Concentrator plus/Vacufuge® plus — Operating manual
5.3 Preparation for concentration
5.3.1 Switching on the device
 Switch on the device at the mains power switch.
• Display is active.
• Lid is released (lid indicator lamp lights up).
• You can now open the lid.
• The parameter settings of the last run are displayed.
5.3.2 Inserting the rotor
Proceed as follows when inserting the rotor:
1. Place rotor on the motor shaft.
2. Push rotor down using slight pressure until you encounter resistance.
5.3.3 Warm-up phase
The diaphragm vacuum pump reaches the displayed output and the ultimate pressure (see p. 41)
only after the device has gone through a 15 minute warm-up phase. The warm-up phase reduces
the condensation of liquid in the pump and on the lid of the rotor chamber and therefore prolongs
the service life of the pump.
1. time arrow keys: set time to 15 minutes.
2. brake: switch brake on or off.
3. temp: select temperature.
Hint!
Please note before putting the device into service that the ambient temperature during operation
must be between 15 and 35 °C.
At altitudes above 1000 m MSL (risk of insufficient cooling air supply), measures in accordance
with DIN EN 60034-1; VDE 0530-1 are required.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from chemically or mechanically damaged accessories.
Even small scratches and cracks can lead to serious internal material damage.
 Protect all parts from mechanical damage.
 Check accessories regularly.
 Do not use rotors or buckets with signs of corrosion or mechanical damage (e.g.
deformations).
 Do not use accessories whose maximum service life has been exceeded.
 When inserting the buckets and rotors, ensure that they do not become scratched.
Hint!
First observe the rotor information (see p. 11) and the special notes on rotors F-35-6-30,
F-45-72-8, F-45-48-11, F-45-24-12 and A-2-VC (see p. 13).
Rotor A-2-VC: remove the buckets before inserting the rotor and pick it up at the rotor cross,
using both hands.
Hint!
The rotors do not need to be screwed in.
WARNING!
Device lid can crush. Keep hands clear.
 Do not reach between the device and lid when opening or closing the device lid.
