Safety instructions related to the product and technology
Open vacuum/exhaust air connections and vacuum cup
Risk of injury by suctioning of eyes or other parts of the body.
Risk of injury due to exhaust air and any other parts and debris that may have
been drawn in being emitted from the exhaust air connection at high speed.
O Never look into vacuum openings, neither suctioning or not suctioning
(e.g. vacuum connections or connected vacuum cups).
O Never look into or enter the exhaust air stream.
On installation
W
Make sure the relevant system component is not under pressure or voltage
before assembling the product or when connecting and disconnecting plugs.
Protect the system against being restarted.
W
Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over
them.
W
Observe the connection symbols and connection designations on the ejector.
W
Only use the designated connection options, mounting holes, and mounting
material.
W
Before commissioning, make sure that all the connection seals and locks are
properly installed and undamaged to prevent fluids and foreign bodies from
penetrating the product.
W
Only use the following power supply for the components:
– 24 V DC PELV circuits in accordance with DIN EN 60204-1/IEC 60204-1.
– The PELV power source must be a safety isolation transformer in accordance
with IEC 61558-1 or IEC 61558-2-6, or a power source offering the same
degree of safety as a safety isolation transformer.
– Make sure that the power supply of the power pack is always less than
300 V AC (outer conductor – neutral wire).
W
In case of heavily contaminated vacuum/ambient air, use a VFC cup version
vacuum filter between the vacuum connection and the volumes to be evacuated.
During commissioning
W
Check that all the electrical and pneumatic connections are allocated or closed.
Only commission fully installed products.
W
When the supply voltage is switched on, output signals may change (discrete
signals as well as IO-Link signals). Depending on the machine's/system's
functionality, this may lead to severe personal injury or damage to equipment.
