2. Replace the Teon tape on the seal beam if damaged and replace the sealing wire if kinked.

3. Replace the silicone rubber seal if it is burned in.

Depending on the type of machine, there are three seal beam versions:

1. Single-seal beam (T2).

2. Stainless steel seal beam.

3. Aluminum seal beam.

SINGLE-SEAL BEAM

REMOVE THE SEALING WIRE AND TEFLON TAPE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Grab the seal beam in the middle and pull it straight up and out of the machine.

2. The beam is held in place by 2 pins; some force may be necessary to loosen the beam.

3. Remove the brown Teon tape that is applied to the seal beam.

4. Remove the two screws on the underside of the seal beam; this releases the sealing wire.

5. Clean the seal beam thoroughly and remove any glue residue off the Teon tape.

NOTES

• Check the condition of the tensioning springs at both ends of the seal beam; replace if necessary.

• These springs maintain tension on the sealing wire.

• Using the seal beam without the springs may cause sealing wires to break.

INSTALL THE SEALING WIRE AND TEFLON TAPE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Position the sealing wire across the beam and fasten it on one side with a small bolt.

2. Apply tension on the wire by pulling it with a pair of pliers.

3. Fasten the wire on the opposite end of the beam with the second bolt and cut the wire to length; the ends of the sealing wire must be long enough to make electrical contact with the pins in the vacuum chamber.

4. Apply the Teon tape smooth and tight over the seal beam; make sure that the beam is clean and free of grease.

5. Re-install the beam in the vacuum chamber; check to make sure that the ends of the sealing wire make contact with the steel pins.

Maintenance

ALUMINUM/STAINLESS STEEL SEAL BEAM

REMOVE THE SEALING AND CUTTING WIRES AS FOLLOWS:

1. Remove the old wires by pulling them loose from the seal beam contacts.

2. Loosen the clamp screws and remove the seal beam from the U-prole.

3. Remove the Teon tape from the seal beam.

4. Remove the mounting plates on both ends of the seal beam by loosening the screws; this releases the sealing wires and/or sealing and cutting wires.

5. Clean the seal beam thoroughly.

NOTES

• After removal of the wires, check the strips of ber glass for damage; replace if necessary.

• Check the condition of the tensioning springs at both ends of the seal beam; replace if necessary.

• Using the seal beam without the springs may cause the sealing wires to break.

• Check contact plate for damage; replace if necessary.

INSTALL THE SEALING AND CUTTING WIRES AS FOLLOWS:

1. If necessary, install new strips of ber glass on the seal beam.

2. Insert the new wires behind one of the mounting plates and tighten the screws; make sure that the end of the wires line up with the bottom edge of the mounting plate.

3. Position the wires across the seal beam and loosely install the second mounting plate.

4. Carefully clamp the seal beam upside down in a bench vice.

5. Pull the wires as tightly as possible with a pair of pliers and secure the second mounting plate by tightening the screws.

NOTE

1. The wires can be further tightened by slightly loosening the screws of one of the mounting plates.

2. Pull the wires one-by-one tighter with a pair of pliers.

3. Re-tighten the screws after the correct tension has been achieved.

4. Cut the end of the wires ush with the bottom edge of the mounting plate.

5. Apply the Teon tape smooth and tight over the seal beam without creases. Make sure that the beam is clean and free of grease.

6. Re-install the seal beam in the vacuum chamber and re-connect the wires.

ALUMINUM T-SHAPED SEAL BEAM

REMOVE THE SEALING WIRES AS FOLLOWS:

1. Remove the seal beam from the machine.

2. Remove the Teon tape.

3. Loosen the screws on both sides of the beam; this will release the sealing wires.

4. Clean the seal beam thoroughly.

INSTALL THE SEALING WIRES AS FOLLOWS:

1. Apply new ber glass to the beam if necessary.

2. Place new wires on the beam and fasten them on one side with mounting plates; tighten the screws.

Maintenance

3. Position the wires across the beam.

4. Fasten mounting plates; tighten screws.

5. Carefully clamp the beam in a bench vice.

6. Pull the wires as tightly as possible with a pair of pliers.

7. Secure the mounting plates with the screws.

NOTES

• Check the strip of ber glass for damage and replace if necessary.

• Check the springs and replace if necessary.

• Using the seal beam without the springs may cause the sealing wires to break.

APPLYING TEFLON TAPE TO SEAL BEAM

1. Position the new Teon tape on the seal beam and cut out the corners.

2. Remove the protective backing from the Teon tape.

3. Apply the new tape to the seal beam; the tape has an adhesive strip on both sides.

4. Slide the seal beam onto the pins in the vacuum chamber (machines with transparent cover).

5. Slide the seal beam in the holder of the cover, tighten the mounting screws, and re-connect the wires (machines with metal cover).

NOTE

• The Teon tape must not adhere to the tension blocks.

REPLACING SILICONE RUBBER SEAL OF COUNTER BEAM

The rubber seal is clamped in the counter beam. Replace the counter beam seal as follows:

1. Pull the old rubber seal from the groove in the counter beam.

2. Clean the groove.

3. Evenly press the new rubber seal into the groove and make sure that it does not stick out at either end of the counter beam.

RUBBER SEAL OF VACUUM CHAMBER COVER

To assure that the vacuum chamber is properly sealed, it is important that the rubber seal is in good condition

and is not damaged. Replace the cover seal as follows:

1. Copy the length of the original rubber seal.

2. Pull the original rubber seal from the groove.

3. Clean the groove.

4. Evenly press the rubber seal into the groove; position the ends of the seal tightly against each other to prevent leakage.

STRUTS, DAMPERS AND SPRINGS

• Machines with transparent covers are equipped with gas struts to open the cover.

• Machines with metal covers are equipped with oil dampers and springs to open the cover.

• Have the struts, dampers and springs checked by your dealer once every 5 years and have them replaced

as necessary.

• Have the gas struts replaced if the lid no longer opens properly.

Maintenance

VACUUM HOSES AND TUBES

• Check the vacuum hoses and tubes for kinks, tears and porosity; replace if necessary.
