1.1 General Operation
HYDRIM C51w Overview
The HYDRIM C51w high speed instrument washer is designed to complement the
STATIM family of autoclaves by quickly and hygienically preparing soiled instruments
for sterilization.
The HYDRIM C51w works like most domestic dishwashers. The operator loads the
instruments, closes the door, and selects the wash cycle. The HYDRIM C51w
automatically dispenses chemical via the dosing mechanism. The operator is
responsible for checking the water softener salt level window, adding salt, adding rinse
aid, cleaning the filters, and replacing the cleaning solution container when necessary.

2. Installation
2.1 Suggested Installation Configurations
The HYDRIM C51w Instrument Washer should only be installed and serviced by a
qualified contractor as it is an Installation Category 2 device. The contractor should be
experienced in installing equipment that requires electrical hook-up as well as plumbing.
The machine must be installed and leveled correctly for the unit to function as
described. All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and in
compliance with all local and national electrical codes.
Before making any connections, check that the voltage shown on the serial # label
corresponds to your power supply. The machine is supplied as standard for connection
to a 220V 60Hz (220-240V 50Hz for EU) single-phase power supply and is fitted with a
power supply cord 1.8m/6ft long with a cross section of AWG 8-3. It should be
connected to the main power supply according to the information below.
2.2 Water Connections
The unit must be connected to the water supply in accordance with all local and national
plumbing codes. The unit is constructed with air gap/anti-siphoning devices on the cold
water inlet hose ■
1, the hot water inlet hose ■ 2and the drain hose ■ 3. Additional air
gap/anti-siphoning devices are not recommended, because they would impede
the water flow into and out of the washer.
For optimal performance, the
water pressure should be between
2.5-10.0bar (35 and 145psi) -the
unit will function down to 0.5bar.
The HYDRIM C51w is designed
for cold and hot water connection
in view of its technical application.
The inlet hoses are 1.9m/6.2ft
long with 2cm/3/4" connectors.

2.3 Drainage
The unit is supplied with one 1.4m/4.6ft. flexible drain hose with an inner diameter of
2cm/3 /4inch. The hose should not be shortened or attached to any fittings that would
cause a reduction in water flow. The drain system is equipped with a non-return valve
that prevents dirty water from flowing back into the unit.
The drain hose should not be further than 1.5m/5ft. from a hard plumbing drain. If this is
not possible, then commercial grade plumbing hose must be used to ensure the
minimization of possible leaks. If you require additional hose, your SciCan dealer can
provide you with ordering details.
The hose can be attached to existing drain lines through the use of a 3.5cm/1-1 /2inch or
larger stand pipe/P-trap combination. Alternatively, the hose can be connected directly
to the existing drain lines, provided any fittings or adapters used do not reduce the water
flow. The drain hose should not exceed 3.3m/13ft. in length, or be attached to the main
drain at a point higher that 1m/3ft. above the floor. A floor drain is acceptable.
