4.2.1 Control Unit
The control unit contains the MPO VacS board including a pressure sensor.
The MPO VacS board receives the pressure control commands from the system
control and controls the vacuum pump accordingly. The interface of the board to
the instrument is given by D-sub plug (9-pin, male) on the front side of the control
unit.
4.2.2 Vacuum Unit
The vacuum unit contains the vacuum pump and the valves. The tubes from and to
the vacuum block and to the waste bottle are connected via screw or plug
(optional) couplings on the front side of the unit.
4.2.3 Waste Bottle
The waste bottle is for the intermediate storage of the solvents extracted from the
vacuum block. An integrated liquid level sensor is used to monitor the liquid level in
the bottle.
The waste bottle can be clipped to the bottle holder of the Te-VacS tower.
