Possible cause
Remedy
Vacuum 6.11 mbar not reached
The value of 6.11 mbar is not reached
within 15 minutes with an open pressure
control valve. The pressure control valve
will be closed and the vacuum pump will
be switched off.
•
The aeration and media drain
valves are soiled.
•
The small flange connections
are not properly connected.
•
A seal is soiled or damaged.

not properly attached.
•
The ground-in stopper is not
inserted correctly or it is
missing.
•
The vacuum pump is switched
off or defective.
•
Clean the valve (see chapter
8.1.1.2 - "Aeration valve, media
drain valve") and replace it if
necessary.
•
Loosen the connection. Place
the centring ring with the inner
sealing ring in a centred manner
between the flange connections
and connect it with the clamping
ring. Ensure that the centring
ring neither slips out of place nor

•
Clean the seal and replace it if
necessary.
•
Check the cover and drying
chamber.
•
Grease the ground-in stopper
evenly and over the entire
sealing surface with vacuum
grease and install it.

•
The calibration is faulty.
•
The vacuum sensor is soiled
(e.g. due to water residues).
•
The vacuum sensor is
defective.
•
Check the vacuum sensor
connectors.
•
Calibrate the vacuum sensor
(see the separate operating
instructions of the vacuum
sensor).
•
Clean the vacuum sensor.
•
Check the vacuum display with
the aid of a reference device (if
available).
•
See chapter 7.1.2.5 - "Vacuum
sensor".

The overpressure switch of the
refrigeration unit has tripped.
•
Let the freeze-dryer cool down.
•
Ensure sufficient air circulation
(see chapter 7.1.3 - "Insufficient
ice condenser temperature").
