 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
POWER UP.
When the unit is switched on, it will enter the ‘stand by mode’. In this condition all of the valves will be closed and the heaters will be
switched off.
Pressing the ready/standby button puts the unit into the ready mode with the air bleed valve being energised. The internal chamber
heater powers up and tries to maintain its temperature at 120°C. In the ‘ready mode’ it is possible to select & start cycles.

39
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 1 - PRE VACUUM.
When the start button is pressed the air bleed valve will close.
The vacuum pump and vacuum solenoid valve will then be energised and a vacuum will form within the chamber. The level
that the vacuum drawn is determined by the value set in software (300mbar abs (-0.7bar/g)). All type B cycles are set to
waitfor≤300mbar abs [or -0.7 bar gauge]. On the 134B, 121B, 134B18 and 134TP cycles the vacuum valve will then close and the
vacuum pump will be turned off

Note: Failure to achieve the required vacuum in the time specified (900seconds) will result in the cycle
terminating and Error 01 (Vacuum Timeout) being indicated on the display panel.
40
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 1 cont.. - WATER FILL
Once the vacuum level has been achieved, the water fill solenoid will energise and water will enter the boiler from the tank, through
the water fill valve and to the boiler via the filter.
In order to achieve the correct water fill level, the boiler probe also acts as a water level sensor. When the water reaches the boiler probe a
circuit is completed and the fill valve will close.
Note: Failure to achieve 100% water fill in the time specified (240 seconds) will result in the cycle terminating
and Error 02 (Fill Timeout) being indicated on the display panel.

41
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 2 – HEATING – 1st Positive Pulse.

The boiler heater is energised and pressure begins to rise inside the chamber to achieve the 1st positive set point of 1.90 bar/g (2.90 bar abs). This
level is pre-programmed set point within the software .

Note: Failure to achieve this positive set point in the time specified (2500 seconds) will result in the cycle
terminating and Error 03 (Pressure Timeout) being indicated on the display panel.

Steam

42
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 1 - PRE VACUUM 2.
Once the desired +ve set point of 1.90 bar/g (2.90 bar abs) has been achieved, the steam will be released via the air bleed valve (Fig 1).
When the pressure drops to 0.3 bar/g (1.3 bar abs) the air bleed valve will close and the vacuum valve will open (Fig 2). At circa 105°C the vacuum
pump will start and the pressure inside the vessel reduces to -0.58 bar/g (0.48 bar abs). When this is achieved the vacuum valve will close and the
vacuum pump will be turned off.
Note: The boiler water level will be checked and if required re-filled.

STAGE 2 – HEATING – 2nd Positive Pulse.

The boiler heater is energised and pressure begins to rise inside the chamber to achieve a 2nd positive set point of 1.90 bar/g (2.90 bar abs). This
level is pre-programmed set point within the software .

Note: Failure to achieve this positive set point in the time specified (2500 seconds) will result in the cycle

Once the desired +ve set point of 1.90 bar/g (2.90 bar abs) has been achieved, the steam will be released via the air bleed valve (Fig 1).
When the pressure drops to 0.3 bar/g (1.3 bar abs) the air bleed valve will close and the vacuum valve will open (Fig 2). At circa 105°C the vacuum
pump will start and the pressure inside the vessel reduces to -0.58 bar/g (0.48 bar abs). When this is achieved the vacuum valve will close and the

45
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 2 – HEATING – To Sterilising
The boiler heater is energised and pressure begins to rise inside the chamber .

On Vacuum cycles the air bleed opens at 1.21Bar Abs during this final heating stage. At this point the air bleed steam tables are activated and 60
consecutive passes are required before the air bleed valve closes. The temperature then continues to rise up to the sterilizing set points.
Please note: On all Non-Vacuum cycles, once the boiler has initially filled with water, the boiler element will be turned on. The air bleed solenoid
will be energised (valve open). Steam will then rise into the rear of the chamber and push the air forward and out through the air bleed port
(located at the front of the chamber) and then to the waste tank via the air bleed valve, and at 1.0 bar abs and 120 consecutive passes are
required before the air bleed valve closes.

Note: Failure to achieve the required set point (60 passes) in the time specified (900 seconds) will result in the
46
cycle terminating and Error 05 (Air Bleed Timeout) being indicated on the display panel.
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 3 – STERILIZING.

As the temperature approaches the onset of sterilizing, the energy input is reduced so avoiding the possibility of temperature overshoot. This is controlled using the
Steam Power PID loop.

On reaching the required sterilizing temperature another steam table check is conducted [10 consecutive passes being required in two minutes] if 10 passes are not
achieved in this time then an error 14 will be displayed and the cycle aborted.

Once 10 passes are achieved the sterilizing timer starts.

This timer is 210 seconds for 134°C cycles (Except Prion where it is 1080 or 960 seconds on 121°C cycles).

During the sterilization period the temperature and pressure are continually monitored and compared against the steam table and any deviation from the acceptable
limits results in an Error 09 (Press v’s Temp error) occurring.

Note. Possible faults displayed in this stage:

Error 11 (Out of Sterilizing Range (Band 134.0 to 138.0°C))
Error 09 (Press V’s Temp Error (Tolerance 1.5°C)

47
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 4 – DEPRESSURISATION.

At the end of the sterilizing period the steam power is turned off, the internal heater switched on and the flush valve is energised .
With the valve open the remaining pressure in the chamber forces residual water out of the boiler and back to the used water tank.
As the water leaves the vessel the pressure in the chamber falls rapidly.
Once the pressure has returned to 0.3 bar/g (1.3 bar abs) the flush valve will close and the vacuum valve will open to proceed to drying
Note: Failure to achieve the depressurizing set point in the time specified (900seconds) will result in the cycle
terminating and Error 04 (Flush Timeout) being indicated on the display panel.

48
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 4 Cont.. - VACUUM DRYING.
Power will be applied to the boiler and internal heater, at the same time the vacuum solenoid will be energised and the vacuum pump will start.
The vacuum has 3 stages (2 x check vacuum’s and 1 long deep drawn vacuum)
The pump will operate and vacuum of -0.15Bar/abs (850mb abs), must be created within 120s or Error 7 will occur. Once achieved the pump and vac
valve are de-energised and the air filter valve energised to achieve atmospheric pressure of 950mb abs, within 900s or Error 8 will occur. This stage is
then repeated prior to a deep drawn vacuum for 13 minutes (No Error associated during this vacuum stage)
At the end of this time the vacuum pump and valve will be turned off.

49
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 4 Cont.. - AIR ADMISSION.

At the end of drying the air filter valve will open and remain energized until the pressure in the chamber returns to atmospheric pressure (-0.05Bar/g
(950mb abs. If this is not done in the required time Error 08 will be displayed.
Note: Failure to achieve atmospheric pressure set point in the time specified (900seconds) will result in the
cycle terminating and Error 08 (DRYING PRESSURE RISE TOO LONG) being indicated on the display panel.

50
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 4 Cont.. - AIR EQUILISATION.
Once atmospheric pressure is achieved, the air inlet valve, boiler and internal heater are de-energised, and power is applied to the air bleed solenoid.
The air bleed valve opens and atmospheric pressure is maintained within the chamber.

51
 Class B Cycle Phase (step-by-step)
STAGE 5 – CYCLE COMPLETE.
After a few moments delay, the cycle will complete.
This is indicated by several bleeps from the buzzer.
The air bleed valve will remain open to avoid either a pressure increase or vacuum forming within the chamber, before the door is opened.

Note: Either a positive or negative pressure in the chamber can stop the door from opening.
Once the door open button is pressed, a reduced power is applied to the boiler heater, and the cooling fan will remain on for a period of five minutes. If
a new cycle is not selected within this period the fan will automatically turn off.

2. Door latch strike plate worn.

86
 Fault Codes
RUNNING TEMPERATURE IS INCORRECT.

Due to the nature of the control system, any hardware failure will render the unit inoperative; however, calibration drift is very rare. Steam
probe is of the platinum resistance type, of proven reliability.
Front-end hardware on the power control module that measures the temperature is of a dynamic comparative nature and relies on a balance
between the two input circuits, a single failure will therefore show up as a hard fault.

Before making any adjustment to Temperature and Pressure please check that your measuring equipment is working correctly and has a valid
calibration certificate.

THERMAL CUTOUT OPERATES .

ALL UNITS SHOULD HAVE AUTOMATIC RESETTING CUT OUTS.
What to look for:

1. Leaks.
2. Boiler Thermistor faulty.
3. Boiler Thermistor not located correctly on boiler
4. Power control module fault [leaking triac] on either drying heater or boiler.

NO DISPLAY / LOSS OF POWER.

What to look for:

1. Thermal cut-out on boiler or drying heater.

2. No mains (at plug top).
3. Fuses blown.
4. Check mains connections on power control module.
5. Display module fault / not connected.
6. Check power supply output. No output could be caused by a faulty power supply or an overloaded output.
7. Solenoid valve dragging power down.

87
 Fault Codes – System Failure

There are two methods of calibration;

Zero Offsets
1. Amend current offset to zero, using correct decimal placing… and select ‘Test New Calibration Offsets’ [highlighted in blue].
2. Run a 134B cycle (Note: all error traps and sterilisation timers have been disarmed during this cycle).
3. Observe the operating temperatures for Temperature and Pressure [highlighted in Orange].
4. During sterilizing compare the readings between the display and your calibrated reference devices. Make note of the errors and
adjust the offsets accordingly.
e.g.
Measured Temperature 136.3°C
Displayed Temperature 135.8°C
Offset = 0.50°C
To adjust the offset type 0.50°C in to the green box and then click on the Test New Calibration
Offsets button the software will then update, and change and display to read the new
temperature, which should now be in-line with calibrated value. If further additions are necessary
repeat the procedure (if a further 0.1°C needs adding then change the offset to 0.6 and test again.
Once happy click on the Save button and this will store the values on the SD card in the Calibration
Log.

Current Offsets
1. You can run the 134 B cycle, with current offsets, then during sterilisation make note of the
temp and pressure differences, and amend the current offset.

e.g.
Offset of 0.5°C
Measured Temperature 136.3°C
Displayed Temperature 135.8°C
New Offset = 1.00°C (0.50 + 0.50)

Allow the unit to stabilise for a few minutes, then, click on the Save button which will store the new
values on the SD card , and Calibration Log.

staining from the autoclaves inner workings.
Fully drain the fresh water tank and refill with 2 caps of the autoclave cleaning solution and 1 litre of
distilled water. Turn the autoclave on as shown in section 7 and close the door check and ensure the
waste tank is fully drained. Drain the waste tank if required and continue to select the cleaning cycle as
defined in section 8? Once the cleaning cycle has finished please empty the fresh and waste water tanks
and refill the fresh water tank with distilled water. Run one more cleaning cycle and drain both tanks
after the cycle has completed. Refill the fresh water tank – the unit is now ready for use.

Monthly Maintenance:
Fresh water tank
On a monthly basis, fully drain the fresh water tank
and refill with 2 caps of the autoclave cleaning
solution and 1 litre of distilled water leave
overnight. Drain the fresh water tank then refill with
fresh water. Repeat the tank flushing operation
twice more to remove any cleaning residue. Always
use de-ionised, distilled or sterile water as
recommended. NEVER USE TAP WATER.
