Original instructions
There is a switch on the back of the RapidVap Vacuum that is used to select the
operation of an optional RapidVap Trapping Valve. When the RapidVap is used
without the Trapping Valve as shown above, set the switch to the “Off” position.
Sample Block
If the RapidVap was not shipped with the sample block installed then it must be
installed by the user. The sample block must be securely attached to its mounting
plate. Note the asymmetric hole pattern of the three thru mounting holes. Locate
the three flat washers either nuts or manifold guides that were shipped with the
RapidVap. The RapidVap Vacuum uses nuts while the RapidVap N
2
/48 uses
guide rods.
Apply a small amount of heat transfer grease that was shipped with the RapidVap
to the end of the temperature sensor probe that extends up from the bottom of the
chamber. Position the block over the three studs in the chamber. Install the flat
washers and either nuts or guide rods. Tighten securely.
