  • Page 9: Controlling At A Setpoint

    SNAP ships with PID variables that are optimized for average vacuum hose lengths for 20 and 50 liter vessels. The SNAP is capable of controlling much smaller and larger vessels, but may require some PID tuning to optimize the control.

    SNAP is performing as it should. If the last 2 tests are different, it means the SNAP is not performing optimally. Please consult your vendor for technical assistance. © 2021 DigiVac Company®Allrights reserved. | 1020 Campus Drive, Morganville,NJ 07751 | (732) 765-0900...

    In many cases, a sensor may become fouled with oil or other foreign matter. It is often possible to restore the functionality of contaminated probes with cleaning. If the contaminant is known, the SNAP plumbing should be filled with a fluid that is known to be a solvent to that contaminant. Ethanol/alcohol are very powerful solvents and are highly effective against some contaminants.
