Vacuubrand RC6 vacuum pump (oil-sealed)
WARNING
Risk of poisoning/infection caused by vacuum pump exhaust gases
The exhaust gases of the vacuum pump may contain harmful substances
originating from the product.
Inhalation may cause severe damage to health.
• Use the freeze-dryer only if it is equipped with a pipe that is properly
connected to the outlet of the vacuum pump/exhaust filter (oil mist
separator) and led to the outside via the roof!
• Depending on the product that is dried in the freeze-dryer, it may be
necessary to install a suitable filter system in the exhaust gas pipe!
• Compliance with the local rules and regulations concerning the
protection of the environment must be ensured!
NOTE
Please refer to the separate operating manual of the vacuum pump and
the exhaust filter (oil mist separator)!
The vacuum pump of the type Vacuubrand RC6 must be connected to the
vacuum connection of the unit and to the electrical socket at the back of the
unit, which is marked accordingly (see chapter 2.1.1 - "Functional and
operating elements").
NOTE
The vacuum pump is supplied with power by the unit, but the maximum
current for the vacuum pump is limited. It is absolutely essential to refer to
the label of the electrical outlet for the vacuum pump (see the following
picture)!
The Vacuubrand RC6 vacuum pump can be connected to the socket at
the back. The current required by the Edwards nXDS 10iC vacuum pump
is greater than the value stated. This is why the dry-running pump must be
supplied separately via a customer-provided socket.
