The following situations will invoke an alarm that will be shown in the status line on the touch screen:
Displayed code
Description
E01
Temperature sensor error
– PT-100 connection broken or sensor not attached to the system.
Alarm
Temperature under freeze drying exceeds -65 °C.
E03
Temperature sensor error
– PT-100 shorted or outside range.
E04
Pressure sensor error - Pirani connection broken or sensor not attached to the system.
Cool only
The pressure in the ice condenser is exceeding the alarm pressure.
Power out
A power out has occurred.
E08
Pressure sensor error - Pirani shorted or outside range.
E09
The safety pressure sensor on stage 1 is active. Restart compressors on stage 1 and stage 2 by manual
resetting of the safety pressure sensor.
E10
The safety pressure sensor on stage 2 is active. Restart of compressor 2 is performed automatically be the
auto-reset function. If the safety pressure sensor is activated 3 times in a 20-minute period, it must be reset
by powering the compressor down and turning it on again.

Preparations
Check that the CoolSafe ice condenser is free from ice and water, and that all valves i.e. the drain
valve is closed. Check that there is no water in the drain valve.
Note
Do not use any tools to close valves, as they will easily be damaged.
Check that the gas ballast valve on the vacuum pump is open at all times.
Check the oil level in the pump and the oil mist filter. The filter should have only a maximum
10 mm oil level (preferably it should be empty).
Switch on the CoolSafe and the vacuum pump.
The lowest temperature (-100 °C on the CoolSafe 100-9 Touch Superior XS and -95 °C with
CoolSafe 95-15 Touch Superior XL) should be achieved within 60 minutes.
The vacuum pump should now be allowed to run for at least 30 minutes to achieve the
lowest vacuum performa
nce. In this “warm up” phase the gas ballast control ideally should
be open but closed during the primary and secondary drying phases. Please note that
vacuum will not be applied to the condenser at this juncture. The electronic vacuum valve
remains closed until you enter the freeze drying modes (either opened via the touch screen
in manual mode or via programme sequence in automatic mode).
