2.1 Operational Test (See Figure 2-1)
In order to effectively diagnose a malfunction of steril-
izer, it may be necessary to perform an operational test
as follows:
(1) Plug sterilizer power cord into a grounded, ded-
icated, correctly polarized outlet, that has
proper voltage for sterilizer.
(2) Electrical rating for 115 VAC Sterilizer:
115 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 12 amps
Connect to a dedicated branch circuit rated for
115 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 15 amps minimum.
Electrical rating for 230 VAC Sterilizer:
230 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 6.5 amps
Connect to a dedicated branch circuit rated for
220 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 10 amps.
Check label on back panel to verify electrical
specifications required for unit.
(3) Table 2-1, Operational Chart, describes a com-
plete cycle during Normal
operation, identifying
audible signals, various display prompts and
component operation.
(4) Display shows selected program’s parameters
when specific button is pressed.
“UNWRAPPED 270
°F 3 Minutes”.
“FAST VENT 30 MINUTE DRY”.
“POUCHES 270
°F 5 Minutes”.
“FAST VENT 30 MINUTE DRY”.
“PACKS 250°F 15 MINUTES”
“FAST VENT 30 MINUTE DRY”.
“HANDPIECES 270°F 6 MINUTES”
“FAST VENT 30 MINUTE DRY”.
WARNING
Refer to Operator Manual for complete
instructions on operating sterilizer.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
NOTE
Operational Test, for most part, only describes what
should happen when sterilizer is operated. If steril-
izer does something other than described, a problem
has been discovered. Refer to Troubleshooting
Guide to determine cause of problem and its correc-
tion.
WARNING
Use 104 - 127 VAC, 50/60 HZ alternating
current only for 115 VAC rated models
and 207 - 253 VAC, 50/60 HZ alternating current
only for 230 VAC rated models. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock to personnel and
will result in damage to sterilizer.
Do not use this sterilizer in an explosive or oxy-
gen-enriched atmosphere. Failure to do so could
result in fatal or serious injury.

NOTE
Grounding reliability can only be achieved if unit is
connected to a matching three-pronged, grounded,
dedicated, correctly polarized outlet.
WARNING
Use 104 - 127 VAC, 50/60 HZ alternat-
ing current only for 115 VAC rated
models and 207 - 253 VAC, 50/60 HZ alternating
current only for 230 VAC rated models.
