Technical Manual Vacuklav®1-B and Vacuklav® 3-B
Installation and setting up
Warning Please read the User Manual of the autoclave and the water treatment
unit before setting up the autoclave.
Warning
If the autoclave has already been put into operation, please observe the
following before setting up again in case of any eventual transport:
■ To transport the autoclave, for instance if the practice moves to a new
location, wait until the pressure indicator on the manometer display
shows null bar after the autoclave is switched off. Be sure to check
the pressure indicator on the manometer before moving the autoclave
■ To transport the unit over longer distances, an →authorised person
must prepare the autoclave beforehand according to instructions and
completely empty the →double jacket steam generator. In order to do
so, you can use the Draining program in the SPECIAL menu.
Non-compliance can lead to severe burns and damages to the autoclave
as well as malfunctions.
The autoclave sterilizes on the basis of the →fractionated vacuum. A
membraneous pump is used to create the especially deep vacuum. Thus
the autoclave can be immediately put into operation without additional in-
stallation work, apart from providing the necessary power supply. For the
optional connection of the one-way drain and an external water treatment
unit please follow the water main and general information for the proper in-
stallation which must be observed when setting up the device.
Removal from the packaging
Unpack autoclave Lift the autoclave out of the carton with the carrying strap.
Remove carrying strap To remove the carrying strap, unscrew the four screws on each side of the
housing. Retighten these screws firmly without the washers. Keep the car-
rying strap and the washers.
After switching on After switching on the autoclave and before initial start-up, open the door
and remove the trays and the accessories from the chamber.
To do this you must go into door mode:
▪ Press the Door button on the Welcome start screen; afterwards the
door can be opened.
Notice!
After 5 seconds of inactivity, the display automatically switches back
to the main menu. The autoclave then begins to suck in the feed wa-
ter needed for the sterilization, which triggers an error message!
9

Installation and setting up
Space requirements
The space requirements for the autoclave corresponds
to its dimensions plus at least 5 cm on the side and 10
cm at the back side. The autoclave should be freely ac-
cessible from above, for easy filling of the storage tank
and to ensure proper ventilation.
The autoclave works with a cooler located at the rear of
the device.
The function and service life can be impaired if the heat
dissipation over the cooler is restricted.
Therefore we do not recommend incorporating the auto-
clave; this is only possible if sufficient air circulation is
ensured.
Dimensions in parentheses: Vacuklav®3-B
Fig. 2: Dimensions Vacuklav®1-B/ 3-B
For →Feed water supply In case of external feed water supply there is additionally required space
for the water treatment unit MELAdem0 or MELAdem7.
Installation surface
Flat and level Place the autoclave on a flat and level surface.
Load capacity The Vacuklav®1-B weighs without load and without feed water 59 kg.
The Vacuklav®3-B weighs without load and without feed water 66 kg.
Electrical connection
Power socket 230 V, 50 Hz, connected load 3 00 VA, separate fuse protection 16, pro-
tection from leakage current 30 mA
Power cable The power cable is 1.35 m long.
Log printer
ELAprint®42
If you want to connect a log printer to the autoclave, you need another
socket for its power supply.
One-way drain
Wall drain or siphon drain A wall drain, nominal DN 0 or a siphon drain (sink drain) is required for
the one-way drain.
Waste water hose A 1 m wastewater hose (MELAG Art. No. 39180) can be ordered from
MELAG to directly connect the autoclave to the waste water, i.e. the pres-
sure discharge goes directly into the siphon of the domestic water supply.
One-way overflow hose on
the siphon
If you close the one-way overflow hose of the autoclave at the siphon of
the domestic water supply, you need a 2 m wastewater hose (Art. No.
36585) which you can also order from MELAG.
The drain must be located at least 30 cm beneath the autoclave and be in-
stalled dip-free with continuous descent.
10

Installation and setting up
Supply with → feed water
Feed water one-way system Since the contamination of feed water in autoclaves using a water circula-
tion system regularly leads to early damages to the autoclaves and instru-
ments, the autoclave works in the gentle yet effective one-way water sys-
tem. This means that it uses fresh purified feed water for every sterilization
run. The autoclave gets the feed water either from a water storage con-
tainer which the practice team has refilled e.g. with distilled water from the
MELAdest®65. Or it gets the feed water fully automatically from the water
treatment unit MELAdem®0 or MELAdem7.
Quality of
feed water
The quality of the →distilled or demineralized feed water for the steam
generation must be at least VDE 0510.
Provide feed water supply
from internal storage tank
Before the initial start-up of the autoclave, the right chamber of the internal
storage tank of the autoclave must be filled with feed water up to the max-
imum marking.
Notice!
At the initial start-up of the autoclave, the unit needs to be filled once with
2.5 L to fill the double jacket. For this reason we recommend you to refill
the right chamber of the internal storage tank afterwards immediately.

Installation and setting up
Installation examples
Example 1 – Standard scope of delivery Direct of →feed water from the internal
storage tank
Wastewater is collected in the wastewa-
ter chamber of the storage tank
No water connection necessary
The autoclave is supplied with feed water
directly over a hose from the internal stor-
age tank. Thus no additional water connec-
tion is required aside from the power sup-
ply line. An integrated float-actuated level
switch in the device notifies a lack of feed
water. A program can be started only after
water is refilled.
The used feed water (wastewater) is col-
lected in the wastewater chamber of the in-
ternal storage tank and later drained off
manually. A float-actuated level switch in
the wastewater chamber also notifies that
the wastewater chamber is full.

exchanger ELAdem®40

ted with siphon

Installation and setting up
Connection of the ion exchanger
MELAdem0 with MELAjet®. The simplest
installation is to connect the MELAdem0
directly to the purified feed water inlet of
the autoclave and thus generate deminer-
alized water from normal tap water. The
spray pistol MELAjet® is for the final rinsing
of the instruments with demineralized wa-
ter before sterilization.

Before you upgrade from the standard version to one with a water treatment unit empty both chambers
of the internal storage tank!
The feed water inlet fixture (5) on the autoclave must be exchanged with the hollow screw (MELAG Art. No.
53 30) with feed water inlet fixture for hose ∅6x1 (MELAG Art. No. 211 0) because of the other hose diameter.
Likewise exchange the two Cu seals (MELAG Art. No. 2360) – in the water connection set). The used feed water
(wastewater) is conducted under pressure directly over the one-way drain hose (MELAG Art. No. 39180) into the
siphon of the domestic water supply. An automatic one-way-overflow is also possible and is described in example
3.
