3 Product description
3.1 Description of function
The Vacuum Pump V-600 is intended for evacuating laboratory apparatus to a termi-
nal vacuum of 1.5mbar (±1mbar). It can be operated either as a standalone device
or combined with optional accessories (see Chapter3.3 "Specifications supplied",
page16).
Once switched on, the Vacuum Pump V-600 runs in continuous mode unless it is
connected to the Interface I-300/I-300 Pro unit. In unregulated continuous mode, the
pump runs at a maximum speed of 1500 rpm and generates a terminal vacuum of
1.5mbar (±1mbar). The time required for evacuation depends on the size (volume)
of the vessel.
When operating as a standalone unit, the Vacuum Pump V-600 automatically
switches to energy saving mode after 1 hour of operation. In energy saving mode, the
Vacuum Pump V-600 runs at 80% of maximum speed but still generates the same
terminal vacuum of 1.5mbar (±1mbar). After 2 hours of operation, the speed re-
duces to 50% of maximum while still maintaining the same terminal vacuum.
