SITE PREPARATION
The trap is typically placed on a bench top at least 26 inches (66 cm) deep and
located near a power outlet of the required voltage. The outlet must have a rating of
at least 15 A for 120V operation, or 10 A for 240 V operation. The trap draws high
current when first switched on; therefore, other high-powered equipment, or
equipment that will be affected by a momentary drop in power, should not be
placed on the same circuit as the trap. The refrigerated trap and SpeedVac
also be installed on a sturdy mobile cart, such as the Deluxe Convenience Cart,
(CC120/DX).
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.

OTHER COMPONENTS
The following accessories are ordered separately:
Glass Insert Trap and Flasks.
RVT100; order wide-mouth GCF400 flask (4-liter Glass Condensation Flask) for the

Heat Transfer Fluid.
alternative to methanol or ethanol. CryoCool does not evaporate, has very low
water absorption, is odorless, and non-toxic. Order SCC1 for a 1-liter bottle; order
SCC5 for a 5-liter bottle.
In addition, a complete line of other components required for drying, including
vauum tubing kits, Quick-Fit Connectors to enable rapid changing of GIT100 and
GIT400 Glass Insert Traps, and replacement Flask Covers for the GCF400 is available.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Switch the trap OFF . Connect the power cord to the receptacle on the right side of
the instrument. Plug the trap into an appropriate wall outlet.
CAUTION: Before connecting the Refrigerated Vapor Trap to an out-
let, check voltage, frequency, and amperage to be sure they match
the power requirements indicated on the label on the right side (left
side for RVT4104) of each instrument. (RVT100, RVT400: 120 VAC/60
Hz, 4A; 240 VAC/50 Hz, 2 A, RVT4104: 120 VAC/60 Hz, 12 A, 240
VAC/50 Hz, 6 A.) If there are any questions, please consult an electrician.
As a safety feature, units are equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that fits a
grounding-type power outlet. Consult an electrician to replace outlet if necessary.
Do not defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug.
Order GIT100 (1-liter Glass Insert Trap) for the
System set up. Also includes rubber Flask Cover, tubing cutter
