Operating temperature is -105 The RVT5105 is controlled simply by an on/off (I/O) switch located on the left side. An amber LED on the right front indicates that the unit is on. A green LED indicates that the operating temperature has been reached and the unit is ready to use.
Provide adequate ventilation. Thermo refrigerated traps are air-cooled and require at least 3 inches (7.62cm) of clearance for ambient air suction. The RVT5105 draws air from the rear of the unit. Ambient temperature must not exceed +90 °F (+32 °C) during operation.
Before each use, be sure the chamber is filled to the correct level. If necessary. add more CryoCool. Cryocool can now be drained from the RVT5105 system to remove unwanted ice or other contaminates after the system has been fully defrosted.
Installation The figure below shows the GCF400 with the black insulation ring, locked down in the chamber by means of the retaining clips. Figure 2. GCF400 locked down in chamber This will fully seal the chamber. Withdraw the flask again and verify that the level of CryoCool came to within about a half-inch (12–15 mm) from the top (shoulder) of the flask.

Installation To install the GF4000, place a clean, dry Glass Condensation Flask into the stainless steel chamber. Fit the black insulating cover over the flask. Lift and rotate the two black retaining clips to hold down both the insulation ring and the glass flask.
After preparing the unit as described in Section 3 on page 2, switch it ON. Operation The power switch is located on the left side of the RVT5105. An amber LED on the front illuminates when power is on. It may take up to 90 minutes for the trap fluid to reach its operating temperature.

Operation To remove the GCF400 or GC4000 for cleaning: 1. Bleed the system back to atmospheric pressure. 2. Remove the rubber flask cover from the flask on the GCF400 or by unscrewing the poly nut on the vacuum connector used on the GC4000, leaving tubing attached to cover.
The RVT5105 has a drain valve that allows you to removed the defrosted Cryocool and water contaminates directly from the condenser. To operate the valve: Turn the unit off and allow it to defrost (this could take several hours);...
Maintenance and Troubleshooting valve closed Figure 7. Drain valve closed To reuse CryoCool that has a layer of water, transfer it to a container and allow to settle again into a bilayer. Place in a freezer until the water layer freezes.
