- Console cabinet with interior space for vacuum pump (sold separately) and two-piece removable front panel with viewing window
- Clear acrylic chamber lid, 3/4" thick, with neoprene gasket
- Brushed stainless steel and glacier white, powder-coated steel exterior with blue accents
- Full color, 5" capacitive touch screen with Lyo-Works OS:
- Real-time display of collector temperature, vacuum level, and optional End-Zone end point detection system
- Start-up mode for collector cool-down and vacuum pull-down (automatic or manual)
- Operating mode (standby or run)
- Vacuum set point, alerts, diagnostic tests, user manual, defrost control, and optional drying accessory parameters
- Data logging in table or chart format, exportable via USB or Ethernet
- Settings: language, time, time zone, temperature (°C or °F), and vacuum (mBar, Torr, Pa)
- Programmable alerts via Ethernet to user emails
- Display settings: brightness, touch sounds (on/off), and screen time out (on/off)
- Maintenance alerts for vacuum pump oil change, refrigeration cleaning, total operating hours, and line voltage offset
- Level-specific security lock-out prevents unauthorized changes
- Hot gas defrost with auto shut off at +60°C
- On/standby switch
- Moisture sensor prevents refrigeration or vacuum start-up when moisture is detected in the drain line
- Vacuum control valve maintains vacuum level set point
- Vacuum break valve automatically restarts if power outage is under ~5 minutes; if over ~5 minutes and collector warms, it won’t restart
