Setting Up Your Freeze Dryer
After you verify receipt of the proper components, move your
Freeze Dryer to the location where you want to install it. Then,
follow the steps listed below.
Vacuum Pump Connection
A vacuum pump as described in Chapter 2: Prerequisites is
required to operate your Freeze Dry System properly. The Freeze
Dryer is equipped with a 3/4" ID, heavy wall, vacuum hose for
connecting the collector chamber to the vacuum pump.
Make certain that the oil in the vacuum pump is
at the proper level.
Place the vacuum pump near the Benchtop Freeze Dryer.
Connect the vacuum pump power cord to the receptacle on the
back of the cabinet labeled “vacuum pump.” If the vacuum pump
has an off/on switch, turn the switch on. The vacuum pump will
be controlled by the Freeze Dryer. Connect the vacuum pump inlet
port to the vacuum tube on the back of the cabinet with the vacuum
hose and clamps provided. If necessary, cut the hose to proper
length to allow for gentle bends without kinks.
Models rated for use on 230V have a reverse IEC connector for
attaching the vacuum pump power cord. A plug is supplied that
can be installed on the vacuum pump power cord if necessary.
Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the Freeze
Dryer and plug the other end into a suitable power receptacle.
Drying Chamber or Drying Manifold
Installation
The drying chamber or drying manifold, purchased separately, may
be positioned directly above the 3-inch port on the top of the
Freeze Dryer. Follow the instructions supplied with the selected
accessory.
