Revision 004, 12/09 5

10. Plug the vacuum pump into the receptacle marked VACUUM PUMP on the

back of the unit. The receptacle is an IEC universal outlet. This allows you to

control the pump using the Sentry 2.0. The voltage, phase and frequency of

the vacuum pump must match the voltage, phase and frequency specified on

the rear panel of the freeze dryer.

Note: You can power your vacuum pump from a wall socket if it does not have an IEC

connector, but you will not be able to control the pump from the Sentry 2.0 Controller.

Only a qualified electrician should perform installation of an IEC connector. The pump

used should not exceed the amperage listed on the BenchTop serial tag.

11. Enable power to the vacuum pump by switching the pump’s circuit breaker to

the on position.

Oil Mist Eliminators

To reduce fumes from the vacuum pump and/or vent the vacuum exhaust externally,

SP Industries recommends the installation an Oil Mist Eliminator (OME).
