Theory of Operation

Air is drawn from the operatories through

a Surgical Operatory Recover Room

Package to an ASME-certified reservoir

and then into the pump inlets. Rapidly

rotating vanes propel the air to the

discharge of the pump, producing vacuum

levels in the range of 13-20 inches of

mercury ("Hg).

Vacuum level is adjustable by adjusting

the pump "on-off" points at the vacuum

switch. A vacuum gauge provides moni-

toring of vacuum level.

A low voltage relay allows "on-off" opera-

tion of the PowerMax from a remote unit

in the operatories.

Single pump unit supply a maximum flow

rate of 8 cubic feet per minute (cfm); dual

pump units deliver 16 cfm while triple

pump units provide 24 cfm.

CAUTION

Motors are thermally protected

and will have line voltage applied to them

when the tank vacuum level is below the

minimum setpoint, either could cause the

system to restart without warning.

Pump exhaust can cause eye or skin

damage. Keep air stream airways from

face and hands.

Equipment Alert

PowerMax units use rotary

vane vacuum pumps that require no

lubrication. Service life of carbon

vanes will be reduced by petroleum

products. Verify all local codes.

Leak in PowerMax or piping system.

Check for leaks by allowing PowerMax to reach 20

Hg and shut down. Close the receiver tank inlet

valve to isolate unit from piping system. Do not

use any vacuum from piping system for several

minutes. If the vacuum gauge continues to drop

while inlet valve is closed, the leak is within the

unit. If the vacuum gauge maintains the same

reading, but drops after opening the inlet valve,

the leak is in the piping system.

Motor overloaded due to problem with vacuum pump. See " Pump Overheats".

Motor bearings defective. Listen for noisy bearings. Return unit to Midmark for repair.

Motor dirty. Clean / vacuum motor vents.

PowerMax inlet ball valve closed. Open inlet ball valve.

Open or damaged vacuum piping. Repair Vacuum lines.

Tank drain valve open. Close drain valve.

Service switches in PowerMax electrical box in "Off" position.

Step 1: Check for Leaks...

• Run PowerMax until gauge reaches 20 "Hg.

• Close the receiver tank inlet valve.

• Do not use any vacuum for several minutes.

Note: If the vacuum gauge continues to drop while

the inlet valve is closed, the leak is within the unit.

If the vacuum gauge maintains the same reading,

but drops after opening the inlet valve, leak is in the piping system.

Avoid water contact with electrical parts.

Step 2: If gauge shows there is a leak, use soapy

water to check for plumbing joint leaks.
