Operation Manual Interface I-300 Pro

Product description

3.1

Description of function

The Interface I-300 Pro is designed for indicating, adjusting and controlling the com-
plete distillation system. The Interface I-300 Pro settings enable precise specification
of the individual process parameters. For example:

Rotation speed of the evaporating flask

Specified temperature of the heating bath

Specified temperature of the coolant

Specified vacuum pressure

Duration of the distillation process

The pressure is measured and regulated by the associated VacuBox. Measurement
is independent of the solvent used.
