Electrical connections 

The illustration on this page shows the electrical connections.   
 
Connect the vacuum pump to the Rocket 4D via the pump control cable supplied, do not 
connect the vacuum pump directly to the mains power supply outlet.  
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Note:

  For 120 V systems, the power cables supplied with the evaporator are labelled: 

LEAD 1 - 10 A

 and 

LEAD 2 

– 5 A

.  Lead 1 must be connected to power inlet connector 1 

(power switch), lead 2 must be connected to power inlet connector 2 (service panel). 
 

 
 

 

Caution:

  Check mains voltage and frequency shown on the serial plates to 

make sure the evaporator, chiller and pump are correctly specified for the local 
regional mains supply.   

 

 

 

Chiller control cable 

– RS232 

 Three power cables 

Pump cable

 

Power inlet connector 1 

(120 V systems only)

 

Power inlet connector 2 

(120 V systems only)
