Calibration Procedure 7: for Rev 7.x Boards,
Software R6.xx
For S-class STAT
IM 5000 (2007 - present) with revision 7.x type controller boards and revision
6.xx software.
Important:
•
Incorrect or inaccurate calibration may cause unsuccessful sterilization of instruments.
•
Always calibrate the thermocouples after a thermocouple replacement, thermocouple bend
or disconnect, controller board replacement or microprocessor / eePRoM replacement,
steam generator replacement or probe bracket replacement.
•
Make sure that there is sufficient steam-process distilled water in the unit prior to starting
calibration.
•
S-class units contain electronic components which may be damaged or destroyed by
electro-static discharge (eSD). observe appropriate safeguards when calibrating.
•
There are specific error messages (cycle faults) for these board/software types. These can
be found in the
Troubleshooting Cycle Faults
section.
•
In calibration mode no error messages are displayed.
•
Boiler calibration is not required on these units.
•
These units may be calibrated with the cover in place oR using the control box as all
adjustments are made with the WRAPPeD or uNWRAPPeD keys on the relevant keypad.
•
There is No reference voltage adjustment in these machines.
Calibration Procedure
Calibration of these boards should be done in the following order:
1. Chamber thermocouple/pressure transducer calibration
Required equipment and tools:
• Control box - 01-103141S
• Calibration cassette (appropriate to model)
• Digital thermometer
• Digital pressure meter
• Digital voltmeter
Setting up the unit for calibration:
1. Before starting calibration, turn the STAT
IM
oFF.
2. The cover MAY be removed and the control box attached if deemed appropriate, but the unit
can be calibrated with the cover on as all adjustments to the calibration offsets are undertaken
using the keypad on the unit.
3. Check that there is sufficient steam process distilled water in the reservoir, and that the
calibration cassette is correctly engaged in the STAT
IM.
4. Install the thermocouple into the cassette and attach the digital thermometer.
5. Ensure that the thermocouple and digital thermometer have matched serial numbers.
6. Attach the pressure reference meter to the pressure tube and the pressure tube to the test
cassette. (Self locking couplings).
