Connecting the interfaces
Connect the vacuum hoses, pay attention to the following con-
nections (also see Fig. 1):
J: Load
Hose connection d=10 mm to the system to be evacuated (reci-
pient).
K: Pump
Hose connection d=10 mm to the vacuum source (e.g. pump).
I: Vent
Ventilation connection d=10 mm, also suitable for the connection
of inert gas.
Secure the hoses with hose clamps, if necessary.
Lay the vacuum hoses according to your device configuration.
Now connect the connecting cables according to your system
configuration:
L: Mini USB Interface
Connect the VC 10 vacuum controller to a PC using the USB 2.0
cable (A/Micro-B).
Software updates to any existing equipment can be installed using
the IKA ® FUT software tool.
M: RS 232 Interface
®
You can connect the IKA
an RS 232 interface cable. The pump can be operated in conjunc-
tion with other devices using IKA
ware. For more information see Chapter "Interfaces and outputs".
O: VC 2.4 pump control
Connect the control cable of optional VC 2.4 pump control.
Connect the power plug of the vacuum pump to the power outlet
of the VC 2.4 pump control.
The pump is switched on/off in two-point control mode. In con-
junction with the
IKA ® MVP 10 digital membrane vacuum pump, please note that
you must operate the pump in operating mode "B".
Two-position control
Vacuum pump/vacuum source with IKA
ler.
Once the target value is reached, the suction line is closed by the
vacuum valve integrated in the IKA
The pump speed can be changed by manually adjusting the speed
setting.
For pumps which have the speed setting option, it is recommen-
ded to work at low speed.
When using the optional VC 2.4 pump control (Pos. 6), the pump
is switched off once the target value is reached.

VC 10 vacuum controller to a PC using
®
®
labworldsoft laboratory soft-
® VC 10 vacuum control-
® VC 10 vacuum controller.
When using the IKA ® MVP 10 digi-
tal membrane vacuum pump: The
pump must be operated in mode
"B" (restart after voltage drop).
P: PT 1000 temperature sensor
Connect the optional IKA ®
temperature sensor (accessory). The measured temperature (e.g.
tempering bath) is shown on the display.
The value displayed is for information purposes only and is not
processed logically.
Note that the value displayed is dependent on the positioning of
the sensor in the medium, its mixing, as well as the calibration
of the probe and can deviate from other measured temperature
values.
Incorrect or fluctuating measured values can be displayed by using
a heating bath, e.g. by laying the sensor on the heating bath floor,
instead of positioning in the medium.
Q: IKA ® MVP 10 digital membrane vacuum pump (Mini DIN)
You can connect the vacuum controller and the IKA
digital membrane vacuum pump to the analogue IKA
MVP 10.100 connection cable (accessory) for exact speed-cont-
rolled vacuum control. The vacuum controller detects the
pump and switches to speed-vacuum control mode. The two-po-
sition control is disabled. The pump speed is regulated depending
on the measured pressure.
R: Connector for 24 W AC adapter
Connect the universal AC adapter (included) to the socket on the
rear. Observe the country-specific variants of the AC adapter!
Explanation of abbreviations used in the following schema-
tic drawings and configurations:
1 Recipient (load, e.g. rotary evaporator, reactor)
2 Separator (Woulff bottle)
3 Venting valve
4 Pressure sensor
5 Vacuum valve/ball valve
6 VC 2.4 pump control
7 Vapour condenser
8 MVP 10.100 connection cable (analogue)
9 Vacuum source (pump, in-house vacuum)
10 VC 10.300 Check valve
This device configuration is also possible without the IKA
VC 2.4 pump control.
Once the target value is reached the vacuum valve integrated in
the IKA ® VC 10 switches. The pump then starts.
The vacuum source can also be a central in-house vacuum net-
work.
