PROCESS DESCRIPTION
T = temperature sensor
Bv = NOn-return valve
MV = solenoid valve
PK = PRessure sensor
LS = Level switch
GENERAL
The sterilizer has an integrated steam generator.
Pump P1 (a vibration-type pump) pumps deionized water from an integrated

tank to the steam generator, which turns the water into steam. The tem-
perature of the steam generator is proportionally controlled to 255 ±5 °C, by
means of temperature sensor “Heat acc”.
The temperature of the chamber walls is proportionally controlled to the set

value by means of temperature sensor “Chamber”.
The pressure in the chamber rises when steam enters the chamber. The pres-
sure is monitored by a pressure sensor which, via a PID regulator, controls the
frequency of pump P1. The steam temperature is monitored by temperature
sensor “Steam”.
Page 9 of 80
vacuum system
Ejector system
Solenoid valve MV-1 is used to discharge the chamber. The steam flows to
the condense tank. The overflow is lead to the waste connection.
Pump P2 supplies an ejector, which creates a vacuum to reduce the pressure

in the chamber below atmospheric pressure. Water is circulated by the pump
from the big water reservoir via the ejector back to the water reservoir. The
main part of the water is thereby returned to the water reservoir. Only a small
part goes out to the waste. This ensures a low water temperature in the reser-
voir, which guarantees both that the pre-programmed vacuum levels quickly
are reached and that the water consumption thereby is minimized.
Solenoid valve MV-2 admits air, filtered through the air filter, to enter the
chamber.
VWW System (option)

Solenoid valve MV-1 is used to discharge the chamber. The steam flows
through the cooler.
MV-IN VWW and temperature sensor “Sensor VWW” control the temperature
in the water reservoir; the temperature shall be max 50 ±5 °C. When the
temperature is above 50 °C, the valve (IN VWW) opens and fills water into the
water reservoir. The water in the reservoir is used to feed the pump 2.
The MV-AIR VWW controls the sound level in system, when the pump 2 is
starting, the valve opens for 1 second and lets air into the pump. The rest
water comes out into the drain.
HEATING UP
The element that preheats the steam generator and chamber is connected
to the power supply. The display shows “HEATING”. When the temperature
of the steam generator reaches 248 °C and the chamber reaches 117 °C, the
process parameters show up and the sterilizer is ready to be used.

PRE-TREATMENT (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
The aim of pre-treatment is to drive out the air that prevents the essen-
tial contact between the steam and the microorganisms to be killed. Pre-
treatment consists of fractionated vacuum, series of varied vacuum and
pressure pulses.
The pre-treatment consists of
1 Steam-blow where pump P1, MV-3 and MV-1 are started/opened

alternately during a preset time.
2-5 Pressure drops where MV-1 and pump P2 are opened/started to a

preset vacuum level.
6-7 Pressure rise where pump P1 and MV-3 are started/opened and
runs to a pre-programmed value. The sterilization pressure is
reached in the last pressure rise pulse. When sterilization pressure
and sterilization temperature have been achieved for temperature
sensor X5, “STERILIZATION” appears on the display.
SterilizATION (8)
Sterilization takes place by alternatively pumping steam into the chamber,
and then evacuating this to uphold the saturated steam relation (boiling
point at a specific pressure). The sterilization phase is in progress during
a pre-programmed number of minutes at the pre-selected temperature/
pressure.
Two temperature ranges are standard:

• 134 °C (134-138 °C), 3150 mbar ABS, 4 and 18 minutes
• 121 °C (121-124 °C), 2150 mbar ABS,16 minutes
The sterilization phase continues for a preset time at preset temperature/
pressure. The pressure is regulated using pump P1, which will start when
required when the pressure/temperature reaches a preset value.
POST-TREATMENT (9) (10) (11) (12)

The purpose of post-treatment is to reduce the moisture content in the

goods. During post-treatment the pressure drops to atmospheric pressure
or lower - depending on the selected program. The vacuum phase is com-
pleted by air being drawn through a sterile filter until atmospheric pressure
prevails in the chamber.
9 MV-1 and pump P2 are opened/started.
10 When the pressure reaches the preset value, a timer starts.
11 When the time has elapsed, MV-1 closes and MV-2 opens, air en-
ters the chamber via the air filter and the pressure is rising towards
atmospheric pressure.
12 When atmospheric pressure is reached, the sterilizer indicates
“FINISHED” in the control panel.

COMPONENT CHECK
1. General checks
WARNING!
!
Use only insulated tools at any work which requires the equipment to
be energized. Disconnect the power supply at any other work.
NOTE!
Use Getinge original parts to guarantee reliable funtionality. Getinge
service kit, seals and O-rings are all optimized for the specific use
and strain. Non-original parts will void any valid product warranty.
It is extremely important for safe functionality that all couplings are tight-
ened so that a poor air removal in the process is avoided and not jeop-
ardizing the sterilization result. If pipe couplings must be removed while
performing checks, think about the following when assembling:
• Only use Getinge original spare parts.
• If the coupling from factory site was not tightened with Teflon tape,
the coupling might have to be heated up slightly to facilitate dis-
mounting.
• There are lots of tightening liquids on the market, but most of them
are not suitable for steam. Therefore it is strictly recommended to
use Teflon tape when remounting any coupling.
Page 20 of 80
2. Pipe/pipe couplings
TIP!
Leakage testing
• Run a cycle and visually look for steam leakages.
• Use soapy water on cold components.
• Use a mirror on hot components.
Leakages
Check
• Remove all covers including cover for steam generator.
• Start a P01 TEXTILE 134 °C program.
Set the Service switch to 1 during the sterilization phase. Troubleshoot
when pressurized.
• Check for steam leakages. Around the connections to the steam gen-
erator, look for water drips on the inlet side and steam leakages on the
outlet side. Use a dentist mirror for small steam leakages by holding it
to the connections and look for condense on the mirror.
• Set the Service switch to 0 and allow the process to continue for pres-
sure release.
Troubleshoot in vacuum
• Set the Service switch to 1.
• Check for water leakages in the ejector and other water pipes. A clear
indication of leakages are miscolored connections.
Couplings
Check
Check for leakages.
Action
Leakages in quick connections: disconnect the hose, cut of a small piece
and reconnect. Replace hose if not long enough for shortening.

Change quick connection if leakage is not solved.
Silicone hoses
Check
If miscolored, change the hoses. Follow the service intervals.
If stiff, change the hose.
If dirty, clean the hose.
Action
Change or clean the hoses.
Verification
Check all pipes/pipe couplings again.

Risk of steam. Remember the risks of discharged hot steam when the
pressure relief valve trips.
NOTE!
Valve status. All valves open in an energized state.
Pay attention to solenoid valves that hum! The noise may be a warning
about the coil starting to overheat due to it not working in a closed iron
circuit. This can occur when the moving core is influenced by the magnetic
forces from the winding and dirt prevents the coil from reaching the end po-
sition. An air gap forms in the magnetic circuit, which lowers the inductance
in the coil resulting in increased current.
MV-1 (connected to X16:4)

This is fitted in the T-piece (ejector) close the pump P2. Its task is to evac-
uate air and steam from the chamber. It is open when connected to the
power supply. The valve is open when the sterilizer is in the home posi-
tion if the door is closed. It is closed with no power as soon as the door
is opened.
Checking: Activate pump P2 and MV-1. The pressure shall reach the max-
imum vacuum level after approximately 20 minutes. Also check, during
MV-1
the holding time at 134 °C that the valve is not leaking. NOTE, that the
valve is opening for venting during the holding time.
MV-1 is the most heavy-loaded valve in the sterilizer.
Check
Check that both the plunger and the area it runs in are clean. Always
change the O-ring that seals between the coil and housing after removing
the coil. Activate MV-3 and pump P1 to about 2 bar. Activate MV-1. Check
that the pressure drops to atmospheric pressure. Measure the resistance
on the coil, 800 Ohm. Check the voltage supply.
Action
Clean the valve and replace the plunger. Replace the entire valve if nec-
essary.
Verification
Run the leakage test program followed by a Textile 134 °C program.
Check that no steam enters the drain water tank when the chamber is
pressurized.

This valve controls pressure equalization after the post-vacuum phase. It
is energized and open when the sterilizer is in the standby position. The
valve closes when the door is opened.

! 12. Overheating protection (OVP), resetting
CAUTION!
!
Never disconnect or jumpering the OVP.
Always investigate/ troubleshoot for any underlaying root cause for the
OVP tripping. If defect OVP, always change it - do not adjust or repair!
Protects the steam generator from overheating.

The protection trips at approx. 300 °C and requires manual resetting. The
sensor is located at the rear end of the sterilizer, under the steam generator in
a box. The resetting button (A) is placed just above the power socket on the
back sterilizer. When the OVP trips the display shows “HEATING ERROR”.
NOTE!
Resetting
Note that if overheating protection trips due to a temperature outside of
the working range (0-300 °C), the sterilizer must cool or be heated for
a period so that the resetting button remains pressed in. Wait until the
sterilizer is within the working range again. The unit should always be de-
energized when resetting.
Note that it requires a great deal of force to press in the red button (A).
Possible causes:
• The sterilizer has been transported in temperatures below freezing.
• A fault has occurred in the temperature regulation of the steam generator,
like defective OVP device, PT-100 or control board.
The unit should always be de-energized when resetting.

Connected to: L, N, and X:21:1
Check
Check that the manual resetting button is pressed in and check with an in-
dependent thermometer that the steam generator temperature does not ex-
ceed 300 °C. Measure the voltage on the incoming and outgoing pins on the
protection. Voltage on the incoming but not on the outgoing, means that the
protection has tripped or is faulty.
Measure the temperature of the steam generator at Tp1.
Action
Replace the OVP or the root cause of the problem.
Verification
Page 34 of 80 Check that the control panel is on and that the system is fully operational.
13. STEAM Pump (P1)
Pump P1 is located to the right side under the steam generator in the front
side. Its function is to feed the steam generator with distilled or deionized
water. The pump is of a vibration type. The voltage supply is frequency
regulated via the output pump P1 (triac output).
NOTE!
It is not possible to verify the function of the pump by measuring the
voltage.
Connected to: X21:3
Check
Loosen the pipe coupling on the pressure side of the pump. Activate
pump P1 (TRIAC) and MV-3 from the diagnostics menu. The pump should
give a flow of 100-200 ml/minute with 100 % pump level.
The pressure shall manage to rise to 2.7 bar, whereafter the safety valve
shall open.
Action
Replace the pump.
Verification
Run a program.
Page 35 of 80
14. vacuum Pump (P2)
The purpose of pump P2 is to supply the ejector with water from the tank
to produce a vacuum in the sterilizer chamber.
Pump P2 is a centrifugal pump. The function is to run water through the
ejector to create a vacuum for evacuating the air and steam from the
chamber.
Connected to: X20:5
Check
Activate pump P2 and MV-1. The pressure shall drop to at least -0.8 bar
after about 15 minutes. The water should circulate with an even flow in the
water tank. Measure the voltage on the incoming pin to the pump.
The pump is protected by a motor protection. in case the pump is heavy
loaded due to for instance running dry, the protection trips. The protection
is situated to the right of the pump
Action
If not starting, check the motor protection.
If leaking, or resetting motor protection does not help, replace the pump.
Verification
Activate pump P2. The water should circulate with a even flow in the water
tank. Run a leakage test program and a Textile program.
Page 36 of 80
15. Water ejector
The ejector is fitted on top of the vacuum pump P2 in a T-junction shape.
P2 circulates water through the ejector and creates a vacuum. The ejector is
connected to the chamber through the drain and MV-1. Directly in connection
to MV-1 the check valve BV-3 is mounted.
The ejector contains two ejector nozzles. NOTE: these nozzles are not identi-
cal. The smaller holes in each of the nozzles must face each other, and the
nozzle with the largest hole must be fitted in the outlet of the T piece towards
the tank.
Check
Activate pump P2 and MV-1. The pressure shall reach the maximum vacuum
level after approximately 20 minutes.
If the sterilizer performs a poor vacuum or the time for creating the vacuum
is slow and all measures have been taken (checking for leakage, checking
circulation pump), dismount the ejector and visually inspect. Slightest dirt in
the nozzle will create an uneven water spray which affects the function of the
ejector.
Action
Clean the ejector with soaped steel wool. No scratching!
Verification
Run a Textile program with load, check time for creating vacuum, check
vacuum depth.
16. Non-return valves BV-2, BV-3 and BV-4

Remove the air filter from the inlet port.
Activate the digital outputs (DO) for: pump P1, MV-2 and MV-3. Allow the
pressure to rise to approximately 1 bar according to the internal or external
pressure gauge. Check that no steam comes out of the air inlet port.
Action
If needed replace BV-2. Check that the air filter is not wet.
Verification
As Check, see above.
Page 37 of 80
BV-3 is located in the outlet of solenoid valve MV-1. Its task is to ensure
that no water enters the chamber during the vacuum phase or during the
pressure-equalization phase after post-vacuum.
Check BV-3
Activate MV-1 and pump P2. Check that no water gets into the chamber.
Action
If needed replace BV-3.
Verification
BV-4 is mounted immediately after pump P2. Its task is to prevent steam be-
ing forced backwards via pump P2 to the tank during venting in the pressure-
reduction phases.
Check BV-4
Check when the sterilizer vents in the beginning of the pre-treatment, that
no air or steam flows through the connection in the bottom of the tank.
Action
If needed replace BV-4.

secured with a solenoid door lock, see CC 25. Electromagnetic door lock.
Check
• that the door can be closed with normal force (manual door).
• that the door closes without noise (automatic door).
• that the door does not leak after changing the door gasket, alterna-
tively that the door gasket needs to be changed more often than the
stipulated 1,200 processes.
Action
• The door adjustment procedure described may only be used in ex-
ceptional cases, e.g. if the door is too stiff to lock or if there is leakage
that cannot be traced to any other part of the sterilizer.
• Before adjusting the door:
1. Check that the gasket groove and the door are undamaged and
free from deposits.
2. Replace the door gasket.
3. Check the function of the door locking link system.
4. Check chamber preheating. Calibrate if necessary, see section
Advanced Troubleshooting, calibration sensor.
5. Make the adjustments with the sterilizer heated up.
• Adjusting the door
1. Remove the covering plates on the right-hand and left-hand
sides of the door.
2. Check that the door gasket reaches the chamber simultaneusly
both at the top and at the bottom, on both the right and left-
hand sides when the edges moves the door to locked position.
3. Adjustment is made by moving the rails closer to/further from
the front of the chamber. In this way the gasket pressure is
increased/reduced when the door is locked.
4. Avoid major adjustments.
NOTE!
Door leakage
In the event of door leakage, first replace the door gasket, if that
does not solve the leakage, adjust the door.
Page 39 of 80
Adjustment
• Close the door and run the sterilizer to approximately 200 mbar vacu-
um by means of the diagnostics menu.
• Slacken the inner M20 nuts (2) and bolts (3) so that the guide (4)
comes free.
• Press the guide, using a tool midway between the nuts, to the door
rail, that the guide lies against the door.
• Tighten the outer M20 nuts (5) using hand force without a tool.
• Tighten the inner M20 nuts (2) with a tool. Beware that the tool does
not damage the rails.
• Tighten the bolts that the guide is parallel to the door.
Verification
• Run a Textile cycle, check for leakages according to above.
Page 40 of 80
• Test the door closing torque. For manual door, the door should be closed
without stressing the hand force. The torque of the door handle with new
door gasket after a 134 °C process is between 50 and 60 Nm (normal
hand force).
• Test the door closure for automatic door. The locking should take place
without noice and smooth movement of the locking wedges.
1. Reduce the pressure with the air pressure reduce valve to 3-3.5 bar.
2. Open the door.
3. Check that the door closes and gets looked without interruption on
its way to the upper position.
4. Reset the valve to 5 bar.
Noisy locking indicates too narrow adjustment.
TIP!
After adjusting the door, let the user open and close the door to ensure
that they are happy with the torque.
18. Door gasket

The door gasket is a trapezoid shaped gasket. The gasket is mounted in a
groove in the chamber. By locking the door, the door blade is mechanically
forced against the gasket and seals.
Page 41 of 80
WARNING!
!
The sterilizer must be disconnected from the power supply when the door
gasket is replaced and at all adjustments of the door. When the adjust-
ment has been completed, check that all nuts and bolts are tightened.
Incorrectly fitted parts in the door structure may pose a potentially
lethal danger.
Check
• Check that the sterilizer is seal tight during pre-treatment when the cycle
turn from vacuum to pressure, during preussure rise, sterilization and
during pressure decease.
• Seal tight means no steam blows out around the door when it is locked,
during process in steam pressure.
NOTE!
Check particularly that no steam blows out around the door when the
pressure passes 0, i.e. when the vacuum moves towards 0 and the
pressure builds up.
Action
• Remove the covers, including left-hand and right-hand side covers.
• Open the door and place the door it in its lower end position.
• Manual door: move the door stop.
• Automatic door: move the half-moon formed washers on the pistons so
the door can be slid a few centimeters further down. Then move the door
a few centimeters so that it is held in place by the the chamber bottom.
• Remove the old gasket and clean the gasket groove very carefully. Check
also that the door sheet is free from dirt and not damaged.
• Place the new gasket and orient it so that it covers the groove.
• Note that the gasket is a parallel trapezoid in cross-section. Turn the gas-
ket so that its right angles end up down in the groove.
• Start pressing down the corners, then the middle and finally the remain-
ing parts of the gasket.
• Refit in the reverse order. Do not forget to re-adjust the lower end position
of the door.
Verification
Run a Textile 134 °C program.
Check that no steam blows out around the door.

25. electromagnetic door lock (manual door)

Electromagnetic door lock (manual door). The task of the door lock is to
prevent the door from being opened during the process or if a programme
is interrupted. The door can only be opened after resetting the error code,
see User manual.
Check
• The door lock is in combination with a microswitch and a hock which
is mounted in the door. When the door is closed, the hock hits the
microswitch which keeps the lock from catching the hock. Once the
Electromagnetic
cycle is started, the lock catches the hock and it is not possible to
door lock
open the door. The door can only be opened when the sterilizer is
connected to a power source.
Action
• Interrupt a programme by pressing the Stop button. Check that the
door cannot be opened before the Reset button has been pressed.
Check that the door cannot be opened if the sterilizer is not con-
nected to a power source.

• Opening and closing the door should be done smoothly without
the door lock interferes. If the locking is not smooth and the hock is
catched even though the cycle is not started:
1. Check that the microswitch is activated when the hock hits it.
2. Check that the hock is not pointing to much upward.
If so, adjust the hock in the door by releasing its screw and lower
it slightly.
Verification

26. Absolute pressure sensor
The two absolute pressure sensors are located on the top of the sterilizer.
One monitors and controls the process and the second is for the built in
printer, see separate chapter. Both sensors connects to the left side of the
chamber.
NOTE!
Test, connection
Connect a pressure gauge for absolute pressure to the VT/PT outlet on
top of the chamber.
Check
Carried out with an independently, calibrated pressure gauge for the ABS
pressure, whose values are compared with the values shown on the display.
Range: 0-4 bar absolute pressure corresponds to 4-20 mA, output signal with
open door approximately 8 mA.
NOTE!
Calibrate the pressure sensor before calibration of the steam temper-
ature, which is calculated from the pressure. Calibration is preferably
made during the holding time, using a separately connected absolute
pressure sensor. (104 kpa: 121 oC, 203 kpa: 134 oC).
Action
With big deviation, replace the sensor and calibrate. With minor deviation,
calibrate. Calibration is carried out via the menu tree. SETTINGS, SYSTEM,
(password), CALIBRATION, MANUAL CALIBRATION. Adjust index A or B up
or down, depending on the deviation of pressure shown on display verse the
pressure of independent absolute pressure gauge.
B-parameter = Vacuum, A-parameter = Pressure.
Always adjust the B-parameter first, then A-parameter.
Verification
Run a Textile program. Compare with an independent, calibrated absolute
pressure sensor the values shown on the display and print out from the printer.
TIP!
Use the diagnostic tool CS100 / CS1000 for calibration. This will ease and
simplify the calibration procedure.

27. Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge is placed in the sterilizer front. It shows the chamber
pressure even if the power is switched off.
CAUTION!
!
Pressure gauge, function
The pressure gauge only gives an indication of the pressure and should
not be used for calibration.
Check
When the door is open the pressure should show 0 ±0.1 bar. Check that
the pointer indicates a pressure higher and lower than zero during a cycle.
Action
Calibrate the pressure gauge according to the section Pressure gauge
adjustment. If it is not possible, replace the pressure gauge.
Verification
Run a wrapped program. Compare the pressure gauge with the pressure
indication on the display.
PRESSURE GAUGE ADJUSTMENT

• Make sure the door is open.
• Open the front.
• Loosen the brass nipple at the rear of the pressure gauge and lift out
the pressure gauge.

• Try loosening the pressure gauge glass by inserting a screwdriver in
the notch at the top of the pressure gauge glass.
• Insert narrow tipped pliers under the pointer and lift it off.
• Adjust and press back the pointer in the right position.

28. Temperature sensor
TEMPERATURE SENSOR 6 (PT-100 6)
The sensor that monitors the sterilization process is a “double sensor” (i.e
two separate sensor elements in the same sensor pipe), and provides the
signal both to the controler and the printer. They act indepent from each
other. The sensor is fitted in the outlet drain and can be seen rear under
the chamber in the service area. It is connected to connector X2 on the
circuit board.
NOTE!
Liquid load
If the sterilizer features a program for the sterilization of liquids, it
can be equipped with an additional PT-100 sensor.

The sensor to the steam generator is located in the front of the steam gen-
erator and is connected to connector X2 on the circuit board. It regulates
the steam generator temperature (about 250 °C).
NOTE!
Temperature alarm
Temperature sensor 5 also has the function to cut the process if the
temperature in the steam generator during an ongoing process drop
below the pre-programmed value (about 140 °C). Alarm: “Cold
steam generator”.
Page 48 of 80
The sensor for the chamber is located on the left-hand side of the cham-
ber in the heating mat and is connected to connector X2 on the circuit
board. Its function is to regulate the chamber preheating temperature to
about 120 °C with a high pressure program and 110 °C with a low pres-
sure program.
Check the temperature sensor

Check the sensor using an ohmmeter, once the connection to the con-
trol system has been disconnected. The resistance of the sensor should
be about 110 ohm at room temperature. The higher the temperature the
higher the resistance.
Check the sensor’s connection contact with regard to loose cores or
breakage.
Check for leakage

Check for leakage from the temperature sensor lead-throughs.
Action
See the section Advanced troubleshooting, Calibration sensor tempera-
ture/pressure.
Action: Leakage
Replace the silicone seal.
Verification
This requires the sterilizer to have been turned on for at least an hour.
Insert an independently calibrated thermometer, capable of measuring
to at least 300 °C, in the measurement hole of the steam generator and
wait for the temperature reading to stabilize. The temperature shall be be-
tween 255 ±5 oC. The thermometer in the steam generator should show
the same value as shown on the display on the sterilizer. Also see the sec-
tion Steam generator.

Connect a calibrated pressure gauge for absolute pressure to the VT/PT-
outlet on top of the chamber. Run a Textile program. Compare the pres-
sure value on the display with the control pressure gauge in the steriliza-
tion phase. Check the steam temperature in the sterilization phase 135 °C
or 121 °C depending on the selected program. Check that the chamber
temperature corresponds with the steam temperature at the end of the
sterilization phase.
Verify with a leakage test that the throughput is tight if the steam sensor
has been changed.

29. water quality SENSOR
The sensor is mounted in the water flow to pump P1 and connected to
input X1 on the print board. Its task is to give an alarm if the water for
steam generation is above the set value (30 microsiemens). The sensor
is measuring at the end of each process in connection with pressure
equalization.
NOTE!
The sterilizer is automatically blocked for further cycles if the alarm
is not rectified after 20 operations (the water quality is too bad for
steam generation).
If the sterilizer is blocked due to bad water quality, the sterilizer has
to be reset by an educated service technician after changing the wa-
ter filter.
Check
Loosen the hose between the sensor and tank. Insert the hose in a con-
tainer with tap water. Run a process. When the process is finished the
alarm CHECK WATER QA should be shown on the display.
If the position of the two parallel metal legs on the sensor is changed, the
alarm limit is also changed. Check before assembly and during the annual
service that the parallel setting of the metal legs has not changed. Clean
the sensor annually.
NOTE!
The sensor should be treated with care, and not exposed to mechani-
cal stress.
Page 50 of 80
Action
• Calibration is performed with the help of a PC and a test probe for
water quality (supplied by Getinge).
• Fill a container with water with a quality of 30 microsiemens.
• Connect a hose between the steam pump and the container.
• Set the PAUSE key to 1.
• Open the door.
• Press the +button on the panel. Press "pump on".
• Run the pump for approximately 5 seconds.
• Press "pump off".
• Press "water"
• Check after a approximately 20 seconds that SV is 15 % (equal to
30 microsiemens). If not, adjust the setting on the menu SETTINGS/
CALIBRATION/ ANALOG INPUT/ WATER. A high value gives a higher
alarm level a lower value gives a lower alarm level.
NOTE!
To get the right water value when calibrating (according to VDE 0510),
use deionized water and mix with tap water until the test probe shows
the correct value, 30 microsiemens.
Verification
Run a sterilization process and use the test probe for verification. After
filter replacement, press the START button.
• If the quality of the water is OK, the process is completed.
• If the water quality is not OK, the process is interrupted after approxi-
mately 10 seconds.
TIP!
If the water quality is not sufficient, you can try pressing START again.
Repeat this procedure if necessary 5-7 times to force good water to

the sensor.

30. Water level switch / float valve
Constructed as a floater, mounted in the water reservoirs to control the
water level.
Water level switch 1
The function of the floater is to give signal to MV-8 to close when the
supply tank for steam generation water is full.
Water level switch 2
The function of the floater is to give signal to MV-8 to open when the
supply tank for steam generation water is close to empty.
Check
Check that the MV-8 valve opens and fills the tank when the floater 2
is in down position.
Check that the MV-8 valve closes when the floater 1 is in vertical posi-
tion. Check cable connections.
Check position of floater in empty tank state. Floater should hang
straight down.
Action
No adjustments can be made. Replace the water level switch if no
communication.
Float valve 3
The task of the float valve is to fill the supply tank for pump P2 with
water from the main water supply, for vacuum production. P2 circu-
lates water in the tank for vacuum production. A T-junction lets a part
of the water directly into the drain, and the float valve calls for new,
cold water to keep the level. In this way the water consumption is kept
to a minimum and the necessary cooling of the condense takes place.
Check
Check that the floater is set that the water level is just below the drain
hole in the upper part of the tank. Water should not flow in to the drain
when the sterilizer is in standby mode.
Check that the lid for the tank does not “force down” the floater.
Check that the floater does not hit the tank sides.
Action
Bend the floater bar to receive the good water level.
Release the screw that holds the floater and move the floater on the
bar to prefered position to avoid touching the tank sides.
Verification
Run a process and check in standby mode that the floaters communi-
cate to right water levels.

ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
This section concerns advanced troubleshooting. The different sub-sections
below follow on from the section Start troubleshooting. This means that all
troubleshooting starts there. However, when a sub-section is identified, you
can start by reading the sub-section Process description first.
NOTE!
Troubleshooting takes place in 2 stages:
• At overpressure
• At vacuum
Follow the method in CC, 2. Pipe/pipe couplings.
CC refers to the chapter Check component.
Leakage
1. Check for leakage from the door as set out in the section CC 17. Door,
CC 18. Door gasket
2. Check for leakage from the pressure relief valve as set out in the section
CC 11. Pressure relief valve.
3. Check for leakage from the solenoid valves as set out in the section
CC 3. Solenoid valves.
4. Check for leakage from the pipe couplings as set out in the section
CC 2. Pipe/pipe couplings.
5. Check for leakage from the temperature sensors’ throughputs as set out
in the section CC 28. Temperature sensor.
6. Check for leakage from the ejector as set out in the section CC 15. Ejector.
TIP!
Check whether steam is let out with an overpressure.
• On cold components: use soap water
• On hot components: use a mirror
automatic leakage test

If a green ”finished” lamp lights up, the sterilizer is not leaking. If a red lamp
lights up, there could be an air leakage.

Manual leakage test
(Leakage test according to EN-285)
1. Connect a separately calibrated pressure gauge to the sterilizer’s pres-
sure outlet (marked PT/VT).
2. Activate MV-1, fan and pump P2 from the diagnostics menu. The pres-
sure drops in the chamber.
3. When the pressure reaches 200 mbar (-0.8 bar), activate MV-1 and pump
P2 from the diagnostics menu.
4. Wait at least 10 minutes until the pressure has stabilized. Note the pres-
sure and start a stop watch. After 5 minutes, read the pressure again.
5. Calculate the pressure increase per minute. If the pressure increase is
greater then 1.3 mbar/minute there is a leak in the sterilizer (see EN 285,
§ 20.2.3).

board) when the process reaches the 4th pre-vacuum pulse.
5. When the vacuum has stabilized, calibrate the B-parameter for the pres-
sure transducer.
6. Check that the external absolute manometer shows the same pressure
as the pressure shown on the display of the sterilizer.
7. Press the PAUSE-button to 0 position and let the sterilizer enter the
sterilization phase.
8. Press the PAUSE-button to 1 position. Calibrate the A-parameter of
the pressure transducer. Check that the external absolute manometer
shows the same pressure as the pressure shown on the display of the
sterilizer.
9. Calibrate the sensor for the steam temperature (27) with the A-parame-
ter. Calculate the temperature from the present pressure (see saturated
steam table where 203 kPA ≈ 134 °C). Approximate correct value for
3,150 ABS is 135 °C.
10. After approximately 10 minutes sterilization time, calibrate the chamber
temperature, sensor (6). Adjust the A-parameter so that the chamber
temperature is the same as the steam temperature.
11. Press the PAUSE-button to 0 position and let the process finish. Check
that the pressure calibration is OK during vacuum in the post-treatment
phase.
12. Start a low temperature program 121 °C. Press the PAUSE-button when
the process reaches the sterilization phase.
13. Calibrate the B-parameter for the temperature sensor 5 and 6, is the
same way as on point 7 and 8 above (104 kpa ≈ 121 °C).
14. Save RAM in flash. See CC 36. PACS software.

Cleaning the steam generator
GENERAL
If the sterilizer has been running on poor deionized water, this can result in
lime deposits in the channels of the steam generator or pipes/pipe couplings
between the steam generator and the chamber. The deposits can cause
complete blockage of the system. Extensive cleaning is then required.
Check
Check first which part is clogged with lime. Scale usually forms in the first
narrowing after the steam generator, in the outlet coupling/couplings from the
steam generator and the subsequent pipes.
NOTE!
Clogged steam generator
In some cases the connecting channel in the heating element between
the two channels is also exposed to the build up of scale.
CLOGGED PIPES/CONNECTIONS
Try to clean the clogged pipes. Nipples can be drilled to clean. Use drill ac-
cording to diameter of the hole.
In case clogged pipe can not be cleaned - replace the clogged pipe section.
Page 69 of 80
CAUTION!
!
Cleaning the steam generator, the sterilizer must be cold.
WARNING!
!
Risk of hot, discharged steam during heating.
CLOGGED STEAM GENERATOR

There are two tried out and trusted methods to remove deposits and a
third more drastic method to try before changing the steam generator:
Method 1
1. Make sure the sterilizer has a new serviced deionizing system provid-
ing water according to specification.
2. Disconnect the heating element. The sterilizer including the steam
generator must be cold.
3. Remove the tray holder and anything that might be left in the chamber
(trays, holders etc).
4. Run a vacuum as deep as possible via the Diagnostics menu.
5. Close everything and pump water with the steam pump P1 for two
minutes via the Diagnostics menu to fill the steam generator with
water.
6. Stop the steam pump P1 and equalize eventually pressure in the
chamber. Open the door to see whether there is a small amount of
water in the rear of the chamber. If not, repeat the above procedure
until there is water in the chamber. This indicates that the complete
steam generator is filled with water.
7. Wipe out the water from the chamber and let the sterilizer rest for at
least 24 hours.
8. Switch on the sterilizer with the door closed and locked. Condensa-
tion will now form from the steam generator as the sterilizer heats
up and the water that was pumped into the system will condense
through the chamber out into the outlet. When the sterilizer signals
ready for start, make sure there is no overpressure before the door is
opened, and open the door.
Verification
Run a Textile program.
9. When there is no risk of getting burned, dry out the chamber with a
dry cloth, preferably with the sterilizer cooled down. Mount the tray
holder.
Page 70 of 80
WARNING!
!
The sterilizer must be cold.
Method 2
1. Fill the steam channel/steam channels with saturated citric acid solu-
tion, either
a/ Disconnect the steam generator from the sterilizer and place it on a
bench with the inlet and outlet facing upwards. Fill the steam generator,
or
b/ disconnect the pipings to the steam generator and mount two trans-
parent hoses. Make sure they are leak proof mounted. Hold the hoses
higher than the generator. Fill in one of them until acid is shown in the
other hose.
2. Let the citric acid act at room temperature for at least 24 hours.
3. Thoroughly flush out the citric acid from the channels, by connecting
ordinary tap water to the inlet or outlet on the steam generator.
4. Reconnect the steam generator
5. Switch on the sterilizer with the door closed and locked. Condensa-
tion will now form from the steam generator as the sterilizer heats up
and the water that was filled into the system will condense through the
chamber out into the outlet. When the sterilizer signals ready for start,
make sure there is no overpressure before the door is opened, and
open the door.
6. Run the Textile program ten or more times, preferably by using the ser-
vice program (activate pump P1) with the door open. The particles that
have come loose from the channels can enter the chamber, however,
this is known to stop after a period of time.
7. If the fault has not been rectified, repeat the procedure.
Method 3
As an additional method if method 1 and method 2 do not help is to drill out
the steam generator:
Loosen the nozzle on the inlet side and the nipple on the outlet side of the
steam generator.
8. Drill out the channels with at least a 300 mm long 14 mm bit, or clean the
channels with a rotating steel brush.
9. Perform any of the above methods (method 1 or method 2).
If the actions mentioned above do not help, the steam generator must be
replaced.
