Operating manual 1.6 Symbol meanings Symbol on the machine: Caution! General danger zone. Before using the DancerPlus, the operating manual must be read and the safety-related information must be observed! Symbol in this document: Caution! General danger zone. This symbol indicates safety-related information and identifies potentially dangerous situations. -
Page 8: Safety Information
▪ Only connect the DancerPlus to a residual current circuit breaker with a shockproof socket, only use a power cable that fulfils the regulations and is in flawless condition. Defective or inadequate earthing may have fatal consequences. -
Page 9: Operating Personnel Requirements
1.8 Operating personnel requirements The DancerPlus, as well as other devices connected to it within the system (such as the vacuum pump or cold trap), may only be operated and serviced by personnel of the legal minimum age who have been instructed on how to do so. -

(mine water, dependent on chloride concentration), zinc chloride (ZnCl2), tin (IV) chloride (SnCl4), tin ammonium hexachloride When evaporating the aforementioned solvents using the DancerPlus, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the vacuum chamber and rinsing it daily. This includes the tube connection system for the vacuum pump and, if required, for the cold trap, as well as the cold trap chamber. -

Page 17: Sample Racks
Sample racks There are several racks available for working with the DancerPlus. All racks contain bores enabling each one to be screwed to the shaking plate. You may also choose the FAST option to connect the rack to the shaking plate without having to use screws. - Page 18 If the PTFE sleeve is scraped, this may cause a leakage which will prevent the vacuum pump from being able to reach the final value. In both cases, the guarantee on a new temperature sensor, its installation and potential transport costs will become void.

Page 19: Installation
Diaphragm and rotary vane pumps are all suitable for operation with the DancerPlus. We recommend that you use a Vacuubrand® PC3003 Vario diaphragm pump for the careful constriction or evaporation of solvents. This will allow pumping to be carried out at time-controlled gradients, as well as with automatic boiling pressure detection and tracking. -
Page 20: When Using A Vacuubrand® Diaphragm Pump Without The Polestar Cold Trap
2.3.5 When using a Vacuubrand® rotary vane pump and PoleStar cold trap: Fit the metal tube of the DancerPlus vacuum connection to prevent liquid build-ups or siphons in the metal tube. The outlet of the rotary vane pump contains oil particles; this is not permitted in a cleanroom environment, i.e. -
Page 21: Mains Inlet Device Socket And Mains Switch
Please check the mains connection values on the label (rating plate) (see Fig. 11 no.3) on the rear side of the DancerPlus (see Fig. 6 no. 5) with regard to the power outlet to be used and observe the country-specific regulations (e.g. in Germany, DIN VDE 0100, power outlet with residual current device). -
Page 22: Individual Operating Functions
The release valve switch (Fig. 5 no. 4) is used to block or open the release inlet (Fig. 6 no. 3) on the rear side of the DancerPlus. The valve opens in a de-energised state so that the samples can be removed from the DancerPlus in the event of a power interruption. -

Page 25: Cleaning Carried Out By The User
3.1 Cleaning carried out by the user 3.1.1 Precautions Before carrying out any cleaning work, the DancerPlus must be switched off and the device connection cable (power cord) unplugged on both sides! Before using a cleaning agent or decontaminant other than those recommended by the manufacturer, the user must check with the manufacturer that the planned procedure will not damage the device. -
Page 26: Housing Parts
The vacuum chamber of the DancerPlus can, depending on the degree of contamination, may be cleaned with glass cleaning agents, ethanol 70% and, if required, with standard stainless-steel cleaning agents. Ensure that no rusty objects come into contact with the vacuum chamber. -
Page 27: Rack And Shaking Plate
This will include the device interior being cleaned, all wearing parts and safety elements being checked (and replaced if required), and a safety measurement being carried out. The DancerPlus and its system devices will also be tested for correct functioning. -
Page 28: Storage
3.3 Storage When the DancerPlus is taken out of operation, the storage requirements in accordance with the technical data, chapter 1.4 must be adhered to.
