Electrical1. Door Switch: Prevents the unit from run-

ning a sterilization cycle if the door is notfully closed.

2. Main Control PC Board: Contains the mi-croprocessor and related circuits to controlthe sterilizer's operation. It also containsthe necessary circuitry to convert the analog signals from the thermocouple andthe pressure sensor into digital form, calibrate those signals and send them tothe main control board.

3. Power Supply Board: Converts Supplypower into 5VDC and 12VDC to power thevarious electrical components of the steril-izer, except the heater, which is poweredby supply voltage.

4. Solenoid PC Board: Contains the neces-sary circuitry to control the opening andclosing of the fill and vent solenoid valvesand the operation of the pump.

5. Power Module: With the power cord,serves as the point of connection betweenthe sterilizer and the power mains.

6. Transformer: Steps supply voltage downfor the power supply board.

General Description

7. Membrane Panel: An 11 button mem-brane panel that allows the operator tocontrol the operation of the sterilizer andto modify the sterilizer's operational para-meters.

8. ON/Off Switch: Located on the undersideof the front case, below the membraneswitch. The on/off switch has a build-incircuit breaker to protect the sterilizer fromcurrent overload.

9. Heater: The heater in this sterilizer con-tains a high wattage element for heatingthe sterilizer to exposure temperaturesand a low wattage element for maintainingthe sterilizer at drying temperatures. Theheater also incorporates an automaticover temperature protection circuit. If theheater overheats, turn the main powerswitch off and allow time for the heater tocool and reset. The heater is bolted to thebottom of the sterilizer chamber and isaccessible through an access panel onthe bottom of the unit.

10. Printer Assembly: The optional printer inthis sterilizer is a thermal printer, requiringthermally sensitive paper to operate. Theprinter provides a record of the chambertemperature and pressure and cycle stageat one minute intervals. The printer isequipped with a paper advance buttonand a light to indicate when the printer isout of paper.

11. Fill Solenoid: Located on the water inletline between the water pump and thesterilizer chamber, the fill solenoid opens

when energized, allowing water from thereservoir to be pumped into the chamber.

12. Vent Solenoid: Located on the steamreturn piping between the sterilizerchamber and the reservoir, the ventsolenoid closes when energized, allow-ing steam pressure and temperature torise to sterilization levels in the chamber.In the event of power failure, the ventsolenoid will open, venting the chamber,ending the sterilization cycle and allow-ing you access to the load in thechamber.

13. Temperature Probe: Located in the topcenter of the back wall of the sterilizerchamber, the temperature probe sup-plies an analog signal to the analog PCboard.

14. Pump: When energized at the initiationof a sterilization cycle, the pump will runfor a specified time, which will varydepending on the cycle selected. Thisensures that the chamber is alwaysfilled with the proper amount of water forthe cycle being run.

15. Fan: Wired directly to the main on/offswitch, the fan will run continuouslywhile the main on/off switch is on to pro-vide cooling for the PC boards.

16. SSR/OTP Board: Contains necessarycircuitry to detect either an open orshorted RTD.

Packs:Starts fixed packs cycle of 30 minutes at121°C.

Wrapped:Starts fixed wrapped goods cycle of 10minutes at 135°C.

Start Cycle:Pressing this button starts the predeter-mined cycle.

Stop:This button will stop any cycle in progress

and return the unit to the idle mode.Optional Cycle:

Allows users to set their own parametersfor time, temperature, and drying time.

Select:Used for diagnostic testing.

Up/Down Arrows:Used to adjust parameters.

Piping

Reservoir Drain ConnectionUsed to drain reservoir of water. Only done whileunit is in idle mode or off and door is open. Thisconnection is a self-sealing quick disconnect fit-ting with a corresponding quick disconnect insertattached to a length of tubing.

ReservoirHolds 7 liters of distilled or low grade deionized(minimum 0.5 megohm/cm, maximum 1.5megohm/cm) water. Used to supply water tochamber.

Sequence of Operation

Page 11: Sterilemax Table Top Steam Sterilizer Service and Repair

11

Emergency Off (Cycle Abort)Pressing the "Stop" button will immediately termi-nate sterilization. Allow the sterilizer to cool andpress the "Stop" button again to reset the steriliz-er. Proceed with a new sterilization cycle normally.

When terminating a load, pressing the "Stop"button will vent steam from the chamber backinto the reservoir.

Resetting the Automatic OTPDisplay shows: "Cycle Aborted Due To Auto OTPDevice. Press STOP Shutoff Unit Power ToReset.

1. Press the "Stop" button.

2. Wait for the display to read "Select Cycle".

3. Turn power switch off and then on to resetthe Software Program.

4. Open the chamber door and allow thechamber to cool.

5 Select your desired cycle and run thecycle with an empty chamber to verify op-eration.

6. In the event of a repetition of fault, callBarnstead/Thermolyne Customer Service.

Special Operating Instructions

WarningDo not attempt to open the steril-izer door until the display reads“Cycle Complete.” Pressure with-in the chamber could cause thedoor to open with extreme force,possibly causing personal injury.

Reprocess your load in the eventthe sterilizing cycle has been ter-minated prematurely.

Failure to drain excess waterfrom the sterilizer chamber after acycle abort may result in subse-quent unsterile loads as a resultof contact with wayer in thechamber. Always drain excesswater from the chamber afteraborting a cycle.

allow chamber to cool beforedraining excess water.

NoteIf display shows, “The MechanicalOTP Has Tripped. Shutoff UnitPower and Reset - Caution - UnitHot!!” - Reset as described underResetting the Mechanical OTPSensor.

Erratic Controls Display orOperationAbnormal sterilizer operation or controls displaycould be caused by an internal or external electri-cal voltage surge. Such a voltage surge could because be any of a number of events: a momen-tary surge in the power supply, a nearby lighten-ing storm, or even a static electrical charge car-ried by operating personnel.

Abnormal operation or displays are not commonoccurrences and may never happen. No damageto the equipment will occur if such an eventshould happen.

If an abnormal condition should occur, terminateany processing cycle in process. (Press "Stop.")Reset the sterilizer by turning the power switch(on the front right corner of the unit) to OFF. Wait30 seconds and turn the power switch back on.Select your desired cycle and proceed with nor-mal operation.

Power Failure During SterilizingCycleAll Selector/Indicator Panel lights will be off. Allowthe unit to cool down. Reset the sterilizer by turn-ing the power switch (under the front right cornerof the unit) to OFF. Wait 30 seconds and turn thepower switch back on. Drain excess water fromthe sterilizer chamber. Then reprocess your loadnormally.

SPECIAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WarningReprocess your load in the eventthe sterilizing cycle has been ter-minated prematurely. The loadmay not be sterile when the ster-ilizing cycle has been terminatedprematurely.
