5.4 Optional: operation with AIR-pedal

(According to each order an "AIR" – pedal is included!)
The suction pressure can be regulated with the AIR-pedal. The more the pedal is pushed down, the
more extraneous air will be suctioned by the AIR-pedal, the suction pressure in the cannula will be also
reduced.

5.5 Regulation of the suction procedure

The Vacuum Regulator "VACUUM" regulates the Suction mode. The Manometer indicates the actual
negative, barometric, pressure (rarefaction) in Bars.
Turn right: ...................................... rarefaction increases
Turn left: ......................................... negative pressure decreases
Setting the Desired Barometric Maximum:
1) Set Vacuum Regulator "VACUUM" left to minimum.
2) Press "ON/OFF" button to start vacuum pump (if "ON/OFF" pedal is also connected, push down
pedal to start vacuum pump).
3) Crimp suction tube to achieve maximum system integrity
4) Turn Vacuum regulator right to maximum.
5) Wait till manometer indicates maximum negative pressure (> -0.8 bar).
6) Set Regulator to desired maximum between 0 and 0.8 bar.
If the system is not airtight (a defective seal, for example) the Manometer will
indicate < -0.7 bar!

5.6 Emptying the full Jar

The Secretion Jar Lid has a mechanical Overflow Protection device. This prevents
liquid backing up in the connecting Tube and, crucially, into the pump The Overflow
Protection float closes the tube at the maximum secretion level.
When the secretion level is too high and the Overflow Protection device closes, empty
the full Jar or replace it by an empty one:
1) Turn Suction Pump off.
2) Remove Tubings from Suction Jar.
3) Remove full Jar from holder and dispose suctioned secretion in conformity with local laws and
regulations.
4) Secure Lid firmly and hang Secretion Jar on support mounting.
5) Reconnect Tubes according to Secretion Jar's instructions (see Chapter 4.6 Suction Assembly
Connection).
Operation can be resumed with the empty and properly connected Secretion Jar.

5.7 Operation with two Secretion Jars

Secretion jars can be hung left and right on the Control Unit. When the first Secretion Jar is full, the
Vacuum Pump must be turned off and the connection tubes attached to the second Secretion Jar
before the Vacuum Pump can be startet and the operation can be resumed.
Even after closing, some liquid will still run into the Jar, subject to the negative
pressure remaining in the bottle.
