11. A dielectric strength test (Hi-Pot) AND a protective bonding impedance test (ground continuity)
must be performed on the STATIM to confirm that the wire has not been pinched or crushed
between the steam generator and the bracket. The tests must be performed again once the
work is completed and the cover has been returned to the unit.
12. Refill the reservoir using steam process distilled water.
13. Run a sterilization cycle and observe all fittings and tubes for leaks. Check LCD read-outs for
messages indicating cycle status.
14. Reinstall the cover.
Removing and Replacing the thermal fuse on the Stainless Steel
Steam Generator
Instructions for changing the thermal fuses on the stainless steel steam generator are NOT
included in this manual. If the thermal fuses have failed on a stainless steel steam generator, it
is strongly recommended that the steam generator be replaced by a modern “Alex” type unit.
Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)
There are two types of Pressure Relief Valves (PRV) fitted to STATIM units. Note that they are unit
specific and the two types SHOULD NOT be interchanged.
The two types are as follow:
Type 1: 70 p.s.i. PRV without pull ring
This type of PRV are factory fitted on steam
generators on the following units:
t ALL STAT
IM 2000 non S (North American
specification) units irrespective of steam
generator type.
t STAT
IM S units (European specification)
with 1st generation steam generator from
1996 to 2003.
Type 2: 43.5 p.s.i. PRV with pull ring
This type of PRV are factory fitted on steam
generators on the following units:
t STAT IM S units (European specification)
with stainless steel or “Alex” type steam
generators (2004 to date).
