Menu details
Pump
Modes
Automatic:
In the "Modes" menu, the user can enable automatic boiling point
recognition by selecting the "Automatic" menu item. No other pa-
rameters must be set.
The boiling point is detected automatically. For rotary evaporators
with heating bath, it must be ensured that the tempering medium
and solvents have a constant temperature (e.g. 60 °C).
Manual:
In the "Manual" menu item, the target value can be specified (e.g.
in "mbar"). The system is evacuated until the target value.
Cleaning
The cleaning of the pump ensures that solvent residues are re-
moved in the pump after the measurement. For this purpose, the
pump is operated at a low level while the system is vented. The
air flowing through the pump ensures that the solvent residues
are discharged from the pump. If the cleaning option is selected,
this starts once the measurement has finished (see "Actions after
stop").
The "Cleaning" menu item increa-
NOTICE
ses the service life of the pump,
since solvent residues do not re-
main inside the pump.

Pump %
By selecting the "Pump %" menu item, the pump can be operated
continuously with a running performance of between
100 % and 1 %.
Program
Under the "Programs" menu, 10 user-defined pressure-time profi-
les can be created. The last measurement taken can also be view-
ed in this menu and saved as a program.
The target value and the running performance can only be entered
within the set limits (see menu item "Limits").
Changing to the working screen and pressing the rotating/pres-
sing knob starts the process. Pressing the knob again stops the
process.
If no speed-controlled pump with
NOTICE
analogue connection is connected
to the "MVP 10 digital" interface,
the system can only work in manu-
al mode and in "two-position con-
trol" mode. The menu items "Auto"
and "Pump %" are greyed out and
cannot be activated.
You can also clean the pump without using the corresponding
menu item. To do this, remove the hoses and operate the pump
at the end of a working cycle (test, test series, end of the day ...)
at idling speed.
Start after...:
Specifies after which minimum duration of a measurement the
cleaning should take place. The default time is 5 minutes. This
means that a measurement must be run for at least 5 minutes, so
that cleaning is performed at the end of the measurement.
Duration:
Specifies how long the cleaning process should be performed.
Pump speed:
Determines at what power (in %) the pump is operated during
cleaning. If the power is set too high this can lead to a pressure
drop in the system.
Clean now:
If you want to perform a cleaning, you can select it with this set-
ting.
