3.11  Measures to ensure the safe operation of the rotational vacuum 

concentrator 

To ensure the safe operation of the rotational vacuum concentrator, the 
following measures must be taken prior to using the unit: 

 

Set-up, connection and operation 

•  Ensure the proper set-up and correct connection of the rotational 

vacuum concentrator (see chapter 5 "Set-up and connection"). 

•  Perform a visual inspection of the rotational vacuum concentrator and 

its accessories prior to every use in order to detect damage. 

•  Do not bump or move the rotational vacuum concentrator during 

operation. 

•  Do not lean on or against the rotational vacuum concentrator during 

operation. 

•  Take the rotational vacuum concentrator immediately out of operation in 

the event of malfunctions. Eliminate the faults (see chapter 7 
"Malfunctions and error correction")or contact the service department of 
Martin Christ Gefriertrocknungsanlagen GmbH (see chapter 7.2 
"Service contact"). 

•  Only specialised personnel are authorised to perform repairs. 
 

Fire protection 

•  Some of the electrical circuits of the rotational vacuum concentrator are 

protected by way of fuses. When replacing the fuses, ensure to use 
fuses of the same type and rating. 

 

Safety range 

•  Keep a safety range of at least 30 cm free around the rotational vacuum 

concentrator. 

•  Do not store hazardous substances of any kind in the safety range 

around the rotational vacuum concentrator. 

•  Do not position any potentially hazardous materials, e.g. glass vessels 

containing liquids, within the safety range. Spilled liquids can penetrate 
the unit and cause damage to the electrical and mechanical 
components. 

•  Persons must not remain in the safety area of the rotational vacuum 

concentrator for longer than is necessary for operation.
