You can stop the evacuation proce-

dure before expiry of the set time.

timer is interrupted.

In the ”Timer” menu you can specify that the timer is displayed 
on the display/working screen. A tick (

) shows that the option 

is activated. This setting specify the actual time for the evacuation 
procedure.
A default time can also be set for the timer. This setting start eva-
cuation for a standard time. The device can emit a signal (beep) 
after the set target time has elapsed.

2.  Select the menu "Operating mode" and confirm the input.
3.  Select the following settings.

Operating mode A
In this operating mode, the set target value is not saved when the 
current run comes to an end or the device is switched off.

Limits

Solvent Library
In the “solvent library”, the most common solvents are assigned a 
function to determine the steam temperature at the set pressure 
and vice versa. This provides assistance when setting these para-
meters in manual mode, for example, evaporation processes with 
a rotary evaporator.

Actions after stop
Here you can define actions that should be performed when a test 
has ended.
