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 syn-
thetic 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 semi-integrated unit in a pre-existing cavity with a work surface.
▪ Free-standing using the optional stainless steel cover plate and additional floor unit.
PLEASE NOTE
If the device is to be set up with the additional floor unit, then the device must be secured
on the wall using the wall fixture (art. no. 21589), see separate instructions (doc.:

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 Settings menu.
Logging
}In the Settings > Log settings menu, 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 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 Settings > Water hardness in °dH menu.
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 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
}Start the program “Air removal” before commissioning.
Checking the metering accuracy
Ascertaining 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 ascertained.
The following scheme shows the ascertainment of the density of the cleaning agent. The ascertainment of
the density of the other process agents can be done the same fashion.
Filling quantity / weight
indicated on the label
Place an empty measuring
cylinder on the scales and set
the scales to zero.
1.
Fill the measuring cylinder with
min. 200 ml cleaning agent and
read off the actual quantity.
2.
Read off the weight from the
scales.
3.
Calculate the density:
Density (p) = m
Vp = 242 g 220 ml
p = 1.10 g/ml
4.
Calculate the density:
Density (p) = m
Vp = 5500 g 5000 ml
p = 1.10 g/ml
1.
no yes
Example: V = 200 ml 242 g
≙

4 Commissioning
20
Ascertaining the metering quantities of the process agents
After ascertaining the density, ascertain the metering quantity in gramme [g]. During a program run, pro-
ceed as follows to calculate the quantities of cleaning agent, neutralizer and rinse aid consumed:
1. Either place the cleaning agent container on the scales and read off the total weight or reset the
scales to zero by pressing the tare key if possible.
2. Start the device with basis basket in the program preferred by the practice (PLEASE NOTE: In the
ophthalmology the Ophthalmo-Program).
3. Check all connections, chamber conduits for leaks during a program run.
ÊAs soon as the display shows “Cleaning” and the metering temperature is reached, the cleaning
agent metering pump will start metering the cleaning agent audibly. The metering has stopped
once the pump sound has stopped.
4. Note the weight change in grammes after metering the cleaning agent.
5. Take the cleaning agent container from the scales.
6. Either place the container with neutralizer on the scales and ascertain the total weight or reset the
scales to zero by pressing the tare key if possible.
ÊAs soon as the displays shows "Neutralization", the neutralizer metering pump will start metering
the neutralizer audibly. The metering has stopped once the pump sound has stopped.
7. Note the weight change in grammes after metering the neutralizer.
8. Take the neutralizer container from the scales.
PLEASE NOTE
The Ophthalmo-Program does not require the rinse aid.
9. Either place the container with rinse aid on the scales and ascertain the total weight or reset the
scales to zero by pressing the tare key if possible.
ÊAs soon as the display shows “Disinfection” and the metering temperature is reached, the rinse aid
metering pump will start metering the rinse aid audibly. The metering has stopped once the pump
sound has stopped.
10. Note the weight change in grammes after metering the rinse aid.
PLEASE NOTE
The hose must be re-mounted before the end of disinfection (5min 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 can be stopped in the “Drying” partial cycle.
