1. Place the vacuum pump near the freeze dryer.
2. Remove protective caps from inlet and outlet
ports.
3. Some vacuum pumps have inlet fittings that
clamp to the pump. Place the centering ring with
filter screen on the inlet fitting.
4. Place the hose barb fitting on top of the
centering ring and secure with the clamp.
5. If using an oil vacuum pump, fill the pump with
oil so the level is between the lines on the
sight gauge on the end of the pump
housing.
6. Attach one end of the vacuum hose to the
port on the back of the freeze dryer and
the other end to the inlet port of the
vacuum pump with the hose clamps
provided. If necessary, cut the hose to
proper length to allow for gentle bends
without kinks.
7. Verify the vacuum pump voltage setting agrees with the freeze dryer voltage
shown on the serial number label.
8. Connect the vacuum pump power cord to the receptacle labeled
“vacuum pump”
on the back of the freeze dryer.
9. If the vacuum pump has an ON/OFF switch, turn the switch ON. The vacuum
pump will be controlled by the freeze dryer.
It is highly recommended that an oil mist exhaust filter be installed on rotary vane
vacuum pumps to minimize oil mist exiting the pump. An oil return kit can also be used
in conjunction with the exhaust filter to return trapped oil back to the vacuum pump.
