    What does Pressure Time Error mean on Tuttnauer 5050 and how to solve it?
    • G
      grantallenSep 3, 2025
      The 'Pressure Time Error' message on your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment means that the system cannot reach the required pressure conditions in the chamber, after preset time, during the air removal stage. Verify that the autoclave is not overloaded.

    Why does the safety relief valve on my Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment open at a pressure higher than specified?
    • S
      Sarah ThomasSep 12, 2025
      If the safety relief valve on your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment opens at a pressure higher (more than 10%) than specified, the relief valve is likely faulty and needs replacement.

    What does Canceled By User mean on Tuttnauer 5050 Laboratory Equipment and how to solve it?
    • M
      Michael SmithSep 5, 2025
      If your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment displays 'Canceled By User', wait until 'cycle failed – canceled by user' or 'cycle end – canceled by user' is displayed. Then, perform a new cycle.

    What to do if my Tuttnauer Steriliser displays 'Low Pressure'?
    • H
      Hannah BennettSep 13, 2025
      If the Tuttnauer Steriliser displays 'Low Pressure', it means the chamber pressure dropped below the sterilization pressure (134°C = 304 kPa, 121°C = 205 kPa) for 2 seconds during the sterilization stage. To solve this, perform a new cycle.

    What does 'Low Pressure' mean on my Tuttnauer 5050 and how do I fix it?
    • B
      burchmichaelAug 27, 2025
      If your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment displays a 'Low Pressure' message, it indicates that the chamber pressure dropped below the sterilization pressure (134°C = 304 kPa, 121°C = 205 kPa) for 2 seconds during the sterilization stage. This can also be caused by leaking solenoid valves. First, perform a new cycle. If the problem continues, clean or replace the faulty solenoid valves.

    What does 'High Pressure' mean on my Tuttnauer 5050 Laboratory Equipment and how do I resolve it?
    • M
      Mark WardAug 27, 2025
      If your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment displays a 'High Pressure' message, it means the chamber pressure rose 4.2 psi-29 kPa above the sterilization pressure (134°C = 304 kPa, 121°C = 205 kPa) for 2 seconds during the sterilization stage. This can be due to the heating element working continuously or the system not being calibrated. First, perform a new cycle. If the problem persists, the solid-state relay may be faulty, or the system may need calibration.
