Description of function
The Vacuum Pump V-100 is intended for evacuating laboratory apparatus to a termi-
nal vacuum of 10 mbar (± 2 mbar).
Once switched on, the V-100 runs in continuous mode unless it is connected to the
Interface I-100 unit. In unregulated continuous mode, the pump runs at a maximum
speed of 1280 rpm and generates a terminal vacuum of 10 mbar (± 2 mbar). The time
required for evacuation depends on the size (volume) of the vessel.
After 1 hour of operation, the V-100 switches automatically to ECO mode. In ECO
mode, the V-100 runs at 70 % capacity but still generates the same terminal vacuum
of 10 mbar (± 2 mbar).
The pump can be operated either as a standalone device or combined with optional
accessories (see Chapter 3.3 "Specifications supplied", page 14).
