ASP STERRAD 100, Service Manual

Page: 174 / 309

Introduction
This chapter details the AC interface. Included in this chapter are the
theory of operation as it relates to the AC subsystem; the tools needed
for maintenance; calibration of the subsystem; removal and replacement
of the AC enclosure and a list of field replaceable parts.
Different AC Configurations
The STERRAD® 100 system is currently in the
Block 2.0
and
STERRAD
100 S System
phases. (
100 S
denotes a short cycle configuration.) The
Block 2.0
version of the STERRAD 100 Sterilizer is slightly different,
with regards to the AC interface, from previous versions of the STERRAD
100 System. These differences are mostly in appearance. Calibration
and removal/replacement differences are noted in the text.
When you see the STERRAD Icon next to the text, as with this
paragraph, that is the symbol for a configuration other than Block 1.8.
AC Subsystem Theory of Operation
The AC subsystem provides power to the entire sterilizer. The power is
controlled by a series of amplifiers, transformers and switches. Power
can be applied to the system using the safety interlock switch. Removal
and replacement procedures are included for the AC enclosure. however,
no calibration procedures or product certification is needed that directly
affects the AC subsystem.
AC Calibration
The AC subsystem does not require calibration. However, you should
verify that the system is
properly connected to the power source
, and
to make sure all the
subsystems are properly connected to the AC
system and all circuit breakers are on and functioning normally. Once
you have verified these things, proceed with your product servicing.
