3. Installation Instructions The following utilities must be connected (Refer to the drawing below ‘Rear View’ of the autoclave). Power outlet, as detailed in the table below: Property Value Power 3 Ph, 400V/50/60Hz Recommended Circuit Breaker If the 3-phase autoclave must be connected to a one phase power network, 1 x 230V, 50/60Hz., connect the 1ph 230V power source to the supplied switch box that has a 1 phase input (from the power source) and a 3-phase output (to the autoclave).
Attention: Connection of water system to the autoclave must be performed through "BACK FLOW PREVENTION SYSTEM" installation as per EN 1717. Moving the Autoclave Disconnect the power supply cord. Disconnect the water and drain hoses. Disconnect the compressed air hoses (if applicable). Drain the water from the chamber.
4. Technical Data Introduction Models 5050 and 5075 ELPV-D/ELCPV-D are table-top sterilizers designed especially for the sterilization of instruments, liquids, medical waste, and other materials in hospital laboratories, medical laboratories, research institutes, food laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities. A computerized control unit ensuring a fully automatic sterilization cycle controls the autoclave.
The autoclave is provided with a pressure gauge that is used as guide only. Should there be a power failure during the operation of the autoclave, the pressure gauge indicates to the operator that there is pressure in the chamber. A deviation of +1.6% is accepted.
3 Ph, 5075 6 x 1100W IEC 61010-1 400V/50Hz 3 Ph, 5050 4 x 1100W IEC 61010-1 400V/50Hz Attention: The electrical net must be protected with a current leakage safety relay. The electrical network must comply with local rules or regulations.
Model 5050 5075 Weight 285 kg 310 kg Construction The main parts of the autoclave are made of materials as indicated below: Chamber and door are made of stainless steel. Trays are made of stainless steel. Water reservoirs are made of stainless steel.
Directives and Standards Every autoclave meets the provisions of the following Directives and is in compliance with the following Standards: ISO 9001: Quality Management System ISO 14001: Environmental Management System ISO 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration autoclaves ASME Code Section I and section VIII.
Water Quality The distilled or mineral-free water supply shall be according to the table below: Suggested maximum limits of contaminants in water for steam sterilization per EN13060 Substance Feed Water Condensate ≤ 10 mg/l ≤ 1.0 mg/l Evaporate residue ≤ 1 mg/l ≤...
RO maintenance requirements are less demanding than those of the DI units. Therefore, the use of mineral free water will contribute to better performance and longer life of the autoclave. 4.10 Electrical Data 230V configuration Property Value: 5050 Value: 5075 4400W 6600W Total Power (4*1100W) (6*1100W) Voltage...
