6. Instruccions de funcionament
This section provides general operating guidelines for a vacuum pump equipped with the Robinair 15548 module. Always consult the full vacuum pump manual for specific operational procedures.
6.1. Connecting to a System
- Preparar connexions: Ensure all hoses and fittings are clean and in good condition. Apply Teflon tape to threaded connections if necessary to ensure a tight seal.
- Connecteu les mànegues: Attach appropriate vacuum hoses to the pump's inlet ports (e.g., 1/4 inch flare, 3/8 inch port) and to the system being evacuated.
- Connexions segures: Hand-tighten all connections, then use a wrench to ensure they are snug but do not overtighten.
6.2. Starting the Vacuum Pump
- Comprovar el nivell d'oli: Verify that the oil level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the sight glass.
- Encès: Connect the vacuum pump to a suitable power outlet. Flip the power switch to the "ON" position. The pump should start running smoothly.
- Monitor de funcionament: Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations. The pump should operate relatively quietly.
6.3. Evacuation Process
Allow the vacuum pump to run for the recommended duration to achieve the desired vacuum level. This duration depends on the system volume and the required vacuum depth.
- Monitor de buit: Use a vacuum gauge (not included) to monitor the system's vacuum level.
- Tancar vàlvules: Once the desired vacuum is achieved, close the manifold gauge valves or system valves before turning off the pump.
- Apagar la bomba: Gireu l'interruptor d'alimentació a la posició "OFF".
- Desconnectar les mànegues: Carefully disconnect the hoses from the system and the pump.
