Operation
7.1
Switching device on and off
Use the power switch
“On/Off”
, at the frontside of the device, to switch the
device on and off. The illuminated switch indicates the power on mode.
The pump is working as long as the power switch is switched on.
The device can be switched off at any time, irrespective of any procedure for
device switch-off.
7.2
Regulating suction process
The suction process is regulated by the Vacuum controller at the front side of
the device.
Rotating clockwise:
Vacuum increases, suction performance is enhanced.
Rotating anticlockwise:
Vacuum decreases, suction performance is reduced.
Establishing airtightness of the suction system:
1.
Turn Vacuum Controller anticlockwise all the way to the stop (equivalent to vacuum minimum).
2.
Switch on main switch (On/Off) of the pump. Pump is running and building up vacuum.
3.
Crimp suchtion tube to generate maximal air-tightness of the suction system.
4.
Turn Vacuum Controler clockwise (equivalent to vacuum maximum).
5.
Wait for maximum build up of vacuum (equivalent to ≥ -0.7 bar).
6.
Now by rotating the Vacuum Controller the suction performance can be regulated steplessly from
0 to -0.7 bar.
7.3
Emptying secretion jar
The jar lid of the secretion jar is equipped with an overflow protection system to prevent the vacuum sys-
tem from being flooded by secretion fluids at high filling levels of the secretion jar. Therefor a float gauge is
responsible.
At high filling levels of the secretion jar and the resulting locking of the overflow protection system the se-
cretion jar has to be emptied or replaced by another secretion jar.
1.
Switch off the suction pump.
2.
Disconnect tubes from the secretion jar lid.
3.
Take full secretion jar out of the bottle holder and dispose of secretion fluids according to national disposal
regulations.
4.
Procure used secretion jars to the reprocessing cycle.
5.
Connect suspended tubes with new, ready to use secretion jar.
