In the "Temperature" menu the user can specify that the tem-pera-
ture sensor is displayed on the display/working screen. A tick ()
shows that the option is activated.
The precondition for this is that a temperature sensor is connec-
ted to the vacuum controller. If no temperature sensor is con-
nected, or an error is present or the temperature rises above
350 °C, three dashes are shown as the temperature value.
Please comply with the tempera-
NOTICE
ture measurement range of the ex-
ternal temperature sensor speci-
fied in the "Technical data" section.
The temperature display can be in
either °C or °F (see the "Settings"
menu).
Calibration
In order to calibrate the external temperature sensor, it must first
be connected to the vacuum controller. The temperature sensor
is then immersed in a vessel with water, for example. The water
temperature is determined using a second, already calibrated tem-
perature measuring device. The measured temperature must then
be entered in the menu under "Temperature calibration". Once
the entry has been confirmed with "OK", the external temperature
sensor is calibrated.
In the "Timer" menu the user can specify that the timer is dis-
played on the display/working screen. A tick () shows that the
option is activated. This setting allows the user to specify the actu-
al time for the evacuation procedure.
A default time can also be set for the timer. This setting allows the
user to start evacuation for a standard time. The device can emit a
signal (beep) after the set target time has elapsed.
The user can stop the evacuation

procedure before expiry of the set
time. In this case the countdown
of the timer is interrupted.
