Evaporate
Edit an Evaporation Run in Progress
During Manual mode and Time mode evaporation runs, it is
possible to change the evaporation parameters. When running
in Method mode, the evaporation parameters cannot be
changed. To edit the evaporation parameters, see "Change a
Setting in Manual or Time Mode" on page 14.
Pause or Abort an Evaporation Run
To pause an evaporation run, press
Pause
. The heating and the
gas flow are terminated and the timer is paused. Resume the
evaporation run by pressing
Resume
.
Additionally, it is possible to pause an evaporation run by
opening the cabinet door. The heating is turned off, the gas
flow is turned off, the timer is paused and the lift is lowered.
Resume the evaporation run by closing the door. Once the door
is closed, the lift will return to its position and the evaporation
run is resumed.
To abort the run before the specified evaporation time has
passed, press
Stop
.
End of an Evaporation Run
When the specified evaporation end time is reached, the
gas flow is turned off, the heating is turned off, and the lift
is returned to its home position. The color of the LED lights
changes to green and an alarm sounds. If operating each
cabinet separately, then the LED lights in each cabinet will turn
green independently. The
Evaporation Finished
dialog appears
on the screen, see Figure 34. The alarm continues to beep every
30 seconds until the Evaporation Finished dialog is closed or
the door is opened.
The run can also be terminated by pressing the
Stop
button.
Figure 34.
The Evaporation Finished dialog is displayed when the specified
evaporation end time is reached.

Monitor an Evaporation Run
During the evaporation run, the current and set values for the
gas flow, gas temperature, plate temperature, plate height, and
time can be monitored on the touch screen.
Actual
is the measured gas and plate temperatures and
Target
is the gas and plate temperatures set by the user, see Figure 33.
If
Wait for gas temperature
or
Wait for plate temperature
has
been set, the evaporation will not start until these values are
reached, see "Evaporation Settings" on page 9. The plate
heater fan will activate and assist in reaching the target plate
temperature.
1
Actual The actual gas and plate temperatures for both left and
right cabinet
2
Target The set gas and plate temperatures for both left and
right cabinet.
