The current US scope also lists a 1 m vacuum hose, WH11, OS 1.0 WiCo supply, USB leads and screwdriver. A separate VSE 1 accessory is not promised as included. The manufacturer description calls it an accessory while the table marks emission\/condensate features as present; the manual also depicts receiving hardware. Confirm the exact current assembly for an emissions-critical method. Do not assume either that a separate VSE 1 is supplied or that no condensate\/emission hardware is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius:8px; margin:0 0 10px; background:white;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:14px 16px; font-weight:600; list-style-position:inside;\"\u003eDoes it deliver 22 L\/min at 2 mbar?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 16px 14px;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:1rem; line-height:1.7; margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eDo not combine those endpoints. IKA specifies a 22 L\/min maximum pumping rate and 2 mbar ultimate pressure without gas ballast. They do not establish22 L\/min at 2 mbar under a solvent load. Apparatus volume, leaks, hose restrictions, vapour load and method conditions determine actual performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius:8px; margin:0 0 10px; background:white;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:14px 16px; font-weight:600; list-style-position:inside;\"\u003eCan it reach 1 mbar because the sensor and control range start at 1 mbar?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 16px 14px;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:1rem; line-height:1.7; margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe stated 1–1,030 mbar sensor range and1 mbar resolution are not the pump’s ultimate-pressure specification. The pump is specified at 2 mbar without gas ballast.

Prevent liquid and solid carryover, provide the required liquid\/vapour protection and confirm exact wetted-material compatibility. Chemical-resistant construction and a solvent-library entry do not authorize unrestricted gas or solvent service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius:8px; margin:0 0 10px; background:white;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:14px 16px; font-weight:600; list-style-position:inside;\"\u003eWhich modes and programs are available, and does the timer work in every mode?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 16px 14px;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:1rem; line-height:1.7; margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eAutomatic supports boiling-point recognition under suitable stable conditions; Manual sets a pressure target; Pump % selects pumping output; Program supports up to 10 profiles with up to 10 segments each.

That existing Complete package already supplies vacuum equipment.

Confirm the actual supplied assembly and additional protection needed for your method. Route an unrestricted, unkinked exhaust line to a suitable fume hood, with the manual’s2 m maximum exhaust-line length. Do not close or throttle the discharge.
