Page 4: Introduction
User Manual Introduction The Genevac HT Series II inert gas purge system is designed to prevent ignition of low auto-ignition point solvent vapours within the evaporator. The system purges the evaporator of air, replacing it with inert gas prior to starting the evaporation; it also vents with inert gas at the end of evaporation. - Page 5 User Manual HT Series II Inert Gas Purge The system is operated using simple START and CANCEL buttons on the remote control. Once the evaporator is ready to go (samples loaded, run selected and the start button pressed) simply press the START button on the remote control, the purging process is fully automatic, requiring no further intervention from the user.
