Precautions
The VC-9500 is activated (sticks to the UUT to pull it down) when the supporter goes up and releases
the UUT when the supporter goes down. Appearing elow is some precautions to know when the
VC-9500 is used on the tester.
1. To activate the VC-9500 correctly, it is a solutely necessary to provide air that fulfills the condition
elow.
Primary air pressure : 0.65MPa
Air consumption : 60NL min
2. Once the VC-9500 has een turned on, normally the UUT is pulled down a little lower than the
testing level. You should put a support pin closer to each vacuum pad to keep the UUT in a
horizontal position.
3. All Vacuum pad units must always stick to the UUT properly when the Vacuum ejector unit operates.
In case that any of Vacuum pad units is not used, make sure to close the valve on the manifold y
the handle.
[ Fig.9 ]
4. The ru er head diameter of the vacuum pad unit is 10Φ. So you should lay the vacuum pad unit
so that the ru er head touches the flat surface on the UUT where is wider than 10Φ. (Refer to
Fig.10, 11)

Filter cleaning
Make sure to check the filter inside the Vacuum ejector periodically to keep it as clean as possi le. If
the filter was plugged up (ex. flux, dust so on), it gives ill effect to the performance of the vacuum
ejector unit.

1. Remove the rear cover and open the vacuum ejector cover. (Refer to Fig.12)
[ Fig.12 ]
2. Loosen the locking kno to remove the filter from the vacuum ejector unit. (Refer to Fig.13)
3. Use your air gun to clean the filter. (Refer to Fig.14)
(NOTE) When the filter was too dirty to clean, it is recommended to replace it with a new one.
In addition, make sure to handle the filter with care, ecause it is soft and easy to get
damages.
4. Put the filter ack in the vacuum ejector unit and fix it with the locking kno . (Refer to Fig.14)
