Safety Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps UN828, UN838_I

2. Safety
For pumps with ac motors:
The pumps have Protection Class IP00 or IP20, and so offer
no protection against contact or foreign bodies. It is therefore
essential to provide protection for persons against contact
with live parts (e.g. electrical connections, motor windings),
and moving parts (e.g. fan). Protection against the entry of
foreign bodies must also be provided.
The pumps have no protection against water. In this case too,
as far as is relevant, measures to protect the pump must be
taken before putting it into service.
Note that the pumps may only be used for their intended purpose.
The pumps must not be used in areas where there is a danger of
explosion.
The pumps are not suitable for aggressive media. For aggressive
media there are other pumps in the KNF product programme -
please ask us for detail.
Components connected to the pump must be designed to
withstand the pneumatic performance of the pump.
For vacuum pumps, the exhaust gases must be safely disposed.
Take care that safety regulations are observed when connecting
the pump to the electricity supply.
For pumps with a thermal switch:
When the operation of the pump is interrupted by the thermal
switch, the pump will re-start automatically after cooling down.
Take all care necessary to prevent this leading to a dangerous
situation.
Specific safety instructions for the media being handled must be
observed.
Use only original KNF spare parts.
EC Directives / Standards For the purposes of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, pumps
are “partly completed machinery,” and are therefore to be regarded
as not ready for use. Partly completed machinery may not be
commissioned until such time as it has been determined that the
machine in which the partly completed machinery is to be
assembled is in conformity with the provisions of the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC. The following essential requirements of
Annex I of Directive 2006/42/EC (general principles) are applied
and observed:
General Principles No. 1
No. 1.1.3 / 1.1.3 /1.3.1 / 1.3.4 / 1.4.1 / 1.5.1* / 1.5.2* / 1.5.8
/ 1.5.9 / 1.7.4 / 1.7.4.1 / 1.7.4.3
(* only for pumps with AC motor)
As these partly completed machinery are OEM-models the power
supplies and the equipment for disconnecting and switching-off the
partly completed machinery respectively have to be considered

Installation Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps UN828, UN838_I

3. Installation
Pumps in the UN828 and UN838 range are OEM models
intended for installation in equipment. When installing them
make certain that accident prevention regulations, and safety
instructions, including those for subsequent operation are
observed. The safety instructions in section 2 must be
observed.
Mechanical The dimensions of the mountings are given in Data Sheet.
Install the pump so that the fan can draw in sufficient cooling air.
For pumps with fan: Install the pump so as accidental finger
contact is with the fan is impossible.
Fit the pump at the highest point in the system, so that condensate
cannot collect in the head of the pump - that prolongs working life.
Electrical When making the electrical installation the safety regulations
must be observed. In particular make sure that the electricity
supply is isolated before trying to connect the pump.
Compare the supply data with the data on the motor-plate. The
voltage must not vary by more than +10 % and –10 % from that
shown on the type-plate.
The earth (ground) wire must be connected to the motor (not
necessary on dc motors up to 24 V).
With dc motors the wires must be connected to the correct poles.
In the electrical installation, arrangements (complying with EN
60335-1) must be made for disconnecting the pump motor from the
electrical supply.
The pump must be installed so that contact with live parts
(connection, possibly windings) is impossible.
For pumps with ac motor:
We recommend that a fuse is installed in the motor supply circuit;
the operating current is given in Data Sheet.
For pumps with ac motor:
We recommend that a fuse is installed in the motor supply circuit;
the operating current is given in Data Sheet.

protection, D.C.- power in- and outputs. Remark 3: (quotation) Not

to be used with input connections which are foreseen for a connec-
tion with a battery or a rechargeable battery which has to be re-
moved or disconnected from the device for the recharge.
Devices with a D.C. power input which are foreseen to be operated
with an A.C. / D.C. converter have to be tested at an A.C. power
input of an A.C. / D.C. converter fixed by the manufacturer. In case
the converter was not fixed they have to be tested at an A.C.
power input of a typical (usual) A.C. / D.C. converter.
The test is applicable for D C power inputs which are foreseen for
a permanent connection to cables which are longer than 10 m.

Pneumatic Remove the protection plugs from the port threads.

The accessories silencer, and hose connectors (if existing) are
screwed into the port threads.
Connect the suction and pressure lines. For flow direction see
marking on the pump head or data sheet.
Arrange the suction and pressure lines so that condensate cannot
run into the pump (sloping lines).
For vacuum pumps, the exhaust gases must be safely disposed.

Operation Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps UN828, UN838_I

4. Operation
The pumps must not be used in areas where there is a danger of
explosion.
Specific safety instructions for the media being handled must be
observed.
If combustible media are used:
Hazard of fires and explosions due to excessively high
media temperature.
Be aware that the pumps are not designed to be
explosion-proof.
Make sure the temperature of the medium is always
sufficiently below the ignition temperature of the medium,
to avoid ignition or explosion. This also applies for unusual
operational situations.
Note that the temperature of the medium increases when
the pump compresses the medium.
Hence, make sure the temperature of the medium is
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 the technical specifications (section 10).
If necessary, consider any external sources of energy,
such as radiation, that may add heat to the medium.
In case of doubt, consult the KNF customer service.
Before pumping a medium, the compatibility of materials of pump
head, diaphragm and valves with the medium must be checked (for
pump materials: see section 10).
The pump must not start against pressure or vacuum. When it is
switched on the pressure in the suction and pressure lines must be
atmospheric. This must be so even when the pump restarts after
the power has been cut off for a short period.
The maximum permissible operating pressure (see section 10)
must not be exceeded.
To prevent the maximum permissible operating pressure being
exceeded, restriction or control of the air or gas flow should only be
carried out in the suction line.
If restriction or control of the air or gas flow is made on the pres-
sure side ensure that the maximum permissible operating pressure
is not exceeded.
When the pump is at a standstill the inlet and exhaust must be at
normal atmospheric pressure.
For vacuum pumps, the exhaust gases must be safely disposed

8
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps UN828, UN838_I Operation

For pumps that may be employed as vacuum pump and

compressor must not be used to produce vacuum and pressure at
the same time.
For pumps with a thermal switch: when the operation of the pump
is interrupted by the thermal switch, it will re-start automatically
after cooling down. Take all care necessary to prevent this leading
to a dangerous situation.
Diaphragm and valve plates/sealings are the only parts subject to
wear. Wear is usually indicated by a drastic reduction in the
pneumatic performance. When replacing parts proceed as
described in section 5.
Ambient conditions: see section 1.3.

5. Servicing
5.1. AN_-versions
(versions with pump head made of aluminium)

Diaphragm and valve plates/sealings are the only parts of the

pump subject to wear. They are simple to change.
Always change valve plates/sealings and diaphragm at the same
time. If the diaphragm and the valve plates/sealings are not
changed at the same time the nominal performance of the pump is
not guaranteed after the servicing.
If aggressive, toxic or other types of gases hazardous to health
have been pumped please observe:
1. Clean the pump and its components before servicing.
2. Ensure that the service personnel is not subject to a health
hazard during diaphragm and valve plate changes. Apply the
necessary safety measures (example: the use of protective
gloves).
3. Ensure that the discarded parts and materials are safely and
correctly disposed of.

Trouble Shooting Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps UN828, UN838_I

7. Trouble Shooting
Before working on the pump isolate the power supply
securely, then check that the lines are not live.
The following tips for fault-finding are best employed in the
sequence shown.

Pump produces no flow

Thermal switch has opened due to over-heating.
Disconnect pump from mains and allow to cool.
Trace cause of over-heating and eliminate it.
Connections or lines are blocked
An external valve is closed, or a filter blocked.
Liquid (condensate) has collected in the pump head.
Let the pump run for a few minutes pumping air (if
necessary for safety reasons: pumping an inert
gas.)
Install the pump at the highest point in the system.
Diaphragms or valve plates/sealings are worn.
Section 5 Servicing.

Flow, pressure, or vacuum too low

Compare the actual performance with the figures in section
10 or the data sheet.
There is pressure on the pressure side, and at the same
time vacuum, or a pressure above atmospheric, on the
suction side.
The pump is not designed for this condition.
Liquid (condensate) has collected in the pump head.
Let the pump run for a few minutes pumping air (if
necessary for safety reasons: pumping an inert
gas.)
Install the pump at the highest point in the system.
The cross-section of pneumatic lines, or connected
components is too small, or they are restricted.
To measure the performance, disconnect the
pump from the system (small diameter tubing or a
valve can significantly affect performance).
There is a leak at a connector, in a line, or in the pump
head.
Diaphragm or valve plate/sealings are worn, or dirt is in the
head:
Section 5 Servicing.

18
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps UN828, UN838_I Trouble Shooting

If the pump does not operate properly and you cannot find any of
the above faults, send it to the KNF Service Department.

In order for KNF to repair the pump, the customer must provide a
statement on the media which were pumped and on pump clean-
ing. Please fill out the corresponding KNF form, and submit it
together with the pump. A sample statement for copying can be
found in section 11 of these Operating and Installation Instructions.
