Operation
Concentrator plus/Vacufuge® plus
English (EN)
42
After completion of the concentration process
•The device stops automatically (time setting) or manually (continuous run).
•The elapsed concentration time will flash on the display during the braking process.
•The rotor chamber is ventilated so that the pressure in the rotor chamber increases slowly.
•After two seconds the vacuum pump switches off and the vac indicator light goes out.
•The device then decelerates.
•After the rotor has stopped the lid indicator light lights up.
•You can now open the lid and remove the samples.
5.4.4 Completing the application
1. Let the device continue to run in D-AQ mode with an empty rotor for 15 minutes after completing the
application.
5.4.5 Removing the rotor and switching off the device
1. Switch the heating off if applicable.
2. Remove the rotor.
3. Wipe up spilled liquid in the rotor chamber and on the device lid with an absorbent cloth.
4. Clean the rotor chamber and device lid as described separately.
5. Leave the device lid open and secure it against closing to allow any remaining liquid to evaporate.
6. Switch off the device at the mains/power switch.
5.4.6 Emptying the emission condenser
1. There are two possibilities, depending on the design:
• The emission condenser is mounted to the side of the device: Pull the tubing from the connection
and empty the liquid into a collection vessel through the upper connection.
• The emission condenser is mounted to the front of the device: Here you can remove the black
plug in the vessel with a screwdriver and fit a special tap before using the device for the first time.
Via this tap, you can then empty the liquid directly into a collection vessel.
2. Dispose of the liquid in accordance with the current legal requirements and regulations for your
application.
If a temperature has been set, the rotor chamber is heated continuously, i.e. even when the
rotor has stopped and the lid is open. Therefore switch the device off after completing the
application or set the temperature to - - (no temperature set) if applicable.
Rotor A-2-VC: First remove the buckets, then grip the rotor at the rotor cross with both hands
to lift it out of the device.
