ALARMS
Every time an anomalous condition occurs during the operation of the sterilizer, an alarm is
generated and a specific code (consisting of a letter followed by a 3-digit number) is displayed.
Alarm codes are divided into three categories:
• E = ERROR
Operator error or a cause external to the device.
A problem that can generally be fixed by the user.
Code format: Exxx (xxx = identifying number from 000 - 999)
• A = AL A RM
First-level fault, not linked to safety.
A problem that normally is fixed by a specialized technician on-site.
Code format: Axxx (xxx = identifying number from 000 - 999)
• H = HAZ AR D
Second-level fault, linked to safety.
A problem generally fixed by the Technical Support Center.
Code format: Hxxx (xxx = identifying number from 000 - 999)
ALARM
INTERVENTION
Alarm during a c y c l e
IN THE CASE OF AN ALARM, DO NOT POWER OFF THE UNIT BEFORE YOU HAVE EXECUTED
A RESET (SEE THE PARAGRAPH, “RESETTING THE SYSTEM”).
An alarm causes the interruption of the cycle with the relative alarm code displayed on the
display, accompanied by a beep and a flashing alarm icon.
DURING THE ALARM PROCEDURE, THE DISPLAY ALWAYS SHOWS THE CURRENT
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE IN THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER.
This procedure is designed to keep the user from mistaking an anomalous cycle for a correctly
completed cycle and, as a consequence, involuntarily using non-sterile material.
The alarm procedure is differentiated depending on whether it occurs during the execution of
the program or outside, and is structured to guide the user to the necessary RESET of the
sterilizer.
If the alarm intervenes during a program, the display will show the message:
( Alarm Message)
LEVELLING
114.6°C XXXX
0.70 bar 11:30
When an alarm is generated in certain phases of the cycle, an automatic procedure is
activated to clean the internal water circuit. The display will contain the notice:
(Alarm Message)
CIRCUIT CLEANING
100.6°C XXXX
0.70 bar 11:40
