2.2.11 Safety devices
Thesteriliserisequippedwiththefollowingsafetydevices:
- Mains fuses
These protect the equipment from faults in the heating elements by disconnecting the electric power supply.
- Electronic circuit protection fuses
These prevent faults in the transformer primary circuit and low-voltage loads by disconnecting one or more low-
voltage circuits.
- Safety valve
This prevents any overpressure in the sterilisation chamber by releasing steam to restore a safe pressure. It opens
at a pressure of 350kPa (±10%).
- Steam generator thermal switch
This stops the steam generator from overheating by disconnecting its electrical power supply. It trips at a tempe-
ratureof220°C±7°C.
- Chamber thermal switch
This protects the pressure vessel heating element from overheating by disconnecting its electric power supply. It
tripsatatemperatureof150°C±4°C.
- Door lock mechanism safety microswitch
This provides feedback when the door and the door lock system are not in the correct position or when the door
lock mechanism is not working correctly.
- Pressure switch
This prevents the door from being opened accidentally during the program when the machine is pressurised (even
in the event of a blackout).
