Safety Instructions
The autoclave has unique characteristics. Please read and understand the operation
instructions provided by the manufacturer before the first operation of the autoclave.
The following issues may require clarification: The operation of the autoclave; the
door safety mechanism; the door closing mechanism; the dangers involved in
circumventing safety means; and finally, the selection of an appropriate sterilization
program.
Make sure that you know the placement of the main power switch, the position of the
water cut-off valve, where the steam and compressed air disconnection valves are
located.
Autoclave maintenance is crucial for the correct and efficient function of the device.
The daily B&D test and the weekly spore test are part of the preventive maintenance
plan, along with the annual validation of the sterilization processes that ensures
appropriate temperature dispersion within the chamber.
Warning!
Never use the autoclave to sterilize corrosive products and chemicals, such as:
acids, bases and phenols, volatile compounds or solutions such ethanol,
methanol or chloroform nor radioactive substances.
Safety Operating Instructions
1. NEVER start a new autoclave nor a new steam generator, before the safety,
licensing, and authorization, department has not approved it for use.
2. All autoclave users must receive training in proper usage from an experienced
employee. Every new employee must undergo a training period under an
experienced employee.
3. A written procedure must be established for autoclave operation, including: Daily
safety tests; seal inspection and door hinge inspection; smooth action of the
closing mechanism; chamber cleaning; prevention of clogging; preservation from
corrosion; and finally, what is permitted and what is prohibited for sterilization and
choosing a sterilization program.
4. If there is a steam generator – drain it daily.
5. If there is an air compressor – drain it daily.
6. Before use, check inside the autoclave chamber to ensure that no items have
been left from a previous cycle.
7. Before loading the autoclave, clean the strainer on the chamber floor.
8. Load trays in such a way as to allow steam to move freely among all items.
9. Liquids may be sterilized only with the “liquids” program. The container must be
covered but not sealed. Sealed bottles may only be sterilized using a special
program. The bottle must be either Pyrex or a Borosilicate glass bottle.
10. When sterilizing plastic materials, make sure that the item can withstand
sterilization temperature. Plastic that melts in the chamber is liable to cause a
great deal of damage.
MAN205-0079016EN Rev. A Oct. 2012
Page 2 of 127 pages
11. Individual glass bottles may be placed within an appropriate container that will be
placed on a tray. Never place glass bottles on the floor of the autoclave. Never fill
more than 2/3 of the bottle volume.
12. On closing the autoclave door, make sure that it is properly locked before
activating.
13. Verify once again that you have chosen the appropriate sterilization program.
14. Before withdrawing trays, wear heat resistant gloves.
15. Before opening the door, verify that there is no pressure in the chamber
(chamber pressure gauge is located on the autoclave's front panel).
16. Open the door slowly to allow steam to escape and wait 5 minutes before you
remove the load. When sterilizing liquids, wait 10 minutes.
17. Once a month, ensure that the safety valves are operating; and once a year, that
a certified inspector performs a chamber pressure safety test.
18. Once annually, or more frequently, effective tests must be performed, i.e.,
calibration and validation.
19. Check the condition of assemblies on a regular basis. Make sure there are no
leaks, breaks, blockages, whistles or strange noises.
20. Perform maintenance operations as instructed.
21. Notify the person in charge immediately of any deviation or risk of proper function
of the device.
22. It is strictly forbidden for any person to enter the autoclave’s chamber. If, for any
reason (for cleaning, maintenance or if something falls down), it is necessary to
enter the chamber, the person must lock and take the key out of the system,
keeping the key on him, to prevent accidents and injuries.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This autoclave is a sterilizer, designed to cover a large field of applications for
hospitals and medical centers as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnological
industries.
The autoclave operates with saturated steam as the sterilizing agent, and has a
temperature range of up to 137C (279ºF) and pressure up to 2.3 bar (34psi).
The autoclave is equipped with a 36 kW built-in steam generator. There is a selector
switch on the Front Panel to choose the steam source. To change the steam source
to the internal steam generator, see “Switching to the Steam Generator” section in
“Operating Instructions”.
The electronic circuitry and software programming of the programmable control
system are designed to operate:
1. 3 programs for unwrapped loads.
2. 4 programs for wrapped loads.
3. 3 programs requiring slow pressure exhaust.
4. Eight generic programs for future changes.
5. Two test programs: The Bowie & Dick test and the Leakage test.
All programs, except the test programs, can be changed by operator with the
appropriate authorization level.
The control system of the sterilizer is based on 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
parameters and starting the operation, no further intervention is necessary.
The autoclave is equipped with one vertical sliding door. The door is operated by two
hydro-pneumatics cylinders mounted laterally on both sides of the door. Each
cylinder contains an integrated and separated oil system. The operation of the
cylinders is performed by air pressure and the oil system acts as a speed control
system. An adjustable restrictor in each cylinder controls the flow of the oil from one
side to the other, controlling the speed movement of the door. See the SERVICING
INSTRUCTIONS chapter for servicing the units.
The sealing of the chamber is achieved through heat resistant silicone gasket,
located in a groove around the door opening of the autoclave. The gasket is pressed
against the door by steam pressure introduced into the groove, behind the gasket.
The interlocking system of the door is based on the following opening conditions:
The door cannot be opened while the autoclave is in operation.
The door cannot be opened if the chamber is under pressure.
The door cannot be opened if there is liquid in the chamber.
The door cannot be opened at the end of the cycle if the chamber
temperature is higher than the preset final temperature.
MAN205-0079016EN Rev. A Oct. 2012
Page 4 of 127 pages
The system is equipped with two temperature sensors, three pressure transducers,
four pressure gauges and five door safety devices having the following functions:
Temperature sensors:
1. In the drain – control
2. In the condensate line (double): For control, monitoring, and printout
Pressure transducers:
1. Chamber pressure (control, monitoring and printout).
2. Jacket pressure (control and monitoring).
3. Door gasket (control).
Pressure gauges:
On Front Panel
Four gauges indicate the pressure in the chamber, jacket, door gasket and the
steam generator.
The door safety devices:
1 The RT112 pressure switch – prevents the opening of the door if there is pressure
in the chamber.
2 The ALCO pressure switch – prevents the operating of the door if there is no
vacuum in the door gasket.
3 The VM830 SMC pneumatic switch – prevents steam entering the chamber or the
door gasket if the door is not closed.
4 The GICAR Controller – prevents opening of the door if there is any liquid in the
chamber.
5 The Door Safety Bar – prevents trapping any objects between the door and the
frame.
The autoclave has an EMERGENCY STOP push-button and a key mounted on the
front panel. The emergency switch, when activated disconnects all electrical power to
the autoclave.
The key must be used to restore the operation of the autoclave to normal.
The controls of the autoclave is performed through Touch Screen Panel located on the
front panel and enable the operator to select a program, to start and stop a cycle, and
open or close the door. The operation through the Touch Screen is restricted by the
security level of the user.
The selected program, the main phases of the cycle, and the status of the machine are
displayed on Touch Screen. For process documentation, the important information
concerning operation is printed.
MAN205-0079016EN Rev. A Oct. 2012
Page 5 of 127 pages
A programming mode, which can be entered by authorized operator from the Touch
Screen Panel enables to set-up the system, change the existing parameters, set a
number of additional parameters and operation modes, and performing a calibration.
Optionally, a personal computer can be connected to the control system, with SCADA
HMI. The PC, operating under WINDOWS, displays the status, data, and processing in
real time in graphic and digital form at the same time records and logs the data.
The communication PC-control unit enables the complete control of the autoclave
through the PC, including program selection, starting and stopping a cycle, calibration
of pressure and temperature during operation, setting of parameters and the real time
clock (date and time of the day).
Warnings!
Do not operate the autoclave in the presence of dangerous gases and vapors.
It is strictly forbidden for any person to enter the autoclave chamber.
If, for any reason (for cleaning, maintenance or if something falls down), it is
necessary to enter the chamber, the person must shut the system by actuating
the emergency switch, withdrawing the key and keeping the key on him, to

3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 The Steam Generator
A built-in steam generator is installed to act as a standby if building steam is not
available for the sterilization process. See “Starting the Steam Generator” section for
steam generator operation.
The steam generator is an electrically-heated type, equipped with immersion heaters,
divided into three-phases. The power consumption of the generator is 36 kW.
Water to the steam generator is supplied by a one-phase pump, from a water
reservoir, which is connected to a source of distilled or de-mineralized water. The
electrical system of the steam generator is located in a separate electric box.
The water level control system consists of three electrodes connected to the GICAR
2DRLHG controller, which commands the operation of the water pump and servo
solenoid valve to switch OFF the heating current in case of lack of water or low water
level.
Use only distilled or mineral-free water for the operation of the generator!
Caution!
It is strictly forbidden to use soft water; this may results in corrosion of the
generator.
Warning!
Only a qualified electrician may perform the electrical connections!
The electrical units should not be placed near water sources.
When servicing the generator, disconnect the all electrical power supplies to
the unit. This is done by switching OFF the main power supply switch, or by
un-plugging the electrical power main supply cords.
It is important to achieve an electrical good grounding connection to the sheet
metal enclosure of the electric box and metal parts of the generator.
The earth installation at the customer’s site must be built in compliance with
the laws and regulations in force, and should meet international electrical
safety standards, and be certified by competent authorities.

3.1.1 Generator Electrical Safety System
There is an electrical safety system to protect the heating element if a fault condition
is detected by any one of the safety devices, namely:
Water level too low
Pressure too high
Temperature too high, (if applicable)
The fault light on the generator box will light up, and the main heater circuit breakers
will be switched OFF

If this happens, do not try to correct the fault yourself, but call for assistance.
3.1.2 The Water Pump for the Steam Generator
It supplies the mineral-free water to the steam generator.
The supply line of the pump is connected to the water reservoir filled with mineral-
free or distilled 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
the lower level limit.

3.1.3 GICAR Water Level Controller
The water level control system consists of three electrodes. (HIGH and LOW water
level), and a reference electrode, all connected to the GICAR 2DRLHG controller.
The long electrode which is continuously immersed in the water, acts as a reference
and is connected to ground.
The medium electrode (LOW level electrode) controls the water heaters. When it
stops sensing water, the GICAR controller stops the current to the water heaters.
When it senses water, the GICAR controller restores current to the water heaters.
The short electrode (HIGH level electrode), controls the water pump. When it senses
water, the GICAR controller stops the current to the water pump and simultanausly
closes water suply shut off valve. When it stops sensing water, the GICAR controller
restores the current to the water pump and simultanausly opens water suply shut off
valve.

3.3 The Pneumatic Control System
The control of the pneumatic valves is done through compressed air, as described
below:
The pneumatic valves are of two types:
1. Air-open and air-close valves -These valves come only in pairs (94 & 53). Air
activated control type valves are fitted with two commands: an opening command
received through a solenoid valve at a pressure of 6 bars - by the control system, and
at the same time the opposite valve in the pair receives a closing command from the
same solenoid valve, each valve in the pair is operating opposite to the second one.
2. Air-open and spring-close valves
Air activated and spring return. The opening command is received from a solenoid
valve at a pressure of 6 bar - output by the control system and a permanent closing,
by a built-in spring in every valve.
The pneumatic control system is built as follows:
(see Pneumatic Drawing)
The solenoid valve battery is mounted on a manifold branch base, through which the
solenoids are connected to the compressed air supply.
The compressed air supply at a pressure of 6-8 bar is regulated by a pressure
reducer to 6 bar and transmitted to the inlet of the pilot solenoid valve battery.
A non-return valve mounted between the outlet side of the manifold branch and the
pressure regulator prevents the back flow of air from the solenoid battery.
When solenoid valve receives signal from the controller, the valve opens and
compress air is transfer to operate the pneumatic valve(s).
Solenoid-operating valves
In addition to the solenoid valves which control the air-operated valves, the
pneumatic system also has solenoid valves which have a direct action as described
below:
Close door valve (39); is servo solenoid valve which transmits compressed air to the
door operating cylinders for closing the door.
Open door valve (38); is servo solenoid valve which transmits compressed air to
door operating cylinders for opening the door.
Pneumatic door safety measures:
a. The SMS VM830 End Switch prevents accidental steam from entering the
chamber, or/and air pressure entering the gasket, as long as the door is open. When
the door is opened, air is not supplied to the solenoid valve or the valve operator.
Only when the door is closed is air supplied to the solenoid valve; valves 93 & 34 are
activated; and the operation will be performed.
b. The RT 112 pressure switch prevents opening of the door if the pressure in the
chamber is above 115kPa.
c. The ALCO pressure switch prevents the door from operating if there is no
vacuum in the door gasket.

3.5 The Vacuum Pump and the Heat Exchanger
For a vacuum to be created in the air-removal and dry stages, the autoclave is
equipped with water ring seal vacuum pump – Speck V30, suitable for continuous
operation, and for achieving high vacuum.
The water necessary for the operation of the pump is supplied by the water reservoir,
connected to the tap water source.
The water level in the reservoir is maintained by mechanical float valve.
A float switch mounted on the lower side of the reservoir prevents the pump running
in case of low water level in the reservoir.
A condenser (heat exchanger) is mounted on the vacuum pump inlet piping, to cool
down the steam exhaust from chamber before getting inside the pump, using
recycled water from water saving system as a cooling media.
Two important goals are achieved by this action:
1. Reducing the temperature of the fluids flowing through the pump, therefore the
scaling of parts is eliminated.
2. The efficiency of the vacuum pump is greatly improved through the
transformation of steam into condensate, resulting in a dramatic increase in the
vacuum level.
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 'Water Quality'.
Speck Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump V30
UL= connection for ventilation valve UV=connection for drainage valve
UB= connection for operation liquid Ue=drainage (screwed plug)
Note:
Before operating the vacuum pump for the first time, make sure that the pump is free
and you can turn the main axle with a screw driver without force.
Verify that the pump motor turns in the right direction.

1. This screen enables the user to calibrate the analog temperature and pressure
sensors connected to the controller.
2. The calibration may be performed in two ways, a calibration in two points and
calibration in one point.
In each one of the calibrations an additional "Reference" sensor must be used
to test that the expected value effectively corresponds to the actual Reference
sensor value. This Reference sensor needs to have a valid calibration
certificate.
Note:
In case a sensor needs to be calibrated, it is recommended first to press on the default
icon "Default" and to see if the sensor is calibrated by testing the sensor at different
values and comparing them with the Reference sensor. In case the values are bigger
than 0.5% of the sensor's maximal reading range, there is need to calibrate according
to the procedure below.
In addition it is recommended, before any new or additional calibration to press
"Default" first and then to calibrate again if necessary.
The three points recommended for testing the sensor are in the device's working range
during the process, such as:
Temperature: 25……80……134oC (77……176……273oF).
Pressure: 5……100……304kPa (0.7……14.5……44psia).
To calibrate the abovementioned sensors use certified and standard calibrating
tools. In parallel act according to the tool's manufacturer instructions and refer
to the attached calibration guide.
MAN205-0079016EN Rev. A Oct. 2012
Page 50 of 127 pages
Two Points Calibration:
a. In the pressure or temperature calibration row – select the sensor number
that has to be calibrated by pressing on the "#" icon. Following the selection
verify in the Tag frame that the name actually corresponds to the sensor
you intended to calibrate; if it is different, select another sensor.
b. Bring the pressure or the temperature to a desirable low value. After the
sensor reading stabilizes – (it is possible to see in the "PV" frame that the
reading is stable), enter the value which figures on the Reference sensor
into the "Low Cal" frame and check that the "PV" has been updated
correspondingly.
c. Bring the pressure or the temperature to a desirable high value. After the
sensor reading stabilizes (it is possible to see in the "PV" frame that the
reading is stable), enter the value figuring on the Reference sensor into the
"High Cal" frame and check that the "PV" has been updated
correspondingly.
d. Following the entry of the two values (the low and the high), it is necessary
to press on "Save".
e. Return to the low value and check that the "PV" sensor reading is identical
to the Reference sensor reading (0.5% of the maximal sensor's reading
range).
One Point Calibration:
a. In the pressure or temperature calibration row – select the sensor number
that has to be calibrated by pressing on the "#" icon. Following the selection
verify in the Tag frame that the name actually corresponds to the sensor
you had intention to calibrate; if it is different, select another sensor.
b. Bring the pressure or the temperature to a desirable working value. Once
the sensor reading stabilizes (it is possible to see in the "PV" frame that the
reading is stable), enter the value figuring on the Reference sensor into the
"High Cal" frame and check that the "PV" has been updated
correspondingly.
c. Once the value has been entered, press "Save".
d. Bring the pressure or the temperature to a different value (a high difference
is desirable for verifying good linearity); once it has stabilized, compare the
sensor that you are calibrating with the Reference sensor (0.5% of the
maximal sensor's reading range).
3. Switching to the Machine Control and Technician's Menu screens is performed

5.1 Printer Operation
The autoclave is equipped with a character printer, which prints a detailed history of
each cycle performed by the instrument (for the record or for subsequent
consideration).
The printing is done on thermal paper with 24 characters per line and contains the
following information:
Software version (is printed only when power is turned ON)
Real time
Selected program
Sterilization pressure
Sterilization temperature
Sterilization time
Dry time
When the sterilization cycle begins the printer starts printing the above data.
After the preliminary printing, the autoclave starts performing the sequence of
operations of the cycle. The measured values of temperature and pressure are printed
at fixed time intervals, according to the phase of the process, as shown in the table on
the next page.
The data is printed from the bottom up, beginning with the date and ending with “O.K.”
for a complete cycle or “FAIL” for an aborted cycle.
For an example of a typical printout, see next page.

Program: 1 Unwrapd A (Process Sample)
This program is intended for rigid, (i.e. instruments), and other goods, which their
manufacturers declare their compliance with conditions for sterilization as set below:
Sterilization temperature 121ºC
Sterilization time 15 minutes
Drying time 2 minutes
Caution!
Care should be taken to preserve the sterility of un-wrapped instruments in a
non-sterile environment.
Performance Description:
Residual air is displaced by 4 vacuum pulses down to 20kPa, and 4 pressure pulses
up to 180kPa. The 4th pressure pulse is followed by introduction of saturated
(controlled) steam into the chamber to the required sterilization temperature.
Sterilization is controlled in such a way that the sterilization temperature remains
constant, and will not increase by more than 3ºC. The steam conditions are controlled
in such a way that the fluctuation of pressure does not allow a drop below 1kPa,
neither an increase of 3kPa, above the high limit of the Ste. Temperature.
Fast exhaust is a stage at which the pressure is rapidly discharged from the chamber.
The vacuum pump is activated to create a vacuum in the chamber for drying.
Drying is achieved by evacuating the vapor from the chamber in an "under-pressure”
phase for a period of 2 minutes.
Pressure equilibration enables the door to be opened. Air is introduced into the
chamber through a microbiological filter until equilibrium is reached with atmospheric
pressure.
Important: In order to obtain good sterilization results, dry time is essential.

7 PREPARATION BEFORE STERILIZATION
Warning!
During loading and unloading use safety gloves and glasses in accordance with
local safety regulations and good practice.
Precautions:
Use heat resistant gloves.
Instruments to be sterilized must be washed, disinfected and dry.
1. Wash instruments immediately after use, to dispose of any residue.
Follow manufacturer's instructions on the use of instruments/washing etc. for
cleaning and lubricating. Before placing an instrument into the sterilizer tray,
make sure that instruments composed of different (stainless steel, carbon steel,
etc.) are separated and placed in different trays.
Note:
Check manufacturer instructions for sterilization of each item.
2. If carbon steel instruments are used with stainless steel trays, the tray should
be lined with a towel or paper wrap before placing the instrument. There should
be no direct contact between the carbon steel and the stainless steel trays.
3. Before placing an instrument into the sterilization tray, make sure that carbon
steel instruments are not in contact with stainless steel instruments. These
instruments should be separated and placed on different trays.
4. All instruments must be sterilized in an open position.
5. Place a sterilization indicator strip in each tray.
6. Once a week use a biological spore test indicator in any load to ensure
sterilization.
7. Make sure that all the instruments remain apart during the sterilization cycle.
8. Empty canisters should be placed upside-down in order to prevent
accumulation of water.
9. Do not overload sterilizer trays. Overloading will cause inadequate sterilization
and drying.
10. Allow a distance of approximately 2.5 cm between trays to permit circulation of
steam.
11. Wrapped instruments should be packed in material which promotes drying,
such as autoclave bag, autoclave paper and muslin towels.
Note:
Verify that the packaging method is in accordance with good practice approach
and the packaging materials are in accordance with the applicable standards
(e.g. EN868 series).
MAN205-0079016EN Rev. A Oct. 2012
Page 78 of 127 pages
Tubing
Rinse tubing after cleaning with pyrogen free water. When placing in tray, ensure that
both ends are open, without sharp bends or twists.
Packs
Place packs upright on trays, side by side.
Packs should not touch the chamber walls.
Sterilization of Liquids
Note:
Liquids can only be sterilized in an autoclave with two temperature sensors in
the chamber
Use only heat-proof glass, filled ⅔ full.
Ensure that the glass container is covered but not sealed to prevent pressure build-up.
7.1 Loading
Every machine is supplied either with two (or more) stainless steel shelves, or with
rails for a loading cart from a transfer carriage.
The loading cart is made of stainless steel and is adjusted by height of transfer
carriage to the height of the rails in the sterilizer chamber. It is designed to slide
smoothly off the carriage into the sterilization chamber.
The carriage moves on four heavy-duty castors, two of them are equipped with brakes.
The carriage is constructed with two spring loaded securing hooks on the front.
The hooks are holding the carriage attached to the autoclave during loading or
unloading the cart.
Caution!
It is strictly forbidden to load or unload the loading cart, if the transfer carriage
is not connected by the hooks to the autoclave and the brakes are not applied.
When loading the materials to be sterilized into the chamber, observe the rules
described in this chapter.
Do not overload the loading cart or the shelves as this can have adverse effects on the
results of the sterilization and drying. Leave space between the packs or wrapped
instruments to allow complete removal of air pockets in the air removal stage, and for
free penetration of steam in the heating and sterilization stages.

7.2 Unloading
1. When the buzzer signals the successful completion of a cycle, open the door and
let the load cool down for several minutes.
2. Hook the transfer carriage firmly to the autoclave, apply the brakes, and roll the
loading cart out of the chamber.
3. Once the loading cart is firmly on the transfer carriage and locked into place,
release the hooks and the brakes, and take the transfer carriage or the containers
aside to cool down.
4. Allow the load to cool down in an area with minimum passing traffic (to avoid the
possibility of touching the hot load), and without air movement (air conditioning,
etc.). Do not touch the hot load. Hot loads absorb moisture and may absorb
bacteria from a hand.
5. Do not transfer a hot load to metal shelves for cooling. Perform a visual inspection
to ascertain that sterilizing indicators have made the required color change, and
that the load is dry.
The load is to be rejected if:
a. The package has been compressed.
b. The package is torn.
c. The load is wet (water droplets signs).
d. The load fell on the floor.
e. Condense can be observed on the lid.
f. The PCD or other Indicator present – Faulty cycle.
Warnings!
During loading and unloading use safety gloves and glasses in accordance with
local safety regulations and good practice.
It is strictly forbidden for any person to enter the autoclave’s chamber.
If, for any reason (for cleaning, maintenance or if something falls down), it is
necessary to enter the chamber, the person must shut the system by actuating
the emergency switch and withdraw the key from the system, keeping the key
on him, to prevent accidents and injuries.
Do not operate the autoclave in the presence of dangerous gases and vapors.
It is strictly forbidden for any person to enter the service area behind the

9.6 The SHURFLO Water Pump Rear EndBell Replacement Kit
Warning
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before initiating any work. In the
case of pump failure, the motor housing and/or the pumped fluid may
carry high voltage to components normally considered safe.
Caution
Relieving pressure within the outlet side of the pump is highly recommended.
Inspect the motor armature/commutator for any indication of the following conditions.
Check the commutator brush contact surface for deep wear, scores, filled/shorted
slots, or a burnt condition. Minimum commutator diameter is .850 in. [21.5 mm] (115
& 23OVAC). Check armature windings for open, shorts, internal ground, and
commutator connections. The windings should not be overheated, black in color, or
have a burnt odor.
If the motor has any indication of the aforementioned or other failure modes, the
EndBell kit will not correct the failed condition. Complete motor assemblies. Contact
Tuttnauer for a complete motor assembly.
Replacement Instructions:
1. Mark the motor housing to index the location of EndBell wires to the
housing.
NOTE:
If the EndBell is improperly indexed to the motor housing (180°) the motor will rotate
in the opposite direction.
2. Remove the two motor assembly screws using a 5/16” socket wrench or
nut driver.
3. Remove the rear EndBell assembly. Inspect for signs of excessive wear on
the commutator and/or armature. Ensure the proper placement of washers
on the shaft as shown.

9.7 Steam Generator Maintenance
9.7.1 Generator Pressure Switches
The generator is equipped with two pressure switches:
1. An Operating control pressure switch - This switch sets the nominal working
pressure and the upper and lower pressure in which the generator turns ON and
OFF.
2. Limit control pressure switch - This switch sets the cut-off pressure of the
generator. If the pressure in the generator increases above the pre-set cut-off
pressure the switch is activated and the power supply to the heating elements is
terminated. To reactivate the generator, press the reset lever located on the
upper part of the pressure switch.
The pressure switches are factory regulated, however, in order to adjust the steam
pressure, follow this procedure:
Adjusting the Pressure Switches
Operating Control Pressure Switch
To set the pressure in which the heating elements turn OFF turn the bronze color
pressure switch knob. Turn it clockwise to decrease pressure and
counterclockwise to increase the pressure.
To set the pressure in which the generator restarts (i.e. the pressure differential
between the turn-OFF and the turn-ON pressures) turn the black color pressure
switch knob. Turn it clockwise to decrease pressure and counterclockwise to
increase the pressure.
The pressure switch will be set to an output steam pressure of
3.5 - 4 bar.
Limit Control Pressure Switch
To set the cut-off pressure, turn the bronze-colored pressure switch knob.
Turn it clockwise to decrease pressure and counter-clockwise to increase
the pressure.
The pressure switch will be set to a cut-off pressure of 5 bar.

No Level - Viewer: Can go only trough operator screens, with no permit for
operation.
Level A - Operator (Oper): Permits user to select and start a cycle, acknowledge
alarms, view main program parameters (Ster. temp, Ster. time, Dry time), start
mode, view Historical Log and print reports.
Level B - Technician (Tech): Allows user to use Operator permission, and in
additional: ability to edit program parameters, edit global and set-points parameters,
ability to calibrate instruments, ability to view inputs, system diagnosis,
activate/deactivate outputs, change date and time.
Level C - Administrator (Admin): allows user to use Technician permissions, and
in additional: ability to edit passwords, machine settings, edit Proportional Integral

Notes:
1. The passwords can be changed in both HMI's.
In the panel HMI, the user's password can be changed by administrator
privilege only. In the SCADA HMI, each user can change his password by
himself.
2. Auto Logoff:
Panel HMI: will Log out the user to the operator level as default while the
Screen saver appears.
SCADA HMI: Will Log out the user to the operator level as default after 30
min.
It is recommended that the user will Logout him self manually on the end of
the work or when he is leaving the user position.
