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.
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.
WATER QUALITY 4.1. Water quality The distilled or mineral – free water supplied to the sterlizer shall be according to the table below: Physical Characteristics and Maximum acceptable contaminants levels in water or steam for sterilizers (According to EN 285:2006). Evaporate residue ≤...
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM. (See CDR Control diagram). The control system is based on 3 electronic boards designed according to the autoclave requirements, the digital board DIG-T2 containing the micro- controller memories, buffers and digital ICs and the analog board ANL-T2 which performs the processing of signals coming from the sensors and switches.
— The board contains an optimal Real Time Clock (U12), which serves as a clock to the system, including a back-up battery, which ensures the clock, runs continuously even when the autoclave is not powered. This component is optimal because it is related to the operation of the printer, which is also an optional item.
Analog Board ANL-T2 The analog board contains the drivers of the valves, heaters and pump. It contains the sensors circuits connected to the control system, and serves as a junction to the autoclave connections. The input is 12VDC & 5VDC and the output is for all the signals to the autoclave.
AC - Board - AC-T1 This board receives command signals from ANL-T2 board designated to activate AC devices. It converts them to AC mode. The AC-T1 board provides AC filtering for the power supply to the control system and protection from sharp current fluctuations. The AC-T1 board includes: —...
CALIBRATION OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE Method of Calibration: The calibration of temperature and pressure is performed digitally. The temperature and pressure measuring circuits are designed with components having 1% accuracy. The temperature circuit is linear and has an output of 100mV÷2400mV for a temperature range 20°C÷150°C.
Temperature Calibration Procedure — Press the PROGRAM key. — The system enables to set the system’s date the time. — This operation is skipped by pressing PROGRAM key six times. — CODE: ∅∅∅ will be displayed. — Select Technician Code (011) by the UP/DN keys and press the PROGRAM key.

Remarks: — When cursor is set under any figure, pressing the START/STOP key stops calibration. — When the cursor is set under any figure, it enables to feed this value to the reading of temperature by pressing the PARAMETERS key. Example: If the cursor is set under R68.0 on the upper row and the actual temperature of the autoclave is now 66.0ºC, by pressing the...
Pressure Calibration Procedure To perform the pressure calibration two points have to be defined allowing the calculation of new OFFSET and GAIN values. — Press the PROGRAM key. — Skip date and the time setting by pressing the PROGRAM six times. —...

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES General The software for the control system of E-Type autoclaves is AS FOLLWS: EaEn3WP20 for standard autoclaves. EaEn3WP20AR for autoclaves designed to operate at high altitude (above 2500 m. The software contains a table of parameters of which part of them defines the autoclave, and part defines the processes in the autoclave.

8.2.3 Heat Standby – Heating elements operation in Standby Mode Access Code – Resolution – Value – 0 or 1 — If Heat Standby = 0, the heating elements will not operate in the Standby Mode. — If Heat Standby = 1, the heating elements will operate in the Standby mode, in a shoot mode of 1 second on, 59 seconds off.

8.2.10 Water Time – Time for entering water to the autoclave This value defines the entry time of the water to the autoclave to locate the electrode touching the water. This time will change from process to process and even for different autoclaves.
8.2.13 Req Prs+ This defines the required addition to the sterilization pressure in kpa. For example, for a sterilization temperature of 121ºC the required pressure is 204kpa. Since the system controls the sterilization process according to pressure and temperature, if Req Prs+ equals Ø, the system will maintain the pressure at 204kpa.
REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS Safety Tests after Repair ATTENTION! After every repair or dismantling the enclosure, the autoclave should pass two safety electrical test by the Service Engineer. The following shall be performed: 1. Enclosure Leakage Current Test. Every autoclave should pass this test as follows: 1.
Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave Caution! Before starting, disconnect the instrument from the power source and ensure that there is no pressure in the autoclave. Allow the autoclave to cool before removing outer covers. 1. Remove the screws holding the rear cover (1). 2.
Replacing the Safety Valve Caution! Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that there is no pressure in the autoclave. Note: These instructions are valid for both, PED and ASME type safety valves. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 9.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”).
Replacing the Air Jet Caution! Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that there is no pressure in the autoclave. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 9.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2. Remove the water reservoir cover. 3.
Replacing the Air Relief-safety relief Valve block Caution! Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that there is no pressure in the autoclave. In case the water reservoir is deeply contaminated (soil, lime stone. etc.) it is recommended to replace the entire unit. 1.
Replacing the electronics board (control panel) Caution! Make sure that the power cord is disconnected! If the electronic box was damaged by any liquid that entered the box, do not attempt to replace it. In this case only the factory technicians may repair the autoclave.
Replacing Heating elements Caution: Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected from the power source and that there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 9.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2.
