Operating Rotavapor with Interface I-300/I-300 Pro
The Rotavapor and the entire distillation system can be fully controlled by an Interface
I-300/I-300 Pro. The Interface I-300/I-300 Pro settings enable precise specification of
the individual process parameters. For example:
Rotation speed of the evaporating flask
Specified temperature of the heating bath
Specified temperature of the coolant
Vacuum level
Duration of the distillation process

Connect the Interface I-300/I-300 Pro and the VacuBox, see Chapter 5.17.1
"Overview: setting up communication connections", page 43 and the relevant
chapters in the operating instructions of the I-300/I-300 Pro.
NOTE
To save energy, the Interface I-300/I-300 Pro offers an "eco mode" option which can
be activated if the distillation system is inactive. In eco mode, the distillation system
shuts down the activity of the heating bath after a defined delay period. The heating
bath does not reheat until the heating bath temperature has dropped to a defined
minimum temperature. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the Interface
I-300/I-300 Pro.
