Astell Autoclaves/Sterilisers – AMB220 | AMB230 | AMB240 | AMB420 | AMB430 | AMB440 | AMA240 | AMA440
STARTING CYCLE (DELAYED START OFF)
The chamber door must be closed and locked!
• Select the chosen cycle, as above
• Press button to start cycle
• The system starts the cycle process
ACTION AFTER POWER FAILURE
If the mains power is cut or turned off when not running
(in the standby stage) when restored the system behaves
as above for power on.
If the power cut occurs during a cycle then the action
when power returns depends on the setting of “power fail
mode” in the edit machine settings menu.
If set to “safe” the system will go to the standby stage
(it may need to cool first) this will cause an alarm state.
Cancel the alarm (refer to “alarms” section) you should
then be able to restart the sterilize cycle. In the case of
media cycles the media will probably be damaged and
unsuitable for re-sterilization. For all loads involving
pathogens, the load must be sterilized again before
opening.
If set to “continue” then the system will try to return to
the failed stage. If something has been changed in the off
period this will cause an alarm state, and a failed cycle.
Cancel the alarm (refer to alarms section) you should
then be able to restart the sterilize cycle. In the case of
interrupted media cycles the media will probably be
damaged. For all loads involving pathogens, the load
must be sterilized again before opening.
