Cycle Description

Controls ON (Standby)

The vent valve is open when the unit is in standby mode. The heater is turned on to warm up the chamber.

 

 

 

Fill Phase

 

 

 

When CYCLE START is pressed, a 30 second

 

 

 

delay begins, during which time the chamber

temperature. The sterilizer will wait up to 60

 

minutes for the chamber to drop below 70%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

before the Fill Phase. When the chamber has

 

 

 

cooled, there is a 15 second delay and then

 

 

 

the fill valve is open for timed period. Water

 

 

 

from the reservoir enters the chamber.

Heatup Phase

The vent valve is closed and the chamber pressure increases until the exposure set point is reached.

Exposure Phase

The exposure set point is maintained for a timed period. The heater is controlled to maintain the chamber temperature and pressure.

Exhaust Phase

Dry Goods (Recirculating Unit)

The heater is turned off and the fill (exhaust) valve is opened. Steam exhausts back into the reservoir. Near the end of the phase, the fill valve is closed and the vent valve is opened to relieve the remaining pressure.

Dry Goods (Non-Recirculating Unit)

The heater is turned off and the drain valve is opened. Steam exhausts into the external collection bottle. Near the end of the phase, the drain valve is closed and the vent valve is opened to relieve the remaining pressure.

Liquids (Recirculating Unit)

The heater is turned off and the fill (exhaust) valve is opened and closed in small increments to slowly bleed off the chamber pressure. Steam exhausts back into the reservoir. Near the end of the phase, the fill valve is closed and the vent is opened to relieve the remaining pressure.

Liquids (Non-Recirculating Unit)

The heater is turned off and the drain valve is opened and closed in small increments to slowly bleed off the chamber pressure. Steam exhausts into the external collection bottle. Near the end of

the phase, the drain valve is closed and the vent valve is opened to relieve the remaining pressure.

Drying Phase (Optional)

Open Door

The operator opens the door and leaves it ajar.

The heater is controlled to provide a heated chamber for drying goods. The vent valve remains open.

Closed Door

The drying phase, if selected, starts automatically at the end of the cycle. The heater is controlled to provide a heated chamber for drying goods. The vent valve remains open.

Controls Description

The electronic controls include the following assemblies:

Power I/O PC Board 2A

Control PC Board 3A

Control Panel 4A

Printer 5A (optional)

Transformer PC Board 6A (optional

MC10 printer)

Power Input

The customer supply input (115 or 230 VAC) is routed to the EMI filter, Power I/O PC Board, and Transformer PC Board. The filtered input is applied to the Power I/O Board, which produces the required operating voltages for the controls.

11

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Power I/O Board

The Power I/O PC Board produces +24 VDC for the solenoid valves and +5 VDC for the control circuits. The unfiltered supply voltage is routed to the heater circuit.

The Power I/O PC Board communicates with the Control PC Board via a serial data interface. In response to commands from the Control PC

Board, the Power I/O PC Board controls solenoid valves 1SOL through 3SOL and heater 1HTR/2HTR. The solenoid valves are activated by the solenoid driver on the Power I/O PC

Board. The heater is activated by solid-state relay 1SSR, mounted on the chassis.

If an over temperature condition should occur, thermal switch 2SW will open to remove power from the heaters.

Control PC Board

The Control PC Board contains a microprocessor that controls the sterilization cycle. The microprocessor monitors temperature, pressure and switch inputs, and controls the solenoid valves and heaters via the Power I/O PC Board.

The input from temperature sensor 1RT is an analog voltage that is applied to a conditioning circuit which produces coarse and fine control voltages. These voltages are applied to the microprocessor for precise control of the chamber temperature.

The pressure input from 1PT is an analog voltage that is applied directly to the microprocessor.

The amplitude of the voltage is proportional to the pressure.

12

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The Control PC Board communicates with the printer over a serial data interface.

Control Panel

The control panel is a membrane switch panel connected to the Control PC Board by a ribbon cable.

Printer

The MC8 printer connects to the printer receptacle on the back of the sterilizer. Power for the printer is provided by a transformer-type wall plug.

The MC10 printer is mounted next to the Control Panel.

Transformer PC Board

The Transformer PC Board steps down the input voltage to the level required by the MC10 printer.

Trouble Analysis

Caution

Factory setup mode should only be used by authorized service personnel.

Fuse Replacement

Main Fuses

The main fuses are located on the back panel of the sterilizer. 115 VAC units have one or two 15A fuse. 230 VAC units have two 8A fuses.

Transformer Board (MC10 Printer Option)

Fuses 1F and 2F (100 mA) are soldered on the Transformer PC Board.

Diagnostic Messages

When a malfunction occurs, the Control Panel will display a message describing the nature of the problem. Some malfunctions will be due to out of tolerance conditions during the processing cycle.

The last five malfunctions will be listed in the error log. The error log can be viewed by entering factory setup mode:

1.Press CONTROLS ON.

2.Press and hold the CONTROLS OFF switch.

3.Press and hold the PROGRAM/SET switch.

4.Release the CONTROLS OFF switch

5.Release the PROGRAM/SET switch.

6.The error log will be displayed. Use the up and down arrows to view the last five entries.

TROUBLE ANALYSIS

Error log entries include the following information:

ER number. Use this number to determine the specific malfunction (see diagnostic message tables, pp. 17-18).

Note

To enable the automatic cycle start feature, RECYCLE must be selected at the DIAGNOSTICS prompt in factory setup mode.

To stop a cycle from repeating, open the door or press CYCLE STOP during the 30 second delay between cycles.

Caution

If the user advances through an un-timed phase and the temperature/pressure conditions are not met for the Enhanced Data

Display phase, an error may occur.

TROUBLE ANALYSIS

Diagnostics Mode

When diagnostics mode has been enabled in the factory setup mode, the following features will be available:

Automatic Cycle Start. If the door is not opened within 30 seconds after a cycle is completed, the software will automatically start another cycle.

Cycle Phase Advance. If the down arrow is pressed during a timed phase

(fill, air removal, exposure, or drying), the timer will be zeroed and the cycle will advance to the next phase.

Enhanced Data Display. During a cycle, additional information is displayed on the LCD: the cycle phase and timer in minutes and seconds.

Enhanced Data Printout. The message DIAGNOSTICS MODE will be added to the standard printout. If any malfunctions occur, a detailed message will be printed.

Testing for Leaks

If the sterilizer cannot reach or maintain chamber pressure, inspect door gasket and replace it if worn or damaged. Check piping connections for leaks by applying soapy water and looking for steam bubbles.
