Locate the vacuum pump and verify it is plugged into an outlet.
Locate the power switch on the vacuum pump and switch to
“ON”.
Note: Some facility setups could have a wall switch that controls power to the vacuum pump.
In this case, locate the wall switch and power on the vacuum pump.
#VERIFY VACUUM
You can verify the system is pulling vacuum from the AutoVap itself.
Open the vacuum valve on the vacuum manifold on the AutoVap. Open the vacuum fine tune
adjustment. There should be vacuum flow.
VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE STARTUP
Most AutoVap15 Systems from TruSteel are paired with Lenze Variable Frequency Drives. If you
are operating an AutoVap15 with Auto Discharge for the Solvent Recovery, you will have 2
Variable Frequency Drives to turn on.
1.
Turn
on the VFD by locating the disconnect near the VFD or at the main breaker.
****Note: The VFD will now light up and display the speed of the motor measured in Hertz.
****Note: Hertz is measured from 0-60. This means at 0Hz the motor will not spin at all and at
60Hz the motor will spin at maximum speed.
****Note: Since hertz translates to how fast the motor will spin it also translates to how much
pressure it can create in the AutoVap feed system.
****Note: Starting Hertz is between 15-20
****Note: Operating pressure in the feed system 30 60- PSI

SECTION IV: OPERATING PROCEDURES
These are the suggested operating procedures by TruSteel to ensure your system runs efficiently and
recovers at least 15 gallons per hour. As you become more familiar with your system and your specific
material you are recovering, you may want to set your own parameters.
In any case, each step of this process should be closely reviewed, especially the cleaning cycle.
