, gushing, and drip water as well as from other
contaminants.
Check the tightness of the connections between the pipes of the applica-
tion and the pump (or the connection of the pump) at regular intervals.
Leaky connections carry the risk of releasing dangerous gases and vapors
from the pump system.
Requirements on the transferred
medium
Before transferring a medium, check whether the medium can be trans-
ferred danger-free in the specific application.
Before using a medium, check the compatibility of the media-contacting
components (see 4 Technical data) with the medium.
Risk of dangerous gas mixtures during pump operation if diaphragm
breaks: Depending on the medium being transferred, breakage of the di-
aphragm can result in a dangerous mixture if the medium mixes with the
air in the compressor housing or the surroundings.
Only transfer gases that remain stable under the pressures and tempera-
tures that arise in the pump.
Diaphragm Pump N936 Use
Translation of Original operating and installation instruction, English, KNF 320276-320275 07/21 7
2.2 Improper use
The pumps are not allowed to be operated in explosive atmospheres.
The pumps are not suitable for transferring:
§Dusts
§Liquids
§Aerosols
§Biological and microbiological substances
§Fuel
§Explosives and flammable materials
§Fibers
§Oxidants
§Food
The pumps are not suitable for aggressive media. For aggressive media,
pumps from the KNF product line are available – please contact us.
Pumps that can produce both vacuum as well as overpressure may not be
used to simultaneously produce vacuum and overpressure.
This function can be made possible on a project basis following consulta-
tion with KNF Customer Service.
No overpressure may be applied to the suction side of the pump.
This function can be made possible on a project basis following consulta-
tion with KNF Customer Service.
Pumps with capacitor motor are not intended for operation with a fre-
quency converter.

3 Safety
Observe the safety notices in Chapters 7 Installation and connec-
tion and 8.1 Operation.
The pumps are produced in accordance with the generally recognized
rules of engineering, as well as the occupational health, safety and acci-
dent prevention regulations. Nevertheless, dangers can arise during their
use that lead to injuries to the user or third parties or to damage to the
pump or other property.
Only use the pumps in perfect technical condition, for their intended use,
safely and aware of the dangers and in observation of the operating and
installation instructions.
The components that are to be connected to the pumps must be designed
according to the pneumatic data of the pumps.
When connecting the pumps to the electrical power, observe the corre-
sponding safety rules.
Personnel Make sure that only specially trained and instructed personnel work on the
pumps. This applies, in particular, to assembly, connection and service
work.
Make sure that the personnel have read and understood the operating and
installation instructions, particularly the chapter on safety.
Working in a safety conscious
manner
Observe the regulations on accident prevention and safety during all work
on the pumps and during operation.
Avoid contact with the heads and housing parts, as the pump heats up
during operation and may remain hot for some time after operating.
When working on the pump, make certain that the pump is disconnected
from mains and without power.
Ensure that no hazards arise from gas flowing when gas connections are
open, from the effects of noise or from hot, corrosive, dangerous and envi-
ronmentally hazardous gases.
Make sure that an EMC-compliant installation of the pump is ensured at all
times to prevent the occurrence of dangerous situations.
Handling of hazardous media Upon breakage of the diaphragm and/or leaks, the transferred medium
mixes with the air in the surroundings and/or in the pump housing. Make
sure that a dangerous situation cannot arise as a result.
When pumping hazardous media, observe the safety regulations for the
handling of said media.
Handling of combustible media Note that the pumps are not designed to be explosion-proof.
Make certain that the temperature of the medium is always sufficiently be-
low the ignition temperature of the medium so as to prevent ignition or ex-
plosion. This also applies for abnormal operating situations.
Note that the temperature of the medium increases when the pump com-
presses the medium.
Therefore, make certain that the temperature of the medium also remains
sufficiently below the ignition temperature of the medium even when it is
compressed to the maximum permissible operating pressure of the pump.
The maximum permissible operating pressure of the pump is stated in
Chapter 4 Technical data.
Make certain that the permissible ambient temperature (4 Technical data)
is not exceeded.
Where applicable, also take into account external energy sources (such as
radiation sources) that could additionally heat the medium.
In case of doubt, contact KNF Customer Service.

Environmental protection Store and dispose of all replacement parts in accordance with the environ-
mental regulations. Observe the respective national and international regu-
lations. This applies in particular to parts that are contaminated with toxic
substances.
EU/EC directives/standards With respect to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the pumps are partly
completed machinery and are, therefore, to be regarded as not ready for
use. Partly completed machinery may not be commissioned until it has
been determined that the machine into which the partly completed machin-
ery is to be installed complies with the provisions of the Machinery Direc-
tive 2006/42/EC. The following fundamental requirements of Annex I of Di-
rective 2006/42/EC (general principles) are applied and observed:
§General principles no. 1
As these partly completed machines are built-in devices, the mains con-
nections and equipment for disconnecting and switching off the partly com-
pleted machinery as well as overcurrent and overload protection gear must
be considered when mounting.
Furthermore, protection against contact with moving and hot parts, if
present, must be provided during installation.
The pumps comply with Directive 2011/65/EU.
The following harmonized standards are satisfied:
§EN 55014-1/2
§EN 61326-1 – Class A
§EN 60204-1
§EN 61000-6-2/3
The pumps comply with:
§EN 61010-1
§IEC 61010-1
§UL 61010-1
§CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1
including the following comments:
§The pumps are intended for use up to degree of contamination 2 or
comparable environment.
§The requirements on the housing with respect to fire protection, me-
chanical protection and electrical connection must be satisfied in the fi-
nal application.
§Maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation: +50°C.
Briefly >+50°C; Temperatures must be determined in the final applica-
tion.
§The warming (temperature measurements) must be tested in the final
application.
§The terminal strip is suitable exclusively for wiring at the factory.
§The pumps must be connected to protective earth.
§The motor has insulation class F (+155°C) and is equipped with a self-
resetting overtemperature switch.

Customer service and repairs The pumps are maintenance-free. However, KNF recommends periodic in-
spection of the pump for obvious changes in noise or vibration.
Only have repairs to the pumps performed by qualified KNF personnel.
Housings with electrically live components may only be opened by special-
ist personnel.
Use only genuine spare parts from KNF when performing servicing work.
