Programming
As a special feature, the BluVac+ Pro includes two related programs: the Evacuation Program and
the Rise Time Testing (RTT) Program.
The Evacuation Program allows for unattended evacuation of large systems, and will sound an
audible/visual alarm when the evacuation procedure is complete, based upon both an Evacuation
Target Pressure and Evacuation Target Time. For example, a procedure may call for evacuating a
system to at least 500 microns, and maintaining that pressure (or less) for at least 15 minutes.
Following a successful evacuation, the RTT Program can consistently ensure proper evacuation by
analyzing the rate-of-rise of pressure vs. time, and automatically signal a or indication
based upon an RTT Target Pressure and RTT Target Time. Advantageously, a clean, dry, and tight
system can successfully a Rise Time Test in as little as 15 seconds, eliminating the need to wait
for the RTT Target Time to elapse. For example, a procedure may call for ensuring that a system
evacuated to 500 microns or less will not exceed 1000 microns after the vacuum pump has been
blanked off over 10 minutes.
Each program consists of both a target pressure (vacuum level) and a time period. There are 16
possible target pressures, depending upon the units displayed, as shown in the following table:

The time periods may be programmed between 0 seconds and 100 minutes. The BluVac+ Pro can
be programmed easily through the mobile app. To program the BluVac+ Pro manually, the Set Mode
must be activated:
Programming (Set Mode)
1. Turn the power on by pressing .
2. Select the desired units by repeatedly pressing .
3. Activate the Program Set Mode by pressing and holding . The and indicators will
show on the display, as well as the currently programmed Evacuation Target Pressure and
Time.
4. While the pressure display is flashing, press and/or hold the or keys to increase or
decrease the Evacuation Target Pressure. When compete, press and release the key.
5. While the minutes display is flashing, press and/or hold the or keys to increase or decrease
