Electromagnetic compatibility
When assessing the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of this device, the emitted interference threshold
values for Class B devices and the stability for operation in an electromagnetic environment as described
in IEC 61326-1 were taken as the basis.
The device is thus suitable for operation in all institutions and domestic settings connected to a public
mains power supply.
The floor should be made of wood or concrete or be tiled with ceramic tiling. If the floor is fitted with
synthetic material, the relative humidity must amount to a minimum of 30%.
NOTICE
Steam escaping from the device may cause damage at the adjacent furniture.
nDuring installation of the device please ensure that the adjacent base cabinets or other
furniture and fittings are resistant to condensation.
Set-up variations
You can set up the device in the following manner:
▪ Free-standing using the optional stainless steel cover plate.
▪ Next to pre-existing under-desk unit in conjunction with the optional stainless steel plate. Space
requirements amount to a minimum of 60cm in width and 60cm depth.
▪ As under-desk equipment in a pre-existing cavity with a work surface.
▪ Free-standing with an additional floor unit and stainless steel cover plate (optional).
PLEASE NOTE

4 Commissioning
18
4 Commissioning
After installing the device, the following works have to be performed in accordance with the "Record of
installation and setting 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)
▪ Container tap for 5litre and 10litre container (art. no. 70100)
Date and time
}Set date and time in the SETUP MENU.
Logging
}In the SETUP MENU > Autom. logging, perform the required settings in order to record and save
the logs.
Filling the regeneration 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 about three minutes before starting a new program so that the salt can dissolve.
Determining the water hardness
1. Determine the local water hardness using a titration test (e.g. from Caldur, art. no. 71000). Allow the
water to run a little before conducting the test. This ensures an exact result.
2. Set the determined water hardness in the SETUP MENU > Water °dH.
Regeneration
}Start the "Regeneration" program.
Filling process agents
1. Place a 5litre container of cleaning agent and a 5litre container of neutralizer in the device drawer,
and close them with the corresponding cap (blue = cleaning agent, red = neutralizer) 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.
NOTICE
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.

4 Commissioning

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 SETUP MENU > DIAGNOSIS+SERVICE > SERVICE MENU > 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
}Start the "Air removal" program twice before commissioning.
Checking the metering accuracy
Determining the density of the process agents
Depending on the manufacturer, the density or filling level with the associated weight is directly indicated
on the label of the process agents.
If the label or data sheet of the process agents does not provide information regarding the density, then
the density of the cleaning agent, neutralizer and rinse aid (not for ophthalmology) must be determined.
The following scheme shows the determination of the density of the cleaning agent. The determination of
the density of the other process agents can be done the same fashion.
Filling quantity / weight
indicated on the label
Place an empty measurement
cylinder
on the scales and set to zero.
1st
Fill at least 200 ml of cleaning
agent into the measuring cylinder
and read the actual amount.
2nd
Read off the weight from the
scales.
3.
Calculating density:
Example: V =200 ml ≙ 242 g
Density (p) =

Vp = 242 g 220 ml
p = 1.10 g/ml

Determining the metering quantities of the process agents
The determination of the density is followed by the determination of the metering quantity in gramme.
Determine the metering quantity for the cleaning agent, neutralizer and rinse aid during a running program
as follows:
1. Either place the cleaning agent container on the scales and determine the total weight or reset the
scales to zero by pressing the Tara key if possible.
2. Start the device with basis basket in the program preferred by the practice (Universal-Program or
Ophthalmo-Program, no Quick-Program).
3. During the running program check all connections, chamber conduits and joints for leaks.
ÊAs soon as the partial cycle "Cleaning" is displayed, the metering pump of the cleaning agent
starts metering the process agent audibly. The metering process is finished when pump sound
stops.
4. When the metering process of the cleaning agent is done note the change in weight in grammes.
5. Remove the cleaning agent container from the scales.
6. Either place the neutralizer container on the scales and determine the total weight or reset the scales
to zero by pressing the Tara key if possible.
ÊAs soon as the partial cycle "Neutralization" is displayed, the metering pump of the neutralizer
starts metering the process agent audibly. The metering process is finished when pump sound
stops.
7. When the metering process of the neutralizer is done note the change in weight in grammes.
8. Remove the neutralizer container from the scales.
PLEASE NOTE
The Ophthalmo-Program does not require the rinse aid.
9. Either place the rinse aid container on the scales and determine the total weight or reset the scales to
zero by pressing the Tara key if possible.
ÊAs soon as the partial cycle "Disinfection" is displayed, the metering pump of the rinse aid starts
metering the process agent audibly. The metering process is finished when pump sound stops.
10. When the metering process of the rinse aid is done note the change in weight in grammes.
PLEASE NOTE
The hose must be re-mounted before the end of disinfection (five minutes holding time)
and before the start of drying in order to avoid steam and hot air emission.
11. Ten minutes before program end, the program may be stopped in the partial cycle "Drying".
