Installation Guide & Owner’s Manual

Tank Positioning
The VistaCool system should be set on a hard, level surface and installed so that the top of the water tank
is
above
the coolant overflow fitting on the drain adapter assembly, and
below
the autoclave outlet� If the
tank is below the level of the coolant overflow fitting, the system may not operate properly� Installing a
tank at the wrong height may create resistance for proper water flow, since the system is designed to take
advantage of gravity flow�
AUTOCLAVE
Starting & Using the System
1� Turn on the main water supply and check for leaks�
2� Slowly open the inline water supply valve fully and check for leaks�
3� Prime the system by inserting a small screwdriver in the view port
hole on the brass stem of the thermal regulator on top of the tank and
pushing
up
on the water valve piston� The system is primed when water
can be seen leaving the 1/2” overflow fitting on the tank and running to
the drain adapter�
4� Set the water tank in an elevated position above the drain connection as described above to ensure
proper drain flow� The adjustable tank stand accessory (S7545 for use with single-unit V7501; S7547 for
use with double-unit V7502) may be needed to securely support the tank at the proper height�
5� After making all connections, make sure the water coolant valve is fully open� Check again for leaks,
then run three consecutive autoclave cycles to ensure everything is working properly�
Once VistaCool is properly installed and primed it will function without operator input� Beyond periodic
visual inspections of the tubing, there is nothing users must do to ensure proper operation�

Adjustable tank stands for installing the VistaCool at the correct height are available as accessories when
needed (S7545 for use with single-unit V7501; S7547 for use with double-unit V7502)� These stands raise
the tank height between 1/2” and 5” in 1/2” increments�
