Pressure transducer alarm
This is triggered when transducer 38 in the steriliser is disconnected or faulty.
The steriliser shows this alarm during operation when the transducer detects a pressure of
less than 30 mbars.
• Check the connection of transducer 38 to connector CN11.
• Replace the transducer if faulty.
• Check the pressure setting following the instructions shown in the STERILISATION
TEMPERATURE BAND ALARM section.
Manual stop alarm
This indicates that that STOP was pressed during a cycle before the cycle was completed.
The steriliser displays this alarm during operation and stops to inform the user that the load
MAY NOT BE STERILE.
• This is not a failure but a cycle stop override caused by the operator. For this reason,
there are no operations to be performed but the load MAY NON BE STERILE. A new
sterilisation cycle must be started.
Note: Manual cycle stops should always be avoided unless in case of extreme need. If the
steriliser has already performed the fractioned vacuum or pressurisation phases, the
material inside could be wet and the steriliser may not start properly. Dry the material well
and change the bags.
Power missing alarm
This indicates that a power blackout occurred during a cycle.
The steriliser displays this alarm when power is restored. The cycle and the phase when
the blackout occurred will appear on the display.
The last alarm will appear if the blackout occurred in presence of an alarm.
• On the basis of the message on the display, you can infer if the steriliser managed
to complete the sterilising cycle or not despite the power blackout.
A blackout may be caused by various reasons:
- the steriliser was accidentally switched off by means of main switch 13;
- mains blackout;
- power cable 03 not plugged in correctly or damaged;
- blown fuses 32.
Event alarm
This indicates that one of the timed phases (sterilisation, drying or vacuum test hold) was
not completed correctly.
