Exhaust Port
Attach one end of a user-supplied hose to the exhaust port on the vacuum pump.
Clamp securely. Route the other end to a fume hood or other laboratory
ventilation device.
Installing a Secondary Chemical Trap Insert
A secondary chemical trap is included to minimize the exhausting of solvents into
the atmosphere. Unscrew the clear bowl of the canister housing from the head.
Remove both the upper and lower caps from the filter cartridge and insert the
small end of the cartridge into the hole in the center of the head. Reinstall the
clear bowl.
Be sure to use the proper cartridge for your application. A solvent cartridge is
included with the CentriVap Mobile Console. The moisture cartridge is used to
trap water vapor. The acid cartridge is used to trap acid vapors and the
radiochemical cartridge is used to trap radioactive waste.
When the media in the insert has changed color, discard the insert and replace it
with a new insert. For the radiochemical trap insert, no color indicator exists,
therefore it should be discarded after each use. Use a Geiger counter to monitor
the pump exhaust.
IMPORTANT: This radiochemical cartridge does not meet NRC filter
design recommendations.
After operating, properly dispose of all hazardous materials in compliance
with all applicable codes. Labconco is not responsible for improper disposal
of any materials.
Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the CentriVap Concentrator
and plug the other end into a suitable power receptacle. Plug the power cord from
the vacuum pump into the receptacle on the back of the Concentrator. If the
vacuum pump has an off/on switch, turn the switch on. The concentrator will
control the vacuum pump.
Rotor Installation
Place the rotor onto the shaft of the Concentrator. Rotate the rotor slightly to
engage the drive pin in the shaft with the slots in the rotor hub. The top of the
shaft should be in line with the top of the rotor hub.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a rotor if it shows any signs of damage.
