2.1.4 Supplied Equipment
The EcoDry M is supplied with the following basic items:
• Pump with motor
• Separate dirt collecting sieve (dirt trap)
• Operating Instructions
• “Declaration of Contamination” form
The connection ports are sealed off before shipping with
sealing caps.
EcoDry M pumps equipped with a single phase AC
motor have a 1.8 m long mains cord and may be connec-
ted to the mains direct via the plug.
The AC motors are equipped with a built-in thermal
motor overload circuit breaker and a mains cord (1.8 m
long).
Country specific plugs USA, Japan, Euro are included.In
the case of the three-phase motors suitable motor over-
load protection and the connection to the mains power
supply must be installed resp. provided by the customer.
2.2 Installation
The EcoDry M pump is installed upright or horizontally
on the anti-vibration mounts provided.
Make sure that there is a clearance of at least 100 mm
to other components or pumps at every side to allow an
adequate air flow for cooling.
The EcoDry M pump is a complete unit.Listed below are
several optional accessories that will lead to more effi-
cient operation and prolong the useful life of the pump.
• Dust filter, liquid separator for the inlet
• Vibration absorbers
• Exhaust silencer
• Inert gas connection
2.2.1 Suggested Installation Procedure
The EcoDry M must only be operated in
such orientations where the axis of the
pump (crankshaft) runs horizontally.
Please accurately observe the following
safety information given in these Operating
Instructions.
1. Install in an open area with an ambient temperature
below 50°C (122 °F). If the pump must be installed in
an enclosed area, air-circulating fans may be neces-
sary to ensure adequate cooling.
2. Before connecting the EcoDry M to the intake and
exhaust lines please remove the shipping seals on the
pump’s intake and exhaust flanges. Connect the
chamber to be evacuated to the inlet flange of the
EcoDry M pump.
3. Use flexible stainless steel bellows in the piping to
reduce transmission of vibrations during operation.
4. Make sure pipe lines are adequately supported to
reduce stress on joints.
5. Install a vacuum gauge in the inlet line with a
vacuum-quality valve upstream of the gauge. This
allows the pump to be isolated from the system to
monitor its proper performance.
