ALARMS
Alarms indicate the presence of a possible fault and the need for repairs.
If a fault occurs during a cycle, the cycle will be immediately interrupted and a buzzer will
sound for 15 seconds to indicate the alarm conditions. A description of the alarm will
appear on the display along with the cycle and phase in which the alarm occurred.
To reset an alarm, press SILENCE ALARM and enter the security code or
SterilCard 06.
An alarm will cause the sterilizer to be switched off. Therefore, after cancelling the alarm
and solving the cause, you will need to switch the sterilizer back on before starting a new
cycle.
The load in the sterilizer during the cycle interrupted by the alarm is to be considered NON
STERILE and must be dried and repacked, if required.

Solution
Insufficient water quality alarm
This alarm is available only on models fitting an external water demineralization system
(optional) or if the water is automatically loaded from an external tank (optional); in this
case, the sterilizer monitors conductivity of loaded water.
In such conditions, the alarm indicates that the water conductivity value has exceeded an
acceptable level and stops the automatic water inlet.
The sterilizer will display this message when a cycle is started (see USE AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL, chapter ALARMS), only when an automatic water inlet 29 is installed (see USE
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL, chapter CONNECTIONS) and Self-filling in the Main Settings
Menu is ON.
It indicates that the conductivity of the water provided is no longer acceptable
(>25 µS/cm); this alarm is always preceded by the CHECK WATER QUALITY message.
• If the sterilizer is connected to a demineralization system, change the cartridge
following the manufacturer’s instructions. After replacing the cartridges, rinse the clean
water tank 10.
• If the sterilizer takes water from an external tank, change the water because it is no
longer suitable.
• If you want to run the sterilizer without replacing the cartridges in the water
demineralization unit, re-start the sterilizer by setting Self-filling OFF and manually fill the
tank through the
filler 14 . In this case, the water will not be monitored and you should
make sure that the quality is suitable.
Insufficient water level alarm
It indicates that there is no distilled or demineralized water in the clean water tank 10 .
The sterilizer will show this alarm if probe S2 is uncovered when cycle is started or if probe S1
is uncovered during a cycle S1.
• If the alarm appears when a cycle is started fill the clean water tank 10 .
To fill the tank without the self-filling function, loosen and remove the plug from filler 14
and insert the supplied measuring funnel 05 (use suitable water only).
If the sterilizer is on and in STAND BY mode when filled, the “Minimum water level” and
“Maximum water level” messages on the display may be used to check the level.
