Operating the device in the local network (LAN)
NOTICE
Do not connect the device to a public network (e.g. the internet).
An Ethernet/IP-based network connection (LAN) is required to operate the device in a local network. In its delivery state,
the device is configured to obtain the IP address automatically from a DHCP server operated in a LAN.
NOTICE
Check the IP address carefully during the conversion for a manual configuration before connecting
the device to the LAN.
An incorrectly-entered IP address can cause IP conflicts in the network and thus disturb another device in your
network.
In the LAN with a firewall, only permit connections to and from the device which correspond to the intended use of the
device. All ports not used are blocked on the device side.

4 Commissioning
19
4 Commissioning
After installing the device, the following works have to be performed in accordance with the record of installation and set-
up. Tools required:
▪ High-precision scales (accuracy d=0.1g or better)
▪ Measuring cylinder with a scale of up to 250ml (± 2ml)
Date and time
uSet date and time in the Settings menu.
Logging
uIn the Settings > Log settings menu, perform the required settings in order to record and save the logs.
Filling the regenerating salt
1. Before first commissioning, fill the salt container with water until it flows over so salt can dissolve in it.
2. Fill the salt container with 1kg of regenerating salt. If there is not enough salt in the container, the device must not
be operated.
3. After filling salt wait approx. three minutes before starting a program so that the salt can dissolve.
Determining the water hardness
NOTICE
An incorrectly set degree of hardness can result in a higher salt consumption or limescale deposits on
the instruments.
When using an internal practice water softening unit, the residual hardness of this water softening unit must
also be set.
PLEASE NOTE
The fitted water softening unit has been optimised for a degree of hardness of 0-40°dH.
For higher degrees of hardness than 40°dH, you will require a dedicated water softening unit.
1. Determine the local water hardness using a titration test (e.g. from Caldur, art. no. ME71000). Allow the water to run
a little before conducting the test. This ensures an exact result.
2. Set the determined water hardness in the Settings > Water hardness in °dH menu.
Regeneration
uStart the “Regeneration” program.

4 Commissioning
20
Filling process agents
WARNING
Do not use a rinse aid to reprocess ophthalmological instruments.
nRemove the rinse aid container from the process agent drawer and hang the black suction lance in the
suction lance bracket.
1. Place a 5litre container of cleaning agent and a 5litre container of neutraliser in the device drawer, and close them
with the corresponding cap (blue = cleaning agent, red = neutraliser) and suction lance.
2. Transfer the rinse aid from the original packaging into the 1litre container and close the container with the black cap
with suction lance.
Checking the metering concentration
The metering concentration is pre-set for the first commissioning and may be adapted to local conditions by the service
technician.
1. In the Settings > Diagnosis and service > Service > VRP Process-relevant parameters, select
the program to be checked.
2. Check the metering concentration in the respective partial cycle and set the concentration anew, if necessary.
PLEASE NOTE
Observe the metering specifications of the process agent manufacturer. This information is indicated
on the container in ml/l or on separate data sheets provided by the manufacturer.
Bleeding the metering system
uStart the “Air removal” program before commissioning.
Checking the metering accuracy
Ascertaining the density of the process agents
The density and filling level with the associated weight is directly indicated on the label of the MEtherm process agents.
As an alternative the density of the cleaning agent, neutraliser and rinse aid (not for ophthalmology) can be ascertained.
The following scheme shows the ascertainment of the density of the cleaning agent. The ascertainment of the density of
the other process agents is done the same fashion.
