GENERAL
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
To ensure operator safety and the correct performance of the device:
– Install the sterilizer on a flat level surface strong enough to support the device's weight,
and use the leveling feet to compensate for an irregular surface.
– Leave adequate space for ventilation, at least 2” (50 mm) on both side and top and 4”
(100mm) at the back. If the device is installed in a cabinet, be sure to respect the warnings
in the preceding paragraph, avoiding any obstructions to the air intake.
– Avoid contact with water or liquids. Do not install the sterilizer near tubs, sinks or similar
places, as this could cause short circuits and/or potentially dangerous situations for the
operator.
– Do not install the sterilizer in a place that is excessively humid or poorly ventilated;
– Do not install the machine were there is gas or flammable and/or explosive vapors;
– Install the device so that the power cord is not sharply bent or kinked. It must run freely to
the electrical connection socket.
– Install the device so that any external fill/drain tubing(s) is/are not sharply bent or kinked.
These must run freely to the drain tank.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
The Bravo must be connected to an outlet that provides adequate capacity for the device's
absorption and ground, and which conforms with current laws and/or standards. The outlet
must also be protected by suitable breaker.
THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY
INSTALLING THE STERILIZER ON AN INADEQUATE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM OR ONE NOT EQUIPPED WITH A GROUND.
If it is necessary to replace the plug on the power cord, use one with equal characteristics or,
at any rate, adequate to the device's electrical characteristics. The user is entirely responsible
for the selection and replacement of the plug. This replacement should only be performed by
a trained service professional.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE POWER CORD DIRECTLY TO THE SOCKET. DO NOT USE
EXTENSION CORDS, ADAPTERS OR OTHER ACCESSORIES.
CONNECTING THE
DATA RECORDER
Installation
The sterilizer can be connected to external data recorder to allow the recording of the cycle
data on to a USB memory stick which can then be downloaded to a PC for archiving and
management.
The connectors in the service compartment are used for interfacing.
1. Switch off the sterilizer and open the service compartment door;
2. Insert both ends of the 9-pin connector into the serial ports of the data recorder and the
Bravo unit and secure them with the screws.
The serial port of the autoclave can be found next to the biological filter;
3. Insert the power connector pin in to the data recorder and then plug in the power
supply;
4. Fully insert the USB stick in to data recorder.
5. Switch on the sterilizer.
