  Check  liquid  level  regularly.  If  neces-

sary drain separator.

  Loosen union nut.

  Remove separator. Drain condensate.

  Assemble separator again, Tighten un-

ion nut hand-tight.

BVC 01:

When connecting a vacuum pump at the pressure control device:

 Maximum permit-

ted power draw

 at the connection of the vacuum pump: 6A ohmic, 1.5A inductive.

Draining the separator:

separator

union nut

Attention

: In case of 

supply voltage below 100V

, the lock of the cutout might be 

restricted and the pump might restart on its own after sufficient cooling down. Take 

suitable precautions, if an automatic restart of the pump may lead to a critical dan-

gerous situation.

After a power cut the system will automatically start again.

BVC 21 NT: 

The  vacuum  pump  operates  at  constant  speed  and  is  switched  by  an  automatic 

pressure  control  as  necessary. Thus  the  collecting  bottle  provides  the  necessary 

vacuum for the next aspirations. Avoid too frequent switching (> 5 switch points per 

minute) of the vacuum pump (e.g. due to air intake). 

BVC 21 NT VARIO:

The vacuum inside the collecting bottle can be controlled with the adjusting knob 

(VACUUM) at the front of the device.

When turning the knob to the left (”+”, more vacuum), the diaphragm pump provides 

a lower pressure inside the collecting bottle. The suction power is increased. If the 

adjusting  knob  is  turned  to  the  right    (”-”,  less  vacuum),  the  pump  provides  less 

vacuum inside the bottle. 

The speed of the pump is adapted via an internal control to the respective vacuum 

demand. There is no abrupt switching of the pump. If the demanded vacuum level 

inside the bottle is reached, the pump reduces its speed down to standstill.

Attention:

 If the adjusting knob is turned completely to the left or close to the stop 

at the left (in direction ”+”, more vacuum), the vacuum demand might be below the 

ultimate vacuum of the diaphragm pump. Thus the pump will run continuously at 

highest speed. To avoid this mode of operation, reduce the vacuum demand slightly. 

The vacuum pump will then reduce its speed automatically down to standstill once 

the ultimate vacuum is reached.

The  aspiration  system  doesn’t  feature  an  air  admittance  valve.  I.e.  if  the  collect-

ing bottle is under vacuum and the vacuum demand is reduced (turning the adjust-

ing knob to the right), the existing underpressure inside the bottle remains until the 

vacuum is reduced by further aspiration with the VHC (pressure rise in the collecting 

bottle).

Avoid frequent switching on and off. After switching off wait 2 minutes before switch-

ing on again.
