7.1.2.2 Aeration valve
A malfunction of the aeration valve may have several causes. One
potential source are contaminants such as product residues within the
valve.
• Switch the freeze-dryer off and disconnect the mains plug.
• Clean the valve (see chapter 8.1.1.3 - "Aeration valve").
• Put the freeze-dryer into operation again.
If there is still a leakage, the freeze-dryer must be checked by qualified
specialist personnel (see chapter 7.3 - "Service contact").

7.1.2.4 Rubber valves
In order to identify a leaking rubber valve, the valves must be checked
individually:
• Remove the rubber valve and seal the connection at the drying
chamber with a rubber stopper.
• Check the tightness under vacuum until the leaking valve has been
localised.
• Clean the valve or replace it if necessary.

7.1.2.5 Vacuum sensor
Vacuum sensors have a limited service life and can be ordered as spare
parts (e.g. VSP62/63, order no. 125468).
Functional test:
• Connect the vacuum sensor directly to the suction side connector of the
vacuum pump.
If a final pressure of at least 0.011 mbar is reached (with a vacuum pump
that has reached its operating temperature), the sensor and the vacuum
pump are OK.
