INTRODUCTION This manual, together with the operator’s manual, forms the complete edition of the Operation and Maintenance instructions. This manual is intended for the use of the technician. It is forbidden for unqualified and unauthorized personnel to service the autoclave in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Any unauthorized service may result in the invalidation of the manufacturer’s guarantee.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The following utilities have to be connected (Refer to the drawing below ‘Rear View’ of the autoclave). Power outlet, as detailed in the table below: Power 3 Ph, 400V/50/60Hz Recommended Circuit Breaker If the 3 phase autoclave has to be connected to a one phase power network, 1 x 230V, 50/60Hz., connect the 1ph 230V power source to the supplied switch box that has a 1 phase input (from the power source) and a 3 phase output (to the autoclave).

TESTS Installation Tests The service technician shall perform the following preliminary checks before operating the autoclave: Integrity Check Perform a visual check to verify that there are no dents, scratches, broken gauges, etc. Leveling Check Check that the autoclave is leveled. Leakage current test Check the precise operation of the earth leakage relay.
Check connections to distilled or mineral free water. Open the distilled or mineral free water valves. Manually test the distilled or mineral free water valves by over-riding the appropriate solenoid valves. If there are no leaks, – leave the water manual inlet taps open. Observe the gauge and see that the generator reaches working pressure.
Note: The use of heavy scaled water for the vacuum pump cooling, can cause blocking of the rotor and put the pump out of operation. This invalidates the guarantee for the vacuum pump. Reverse Osmosis A Reverse Osmosis system may be used to improve the quality of the water used to generate steam in the autoclave chamber.

6.3.2 IO Card Analog inputs Digital Analog Analog inputs Analog inputs Connection to electrodes outputs outputs Pressure (4 20mA) (PT-100) MAIN Board Digital outputs IO card is an independent card. It checks the card by a method of a continuous scan of all the ports, saving the data in the memory and transporting this data according to the request in the communication channel RS-232 to the personally adapted protocol.
Page 19
The "brain" in the IO card runs on microcontroller type: STM32F103R6T6. The Microcontroller is an electrical Integrated circuit with an actualized complete system (SoC) including a processing unit, external interfaces, memory, etc. The Microcontroller is constructed of a number of main components: 1.

6.3.3 MAIN and IO cards communication protocol between IO board to Main Board Communication protocol between IO to Main boards is described below. The communication manged by the Main board (master), the IO functions as slave 1. There are six communication functions. The communication functions (to read or write) identified by number.
CHECKING AND CHANGING PARAMETERS AND OTHER DATA The control system prevents changing programs if the door is closed. This protection is intended to avoid program changes if the autoclave is loaded. If the operator for example inserts the load into the chamber, closes the door and leaves the room and another operator/user tries to change the program, the operator/user will not be able to do this unless the door is opened and the load inside the chamber can be seen.
