of the machine.
• Push the on/off button on the control panel of the machine.
GAS CONNECTION FOR MAP APPLICATIONS (MODIFIED ATMOSPHERIC PACKAGING)
• Connect the gas supply line to the inlet on the back of the machine.
• Maximum pressure: 1 bar.
• Anchor the gas cylinders securely to prevent them from falling over.
• Make sure that the work area is well-ventilated.
• To assure that you use the appropriate gas for your application, consult your dealer or gas supplier.
• Assure a good connection and use high-quality materials.
6
Installation

• Additional sealing pressure is usually recommended for MAP applications only.
• The M40-M80 and the L10-L60 models with the option Gas/MAP are standard equipped with a compressed
air inlet.
• Extra sealing pressure is not necessary and not available for the Table-Top, M10, M20, M30.
• Consult your dealer for installation details.
• Maximum pressure: 1 bar.
• Assure a good connection and use high-quality connector.
Operation
DIGITAL CONTROL WITH LCD DISPLAY
Some Henkovac vacuum machines have a control system with just one Program (P1). Other machines have
an optional expanded control system, which can accommodate up to 9 custom programs (P1-9).
ONE-PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM
Henkovac machines with the One-Program control system can be programmed for the following 2 functions:
1. Vacuum time (seconds).
2. Sealing time (seconds).
• The values for vacuum and sealing times are selected by the user and saved in program P1.
• During operation, the LCD display will show symbols to indicate the active function and the progress of the
packing cycle.
• The actual vacuum pressure is indicated by the analog vacuum gauge.
PLUG AND PLAY
• When turning on the machine for the rst time:
- Running time of the vacuum pump is pre-set at 30-40 seconds and the sealing time at 2 seconds.
Vacuum is indicated on the analog vacuum gauge.
• When turning on the machine after that, program P1 will contain the most-recently used settings.
• The vacuum and sealing times are easily adjusted to match the needs for the application.
7
Operation
OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH ONE-PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM
On: Turns the machine on:
• The machine will start up in the most-recently used program.
• The pump of a machine with a transparent cover will start when the cover is closed.
Off: Turns the machine off:
• When pressing the button once, the symbol will start blinking and the pump will stop
after about 4 seconds.
• When pressing the button a second time, the pump will stop immediately.
• Closing the cover will initiate the cool-down phase; the machine will complete a number of
vacuum cycles before turning off automatically.
Stop-function:
• Stops the machine at any point in the packing cycle and aerates the chamber.
Reset-function:
• While programming, resets the program value to its original setting.
Press the menu button to return to the Home menu

display shows the hours or cycles, press and hold the button.
TEN-PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM
In addition to vacuum and sealing times, Henkovac machines with a Ten-Program control system may be
programmed for several additional functions. Each of the 9 customizable programs is either:
1. Time controlled.
2. Sensor controlled.
TIME-BASED OPERATION (VACUUM GAUGE: MBAR)
• The values for vacuum and sealing time, as well as the values for several optional functions, are selected
by the customer and saved in any of 9 customizable programs P1-9.
• When operating a packaging machine with a time-based program, the actual vacuum pressure is indicated
by the analog vacuum gauge. The number of seconds of vacuum time remaining is shown on the LCD
display.
PLUG AND PLAY

• A machine with a time-based control program can be upgraded to sensor-based operation at a later date
by installing the optional sensor kit.
• The Soft-Air feature can also be installed at a later date by ordering the optional soft-air kit.
SENSOR-BASED OPERATION (DIGITAL DISPLAY: MBAR)
• When operating a packaging machine with a sensor-based program, the actual vacuum pressure is digitally
shown on the LCD display in mbar (standard setting) or in % vacuum.
PLUG AND PLAY
• When turning on a sensor-based machine for the rst time, it will start up in the PA program AUTOMATIC.
This is a pre-set factory program with 5 mbar of vacuum and 2 seconds of sealing time.
• When turning on the machine after that, it will start up in the most-recently used program.
