Sources of error during connection
NOTICE
Measuring error due to an obstructed vacuum line.
Prevent overpressure > 1060 mbar (> 795 Torr) in the piping
system.
Condensate can falsify the measurement. Position the vacuum
hose in such a way that condensate cannot ow towards the con-
troller and its vacuum sensor. No liquid should accumulate inside
the vacuum hose.
Install vacuum hoses in such a way that condensate cannot
ow into the controller.
Particles, liquids or dust may not enter the controller.
Install a separator or lter at the intake of the system.
Appropriate lters are for example chemically resistant, and
resistant to clogging.
Risks due to residual energy
After switching o the controller and disconnecting it from mains,
risk of residual energy could still prevail at the power supply ad-
apter.
Repairs may only be performed by qualied personnel, e. g.,
service technician.

Installation and explosive environment
Installation and operation in areas where explosive atmos-
pheres can occur is not allowed.
The use of gas ballast or the operation of venting valves is only
permitted if thereby explosive atmospheres normally do not occur
in the interior of the equipment or, if they do occur, are likely to do
so only infrequently and for a short period.
If necessary vent with inert gas.
Avoid ignition

3.1 Vacuum controller Hei-VAC Control
The controller is designed for applications requiring controlled
vacuum.
The controller has a two-point control mode to switch an in-line
isolation valve.
The controller is freely programmable. Up to 10 programs can be
stored in the controller memory. Each program also oers up to
10 program steps (time/pressure) plus control functions, such as:
venting, pump down and ramp function.
The controller enables the measurement of relative pressure with
regard to a reference sensor (VSK 3000).
