1.3 Description Of Sterilizer

A. General Description (See Figure 1-1).

The M9 Sterilizers are designed to sterilize instruments. The major components of the sterilizer consist of a pressure vessel, condensing tank assembly, heating

element, temperature sensor assembly, condensing tank water level sensor (early M9 units only), pressure vessel water level sensor, pulse solenoid, thermostat, door switch, control PC board, fill solenoid, vent solenoid, bellows assembly, display PC board, and a pressure relief valve.

B. Theory of Operation (See Figures 5-1 and 5-2).

Theory Of Operation:

Power is supplied to the control PC board when the sterilizer is plugged in. At this time, the control PC board will flash the error lamp and display “E 001”. This is normal and occurs when the sterilizer is first plugged in or if a power outage has occurred.

When the ON/STANDBY switch is pressed, the error lamp extinguishes and the program switches are enabled. The program lamps flash and the ON/ STANDBY indicator lamp illuminates.

The operator determines the desired cycle and selects the cycle by pressing either: UNWRAPPED, POUCHES, LIQUIDS, OR PACKS button. Upon selecting the desired cycle, the control PC board sets the specific time and temperature parameters for that cycle into memory. These settings are alternately displayed on the TIME/TEMP display. Note: The control PC board will continue to use the same parameters on subsequent cycles until a new type of cycle is selected.

The operator presses the START button which signals the control PC board to initiate the cycle.

The control PC board continuously monitors for an open door condition from the time the START button is pressed until the start of the drying cycle. It does this by monitoring the door switch for continuity. If no continuity is detected after a cycle has been started, the control PC board will stop the cycle and illuminate the DOOR AJAR indicator. The DOOR AJAR indicator will continue to flash until continuity is sensed or until the STOP or ON/STANDBY button is pressed. Or, if the door is closed and continuity is sensed, the control PC board continues the cycle.

Figure 1-1. Major Components

On early units (units with an old style control PC board which has EPROM version M or before) which have a condensing tank water level sensor, the control PC board monitors the condensing tank water level when the sterilizer door is closed. The control PC board monitors the water level in the condensing tank during this portion of the cycle only, and it performs this monitoring by checking for continuity between the condensing tank water level sensor and the chassis. Water touches the sensor to complete a ground circuit, signaling the control PC board that the water level is sufficient and the cycle may be continued. Otherwise, the control PC board will stop the cycle and flash the WATER LOW indicator until water is sensed by the sensor, the STOP button is pressed, or the ON/ STANDBY button is pressed. On later units (units with old style control PC board which has EPROM version N or after or new style control PC board) which do not have the condensing tank water level sensor, the control PC board monitors the pressure vessel water level sensor to determine if a low water condition in the condensing tank exists. If the pressure vessel water

level sensor does not sense water within 5 minutes of starting the FILLING portion of the cycle, the control PC board stops the cycle, illuminates the WATER LOW indicator and starts sounding a beeper signal.

The control PC board illuminates the FILLING indicator and energizes the fill solenoid which allows water to flow from the condensing tank to the pressure vessel. The control PC board controls the water level in the pressure vessel by monitoring the pressure vessel water level sensor for continuity. When water completes the ground circuit between the pressure vessel water level sensor and the chassis, the control PC board de-energizes the fill solenoid.

The control PC board extinguishes the FILLING indicator lamp and illuminates the STERILIZING indicator lamp. During this portion of the cycle, temperature and pressure in the pressure vessel are continuously monitored until the drying portion of the cycle begins. A precision integrated circuit temperature sensor potted inside a brass thermowell is used to monitor the tem-

!"#$%&'(%

)"'"*+,(%'-&*.+$%&'

perature inside the pressure vessel. A PC board mounted piezoresistive pressure sensor, connected by plumbing to the pressure vessel, is used to monitor the pressure in the pressure vessel.

The control PC board energizes the heating element to begin heating the water in the pressure vessel. The temperature in the pressure vessel is displayed on the display PC board. As the water begins to boil, air is bled off through the bellows assembly into the condensing tank. The pressure in the pressure vessel is not displayed until the temperature in the pressure vessel reaches 208 °F (98 °C). When the bellows assembly senses pure steam flowing through it (which is around 215 °F), the valve in the bellows assembly closes, allowing the pressure in the pressure vessel to build. When the temperature corresponding to the cycle selected is reached, the control PC board de-energizes the heating element and begins to count down the remaining time left in the cycle. The remaining time is now displayed on the display PC board instead of the temperature. During this portion of the cycle, the control PC board regulates the pressure vessel temperature/pressure by energizing and de-energizing the heating element as necessary. The programmed temperatures are the minimum values, and the temperature during the cycle is regulated approximately 2 °F (1.1 °C) above those minimum values.

When the cycle’s set time has elapsed, the control PC board de-energizes the heating element and energizes the vent solenoid, unless the liquids cycle was selected. If the liquids cycle was selected, the control PC board de-energizes the heating element, but does not energize the vent solenoid until the temperature in the pressure vessel drops to 223 °F (106 °C).

The control PC board monitors the pressure in the pressure vessel until it drops to 0.7 psi (4.8 kPa). At that time, the control PC board goes into a 35 second delay. At the end of the delay, the control PC board sounds a series of five beeper signals and energizes the pulse solenoid for 500 ms (except for the liquids cycle on a sterilizer that contains an old style control PC board with EPROM version H or before. If old style control PC board after version H or if it is a new style control PC board, the door will open at the end of the liquids cycle also.), which allows the door to open to the vent position. The control PC board then de-energizes the vent solenoid. The control PC board (on units with old style control PC board which has EPROM version J or after or new style control PC board), the control PC board checks that the door switch switches back to its normally open position after the door opens. Checking the door switch position ensures that the door switch is not stuck closed, which would mislead the operator to think the door was closed when it was actually ajar.

During the sterilizing portion of the cycle, the control PC board continuously monitors the pressure sensor, temperature sensor, door switch, STOP button, and the ON/STANDBY button. If the pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits or the status of the door switch, STOP button, or ON/STANDBY button changes, the control PC board de-energizes the heating element and initiates an error sequence.

When an error sequence is initiated, the control PC board energizes the vent solenoid, flashes the ERROR indicator, sounds a beeper signal, and displays the error code, corresponding to the cause of the error, on the TEMP/TIME display. When the pressure in the pressure vessel drops to 0.7 psi (4.8 kPa), the control PC board delays 35 seconds. The control PC board then de-energizes the vent solenoid and stops sounding the beeper signal. The ERROR indicator lamp continues to flash and the error code continues to be displayed until the STOP or ON/STANDBY button is pressed.

The control PC board illuminates the DRYING indicator and extinguishes the STERILIZING indicator. The control PC board begins a countdown of 30 minutes and displays this time on the TEMP/TIME display. The control PC board energizes the heating element for 45 seconds, delays two minutes, energizes the heating element for 30 seconds, delays two minutes, energizes the heating coil for a predetermined duration (the duration can be set on the dip switch assembly for different time intervals), and then delays for two more minutes. The control PC board continues to energize the heating element for xx seconds followed by a two minute delay for the rest of the drying portion of the cycle. On units with new style control PC boards, there is a dip switch assembly which contains two switches for "dry cycle element duration". There are four possible combinations for these two switches, which results in setting the heating element duration during the drying cycle; they are repeat interval setting #1, setting #2, setting #3, and setting #4. Setting #1 is shortest repeat interval, setting #2 is longer, setting #3 is longer yet, and setting #4 is the longest repeat interval. This function was added to allow adjustment of "dry cycle element duration on units which are overheating during drying cycle. The unit comes factory set at the repeat

)"'"*+,(%'-&*.+$%&'

interval setting #3. If the sterilizer contains an old style control PC board with EPROM version L or after or a new style control PC board, the control PC board monitors the chamber for excessive pressure during the drying cycle, which indicates that the door did not open properly. If excessive pressure is detected, the drying cycle is stopped. After 30 minutes have elapsed, the control PC board illuminates the COMPLETE indicator, extinguishes the DRYING indicator, and sounds the beeper signal seven times. If the liquids cycle was selected, the DRYING indicator does not illuminate, the heating element does not energize, and the COMPLETE indicator illuminates. If the STOP button is pressed during the drying portion of the cycle, a new cycle can be initiated.

Several safety checks are present to prevent the pressure vessel from exceeding safe pressure and temperature limits. The control PC board limits the pressure and temperature from exceeding 34.5 psi (238 kPa) and 277 °F (136 °C) respectively. A pressure relief valve prevents the pressure from exceeding 35 psi (241 kPa) on older units and 40 psi (275.7 kPa) on newer units. A bi-metallic thermostat shuts off power to the control PC board if the pressure vessel temperature exceeds 295 °F (146 °C).

ometer (1, Figure 4-28) in the counter-clockwise direction until the PRESSURE (PSI) display reads 0.0 psi (0.0 kPa).

(6) Turn adjusting screw of pressure zero potenti-

ometer (1) in the clockwise direction until the PRESSURE (PSI) display reads 0.1 psi (1 kPa).

CAUTION

The multimeter leads must be connected

exactly as shown in the illustration. Connecting a lead to the wrong side of the resistor or wrong pin of the chip will result in an incorrect adjustment.

(7) Set the multimeter to read VDC at least the 5

Volts range. Connect the red lead of a multimeter to Test Point (A) and the black lead of a multimeter to Test Point (B).

(11) Press the START button to start a test/calibra-

tion cycle and wait until the temperature on the TEMP (°F) / TIME (MIN: SECONDS) display reaches 272 - 273°F (133-134°C) (See Figure 4-27).

NOTE

Turning the adjusting screw of the pressure range potentiometer in the clockwise direction raises the sterilizer pressure reading while turning the adjusting screw in the counter-clockwise direction lowers the sterilizer pressure reading.

(12) Turn the adjusting screw of the pressure range

potentiometer (2, Figure 4-28) in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction until the reading on the PRESSURE (PSI) display matches the reading of the Pressure Gauge Test Harness within a tolerance of ±0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

(13) Recheck the multimeter reading. It should still

read 2.550 VDC ±0.001 VDC.

(14) Press the STOP button to end the test/calibra-

tion cycle and allow the sterilizer to vent and open its door (See Figure 4-27).

NOTE

In the following step, if the digital multimeter being used has only three digits, adjust to a reading of 2.54 VDC and then adjust and set to where the reading just changes to 2.55 VDC.

(8) The multimeter should read 2.550 VDC ±0.001

VDC. If multimeter reading is not 2.550 VDC ±0.001 VDC, adjust the adjusting screw of the temperature potentiometer (3) in a clockwise direction to lower the voltage setting or a

(15) Disconnect the leads of the multimeter from

Test Points (A and B, Figure 4-28).

(16) Disconnect the power cord from the sterilizer

and then repeat steps 3 and 4 of this procedure. The reading should read 0.1 psi (1 kPa) with the sterilizer door open. If not, repeat steps 5 and 6 of this procedure.

PARTS LIST

6.1 Introduction

The illustrated parts list provides information for identifying and ordering the parts necessary to maintain the sterilizer in peak operating condition. Refer to paragraph

1.5 for parts ordering information.

The parts list also illustrates disassembly and assembly relationships of parts.

6.2 Description of Columns

The

Item

column of the parts list gives a component its own unique number. The same number is given to the component in the parts illustration. This allows a part number of a component to be found if the technician can visually spot the part on the illustration. The technician simply finds the component in question on the illustration and notes the item number of that component. Then, he finds that item number in the parts list. The row corresponding to the item number gives the technician the part number, a description of the component, and quantity of parts per subassembly. Also, if a part number is known, the location of that component can be determined by looking for the item number of the component on the illustration.

The

component that is required for the subassembly. The letters “AR” denote “as required” when quantities of a particular component cannot be determined, such as: adhesive.

Bullets [ • ] in the column show the indenture level of a component. If a component does not have a bullet, it is a main component of that illustration. If a component has a bullet, it is a subcomponent of the next component listed higher in the parts list than itself that does not have a bullet. Likewise, if a component has two bullets, it is a subcomponent of the next component listed higher in the parts list than itself that has only one bullet.
