Sterilizer Operation Operator Manual 387366-389
JACKET DRAIN PHASE: Jacket drains after chamber exhausts to
4.0 psig (0.28 bar). Phase ends after 5 minutes and when chamber
pressure is less than 1 psig (0.07 bar).
DEACTIVATE SEAL PHASE: Door unseals until seal pressure switch
opens, and 20 seconds has elapsed.
COMPLETE PHASE: Cycle is complete. Open door and unload
chamber. Once door is open, display returns to main operating mode
screen.
6.15 Cycle Abort
A cycle may abort for one of two reasons; (1) the operator pressed the
ABORT button or (2) an alarm caused the cycle to abort. An example
of a Cycle Abort screen is as follows:
When an operator presses the ABORT button, the cycle aborts to the
fast or slow exhaust phase [see note] to relieve the chamber of
pressure and the printer prints:
*CYCLE ABORTED BY OPERATOR
NOTE: If the purge phase has not yet run, the cycle aborts to the
Deactivate Seal phase.
When the cycle ends the operating mode screen is displayed.
6.16 Double Doors
Sterilizers equipped with double doors include an additional display
on the non-operating end door panel. The non-operating end display
includes the same functionality as the operating-end display, including
buttons to seal and unseal the door.
The operating-end includes a printer. The non-operating end can
include a printer, as an option.
See S
ECTION 6.20.2, INTERLOCKS for additional information on door
interlocks.

temperature probe (RTD) sealed through the chamber vessel. The
probe is manually located by the operator in the product container
within the chamber. In conjunction with this load probe option, the
microcomputer control allows operator selection of two sterilization
time measurement control modes. These modes are labeled:
STER CTRL=DRAIN and STER CTRL=LOAD/DRAIN.
