INSTALLATIONMULTIVAP 118
Location
The MULTIVAP Evaporator System should be located on a bench top or in a chemical
fume hood if hazardous or flammable materials and solvents are to be used. The location
should provide the necessary support services for the instrument. These include electrical
power (required for dry block) and a clean inert gas source (Air or Nitrogen). Please review
the Specifications Section for further information.
Dry Bath Setup
1. Position the bath on a stable flat surface such as a lab bench or in a chemical fume
hood.
2. Turn the bath rocker switch to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn the heat switch to the center “OFF” position.
4. Plug the bath electrical cord into a 3 wire grounded electrical outlet rated for 110-120
VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase, 15 amps.
Optional 220 VAC baths are clearly marked and should be plugged into a 3 wire
grounded electrical outlet rated for 220-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase, 15 amps.

6. Type-Z Purge Intrinsically Safe Bath option - If you do not have this option,
please proceed to the next section. Procedures for operating this system may be
found in the Operation Section. Quick start instructions are posted on the front of the bath.
Please refer to Figure 3 below for parts list and installation.
A. Install the Type Z Purge Gauge Assembly to the rear of the bath as shown. The
bracket attaches to the rear of the bath and is held in place by a 6-32 x 1/4” screw
on the shoulder spacer and by a 1/4” bulkhead hex nut on the gas inlet fitting.
B. Connect the small white silicone tube attached to the gauge to the gas inlet fitting
using the compression nut provided.
C. Attach the filter with 5 foot tube to the plastic elbow fitting located at the base of
the bath. Insert the filter into the fitting and tighten the nut. Connect the tube to
a clean gas source.
D. Test the system by turning on the gas flow to the Z Purge System. Adjust the
gas flow until the gauge reads 0.1 inches water pressure.
WARNING - If this unit is located in a hazardous area where volatile fumes are present,
the Z-Purge System must be activated for a minimum of 10 minutes prior
to activation of bath power. Please review the Safety and Operations
sections.

8. Connect the black connector tube to the lower left connector on the rear of the unit
labeled GAS INPUT. Connect the other end to a suitable gas source.
9. Pressure Control is standard on all MULTIVAPs. This item is pre-installed onto the
top of the bath box. Adjustment range is 0 - 30 psig.
10. Fill the bath with water to within one inch of the rim, approximately (25mm). To
reduce scale and mineral buildup, de-ionized or distilled water may be used.
