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 off 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 qualied personnel, e. g.,
service technician.
CVC 3000 in combination with VACUU·CONTROL®
VACUU·CONTROL® is a remote control for the controller. It is
available as an accessory.
With this accessory a vacuum system can be operated simulta‑
neously by controller or via VACUU·CONTROL®. Remote control
is able to operate from several end devices, e. g., smart phone,
tablet, or computer

Safety instructions
17N°: 999151_EN_CVC3000_PRINT/20.07.2017
When using remote control please regard the following:
Coordinate planned projects with colleagues sharing the
equipment.
If necessary inform colleagues that you plan to use the
remote control.
Avoid different, parallel settings.
Installation and explosive environment
Installation and operation in areas where explosive atmos‑
pheres can occur is not allowed.
ATEX marking
Controllers which are labeled with
`
have an ATEX approval 3 G;
i. e. ammable substances as mixture with air: pumped gas or
vapor.
Use the controller only when it is in proper working condition.
ATEX approval1is only valid for the internal, wetted parts
area (vacuum sensor), not for the environment of the con‑
troller.
The ATEX category of the controller is dependent on the connected
peripheral devices. Peripherals and connected devices to the
controller need to have the same or must have a higher ATEX
approval. Without concordant categorization of peripherals, the
specied category of the VACUUBRAND equipment loses its
validity.
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.

3.1 Vacuum controller CVC 3000
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 offers 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).
