4.1 Connection of the control cable
Factory-set, the pump is designed for operation with a control signal; i.e. without a
control signal, the pump does not start!

If using the ROTAVAC vario control or Rotavac vario
tectogetherwiththeROTACOOLreuxcooler,place
the ROTAVAC vario control or ROTAVAC vario tec di-
rectly on top of the ROTACOOL.
If using the ROTAVAC vario control or ROTAVAC vario
tecwithouttheROTACOOLreuxcooler,anextrafoot
has to be installed for operation with the condensate
cooler (13; included in the scope of delivery of the con-
densate cooler). Position the ROTAVAC vario control
or the ROTAVAC vario tec simply on the extra foot,
thereby placing the pump’s feet in the four hollows of
theextrafoot.
Install the coolant hoses in such a way that the stability
of the pump is assured even with a full catchpot
