5.1.1 Working with the Büchi Vac V-500 with
secondary condenser
Start the pump by using the main switch
. If pressure
conditions are too low, the secondary condenser condenses
out the solvent vapors and collects them in the collecting
tank. By twisting this tank clockwise, it can be removed,
emptied, and then returned to operating position.
5.1.2 Adding a vacuum controller to the Büchi
Vac V-500
If you wish to ensure that both the pump and the vacuum
connection to the user are interrupted when the desired
vacuum has been reached, we recommend that you
supplement the vacuum system with a vacuum controller.
