àRead the operating and installation instructions before you commission

the pump.

àGive the operating and installation instructions only completely and un-

changed to the next owner.

àKeep the operating and installation instructions within reach at all

times.

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 dataand Chap-

ter 2.3 Use in potentially explosive areas.

Pumps with ATEX designation do not always satisfy the regulations

for potentially explosive areas in countries outside of the EU.

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.

The pump is suitable for transferring potentially explosive atmospheres

and for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

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.

Make certain that no risk of explosion arises even in extreme operating sit-

uations (temperature, pressure) and in the event of system breakdowns.

Only transfer gases that remain stable under the pressures and tempera-

tures that arise in the pump.

2.2 Improper use

The pumps are not suitable for use below ground.

The pumps are not suitable for transferring:

§Dusts

§Liquids

§Aerosols

§Biological and microbiological substances

§Explosives

§Fibers

§Food

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.

2.3 Use in potentially explosive areas

In potentially explosive atmospheres (zones), only operate pumps and mo-

tors of the appropriate category and temperature class.

The pumps have the following EU explosion protection designation:

Designation Description

Symbol for explosion-proof pumps

II Equipment group (See Chapter 2.4.1 Device groups)

2/2G Device category (See Chapter 2.4.2 Device categories for

gas)

Ex Symbol indicates that the device complies with one or

more ignition protection types

H Symbol for ignition protection type (See Chapter 2.4.5 Ig-

nition protection type)

II B + H2 Explosion groups (see Chapter 2.4.3 Explosion groups)

T4 Temperature class (see Chapter 2.4.4 Temperature

classes)

Gb Equipment protection level (See Chapter 2.4.6 Equipment

protection level for gas)

Special operating conditions (See Chapter 2.4.7 Special

operating conditions)

Tab.3

An ignition hazard assessment in accordance with standards DIN EN ISO

80079-36 and DIN EN ISO 80079-37 was performed for the pumps. The

protective goals were reached by applying ignition protection type con-

structional safety "c".

The explosion protection designation can also be found at the following lo-

cation:

§Type plate of the pump

Motor The pump motor must have at least the same explosion protection as the

pump.

2.4 Explanations of the explosion protection designation

2.4.1 Device groups

Device group I Device group I applies for devices that are used in underground plants of

mines as well as their underground systems that could be endangered by

methane and/or combustible dusts.

Device group II Device group II applies for devices that are used in other areas that could

be endangered by an explosive atmosphere.

The device category describes the frequency and the duration of the oc-

currence of explosive atmospheres during operation.

which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture of air

and gases, vapors or mists is present constantly or for long

periods of time or often.

1D Devices of this category are designed for use in areas in

which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a dust/air mix-

ture is present constantly or for long periods of time or often.

2G Devices of this category are designed for use in areas in

which it is to be expected that an explosive atmosphere con-

sisting of gases, vapors or mists forms occasionally.

2/2G Devices that extract from zone 1 and are designed for use in

areas in which it is to be expected that an explosive atmos-

phere consisting of gases, vapors or mists forms occasion-

ally.

2/-G Devices that extract from zone 1 but are not designed for in-

stallation in a potentially explosive atmosphere (zone).

2D Devices of this category are designed for use in areas in

which it is to be expected that an explosive atmosphere con-

sisting of a dust/air mixture forms occasionally.

3G Devices of this category are designed for uses in areas in

which it is to be expected that an explosive atmosphere re-

sulting from gases, vapors or mists occurs, though in all like-

lihood occurs only seldom and for a very short length of time.

3D Devices of this category are designed for uses in areas in

which it is to be expected that an explosive atmosphere re-

sulting from stirred-up dust occurs, though in all likelihood

occurs only seldom and for a very short length of time.

The classification of gases and vapors into groups with respect to explo-

sion group and temperature class applies for the transferred medium as

well as for the pump surroundings.

Transferred medium The pump may only be used to transfer gases and vapors that belong to

the respective explosion group and corresponding temperature class (or

below) (see designation on the type plate) or that are not explosive and

combustible.

Environment of the pump The pump may only be operated in an environment that contains an at-

mosphere that belongs to the respective explosion group and correspond-

ing temperature class (or below) (see designation on the type plate) or that

is not explosive and not combustible.

2.4.4 Temperature classes

Maximum surface temperature The maximum surface temperature is the highest temperature that is

reached under the most unfavorable conditions of a surface of the pump.

Ignition temperature The maximum surface temperature of the pump must always be lower

than the lowest ignition temperature of the gas or vapor/air mixture in

which it is used.

Temperature class The maximum surface temperature arises from the design of the pump

and is specified as temperature class.
