To resolve the "Comp.air error" on the Systec V Series Mediaprep-20, follow these steps:
1. Check if the device has an active cooling system (Programs 7 and 11): - If not, the error may not apply to your device.
2. Verify auxiliary pressure on the pressure reducer (manometer P1): - If no pressure is present, check the compressed air supply.
3. If pressure is present, check if it meets the required value set in program parameter 38 ("CoolPrsF"): - If too low, adjust the pressure reducer to a higher setting.
4. Check the compressed air valve (Y5) for proper function and cleanliness.
5. Inspect the sterile air filter (S1) for moisture due to condensation or leaks.
6. Check the no-return valve (R4) for possible leaks leading to the chamber.
These checks and corrections should resolve the compressed air error.

V/D S ERIES ECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES 3.3 Door lock 3.3.1 V/D-65 – 200 Principle The devices are equipped with an automatic door lock. A locking ring meshes with the door and locks it securely. The controller then checks the correct procedure using a series of inputs and outputs, thus ensuring safe operation of the device.
V/D S ERIES ECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES − Atmosphere switch (SW2): An additional relative pressure switch ensures that the power to the pneumatic assembly is interrupted if the excess pressure in the sterilisation chamber is > 4 kPa. The door is prevented from opening. If these conditions are met, the chain of events described above takes place in reverse order after the Open button on the display is pressed.

Questions and answers
Please give me solution this problem Systec media prap 20 Comp air error Please help me
To resolve the "Comp.air error" on the Systec V Series Mediaprep-20, follow these steps:
1. Check if the device has an active cooling system (Programs 7 and 11):
- If not, the error may not apply to your device.
2. Verify auxiliary pressure on the pressure reducer (manometer P1):
- If no pressure is present, check the compressed air supply.
3. If pressure is present, check if it meets the required value set in program parameter 38 ("CoolPrsF"):
- If too low, adjust the pressure reducer to a higher setting.
4. Check the compressed air valve (Y5) for proper function and cleanliness.
5. Inspect the sterile air filter (S1) for moisture due to condensation or leaks.
6. Check the no-return valve (R4) for possible leaks leading to the chamber.
These checks and corrections should resolve the compressed air error.
