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:

3. If Access Code feature is enabled, operator must enter Access Code before entering Change Values Mode.
5-3
Cycle and Control Value Programming Operator Manual 920017-148
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]),

Roll Replacement
See Figures 6-8 to 6-12.
NOTE: Do not operate printer without paper.

6.6.1 Procedure

Figure 6-8. Remove Take-
up Spindle
1. Open printer door.
2. Grasp remaining paper and pull it upward and out of printer.
3. Remove take-up spindle from its drive mechanism by pulling it to the left (see Figure 6-8).
4. Remove paper roll from take-up spindle and set empty take-up spindle aside.
5. Lower the platen and remove the lower paper spindle by pulling it straight forward.
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).
9. Slide tab of paper roll into printer from the back (with platen still in down position) until it exits from front of printer.
10. Grasp tab of paper, pull up 10 to 12 inches of paper, and feed this paper through opening in platen (see Figure 6-10).
11. Raise platen back up into position and snap in place under catch.
12. Insert tab of new paper roll into slot of take-up spindle (see Figure 6-10) and rotate spindle to secure paper in slot (see Figure 6-11).
13. Press take-up spindle back onto the drive mechanism and allow motor to rotate spindle to verify paper is secured to take-up roll (see Figure 6-12).
14. Close printer door.

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.
