Page 6: Setting Up
Setting up Observe the general information, NOTICE d=16 mm always connect recipients (load/vacuum vessel/glass cooler) at their highest points to the suc- tion line. This will prevent the risk of ﬂuid entering into the vacuum controller or pump. Install a separator (e.g. Woulff bottle) infront of the intake moun- ting to protect against the ingress of liquid.
Page 7 Connecting the interfaces P: PT 1000 temperature sensor Connect the vacuum hoses, pay attention to the following con- nections (also see Fig. 1): Connect the optional IKA ® PT 1000.60, PT 1000.61 or 1000.70 PT temperature sensor (accessory). The measured temperature (e.g. J: Load tempering bath) is shown on the display.

Page 13 Menu details Pump Modes Pump % By selecting the “Pump %” menu item, the pump can be operated continuously with a running performance of between 100 % and 1 %. Program Under the “Programs” menu, 10 user-deﬁned pressure-time proﬁ- les can be created. The last measurement taken can also be view- ed in this menu and saved as a program.
Page 14 Limits In this menu, limits for the target value can be set. Hysteresis With the “Hysteresis” option, the switching frequency and control accuracy can be inﬂuenced when in a steady state. The hysteresis value determines the upper and lower limits of the target value and therefore the closing and opening of the pump and valve (only for two-position control).
Page 15 Temperature Temperature sensor In the ”Temperature” menu the user can specify that the tem-pera- ture sensor is displayed on the display/working screen. A tick ( ) shows that the option is activated. The precondition for this is that a temperature sensor is connec- ted to the vacuum controller.
Page 16 Operating mode Operating mode A: In this operating mode, the set target value is not saved when the current run comes to an end or the device is switched off. Operating mode B: In this operating mode, the set target value is saved when the current run comes to an end or the device is switched off, and the value can be changed.
Page 17 Details for editing the program In this program, user can deﬁne up to 10 segments. The selected segment is highlighted. Then, the user can edit, delete or insert a segment in this program. The program is save automa- tically. Edit: If the background of a selected value is yellow, the user can change the setting of the pressure value or the time value.
Page 18 Safety In the “Password“ menu, the user can protect the vacuum cont- roller settings using a password. (factory setting: 000) Service In the “Service” menu, the valves and the pump can be operated individually and also checked to ensure that they are operating correctly.
