1.1 INSTALLATION OF THE SPD111V
1. Unpack unit from the box and verify that all the parts match packing list.
2. Read instruction manual carefully! If assistance is required, contact
Thermo
3. If the unit is part of a larger system, use the vacuum tubing supplied to
hook up unit (See Figure 4).
4. Vacuum clamps must be put on vacuum ports of pump and SPD unit
(See item 8 on Figure 2 and Figure 4).
5. If being hooked up to existing system, simply attach vacuum tubing
to port on side of unit (See item 8, figure 2-vacuum port).
CAUTION - Cold trap should be in line between the vacuum source
and the SPD Unit.

1. PRE-HEAT - use to pre-heat chamber to 45 °C prior to or between runs.
Once run is initiated the pre-heat stops.
2. RC ON/OFF - Use to add radiant heat to chamber.
Manual activation ON/OFF at any point during run.
Also will turn off at end of run.
3. SELECT - (located above temperature/time indicator), press this button to
select the parameters to be modified. Selection is from left to right.
GREEN light indicates the parameter to be modified.
4. MODIFY SETPOINT UP/DOWN - Modifies selected parameter.
5. AUTO RUN - Starts an automated run (See page 5).
6. MANUAL RUN - Starts a manual run (See page 4).
7. STOP - Terminates manual or auto run.
8. VIEW - Press to view. Displays preset parameters (during a run), displays
actual values when not running.
9. TEMPERATURE DISPLAY (GREEN DISPLAY) - Indicates set temperature or
actual temperature during a run in °C.
10. TIME DISPLAY (GREEN DISPLAY) - Indicates heat timer or run timer
setpoints. If in the process of a run it indicates elapsed time or time left.

This type of run will allow continuous running of the unit until it is turned off by
the user. The heat timer is activate and can be set to a user defined time.
1. Connect the unit to its required voltage.
2. Turn the power switch to ON, located on the back of the unit.
The cover lock, unlocks, allowing the top cover to be opened.
The display lights up, showing the following default values:
Temperature: 35 °C
Run Time: 2.00 HRS
Press “SELECT” to “HEAT TIME”: 1.00 HR default.
3. Place sample tubes in rotor so load is balanced.
Secure it with rotor supplied knob (hand tight). Close cover.
4. Using the “SELECT” button and the up/down keys, set temperature
between 35-80 °C, or “no”, for no heat.
5. Using the “SELECT” button and the up/down keys, select and modify
“HEAT TIME” to between 0.01and 9.59 hours or CCC (for continual
heating). When the heat timer expires, the heater will shut off, no matter
what the temperature setpoint is (except if CCC).
6. Press the “MANUAL RUN” button. The cover locks and rotor starts
turning. The decimal point blinks and the time display begins counting
up. The temperature rises to the set temperature. The “HEAT TIME”
will count down, and the SAV valve will actuate, applying vacuum to
the chamber.
NOTE: If the cover is not closed, the display will show “LID” and the
run will not start.
7. Press R/C for radiant cover heat. (Optional)
Press at any time to turn OFF and ON.
8. To end the manual run press “STOP” button. The display will show
”End”, the SAV valve will click allowing air to bleed into the chamber.

3.0 THE MANUAL RUN

3.1 THE AUTO RUN
An automated run will run the unit for a pre-defined time as selected by the
user.
1. Refer to the “MANUAL RUN” section for start up.

rotor supplied knob (hand tight). Close cover
3. To execute “AUTO RUN” perform the following steps:
a) Use “SELECT” button and up/down keys to select and modify
“TEMPERATURE, “HEAT TIME, “RUN TIME” parameters.
“RUN and HEAT TIME” can be set from 0.01 to 9.59 hours
(HEAT TIME also has CCC”).
b) Press “AUTO RUN” button to start the run. GREEN light above
“Auto Run” is on. The cover locks, and the rotor starts turning.
The time display is counting down in 1 minute intervals and the
decimal point blinks. The heat time is counting down (use select
button to view “HEAT TIME”). The temperature rises in 1 °C
increments to the set temperature. The SAV valve will actuate,
applying vacuum to the chamber.
c) Press R/C for radiant cover heat. (optional*)
Press at any time to turn OFF and ON.
NOTE: If the cover is not closed, the display will show “Lid” and the
run will not start.
d) Once the time decrements to 0.00 HRS. the run will automatically
stop, the display will show “End”. The SAV valve will click
allowing air to bleed into the chamber.
e) After the rotor stops spinning, the cover unlocks and the display
reverts to last set parameters.
f) Open the cover and remove samples.
GENERAL: During the run, display shows actual parameters.
To check set parameters, press “VIEW” button and
“SELECT”. The display will revert temporarily to set points.
