and this manual.
>In the case of activities which require protective clothing, per‑
sonal protective equipment as specied by the operator is to
be worn.

Vacuum control of critical processes
DANGERDANGER
Risk of explosion through control of critical
processes.
Depending on the process, an explosive mixture can
form in systems.
> The control of critical processes must always be su‑
pervised!
Damaged components
Damaged components, especially those which impair safety,
must be promptly replaced.
>Ensure that you are not working with damaged components.
>Replace defective parts immediately, e.g., a broken cable or
faulty plug.
Dangers due to electrical energy
After the controller has been switched off and disconnected from
the power supply, there may still be dangers at the plug‑in power
supply due to residual energy:
>Replace the plug‑in power supply if there are any defects.
>Never open the plug‑in power supply.
Service shipments
Devices which represent a potential safety hazard should be sent
in, maintained or repaired only if all hazardous contamination has
been removed.

2.3.32.3.3 ATEX equipment category (sensor)ATEX equipment category (sensor)
Installation and potentially explosive atmospheres
Installation and operation in areas where potentially explo‑
sive atmospheres can develop to a hazardous degree is not
permitted.
ATEX approval only applies if applicable to the internal wetted
parts of the device, not to its surroundings.
ATEX equipment labeling
Vacuum equipment labeled with ` has ATEX approval in line
with the ATEX marking on the rating plate.
>Only use the product if it is in perfect working condition.
>The devices are designed for a low level of mechanical
stress and must be installed in such a way that they cannot
sustain mechanical damage from the outside.
>After any work on the device, check its leak rate.
When using the device on equipment with potentially explosive
atmospheres (according to ATEX approval), modications to the
device are not permitted and will invalidate the ATEX approval.
Wetted parts attached to the device must have ATEX approval
at least equivalent to that of the device itself, and must not
adversely affect the ATEX approval of the device, in particular
the temperature in the wetted area.
The use of gas ballast and/or venting valves is only permitted if
this would not normally, or only rarely, cause explosive mixtures
within the device, or do so only for a short time.
>If necessary vent with inert gas.

stances that can cause damage to the environment or human
health. Disused electrical devices also contain valuable raw
materials, which can be recovered for reuse if the device is dis‑
posed of correctly within the recycling process.
End users are legally obliged to take used electric and elec‑
tronic devices to a licensed collection point and to return spent
batteries.
> It is your responsibility to save and delete any data before
disposing of your electronic device.

3.13.1 VACUU·SELECT CompleteVACUU·SELECT Complete
The VACUU·SELECTVACUU·SELECT CompleteComplete is a fully equipped two‑point
vacuum controller for existing vacuum sources such as individual
pumps or powerful local area vacuum networks.
The controller comprises the VACUU·SELECTVACUU·SELECT vacuum controller
with integrated ceramic vacuum sensor and venting valve, a non‑
return valve and a chemically resistant in‑line solenoid valve.
Simply connect the controller between the vacuum pump and the
application.
The controller is available as a benchtop device, for lab scaffold
mounting, or as a built‑in version for lab workstations.
Benchtop version Lab scaffold version Built‑in version
The controller was developed for applications which require a
controlled vacuum. Various applications and menus are available
for operation and vacuum control. The controller is operated us‑
ing the touchscreen. The menus are designed to be user friendly.
Depending on the type of operation and peripheral devices con‑
nected, the controller regulates the process vacuum subject to
demand. In the case of solvent evaporation, it detects boiling
pressure automatically and switches to two‑point control mode.
