Starting up the FAM
Switching on the FAM
Move main switch to the "ON" position and wait until the "Fault" lamp lights up briefly
(lamp test) and the following message will appear in the display.

START
Press "START" key. The system now begins with the starting phase:
•
The vacuum pump starts up, the feed pump conveys and the vacuum column is
filled.
•
The controller switches to the RH+P Menu
•
The evacuation pump is started up and the starting period is finished when the
vacuum chamber is filled to the MAX filling level.
•
The FAM controller switches over to automatic operation.
Now regulate the vacuum pressure with the regulating valve on the right of the vac-
uum gauge depending upon the operating viscosity:
Operating viscosity
Vacuum pressure (absolute pressure)
50 mm
2
/s
Hydraulic oil
300 mbar / 30 kPa
300 mm
2
/s
Lubrication oil
400 mbar / 40 kPa
50 mm
2
/s
Ester oil
400 mbar / 40 kPa
If a foaming of the medium is noticed in the standpipe, then increase the pressure
by 50 ... 100 mbar (e.g. from 300 mbar to 400 mbar).
The FAM will not start up again automatically when voltage is restored after a volt-
age failure; it must be restarted instead.
