Page 13: Description Of The Machine
Description of the Machine This section provides an overview of the main components and functions. If detailed information is available in this manual, you will be referred to the specific sections. Overview of the Main Components The figure below shows the main components of the system. The model shown may differ from your machine. -
Page 14: Description Of The Packaging Process/Machine Functions
Control panel This serves to operate the available control functions. Depending on your model, your machine will have the 10-program control system or the Advanced Control System (ACS). Seal system Depending on the model, one, two or three sealing bars are mounted in the vacuum chamber. These close the vacuum bag. - Page 15 Step Process phase Operation Vacuum During the cycle, the air is removed from the chamber until the set time or pressure has been reached, depending on the selected model. Applying vacuum until a set value is reached is only possible if your machine is sensor-controlled (optional for 10-program control system).
- Page 16 Step Process phase Operation bursting, thus contaminating the seal, the chamber, and the oil in the pump. See Liquid Control (optional) on page 35. Liquid Control+ Liquid Control+ is only available if your machine is equipped (optional) with the Liquid Control option. The Liquid Control+ function allows you to continue the vacuum process for a certain time after the evaporation point has been reached.
- Page 17 Step Process phase Operation Vacuum+. The intermediate ventilation steps have a fixed value of 40%. After the last step, sealing takes place. Liquid Control: It is also possible to enable Liquid Control. This function will then only be active during the last vacuuming step.

Step Process phase Operation Removing the The operator can remove the packaged product from the product work surface. 4.2.2 General Functions Function Pictogram Operation Cleaning of the The pump cleaning program ensures that the pump is thoroughly oil pump rinsed. During the program, the pump and oil reach the operating temperature, so the oil and moisture are separated and any contamination is filtered. -
Page 19: Sealing System
Sealing System The sealing system closes the opening(s) of the bag to retain the vacuum and/or gas in the bag. The end of the bag can optionally be cut off by the sealing bar.

Page 23: Installation
Installation Consult Technical Data on page 63 for the specifications of the machine. Before installing the machine, carefully read the safety instructions in Safety on page 8. Failure to follow or disregard of the safety instructions may result in serious injury. Transportation and Installation The machine must be moved and transported in an upright position. -
Page 24: Prior To The First Use
Operating the machine with an incorrect direction of rotation results in damage to the pump, in which case no vacuum can be created. After connecting the machine to a different three- phase power supply, the direction of rotation should be checked again. If the direction of rotation is incorrect, two phases in the plug must be interchanged. -
