Safety instructions
For your protection
Read the operating instructions in
NOTICE
full before starting up and follow the
safety instructions.
•
Keep the operating instructions in a place where it can be
accessed by everyone
•
Ensure that only trained staff work with the instrument.
•
Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational
health and safety and accident prevention regulations.
Always wear personal protective
DANGER
equipment in accordance with the
hazard class of the media being
worked with, otherwise there is a
risk of splashing liquids, release of
toxic or inflammable gases!
•
The device and device parts must not be used on humans or
animals.
•
Do not expose parts of the human body or animals to the
vacuum.
•
Position the device as specified in the "Commissioning"
section and connect the connection cables and interfaces as
described.
•
Never work with an incorrectly connected or defective
device.
•
Inhalation of or contact with media such as poisonous
liquids, gases, spray mist, vapours, dusts or biological and
microbiological materials can be hazardous to user. Make
sure that all connections are tight and leak-free when wor-
king with such media.
•
Prevent the release of the above mentioned substances. The
use of suitable extraction systems e.g. fume cupboards is
recommended in the place of installation. Take protective
measures for personnel and the environment.
•
Due to the residual leakage rate of the device, this can result
in the release of medium.
•
The IKA VC 10 vacuum controller is not designed to be
installed in potentially explosive atmospheres
•
The IKA VC 10 vacuum controller is not designed for use
with self inflammable substances, substances which are
inflammable without air or explosive substances.
•
Take suitable precautions to prevent any formation of
explosive mixtures. Use inert gas for venting and/or dilution,
if necessary.
•
Take into consideration interactions or possible chemical or
physical reactions when working with media under reduced
pressure and elevated temperature.
•
Never work with the device under water or underground.
•
The device must only be operated with supervision.
•
Electrostatic events can occur between the medium and
device and lead to a direct hazard.
•
Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories
described in the "Accessories" section.
•
The instrument can only be disconnected from the mains
supply by pulling out the mains plug or the connector plug.
•
The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
•
Do not use the device if the AC adapter is defective.
•
Follow the operating instructions of the additional equip-
ment carefully (e.g. a rotary evaporator, vacuum pump) with
which the IKA VC 10 vacuum controller is operated.

•
The IKA VC 10 vacuum controller may only be operated un-
der the conditions described in the "Technical data" chapter.
•
The pressure at the gas inlet and gas outlet must not exceed
1100 mbar. For pressure over 1100 mbar, the total allowab-
le pressure is exceeded and the device no longer displays the
pressure accurately.
•
Only use flexible hose lines.
•
Flexible elements can be compressed under vacuum.
•
In the event of a power failure, the integrated venting valve
automatically aerates the connected recipient.
•
Be aware of your emergency measures in the event of a
power failure and ensure that the system is put into a safe
state.
•
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed if the appliance
is operated with accessories that are not supplied or recom-
mended by the manufacturer or if the appliance is operated
improperly, contrary to the manufacturer's specifications or
if if the instrument or the printed circuit board are modified
by third parties.
For protection of the equipment
The voltage stated on the type pla-
CAUTION
te must correspond to the mains-
voltage.
•
Covers or parts that can be removed from the device wit-
hout tools must later be refitted to ensure safe operation, so
long as no other connection is made at this point. This will
prevent the infiltration of foreign objects, liquids etc.
•
The device must only be operated with the original plug-in
power supply unit supplied.
•
Protect the appliance and accessories from bumps and
impacts.
•
The appliance may only be opened by experts (authorized
staff).
•
To ensure sufficient cooling of the IKA VC 10 vacuum
controller, the ventilation slots on the housing must not be
covered.
•
Use only original spare parts for repair and maintenance
in order to ensure the reliable operating condition of the
device.
•
Pay attention to water condensation inside and outside of
the device. If the device is brought from a cold environment,
allow the device to warm up.
•
Never attach the vacuum controller above a heating bath.
•
Ensure that no solids and/or liquids enter the IKA VC 10
vacuum controller via the suction power of the pump. This
will result in damage to the pressure sensor and the valves.
Check the compatibility of the sub-
WARNING
stances used with the device with
the materials listed under "Product
contact parts"; see chapter "Pro-
duct contact parts".
•
Place the IKA VC 10 vacuum controller in an elevated positi-
on if possible, so that in the event of a fault, no condensate
can collect on the pressure sensor.

In the case of any damage a detailed report must be sent
immediately (post, rail or forwarder)

Intended use
Use
Together with the accessories recommended by IKA, the IKA VC
10 vacuum controller is suitable for the controlled evacuation of
air (gas) from laboratory devices and equipment (e.g. rotary eva-
porator or laboratory reactors, and also for classical separation or
filtration or drying tasks in the laboratory) in conjunction with a
suitable vacuum source (e.g. IKA MVP 10 basic / digital / VACSTAR
digital).
Area of use
Indoor environments similar to that a laboratory of research,
teaching, trade or industry area.
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:
- If the device is operated with accessories that are not supplied
or recommended by the manufacturer;
- If the device is operated improperly or contrary to the
manufacturer's specifications;
- If the device or the printed circuit board are modified by the
third parties.
Useful information
In addition to a high-resolution Al
O
pressure sensor, the IKA VC

10 vacuum controller has an integrated vacuum valve and a ven-
ting valve. As a result, the IKA VC 10 vacuum controller can be
used without any additional peripheral devices.
The device provides two basic modes of operation:
Two-position control and analogue speed control.
The change between the two modes is performed automatically
by plugging or unplugging the connector cable at the "MVP 10 di-
gital" interface. Depending on the selection made, some submenu
items may not be available (greyed out on the display).

Operating instructions
Warranty card
The IKA MVP 10 digital / VACSTAR digital can be operated auto-
matically with the IKA VC vacuum controller.
Therefore, it can be used for automatic boiling point recognition,
programmed pressure-time curves or programs from the solvent
library, for example.
Mode of operation: Stand device
The device must not be used for:
WARNING
- vacuation of biological biotopes,
- evacuation of explosive, corro-
sive or gas volumes,
- throughput/use of fluids!
With two-position control, parameters from the solvent library can
be applied or target values specified in manual mode.
With analogue speed control, an automatic mode as well as the
setting of the percentage pump speed can also be preset.
Space requirement: To connect all peripheral devices you will need
approximately WxDxH 150 x 200 x 155 mm³ space for the device
with connected plugs.
