Cycle Faults – Software Revision R1xx, R2xx, R4xx, R5xx and R6xx
33
Cycle Fault #6
Software Revisions
R2xx or R4xx
The software has detected the filtered steam
generator temperature 6°C greater than the chamber
during the sterilizing phase of a cycle.
The most probable causes are an obstruction
caused by seal misalignment or foreign material
in the seal channel, a need for thermocouple or
steam generator calibration or an old or
contaminated steam generator.
Cycle Fault #6
Software Revision
R5xx and R6xx
The software has detected the Validation
thermocouple temperature to be 5°C greater than the
chamber during the sterilizing phase of a cycle.
Check for kinked or pinched exhaust tubing and
for visible steam leaks from the cassette seal,
lid or tray. Check the solenoid and make sure
the plunger is not sticking. Recalibrate validation
thermocouple (former boiler calibration) or
chamber thermocouple. Verify PCB (chamber
temperature reading too low, for PCB rev other
than rev 7.xx bad Vref, etc.).
Cycle Fault #7
During Sterilization phase of the cycle the cassette
temperature has dropped below a threshold value.
This may be caused by a faulty solenoid valve
(fails to close), a leaky cassette, a leaky
pressure relief valve, a leaky check valve.
Check for kinked or pinched exhaust tubing.
Check for a clogged duct in the left rear of the
cassette tray.
Cycle Fault #8
Software Revisions
R2xx or R4xx
The software has detected the filtered steam
generator temperature 6°C less than the chamber
during the sterilizing phase of a cycle.
This may be caused by a faulty steam
generator, a cassette thermocouple
miscalibration, by a contaminated steam
generator or a high output pump.
Cycle Fault #8
Software Revision
R5xx and R6xx
The software has detected the Validation
Thermocouple temperature to be 5°C less than the
chamber temperature during the sterilizing phase of
a cycle.
Check for a clogged duct in the left rear of the
cassette tray. Check the solenoid for debris and
make sure the plunger is not sticking.
Recalibrate validation thermocouple (former
boiler calibration). Check PCB (chamber
temperature reading too high, for PCB rev other
than rev 7.xx bad Vref, etc.) Check water pump
( high output pump). Check water pump ( weak
pump).
