To prevent damage to pump due to vapor exposures from
sample solvent and to extend pump life, a vapor trap that
condenses and traps vapors must be placed in line between
the SpeedVac Concentrator and Vacuum Pump.
After the components placement, connect the system
together using the Tubing set provided with kit. Connect the
system based on kit ordered. For connection details &
component details of each kit see, .
If the accessory Secondary Trap (SCT 120) is not used,
attach the other end of the tube to the inlet port on the
Vacuum Pump. If the accessory Secondary Trap (SCT 120) is
used, install the Secondary Trap as explained in Optional
Post-Secondary Trap. Then attach the tube from the Cold
Trap Cover to the "IN" connector on the Secondary Trap.
Attach another tube from the remaining connector on the
Secondary Trap (SCT 120) to the outlet port on the vacuum.
Electrical Connection
Connect the power cord to the power inlet on the back of the
unit and plug it into the appropriate outlet. Turn on the main
power switch located on the front of the unit in the lower right
to energize the unit. The safety lid locking mechanism on the
SRF110 will automatically disengage. Do not attempt to open
the lid unless the unit is plugged in.
The SRF110 Refrigerated Concentrator requires a dedicated
grounded electrical outlet. This outlet requires a 20 Amp
circuit breaker or fuse for models rated at 115 V (60 Hz). An
8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at
230 V (50/60 Hz). 115 V models are equipped with a 20 Amp
NEMA 5-20P plug. 230 V models are available with a PS1363
plug for use in the UK or a CHI-10P plug for use in China or a
CEE7/7 plug for use in the EU. If this does not match with the
available receptacle, remove this plug and replace it with an
approved plug of the suitable style.
It is recommended that an emergency switch for
disconnecting the mains in the case of a malfunction is
located remote from the SRF110. It should be outside the
room in which the SRF110 is housed, or adjacent to the exit
from that room.
Rotor Installation
Open the lid of the rotor chamber. Carefully lower the rotor
onto the drive shaft. Place the rotor onto the shaft of the
Concentrator. Rotate the rotor slightly to engage the drive pin
in the shaft with the slots in the rotor hub. The top of the shaft
should be in line with the top of the rotor hub.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use a rotor if it shows any signs
of damage. Failure of a spinning rotor could damage the
SRF110 or cause samples to be lost.
6 | Installation
CAUTION: Use appropriate Thermo Fisher
Scientific designed rotors recommended for the
product. Use of non standard rotors may
damage the product.
CAUTION: Load the rotor and close the lid.
Always balance rotor loads. An imbalanced rotor
causes vibration that will damage the system's
bearings and equipment. Load the rotor
symmetrically. There need not be a tube in each
holder, but the load must be evenly distributed.
When using a rotor with aluminum tube holders,
insert all the tube holders.
