and wait until the signal
lamp "Fault / Unit off" lights up.
2.
Start up the unit by pressing the on switch
.
3.
Depending on the filling level in the vacuum column, the motor pump
assembly (4.0) starts to suck either from the vacuum column or the
tank via the suction strainer (4.02) and the 3/2 directional valve
(3.85).
The flow rate is split up in the flow divider (4.54). One part is funneled
to the vacuum column (3.0), the other back to the tank via the fluid
filter (6.0).
The vacuum pump (7.0) builds up the negative pressure in the
vacuum column (3.0) required for dewatering and degassing.
4.
Set the required underpressure using the vacuum gauge (3.68). See
page 45 for details.
5.
Vent the filter housing. See page 47 for details.
