Original Statim Error Codes
Check Cassette 1
Chamber temperature does not rise more than 2°C in three minutes. In all cases: No power to the boiler. Check thermal fuse. Replace if necessary.
Check Cassette 2

STATIM
Failed to heat up from 95-100°C in 80 seconds. Is steam leaking from the cassette during operation? Check seal for debris or damage. Lubricate seal using liquid hand soap. (Do not use anti-bacterial soap,) If problem persists replace seal. Replace cassette lid or tray as needed.
Check Cassette 3
Failed to pressurize to 110°C in 70 seconds. If visible steam leaks appear repair cassette as needed. If no leaks are visible disassemble solenoid valve and check for debris. Make sure plunger slides smoothly in the plunger tube. Refer to Solenoid Valve Section.
Check Cassette 4
Failed to begin sterilization within 10 minutes of pressurization. Refer to explanation for Check Cassette 3.
Check Cassette 5
Boiler went dry prematurely. May be a bad pump or boiler. Check pump using Pump Tester Bottle (part # 01100713S). I1 pump checks good follow Check Cassette 6 explanation.
Check Cassette 6
Boiler temperature is more than 5°C higher than the chamber while sterilizing. When display changes from "pressurization" to "sterilization", does it take longer than 10 seconds for the pressure information (xxxKpA) to appear in the read-out'?
It is probable that water containing more than 5 ppm of total dissolved solids was used in the machine. Boiler is contaminated. This means the inside of the boiler has accumulated excessive mineral deposits from the use of poor quality distilled water. The boiler may be restored with a calcium, lime and rust remover, i.e. "CLR". Refer to Reclaim Boiler Section. Note: Before reclaiming boiler check to be sure Statim has a float switch, not a Water Quality Sensor.
Check Cassette 7
Boiler temperature is below lower limit while sterilizing. If the cassette can be removed normally

STATIM
after venting: Disassemble solenoid valve and check for debris. Make sure the plunger slides smoothly in the plunger tube. Refer to Solenoid Valve Section.
If the cassette is hard to remove after venting: Check for kinked exhaust tubing. Solenoid valve is failing to open. Disassemble and check that the plunge slides smoothly in the plunger tube. Refer to Solenoid Valve Section.
Check Cassette 8
Chamber temperature is more than 5°C higher than boiler while sterilizing. Check for kinks in exhaust hose. Check to see if Condenser Bottle is full of hot water. When display changes from "pressurization" to "sterilization", does it take longer than 10 seconds for the pressure information (xxxKpA) to appear in the read-out? If the delay is more than 10 seconds, reclaim the boiler. Refer to Reclaim Boiler Section.
Check Cassette (no number)
The chamber temperature failed to drop below 112°C within 60 seconds after the start of the VENTING phase at the end of the cycle. Check for kinks in the exhaust hose. Check for a clogged duct in the rear of the cassette tray. Blow out with compressed air. Check solenoid valve for proper operation.
Service Needed The boiler temperature has exceeded 170°C, the chamber temperature has exceeded 147°C or a thermocouple is broken. Does the "Service Needed" message appear as soon as the cycle button is pressed, before pressing the start button? There is a broken thermocouple. Does the "Service Needed" message appear after the start button is depressed and cycle starts? Check pump using Pump Tester Bottle (part #01-100713S). If pump checks good, refer to Check Cassette 6 explanation.
Select a Program is displayed in the middle of a cycle.
Check micro switch contacts. Micro switch should read less than I ohm with cassette inserted in Statim and infinite with cassette removed.
Insert Cassette is displayed when the cassette is inserted fully and the

Cycle Fault 3
The cassette has failed to pressurize and achieve a temperature of 110°C within a time-out period. If visible steam leaks appear replace cassette seal, lid or tray as needed.

Check for leaky pressure relief valve (PRV) or check valve.
Cycle Fault 4

If no leaks are visible disassemble solenoid valve and check for debris. Make sure plunger slides smoothly in plunger tube. Refer to Solenoid Valve Section. Check for leaky pressure relief valve (PRV) or check valve.
Cycle Fault 5 The software causes the pump to activate at predetermined times. If a request to pump water occurs outside of the predetermined time Cycle Fault 5 occurs.Check pump using Pump Tester Bottle (part #01-100713S).

The internal temperature of the steam generator (boiler) has exceeded 150°C for 25 seconds. Check pump using Pump Tester Bottle (part #01100713S).
Printer Fault
Message appears if optional printer is installed and not printing. Check for paper jam. No message displayed and printer does not work.
Make sure that all printer cables are connected. Cables are correctly connected if the time and date are shown on the LCD. Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. Check that the paper leaves the paper roll from the top of the roll. This means that the treated surface of the thermal paper will be in contact with the thermal print head.
Water Quality is Not Acceptable
The water quality sensor has detected water in the reservoir is above acceptable limits for total dissolved solids. Drain reservoir and refill with known good distilled water. DO NOT clean boiler with CLR.
Distilled H20 Only Same as Water Quality is Not Acceptable.
Cycle Interrupted
This message is displayed when there is a power failure in the middle of a cycle or whenever the power is turned off after an error occurred and the STOP button is not pressed.

Press Stop To Reset This message is displayed on all error faults. Press STOP to clear message.
Touch pads do not work
Disconnect keypad plug from PCB. Be sure blue plastic piece for keypad plug on PCB is pushed up on the plug pins as far as possible. Reconnect keypad and check. Replace keypad if necessary.
No display or garbled display on LCD.
Check plug connections from cover to PCB. Check that microprocessor is seated firmly in socket.
Statim makes a clicking noise with cassette removed
This is caused by steam leaking from the cassette. The steam gets into the micro switch causing the contacts to open and close and the solenoid clicks. Repair cassette leak and clicking should stop in approximately 24 hours.
Loud buzzing noise
Clean or replace solenoid as needed.
Noise during drying cycle only
Some check valve noise is normal. Check the air filter. Replace if dirty. If filter is wet replace check valve and compressor if necessary.
Water dripping from drain tube under Statim
Replace seal or repair cassette as needed.
Steam is escaping from Condenser Bottle vent hole
Ensure that condenser bottle is always filled to MIN line.
Steam is leaking from Push-In-Fitting at rear of Statim
Ensure that exhaust tube is fully inserted in fitting. Push past initial resistance until tube seats.
Wraps remain wet after drying
