Ill. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Magna-Clave requires 5000 watts at 208 volts or 220-240 volts, 50-60 cycles, single phase. Line voltage
must be specified when ordering. An outlet box with conduit knockouts, grounding screw and a cover is provided
on the rear of the sterilizer. This outlet box is used for connecting a power line to the Magna-Clave.
IV.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
A. Indicator Lights
1.
Power On - The Power On light indicates that electrical
power is being supplied to the autoclave. It is illumi-
nated when the Function control is in the Fill, Sterilize
or Vent position. When the Power On light is illumi-
nated, the wall heaters of the autoclave are energized to
maintain a warm, standby condition.
2.
Heat On - The Heat On light indicates that electrical
power is being supplied to the main heating elements
which generate steam inside the boiler. When the Func-
tion control is in the Sterilize position and the door handle
in the down position (door locked), the Heat On light will
be illuminated and the main heating elements are ener-
gized. The light remains illuminated until the steam tem-
perature inside the chamber reaches the setting on the
Temperature control. The main heating elements will
cycle off-and-on to maintain the desired temperature.
3.
Sterile - The Sterile light is illuminated when: the Func-
tion control is in the Sterile position, the desired tem-
perature is reached and the Time control indicates “0.’
At the beginning of the cycle, the Time control should
be set at the desired time for sterilization. When the
Time control turns to “0,” the Sterile light illuminates
and the buzzer or chime sounds to indicate the end of
the sterilization cycle.
*Determined by manufacturing date of unit.
4.
Open Door - The Open Door light is illuminated when
the Function control is in the Vent or Fill position and
pressure in the chamber is low enough to allow the door
to be safely opened.
CAUTION: The door cannot be opened and no attempt
should be made to operate the door handle until the Open
Door button is depressed.
B. Gauges
1.
Temperature Gauge - The Temperature gauge measures the steam temperature in the discharge line
from the chamber. It is marked with a green area from 250’F to 270’F to indicate normal sterilizing tem-
peratures.
2.
Pressure Gauge - The Pressure gauge measures pressure within the chamber. It is marked with a green
area between 15 and 31 PSI (pounds per square inch).
