Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information on the IKA vacuum controllers, VC 10 lite and VC 10 pro, designed for controlled evacuation of air from laboratory equipment. These controllers are suitable for various laboratory tasks such as separation, filtration, and drying.

Specifications
The VC 10 lite is speed-controlled and compatible only with VACSTAR digital, requiring a cable connection with the vacuum pump. The VC 10 pro is valve-controlled and can be used with all standard vacuum sources, allowing multiple controllers to be used with one vacuum source.

Features
  • Valve cleaning function for extended service life.
  • Integrated ventilation valve for pressure equalization and aeration with inert gas.
  • VENT short key button for pressure equalization during processes.
  • Program function for saving up to ten user-defined programs with pressure/time sequences.
  • USB/RS232 interfaces for connection with lab software.
  • Electronic control system for improved efficiency and solvent recovery.
  • High energy efficiency through device-to-device communication.

Additional Features of VC 10 Pro
  • On/off regulation of multiple vacuum sources.
  • Automatic boiling point detection.
  • Integrated solvent library for setting parameters in evaporation processes.
  • Graph function and external temperature sensor connection.

Technical Data
Both models include features such as chiller control, vacuum leakage test, memory function, vacuum sensor, and programmable settings. They operate within a pressure range of 1 to 1050 mbar and have dimensions of 95 × 150 × 110 mm.

Accessories
  • VC 10.300 Check valve
  • PT 1000.60 Temperature sensor
  • VC 10.500 Stand pole for VACSTAR
  • VC 10.400 Table stand
  • Y-hose connector
  • PC 1.3 Data cable
  • VH.SI.8 Vacuum hose

Applications
The controllers are used in vacuum distillation with rotary evaporators, chemical process technologies, laboratory reactors, analytical devices, centralized and decentralized vacuum supply, filtration, desiccators, vacuum dryers, and ovens.

Application Example for VC 10 Pro
An experimental setup includes two VC 10 pro controllers connected to an MVP 10 basic vacuum pump, demonstrating the use of multiple controllers with a single vacuum source.
