3.3 NOTES ON ALTITUDE COMPENSATION
For a proper operation of the pressure control devices, an altitude compensation feature has been intro-
duced.
During the installation procedure it is necessary to set the altitude value (referred to sea level) for the site
where the unit operates. This procedure must be carried out every time the unit is moved to a site with dif-
ferent altitude from the one previously set.
During the factory test the equipment is set at a default value of 100 meters and can be left unchanged for
real altitude values between 0 and 200 meters, since a ±100 meter error does not affect the equipment
operation.
To be sure of the sterilization process, it is important that the altitude tolerance from the current value
does not exceed 200 meters; otherwise, the vacuum devices should be additional loaded, and false or
premature AL8 or AL5 alarm should be signalled.
CONVERSION NOTE: to obtain meters multiply feet by 0.3048
These operations should be carried out by qualified personnel. Wrong settings can affect the quality
of the sterilization.
