5.3.2 Inserting the rotor
Proceed as follows when inserting the rotor:
1. Place rotor on the motor shaft.
2. Push rotor down using slight pressure until you encounter resistance.
5.3.3 Warm-up phase
The diaphragm vacuum pump reaches the displayed output and the ultimate pressure (see p. 56) only after
the device has gone through a 15 minute warm-up phase. The warm-up phase reduces the condensation of
liquid in the pump and on the lid of the rotor chamber and therefore prolongs the service life of the pump.
1. time arrow keys: set time to 15 minutes.
2. brake: switch brake on or off.
3. temp: select temperature.
4. mode/vent: select V-AQ, V-AL or V-HV mode.
5. Close the lid of the device.
6. Press start/stop to start the warm-up phase.
•The device lid is locked, and the green lid indicator lamp goes out.
•The rotor starts up.
•At 1,000 rpm, the vacuum pump switches on, and the vac indicator lamp lights up.
•The vent valve is closed.
•The rotor accelerates to the end point of 1,400 rpm.
•On the display, the colon of the time display flashes while the rotor is turning.
•The remaining run time is displayed in hours and minutes.
WARNING! Risk of injury from chemically or mechanically damaged accessories.
Even minor scratches and cracks can lead to serious internal material damage.
Protect all accessory parts from mechanical damage.
Inspect the accessories for damage before each use. Replace any damaged accessories.
Do not use rotors or buckets with signs of corrosion or mechanical damage (e.g.
deformations).
Do not use any accessories whose maximum service life has been exceeded.
When inserting the buckets and rotors, ensure that they do not become scratched.
First observe the rotor information (see p. 12) and the special notes on rotors F-35-6-30,
F-45-72-8, F-45-48-11, F-45-24-12 and A-2-VC (see p. 15).
Rotor A-2-VC: remove the buckets before inserting the rotor and pick it up at the rotor cross,
using both hands.
The rotors do not need to be screwed in.
WARNING! Device lid can crush. Keep hands clear.
Do not reach between the device and lid when opening or closing the device lid.
