E6500 Mini High Vacuum Evaporator: Site Requirements

Mains electricity

Ensure that a suitable mains electricity supply (110 Vac - 20amps or 240 Vac - 13amps, frequency 50/60 Hz) is available. Check that the voltage label attached to the side of the cabinet is suitable for the local voltage and frequency.
The units are supplied for either 230V or 110V operation at 50/60Hz. The power rating is 1.5KVA excluding the rotary pump. The rotary pump outlet is rated at 230V 10A or 110V at 16A. The 240V pump outlet uses a 3-pin plug (404440310), which is supplied, or 110V standard US plug.

Gas

Ensure that a suitable gas supply is available.
Typically: A commercial cylinder of nitrogen gas for venting. The cylinder should be fitted with a two-stage regulator in order to deliver gas at a pressure around 5-10 psi (0.5bar).
Note: venting to nitrogen gas is not essential, but recommended as it improves the overall cleanliness of the system, resulting in faster pump down speeds and better ultimate vacuum.

Rotary vacuum pump

Ensure that a suitable rotary vacuum pump is available (50l/m or large). The rotary pump must be filled with oil, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The exhaust should be filtered or expelled to a safe area. All pumps supplied by Quorum Technologies are fitted with an exhaust filter.

Space requirement

450mm wide x 253mm high x 400mm deep (20Kg). Additional space is required for the rotary pump, which can be located either on the floor or on the bench with the coater.
