The  temperature  and  pressure  are  controlled  through  sensors  placed

inside and outside the media container or bottles.

The  sterilizer  is  fully  automatic  with  a  choice  of 10  programs,

eliminating any need for operator intervention during a cycle (program

7-10 are for  vacuum  test  only).  A  computerized  control  unit  enables

precise  control  and  monitoring  of  physical  parameters  and  clear

documentation of the sterilization cycles.

The autoclave is equipped with a safety valve, which will discharge at

an  overpressure  of  over  2.8  Bar  (40  psi),  which  is  located  on  the

chamber near the pressure switch and the steam pressure gauge. The

control  system  provides  adequate  protection,  to  ensure  the  safety  of

personnel and reliable operation with a minimum of down time.

The  sterilizer  has  multiple  built - in  safety  devices,  which provides

adequate protection to ensure the safety of operating personnel.

The  printer  prints  the  preset  and  actual  parameters  of  the  cycle

(temperature, time and pressure).

The autoclave is provided with a pressure gauge that is used as guide

only.  Should  there  be  a  power  failure  during  the  operation  of  the

autoclave,  the  pressure  gauge  indicates  to  the  operator  that  there  is

pressure in the chamber.

A deviation of +1.6% is accepted.

Note:

After operating the sterilizer, brown stains might appear on the bottom

of the chamber. These stains are a result of the heating elements that

are located at the lower external part of the chamber. The brown color

is a common phenomenon, can easily be removed, and will not have

any effect on the sterilized goods.

This  manual  is  intended  to  give  the  user  a  general

understanding  of  how  the  autoclave  works  and  indicates  the

best  ways  to  operate  and  take  care  of  it  in  order  to  obtain  optimum

results  and  a  trouble-free  operation.  After  reading  this  manual,

operating the autoclave should be straightforward. However, since the

autoclave  is  built  using  high  technology  sensitive  components,  no

attempt should be made by the user or any other unauthorized person

to repair or recalibrate it.

Only technical personnel having proper qualifications, holding

technical  documentation  and  adequate  test  instrumentation  are

authorized to undertake repair or service.
