7.4 Error
reports
__________________________________________________________
Errors are generally reported by a "Error" on the display with the number of the error and its short name.
Error reports may occur without a program start (when the power is switched on or soon after), or during a
program.
If errors are reported during a program, then in addition to the error report the program will also be stopped.
This may be accompanied by the equalisation of the pressure in the autoclave, and in this case the error
message will alternate with the messages "Pressure release", or "Ventilation", and "End".
After the termination, the display will alternately show the error message and "Quit with "-" button" and then
"Terminate End". Pressing "-" deleted the error message (if the error is not permanent). Until you have quit the
error message the autoclave door cannot be opened. If a program has been prematurely terminated in this
way the autoclave load must always be regarded as being
not sterilized
(or
not disinfected
). We
recommend that you unload the autoclave, carry out a sterilization cycle without any load (the drying may be
impaired for this first cycle) and then reload the autoclave and repeat the interrupted operation cycle.
If an external printer is connected and "Immed. print-out? Yes" is selected, a record will automatically be
printed out at the end of the termination.
The print-out shows the full name of the error, and if a program has been interrupted before completion it will
also show "Load not sterile". The following list gives error reports, the cause and possible remedies.
Warning message
Cause / Remedy
The monitoring time for reaching the evacuation pressure for
the individual pressure cycles, pressure release, or for
reaching the minimum drying pressure has been exceeded:
Check that the door seal and the lip of the opening to the
pressure chamber are intact and clean.
Check that the autoclave is standing properly (see
Section: 0)
Check that the outflow of condensate is not obstructed by
fallen instruments, pieces of filter paper, etc. on the floor
of the pressure chamber.
Check for leaks using the "Vacuum test" program.
If this occurs repeatedly, inform your specialist dealer.
The monitoring time for a heating phase or for reaching the
sterilization pressure has been exceeded:
maximum load exceeded
voltage of mains power supply is too low; check mains
supply; try autoclave on different power circuit.
If this occurs repeatedly, inform your specialist dealer.
The monitoring time for pressure release was exceeded:
Check that the cooling water outflow allows steady
drainage, without kinks (see Section: 2.5)
If this occurs repeatedly, inform your specialist dealer.
The monitoring time for the ventilation of the pressure
chamber was exceeded.
The sterile filter is clogged, there will have been an earlier
warning message (see Section: 7.3)
Exchange
filter.
Maximum difference between the program duration and the
internal clock exceeded:
If this occurs repeatedly, inform your specialist dealer.
Door not closed properly
Press grip down until contact is made (display should then
show "Door closed")!
If this occurs repeatedly, inform your specialist dealer.
