8. ALARMS
8.1 GENERAL
With equipment switched on and during every cycle, the supervisory system of the equipment constantly
monitors the characteristic parameters of the different sterilization phases, the proper operation and the
status of the devices. Any detected anomaly or fault is promptly signalled through specified messages,
coded alarms and acoustic signalling.
To easy the interpretation and identification, the alarms have been divided into three classes, as shown in
tables A, B, and C.
