Use
WARNING
The device must not be used for:
- evacuating biological habitats,
-
evacuating explosive, corrosive
or similar gases,
- throughput/use of liquids
The device is not suitable for:
- pumping up objects
- pumping liquids
- use in potentially explosive
atmospheres
- underwater
- underground
Set up
the IKA Vacstar control in a spa-
cious area on an even, stable, clean,
non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
Intended use
Useful information
DANGER
You can
prevent
the
release of
solvent vapours
into
the
atmosphere
using
a VSE 1.
WARNING
If the pump (station) generates vi-
bration, the Wireless Controller
must be bolted to the pump using
the screw (p. 11), or positioned re-
motely from the stirrer (station)
whilst it is running.
CAUTION
Special care must be taken when
working with gas mixtures that in-
clude condensable gases (e.g. sol-
vents). If diaphragm pumps are
used with such gases they condense
in the pump’s air flow. This leads to
a build-up of pressure in the vacu-
um chamber, which in turn influenc-
es the effectiveness and service life
of the diaphragms and valves.
CAUTION
If liquid or condensate enters the
vacuum chambers, the specified
minimum working pressure is no
longer achieved.
To
protect
the inner valves and
diaphragms against liquid, use an
upstream condensate separator,
such as a Woulff bottle.
It is generally recommended that
you run the pump with no load at
the end of the
process
(no-load
operation, approx. 3 up to max. 5
minutes) to dispel any residues in
the pump.
If applicable, vent the recipient.
To do this, remove the suction line
during manual operation.
NOTE
Observe the operating instructions
of the relevant devices.
Area of use (indoor use only)
- Laboratories - Schools
- Pharmacies - Universities
The device is suitable for use in all areas (EMC class A and B).
The laboratory diaphragm vacuum pump IKA
Vacstar
Control used
together with other laboratory devices to create and maintain vac-
uum. Vacuum controller and vacuum sensor is part of the device.
Along with the accessories recommended by IKA, the vacuum
pump IKA Vacstar control is suitable for controlled evacuation to a
specified final pressure e.g. for operating an IKA
rotary evaporator.
It can also be used for classical separation, filtration or drying in
the laboratory.
With the integrated vacuum controller, the IKA Vacstar control can
operate automatically, for boiling point detection, scheduled pres-
sure-time curves or programs from the solvent library.
Intended use: Tabletop device
Wireless remote control
Before using the wireless link between the Wireless Controller
(WiCo) and the laboratory device, first check whether your region
is included in the radio communications approval for the device.
If it is not, WiCo must remain on the station.
The safety of the user cannot be ensured:
• if modifications are made to the device or parts of the device
by third parties!
• if the device is operated in contravention of the safety instructions!
