Calibrate Pressure Sensor; Calibrate Atmospheric Pressure; Low Value Calibration - Heidolph ROTAVAC Manual De Instrucciones

7.5. Calibrate pressure sensor

The VAC control automatic pressure sensor may be calibrated.
To this end you need an accurate vacuum gauge which is installed in the vacuum line between
vacuum pump and VAC control automatic vacuum fitting.

7.5.1. Calibrate atmospheric pressure

Remove vacuum hose from VAC control automatic.

7.5.2. Low value calibration

Connect vacuum hose with VAC control automatic and start vacuum pump. Pressure decreases to
lowest possible level as achieved by the vacuum pump.
If vacuum pump does not reach a pressure of less than 100 mbar, calibration is
discontinued; an error report appears in the Act Vac display.
Discontinue regulation, aerate rotary evaporator.
Turn VAC control automatic power switch OFF. Depress "Set" key, hold
depressed while turning power switch ON. The "Act Vac" display shows
