EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS AND
THEIR OPERATION
1) Power ON-OFF switch: Applies power to unit.
2)
Dryer function switch: In the "ON" position,
the drying function is enabled and test
chamber function is disabled. In the "OFF"
position, the drying functions disabled and test
chamber function enabled.
3)
Timer: Manually settable, 60 hour maximum,
must be turned past 5 hours before setting
desired time. (Optional 120 hour timer
available.) Timer enables and controls both
the test chamber and drying time. Timer in
timed-out position de-energizes a solenoid
valve releasing pressure from chamber (when
in test chamber operation) and will also sound
an alarm indicating end of cycle. Power ON-
OFF switch will disable alarm.
4)
Test chamber temperature control: Controls
temperature/pressure when in test chamber
operation. Low position corresponds to
approximately 121°C and 15 P.S.I.. High
position corresponds to approximately 132°C
and 27 P.S.I..
5)
Dryer temperature control: Controls
temperature when drying function is selected.
Low position corresponds to approximately
40°C.
6)
Condensate valve and drain: Used to drain
excess water from condensation tank after
every test chamber cycle.
INITIAL PROCEDURE AFTER
UNPACKING UNIT
WARNING
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPARATUS
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Electrical Connections
The 8100-120 Autoclave is equipped with a
three-pronged (grounded) plug power cord. This
mates with a three-prong receptacle to minimize
the possibility of electric shock. The user should
have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the user to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do
not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use a two-prong adapter plug.
Determine the total amount of current being
used by other apparatus connected to the circuit
that will be used for this apparatus. It is critical
that the added current demand (see nameplate)
of this and other equipment used on the same
circuit does not exceed the rating of the fuse or
circuit breaker.
CAUTION
BE SURE THAT THE POWER SUPPLY IS OF
THE SAME VOLTAGE AS SPECIFIED ON THE
NAMEPLATE.
