Step 1. Proper Electrical Supply
• 230V models
o 15-Amp dedicated single phase circuit. Additional
o Frequency must agree with the serial tag rating.
s
appliances on the same circuit may cause the current to
exceed the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse.
Improper frequency will damage the compressor.

Step 2. Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump Requirements
• 1 Liter, 2.5 Liter, 4.5 Liter models
o 88 liters per minute minimum displacement
o .002 mBar ultimate vacuum
• 6 Liter, 12 Liter, 18 Liter models
o 98 liters per minute minimum displacement
(144 liters per minute recommended)
o .002 mBar ultimate vacuum

Step 3. Vacuum Pump Set Up
• Remove protective caps from inlet and outlet

ports.
• Some vacuum pumps have inlet fittings that
screw into the inlet port. Make sure the O-ring
is on the sealing surface. Insert fitting into the
pump housing and tighten securely.
• Some vacuum pumps have inlet fittings that

clamp to the pump. Place the centering ring
with filter screen on the inlet fitting.
• Place the hose barb fitting on top of the
centering ring.

Clamp
• Secure the fitting with the clamp.
• Attach the exhaust filter to the exhaust port.
Some pumps have filters that screw in.
Others require that a centering ring is
placed on the fitting and then a clamp
secures it similar to the inlet fitting.
• NOTE: Rotary vane vacuum pumps
must have an exhaust filter to prevent
oil mist from exiting the pump and
depleting the oil supply.

• Fill the pump with oil so the level is between the lines on the sight gauge on the end of
the pump housing.
• Verify that the vacuum pump voltage setting agrees with the Freeze Dryer voltage
shown on the serial number label. Reconfigure if necessary. See pump instructions.
• Turn the vacuum pump power switch ON.
• Set the gas
ballast to
closed or
minimum
position.
Step 4. Vacuum Pump Connections
• Benchtop models
o Position the vacuum pump within 2 feet
of the .75-inch diameter port on the
back of the cabinet.
o Attach one end of the vacuum hose to
the port on the Freeze Dryer and the
other end to the inlet port of the
vacuum pump. Clamp both ends
securely.
o Connect the vacuum pump power cord
into the receptacle on the back of the
Freeze Dryer.
• Console models
o CAUTION - Make sure that power to
the Freeze Dryer is disconnected.
o Remove the front lower panel from the
Freeze Dryer by inserting a screw
driver into the slot below the center of
the front panel. Pivot the screwdriver
handle downward while pulling the
bottom of the panel outward.

o Place the vacuum pump inside the
cabinet.
o Connect the vacuum hose to the inlet
fitting of the vacuum pump. Clamp
securely.
o Reinstall the front panel by positioning the top edge
under the control panel and pushing the bottom
inward.
o CAUTION - Make sure that power to the
Freeze Dryer is disconnected before

removing the lower back panel. Do NOT
remove the upper back panel.
o Plug the vacuum pump power cord into the
receptacle in the junction box marked
Vacuum Pump.
o Replace the rear panel.

Step 5. Installing a Chamber or Manifold (except
4.5L models which have chamber already attached)
• 1L and 2.5L Models
o Place the collector chamber lid on top of the
chamber.
o Center the flat rubber gasket on the hole in the
center of the chamber lid.
o Place the chamber or manifold over the gasket.
o If installing chamber, insert plastic fitting
(7386901) through hole in the chamber and
through hole in the gasket.

(7386901)
• 6L, 12L and 18L Model Chambers
o Place the flat rubber gasket over the inlet port.
o Place the chamber over the gasket.
o Reaching into the chamber, set the stainless
steel ring over the port opening. Slide the lock pin
through the holes in the port and rotate over
center (stainless steel chamber only).

Step 6. Testing the System
• Connect the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the Freeze Dryer and insert
the other end into a suitable wall receptacle.
• Turn the power switch ON.
• Vacuum check
o Make sure the lid is on the collector and either a manifold
or chamber is in place.
o Close all manifold valves.
o Set the vacuum level for .002 mBar (except 1L models
without vacuum control).
o Press the Vacuum button.
o Vacuum should reach .133 mBar or less within 15
minutes.
• Refrigeration (leave the vacuum pump running)
o Press the Refrigeration button.
o Collector temperature should reach operating temperature
(-50°C or -84°C depending on the model) within 40
minutes.
• If the Freeze Dryer fails to perform as expected, consult the User’s Manual for
Nota bene. Questa guida rapida può non offrire tutte le informazioni necessarie
per l'installazione. Fare riferimento
al manuale operativo in merito ai particolari
ed alle precauzioni. Non smaltire l'imballaggio prima di identificare tutti i pezzi
spediti e verificare il buon funzionamento del liofilizzatore.

Passo 1. Alimentazione elettrica
• Modelli da 230 V, 50 Hz
o Circuito monofase dedicato da 15 A. L'alimentazione di
ulteriori dispositivi tramite lo stesso circuito può far sì che
la corrente superi il valore nominale dell'interruttore
automatico o del fusibile.
o La presa accetta una spina europea o del Regno Unito,
come illustrata.
o La frequenza deve corrispondere a quella indicata
sull'etichetta del numero di serie e dei valori nominali.
Una frequenza errata può danneggiare il compressore.

Passo 2. Requisiti della pompa a vuoto, rotativa a palette
• Modelli da 1 litro, 2,5 litri e 4,5 litri
o Portata minima di 88 litri al minuto (5,2 m3/h)
o Vuoto finale di 0,002 mbar
• Modelli da 6 litri, 12 litri e 18 litri
o Portata minima di 98 litri al minuto (5,9 m
(144 litri al minuto raccomandato)
o Vuoto finale di 0,002 mbar
• Requisiti di spina del cavo di alimentazione della pompa a vuoto
o Modelli da 230 V – spina IEC
• Connessione a portagomma per tubi a vuoto aventi un diametro
interno di 19 mm

Passo 3. Impostazione della pompa a vuoto
• Rimuovere i tappi di protezione dall'ingresso e
dall'uscita.

Ingresso con
portagomma
• Alcune pompe a vuoto sono dotate di raccordi
di ingresso filettati. Accertarsi che l'O-ring sia
ben posizionato sulla superficie di tenuta.
Inserire il raccordo nell'alloggiamento della
pompa e serrarlo saldamente.
• Altre pompe a vuoto sono dotate di raccordi di
ingresso a morsetto. Posizionare l'anello di
centraggio munito di filtro a retino nel raccordo
di ingresso.
• Posizionare il portagomma per tubi sopra
l'anello di centraggio.
• Fissare saldamente il raccordo con il
morsetto.
• Collegare il filtro all'uscita di scarico. Alcune
pompe sono dotate di filtri filettati. Altre
richiedono il posizionamento di un
anello di centraggio sul raccordo ed il
morsettaggio del filtro, ripetendo il
trattamento riservato al raccordo di
ingresso.
• NOTA BENE. Le pompe rotative a
palette devono essere munite di un
filtro di scarico per evitare l'emissione
di olio nebulizzato e la conseguente
deplezione della riserva di olio.
