“…made easy with programmability!”

Today, we cover the hot topic of “How do I program the Vac100?”

Switching between soups, bone-in products, different pouch thicknesses, accessory sealing jobs, or even changing bag types is made easy with programmability!

To program the Vac100, we need to set up presets that include specific vacuum, seal, and cool times.

How To Program The Vac100

To begin this process, make sure the IEC power cable is plugged into a power source and your unit. Also, turn on the red rocker power switch at the back of the unit. 

Have the power to switch product types, material types, normal sealing to accessory sealing, mason jar sealing, and more! One preset could recall a deep vacuum draw with the specific seal and cool cycle times for a 3 mil chamber pouch and then the next could be enough vacuum draw for the 3-gallon chamber accessory to seal off two half-gallon mason jars!

Vac100 Control Board Buttons - Vac110 and Vac310 Comparison

There are six main buttons on the control board: power, stop, settings, increase, decrease, and pump.  

To begin, press the power button. Then, press the settings button to access programs. Change programs and times with the increase and decrease buttons. The JVR Vac100 can house up to nine unique programs. Please note: Program 9 (P9) is a pre-programmed preset for cleaning the pump.

To create a new program/preset, select a program number that is not already set, for example, P2.

 

Change Vacuum Cycle Times

Once the screen reads PROG: P2, hit the settings button to access vacuum time. Change vacuum time with the increase and decrease buttons.

 

Change Seal Cycle Times

After selecting the desired vacuum time, press the settings button again to access the sealing time. Again, change time with the increase and decrease buttons.

 

Change Cool Cycle Times

After selecting the desired sealing time, press the settings button again to access the cooling time. Change time as needed using the increase and decrease buttons. Press settings a final time to save your program.

Repeat this process with any other programs you’d like to set up.
