The

symbol, located in the upper left corner of the screen, returns you to the

previous screen. The

>

symbol allows you to go to the next screen within a selected

option.

Vacuum Control

The

Vacuum Control field displays the current vacuum level control setpoint. To

change the setpoint, use the

Up/Down (+/-)

buttons and navigate to the Vacuum

Control field. Press and hold the

MENU

button. When prompted, use the

Up/Down

(+/-)

buttons to adjust the value. Press

MENU

to enter the new setpoint.

Purge (Optional)

The Purge function controls a VBS valve located between the vacuum pump and the
suction port of the unit. This allows high vacuum to be pulled within the volume
between the pump and the valve, without submitting the entire unit to high vacuum.
The gas ballast can then be opened and the oil cleansed within the pump.

Heat (Optional)

The Heat function gives the ability to add controlled heat to product shelves for
enhanced drying. If installed, you can set the temperature of the manifold shelves up
to 60 °C.

Note:

Optional features will only be displayed if the factory-installed options were purchased

with your unit.

Vacuum Control

The Vacuum Control field sets the method used for vacuum level control—None, VLC
or Power Save. Setting Vacuum Control to None disables vacuum level control.
Setting Vacuum Control to VLC allows gas to bleed into the system through a control
valve to maintain the vacuum setpoint. Setting Vacuum Control to Power Save

isolates the system and maintains pressure by shutting off power to the vacuum pump
and VBS valve. As the system pressure rises, the vacuum pump is re-energized and
the system is pulled back down. To avoid rapid cycling of the vacuum pump, the
Power Save Deadband should be set to 20 or more.
