APPENDIX E – ALARMS
INTRODUCTION
Every time an anomalous condition occurs during the operation of the sterilizer, an alarm is
generated, identified by a specific code (consisting of a letter followed by a 3-digit number).
Alarm codes are divided into three categories:
•
E = ERROR
Wrong maneuver and/or use, or a cause external to the device.
A problem that can generally be fixed by the user.
Code format:
Exxx (xxx
= identifying number from 000 ÷ 999)
•
A = ALARM
First-level fault, not linked to safety.
A problem that normally is fixed by a specialized technician on-site.
Code format:
Axxx (xxx
= identifying number from 000 ÷ 999)
•
H = HAZARD
Second-level fault, linked to safety.
A problem generally fixed by the Technical Support Center.
Code format:
Hxxx (xxx
= identifying number from 000 ÷ 999)
ALARM
INTERVENTION
Alarm during a cycle
NOTE
I
N THE CASE OF AN ALARM
,
PLEASE ONLY REMOVE VOLTAGE FROM THE DEVICE AFTER
EXECUTING A RESET
(
SEE THE PARAGRAPH
,
“R
ESETTING THE
S
YSTEM
”).
The intervention of the alarm causes the interruption of the cycle (or the normal equipment
operation) with the relative appearance of an alarm code and a message on the display,
accompanied by a beep and the lit alarm icon (intermittent).
NOTE
D
URING THE ALARM PROCEDURE
,
THE DISPLAY ALWAYS SHOWS THE CURRENT
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE IN THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER
.
This procedure is designed so as not to allow the user to mistake an anomalous cycle for a
correctly completed cycle and, as a consequence, involuntarily using non-sterile material.
The alarm procedure is differentiated depending on whether it occurs during the execution of
the program or outside, and is structured to guide the user to the necessary RESET of the
sterilizer.
If the alarm intervenes during a program, the display will show the message:
( A l a r m M e s s a g e )
L E V E L L I N G
1 1 4 . 6 ° C X X X X
0 . 7 0 b a r 1 1 : 3 0
Whenever an alarm is generated in certain phases of the cycle, an automatic procedure is
activated to clean the internal water circuit. The display will contain the notice:
( A l a r m M e s s a g e )
C I R C U I T C L E A N I N G
1 0 0 . 6 ° C X X X X
0 . 7 0 b a r 1 1 : 4 0
