Prerequisites
Before you install your CentriVap Refrigerated Concentrator, you need to prepare
your site for installation. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid
construction. In addition, a means to exhaust the vacuum pump must be provided.
An electrical source must be located near the installation site.

The vacuum pump requirements.
Refer to Appendix C: CentriVap Refrigerated Concentrator Specifications for
complete electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.
Electrical Requirements
The CentriVap Refrigerated Concentrator requires a dedicated grounded electrical
outlet. This outlet requires a 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse for models rated at 115V
(60 Hz). An 8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 230V
(50/60 Hz). 115V models are equipped with a 20 Amp NEMA 5-20P plug. 230V
models are available with either a NEMA 6-20P plug for use in the United States or a
PS1363 plug for use in the UK or a CHI-10P plug for use in China or a CEE7/7 plug
for use in the EU. If this does not match with the available receptacle, remove this
plug and replace it with an approved plug of the suitable style.
It is recommended that an emergency switch for disconnecting the mains in the
case of a malfunction is located remote from the CentriVap. It should be outside
the room in which the CentriVap is housed, or adjacent to the exit from that room.
