Oil-Less Claw Medical Vacuum2.0 Installation2.1 Inspection Upon ReceivingPlace 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.The condition of the LifeLine Claw MedicalVacuum System should be carefully inspectedupon delivery. Any indication of damage by thecarrier should be noted on the delivery receipt,especially if the system will not be immediatelyuncrated and installed. BeaconMedæs ships allsystems F.O.B. factory; therefore, damage is theresponsibility of the carrier, and all claims must bemade with them. Claw systems may remain in theirshipping containers until ready for installation. IfLifeLine Claw systems are to be stored prior toinstallation, they must be protected from theelements to prevent rust and deterioration.2.3 LocationThe LifeLine Claw Medical Vacuum system shouldbe installed indoors in a clean, well-ventilatedenvironment. Areas of excessive dust, dirt or otherair-borne particulate should be avoided.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.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.2.2 HandlingWARNING:USE APPROPRIATE LOAD RATED LIFTINGEQUIPMENT AND OBSERVE SAFE LIFTINGPROCEDURES DURING ALL MOVES.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.The vacuum package can be moved with either aforklift or dollies. Keep all packing in place duringinstallation to minimize damage. Walk along theroute the unit must travel and note dimensionsof doorways and low ceilings. LifeLine Clawsystems are designed to go through 36” doorways.Adequate ventilation is required. The pumps areair-cooled. Therefore, it is very important that theambient 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.Most Single Point Connection systems can beseparated to fit through 36” doorways (Pentaplexand Hexaplex control skid bases measure 40.5”).If separating bases, carefully label all removedelectrical connections for easier re-assembly at thefinal destination.When selecting the location for the system,remember to keep in mind the requirements forservice, such as cleaning, changing filters, andchanging oil.2-14107 9000 95.07

Oil-Less Claw Medical Vacuum2.0 InstallationDataConnectionAlarmWires2.6 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 95.07

Oil-Less Claw Medical Vacuum4.0 General OperationWARNING:NEVER RUN THELUBRICATING OIL!PUMPWITHOUT4.1 Electrical Control PanelThe LifeLine multiplex control system is U.L.labeled. The control system has a touch screencontrol, single variable speed drive (VSD Controlonly), automatic lead/lag sequencing, externaloperators with circuit breaker disconnects, fullvoltage motor starters and VSD contactors (VSDControl only), overload protection, 24V controlcircuit, and automatic-off-manual selector for eachvacuum pump. Automatic alternation of all vacuumpumps is based on first-on/first-off principle withprovisions for simultaneous operation if required.Automatic activation of reserve unit, if required,will activate an audible alarm as well as a visualalarm on the control panel. The control paneldisplays service alert, run hours for each vacuumpump, system status, system vacuum level, andhigh discharge air temperature. A complete alarmand service history is available on the controlpanel. (see Appendix A for more details)Reset ButtonFigure 4.1 Main Screen - Reset Button(DOL shown)In a typical duplex system, one pump will be ableto handle the system load. The control system willsignal the lead pump to start when the vacuumtransducer senses the vacuum level below its setpoint. If one pump can carry the load, then thevacuum level will rise and maintain the vacuumlevel setting. At this point, if the minimum runtimer for that pump has been satisfied, thecontrol system will turn off the lead pump. If theminimum run timer for that pump has not beensatisfied, the lead pump will continue to run untilthe timer expires. When the system vac
