1.1 Introduction
The autoclave operates with saturated steam as the sterilizing agent, and has a
temperature range of up to 137°C (279ºF) and pressure up to 2.3 bars (34 psi).
The autoclave is constructed of stainless steel, having a double – walled structure
and is equipped with a built-in steam generator having an electric power 12kW
which supplies the necessary steam for the sterilization process.
The generator is fully automatic, which produces and supplies steam at a preset
controlled pressure and together with the autoclave constitutes an integrated
functional unit.
The autoclave is equipped with two vertical sliding doors operated by a hydraulic
system, through two oil cylinders mounted laterally on both sides of the doors. The
command pressure of compressed air is transmitted to the oil in the cylinders and
converted into hydraulic pressure, which pushes the pistons up or down, for
closing or opening the doors.
The sealing of the chamber is achieved through a heat resistant silicone gasket,
located in a groove on the front side of the autoclave. The gasket is pushed
against the door by steam pressure introduced in the groove, behind the gasket.
Each door has the opening and closing commands on its side, enabling the
operator to monitor the door's movement.
The autoclave is mounted recessed through one wall. The two doors are located in
two separate rooms.
The front (outer) door, on the side of the control panel is the preparation room,
from which the autoclave is operated and serves for loading the material into the
sterilzation chamber.
The rear(inner) door is located in the clean room and serves for unloading the
sterilized material from the autoclave.
The electronic circuitry and software programming of the control system are designed
to operate ten sterilization programs, three for unwrapped instruments, four for
wrapped instruments, three for liquid type cycles and two test programs, Bowie &
Dick test and the Leakage test.
The control system of the sterilizer is based on " State-of -the -Art" microcomputer
technology, ensuring a highly reliable and safe operation. The computerized
control unit ensures a fully automatic operation through the entire cycle, hence
after setting the pre-selected data and starting the operation, no further
intervention is necessary.
The selected program, the main phases of the cycle and the status of the machine
are controlled and displayed on digital readouts. For process documentation, the
important information concerning operation is printed in hard copy.
♦ The temperature sensors measure; drain control sensor (No. 5) (control) and the
condesate temperature on the condense line – a dual sensor (No. 1 & No. 2)
(control, monitoring and printout).
♦ The pressure transducers; the chamber pressure (control, monitoring and
printout), the jacket pressure (control and monitoring) and gaskets pressure
(control).
♦ The pressure switch regulates the steam pressure output of the steam generator.
Besides the above parameters, five pressure gauges measure the gaskets, jacket,
chamber and steam generator pressure.
The keyboard located on the front panel enables the operator to select the
program, preset the main parameters, sterilization temperature and time, start and
stop the cycle.
Only the responsible person has access to select the program and change
the major parameters by using the key.

It supplies the mineral-free water to the pressure vessel of the steam generator.
The suction of the pump is connected to the upper water reservoir filled with
mineral-free water and mounted on the rear side of the autoclave.
A float valve keeps a constant level of water and prevents an overflow of water out
of the reservoir.
A lower float switch stops the operation of pump, when the water level drops below
this switch.
The operation of the pump is conditioned by the physical factors:
♦ The pump will not work for water temperature above 60ºC.
♦ The pump will not work, when air is sucked in the water pipe.
The piping system of the autoclave consists of air-operated ball valves, which
control the water, condensate and steam flow in and out of the chamber, operate
the vacuum pump, and the air inlet valve. The air pulses to the pneumatic valves is
transmitted through solenoid pilot valves, operated at 24VDC.
Air-operated valves
Steam inlet valve (93); introduces steam from the jacket into the chamber, for
heating and maintaining the chamber temperature during the sterilization phase.
Steam to jacket (91); enters the steam into the jacket to accelerate the heating of
the chamber and to keep a stable and uniform temperature in the chamber during
the sterilization and drying stages.
Air inlet valve (43); introduces filtered atmospheric air at the end of the cycle to
break the vacuum and enable the opening of the doors.
Condensate valve (74); evacuates the condensate from the chamber during
heating and sterilization phases and isolates the chamber from the drain pipe,
during vacuum generation. It operates like a slow exhaust valve at the end of
liquids program.
Mineral free water inlet valve (21); flows water from the mineral free water
reservoir and prevents hot water to return from the steam to steam generator to
the reservoir.
Water to pump valve (15); is connected to the feed water reservoir and supplies
the water required by the operation of the vacuum pump.
Water to cooler valve (12); flows water through the condenser to cool the fluids at
the inlet of the vacuum pump.
Exhaust to vacuum pump valve (75); Connects the chamber to the vacuum pum in
the prevacuum and dry stages.
Pressure to gasket valve (94); controls the compressed air pressure to the door
gasket. When the door is closed, air enters through the valve into the groove
behind the gasket pushing it against the door to seal the chamber.
Vacuum to gasket valve (53); connects the gasket groove to the vacuum pump.
While the door is moving during the opening or closing of the door - the valve is
open and vacuum is produced to pull the gasket inside the groove, ensuring the
smooth sliding of the door. When the door is open, this valve is operated but
vacuum is not produced.
Door locking and opening valve (39, 38); actuates the door mechanism, is
operated by air-air command and has two positions:
• Locking of the door, the arms are pushed outwards and trapped in the
slots of the door frame, locking the door.
• Opening of the door, the arms are pulled off the slots of the door frame
and the door is released.
The air commands to the valve are transmitted through two solenoid valves; close
door and open door, working always in opposition, when one is open the other is
closed. There is a set of two valves for each door.
Besides the pilot solenoid valves which control the air - operated valves, the
following solenoid valves have direct action as described below:
Close door valve (39); is a servo solenoid valve which transmits compressed air to
the door cylinders for lifting the door.
Open door valve (38); is a servo solenoid valve which transmits compressed air to
the door cylinders for lowering the door.
Note: The numbers of the valves are in accordance with the ‘Valves
Numbering List’ and the piping diagram at the end of this manual.
The same number is assigned to the pneumatic valve and the pilot solenoid
valve performing the same function.
The control of the pneumatic valves is done through compressed air, as described
below:
The pneumatic valves are air-air control type, fitted with two commands, an
opening command received through solenoid valve at a pressure of 6 bars - output
by the control system and a permanent closing command at a pressure of 3 bars,
connected to all valves.
The pneumatic control system is built as follows (refer to drawing on the next
page).
The incoming compressed air supply at a pressure of 7-8 bars is reduced by
means of a pressure regulator to 6 Bars and transmitted to the entrance of the
pilot solenoid valve battery.
The solenoid valve battery is mounted on a manifold branch base, through which
all the solenoids are connected to the compressed air supply.
At the output side of the manifold branch, the compressed air is reduced by a
pressure regulator to 3 bars.
As long as a pneumatic valve does not receive from the control system an opening
command the close command which is permanently present will determine the
shut-off position of the valve.
1. The first one prevents accidental steam inlet to the chamber or to the gasket as
long as the door is opened. When the door is opened air is not supplied to the
solenoid valve and valve operator. Only when the door is closed air is supplied
to the solenoid valve, valves 93 and 94 are activated and the operation will be
performed.
2. The second one prevents the possibility of opening the door when pressure is
introduced in the chamber by means of a pneumatic controlled three-way,
two-position steam activated air returned valve.
For the generation of vacuum in the prevacuum and dry stages, the autoclave is
equipped with a liquid ring vacuum pump – Speck V6, suitable for continuous
operation, and achieving high vacuum. The water necessary for the operation of
this pump is sucked from the water reservoir, connected to the feed water source.
The water level in the reservoir is maintained by means of a mechanical float
valve.
A float switch mounted on the lower side of the reservoir prevents the pump
running in the event of no or low water level in the reservoir.
The quality of feed water is very important for maintaining the vacuum pump and
the autoclave in good condition and prolonging the life duration of the machine.
Refer to paragraph 2.8 on 'Water Quality'.
For the generation of compressed air for the operation of the pneumatic control
system, the autoclave is equipped with an air compressor, suitable for continuous
operation, and achieving compressed air with the required pressure of 6-8 bar.
The user has access to the control panel of the air compressor that includes:
1. pressure reducer
2. gauge indicating the air pressure of the 5
2
internal tank 3
3 gauge indicating the utilized air pressure 4
4. compressed air outlet tap for utilization
5. overload with manual reset 1
6. operation switch. (power on/off)

Thermal Protection
The motor of the compressor is fitted with an automatic thermal switch with
manual reset located on compressor’s control panel (4). When the thermal switch
is tripped, wait a few minutes and manually reset the switch. If the disconnection
repeats, do not reset the switch again, but check the causes of the start-up failure
of the electric motor and, if necessary, contact the service technician.
Panel Removal
Unfasten the lock screws to remove the side panels. See the fig.1 drawing:
Water Drainage
Release the condensate from the air receiver at least once a week by opening the
discharge tap (7) and slanting the compressor slightly. It is recommended to drain
the condensate with the tank under pressure of maximum 2 bar. See also Fig. 2.
drawing:
Drain Control
The compressor is equipped with an automatic drain system.
This system includes two timers: (see picture below), one for setting the length of
drainage (0 – 10 Sec.) and one to set the interval between the drain operations (0
– 45 min.).
Outlet to drain
The electric system of the autoclave comprises of the power circuits, including the
commands, switching and protective components, required for the operation of the
electric equipment of the machine.
The following parts are located in the electric box, mounted on the side of the
autoclave and having the dimensions 40 x 30 x 20 cms.
♦ The contactor for the drive of the heaters.
♦ The solid state relays for the command of the heaters, water pump and
vacuum pump.
♦ The circuit breakers for protection of all power circuits.
♦ The power supply for powering of electronic circuitry and solenoid
valves.
♦ Two protective relays.
♦ The wiring and connection elements.
The power circuits of the steam generator and the vacuum system are connected
to the live terminals in the electric box at a three-phase voltage, 3 x 380V, 50 Hz.
It is important to achieve a steadfast grounding screw connection to the
metal-sheet enclosure of the electric box and metal parts of the autoclave.
The grounding installation at the customer’s site must be built in compliance with
the local laws and regulations in force and International EN 61010-1 electrical
safety standards and certified by the competent authorities.
Only authorized electricians are allowed to serve the electrical system!
The three-phase heating circuits of the steam generator are driven by contactor
and protected by circuit breakers one on each phase. The command signal for the
contactor is output by the microcontroller through a solid state relay.
The water pump of the generator and the vacuum pump are driven by the solid
state relays, the command signals are output by the microcontroller system.
The command circuits are energized by a power supply with four outputs, as
indicated below:
♦ 5 VDC for the digital circuits.
♦ 24 VDC for the solenoid valves.
The coils of the solenoid valves are connected with an end at +24V and with the
other end to the control output of the controller.
The command is active; i.e. the solenoid valve is actuated when the control
voltage output is low (less than 2V) with respect to ground.
Circuit breakers attain the protection of the electric and electronic circuits operated
in direct current and current limiting circuits, inside the power supply stabilizers.
Two protective relays are designed to stop the pumps operation in case of
interruption of the other phases and save the important data from the RAM
memory in case of power failure.
The distilled or mineral – free water supplied to the steam generator shall be
according to the table below:
Attention:
The use of water for autoclaves that do not comply with the table above may
have severe impact on the working life of the sterilizer and can invalidate the
manufacturer’s guarantee.
2.7.2 Water for the Vacuum System and the Drain Cooling
The feed water supplied to the liquid ring vacuum pump must meet the
following requirements:
A Reverse Osmosis system may be used to improve the quality of the water used
to generate steam in the steam generator. The use of mineral free will contribute
to better performance and longer life of the autoclave.
b. The use of mineral free water and mineral neutralized water will contribute to better
performance and longer life of the steam generator and the vacuum pump.
A Reverse Osmosis system may be used to improve the quality of the water used
to generate steam in the steam generator.
In RO, the water is forced through a semi-penetrable membrane, which filters out
contaminants to a high degree of efficiency. In deionisation (DI) ions and charged
particles are removed either by electric fields or by ion exchange in resin beds.
Although the RO cannot normally attain the degree of purity possible with the DI
methods, it is more than adequate for the feed water intended for clean-steam
generators.
Moreover the RO has several advantages:
1. RO is cheaper to run than DI.
2. RO removes particulate matter, organic molecules and pyrogens that DI
cannot remove
3. RO water is less corrosive to steel and copper than DI water.
4. RO maintenance requirements are less demanding than those of the DI
units.
Therefore the use of mineral free water will contribute to better performance and
longer life of the autoclave.
NOTE!
Please consult a water specialist.
Digital Inputs
The digital inputs are φ/1:
♦ open/close for door positions
♦ safety cut-off switches
♦ pressure cut-off switches
♦ cut-off switches for water level
The input voltage will not exceed 24VDC. The input must be protected from high
voltages by means of an Opto-coupler.
Digital Outputs
Digital outputs are used to activate solenoid valves, relays and SSR for the pumps
and heating elements.
The command is 24 VDC, but this will be able to be changed and allowed to move
between 10-30VDC.
Each output is up to 2A, however all the outputs together will not have a capacity
greater than 110 W.
Performance description:
Residual air is displaced due to 3 vacuum pulses (down to 25 kPa) and 2
steam pulses up to 160 kPa. The third vacuum pulse is followed with
introducing saturated (controlled) steam into the chamber to the required
sterilization temperature.
Fast exhaust this stage is performed by discharging rapidly the pressure from
the chamber. When the pressure reaches 115 kPa, the vacuum pump is
activated till a pressure drop to 25 kPa.
Note:
The pressure of the chamber must be below 115 kPa to enable the door to be
opened.

The vacuum pump could get locked after a prolonged idle period.
Further described, the procedure to follow in order to unlock and restore the
normal operation of the pump.
1. When pump is operated for the first time, check if it works normally. If not, stop
the electric current immediately.
2. Do not open the pump and by no means, try to free the rotor shaft, by forcibly
rotating the impeller, which can provoke an irreversible damage to the pump.
3. Further described the way to proceed, for restoring the normal operation of the
pump.
a. Unscrew the pipes connected to the pump and pour in a quantity of 200ml.
of edible vinegar available at any grocery shop.
Leave the pump in this situation for ½ to 1 hour.
b. By means of a screwdriver, rotate in clockwise direction the shaft of the
pump on which the cooling fan of the motor is mounted.
The shaft will be unlocked and the pump is ready for operation.
To check if the oil content in the tank is as required perform the following:
Open the door to the lower position.
Verify that when the door is open, the oil content in the oil tank is 80% of full
capacity.
If the oil content in the tanks is below or over the required quantity add or
remove oil according to the following instructions:
1. When the door is in “open” position disconnect the compressed air supply to
the autoclave (1).
2. Add oil through the oil filling plug (2) or remove oil from the tank using the
drain manual valve (3).
3. Close well the drain valve and filling plug (as appropriate).

PCS Target platform – Cat Technologies LTD. controlling system based on PCS
card.
Overview
XPCS is a Data exchange program that lets you perform downloading of PCS
code, downloading/uploading analog inputs gain and offset values. The program
using PCS communication module, to connect between target platform and PC.
XPCS Aim
• Download PCS code data.
• Calibration.
Minimum Requirements
• Pentium processor or equivalent.
• 32MB of RAM, 32 MB of free hard drive space.
• CD-ROM drive.
• Available serial communication port.
• Windows 9X/NT 4.
User Requirements
To operate this program, user needs a basic knowledge of PCS.
Installation
• Select the CD drive by double click on him.
• When the window open find and double click on the file "setup.exe"
• This will launch the installer, follow the on screen instructions.
In 'Baudrate' text box type the PCS Target platform baud rate. Usually the value
is: 19200.
'Connection Timeout' is the waiting time in seconds to requested data form the
PCS target platform. If no data is retrieved from the target after the waiting time,
the program generates a communication time error.
'Dial Time Out' is a waiting time in seconds to be used by the local modem trying
to connect to the remote modem. After this time has elapsed, the program
generates a timeout error.
If 'Get and Set Parameters' checked, when program performing download, all
parameters will be stored before PCS code downloading and restored after
downloading is completed.
Note: Because the PCS target platform parameters saving process are
complex, restoring Parameters task takes long time (few minutes)!
Note: There is no need to edit options every time that the program starts
running. The program saves the settings by pressing the 'OK' button and
starts up with the last settings.
By pressing 'Connect' button, the program will try to connect to the remote PCS
Target. Opening connection between remote PCS Target and PC, performs the
following tasks:
• Check if COM Port is available.
• Detect modem.
• Dial a phone number.
• Wait for connection establishment.
• Check if remote target platforms are connected.
If one of the tasks fails, the program will abort connection process and will display
relevant error message.
After connection was established, the main XPCS window will be displayed.
Calibration window
The calibration window will try to connect with the PCS Target platform. The
connection tasks are:
• Check if target is connected. In the status bar "Looking for machine…"
is displayed.
• Upload all 16 Analog inputs gain and offset values. In the status bar
"Uploading Gain & Offset…" is displayed.
• Uploading analog inputs values. In the status bar "Connected" is
displayed. This task is performed periodically every 500 milliseconds.
This allows real time refreshing of the analog inputs values.
When the program is connected, by double clicking on one of the input table
rows, the program will display the calibration tool. With this tool you can calibrate
the selected analog input.
Min and Max – limits for gain and offset values. If the ADMC compatible type file
is not found, Min and Max labels will show "N/A".
Note: When Min and Max are N/A, you must be very careful, because the
gain and offset values are not limited in this case and wrong gain or offset
values may be inserted.
Upload button – Press this button to upload gain and offset values from the
target platform. All 16 analog inputs gain and offset values will be uploaded.
Calculation
Calculate Gain and Offset values by inserting the following 4 values: Actual High,
Actual Low, Read High and Read Low to the formula. For more information about
Gain and offset calculation see User Manual supplied with PCS Target platform.
Pressing 'Calculate' button will calculate new Gain and Offset values. The new
values will be displayed in the Gain and Offset text boxes.
Close button
Pressing this button will close 'Calibration' window and display main XPCS
window.
Download window
Note: No need to select type file, if the requested file name is already
displayed on the button (In the example above: "LabTn2.DWN").
'Download' Button
Press this button to perform downloading of the selected file. While performing
downloading, the program will display downloading process progress messages.
After downloading process is completed, the status bar will display "Download
Finished".
Download Tasks
• Check if PCS Target is connected. Status message: "Looking for
machine..." is displayed.
• If 'Get and Set Gain & Offset' option in 'Options' window is selected,
the program will upload values of all analog inputs gain and offset. The
message: "Uploading Gain and Offset..." will be displayed in the status
bar.
• If 'Get and Set Parameters' option in 'Options' window is selected, and
downloaded file type is ADMC compatible, the program will upload all
parameters of the current selected program (e.g.: 1-instruments). The
message: "Uploading Parameters..." will be displayed in the status bar.
• Download file. The program will display 'Downloading…' dialog window
with progress bar and counter of the downloaded packets:
Note: If error occurs during download process, relevant error massage will
be displayed. The message box with 'Retry' option will be displayed.
Note: Upload and Download green messages of the Parameters and Gain &
Offset tasks are displayed only if the relevant options were selected in the
'Options' window.
Illegal Baudrate: …
Description: This message is displayed when the user is pressing 'OK' button in
the 'Options' window.
Reason: Wrong Baud rate is inserted.
Tips: Type values 9600 or 19200 in 'Baudrate' text box.
