SAFETy DEVICES
The sterilizer is equipped with the following safety devices for which we provide a brief description of their function:
–
Mains fuses
(see summary table data)
protection inside the device against a fault in the heating elements.
action: cuts the electricity.
–
Fuses protecting the electronic circuits
( see summary table data )
protection against a fault in the primary transformer circuit and low voltage uses.
action: cuts power to one or more low-voltage circuits.
–
Thermal circuit breakers on the mains voltage windings
protection against overheating of the vacuum pump motor and the primary transformer windings.
action: temporary cut-off (until cooling) of the winding.
–
Safety valve
protection against overpressure in the sterilization chamber.
action: release of the steam and restoration of the safety pressure.
–
Steam generator manual rearm safety thermostat
protection against steam generator overheating.
action: cut-off of the electricity to the steam generator.
–
Heating element manual rearm safety thermostat
protection against overheating of the heating elements of the container under pressure.
action: cut-off of the electricity to the chamber heating element.
–
Door position safety microswitch
Confirmation of the correct closing position of the door of the container under pressure.
action: signals wrong door position.
–
Mechanized door lock mechanism with electromechanical protection (pressure switch)
protection against accidental opening of the door (even in a blackout).
action: prevents accidental opening of the door during a program.
–
Door lock mechanism safety microswitch
Confirmation of the correct closing of the door lock.
action: signaling the failure or incorrect operation of the door lock mechanism.
–
Self-leveling plumbing system
plumbing system structure for the spontaneous leveling of the pressure in the case of a manual interruption of the cycle,
alarm or blackout.
action: automatic restoration of atmospheric pressure in the sterilization chamber.
– Integrated system for evaluating the sterilization process
Continuous verification of the sterilization process parameters entirely managed by microprocessor.
action: immediate interruption of the program (in case of anomaly) and generation of alarms.
– Monitoring of the sterilizer’s operation
Real-time oversight of all significant parameters when the machine is powered.
action: generation of alarm messages (in the case of anomaly) with possible interruption of the cycle.
