4 Functional Description
Through the venting pipeline, suction branch Q2 of the
air ejector is connected with the venting connection of
the pump. The compressed air required for the venting
process is supplied to the ejector at connection Q1.
To avoid dry running of the pump, the electrical circuit
(not included in the standard scope of supply) must be
designed so that the pump is put into operation only af-
ter the entire system is vented on the suction side
(please refer to Section 8.2 below).
As soon as a delivery pressure has been built up and
the specified pressure limit reached, the air ejector is Control voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz or 60 Hz (80% cyclic

connection of the pump with connection Q4 at the pres-
sure switch. Power consumption: Start/operation = 22 VA/l5VA.
The delivery pressure dropping to below the specified
pressure limit, the air ejector is switched in again. Operating voltage and frequency must correspond to
the data on the type plate of the air ejector.

8.2 Closing delay

(not included in the scope of supply)
In case of suction operation or if air ingress has to be
expected, the pump must be started with a certain time
