6.2.1 Sterilizers equipped with Automatic Generator Blow-down
If your sterilizer’s generator is equipped with Automatic Generator Blow-down, the
water in the generator will flush upon shutdown. The generator’s On-Off switch is
located on the lower right side above the service panel on SSR series (see figure 4.4), and
on the right side above the chamber on the SR series sterilizers.
6.3 Sterilizers with Automatic Jacket Blow-down
If your sterilizer is equipped with Auto Jacket Blow-down, then during the exhaust phase
of the Fluid cycle the sterilizer allows the jacket and chamber to cool at the same time.
The steam supply is shut off to the sterilizer’s jacket and the jacket exhaust relay is
energized.
The above process occurs automatically every time you run a Fluid cycle with your
machine. Because of this, you need to reset the Jacket pressure by pressing the Jacket
Reset Button (see figure 2.1) after you run a Fluid cycle in order to allow the steam
pressure to build back up in the Jacket. The green Jacket Light (see figure 2.1) will be on
to indicate that the red Reset Jacket Button needs to be pressed in order to pressurize the
Jacket for your next cycle.
