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: Leveling Check Check that the autoclave is leveled. b. Leakage current test Check the precise operation of the earth leakage relay. Continuity Check Check the continuity of the grounding connection. d.
Only an authorized technician shall perform the 6-months and yearly tests! WATER QUALITY Water for Generating Steam 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 sterlizers (In compliance with ISO 11134 and ISO 13683).
IN-OUT TEST Before performing any trouble shooting on the autoclave, perform an “in-out test”. In this test the technician tests all the components of the system as follows: 1. Turn on the autoclave. Note: if, for any reason, one of the parameters is corrupted and out of range, the autoclave will perform an automatic reset to the parameters set by the manufacturer upon turning on the autoclave.
TROUBLESHOOTING a) At the customer’s location, avoid replacing any component, which is not connected to a socket or to a flat cable. If necessary, replace the complete board or box. If problem persists service the autoclave at the service lab. b) Whenever the AJUNC3 board of the complete electrical assembly (CB90030) is replaced without replacing the pressure transducer, or after replacing the pressure transducer, the pressure must be re-calibrated.

6.24 Memory reset To reset the memory of the autoclave control unit backed up by a battery, proceed as follows: Verify that there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Turn the main switch to OFF position. 2. Press the STOP key. At the same time turn the main switch to ON position.
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.
Replacing the Safety Valve Caution! Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that there is no pressure in the autoclave. These instructions are valid for both, PED and ASME type safety valves. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 7.5 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”).
Replacing the Air Relief Valve 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. 7.5 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2.
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.
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 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. 7.5 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2.
Replacing the Temperature Safety Thermostat The autoclave is supplied with a temperature thermostat, which protects the heaters and autoclave against overheating, during the dry cycle. This device reconnects automatically when the chamber cools down. Caution Before starting, disconnect the instrument from the power source and ensure that there is no pressure in the autoclave.
Replacing the Cut-Off Thermostat This thermostat cuts out power to the autoclave, in the event that all other safety means do not function. For example: If the safety thermostat is defective and the temperature continues to rise, then the cut-off thermostat cuts out the power to the autoclave.
Cleaning and Replacing the Water Level Electrodes The water level electrode is located at the rear bottom area of the chamber. 7.9.1 Replacing 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.
7.10 Replacing the Drain Valve 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 autoclave cover (see para. 7.5 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”).
7.11 Replacing the Pressure Gauge Caution! Before starting, disconnect the instrument from the power source and ensure that there is no pressure in the autoclave. 7.11.1 Models 2340, 2540 Remove the door cover Remove the pressure gauge from the door. Install the new pressure gauge using Teflon tape for sealing the thread.
