provided to the rear of the autoclave. Special arrangements for the location of exhaust filters
can be made on request.
It is normal for exhaust filter housing to reach temperatures in excess of 100
consideration should be given to heat hazards when deciding on the location of an autoclave
with an exhaust filter. Provision should be made to protect personnel from heat hazards whist
maintaining adequate access for filter replacement. A minimum height of 500mm is required
above the top of the filter housing for replacement of the filter.
Provision should be made to guard or insulate pipes exiting the autoclave where these may
present a heat hazard.
Installation
Electrical
To connect your Priorclave to the power
supply simply connect a suitable cable from
your isolator to the isolator on the back of the
autoclave. In many cases the isolator will
already be connected via a suitable cable and
plug. In these cases connect this plug to the
matching socket which should be available on
your wall.
Connection to UK & EC power supplies
The electrical supply as per the required specification should be terminated in an industrial
socket to BS 4343 (IEC/EN 60309-2) which should be located on the wall to the rear of the
autoclave within 2 metres of the connection to the autoclave.
The socket should be of the 3P + N & E type rated at 16, 32 or 63 Amps dependent upon the
autoclave specification. If not provided as part of the industrial socket a suitable means of
isolation is required to be located in a position where it can easily be accessed to terminate
power to the autoclave when necessary.
The socket and isolator should be installed and tested in accordance with the IEEE Wiring
Regulations Sixteenth Edition.
If existing electrical services from a previous installation are used this should be examined and
tested in accordance with the above regulations by a qualified electrician.
For installations within the UK and EC the autoclave is supplied with a plug suitable for
connecting to a socket of the above specification. This is connected by a flexible cable to the
rear of the autoclave.
It is important to note that the earth bonding of the plug and cable arrangement is tested
before dispatch from the factory, if it is necessary to remove the plug to make alternative
arrangements for connection the installation will require re-testing.
If a cable has been fitted to the autoclave there should be no need for any further electrical
installation.
Connection to other power supplies
The following instructions relate to connection to 380-415V three phase supplies.
For areas where a 110V single phase or 220V three phase supply is usual the autoclave can be
connected across phases to operate on a 220V supply.
