  • Page 10: Product Description

    The Vacuum Pump V-100 is intended for evacuating laboratory apparatus to a termi- nal vacuum of 10 mbar (± 2 mbar). Once switched on, the V-100 runs in continuous mode unless it is connected to the Interface I-100 unit. In unregulated continuous mode, the pump runs at a maximum speed of 1280 rpm and generates a terminal vacuum of 10 mbar (± 2 mbar).
