8.
Power connection and cable
This serves to connect the machine to the power supply. The machine is supplied without an
electrical plug.
9.
Gas flush system connector (optional)
After applying vacuum, a gas is injected into the packaging to create a modified atmosphere to
protect the shape of the product or increase the shelf life of the product.
10. Seal pressure connector (optional)
Where the standard model makes use of atmospheric pressure to press the seal bar onto the
vacuum bag during the sealing process, it is also possible (optional) to connect to an external
source in order to obtain a higher sealing pressure.
4.2 Description of the Packaging Process/Machine Functions
This section provides an overview of the packaging process and available machine functions.
For the functions Liquid Control (and Liquid ), Gas (and Gas+), Seal 1-2 Cut-off
and Soft-air, specific components must be installed on your machine before they can be
enabled. Contact your supplier for more details.
4.2.1 Packaging Process/Machine Functions
This section describes the packaging process and the machine functions. See Operation on page

Operation
1.
Preparation
The operator puts the product in a vacuum bag and places it
on the work surface with the opening on the sealing position.
2.
Applying vacuum
The vacuum process is initiated by closing the lid.
Depending on the options you selected for your machine and
the product you are packaging, the following functions are
available:
Vacuum
During the cycle, the air is removed from the chamber un-
til the set time or pressure has been reached, depending on
the selected model.
Applying vacuum until a set value is reached is only possible
if your machine is sensor-controlled (optional for 10-PCS).
This value can be set in %. The percentage indicates the
depth of the vacuum. This is in relation to an outside atmo-
sphere of 0%. In case of the ACS, the value is indicated in
percentages, mbar or hPa.
