Section 2 – Operating Instructions
Front Panel Controls
The figure below shows the front panel and all the associated controls. The
description of each control will follow the figure.
Air Inlet Gauge
This gauge displays the pressure of the air supply connected to the autoclave. The
pressure should be between 50 and 100 psig (340 and 690 kPa) when the pump is
not in use.
Pump Pressure Adjust Regulator
This regulator is used to control the pressure of the air supplied to the pump.
Pump Air Pressure Gauge
Indicates the pressure of the air supplied to the pump. Each 5 psig (35.5 kPa)
pressure applied to the pump results in approximately a 1000 psig (7000 kPa)
hydraulic pressure output from the pump.
Relief Valve
The relief valve or back-pressure regulator may be used to set the upper limit on
the system pressure up to 10,000 psig (69,050 kPa). Turn the relief valve knob
clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to reduce pressure. To
configure the pump and relief valve to control pressure automatically will be
discussed in the section titled Pressure Control , discussed later in the section.
