How to troubleshoot a Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment when the control unit is not energized?
If the control unit of your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment is not energised and there are no displays or lights on the front panel, check and switch on the circuit breaker. Alternatively, the power switches on the front panels of the autoclave or steam generator may be off or defective, in which case the defective switch should be replaced.
What to do if the steam pressure goes beyond the control point in Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1 Laboratory Equipment?
If the steam pressure in your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment goes beyond the control point, the pressure switch may be faulty or incorrectly set; in this case, check, repair, or replace the pressure switch. Alternatively, the contacts at the contactor may be welded because of a short circuit; check the cause and replace the damaged contactor.
How to fix Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment when the drying stage does not work?
If the drying stage of your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment does not work, refer to par. 2 and 4 for troubleshooting the vacuum system. The steam valve might be leaking, so repair or replace the steam valve. There could also be control system trouble, so replace the control boards.
Why does temperature rise above the preset sterilization value in Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1?
If the temperature rises above the preset sterilization value in your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment, it could be due to steam pressure being too high; check and correctly set the pressure switch of the generator and the pressure reducer. The steam valve may also be leaking, so fix or replace the steam valve. Alternatively, there may be control system trouble, so replace control boards.
What causes unsatisfactory sterilization results in Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1 Laboratory Equipment?
If you are experiencing unsatisfactory results from the sterilization process of your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment, refer to par. 2 and 4 for trouble related to the vacuum system, as incomplete removal of air pockets could be the cause. Also, the sterilization conditions may have improper temperature or pressure that is too low, or the sterilization time may be too short; set the temperature and time correctly according to the sort and quantity of material. Incorrect loading of the autoclave, leading to air trapped in the load, can also cause this issue; refer to the section on ‘Preparation before Sterilization’.
What to do if exhaust phases do not function in Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1 Laboratory Equipment?
If the fast or slow exhaust phases of your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment do not function, and the chamber pressure remains high or exhaust takes too long, the fast or slow exhaust valves may be stuck or damaged, requiring repair or replacement of the damaged valve. The steam valve may also be leaking, so repair or replace the steam valve. Alternatively, there may be control system trouble, so replace control boards.
How to resolve if the air inlet does not work on Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1?
If the air inlet of your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment does not work, the air inlet valve might be clogged or damaged, requiring repair or replacement of the air valve. Alternatively, the air filter could be clogged, so replace the air filter.
Why are packs remaining wet after drying in Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1?
If your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment is producing incomplete drying and packs remain wet, the steam pressure to the jacket may be insufficient, so set or fix the pressure switch. There may also be insufficient vacuum; refer to problems related to vacuum in par. 2 and 4. The steam trap may not be eliminating the condensate, so clean or repair the steam trap. Finally, incorrect loading of the autoclave can cause this issue, so reload the autoclave appropriately.
Why does the steam generator not operate in Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1 Laboratory Equipment?
If the steam generator in your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment does not operate, it could be due to several reasons. The water pump may be defective or blocked, requiring repair or replacement of the pump or motor. There might be a blockage or low water pressure in the pump circuit, necessitating adjustment of water pressure and ensuring free water circulation. A circuit breaker may be tripping due to overload or damage, requiring you to check and remove the overload or replace the circuit. The upper electrode could be short-circuited, needing cleaning or replacement. Electronic pressure transducers or measuring circuits might be faulty or out of calibration, so check and calibrate the pressure switches or replace them. The lower electrode may be dirty or rusted, requiring cleaning or repla...
What to do if the conditioning phase (pre-vacuum) doesn't work on Tuttnauer 5596 SP-1 Laboratory Equipment?
If the conditioning phase (pre-vacuum) does not work on your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment, refer to solutions indicated in par. 2 to check if the trouble is due to pump or its electrical supply circuit. The vacuum valve passing water through the vacuum pump may be stuck or damaged, requiring you to check, repair, or replace the water to pump valve. The exhaust to pump valve may be stuck or damaged, so check, repair, or replace the fast exhaust valve. Ensure the door is properly closed and the gasket is not damaged or incorrectly seated on the groove; if necessary, close the door, fix, or replace the gasket. Check for leakage at the vacuum or exhaust piping and tighten fitting joints or replace defective packing. The steam inlet valve may be blocked or damaged, so fix or replace the steam...
