NOTICE
Connection IN / OUT closed
The unit will be destroyed
►
Check to be sure that all of the locking fixtures at the inlet / outlet are in
"open" position each time before start-up.
Switching on the FAM
Move main switch to the "ON" position and wait until the "Fault" lamp lights up briefly
(lamp test) and this message: appears on the display.
Ready for operation
--> Press start
Press the
key. Now the system starts with the
starting phase

1. Vacuum pump starts,
2. inlet valve opens and the vacuum chamber is filled.
3. If the fill level 02 is reached, the evacuation pump switches on and the
starting phase ends.
4. Automatic mode is active:

Now regulate the vacuum pressure with the throttle valve on the right of the vacuum
gauge, depending on the operating viscosity.

Some oils begin to foam intensively when they enter the vacuum chamber. This can
especially be the case when the water content is very high, but also when the oil is
old or high viscosity media are used. If too much foam is caused, it is drawn in by
the vacuum pump.
In this case, for example, reduce the vacuum from 350mbar to 450mbar.
