Electrical Requirements
The CentriVap Concentrator requires a dedicated grounded electrical outlet. This
outlet requires a 15 Amp circuit breaker or fuse for models rated at 115V (60 Hz).
An 8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 230V (50/60 Hz).
If the power cord supplied with the Concentrator does not match the available
receptacle, replace it with an approved power cord of the suitable style. See
CentriVap Components in Chapter 3 for power cord specifications.
The CentriVap Cold Trap requires a dedicated electrical outlet. 115V (-50°C &
-85°C) Models require a 15 Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 115V (60 Hz).
115V (-105°C) Models require a 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 115V (60
Hz). 230V Models require an 8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 230V (50/60
Hz). If the power cord supplied with the Cold Trap does not match the available
receptacle, replace it with an approved power cord of the suitable style. See
CentriVap Components in Chapter 3 for power cord specifications.
Location and Exhaust Requirements
The CentriVap Concentrator should be located on a surface that is stable, flat and
level.
WARNING: The CentriVap System should be located within a fume hood if
hazardous or flammable solvents are used. Heating of materials could lead
to the liberation of hazardous gases. In all cases, regardless of the solvent
used, it is strongly recommended that the vacuum pump is vented in a fume
hood. An accessory secondary trap is available to minimize the exhausting of
solvents into the atmosphere. This does not, however, negate the need to
exhaust the vacuum pump into a fume hood. Failure to properly vent the
CentriVap will expose personnel to potentially harmful chemicals.
The CentriVap has not been evaluated by an approval agency for the use of
biological, radio toxins or flammable liquids or materials.
