Introduction
The E2M pumps are two-stage, oil-sealed, sliding-vane vacuum pumps.
Lubrication is provided by a sliding vane oil pump. Oil is drawn into the pump through a wire mesh strainer. The oil
is pumped to a spring-loaded distributor valve. The distributor valve directs a lightly-pressurised supply of oil to the
main vacuum-pump and by-passes the excess back to the oil reservoir. Some of the excess oil is re-directed through
a large area, fine-pore filter and some through a relief-valve. When you switch off an E2M40 or E2M80 pump with the
gas ballast control closed, the spring loaded distributor valve provides oil and air suckback protection.
You can inspect the level and condition of oil in the oil box through an oil-level sight-glass (7). An oil filler-plug (6)
is fitted at the top of the oil box. An oil drain-tap (8) is fitted at the bottom of the oil box.
The inlet-port flange (4) is compatible with ISO40 or NW40 fittings. The outlet-port (5) has an NW25 flange.
The gas-ballast control (11) allows you to control the introduction of gas-ballast when pumping high vapour loads.
Refer to Section 1.3 for more information about gas-ballast.
Refer to Section 7 for details about vibration isolators and other recommended accessories.
1.3 Gas-ballast
To pump high vapour loads, gas-ballast is delivered into the pump to prevent condensation of the vapour carried by
the pumped gases. This system reduces oil contamination and pump corrosion caused by condensed vapour from the
pumped gases.
You can introduce air or an inert gas into the low vacuum stage of the pump through the gas-ballast inlet (Figure 6,
item 3). A filter/silencer is fitted in the gas-ballast system, to prevent the entry of dust into the pump and to improve
silencing. You can control the gas-ballast either manually or remotely.
For manual control, use the gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4). The pumps are supplied with an open gas-ballast
inlet (Figure 6, item 3). If you leave this inlet open to the atmosphere, then:
 With the gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4) open, when you switch the pump off, the pressure inside the
pump will rise to atmospheric pressure
 With the gas-ballast control closed, when you switch off the E2M40 and E2M80 pumps the vacuum will be
maintained inside the pump.
For remote control, fit a solenoid-operated gas-ballast control valve (available as an accessory from Edwards, refer
to Section 7) to the gas-ballast inlet and open the gas-ballast control. Connect the gas-ballast valve to your control
system so that the valve is closed when the pump is switched off and if the electrical supply to the pump is
interrupted. Under these circumstances, when the pump is switched off, the vacuum will be maintained inside the
pump.
For more information about the use of gas-ballast, refer to Sections 3.9 and 4.1.

3.1 Safety
You must ensure that the pump is suitable for your application. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the
pump for your application, refer to the Edwards guidelines on vacuum pump and vacuum system safety. (See
Associated Publications at the end of the contents list).
WARNING
Obey the safety instructions given below and take note of appropriate precautions. If you do not,
you may cause injury to people and damage to equipment.
Obey the safety instructions listed below when you install the pump, especially when you connect the pump into an
existing system. Details of specific safety precautions are given at the appropriate point in the instructions.
 The installation of your pump must be performed by a suitably trained and supervised technician
 Wear the appropriate safety-clothing when you come into contact with contaminated components
 Vent and purge your vacuum system before you start installation work
 Ensure that the installation technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the pump-oil
and the products handled by the pumping system. Take suitable precautions to avoid the inhalation of oil
mist and excessive skin contact with pump-oil, as prolonged exposure can be harmful
 Disconnect the other components in the pumping system from the electrical supply so that they cannot be
operated accidentally.
3.2 System design considerations

Consider the following points when you design your pumping system:
 Use a suitable valve to isolate the pump from your vacuum system if you need to allow the pump to warm up
before you pump condensable vapours or if you need to maintain vacuum when the pump is switched off
 Avoid high levels of heat input to the pump from the process gases, otherwise the pump may overheat and
seize
 If you use the pump in a high ambient temperature and have a high gas throughput, the temperature of the
pump-body may exceed 70°C. You must fit suitable guards to prevent contact with hot surfaces
 Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become blocked. If you have an exhaust-isolation valve, make
sure that you cannot operate the pump with the valve closed
 Provide for a purge of inert gas when you shut down the pumping system, to dilute dangerous gases to safe
concentrations. A suitable solenoid operated gas-ballast control valve for introduction of purge-gas into the
pump is available as an accessory (see Section 7).

A364-04-880 Issue A

3.3 Unpack and inspect
WARNING
Use suitable lifting equipment to move the pump. The mass of the pump is between 81.5 kg and
130 kg.
 Remove all packing materials, remove the pump from its packing-box, remove the protective covers from the
inlet and outlet-ports and inspect the pump
 If the pump is damaged, notify your supplier and the carrier in writing within three days; state the Item
Number of the pump together with your order number and your supplier's invoice number
 Retain all the packing materials for inspection
 Do not use the pump if it is damaged.

Installation
3.4 Locate the pump
WARNING
Use suitable lifting equipment to move the pump. The mass of the pump is between 81.5 kg and
130 kg.
Attach your mechanical lifting equipment to the lifting eyes on the pump.
Provide a firm, level platform for the pump. Locate the pump so that the oil-level sight-glass is visible and the oil
filler-plug, oil drain-tap, disposable oil-filter and gas-ballast control are accessible.
If your pump will be located inside an enclosure, make sure that there is adequate ventilation at both ends of the
pump, so that the ambient temperature around the pump does not exceed 40°C. There must be a minimum space of
25 mm between the pump and the enclosure walls.
In addition, ensure that the location of the pump and the intended routing of connecting parts i.e. process line,
exhaust line and power cables will not present any physical hazards. For example: trip hazards to personnel.
3.5 Fill the pump with oil
3.5.1 Recommended pump oils
WARNING
If you use a hyrdocarbon oil in this pump, you must not use the pump to process oxygen in
concentrations greater than 25% in volume. If you do, there is a risk of fire or explosion in the
oil-box of the pump.
When the ambient temperature is 12°C or higher, we recommend that you use Edwards Ultragrade 70 oil. This tested
and proven oil will give you the best performance, maintenance intervals and pump life. Otherwise, use another oil
with the specification VG ISO 68.
If you pump oxygen or other dangerous gases and vapours, you must use a chemically inert and stable oil (such as
perfluoropolyether). For information on pumping dangerous gases and vapours, refer to the Edwards guidelines on
vacuum pump and vacuum system safety (see Associated Publications at the end of the contents list).
3.5.2 Filling procedure
Fill the pump with oil as described below. Refer to Figure 1 for the item numbers in brackets.
1. Remove the oil filler-plug (6).
2. Pour oil into the pump until the oil-level just reaches the MAX mark on the bezel at the top of the sight-glass (7).
If the oil-level goes above the MAX mark, open the oil drain-tap (8) and drain the excess oil from the pump.
When the oil-level falls to the MAX mark close the oil drain-tap (8).
3. After a few minutes, recheck the oil-level. If the oil-level is now below the MAX mark, pour more oil into the
pump.
4. Refit the oil filler-plug (6). Tighten the plug firmly by hand. Do not over-tighten.

Installation
3.6 Electrical installation: three-phase motors

3.6.1 Connect the pump to your electrical supply
WARNING
Ensure that the electrical installation of your pump-motor conforms with your local and national
safety requirements. It must be connected to a suitably fused and protected electrical supply and
a suitable earth point.
CAUTION
If your pump-motor can be used with more than one voltage range, you must ensure that the motor is configured
for your electrical supply voltage. If you do not, you may damage the motor.
Note: The pump will restart automatically when the electrical supply is restored after an interruption. If you do
not want the pump to restart automatically, use electrical control equipment which must be reset
manually.
We recommend that you connect the electrical supply to the motor through a starter or circuit breaker which has
thermal over-current protection which can be adjusted to suit the full-load current ratings shown on the motor rating
plate. The fuse ratings must be calculated by a qualified person. The supplier of your thermal over-current protection
device may specify fuse ratings to ensure correct operation of the over-current protection device. Ensure that the
fuse you use is suitable for the rated currents given on the motor rating plate.
1. Remove the cover from the motor terminal box.
2. Check your electrical supply voltage and frequency. If necessary, configure the motor to operate with your
electrical supply. For motor wiring information refer to the wiring diagram supplied in the motor terminal box.
3. Remove the 20 mm diameter plugs from the cable-entry hole that you will use for the electrical supply cable.
Choose the most suitable hole for your application.
4. Fit a suitable cable-gland and nut to the entry hole. After the supply cable is fitted, the cable-gland must be a
protective seal to the standard of IP44 in IEC 529 or better.
5. Pass the motor electrical supply cable through the cable-gland.
6. Connect the cables to the terminals as shown in the wiring diagram supplied in the motor terminal box.

Installation
3.7 Connect the pump inlet to your system
3.7.1 General information
Take note of the following information when you connect the pump to your vacuum system Refer to Section 7 for
details of the accessories mentioned below.
 For optimum pumping speeds, ensure that the pipeline connected to the inlet-port is as short as possible and
has an internal diameter not less than the inlet-port diameter
 Support the vacuum pipelines to prevent loading of the coupling-joints
 If necessary, incorporate flexible bellows in your system pipelines to reduce the transmission of vibration and
to prevent loading of coupling-joints. If you use flexible bellows, you must ensure that you use bellows which
have a maximum pressure rating which is greater than the highest pressure that can be generated in your
system. You must use flexible bellows if your pump is mounted on vibration isolators. We recommend that
you use Edwards flexible bellows
 Use a suitable valve to isolate the pump from your vacuum system if you need to pump condensable vapours
or maintain vacuum when the pump is switched off
 Use a suitable inlet catchpot if you pump condensable vapours or if you use the pump for very dusty
applications
 Ensure that sealing surfaces are clean and scratch-free.
3.7.2 Connect to ISO40 fittings
From the fitting pack, use the two ISO40 Co-seal halves, ISO40/NW40 seal, bolts and washers. Connect to your ISO40
fittings as shown in Figure 4.
3.7.3 Connect to NW40 fittings
From the fitting pack, use the NW40 Co-seal half, ISO40/NW40 seal, the 'C' clamp and the bolts and washers. Connect

Installation
Figure 5 - Connect inlet to NW40 inlet fittings
3.8 Connect the pump outlet to your system
WARNING
Connect the pump outlet to a suitable treatment plant to prevent the discharge of dangerous gases
and vapours to the surrounding atmosphere. Use a catchpot to prevent the drainage of
contaminated condensate back into the pump.
Connect the pump outlet-port to your outlet accessories or your exhaust treatment plant using the NW25 fittings
(supplied).
Take note of the following information before you connect to the pump outlet. Refer to Section 7 for details of the
accessories mentioned below.
 The exhaust system must be configured so that the maximum pressure at the pump outlet does not exceed
0.5 bar gauge (1.5 bar absolute, 1.5 x 105 Pa) at full pump throughput.
 In the following circumstances, we recommend that you fit an oil mist filter to the pump outlet:
 if you use the pump with the gas-ballast control open
 if you operate the pump with an inlet pressure greater than 10 mbar for extended periods or
 if you frequently pump down from atmospheric pressure.
The mist filter will trap the oil exhausted from the pump: you can re-use the oil if it is not contaminated.
3.9 Gas-ballast inlet connection

As shown in Figure 6 (item 3), the pump has two gas-ballast inlets. We supply the pump with a blanking plug fitted
to one inlet: the other inlet is open. You can use either of the inlets, but you must fit the blanking plug to the inlet
you do not use.
You can leave the gas-ballast inlet open to the atmosphere. Alternatively, you can fit a gas-ballast control valve,
(available as an accessory, refer to Section 7), for remote control of the gas-ballast supply. In either case, adjust the
gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4), to regulate the flow rate of the gas-ballast supply.
For more information about the use of gas-ballast, refer to Sections 1.3 and 4.1.

A364-04-880 Issue A
Installation
3.10 Leak-test the system

A364-04-880 Issue A
Operation
4 Operation
WARNING
We do not recommend that you use the E2M40 and E2M80 pumps to pump hazardous substances.
4.1 Gas-ballast control

Use the gas-ballast control (Figure 1, item 11) to change the amount of air (or inert gas) introduced into the low-
vacuum stage of the pump. Use of the gas-ballast will prevent the condensation of vapours in the pump. The
condensed vapours would contaminate the oil.
Turn the gas-ballast control fully clockwise:
 to achieve ultimate vacuum
 to pump dry gases.
Turn the gas-ballast control anti-clockwise to open. Use the gas-ballast control fully open:
 to pump high concentrations of condensable vapour
 to decontaminate the oil.
When you operate the pump with the gas-ballast control open, there is an increased rate of oil loss from the pump.
4.2 Start-up procedure
WARNING
Do not block the pump outlet or allow the outlet pressure to rise above 1.5 bar absolute. If you do,
the oil box may fracture: this may cause injury to people.
If the oil is contaminated, or if the pump temperature is below 13°C, or if the supply voltage is more than 10% below
the lowest voltage specified for the motor, the pump may operate at reduced speed for a few minutes.
1. Switch on the electrical supply to the pump.
2. Check that the oil-level in the sight-glass drops slightly (3 to 5 mm) after start-up. This shows that the pump has
primed with oil.
3. If the pump fails to prime, operate the pump with the inlet open to atmosphere for approximately 30 seconds.
Then isolate the inlet and check that the oil-level drops 3-5 mm.
4. If you want to achieve ultimate vacuum, to pump condensable vapours or to decontaminate the pump oil, refer
to the procedures in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 respectively. Otherwise, open the vacuum system isolation-valve.

A364-04-880 Issue A
Operation
4.3 To achieve ultimate vacuum

If the pump does not achieve the performance specified in Section 2, make sure that this is not due to your system
design before you contact your supplier or Edwards for advice. In particular, the vapour pressure of all materials used
in your vacuum system, including pump oil, must be much lower than the specified ultimate vacuum of the pump.
Refer to Section 5.13.2 for a list of possible causes for failure to achieve the specified performance. The most
common causes are:
 Your pressure measurement technique or gauge head is unsuitable or the gauge head is faulty
 You have used an oil other than the recommended oil, and the vapour pressure of the oil is higher than the
specified ultimate vacuum of the pump.
Use the following procedure to achieve ultimate vacuum:
1. Isolate the pump from your vacuum system.
2. Turn the gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4) fully anti-clockwise (fully open) and operate the pump for at least
1 hour (or overnight) to thoroughly purge the oil of contaminants.
3. Close the gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4).
4. Open the vacuum system isolation-valve and pump down to ultimate vacuum.
4.4 To pump condensable vapours

Use gas-ballast when there is a high proportion of condensable vapours in the process gases.
1. Close the vacuum system isolation valve.
2. Turn the gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4) anti-clockwise to fully open and operate the pump for 30 minutes
to warm the oil. This will help to prevent vapour condensation in the pump.
3. Open the vacuum system isolation-valve and continue to operate the pump with the gas-ballast control open.
After you have pumped condensable vapours, you can (if necessary) decontaminate the oil. Use the procedure in
Section 4.5.
4.5 To decontaminate the oil

The oil in the pump should be clear. If the oil is cloudy or discoloured it is contaminated with process vapours.
1. Look at the condition of the oil in the sight-glass (Figure 1, item 7). If the oil is cloudy or discoloured, continue
with the procedure at Step 2 below.
2. Close the vacuum system isolation-valve.
3. Turn the gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4) fully anti-clockwise.
4. Operate the pump until the oil is clear.
4.6 Unattended operation

The pump is designed for unattended operation under the normal operating conditions specified in Section 2.
However, we recommend that you check the pump at a regular interval of not more than 14 days. Check the pump
more frequently if you pump high volumes of gas or if you operate the pump with the gas-ballast control (Figure 6,
item 4) open.

A364-04-880 Issue A
Operation
4.7 Shut-down
Note: If the gas-ballast control is open and the pump is switched off for any reason, the pump drive shaft may
rotate in the reverse direction, causing a system pressure rise. To prevent this, use a gas-ballast control
valve (refer to Section 7.4.10).
We recommend, as described in the procedure below, that you decontaminate the oil before you shut down the
pump. Decontamination of the oil will prevent damage to the pump by the contaminants in the oil.
1. Refer to Section 4.5 and decontaminate the oil, as required.
2. Close the vacuum system isolation-valve (if not already closed).
3. Turn gas-ballast control (Figure 6, item 4) clockwise to close.
4. Switch off the electrical supply to the pump.

The outlet mist-filter (see Figure 9, item 5) collects the oil contained in the oil-mist forming part of the discharge
gases. You can monitor the level of oil trapped in the filter, through a sight-glass. This mist-filter must only be used
for clean applications, for other applications see Section 7.4.7. You can return the trapped oil to your pump using
the oil return kit. The mist-filter is supplied with two NW25 'C' clamps, NW25 elbow, two NW25 centring rings and O-
rings, bolts, washers, mounting bracket and studs.

7.4.7 Outlet mist-filter (toxic applications)
The outlet mist-filter (see Figure 9, item 5) collects the oil contained in the discharge gases. You can monitor the
level of contaminants through a sight-glass. You must check that the specification of the mist-filter you choose is
suitable for your application. The mist filter is supplied with two NW25 'C' clamps, NW25 elbow, two NW25 centring
rings and O-rings, bolts, washers, mounting bracket and studs.

7.4.8 External oil filter
The external oil filter (see Figure 9, item 3 or 4) is a free-standing filter. You can choose between two types of oil-
filter. The 'A' series uses an activated earth cartridge which provides chemical cleaning of the oil by removing acidic
and other aggressive contaminants. The 'M' series uses a pleated paper cartridge which does not provide chemical
filtering but removes abrasive particles down to 0.5 microns. The series 'A' and series 'M' oil-filters are available in
two sizes; the EOF100 has a 6-litre capacity, the EOF300 has a 15-litre capacity. You must check that the external
oil filter you choose is suitable for your application.

7.4.9 Oil-level monitor
The oil-level monitor (see Figure 9, item 7) fits in place of the existing oil-level sight-glass and bezel. The monitor
provides a switching facility which you can use to activate an alarm or other device. You still have the normal visual
indication of the oil-level.

7.4.10 Solenoid-operated gas-ballast control valve
The solenoid-operated gas-ballast control valve (see Figure 9, item 2) gives you automatic or remote control of gas-
ballast. You can connect the valve to shut off gas-ballast when the pump is switched off and so prevent air from
returning to the system.
