VACUUM PARAMETERS Example Change VAC level to 100 Key sequence OLOKO Vac VACUUM LEVEL is programmed in percent of the total available vacuum The vacuum is turned off by programming the level to 0 The maximum vacuum is achieved by programming the level to 100 and the minimum by programming to 10 In special cases where it is desired that the pump run continuously when vacuum is pro grammed on the level must be set to 101 Pull is the vacuum start temperature parameter This controls the temperature at which vacuum is applied This should be programmed equal to or lower than the Lo T in most applications Stop is the vacuum stop temperature and time parameters that stops or turns off the vacuum Normally this parameter is programmed higher than the Hi T so that the vacuum is held during the full cycle Programming this lower than the Hi T will stop the vacuum during the temperature ramp at the programmed temperature For the vacuum to be held for only a portion of the Hold time the vacuum Stop temperature must be set equal to the Hi T tempera ture The furnace will then ask for a vacuum stop time which can be programmed from 0 to a value equal to the current Hold time The factory setting is 1 00 minute The vacuum Stop time does not affect the length of time the muffle is held at the Hi T SPECIAL OPERATIONS COPY Press the key The second line of the display will prompt for a new program numbe
