Using this outlet provides an extra measure of protection for your pump. The RVT4104 employs a cascade (dual compressor) refrigeration system to achieve its low operating temperatures. The RVT100 and RVT400 have a single-stage refrigeration system.
Provide adequate ventilation. Refrigerated traps are air-cooled and require at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance for ambient air suction. The RVT100 and RVT400 draw air inward from the right side. The RVT4104 draws air from the left side. Ambient temperature must not exceed +90 °F (+32 °C) during operation.

SpeedVac into the center of the vessel. An insulating foam cover fits over the GIT to seal in the cold and seal out atmospheric condensation from the refrigerated chamber. The GIT100 is used with the 1-liter RVT100, and the GIT400 is used with the 4-liter RVT400 and RVT4104.

Installation of Glass Condensation Flasks (GCF400) These are ordered separately. The GCF400 is an open-mouth flask used with the 4-liter traps RVT400 and RVT4104. The wide mouth facilitates easier cleaning and removal compared to a GIT-type flask. A rubber Flask Cover (FC400) fits over the top, and tubing attaches to this by means of fittings pushed into molded ports on the rubber cover.
OPERATION All models. After preparing the unit as described in Section 2.3, switch it ON. The power switch, located on the front panel (RVT100, RVT400) or on the left side (RVT4104) of the instrument, illuminates when on. Immediately verify by touch that the trap is drawing air through the vent on the right side (left side for RVT4104).
CryoCool, remove with a pipette. Failure to follow these precautions may cause the glass vessel to break when the trap returns to operating tem- perature. SPECIFICATIONS COLD TRAPS RVT100 RVT400 RVT4104 Operating Temperature* -50 °C -50 °C...

APPENDIX 1 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Replenishing CryoCool Heat Transfer Fluid. When cold, CryoCool condenses water vapor ® from the air and develops a build-up of ice. This process is accelerated in humid environ- ments. Loose crystals may be removed with a strainer. Periodically, the CryoCool must be refreshed if: You see an ice build-up on the stainless steel chamber walls;...
