Technical data
2.3 Vent gas specification and vent control data
Although the pump may be vented to atmosphere, high relative humidity of the air may greatly increase the
subsequent pump-down time. To reduce pump-down times, vent with dry, clean gases. Refer to Section 3.9 for a
description of the vent options and the vent valve connection. Refer to Section 4.1.3 for configuring the venting
options.
