5.1 General
IMPORTANT: A listing of the
and servicing this equipment can be found in Section 1 of this manual. Do not
operate or service the equipment until you have become familiar with this
information.
The microcomputer control of the Basil® 9502 Cage and Rack Washer allows the
adjustment of programmed cycles and the creation of new cycles. Using this
feature, cycles may be customized to process different types of loads.
The washer is preprogrammed with four basic cycles: RODENTS, BOTTLES,
RABBITS, and PRIMATES. These cycles are programmed with treatments and
treatment values to which the control will default in the case of battery or memory
failure.
The control is also capable of storing parameters for up to six custom cycles.
In addition to these ten programmable cycles, there are two cycles that cannot
be modified: DRAIN and DESCALER, which are used for maintenance purposes.
The following chart summarizes the unit default values and parameters for
customized cycles.
See Table 5-1 for the cycle default values and treatment parameters.

5.2 Change Values
Mode
The Change Values Mode allows authorized operators to modify treatment
values of existing cycles or modify miscellaneous operating values.
All the values can be secured (or "locked-out") using a supervisor Access Code.
5.2.1 Sequence of
Display Screens
5.2.2 How to Modify a
Cycle
In Change Values Mode, cycles are modified or created by selecting a
treatment, then by modifying its values. The process is repeated for each
selected treatment until a customized cycle is completed.
Treatment values appear on the display screen in a sequential order which is
the same for all preprogrammed or custom cycles.
Treatments may be bypassed by setting time values to 0 except for PRE-WASH
and EXHAUST.
NOTE: In the following sequence, tank and chemical names used are default
factory-set names. Tank and chemical names may be changed in Service Mode
to meet customer needs (see Section 4 of Maintenance Manual [P764-330-842]).
The following procedure shows how to modify a cycle.
1. Position POWER/OFF-STANDBY switch, located behind printer door, to
POWER. Unit name temporarily appears on the screen. Display shows:
* STERIS*
*BASIL 9502*

Cycle and Control Value ProgrammingOperator Manual920017-148
The Access Code feature is used to prevent unauthorized changes to the
parameters of designated cycles and/or operating values by unauthorized
operators. With this feature, access to cycle values may be selectively
limited to authorized operators only, depending on the security needs of the
washer environment. When Access Code is enabled, only authorized
operators can change operating values.
ADVANTAGES OF ENABLING OR DISABLING ACCESS CODE: Enabling
or disabling the Access Code can impact the efficiency of washing
operations. For that reason, the supervisor should carefully consider the
choices: if the Access Code is ON, the supervisor can ensure operators use
the washer within predetermined parameters; if the Access Code is OFF,
the supervisor can allow operators more flexibility in determining which
cycles to use and how to use them. The deciding factor should be what
works best for the facility's operation.
NOTE: The ACCESS CODE feature can be enabled in Service Mode only (see
Section 4 of Maintenance Manual [P764-330-842]),

6. Place new paper roll onto the lower spindle with the paper feeding downward from the back of the paper roll (see Figure 6-9).
NOTE: Check that the paper roll is positioned correctly. Thermal printer will not
print if the paper roll is inserted backwards. Do not use other brands of thermal
paper, use only STERIS thermal paper (Part Number 129359-008). Damage to
printer mechanisms can occur if paper of different width or thickness is used.
7. Place lower spindle (with new paper roll) back into position by pressing from
the front until it snaps into place.
8. Pull four or five inches of paper out from roll and tear the corners off the end
to form a "V" tab (see Figure 6-9).

6.6.2 Thermal Paper
Storage
Thermal paper is subject to fading with time, humidity, and exposure to light.
It is the manufacturer's recommendation that thermal paper be stored in a dark
place with an average ambient temperature of less than 77°F (25°C) and a
relative humidity less than 65%. Under these conditions, the paper remains
readable for at least five years. It is recommended that if printed data is to be
retained for periods of time longer than 5 years (6-25 years), an additional
photocopy should be made for record retention. In any case, a duplicate set of
records should be maintained in the files of the engineering or maintenance
departments.
Thermal paper begins to develop color at about 158°F (70°C). However, under
humid conditions, it might begin to develop at an accelerated rate. If stored for
24 hours at 140°F (60°C), the paper shows some signs of development. It also
shows signs of development if stored for 24 hours at 113°F (45°C) and a relative
humidity of 90%.
Do not store thermal paper next to other chemically treated papers - such as
pressure sensitive paper or other type of recording round charts - as this may
cause fading in print. If thermal paper is to be stored in the same area, always
ensure it and other chemically treated papers are kept in separate envelopes.
Thermal paper discolors when exposed to direct sunlight.
