Handling information
Approx weight of packed crate *
129 kg
Approx weight of EZ-2 Elite *
80 kg
Weight of vacuum pump
26.2
*Actual weights vary according to build options.
Packaging
To unpack the wooden crate, undo the lid retaining
screws and remove the lid. Undo the screws from the
base of the timber sleeve and carefully lift the sleeve
clear of the evaporator.
Lifting
Make sure enough people are present to share the
lifting safely. Carefully lift the EZ-2 Elite slightly at first
to feel the weight and to find the centre of gravity.
When ready, manually lift the EZ-2 Elite into position
using the handholds in the base. Alternatively, use
mechanical lifting equipment such as a lifting table or
forklift.
Left side hand holds
Right side hand holds
Caution: The hand holds are for
manual lifting only. Do not insert lifting
forks.
Installation site
The evaporator must be placed on a level and sturdy
work surface; there must be a 50 mm (2”) air gap
between the evaporator and the edge of the bench or
any other object.
Dimensions (w x d x h) 570 x 645 x 700 mm
The vacuum pump is connected to the evaporator by
a vacuum hose and electrical control cable which are
approximately three metres in length.
The waste solvent container must be positioned to
allow unimpeded drainage of solvent from the
evaporator and must be easily accessible for
emptying. Once a suitable location has been
decided, the drain hose can be cut to length.
There must also be provision to connect the exhaust
(PTFE: 8 mm OD, 6 mm ID) to a suitable laboratory
fume extraction system and to connect two power
cables to mains power outlets.
Note: The EZ-2 Elite may be placed in a fume
cupboard. To maintain a vapour free environment
around the EZ-2 Elite, do not store vessels
containing solvents or acids within the fume
cupboard.
Genevac recommend that evaporators equipped with
inert gas purge, are installed by an authorised
Genevac representative.

Unpacking and Setting Up

Setting Up
Place the drip-plate in the recess to the right of the lid.
Vent filter
Insert the vent filter into
the hole at the bottom of
the side service panel
and screw it onto the
threaded connector (take
care to avoid dropping
the vent filter inside the
casing).
Vacuum pump
Set the pump gas balast
control to position “1” (as
shown).
Check an O-ring is fitted
to the exhaust adapter
and the adapter firmly
into the pump exhaust
outlet. The adapter may
be twisted so the outlet
faces the reqired
direction.
Gas balast
Exhaust adapter
Using the pump control cable, electrically connect the
vacuum pump to the evaporator.
Using Klein Flange connectors, connect the three
metre vacuum hose to the vacuum pump inlet via the
combined centring ring/strainer, and to the evaporator
outlet.
Waste solvent drain hose
PTFE hose (6 mm ID, 8 mm OD) is
supplied to form the waste solvent drain
and exhaust hoses. Connections are
made using a finger nut and shouldered
comprssion ring.
Note: The drain hose must allow unimpeded
drainage of waste solvents into the waste container,
by gravity. The waste container must be below the
level of the waste outlet, there must be no sharp
bends, loops or upward inclination of the drain hoses
and the waste container must have sufficient
capacity to handle solvent throughput.
Exhaust hose
Using PTFE hose, connect the pump exhaust to the
waste solvent container. Connect the third port of
the waste solvent container to the laboratory fume
extraction system.
To prevent drain failure or the
possibility of waste solvent
being drawn back up the drain
hose, make sure the ends of
the hoses are above the
maximum waste solvent level.
Using the mains cable supplied, connect two power
inlets, one on the back and one on the side of the
evaporator, to two separate mains power outlets.
