 Either door may be opened during Setup.
 Either door may be opened during Cycle End.
 This implies that the unit can be used as a single door sterilizer from
either side, but only allowing one door to be opened at a time.
BIOSEAL 1:
 However, if the control side door is opened, a cycle must be run before
the remote side door can be opened.
 If the cycle is Aborted, only the control side door can be opened.
BIOSEAL 2:
 However, if the remote side door is opened, a cycle must be run before
the control side door can be opened.
 If the cycle is Aborted, only the remote side door can be opened.
S/D:
 This is for air gasket type doors only.
 Both doors seal/lock and unseal/unlock as part of the process
cycle(like a single door).
 Functions like a Passthru unit after the doors are unsealed/unlocked.
 The system type can be set to Hi-Vacuum or Pulse-Vacuum in the SYSTEM

TYPE screen. The difference is depth of vacuum achieved in Air Flush. The
Hi-Vacuum maximum level is 29” and the Pulse-Vacuum maximum level is
22”.
 The LOAD PROBE option can be turned on if the hardware option is installed
in the control. This must be turned off if the hardware is not installed in the
control. See Section 9.0 Cycle Descriptions for details of this option.
 If the Load Probe option is turned on, the Fo option can be turned on and off in
the Fo OPTION screen. With the Fo option on, the Fo accumulation will
control the Sterilize phase time. See Section 9.0 Cycle Descriptions for
details.
 The PROPORTIONAL CONTROL option can turned on if the hardware

option is installed in the control. The proportional control is an analog output
to control a proportional control valve.

8.0 Sterilizer Operation:
1. Prior to operating the autoclave always ensure that the chamber drain strainer(s) are clean and
that the floor of the chamber is free of debris. If debris is present please clean autoclave floor
prior to removing the drain strainer(s). If debris enters the drains or blocks the strainers the drain
valves or piping may become blocked. This will inhibit proper operation of the unit and may
cause the autoclave chamber to fill with scalding water.
2. Turn the Device Power switch on. This is the black switch located on the Control Panel of
the control column. The red “POWER” LED Indicator will illuminate.
3. Select a cycle. To select a preprogrammed cycle push the “CYCLE SELECT” button on the
Control Panel keypad until the correct cycle name is displayed on the LCD screen. To modify an
existing cycle or to program a new cycle please refer to Section 6.4, Program Mode. Once a
cycle is selected and the Program keyswitch is in the run position and the system is in RUN
mode, the jacket steam inlet valve will energize and the autoclave will heat to the preset jacket
temperature.
4. To verify set points, push the “SET POINT DISPLAY” button. The printer will print the
cycle parameters or display on the bottom of the LCD screen if Cycle Print is set to Save.
5. Load the autoclave according to customer SOP’s.
6. Close the selected load side door by depressing the “DOOR CLOSE” button located Control
Panel keypad. The door will automatically close by the use of an air piston mounted in the door
counter weights and the door latch will engage to hold it in place. The door close button must be
held-in until the door is completely closed. If the “DOOR CLOSE” button is released before the
door is completely closed, the door will automatically lower. The door closing procedure is
designed so that the operator must remain at the unit until the door is completely closed. This is
a safety protocol to ensure that no product or personnel is inadvertently caught in the pathway of
the automatically closing door and forced into or against the autoclave.
7. After the door is closed and the jacket has heated to within 3.0 degrees of the jacket preset
temperature, ”CYCLE START” will flash on the LCD screen. To start the machine, the
operator presses the “CYCLE START” button. The door gasket will automatically seal and the
autoclave will run the cycle according to the preset parameters. If “CYCLE START” is not
flashing, check that the Device Power switch is on, the door is fully closed, the chamber pressure
is at 0.0P, and the jacket temperature is within three (3) degrees of the preset temperature.
8. When the cycle is complete, the buzzer will sound and the LCD screen will read CYCLE
END. To silence the alarm press the “SILENCE ALARM” button. If the “SILENCE ALARM”
button is not depressed within two minutes the alarm will automatically silence.
9. At the end of a completed cycle, the door(s) may be opened. See Section 6.5, Service Mode
for interlock situations. Prior to opening the door, verify that the chamber pressure is zero by
looking at the Control Panel LCD screen and also the “CHAMBER PRESSURE” gauge. If the
pressure in the chamber is above 0.8 PSI or below 1.0”, the chamber pressure sensor will disable
the door open sequence. Residual steam is a normal occurrence at the end of the Liquid and
Media cycles.
To open the selected unload door, press the door “DOOR OPEN” button located on the
Control Panel keypad. The Door Open button must be held in until the door begins to
move. Once the door is moving, the button may be released and the door will continue
open.
10. CAUTION-CONTENTS WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT !!!

Unload the autoclave according to in house SOP’s. Use autoclave gloves to remove the load.
For Liquid or Media loads allow sufficient time for liquids to cool below the boiling point.
Sudden movement may cause explosive boil-over.

High Temperature Limit 3.0oC
Low Temperature Limit 1.0oC
SET UP: This phase is the same for all types of cycles. During this phase the
control system may be programmed or a cycle may be selected to run. The Jacket
Temperature will be maintained at +0.0/- 2.0oC of Jacket Temperature set point, if
Jacket Idle is off and 98.0oC to 100oC if Jacket Idle is on.
DOOR SEAL: The door gasket(s) seals during this time. If door gasket pressure
is achieved within 1.0 minutes the system advances to AIR FLUSH. If pressure is
not reached, the system advances to DOOR UNSEAL.
AIR FLUSH: In this phase air is evacuated from the chamber by use of vacuum.
Steam enters the chamber, with the exhaust valve open and the vacuum output on
for the Purge Time set point. If the Chamber Temperature reaches 6oC below the
Sterilize Temperature set point, the steam valve turns off. Then vacuum is drawn
to vacuum steps of Pre-Vacuum Level set point according to the number of Pre-
Vacuum Pulses, see the chart below. When the vacuum levels are reached, the
vacuum output is turned OFF and steam enters the chamber until Purge Pressure
set point is reached. This vacuum/steam pulsing is repeated for the programmed
number of Pre-Vacuum Pulses. On the final pulse, the system will hold for Pre-
Vacuum Hold set point. The timer will start when the Pre-Vacuum Level set
point is reached. After completion of Air Flush the system will advance to
CHARGE.

CHARGE: In this phase steam continues to enter the chamber. The Chamber
Temperature is monitored from the sensor located in the chamber drain. The
control system will modulate the chamber steam valve as the temperature
approaches set point. A ramp control is used to allow the product temperature to
catch up to the Chamber Temperature. The ramp control starts at 6.0oC below the
Sterilize Temperature set point. The Chamber Temperature will control for the
duration of the Increment Charge Time set point. After the timer expires, the set
point will increment 2.0oC and repeat until the final set point temperature is
reached. When the final set point temperature is reached, the Final Charge Timer
set point will time down. When the timer expires, the system will advance to
STERILIZE.
STERILIZE: During Sterilize, the steam entering the chamber is controlled by the
chamber steam valve around the original programmed Sterilize Temperature set
point. A constant bleed allows steam to flow by the drain sensor. The Sterilize
Timer will reset if a Low Temperature Alarm occurs. When the Sterilize timer
expires, the system will advance to FAST EXHAUST.
FAST EXHAUST: During this phase, the steam is exhausted out of the chamber.
When the system reaches ambient pressure, it will advance to DRY.
DRY: During Dry, the chamber is evacuated by use of the vacuum output. The
Dry Timer will start when entering the phase. When the Dry Time expires, the
system will advance to AIR IN.
AIR IN: During this phase, the filtered air valve opens to allow the chamber to
reach ambient pressure. When ambient pressure is reached, the system will
advance to DOOR UNSEAL for single door units and will advance to CYCLE
END for double door units.
DOOR UNSEAL: The door gasket is unsealed during this time. The system has
3.0 minutes to pull 4.0"HG inside the chamber before pulling vacuum on the door
gasket unless a Door Abort occurred. When the chamber reaches 4.0"HG or a
Door Abort occurred, for 0.5 minutes a vacuum is pulled on the door gasket.
Once the 0.5 minute timer expires and the gasket has unsealed, the system
advances to CYCLE END.
CYCLE END: During this phase, the filtered air valve and the exhaust valve are
open allowing the chamber to maintain ambient pressure. A buzzer will sound to
alert the operator that the cycle is complete. If the buzzer is not silenced in 2
minutes, it will automatically silence. If the chamber is at ambient pressure, door
is enabled for opening. The system will advance to SET UP when a door is
opened.
9.2 SOLID CYCLE:

Purge Time 2.0M
Dry Time 5.0M
AIR FLUSH: In this phase, steam enters the chamber. When the Purge Pressure
set point is reached, the Purge Timer starts. The exhaust valve is modulated to

SLOW EXHAUST: During this phase, the steam is exhausted out of the chamber
at a controlled rate by use of the slow exhaust valve (approximately 0.25 to 3.0
PSI/MIN.). The range of the Exhaust Rate set point is 10 to 120 (10 equal 3.0
PSI/MIN. and 120 equals 0.25 PSI/MIN.). Once 0.8PSIG is reached, the fast
exhaust valve will open to allow the chamber to reach ambient pressure. The
jacket is turned off in this phase, in order to cool down the load. When the system
reaches ambient pressure, it will advance to COOL. Note: This could be limited
by the existing piping configuration.
COOL: During this phase, the filtered air valve and the exhaust valve are open
allowing the chamber to maintain ambient pressure, in order to cool down the load
before the door is enabled to be open. The jacket is turned off in this phase, in
order to cool down the load. After the Cool Time expires, the system will

12.0 HOW TO CHANGE THE DOOR GASKET:
1. Remove the front fascia (where the gauges are located), by lifting it straight up until it is
free from the catches (approx. 1” of travel).
The door and all of its components will be EXTREMELY HOT.
2. Lower the door until the door alignment hole, on the door guide angle, lines up with the
door bar.
3. Insert the right side door pin, hanging on the frame next to the alignment hole, into the
door alignment hole.
4. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the door guide angle extension (2 screws), located on
the left side of the unit.
5. Insert the left side pin into the door alignment hole on the other side of the door.
6. Remove the door fascia screws (2 ea.) on the top of the door.
7. Rotate the door fascia down toward you until the door bar is completely exposed, then
lower the door fascia downward (approx. 1/4” of travel) until it is free from the door.
8. Raise the door pivot bolt, located under the bottom right side of the door, into the door
pivot alignment hole. Make sure the pivot bolt shoulder contacts the bottom edge of the
door.
9. Using the T-handle hex key wrench located on the frame next to the door, remove the
LEFT side door bar retaining screw.
**DO NOT remove the right side screw. The right side screw allows the door to pivot.
10. Loosen the swivel nut of the gasket air port braided hose connection, located at the
bottom of the door, so when the door pivots, it does not kink the hose.
11. Rotate the door toward you until it is approximately 90o to the unit.
12. Remove the gasket from the groove. Refer to Section 6.5, Service Mode, Change Gasket
menu item. This Menu item will assist in removing the gasket from the groove and help
track gasket life.
13. Clean the groove of any debris. Clean the new gasket to ensure no particles were picked
up during shipping or storage.
14. Insert the new gasket into the groove. Start with the corners, leaving equal length
between the corners on the straight sides. Make sure the gasket splice is on one of the
straight sides and not on a corner.
15. Rotate the door towards the unit until it lines up with the door bar.
16. Using the T-handle hex key wrench, install the LEFT side door bar retaining screw. Also
check that the right side door bar retaining screw is tightened.
17. Return the T-handle hex key wrench to its place on the frame.
18. Tighten the swivel nut of the gasket air port braided hose connection, located at the
bottom of the door.
19. Lower the door pivot bolt, located under the bottom right side of the door, until it is free
from the door and low enough not to hit the door under normal operation.
20. Re-install the door fascia by first catching the bottom of the door with the lip on the rear
of the door fascia. Then lift the fascia and rotate onto the top of the door bar.
21. Re-install the door fascia screws (2 ea.) on the top of the door.
22. Remove the door pin(s) from the door pin alignment hole(s). You may have to push
downward on the door to loosen the pins.
23. Using a slotted screwdriver, re-install the door guide angle extension (2 screws), located
on the left side of the door.
24. Re-install the front fascia by hanging it from the top frame angle.
25. Make sure the control system is back in RUN mode.
