REGULATION BY SENSOR or BY VACUUM SWITCH
Vacuum plants fitted with the PROCOM-2 or CYCLIC 2020 are regulated by a 4/20mA analogue sensor which
measures pressures in ABSOLUTE terms and can transmit the values to the monitors selected by the user, in
either RELATIVE or ABSOLUTE mode. This measurement principle means that plants can be installed at any
altitude without the need to make corrections.
Plants equipped with the MILLENIUM are regulated by a 0-10V analogue sensor which measures pressures
in RELATIVE terms. They must be set according to where they are installed, using the values in the table
below.
Note: for the PROCOM-2, the CYCLIC 2020 or the MILLENIUM, the analogue sensor is backed up by mechanical
vacuum switches fitted as a safety measure, which must be set according to the altitude at which they are
used. The standard value release: -450 mbar.

It should be noted that vacuum pump flow rates vary according to the altitude at which they are installed
and the temperature of the air pumped.

7.2. Power supply (see electrical circuit diagram attached)
Power supply must be removed prior to any intervention on the station.
Connection to the power supply must be carried out by the exploiting.
Connect vacuum plant for medical use to a backed-up power supply.
Note: Power supply failure will interrupt the production of vacuum.
The HOSPIVAC and MINIVAC vacuum units are equipped with a dual power supply. It is
strongly recommended that each power supply comes from a different TGBT.
Refer to the motors or stations rating plates in order to insure that the voltage used on site is that required
by the equipment.
Connect the electric cabinet to power supply via the switch/breaker or the terminals L1–L2–L3–N + Earth,
using flexible power cord having conductor section capable of supporting the total power requirements
of all the motors that make up the unit (see table below).
Power cables must be protected upstream using a surge protection device in accordance
with current legislation and standards of your country.
Check all the electrical connections and tighten if necessary before switching on the system
A magneto-thermal starter as standard protects each motor.
Connect the synthesis alarm overview to a visual and/or audible alarm on the control unit.
