Page 28: The Piping System
The Piping System The piping system of the autoclave consists of air-operated valves, which control the condensate and steam flow in and out of the chamber, operate the vacuum, and the air inlet valve. The air pulses to the pneumatic valves are transmitted through solenoid pilot valves, operated at 24VDC.
Page 29 Vacuum to gasket valves (53 1-2) – connect the gasket grooves to the vacuum pump. When a door moves, during opening and closing, this valve is open and vacuum is produced to draw the gasket into the groove, ensuring a smooth sliding of the door. When the door is open, this valve is operated but vacuum is not produced.

9.12 Testing the Safety Valves Warning! Before testing the safety valve, wear heat resistant safety gloves and keep all body parts away from the steam flow. Attention! Make sure that the test is performed while the door is closed. 1. Testing the Generator Safety Valve Ensure the autoclave green toggle switch is OFF.
Page 114 If the safety valve did not blow at the pre-set pressure stop the operation of the autoclave, decrease the pressure to atmospheric pressure and replace the safety valve with a new one. If the safety valve was replaced, repeat step 2.1—2.5 to test the new one. Close solenoid valve 91 (screw's slot is horizontal).
