Performing inline filter maintenance
For maintenance of units with in-line filters, proceed as follows
(See Figure 10):
This filter should be replaced every 2000 cycles or every two years.
1. Drain the reservoir or crimp the inlet tube (1) from the reservoir
to prevent water leaking from the disconnected tubes.
2. Cut and remove the cable ties (2) connecting the filter and
inlet/outlet tubes.
3. Remove the filter (3) from the tubes.
Note:
filter before removing.
4. Insert the new filter in to the inlet and outlet tubes. Check the flow orientation of the filter.
5. Secure the tubes to the filter with new cable ties.
6. Run a sterilization cycle and observe filter and tubes for leaks. Check LCD read-outs for
messages indicating cycle status.
7. The in-line filter kit can be retro-fitted and is available as part # 01-106637S and includes the
filter, all necessary tubing and installation instructions.

Performing Pump Tube Replacement

The pump tube located between the pump and the steam
generator is designed to control the flow of water into the
steam generator so that it receives the precise amount of
water required at specific points in the sterilization cycle.
The tube is directional (pump to steam generator) and
contains a precision orifice tube inside the main tube that
has a precise diameter that controls the volume passing
through into the steam generator. The orifice tube is
located at the steam generator end of the main pump
tube. The diameter of the fitting is represented on the
outside of each pump tube by a numeric value. The larger
the value, the larger the diameter of the orifice.
If the filters are clean and the pump flow parameters are not correct, then it may be possible
to recover the correct water delivery by the replacement of the pump tube with one of larger or
smaller diameter as appropriate.
Single pump tubes are available in a large number of diameters from 0.0210" diameter to 0.0290"
diameter in 0.0005" increments.
Note:
0.0245" tube will be represented by '245'.
