Manual Operations

The VORSA 500 can be operated in a completely manual mode. It is important to keep in mind that the configured Automated mode is optimized for the most efficient operation. However, manual mode may be preferred when a user is experimenting with new geometries or parameters.

To use Manual Mode follow the instructions below:

From the Home screen, press the MANUAL button to access the Manual Operation Mode screen

• PUMP – Turn the main system pumps on and off. Note: If the solution is not up to temp, pump speed will be limited until it reaches set temperature. To view if the pumps are on, check the psi field in the upper left on the Manual Operation screen.
• BLOWER – The BLOWER button is used to evacuate vapor from the chamber.
• HEATER – Heat up fluids in the tank to the temperature set point selected from temperature control slider (see below). In Manual Mode, the HEATER button must be on for the VORSA 500 to reach and maintain the desired temperature. Note: The heater will also turn on the pump when engaged.
• FILL – Press the FILL button to fill the VORSA 500 tank with freshwater only. The fill valve has a sensor that automatically stops filling the tank once the water reaches the top liquid level sensor. The feature is only used during a cleaning cycle or other non-production cycle.
• DOSE – The DOSE button fills the tank with detergent through the Dosatrons. The dosing valve automatically stops dosing once the detergent level reaches the top of the tank.
• HEATER SETPOINT – Choose tank temperature setpoint. In Manual Mode, the HEATER button must be on for the VORSA 500 to reach the desired temperature.
• PUMP SPEED – Select the desired pump speed. The pump will turn on when the Pump toggle is engaged.
