    4 - 6 4.2. SETTING UP 4.2.1 SAFETY COVER The unit is fitted with an acrylic safety cover which is locked in the closed position when the unit is not switched on and the temperature of preparation chamber is above 65°C. Do not attempt to remove the cover when the unit is switched off.

  • Page 20: Use

    4 - 7 Important : - Remove the decompression valve head (point 21 figure 4.5) and fill with carded (sterile) cotton-wool to ensure filtering of bacteria during dispensing phase (see. Ch. 4.3, phase 6). The unit is now ready for use. 4.3.
  • Page 21 4 - 8 Phase 3 : Temperature build-up The temperature rises at 100°C/hour for the SH110, 135°C/hour for the SH105, which gives the following times for sterilising at 120°C with an initial water temperature of 20°C. - 1 hour for the SH110, - 45 minutes for the SH105.

  • Page 23: Maintenance After Use

    4 - 10 4.4.3 AUTOMATIC DECOMPRESSION OF THE HEATING CHAMBER After use, opening the safety cover automatically engages the discharge electrovalve and decompresses the chamber. Then carefully follow the instructions in the “Maintenance after use” chapter. 4.5. MAINTENANCE AFTER USE 4.5.1 DECOMPRESSING THE MEDIUM CHAMBER Before removing the chamber lid, always : - Decompress the preparation chamber by screwing in the milled decompression knob.

  • Page 24: Risks

    Ensure that the unit is properly earthed when connected to the mains. 5.1.3 IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH FLAMES Have the instrument checked by the JOUAN Service Department or take it out of service. 5.1.4 MODIFICATION OF THE INSTRUMENT Any modification of the instrument is forbidden without the manufacturer's agreement.
  • Page 25 5 - 2 5.2.1 THERMAL PROTECTION The unit is fitted with two thermal cut-outs. - An electronic overheating sensor. If the temperature in the medium chamber exceeds 130°C, the heater is cut out and the cold water circulation system automatically cuts in. - A manually re-set safety thermostat mounted on the outside of the heating cuts out the heating circuit if the temperature is no longer controlled (breakdown in the electronic control system).
  • Page 26 5 - 3 Locking system An automatically locking acrylic cover prevents access to the metal parts of the safety cover when the medium temperature is above 65°C. Switching off the unit also engages the locking system if the cover was in the "down" position. Unlocking : Normal procedure The cover is normally unlocked by a solenoid switch.
  • Page 27 5 - 4 5.2.7 RELIEF VALVE In the event of abnormal overpressure in the medium chamber, the relief valve in the lid releases pressure above 2.2 bars. In such cases the safety cover protects the operators against scalding. 5.2.8 ON-LINE RELEASE VALVE This is incorporated in the hydraulic circuit and maintains the pressure in the heating chamber at 2.2 bars by releasing excess pressure by discharging water.

  • Page 29 5 - 6 5.3.2 CHAMBER LID See description in chapter 4.1.4 The chamber lid must be handled with care to avoid damaging the sensitive instruments such as : temperature probe, dispensing tube, mixing blade. Never lift the lid by the motor cover nor the temperature connecting lead. The decompression system must be filled with fresh carded cotton-wool every time the unit is used : - The chamber is decompressed by screwing the valve in.

    6 - 1 6 SERVICING AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 6.1. CLEANING It is essentiel to clean the instrument after each use. 6.1.1 INTERNAL CHAMBER AND LID The underneath of the lid and the preparation chamber must be cleaned immediately after dispensing to prevent the agar gelling and sticking to parts of the unit.

  • Page 31: Spare Parts List

    6 - 2 Symptom Action Fluctuating dispense temp. Check water flow rate (2-3 litres per minute) . during start-up. Contaminated media. Check that carded cotton filter in decompression valve is clean. Check that the decompression valve screw is closed (UP) during the run.
