1. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The maintenance operations and periodical efficiency checks indicated in this chapter have been defined
after carefully examining the average conditions of operation and use of the sterilizer. In the event of
significantly different requirements, please contact the manufacturer in good time. This chapter describes the
preventive and corrective maintenance procedures applying to the sterilizer; with regard to the sterilizer’s
individual components, please refer to the specific maintenance instructions sheets and to the relative
maintenance plan attached to this section of the manual. It should be recalled that possible periods of
inactivity must also be taken into account in relation to the length of time concerned.
Short periods of inactivity
There are no particular issues regarding periods of inactivity of less than two months.
Long periods of inactivity
For periods of over two months, in order to prevent sticking or early deterioration of the gaskets, treat them
with silicone oil. Following particularly extended sterilizer downtimes, it may be necessary to replace the
gaskets and the seals.
; CAUTION
A correct and accurate maintenance allows to prevent most of the anomalies and to preserve
over time the performance of the sterilizer in addition to facilitate its longer durability.
! WARNING
Before performing any maintenance operation on the sterilizer, unless otherwise specified,
ALWAYS shut it down, disengaging the main switch and disconnecting the sterilizer from the
mains electric power supply and from any other power sources.
! WARNING
The sterilizer has to be subjected to a preventive maintenance program, realized by qualified

personnel. FEDEGARI suggests to perform this maintenance program at least once in a year.
Anyway, the maintenance frequency has to be dimensioned according to several specific
factors such as:
- High number of cycles performed
- Quality of process fluids
- Characteristics of the treated product
- Installation environment
This above mentioned factors can generate the need to increase the frequency of the
maintenance program. Authorized dealers, service centers and technicians perform the
maintenance program following check-list developed according the prescriptions of the
present manual.

1.5. ANALOG SIGNALS CALIBRATION
The purpose of this paragraph is to describe the operating procedures for correctly performing the calibration
of analogical signals. In our view, it is advisable for users to have their own internal operating procedures,
and this document can be useful when drafting or reviewing such procedures.
1.5.1. SELECTION OF THE INSTRUMENTS TO BE USED
One key aspect of the sterilization process is the level of accuracy with which the sterilizer is able to control
the temperature. As a part of this control, the ability to read process variables (temperature and pressure)
accurately is obviously particularly important. In order to better qualify the sterilizers that it manufactures,
FEDEGARI has always devoted particular attention to the choice of all the components of measurement
chains (and in particular of sensors).
Analog signal measurement chains generate errors anyway and therefore are subject to being inaccurate
(i.e., to having accuracy limits); systematic errors, however, can be corrected by implementing suitable
procedures for adjusting the signal or the reading. The process controllers more recently installed on
FEDEGARI sterilizers are equipped with suitable software operations that allow to correct the reading
without acting on hardware components (such as trimmers).
Clearly, in order to maintain the accuracy characteristics that distinguish FEDEGARI sterilizers, it is
necessary to perform periodically (typically once a year or once every six months) a regulation and
calibration (i.e. a partial correction and certification of errors).
Correct regulation and calibration of analog signals require suitable procedures and instruments and in
particular reference instruments that are periodically certified with reference to first-line national standards.
The precision (or more exactly accuracy) characteristics of the instruments used for regulation and
calibration are also crucially important in maintaining the levels of accuracy that FEDEGARI sterilizers are
required to have.
For years, FEDEGARI has had procedures and instruments suitable to maintain the accuracy of the control
of the sterilization process within the limits of ±0.5°C (i.e., as required by the FDA for the sterilization of LVP),
even when applying the strict 1:4 Uncertainty Ratio (the ratio appropriate according to Brunner). It is
therefore evident that in order to maintain the required accuracy, the individuals who perform periodic
regulation and calibration services on sterilizers manufactured by FEDEGARI too should be equipped with
instruments and procedures capable of ensuring the same performance. Based on these criteria, the
following is deemed adequate:
1) For temperature measurements:
Reference instruments (sensor + reader) with an accuracy equal to or higher than:
±0.5°C / 4 / 4 ≅ ±0.03°C
with certification renewed annually by an EA-accredited laboratory (SIT or equivalent body) in the range from
0 to 250°C and with a typical measurement uncertainty of ±0.03°C or higher.
Thermostatic baths and methods suitable to maintain the probes in an environment with temperature
uniformity equal to ±0.05°C with good stability at set point (indicatively, ±0.005°C per hour).

FOB4/TS
TECHNICAL MANUAL
2) For pressure measurements:

Reference instruments (sensor + reader) for reading absolute pressure values, with accuracy equal to or
higher than:
±0,002 bar
with certification renewed annually by an EA-accredited laboratory (ACCREDIA or equivalent body) in the
range from 0.1 to 7 bar, with rising and falling calibration, with a maximum uncertainty of measurements of
±0.001 bar or higher. Calibration of the reference instrument at the following points is recommended: 0.1,
0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 5.0, 7.0 bar.
1.5.2. PERIODIC CALIBRATION OF THE MEASUREMENT CHAINS
Preliminary operations
After selecting the reference instruments based on the criteria described in chapter 1 of the present
document and on the operative limits of the sterilizer, the person in charge of the calibration shall verify the
following:
• the reference instrument shall be able to operate (operative range) at values > than the defined HIGH
POINT and at values < than the defined LOW POINT,
• the reference instrument shall be calibrated (we recommend to define the frequency of calibration based
on the frequency of use, to perform the calibration no later than one year after the last calibration and
always to ask the laboratory for the "as found" certification besides the calibration certificate).
Operative modes – temperature
The person in charge of the calibration shall define the measurement points to be used as reference. We
suggest the following values:
• LOW POINT suggested equal to 100°C,
• MEDIUM POINT suggested equal to 121 °C
• HIGH POINT suggested equal to 150°C.
After positioning the reference probe (Intelligent probe IRTD) and the probe belonging to the measurement
chain to calibrate inside a thermostatic bath (dry well – portable temperature reference), the person in charge
shall verify the signal stability, positively evaluating variations not higher then 0.2°C in three minutes. The
temperature values measured by the reference instrument shall be indicated in the specific box contained in
the process controller section dedicated to calibration (see subsequent paragraphs). The comparison
between the values read by the measurement chain and the values indicated by the reading of the reference
instrument allow the process controller to take these variations into account in the operative management of
the sterilizer. The End-User has to define in its calibration procedures the acceptance criteria to be applied in
the evaluation of the difference between a value read by the measurement chain and a value that can be
referred to a reference instrument (whose characteristics are specified in the present document).
In case these acceptance criteria are not satisfied, one item of the measurement chain shall be replaced and
the calibration activities shall be repeated starting from the modalities described in chapter 3 of the present
document.
The calibration of temperature PT100 probes has to be done by following this steps:

order to access CALIBRATIONS page.
LOW POINT CALIBRATION
For every PT100 probe, insert in the field “L” the value read by the
analogue input and in the field “C” the calibrated reference value of the
LOW point (suggested 100.0 °C).
MEDIUM POINT CALIBRATION
MEDIUM point (suggested 121.0 °C).
HIGH POINT CALIBRATION
HIGH point (suggested 150.0 °C).
Suggested acceptance criteria – temperature
Deviation accepted after calibration:

− ±0.1°C at the calibration low point;
− ±0.1°C at the calibration medium point;
− ±0.1°C at the calibration high point;
Operative modes – pressure
The person in charge of calibration shall define the measurement points to be used as reference. We
suggest the following values:
• LOW POINT, the best vacuum value obtainable – for instance about 0.060 bar (if KX20 Vacuum pump is
present) - or equal to atmospheric pressure;
• MEDIUM POINT, an average pressure value correspondent to 2.100 bar.
• HIGH POINT, less then 0,2 bar with respect to the set point of the installed safety valve - for instance
4.800 for standard autoclaves and 5.200 for HT autoclaves.
In order to reduce the thermal shift typical of the pressure transducers, before performing the calibration the
instrument installed on the autoclave shall be evenly heated performing at least one sterilization cycle. At the
end of this adjustment phase it will be possible to connect the pressure calibrator to the autoclave by means
of the specific flange. Chamber pressurization shall be performed using air as working fluid in order not to

TECHNICAL MANUAL
damage the reference instrument; to obtain the maximum vacuum value it will be necessary to regulate the
specific activations manually. At this point, the person in charge shall verify the stability of the signal,
positively evaluating variations not higher than 5 mbar in one minute. The pressure values measured by the
reference instrument shall be indicated in the specific box contained in the process controller section
dedicated to calibration (see subsequent paragraphs). The comparison between the values read by the
measurement chain and the values from the reading of the reference instrument allow the process controller
to take these variations into account in the operative management of the sterilizer.
The End-User has to define in its calibration procedures the acceptance criteria to be applied in the
evaluation of the difference between a value read by the measurement chain and a value that can be
referred to a reference instrument (whose characteristics are specified in this section). In case these
acceptance criteria are not satisfied, one item of the measurement chain shall be replaced and the
calibration activities shall be repeated. Regarding the pressure calibration page, it is there possible to
activate the related inputs in order to depressurize and pressurize the chamber and set the three point
calibrations.
Press the icon dedicated to the page of pressure transducer calibration.
LOW POINT CALIBRATION (KX20=0)

TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.5.3. INSTALLATION OF NEW SENSORS
The contents of this paragraph can be applied when new sensors installed on the sterilizer are to be
calibrated in order to substitute those provided by the manufacturer. For this purpose, FEDEGARI
recommends the use of original spare parts, in particular the PT100 probes and the pressure transducers.
The technical manual provided with the sterilizer explains how to order the spare parts correctly. Before
starting the calibration of the entire measurement chain, a preliminary check of the new sensor shall be
performed in order to evaluate its compliance. The activities are the same as those reported in the present
document, with the difference that, if the following acceptance criteria are not satisfied, no value will be
indicated in the process controller as the sensor undergoing verification shall be rejected because it is not
considered sufficiently accurate. The acceptance criteria for temperature relevant to the preliminary check of
a new sensor before to perform the calibration are:
− ±0.7°C at the calibration at low, medium and high point
The acceptance criteria for pressure relevant to the preliminary check of a new sensor before to perform the
calibration are:
− ±0.025 bar at the calibration low, medium and high point

follows.
2.2 Aprire la porta dello sterilizzatore.
Open the door of the sterilizer.
2.3 Verificare che non siano presenti fenomeni di incollaggio della guarnizione (dovuti ad
esempio ad uso improprio di agenti chimici impiegati per la pulizia dello sterilizzatore).
Check that the gasket is nor broken does not stick (for example owing to improper use of
chemicals to clean the sterilizer).
2.4 Verificare che sulla guarnizione no siano presenti rotture o screpolature (specialmente
nella zona degli spigoli).
Check that the gasket is not broken or cracked (especially in the corners area).
2.5 Verificare che nella massa della guarnizione non siano penetrate particelle metalliche o di
altro materiale (vetro, ecc…).
Check that metal or other materials particles (glass, etc…) have not penetrated into the the body
of the gasket.
2.6 In questi casi è necessaria la sostituzione della guarnizione.
In these cases it is necessary to replace the gasket.

3.4 Estrarre completamente la guarnizione dalla sua sede (Fig. 3).
Extract completely the gasket from its slot (Fig. 3).
Figura 3 – Estrazione guarnizione

Figure 3 – Gasket extraction
3.5 Pulire accuratamente la sede della guarnizione impiegando una spugna naturale imbevuta
leggermente in acqua pulita. Asciugare le superfici impiegando stracci di cotone puliti e
senza sfilacci o un panno non abrasivo umido.
Clean carefully the gasket slot by means of a natural sponge slightly soaked in clean water. Dry
the surfaces by means of a clean cotton rag or a non-abrasive moist cloth.
3.6 Prima di installare la nuova guarnizione, lubrificarla con spray al silicone per facilitarne il
montaggio.
Before installing the new gasket, lubricate it with silicone spray to make the assembling easier.
3.7 Posizionare la nuova guarnizione avendo cura di rispettare i riferimenti degli angoli.
Position the new gasket taking care to respect the corner reference.
3.8 Inserire la nuova guarnizione nella sede, partendo dalla parte superiore, infilando prima il
bordo esterno direttamente con le mani senza utensile (Fig. 4).
Insert the new gasket into the slot, starting from the top part, by driving in the outer edge first
using your hands without tools (Fig. 4).
Figura 4 - Inserimento manuale guarnizione

Figure 4 - Gasket manual insertion
3.9 Terminato l’inserimento di un lato della guarnizione, utilizzando l’apposito attrezzo

cuneiforme si introduce il bordo interno fino al completo alloggiamento della guarnizione
(Fig. 5).
After one gasket side has been inserted using the proper wedge-shaped tool, the inner edge is
drived-in until the gasket is fully accommodated in its slot (Fig. 5).
Figura 5 - Inserimento guarnizione tramite utensile

Figure 5 - Gasket inserted with tool
3.10 Per effettuare correttamente le operazioni indicate ai punti 3.8 e 3.9, si consiglia di non
intervenire contemporaneamente su tutto lo sviluppo della guarnizione,ma di effettuare
l’introduzione partendo dalla parte superiore ed agendo su tratti distanziati 15-20 cm fino
a completo bloccaggio.
To carry out rightly the operation shown at point 3.8 and 3.9, we recommend not to operate at
the same time on the entire extension of the gasket, but drive--in it starting from the top part and
act on sections spaced by 15--20 cm until complete locking is achieved.

OPERAZIONI PRELIMINARI
1. DESCRIZIONE FUNZIONAMENTO
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Installato con asse verticale sul corpo dell’apparecchio, il dispositivo (fig. 1) permette l’inizio della
manovra di apertura della porta solo se la differenza tra la pressione all’interno della camera
e la pressione atmosferica è inferiore a 0.05 bar.
Installed in vertical axis, this device (fig. 1) allows the opening manoeuvre only if the difference
between the pressure inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure does not exceed 0.05 bar.
Se la differenza tra la pressione all’interno della camera e la pressione atmosferica è superiore a
0.05 bar, il pistone si porta in vicinanza del microinterruttore, che attivato, interrompe
l’alimentazione elettrica del sistema di apertura della o delle porte.
If the difference between the pressure inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure exceeds
0.05 bar, the piston moves closer to the micro switch. If activated, this microswitch interrupts the
electrical power supply of the door opening system.
Per effetto della forza di gravità il pistone discende quando la differenza tra la pressione all’interno
della camera e la pressione atmosferica è inferiore a 0.05 bar; allontanandosi dal
microinterruttore, il pistone provoca il disinserimento, permettendo il ritorno
dell’alimentazione elettrica al sistema di apertura della porta.
By gravity, the piston lowers when the difference between the pressure inside the chamber and the
atmospheric pressure does not exceed 0.05 bar; by moving away from the micro switch, the piston
disengages the switch, allowing the door opening system to be supplied with electric power again.

3. REVISIONE COMPLETA DEL DISPOSITIVO

DEVICE COMPLETE OVERHAUL
Le seguenti verifiche e manutenzioni devono essere eseguite a sterilizzatore

spento.
Carry out the following checks and maintenance while the sterilizer is switched off.
Assicurarsi che l’alimentazione elettrica e le altre utenze siano interrotte.
Check that the electric power supply and the other services are disconnected.
Svitare le viti (1) del supporto microinterruttore: a questo punto il dispositivo può essere
integralmente smontato (fig. 2).
Remove the screws (1) of the microswitch support: the device can be fully disassembled (fig. (fig. 2).
Verificare lo stato fisico della membrana (2): sarà necessaria la sostituzione in presenza di forti
incisioni o di elevata rigidezza dovuta ad invecchiamento (fig. 2). In caso di sostituzione della
membrana utilizzare il codice PP600240.
Check the physical condition of the membrane (2); a replacement will be necessary in case of
conspicuous cuts, or rigidity due to aging (fig. 2). In case of membrane replacement, use the spare
part code PP600240.
Verificare che l’alberino (3) non abbia incisioni sulla sua superficie tali da ostacolarne lo
scorrimento assiale (fig. 2).
Check the shaft (3) is not scored on its surface to the point of hindering its axial sliding (fig. 2).
Verificare l’efficienza del microinterruttore (4) controllandone il funzionamento con il tester e
verificando che i fissaggi dei cavi elettrici ai rispettivi morsetti siano puliti o non presentino
tracce di corrosione (fig. 2).
Check that the microswitch (4) is working properly using a tester and check that the couplings of the
electrical cables to the respective terminals are clean and unaffected by traces of corrosion (fig. 2).
Pulire tutte le parti smontate e verificare l’assenza di rotture o danneggiamenti sulle parti
costituenti l’assieme. Se durante le verifiche si notano imperfezioni o usure dei particolari
interessati, questi andranno immediatamente sostituiti.
Clean all the disassembled parts and check for breakage of damage of the parts forming the
assembly. In case of imperfections or wear, replace the affected parts immediately.
Dopo aver effettuato la revisione e le eventuali sostituzioni e aver rimontato a perfetta regola
d’arte tutte le parti componenti, occorre effettuare con cura la verifica di efficienza del
dispositivo indicata al procedimento “2”.
After overhauling and replacing as necessary, and after reassembling all the components to the best
standards of workmanship, test carefully the correct operation of the device as described in section
“2”.
Figure 2
4. VERIFICA SOGLIA DI INTERVENTO

INTERVENTION LIMIT CHECK:
Verificare l’efficienza dell’intervento del dispositivo controllando che permetta l’inizio della
manovra di apertura alla condizione che la differenza fra pressione all’interno della camera e
la pressione atmosferica sia inferiore a 0.05 bar.
Verify the efficiency of the device intervention checking it allows the opening manoeuvre only if the
difference between the pressure inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure does not exceed
0.05 bar.
Per la verifica si utilizza il vapore e sarà necessario istallare, in comunicazione con la camera
interna, un manometro con scala sufficientemente valida per apprezzare lo 0.01 bar e con
fondo scala non superiore a 0.5 bar.
This check is carried out by using steam. It is necessary to install a pressure gauge connected to the
internal chamber. The scale of the pressure gauge has to be able to read 0.01 bar and the top of the
scale has not to be higher than 0.5 bar.
Nella camera interna, con coperchio perfettamente chiuso, occorre immettere il fluido fino a
raggiungere una pressione di circa 0.2-0.5 bar. Il fluido deve poi essere scaricato lentamente,
aprendo il rubinetto frontale (fig. 3).
Introduce the fluid in the internal chamber, keeping the cover perfectly closed, until a pressure of
approximately 0.2-0.5 bar is reached. Discharge the fluid slowly, opening the frontal cock (fig. 3).
Durante la fase di scarico, l’operatore dovrà continuamente tenere sotto controllo l’ingresso
digitale n° 1 e la pressione indicata sul manometro. Nell’istante in cui l’ingresso digitale passa
dallo stato 1 allo stato 0, se il dispositivo è efficiente, la pressione letta non deve essere
superiore a 0.05 bar.
During the unloading phase, the operator will check continuously the n° 1 digital input and the value
on the pressure gauge. When the digital input state varies from 1 to 0, the pressure displayed has not
to be higher than 0.05 bar. This condition is satisfied when the device works correctly.
Qualora il valore letto durante il passaggio di stato risulti inferiore a quello ammesso, la taratura
rientra nei parametri di sicurezza. Se la commutazione avviene ad una variazione di pressione
superiore a 0.05 bar, una volta riportata la pressione della macchina a zero, sarà necessario
smontare e revisionare il dispositivo agendo come al punto 4.
If during the variation of the digital input state the readout is lower than the allowed value, the valve is
calibrated correctly and satisfies the safety measures. When the level commutation varies over the
allowed pressure value 0.05 bar, it will be necessary (when the pressure has reached zero) to
disassemble and overhaul the device, proceeding as described in subsection 4.

2. PULIZIA CAMERA GENERATORE DI VAPORE

STEAM GENERATOR CHAMBER CLEANING
• Svuotare il generatore di vapore aprendo il rubinetto di scarico (fig. 1).
Empty the steam generator opening the drain manual valve (fig.1).
• Togliere il morsetto di fissaggio che unisce la condotta del vapore al generatore, l’anello di
centraggio e l’O-ring (fig. 2).
Remove the fixing clamp connecting the steam pipe to the generator , the centering ring and the O-
ring (fig.2).
• Procedere al lavaggio utilizzando soluzione disincrostante o acido acetico diluito (fig. 3).
Wash the steam generator with a descaling solution or by diluted acetic acid (fig. 3).
• Rimontare l’anello di centraggio, l’O-ring e il morsetto di fissaggio.
Reassemble the centering ring, the O-ring and the fixing clamp.
• Ad istallazione ultimata chiudere il rubinetto di scarico e riempire il generatore di vapore con
acqua deionizzata.
After the installation, close the drain cock and fill the steam generator with deionized water.
Fig. 1
Fig. 3 Fig. 2
NOTA
NOTE
L’acqua deionizzata deve avere caratteristiche ben precise.
Ad esempio una minore conducibilità consente di minimizzare le operazioni di pulizia
del generatore di vapore dalle incrostazioni calcaree.
Pertanto si consiglia di utilizzare acque aventi le seguenti caratteristiche.
- PH: 6÷7.5
- TOC: <500 ppt
- CLORURI: max 30 ppm
- Conducibilità raccomandata: da 1 a 30 µS/cm ( suggeriti 15 µS/cm) , a 25° è ammessa
una conducibilità fino a 30 µS/cm, però la pulizia del generatore di vapore deve essere
eseguita ogni anno.
The deionized water has to have precise characteristics as for example a lower conductivity
that reduces the cleaning operations of the steam generator from calcareous scales.
We recommend to use water with the following characteristics:
- PH: 6÷7.5
- TOC: <500 ppt
- CHLORIDE: max 30 ppm
- Recommended conductivity: 1 ÷ 30 µS/cm ( suggested 15 µS/cm ) at 25°C - TOC< 500 ppb –
pH: 6.0 ÷ 7.5 – Chlorides max 30 ppm, with yearly steam generator inspection.
ll seguente controllo e relativa manutenzione devono essere eseguiti a sterilizzatore

spento.
The following checks and maintenance have to be carried out while the sterilizer is switched
off.
Check that the electric power supply and the other utilities are disconnected.
3. CONTROLLO E PULIZIA TERMOSTATO

THERMOSTAT CHECKING AND CLEANING
• Sfilare il bulbo del termostato dal generatore di vapore (fig. 4); verificare l’assenza di
incrostazioni e se necessario pulirlo impiegando una soluzione disincrostante o acido acetico
diluito.
Unthread the thermostat bulb from the steam generator (fig. 4) and check it is not scaled; if
necessary, clean it with a descaling solution or diluted acetic acid.
Fig. 4
• Mettere in funzione lo sterilizzatore e verificare che immergendo il bulbo del termostato di

sicurezza in un bagno termostatico a 169°C, il teleruttore di pilotaggio delle resistenze del
generatore di vapore intervenga disattivandone l’alimentazione.
Switch on the sterilizer and check that plunging the safety thermostat bulb in a 169°c temperature
bath, the main switch of the steam generator heating elements operates deactivating the power
supply.
• Sfilare il bulbo dal bagno termostatico, attendere che si raffreddi e rimontarlo sul corpo del
generatore di vapore.
Unthread the bulb from the temperature bath. When it cools, reassemble it on the steam generator’s
body.
• Ripristinare il termometro premendo con l’aiuto di un cacciavite il pulsante di ripristino
interno accessibile dall’apposita feritoia.
Reset the thermometer pressing with a screwdriver the internal button accessible from the proper
loophole.
4. SOSTITUZIONE TERMOSTATO (CODICE RICAMBIO CD220008)

THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT (SPARE PART CODE CD220008)
• Scollegare elettricamente iI termostato e rimuoverlo dallo sterilizzatore.
Disconnect the thermostat and remove it from the sterilizer.
• Montare un nuovo termostato e riposizionare il relativo bulbo.
Install a new thermostat and reset its bulb.
NOTA
NOTE
Lo sterilizzatore si blocca quando l’acqua nel generatore di vapore giunge al livello
minimo. A causa delle inerzie termiche dei componenti, l’acqua residua continua però a
riscaldarsi e ad evaporare surriscaldando il generatore di vapore; ciò fa intervenire il
termostato che manda in blocco lo sterilizzatore. Per riprendere le normali attività dello
sterilizzatore, sarà necessario riportare a livello l’acqua nel generatore di vapore e poi
ripristinare il termostato come descritto sopra.
The sterilizer stops working when the water arrives at a minimum level in the steam generator.
Because of the thermal inertia the residual water goes on evaporating, overheating the steam
generator causing the block of the machine. To restore the activities of the sterilizer, bring back
to level the water in the steam generator.

ATTENZIONE!
WARNING!
Si sconsiglia di effettuare frequenti verifiche di apertura della valvola per controllare lo
stato di taratura. Le valvole di sicurezza installate sono prodotte da fornitori qualificati e
quindi corredate da un certificato di taratura conforme alle normative vigenti applicabili.
We do not recommend performing frequent opening checks on the valve to check its
calibration. The safety valves installed are supplied by qualified manufacturers and are
provided with calibration certificates in accordance with the regulations currently in force.
FEDEGARI consiglia di procedere alla revisione o alla sostituzione di tali dispositivi
ogni tre anni indipendentemente dalla frequenza di utilizzo e dalle condizioni di
esercizio. Ogni nuova fornitura di valvole di sicurezza di ricambio, viene corredata da un
nuovo certificato di taratura emesso dal fabbricante.
FEDEGARI recommends that you replace these devices every three years regardless of their
frequency of use and operating conditions. Each consignment of new safety valves for
replacement purposes is accompanied by a new calibration certificate issued by the
manufacturer.
La manomissione delle valvole di sicurezza può causare gravi danni sia
all’apparecchiatura sia all’operatore. FEDEGARI declina ogni responsabilità derivante
da manomissione o incuria dei sistemi di sicurezza.
Tampering with the safety valves can cause serious damage to the equipment and injury to the
operator. FEDEGARI rejects all liability arising out of tampering or carelessness with the safety
systems.
Qualora vengano trattati materiali potenzialmente pericolosi per l’ambiente e/o per
l’uomo, si raccomanda di convogliare tutti i fluidi di scarico dello sterilizzatore in modo
opportuno. FEDEGARI declina ogni responsabilità derivante da un non corretto
convogliamento di suddetti fluidi
When processing materials potentially dangerous to the environment and/or to human beings,
we advise you to collect and dispose of all discharged fluid from the sterilizer in a correct and
appropriate manner. FEDEGARI rejects all liability consequent to incorrect disposal of the said
fluids.
ATTENZIONE!
WARNING!
In caso lo sterilizzatore operi ad altitudini dove la pressione ambientale risulti
sensibilmente diversa da 1 bar g, si richiede che tale informazione venga trasmessa a
FEDEGARI in sede di richiesta di una valvola di ricambio.
If the sterilizer is to be used at altitudes where the environmental pressure differs significantly
from 1 bar, we request you to inform FEDEGARI of this fact when requesting a replacement
valve.
1. VERIFICA EFFICENZA SFOGO

CORRECT VENTING CHECKING
• Allentare la ghiera dell’otturatore mentre lo sterilizzatore è ad un valore di pressione inferiore
rispetto a quello massimo di esercizio.
Loosen the upper ring of the shutter while the sterilizer pressure is lower than the maximum operating
value.
• Questa prova è necessaria per controllare che tra otturatore e sede della valvola non ci siano
incollamenti o impedimenti che ne impediscono l’apertura.
This test is necessary to check there is no jamming or obstacles between the shutter and the valve
seat that could hinder opening.
2. VERIFICA TARATURA E CAPACITÀ DI SFOGO

CALIBRATION AND VENTING CAPACITY CHECKING
• Elevare la pressione all’interno del recipiente (camera o generatore di vapore) fino alla
pressione massima ammissibile e controllare il momento in cui la valvola comincia ad aprirsi.
Verificare che la sovra pressione (o il valore di pressione) alla quale la valvola è
completamente aperta non superi del 10% il valore della pressione massima ammissibile.
Raise the pressure inside the vessel (chamber or steam generator) to the maximum allowable
pressure value and then check at which point the valve begins to open.
Check that the overpressure (or the pressure) at which the valve is fully open is not more than 10%
above the maximum allowable pressure value.
• Durante questa prova si deve controllare che la pressione all’interno della camera e del
generatore, con aperte le valvole d’immissione fluido e le valvole di sicurezza completamente
aperte, non aumenti oltre il valore della pressione massima ammissibile.
During this test it is also necessary to check that the pressure inside the chamber and the generator,
while the safety valves fully open, does not increase beyond the maximum allowable pressure value.
• Lo sterilizzatore è equipaggiato con valvole di sicurezza calibrate dal fabbricante e controllate
da FEDEGARI ad una pressione ambiente di 1 bar.
Nel caso lo sterilizzatore venga istallato in località con pressione ambiente diversa da 1 bar (±
10%), FEDEGARI raccomanda che il personale qualificato e/o i tecnici autorizzati per
l’istallazione ricalibrino le valvole in relazione alla nuova pressione ambientale prima della
messa in servizio. Questo accorgimento garantisce sicurezza e corrette condizioni di utilizzo.
The sterilizer has been equipped with safety relief valves calibrated by manufacturer and controlled
by FEDEGARI in its workshop at a room pressure equal to 1 bar.
If the sterilizer should work at an external pressure different from 1 bar (± 10%), FEDEGARI
recommends that qualified personnel and/or engineers authorized to install it recalibrate valves
according to new room pressure before starting to work. This device assures safety and correct
operating conditions.
3. SOSTITUZIONE DELLA VALVOLA DI SICUREZZA

2. DESCRIZIONE FUNZIONAMENTO
OPERATING DESCRITPTION
2.1 La movimentazione della porta di accesso alla camera di sterilizzazione avviene tramite
scorrimento verticale dal basso verso l’alto per eseguire l’operazione di chiusura e in senso
opposto per la relativa apertura.
The movement of the access door to the sterilization chamber takes place by means of vertical sliding
from bottom to top to close and from top to bottom to open.
2.2 La movimentazione in chiusura è garantita da due molle a pistone a gas (azoto) che,
opportunamente vincolate tramite apposito telaio alla porta, ne permettono la traslazione
verticale con un movimento dolce e progressivo.
Le molle a pistone a gas (azoto) e le relative zavorre di taratura della movimentazione vengono
opportunamente dimensionate in fabbrica in funzione del peso e della misura della porta da
movimentare e non necessitano di alcuna manutenzione. Eventuali lievi variazioni della
velocità di traslazione della porta in fase di chiusura sono da considerarsi normali e possono
dipendere da variazioni significative delle condizioni ambientali e/o di frequenza di utilizzo
dello sterilizzatore.
The closing movement is guaranteed by two (nitrogen) gas piston springs which, attached to the door
frame, permit a smooth, progressive vertical movement. The (nitrogen) gas piston springs and related
movement regulation ballasts are carefully dimensioned in the factory according to the weight and size
of the door and do not require any maintenance. Any slight door movement speed variations during
closing are considered to be normal and can depend on significant changes in environmental
conditions and/or the frequency of use of the sterilizer.
2.3 La movimentazione in apertura viene realizzata tramite un pistone pneumatico e relativa
elettrovalvola comandata dall’elettronica di bordo dello sterilizzatore. L’immissione di aria nel
pistone pneumatico ad una pressione di almeno 6 bar garantisce il rientro dello stelo del
pistone a cui risulta vincolata, tramite apposito tirante in acciaio e relative pulegge, la parte
inferiore della porta. Il rientro dello stelo del pistone vincendo la forza delle due molle a pistone
a gas garantisce l’apertura della porta.
The opening movement is carried out by a pneumatic piston and related solenoid valve controlled
electronically from the sterilizer. Input of air at a pressure of at least 6 bar guarantees the return of the
piston stem by means of a special steel tie rod and pulley attached to the lower part of the door. The
return of the piston stem, overcoming the force of the two gas piston springs, guarantees the opening
of the door.
La forza necessaria per contrastare l’azione delle molle è sempre tale da non
provocare danni a persone o cose.
The force necessary to contrast the action of the springs never causes damage to persons or
objects.
2.4 La corretta posizione della porta viene verificata tramite due rilevatori di posizione: uno
meccanico, posizionato sulla parte superiore esterna della camera di sterilizzazione per
determinare la condizione di porta chiusa, e uno elettromagnetico, posizionato sulla parte alta
del pistone pneumatico per determinare la posizione di completo rientro dello stelo, e di
conseguenza di completa apertura della porta stessa.
The correct position of the door is checked by two position detectors, one mechanical, located in the
upper, outside part of the sterilization chamber to determine door closing, and one electromagnetic,
located on the upper part of the pneumatic piston to determine the complete stem return with
consequent complete opening of door.
Tutti i componenti del sistema di movimentazione della porta sono opportunamente

protetti e carterizzati.
All components of the door movement system are suitably protected and equipped with
crankcases.
