10. Statim 5000 Trouble-shooting – Cycle Faults
Cycle Fault #14
Software Revisions
R1xx or R2xx only
The steam generator temperature is above 171°C
during the sterilization phase of a cycle.
This may be the result of a blocked steam generator
inlet tube, a failed or weak water pump, a failed pump or
steam generator triac, faulty seal installation or failed
solenoid valve.
The cassette temperature raised above the high
threshold during the Sterilization phase of a cycle or
above 138.6°C during conditioning or pressurizing
phase of the cycle
Probable causes are a blocked duct in the cassette, a
pinched exhaust tube leading to the waste bottle, or a
faulty solenoid valve.
The steam generator temperature went above a
threshold value.
This may be the result of a blocked steam generator
inlet tube, a failed or weak water pump, a failed pump
triac, failed steam generator triac, faulty seal installation
or failed solenoid valve.
For software rev. R1xx, R2xx and R4xx the steam
generator calibration is invalid. For software rev.
R5xx and R6xx the validation thermocouple
calibration is invalid. In both cases a new steam
generator or validation thermocouple calibration is
required.
This occurs when a new controller board or
microprocessor has been installed. This may also
happen when the unit has been subjected to a strong
static discharge corrupting the memory. Calibrate the
boiler / validation thermocouples
Cycle Fault #20

R1xx or R2xx
The pump has failed to pump water into the steam
generator during a pre-vent pump time-out. The
steam generator temperature was greater than
140°C for 3.6 seconds after the pump was activated
to pump water to cool the steam generator.
This may be the result of a blocked steam generator
inlet tube, a failed or weak water pump, a failed pump
triac or steam generator triac, faulty seal installation or
failed solenoid valve. Also may be the result of a
defective water quality sensor (insufficient water in the
reservoir)
