Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
When a STATIM unit fails to function correctly it is designed to ‘fail safe’ so that if sterilization
conditions are not met, a message or cycle fault will appear on the display to inform you of the
failure.
Depending on the age, type and controller variant of the machine, there are a number of things
you can do to understand the problem. The following chapter contains guidance on what can be
done on the various unit types.
Basic mechanical diagnostics
If the immediate cause of the problem is unknown and a cycle fault is unavailable, the following
functional checks are recommended:

Using software as a diagnostic tool
Depending on the software in the problem unit there are a variety of things you can do to gather
information to help with diagnosis. This varies from unit to unit and you will find that the newer the
unit, the more options are available.
For units with revision 2.x/5.x and 6.x controllers (no service menu)
For the above controller boards with version 2.xx and higher software it is possible to print out
the last complete or incomplete cycle as a diagnostic tool. If the unit does not have a printer or
if the printer was not connected when the fault occurred, a STATIM printer can still be used as a
diagnostic tool, however the time and date printed on the report may not be valid.
To print the last cycle information, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the STATIM OFF and remove the cover.
2. Install a calibration jumper on controller board header W1 located to the left of the
microprocessor. Connect a control box and printer to the controller board and enable the
printer.
