Speed control
VACSTAR vacuum pump with VC 10 lite/pro vacuum controller
Automatic adjustment of the "analog speed control" mode if the
analogue connection cable (Pos. 8) is connected to the pump with
the vacuum controller.
Once the target value is reached the pump speed is automatically
reduced to a minimum "0 rpm". Once the target value is reached,

Commissioning
Check whether the voltage given on the type plate corresponds to
the available mains voltage.
The socket used must be earthed
(fitted with earth contact).
If these conditions have been met, the machine is ready for opera-
tion when the mains plug is plugged in.

the pump operates according to the leakage rate of the vacuum
system.
Automatic boiling point recognition is only possible with the
VC 10 pro .
If these conditions are not met, safe operation is not guaranteed
and the machine could be damaged.
Also pay attention to the ambient conditions listed in the "Tech-
nical data".
The start screen appears for a few

Explanation of symbols on the working screen
The symbols displayed change depending on the status and set-
tings of the vacuum controller:

continuous mode.
Vent
This symbol indicates that venting is enabled.
Vacuum
This symbol indicates that the current pressure is less
than the existing atmospheric pressure.
Detection
This symbol is displayed during the automatic boiling
point search, the system pressure is reduced further.
Boiling
This symbol indicates that a boiling point has been found
automatically, the system pressure is kept constant.
Refrigerated circulator
This symbol indicates that refrigerated circulator is
operating.
