Features & beneFits
Moisture sensor protects the
vacuum pump by preventing
refrigeration or vacuum startup when moisture is detected
in the collector chamber area.
LCD displays system set-up
and operating parameters and
alarm messages.
Easy-to-follow operating
instructions are printed on the
right hand side.
Rear-mounted electrical
receptacle allows connection of
the vacuum pump (pump sold
separately).
Collector drain hose is accessible from the right-hand side for
convenient disposal of defrosted
material. It extends about nine
inches and retracts within the
cabinet when not in use.
Benchtop cabinet has small
footprint. Compact cabinet
of durable powder-coated steel
with brushed stainless steel
front panel and four rubber
feet fits easily atop a counter
top or laboratory cart.
Vacuum break valve protects
the system from oil back
streaming by bleeding air into
the system when power to the
freeze dryer or vacuum pump
is shut off. If a brief power
outage occurs (approximately
5 minutes), the freeze dryer
will restart and the refrigera
tion and vacuum system will
resume operation once power
is restored. If the power failure
is long (approximately 5 minutes) and the collector warms
above safe limits, the freeze
dryer will not automatically
restart, which prevents melted
sample from being drawn into
the collector and liquid from
harming the vacuum pump.
-
-
-
Automatic start-up is quick and
easy to use. Pressing one button
initiates the collector cool-down
and vacuum pull-down sequence.
Or, manually override this feature
at any time using the separate
switches for manual refrigeration
and vacuum.
ETL listed. Models for operation on 115 volts, 60 Hz or 230
volts, 60 Hz carry the ETL mark
signifying they are certified to
UL and CAN/CSA standards for
laboratory equipment.
12-Port Drying Chamber
7522800 is included. No
additional drying accessory
is required. Alternate drying
accessories may be purchased
separately.
CE marking. All 230 volt,
50 Hz models conform to the
CE (European Community)
directives.
Vacuum control valve main
tains setpoint vacuum level to
speed the freeze dry process.
-
Upright, stainless steel collector
chamber speeds and simpli
fies defrost. Hot water may be
poured into the chamber, or
collected ice may be allowed
to melt overnight. Models are
available with PTFE-coated
collector chamber and coils for
additional corrosion resistance.
Rear-mounted RS-232 port
may be used to transmit data
to a user-supplied computer.
The time between data trans
missions may be set to occur at
10, 30, 60, 300 or 600 second
intervals.
Vacuum and temperature
graphs display relative system
vacuum and collector tem
perature. Amber LED “waves”
illuminate when vacuum and
temperature levels are out of
range for adding samples. Green
LED lights indicate that condi
tions are right to add samples.
Red alarm light flashes and
beeper sounds to indicate that
an abnormal system event
has occurred. Pressing the
Menu Switch displays the
alarm message on the LCD.
HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration
system ensures rapid,
environmentally-safe cooling.
Two condensing modules, used
in series, cool the collector coil
to -105
°
C (-157° F) at 60 Hz
or -102° C (-152° F) at 50 Hz,
ideal for freeze drying samples
with very low eutectic points,
including ones containing dilute
methanol or ethanol. The sys
tems use a refrigerant that contains no ozone-damaging hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) or
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Factory wired. All models
include a 3-wire cord with
20 amp NEMA plug.

the refrigeration system was serviced and the total number of hours
of vacuum pump operation and time since the vacuum pump was
serviced (in hours).
•
Red alarm light that flashes and beeper that sounds to indicate that
an abnormal system event has occurred, including: power failure,
improper line voltage supply, collector temperature rise above -40
service vacuum pump (after 1000 hours of vacuum use), and moisture
in collector. Pressing the Menu Switch displays the alarm message on
the LCD.
