Cycle Description
The autoclave starts performing the sequence of operations.
The actual measured values of pressure and temperature are
displayed continuously and printed o n t h e p r i n t e r .
The display shows the current stage of the cycle. (See sec. 3.1).
In any program that has a drying stage scheduled, the dry stage
begins after the steam exhaust stage. The autoclave is equipped with
a vacuum pump that during the drying stage creates a vacuum in the
chamber drawing moisture from the instruments. Drying is performed
with the door closed.
At the end of a successful cycle, the screen shows the Cycle Ended
message and the door is automatically unlocked. The air valve is
o p e n e d to prevent formation of a vacuum.
In the event of a program failure, the exhaust valve is opened to
release pressure from the chamber and a fail message is displayed
There is a mandatory 1 minute of drying before the door can be
opened. When the mandatory drying is completed pressing
the
START/STOP
key will clear the error message and unlock the
door.
