1.3 Ordering Information
Several items must be specified when ordering the unit from your dealer.
e-mail:info@tuttnauerUSA.com.
and the solution is not covered in this manual, please contact your dealer
or Heidolph Brinkmann.
• The chamber diameter and chamber depth required
• Please specify the supply voltage available (i.e. 115v/208v; 1Ph/3Ph)
• The temperature scale needed (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
• The pressure scale needed (kPa or psi)
Page 4 of 51
1.3.1 Options
• Printer - An optional, built in, thermal printer is available
• Rapid Cooling – these units are available with or without
Rapid Cooling for liquid cycles.
ο The cooling option requires an additional water and
compressed air connection.
ο While cooling water is circulated around the outside of
the chamber compressed air is used inside the chamber to
maintain the liquid at a high boiling point.
1.3.2 Accessories
• Baskets – Different size baskets are available for these units
(see pages 49 & 50).
The baskets are made of stainless steel wire and have a
handle. The basket allows the operator to load a large
quantity of materials into the chamber.
• Stainless steel containers - Different size containers are
available for these units (see pages 49 & 50).
The containers are designed for sterilizing waste material.
The containers have vent holes along the upper rim.

2 TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Introduction
Models 2540, 3850, 3870, ELV/ELVC are vertical sterilizers designed
especially for sterilization of instruments, liquids and other materials in
laboratories, research institutes, food laboratories and pharmaceutical
A special feature of the ELVC sterilizer is the ability is to rapidly cool
The sterilizer provides four fully automatic programs eliminating any need
A safety valve, mounted at the back top of the autoclave, is set to 40psig
The autoclave is equipped with a pressure gauge (for reference only) that
