Dear customer,

Your VACUUBRAND controllers are designed to provide you with many years of trouble-free service with optimal performance. Our many years of practical experience allow us to provide a wealth of application and safety information. Please read these instructions for use before the initial operation of your controller.

VACUUBRAND controllers combine our many years of experience in design, construction and practical operation, with the latest developments in material and manufacturing technology.

Our quality maxim is the ”zero defect” principle:

Every controller, before leaving our factory, is tested intensively, including an endurance run. Any faults, even those which occur rarely, are identified and can be eliminated immediately.

After completion of the endurance run, every controller is tested, and must achieve specifications before shipment.

We are committed to providing our customers only controllers that meet this high quality standard.

While our controllers cannot eliminate all of your work, we design, manufacture and test them to ensure that they will be an effective and troublefree tool to assist you in that work.

Yours,

VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG

Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing (e.g., make sure that pipelines cannot become blocked) to avoid a risk of bursting!

Keep the VACUU•BUS cables away from heated surfaces.

•Comply with maximum permissible pressures at the pressure transducer. See section “Technical data”, pg.

21.

•Connect hoses gas tight at the measurement connection.

•Secure hoses at hose nozzles (e.g., with hose clamp) to prevent their accidental slipping.

•Check the power source and the equipment’s rating plate to be sure that the power source and the equipment

page 15 of 80

match in voltage, phase, and frequency.

•When working with residues, aggressive or condensable media, install a gas washing bottle if necessary.

	Using a wall power supply, assemble and lock the suit-
NOTICE
	able power plug (included in shipment) to the power sup-
	ply prior to use.
	The controller is equipped with a short-circuit-proof, wide-
	range power supply with an integrated overload protec-
	tion.
	Avoid high heat supply (e.g., due to hot process gases).
	Position the controller CVC 3000 and its vacuum line in
	such a way that condensate cannot flow towards the pres-
	sure transducer.
	In case connect inert gas at the venting connection.
	Allow the equipment to equilibrate to ambient temperature
	if you bring it from cold environment into a room prior to
	operation. Notice if there is water condensation on cold
	surfaces.
	Comply with all applicable and relevant safety require-
	ments (regulations and guidelines). Implement the re-
	quired actions and adopt suitable safety measures.

Controllers without the ”`” mark on the rating plate are not approved for operation with dangerous or explosive gases or with potentially explosive or inflammable substances. Do not operate the controller with dangerous or explosive gases or with potentially explosive or inflammable substances.

Controllers bearing the ”`” mark on their rating plates are approved for operation with potentially explosive atmospheres according to their classification II 3G IIC T3 X according to ATEX, but they are

not approved for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres (see section “`Important information: Equipment marking (ATEX)”, pg. 19).

•Ensure that the materials of the controller’s wetted parts are compatible with the substances in the vacuum system, see section “Technical data”, pg. 21.

page 17 of 80

Safety during operation

Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting fluids, vapors and gases.

+Never operate this controller if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the controller is not working properly, has been dropped or has fallen into water, contact your service provider.

+Prevent any part of the human body from coming into contact with vacuum.

Attention: At pressures above approximately 795 Torr (1060 mbar) the pressure reading becomes incorrect due to saturation of the pressure transducer. The display flashes. Release pressure immediately! Risk of bursting!

•You must take suitable precautions to prevent any dangerous situation from arising if the controller starts a NT VARIO or VARIO-B pump, switches an in-line valve or a coolant valve, switches a vacuum pump (in combination with a VMS module), or opens a venting valve.

•Attention: If the controller is set to Autostart, the process will start immediately after a power failure without pressing any further key. It is your responsibility to ensure that automatic start-up of the system will not lead to any dangerous condition. Provide appropriate safety measures. Check prior to starting the process whether the option ”Autostart” (menu: configuration) is enabled.

		Electronic equipment is never 100% fail-safe. This may
	NOTICE
		lead to an ill-defined status of the equipment or of other
		connected devices. Provide appropriate protective mea-
		sures to allow for the possibility of failure and malfunction.
		The protective measures must also allow for the require-
		ments of the respective application.

page 18 of 80

Maintenance and repair

Switch off the controller. Disconnect the power supply and wait five seconds before starting maintenance to allow the capacitors to discharge.

Note: The equipment may be contaminated with chemicals, which have been processed during operation. Ensure that the controller is completely decontaminated before maintenance commences. Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous substances if contamination has occurred. Use appropriate protective clothing, safety goggles and protective gloves.

`Important information: Equipment marking (ATEX)

VACUUBRAND equipment bearing mark (see rating plate)

`II 3G IIC T3 X

Internal Atm. only Tech. File Ref.: VAC-EX01

and

VACUUBRAND equipment bearing mark (see rating plate)

`X see manual

For equipment labelled with „`X see manual“ the following classification according to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) is valid: ` II 3G IIC T3 X,

Internal Atm. only, Tech. File Ref.: VAC-EX01.

The classification II 3G IIC T3 X according toATEX is only valid for the inner part (wetted part, pumped gas or vapor) of the equipment. The equipment is not suitable for use in external, potentially explosive atmospheres

(environment).

The overall category of the equipment depends on the connected components. If the connected components do not comply with the classification of the VACUUBRAND equipment, the specified category of the

VACUUBRAND equipment is no longer valid.

Vacuum pumps and vacuum gauges in category 3 are intended for connection to equipment in which during normal operation explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapors or mists normally don’t occur; or, if they do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently and for a short period only. Equipment in this category ensures the requisite level of protection during normal operation.

The use of gas ballast or the operation of venting valves is only permitted if thereby explosive atmospheres normally don’t occur in the interior of the equipment or, if they do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently and for a short period.

page 20 of 80

The pumps are marked with ”X” (according to EN 13463-1), i.e., restrictions of the operation conditions:

•The equipment is designated for a low degree of mechanical stress and has to be installed in a way so that it cannot be damaged from outside.

Pumping units have to be installed so that they are protected against shocks from the outside and against glass splinters in the event of breakage (implosion).

•The equipment is designated for an ambient and gas inlet temperature during operation of +10 to +40°C. Never exceed these ambient and gas inlet temperatures. If pumping / measuring gases which are not potentially explosive, extended gas inlet temperatures are permissible. See instructions for use, section “Gas inlet temperatures” or “Technical data”.

After any intervention at the equipment (e.g., repair / maintenance) the ultimate vacuum of the pump has to be checked. Only if the pump achieves its specified ultimate vacuum is the pump’s leak rate low enough to ensure that no explosive atmospheres will occur in the interior of the equipment.

After any intervention at the vacuum sensor, the leak rate of the equipment has to be checked.

Attention: This manual is not available in all languages of the EU. The user must not operate the device if he does not understand this manual. In this case a technically correct translation of the complete manual has to be available. The manual must be completely read and understood before operation of the device. All specified measures must be applied, or else must be replaced by equivalent measures at the user’s own risk.

Use and operation

The CVC 3000 VACUUBRAND controller with internal pressure transducer and integrated venting valve can only be operated with components compatible with the VACUUBRAND VACUU•BUS system, (see “Accessories”, pg. 69). The CVC 3000 vacuum controller controls VACUUBRAND diaphragm pumps NT VARIO and VARIO-B, pumping units PC 30xx VARIO, and optional coolant and venting valves.

When switching on the controller CVC 3000 for the very first time, a menu to select the language of the controller menu is displayed. Select the desired language (e.g., ”English”) by turning the selection knob and press to confirm. Then select the pressure unit (”mbar”, ”Torr” or ”hPa”) in the same way.

It is possible to access the language selection menu at any time by switching on the controller while keeping the selection knob pressed.

After switching on the device, the version number of the software is displayed, followed by the preselected function and the pressure reading­ .

Connected components (e.g., venting valve, level sensor, external pressure transducer 3000 series) are automatically identified. Identical components must be configured beforehand; information upon request.

Do not use more than one controller within the same VACUU•BUS system. Several controllers in the same VACUU•BUS system will interfere with each other and result in error messages of the connected components (pumps, valves).

Attention: Do not assemble or remove plug connections off-axis! Orient the plug correctly before inserting. To connect additional components use VACUU•BUS Y-adapters and extension cables. If an external pressure transducer is connected, it is recognized automatically. Further information on how to use several sensors simultaneously is available upon request.
