This manual includes servicing and maintenance information for OT 020 and OT 020V Bench Top Steam Sterilizers. It is prepared to be used by technicians who were formerly trained by Nuve. This manual informs the technicians about the operating principles, diagnosing and repairing methods and spare part replacing.
During sterilization, the condense solenoid valve keeps the pressure in the chamber constant according to the set temperature. Steam discharge and drying (OT 020): During the steam discharge phase, the steam in the sterilization chamber is discharged and after the pressure has dropped to zero, moisture in the sterilizator chamber is discharged according to driying time set on the OT 020.
SECTION 2 OPERATING PRINCIPLES 2.1. GENERAL OVERVIEW The OT 020 and OT 020V can be split into 4 main groups, Power supply values • Control unit • Heating unit • Water and steam unit • 2.2. EXPLANATIONS FOR THE FUNCTIONS 2.2.1.
2.2.3. Control Panel The illustration below shows the functions of the display board. For more information, please see the OT 020 or OT 020V user’s manual. Figure 1- OT 020 Temperature display 11. Preperation led Time display 12. Sterilization led Temperature setting key 13.

2.2.4. Water and Steam Unit The steam needed for the sterilization is generated by boiling the distilled water which is taken from the water tank to the sterilization chamber. The pressure in the sterilization chamber is followed on the manometer. ♣...
SECTION 3 SERVICING Caution: Before servicing the instrument, please take the necessary precautions for your health. Please respect to the warnings on the unit!! Please make sure that you have disconnected the unit before you service it. 3.1. GENERAL OVERVIEW The failures can be diagnosed according to the following tables.
3.2. GENERAL FAILURES FAILURE PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTION 1 The on / off switch is ON Power supply inlet failure Check that mains voltage is supplied to the unit. but it does not lighten, the display is blank. Check that the terminal connections and power supply socket connections are well connected.

FAILURE PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTION The main PCB SSR relay does Check the outlet with a multimeter. If there is no not outlet. (12 VCD) outlet, replace the main PCB. The SSR is defective. Replace the SSR. 6 The lid leaks steam. The lid gasket does not fit well Adjust the gasket length to make it fit properly.
3.3. TEMPERATURE CONTROL FAILURES FAILURE PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTION The temperature does The main PCB SSR terminal Check the SSR terminal outlet with a not reach the set does not outlet. multimeter. If there is no outlet (12 VCD), temperature replace the main PCB. The heater is defective.
