Extended actuation of the Start Stop key discontinues evacuation, the aerating valve opens, the
vacuum valve is closed.
Vacuum LED illuminates, when "vacuum control" was selected with the Start Stop key.
Ventilation LED illuminates, when the aerating valve is open.
Valve LED illuminates, when the vacuum valve is open.
Valve LED flashes, when evacuation was interrupted without aeration.
15. T auto vacuum control mode
In this mode, vacuum pressure level is controlled by an optional temperature sensor. For
installation refer to Options Section (page 93).
T auto is a low-pollution mode. This special vacuum control allows very low quantities of solvents
to be extracted by the vacuum pump.
The T auto temperature sensor detects temperature in the middle of the condenser.
For cooling water temperature, the LABOROTA 20 control uses a separate temperature sensor
(act Chiller).
Set T auto is set to 2 – 10 °C (temperature difference from cooling water).
A high Set T auto value results in high-speed distillation, whereas a low value renders a slow and
controlled distillation process.
When reaching the temperature difference (in the condenser) once set with Set T auto, the
vacuum valve closes; as soon as the temperature drop equals Set Vapor (hysteresis), the valve
will open once more. A current Vapor setting is 0.5°C.
