PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE SENSORS
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
The two absolute pressure sensors are located on the top of the sterilizer.
One monitors and controls the process and the second is
for the built in
printer.
Both sensors connect to the left side of the chamber.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR 6 (PT-100 6)
The sensor that monitors the sterilization process is a “double sensor” (i.e two
separate sensor elements in the same sensor pipe), and provides the signal
both to the controler and the printer. They act independently from each other.
The sensor is fi tted in the outlet drain and can be seen rear under the cham-
ber in the service area. The sensor protrudes approximately 100mm into the
chamber drain from the fi tting (the contact area between the sensor's fl ange
and the nut); this point should be considered as the reference measurement
point. Sensor is also connected to connectes X2 on the circuit board.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
TEMPERATURE SENSOR 5 (PT-100 5)
The sensor to the steam generator is located in the front of the steam gen-
erator and is connected to connector X2 on the circuit board. It regulates the
steam generator temperature (about 250 °C).
TEMPERATURE SENSOR 7 (PT-100 7)
The sensor for the chamber is located on the left-hand side of the chamber
in the heating mat and is connected to connector X2 on the circuit board. Its
function is to regulate the chamber preheating temperature to about 120 °C
with a high pressure program and 110 °C with a low pressure program.
