Check the condition of the ordered Membrane + sizes and quantity supplied. It is important to check that each Membrane is marked with the re-assuring VAC-SIL® brand name. VAC-SIL® is your guarantee of quality. Each VAC-SIL® Membrane is allocated a unique and fully traceable batch number. Apart from being one of the 9 point quality checks - this item can be fully traced back to the raw material batch used; the production date and final inspection process. Therefore in the unlikely event of a problem it is vital that you quote this traceable batch number. Store VAC-SIL® Membranes inside the original packaging. Do not place heavy objects on the packaging. Store in dry, clean conditions and in temperatures as near ambient as possible, away from direct sources of heat such as boilers, radiators and direct sunlight. Generally in accordance with ISO2230 and if stored as above a minimum shelf life of 10 years can be considered. BEFORE / DURING ASSEMBLY  Switch the laminator to the “Manual” mode of operation.  Ensure no modules located in laminator or on the conveyor belts.  Remove old membrane.  Load VAC-SIL PRO® Light Blue Membrane with the fabric impression (matt textured) face down against the module surface.  It is vital that VAC-SIL® LAMIN8 or VAC-SIL LAMI-FLEX® Membranes are loaded with the black coloured Peroxide / E.V.A. resistant face down against the module surface.  Further protection and life expectancy can be guaranteed by inserting a PTFE / Fabric release sheet between the membrane and module. See service and maintenance notes below.  Place the new membrane spread out on the heating plate and heat laminator to 140°C for approx. 30 minutes.  Flatten the membrane out and heat again for 30 minutes.  A total of at least 1 hour can prevent wrinkles caused by insufficient stretching.  After heating the membrane needs to be stretched by about 1% to effect installation.
