Opening Instructions
Your Priorclave Autoclave is electrically locked. In order to open it and
access the full operating instructions it will first be necessary to connect
it to a suitable electrical supply as follows:
UK & EC power supplies
For installations within the UK and EC the autoclave is supplied with a plug suitable for
connecting to a socket of the specification described below. This is connected by a flexible
cable to the rear of the autoclave.
If a cable has been fitted to the autoclave there should be no need for any further electrical
installation and the autoclave can be plugged into the electrical supply.
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.
Other power supplies
If a cable and plug are not fitted then your Priorclave can be wired as shown in the diagram
below.
Your Priorclave can be wired in one of two electrical configurations depending on the power
supply available. If in doubt as to which one applies check your power supply.
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.
If not already supplied as a supplementary sheet to this manual separate instructions are
available by contacting Priorclave - service@priorclave .co.uk – making sure to include the
autoclave serial number in your correspondence.
3 Phase - 10.5 kW Heating
The power supply should be a 3 phase and
neutral isolated supply, rated at 15 Amps per
phase and connected to the isolator as in the
diagram below. Sufficient length of cable
should be used to allow the autoclave to be
moved if necessary and worked on from the
back. The cable used to the earth line and
neutral feeds should be capable of carrying
the per phase amperage of the supply. The
neutral line must be nominally at earth
potential and must NOT be fused. This
equipment must be earthed.
After connecting the autoclave to a suitable power supply it can be opened as follows:
1.
Check that there is power at the wall isolator and that the wall isolator is turned is ON.
2.
Switch on the power at the isolator at the back of the autoclave. All indicators will light
momentarily and a sounder will bleep. This enables the indicators to be checked.
