5 IN-OUT TEST
Before performing any trouble shooting on the autoclave, perform an “in-out
test”. In this test the technician tests all the components of the system as follows:
1. Turn on the autoclave.
Note: if, for any reason, one of the parameters is corrupted and out of
range, the autoclave will perform an automatic reset to the parameters set
by the manufacturer upon turning on the autoclave.
2. Press the Up button until the autoclave beeps. This beep indicates that the
autoclave is in “IN-OUT TEST” mode.
3. Release the button.
4. To proceed, press the UP button. Each time the UP button is pressed the
test advances one step, and the tested component is displayed on the display.
5. When a solenoid is tested, verify that it is activated by touching it with a
screwdriver. If the solenoid is magnetized – it is activated.
6. To stop the IN-OUT TEST press the Up button.
