2-2 Utility connection
（1）Check the voltage, phase and capacity of
power source connecting to the product.
Required power source is as shown on right
table.
（2）Make sure of the type of outlet and plug mains connector.
Model

Voltage
Excess current may burn cable or cause
fire.
WARNING
Do not use branching socket and
power strip.
Wrong connection may cause fire or
electric shock.
WARNING
Make sure of the voltage, phase,
capacity and the type of outlet. Do not connect earth wire to gas pipe or
water pipe for preventing electric shock.
WARNING
Connect earth wire properly.
When connecting to power source, do not
use branching socket and power strip.

3-1 Preparation
（1）Place the main body on the bath and
set it up on the point of use.
（2）Remove the cap of water supplying
nozzle.
（3）Install hose for drainage (bore diameter:
16mm) onto overflow nozzle and also install
water-supplying hose (bore diameter: 12mm)
onto water-supplying nozzle tightly for
preventing leak.
（4）Connect decompression system and suctioning
nozzle with using vacuum hose (bore diameter:
6mm).
※When reducing the pressure at only one point,
using two suctioning nozzles with Y-shaped joint
simultaneously can shorten the time required for
decompression.
Operation

Pump and aspirator that are clogged with
dust and cotton waste will worsen the
attainable vacuum degree. Also, they will
cause glitch on motor.
CAUTION
Make sure that no foreign
substance such as dust is adhered in
the bath.
If the organic solvent is dissolved into
the water, attainable vacuum degree will be
worsened or metal aspirator and driving part
will be damaged. Also, it may cause nasty
smell or fire.
When suctioning organic solvent,
use trap and do not let solvent
mix into the bath.
CAUTION
Notice 1 When water temperature in the bath
rises during the operation, it may worsen
the attainable vacuum degree, and water in
the bath may flow upstream. Therefore,
circulate the cooling water or conduct
overflow to keep the same water temperature
for avoiding the trouble. Also, use
store-bought backflow prevention valve. Water supplying hose

※ When the solution can not perform overflow for
maintaining water temperature because of
effluent regulation, use cooling trap to
prevent the interfusion or change the water
in the bath regularly.
Notice 2 When the solvent mixes into the bath,
it will worsen the attainable vacuum
degree and may cause back-flow.
Also, when the solution vapors, it may
cause nasty smell or fire.
※ Attainable vacuum degree of the unit depends
on water temperature and water quality.
※ When water can not be overflowed, it is effective
to use immersion cooler or cooling water circulating
device combining with cooling coil, which is one of
the options.

Fill the water into the bath up to the point
where flow nozzle supplies water.
※If the water supply is too much, water may
overflow from the bath.
※Though the water supply is controlled
properly, it may be changed because of the
change of water pressure. Pay attention to
the water level during overflow.
2. Water supplying into bath
Make sure that the power switch is off before plugging the mains connector into outlet.
3.Connecting mains connector

Decreasing pressure at 2 points simultaneously
※ When releasing decompression at one
decompression container and sucking in air,
air bubble will be sucked into the pump
and attainable vacuum degree will be
worsened. In this case, water may flow
upstream into other decompression container.
When decreasing pressure in both containers,
set up stop cock in each decompression line
and close the stop cock before releasing the
decompression.

3-2 How to operate
（1）Turn on power switch.
Pump rotates and metal aspirator exhausts
and starts reducing pressure.
※When starting it up, exhaust sound is loud
because of huge displacement.
※Use cover for bath if it is possible.
It prevents water scattering when releasing
decompression.
※After checking up that the suctioning
nozzle and decompression system are surely
connected, turn on power switch.
If they are not connected, water bubble
may overflow from the bath.
（2）When completing operation, turn off power
switch after releasing decompression.
(1)Turn cap nut and remove suctioning nozzle and
rubber packing on the one side.
Pay attention not to lose rubber packing.
(2)After removing cap nut, place rubber packing
on the part of motor base where screw is fixed,
and insert VG-1000 or VG-1000V and turn cap
nut to fix it.
※ Do not insert VG-1000 or VG-1000V
with a slope.
(3) Connect inlet nipple of VG-1000 or
VG-1000V to vacuum hose and also connect
to decompression system.
(4)To control vacuum degree, unloose the leak valve
slowly with reducing pressure and also reduce vacuum
degree gradually and set up at your desired
vacuum degree(VG-1000V).
※ Instruction for using VG-1000 and VG-1000V
When getting the condition back to normal
pressure, do not pull out vacuum hose with
a sudden jerk or get the condition back to
normal pressure hastily. Releasing
decompression rapidly may break a vacuum gauge.
When getting it back to normal condition,
please pull out the vacuum hose gradually from
inlet nipple or loosen the leak valve slowly.
(only for model VG-1000V).
Procedure after finishing operation
If you don not use the product for a long time,
turn off the power switch and unplug the mains
connector. Also, drain the water of the bath.

※This unit is equipped with backflow
prevention valve that prevents backflow
caused by huge pressure difference, which
was occurred when power switch is turned off
by mistake. However, since backflow
progresses little by little if decompression
is continued for a long time, please release
the decompression. Also, store-bought backflow
prevention valve is available.
In case of trouble, release the decompression
and turn off power switch immediately, and
refer to “Troubleshooting”.
Stop using the product if it does not
work properly.
CAUTION

(1) Remove cover for bath from main body.
Fit the lamp part of cooling coil into
the edge of bath and set up cooling coil
in the bath.
