Description of Error Message
Probable Cause of Error Message
Check Cassette
#1
The cassette temperature failed to reach 95°C in 3
minutes.
This error message occurs only during warm up. The
most probable causes are:
1. Steam generator does not heat up. No power to steam
generator. Blown thermal fuse.
2. Check for a large cassette leak or a large load.
Check Cassette
#2
The cassette temperature failed to increase from
95°C to 100°C within 1 minute 20 seconds.
Most probable causes are a faulty cassette seal,
miscalibration, a damaged cassette, improperly adjusted
or failed microswitch allowing unit to function when
cassette is not fully inserted. Occasionally, a low pressure
weather system in higher altitude sites will alter the
boiling temperature significantly and trigger this fault.
Verify Vref to be 4.0V.
Check Cassette
#3
The cassette has failed to pressurize and achieve a
temperature of 110°C within 70 seconds of
pressurization.
This may be caused by a faulty or worn cassette seal, a
faulty or dirty solenoid valve, a damaged cassette or a
faulty exhaust tube, leaky check valve or pressure relief
valve.
Check Cassette
#4
The cassette has failed to achieve sterilization
conditions within 10 minutes of the chamber first
reaching
102°C.
Several conditions may cause this: a damaged or worn
cassette seal, a faulty solenoid valve, an improperly
installed copper tubing, cassette thermocouple
misalignment or damage, a faulty steam generator
pressure relief valve or a faulty check valve on.
