3. Operational Notes As solvent is evaporated in the Concentrator and then condensed in the Cold Trap it is normal for the Cold Trap temperature to rise as its load increases Depending on which solvent is used the volume of the sample and the system operating parameters the Cold Trap may warm up sufficiently to cause the GREEN indicator to turn off As the sample reaches completion the load on the Cold Trap will decrease and its temperature will decrease The GREEN indicator will once again illuminate When the CentriVap is turned ON the CentriVap returns to the same mode RUN or STOP that it was when the power was turned OFF If the CentriVap was in the RUN mode when the power was turned OFF when the power is turned ON the CentriVap attempts to return to the programmed set points and continue the run Cycle Interruption At any time during a run the cycle may be stopped by pressing the STOP button This shuts off all operating functions After the rotor stops the lid may be opened Ifit is necessary to re start the CentriVap close the lid and press RUN The CentriVap resumes operation at the same set point parameters and the timer continues to count down from the time at which the CentriVap was stopped Safety Precautions Special precautions must be observed ifthe materials used in the CentriVap Concentrator are known to be hazardous toxic radioactive or contaminated with patho
4. Vacuum pumps used with 115V models should be equipped with a 115V 15 Amp NEMA 5 15P plug Vacuum pumps used with 230V models should be equipped with a reverse IEC 320 plug This will allow the vacuum pump to be plugged into the receptacle on the back of the CentriVap IMPORTANT NOTE To ensure that aggressive samples used in the CentriVap do not damage the vacuum pump it is recommended that all internal wetted parts are Teflon or Teflon coated When selecting the vacuum pump it is very important to consider the flammability of the solvent that will be used If the solvents are flammable an explosion proof vacuum pump or one suitable for the solvents to be processed is recommended See Chapter 3 Solvent Safety Precautions for solvents suitable for use in the CentriVap Vacuum Line Traps When using a mechanical pump that is not corrosion resistant the CentriVap Cold Trap or equivalent trap must be used in the vacuum line to prevent damage from solvent vapors When evaporating acids it is advisable to include a soda lime acid secondary trap in the vacuum line This adds additional protection for the pump NOTE Several components within the CentriVap are made from stainless steel or aluminum and can be degraded if exposed to acids Contact Labconco before evaporating acids A moisture trap solvent trap and radioisotope trap are also available Refer to Chapter 6 Accessories for Your CentriVap for ordering information Space
