DANGER
During the evaporation process, the housing, lid and interior of the
rotational vacuum concentrator can reach surface temperatures of more
than +50°C.
Risk of burns!
Warm-up
Before starting an evaporation process, the vacuum pump and the cooling
trap should warm-up until they reach their respective operating
temperatures.
For this purpose, the warm-up phase can be started with or without a rotor.
The time and the temperature can be preselected (see chapter 6.5.3.3 -
"Options").
During the warm-up phase, the following processes take place:
• The rotor chamber is preheated - with or without a rotor - when the lid is
closed.
• The vacuum pump is switched on, the stop valve is closed. After the
warm-up phase, the following message is displayed:
Fig. 21: Message after the warm-up
• Open the lid and remove the rotor in order to load it with the product or
insert the loaded rotor.
• Close the lid. A menu appears:
Fig. 22: Selection for continuing the evaporation
• Continue the process by selecting the desired phase.
Stopping the warm-up phase prematurely
During the warm-up phase, the functions "Open lid", "Continue with phase",
or "Stop warm-up" can be selected with the left-hand function key "mode".
If one of these functions is selected, the warm-up phase will be stopped
prematurely.
Evaporation manual
If the unit is in the standby mode, the evaporation phase can be started
directly without a warm-up phase. For this purpose, select from the menu
"Start with phase" the item "Evaporation manual".
