TO MAXIMIZE THE STABILITY OF THE CONSOLE FREEZE
DRYER, POSITION THE VACUUM PUMP AS CLOSE TO THE
CENTER OF THE CABINET FLOOR AS POSSIBLE.
Connect the vacuum pump power cord to the receptacle on the back of the cabinet
labeled “vacuum pump.” If the vacuum pump has an off/on switch, turn the switch
on. The vacuum pump will be controlled by the Freeze Dryer. Connect the
vacuum pump inlet port to the vacuum tube on the back of the cabinet with the
vacuum hose and clamps provided. If necessary, cut the hose to proper length to
allow for gentle bends without kinks.
Models rated for use on 230V have a reverse IEC connector for attaching the
vacuum pump power cord. A plug is supplied that can be installed on the vacuum
pump power cord if necessary.
Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the Freeze Dryer and plug
the other end into a suitable power receptacle.
Drying Chamber or Drying Manifold Installation
The drying chamber or drying manifold, purchased separately, may be positioned
directly above the 3-inch hole in the collector chamber lid. When vacuum is
applied to the system, the chamber will be held securely in place.

which may be attacked and degraded by certain chemicals. The degree of
degradation is dependent on the concentration and exposure duration. Some of the
major components of the FreeZone Freeze Dry System that are susceptible to
degradation are as follows:
