TECHNICIAN MENU
Insert the Technician SterilCard to access the Technician Menu.
If the sterilizer is not equipped with a SterilCard reader, a Technician SterilCard kit may be
employed. The kit includes a reader, a Technician SterilCard and a cable for connecting
the reader to the logic board 33 (connector J5).
In STAND BY mode, press MENU and use the ↑↓ arrows to select the Technician Menu
(option 6):
Press ENTER to open the Technician Menu:

•Door lock
•Fan(s) is the fan 42
•Aux 1 is not used
•Aux 2 is not used
•External coil for pre-heating and drying chamber 09
•Internal coil for steam generation
Note: The external coil is the series of lower and upper coils external to the chamber 09.
The internal coil is the coil internal to the steam generator 47.
Use the ↑↓ arrows to scroll the list and highlight the required option. Press ENTER to change
the output state (ON/OFF).

PT1 / PT2 / PT3 board calibration
This procedure is used to calibrate temperature probe PT1, PT2 and PT3.
A specific calibration kit is needed for calibration:
To calibrate PT1, PT2 or PT3 select option 3, 4 or 5 in the Technician Menu respectively.
To connector CN12,
CN13 or CN14
0-5V switch
To connector CN11
Temperature selector
Technician Menu

13
Disconnect the connector corresponding to the temperature probe you want to calibrate
from the electronic power board 34. Disconnect connector CN12 for sensor PT1,
connector CN13 for sensor PT2 or connector CN14 for sensor PT3.
Connect the calibration tool 2-pin cable to the connector CN12, CN13 or CN14 of the
power cable 34. Switch pole number 1 of the temperature selector to ON, which
corresponds to a 1000 Ohm sample coil (0°C).
Wait for at least 10 seconds and press ENTER.
Technician Menu

14
To calibrate sensor PT1, switch the pole number 1 of the temperature selector to OFF
and switch pole number 2 of the temperature selector to ON, which corresponds to
a 1573 Ohm sample coil (150°C).
Wait for at least 10 seconds and press ENTER.
Technician Menu

15
To calibrate sensor PT2 or PT3, switch pole number 1 of the temperature selector to OFF
and switch pole number 3 of the temperature selector to ON, which corresponds to
a 1832 Ohm sample coil (220°C).
Wait for at least 10 seconds and press ENTER.
Press Åto go back to the Technician Menu without changing the calibration.
Technician Menu

16
TP board calibration
This procedure is used to calibrate the pressure transducer.
Disconnect the connector CN11 corresponding to the pressure transducer from the
electronic power board 34.
Technician Menu

17
Connect the calibration tool 4-pin cable to the connector CN11 of the power cable 34.
Set the calibration tool switch to 0 V (position 2).
Wait for at least 10 seconds and press ENTER.
Now set the calibration tool switch to 5 V (position 1).
Wait for at least 10 seconds and press ENTER.
Press Åto go back to the Technician Menu without changing the calibration.

PT1 / PT2 / PT3 probe calibration
This procedure is used to complete the calibration of the temperature probes PT1, PT2
and PT3.
This operation must be performed whenever a temperature probe is replaced.
Press +/- to enter the value 0°C for the temperature probe shown on the label or on the
wire sheath (e.g.: if a value of 1000.2 is shown on the PT1 sensor label, press + twice to
display 1000.2). Press ENTER to confirm.
Press Åto go back to the Technician Menu without changing the calibration.
PT1 / PT2 / PT3 correction
This procedure is used to correct the temperature value displayed during the sterilization
process. For example, if using an external sampling tool a temperature lower than the one
displayed is measured in the chamber during the sterilization process, the temperature
may be corrected as follows:
Press +/- to enter the correction which will change the temperature shown on the display.
Press ENTER to confirm.
Press Åto go back to the Technician Menu without changing the value.

Continuous cycle
A CONTINUOUS CYCLE is a test cycle which includes pre-vacuum, 2 fractioned vacuum
pulses, pressurisation, sterilization (2 minutes) and drying (3 minutes). Minimum pressure
values higher than standard cycles are reached during the vacuum phases. The purpose
of the test cycle is to run the sterilizer continuously, for instance at night, to test efficacy of
the performed maintenance operations.
Press +/- to enter the number of cycles and press ENTER to confirm.
Press Åto go back to the Technician Menu without making changes.
CONTINUOUS CYCLE will be available in STAND BY mode if a number higher than zero is
set; press ENTER to repeat the cycle for the set number of times.
Security code
Press ENTER to set the security code to 1.

Accessories
Select Accessories (option 16) and press ENTER. The external charge value (ON/OFF) will
appear. Press ↑↓ to change the value, press ENTER to confirm and move to the next
option.
Press Åto go back to the Technician Menu without making changes to the accessory
settings.
Delete maintenance
Press YES to delete all maintenance interventions performed on the sterilizer from the
machine memory and reset the remaining day and cycle counters for all components.
Press NO to keep the maintenance log and go back to the Technician Menu.
Note: After installing the sterilizer, delete the maintenance log to reset the remaining days
and cycles for all components.
