2.5
Outlet connection for one-way water
_______________________________________
The connection for the one-way water outlet at the back of the unit (3) must be hooked up to the drainage system
of the building by means of the outlet pipe supplied (transparent pipe). It is important that the pipe should
have a
steady downward gradient, without twists and kinks
. The outlet must be connected to an existing sink drain, or
to a separate NW40 drain pipe with use of the wall-mounted drain (MELAG article no. 37410).
2.6 Internal
water
supply
with
demineralized / distilled water
______________________
If the user decides for internal supply of the autoclave with demineralized / distilled water, this water is taken from
the right chamber of the built-in water storage tank. To install the internal system for supply of demineralized /
distilled water, connect the hose at the demineralized / distilled water connection of the supply tank to the swivell
threaded connection at the supply point for demineralized / distilled water on the rear side of the autoclave. For this
variation of water supply, the autoclave is delivered ready for installation. To fill the feed water tank, remove the
cover of the tank and fill the right chamber with demineralized / distilled water up to the maximum mark.
2.7
Connection of a water treatment system
____________________________________
The autoclave can be directly connected to a water treatment system for direct supply with demineralized / distilled
water. Instead of being connected to the water storage tank (as in Section 2.6), the demineralized / distilled water
connection is hooked up directly to the water treatment system. The reverse-osmosis system MELAdem
®
47 and
the ion-exchanger MELAdem®40 are designed to optimally satisfy the requirements of the Vacuklav
®
23-B. Please
consult the operating manuals of these reverse-osmosis systems for detailed instructions on installation and
placing into operation. If you decide to use water treatment systems made by other manufacturers, be sure that
they deliver water with sufficient quality and quantity. Please get in touch with the company MELAG before
connecting such systems made by other manufacturers. In addition, a water stop valve (MELAG article no. 01056)
should be installed upstream of such water treatment systems, in order to satisfy insurance requirements.
2.8
Emptying the water storage tank __________________________________________
It is easy to completely empty the water storage tank of this autoclave. This is required, for example, to clean or
repair the autoclave, or to place it out of operation. To drain the tank, pull the drain hoses out of the front panel at
the plug (see Fig. 1: drain side [21], and tank side, with demineralized water [22]). Pull out the plugs, and allow the
water to drain into a separate container.

Connection of the MELA
®
42 _________________________________________________________
The accessory printer MELAprint
®
42 is designed for connection to the autoclave Vacuklav
®
23-B. This is an optional
item which is not supplied with the normal scope of delivery for the autoclave. Follow the instructions in Section
6.3.1.1.1 of this manual to connect the printer to the autoclave.
3.1.2
Initialisation of the printer / setting for immediate printout____________________________________
Follow the instructions in Section 6.3.1.1.2 of this manual to initialise the external printer after it has been
connected. This initialisation will log the printer on to the computer control system in the autoclave. Follow the
instructions in Section 6.3.2 of this manual to set the immediate-printout option to "Yes". This means that the
system will automatically print out a report when the system program has come to an end.
