The ice condenser is cooled and the vacuum pump is
activated while the pressure control valve is closed. If no
pressure control valve is integrated, the drying chamber
must be separated from the vacuum pump by way of a
manual valve or similar.

The drying chamber is evacuated while the ice condenser is
cooled. If a vacuum control system is included, the vacuum
is controlled based on the corresponding set value for the
main drying phase.
Final drying
The final drying phase is only available if a vacuum control
system is included. It is possible to define different control
parameters (set vacuum, timer) for the main drying and final
drying phases.

information concerning the process or the freeze-dryer (error
messages, process messages, or general information).
