The last process (not in function VACUULAN) is stored in the temporary data memory as long as the
controller stays switched on. This program can be transferred to a storage space and edited.
Once the program is finished, the clock symbol starts to flash. Confirm the end of the program by press-
ing START/STOP (clock symbol will disappear).
Attention: If ”Autostart” is set to ”On”, the program will start again (time will be reset to 00:00:00)
after a power failure or after switching the controller off/on. Only if the end of the program (clock symbol
flashing) has been confirmed by pressing START/STOP, the program will not start again.
Attention: If the controller is set to ”Defaults”: ”On”, all stored programs will be deleted.
Example for use
Example
NT VARIO vacuum pump with speed control (e. g. at a rotary evaporator): Degassing and auto-
matic distillation with timing
Program step 1 should be always a definite initial state, here atmospheric pressure (ATM). To reach this
state definitely, set a tickmark at ”Vent.” and ”Step” (press selection knob).
In step 2 pumping down starts as fast as possible (”Step”) to 300 mbar and the vacuum is kept for 10
minutes (degassing of the solvent).
In step 3 ”Auto ” causes an automatic search of the boiling vacuum in the pressure interval between
300 mbar and 2 mbar and automatic adaptation to a changing boiling pressure. The following step starts
if time is over (after 60 minutes) even if the preset pressure (2 mbar) is still not reached or if a vacuum
of 2 mbar is reached even if the preset time has not passed.
Step 4 vents to atmospheric pressure as fast as possible and switches off the control after one minute.

* If the pressure difference between the vacuum for
degassing and the expected vacuum for distillation
is very small (distillation vacuum >75% of the de-
gassing vacuum), select the function ”Auto ” in-
stead of ”Auto ” (adapting the vacuum).
