Medical Lubricated Vacuum2.0 Installation2.1 Inspection Upon ReceivingModular systems are shipped as separate units tofacilitate a variety of installations. Most modularand tank mount units are designed to fit througha standard 36” doorway, though some receivermodules may need to be tipped slightly (15 Hpthrough 25 Hp skid bases measure 43”). Someinterconnecting piping and wiring betweenmodules may be necessary on modular systemsonly.The condition of the LifeLine LubricatedRotary Vane Medical Vacuum System should becarefully inspected upon delivery. Any indicationof damage by the carrier should be noted onthe delivery receipt, especially if the system willnot be immediately uncrated and installed.BeaconMedæs ships all systems F.O.B. factory;therefore, damage is the responsibility of thecarrier, and all claims must be made with them.Lubricated Vane systems may remain in theirshipping containers until ready for installation. IfLifeLine Lubricated Vane systems are to be storedprior to installation, they must be protected fromthe elements to prevent rust and deterioration.Refer to the diagrams supplied with your system fordimensional, wiring and installation information.Place units to ensure high visibility of indicatorsand gauges and for performing maintenance on thesystem. Refer to your installation diagram. If youdo not have one, please contact BeaconMedæsTechnical Support at 888-4-MEDGAS.DO NOT REMOVE the protective covers from theinlet and discharge connection ports of the unituntil they are ready for connecting to the hospital’spipeline distribution system.2.3 LocationThe LifeLine Lubricated Rotary Vane MedicalVacuum system should be installed indoors ina clean, well-ventilated environment. Areas ofexcessive dust, dirt or other air-borne particulateshould be avoided.2.2 HandlingWARNING:USE APPROPRIATE LOAD RATED LIFTINGEQUIPMENT AND OBSERVE SAFE LIFTINGPROCEDURES DURING ALL MOVES.Certain considerations should be given to theplacement of the system. The package may beinstalled in a location that is flat, level, and willsupport its weight. Clearance between the unitand adjacent walls should be no less than 24”to ensure sufficient airflow for cooling. Thereshould be a minimum of three feet of clearancein front of the control panel for safe operationand maintenance. A vertical distance of 24” isrequired above the modules for ventilation andmaintenance.The vacuum package can be moved with eithera forklift or dollies. Keep all packing in placeduring installation to minimize damage. Walkalong the route the unit must travel and notedimensions of doorways and low ceilings. MostLifeLine Lubricated Vane systems are designedto go through 36” doorways (15 Hp through 25 Hpsystems have bases that measure 43”).No special foundation is required. However, allunits must be securely bolted using all mountingholes provided. If a raised concrete pad is used,the module bases must not overhang the concretebase. A method to drain away moisture isnecessary.Most Single Point Connection systems can beseparated to fit through 36” doorways (15Hp through 25 Hp skid bases measure 43”). Ifseparating bases, carefully label all removedelectrical connections for easier re-assembly at thefinal destination.Adequate ventilation is required. The pumps areair-cooled. Therefore, it is very important that the2-14107 9000 96.04

Medical Lubricated Vacuum2.0 Installation2.5 Electrical Requirementsambient temperature should be between 40 Fand 105 F (if the maximum ambient exceeds105 F, contact factory for special instructions).The system should be located as close as possibleto the point of usage to prevent excessive loss ofoperating vacuum due to pressure drop.WARNING:BE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS TURNED OFFPRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY WORK ONTHE ELECTRICAL PANEL!When selecting the location for the system,remember to keep in mind the requirements forservice, such as cleaning, changing filters, andchanging oil.Refer to the electrical diagram provided withthe unit before starting any installation ormaintenance work.Do not operate vacuum pump on a voltage otherthan the voltage specified on the control panelnameplate.2.4 Locations Above Sea LevelAll vacuum pumps above sea level have reducedflow and should be de-rated. After determiningthe correct flow needed for the medical vacuumsystem, multiply this number by the adjustmentfactor located in Table 2.1. After determining thenew flow required, use this number to size themedical vacuum system.All customer wiring should be in compliancewith the National Electrical Code and any otherapplicable state or local codes.Refer to the wiring diagram(s) that came withthe vacuum pump system for pertinent wiringconnections.Table 2.1 Altitude Adjustment FactorAltitude 0007,0008,0009,00010,0004107 9000 96.04NormalBarometricPressure(inches .9023.9823.0922.2321.3920.58Multiplier Usedfor RequiredSCFMElectrical power for the medical system mustbe supplied from the emergency life 61.201.251.301.351.401.45Check the control voltage, phase, and amp ratingsbefore starting the electrical installation, andmake sure the voltage supplied by the hospital isthe same. The wire size should be able to handlepeak motor amp load of all operating units. Referto the vacuum pump system full load amperes onthe wiring diagram.Check all electrical connections within the vacuumsystem that may have loosened during shipment.Qualified electricians only should make powerconnections to the control panel and anyinterconnecting wiring.The control panelhas openings for electrical and alarm/dataconnections. Do not drill additional holes inthe control panel as this may void the systemwarranty. See Figure 2.1 for opening locations.2-2

Medical Lubricated Vacuum2.0 InstallationAlarmWiresDataConnection2.6 Intake PipingElectricalConnectionBefore connecting any piping, the plastic threadprotector installed in the connection port must beremoved. We recommend that the main vacuumline to the receiver should not be reduced belowthat provided on the receiver. Long piping runs mayneed to be increased in size to minimize pressuredrop. Improper line sizing may result in a loss ofcapacity. Ideally, piping should be constructedusing long radius elbows and a minimum numberof turns.All secondary lines should be taken from the top orside of the main line to prevent any accumulatedmoisture from draining towards the pumps. Alllines should slope away from the pumps. Any lowpoints in the piping should be equipped with pipedrains to remove accumulated moisture.All intake vacuum lines must be piped inaccordance with NFPA 99. All pipe must beeither seamless copper tubing or other corrosionresistant metallic tubing, as detailed in NFPA 99.Figure 2.1 Electrical/Alarm/Data Openings2.7 Exhaust PipingEnsure that the emergency generation systemelectrical supply is consistent with the vacuumsystem’s requirements.The exhaust line must be piped outside of thebuilding in accordance with NFPA 99. To ensurethat no restriction of airflow will occur, size thepiping according to Table 2.2. All pipe must beeither seamless copper tubing or other corrosionresistant metallic tubing as detailed in NFPA99. A flexible connector must be installed oneach exhaust port of the vacuum pump beforeconnecting to the main exhaust line leadingoutdoors. Additionally, a drip leg must be installedat each exhaust port connection to allow for thedraining of any accumulated moisture (Refer tothe installation schematics for more details). Theoutside pipe must be turned down and screenedto prevent contamination.The electrical controls for the system were wiredat the factory and were fully tested.Three-phase power supplied from emergencygenerator(s) must match that of the normal supplyto allow for correct direction of the motor rotationat all times.NOTE: It may be necessary to switch two of theleads when performing start-up, if the pumprotation is in the wrong direction.2-34107 9000 96.04
