If you want to connect a log printer to the autoclave, you need another socket for its power supply.

Wall drain or siphon drain

Wastewater hose

One-way drain

A wall drain, nominal DN40 or a siphon drain (sink drain) is required for the one-way drain.

A wastewater hose with a length of 2 metres (MELAG Art. No. 36585) can be ordered from MELAG to connect the autoclave to the waste water.

The drain must be located at least 30 cm beneath the autoclave and be installed dip-free with continuous descent.

Feed water One-way and

Circulatoryflow system

Supply with feed water

The autoclave works both according to the feed water one-way system as well as the feed water circulatory flow system. In the one-way system, it uses fresh purified feed water for every sterilization run. In the feed water circulatory flow system, the autoclave works in a more water-conserving manner, since the feed water is used for several sterilization runs. provided the instruments have been carefully prepared, that means cleaned and rinsed (e.g. in a thermal disinfector).

The autoclave gets the feed water either from the internal storage tank, 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

®

This guideline might not be applicable in all cases. The dispersion of electromagnetic magnitudes is influenced by the absorption and reflection of buildings, objects and people.

*2

The field intensity of stationary transmitters, such as e.g. base stations of radio telephones and mobile land radio devices, amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio broadcasting and TV transmitters are not able to be exactly theoretically determined beforehand. You should consider conducting a study of the location to determine the electromagnetic environment with respect to the stationary transmitters. If the measured field intensity at the location where the autoclave is to be used exceeds the above compliance level, then observe the autoclave carefully to verify its proper functioning. If unusual performance characteristics are observed, additional measures might be required, such as for instance modifying the alignment or finding another location for the autoclave.

3

Within the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field intensity should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended protective distances

Between portable and mobile HF telecommunication devices and the autoclave

The autoclave is designed for operation in an electromagnetic environment in which the HF disturbances are monitored. The customer or the user of the autoclave can thus help to avoid electromagnetic disturbances by complying with the minimum distance required between portable and mobile HF telecommunication devices (transmitters) and the autoclave, depending on the power output of the communication device, as stated below.

For transmitters whose maximum nominal power is not specified in the following table, the recommended protective distance d in meters (m) can be determined by using the equation in the respective column, whereby P is the maximum nominal power of the transmitter in watt (W) according to the specifications of the transmitter manufacturer.

Brief instructions

Emergency door opening in case of power failure

Warning!

Be absolutely sure that the autoclave is completely relieved from pressure:

■ No steam may escape between the sterile filter and the reverse side of the autoclave

■ The sliding closure grip must be easy to manipulate

■ It must be easy to push back the door about 2 mm with only slight pressure

■ Be sure to let the autoclave cool down. Metal parts such as door and chamber can be hot.

Non-observance can lead to severe burning and injuries

.

If the door cannot be opened, for instance due to a power failure, observe the above safety instructions and proceed as follows:

▪ Switch the autoclave off at the mains switch (see page 5,

Figure

1/(5)

) and pull the power plug from the wall socket.

▪ Take the delivered lever for emergency unlocking the door, and conduct it down in the slot between the plastic door and front plate of the autoclave to the height of the door handle, with the long side and curve pointing forwards.

Figure 11

▪ On the left you can see how you can push the lever directly into the groove of the grey plastic covering on the inside door of the autoclave in order to reach the door lock.

Figure 12

▪ When the lever is lying in the groove, pull the lever forward with your right hand. With the other hand, push the sliding- closure grip upwards.

▪ Now you can open the door.

Device fuses are triggered

Replace device fuses

In the unlikely event that the device fuses (see page 5,

Figure 1 /(8)

) a are

triggered, replace them as follows:

▪ Switch the autoclave off at the mains switch (see page 5,

Figure 1/

(5)

) and pull the power plug from the wall socket.

▪ Due to the power failure which occurs when the device fuses are triggered, you have to open the door with the help of the delivered lever for emergency unlocking the door. Follow the instructions on

page 20, Emergency door opening in case of power failure.

▪ Unscrew both screw caps of the fuse holder (page 5,

Figure 1 /(8)

) at

the lower front of the autoclaves with a screwdriver or a coin.

▪ There are two replacement fuses mounted on the inside of the autoclave door (see figure on the left). Pull out the defect fuses and insert the new fuses tightly into the fuse holder.

▪ Screw the caps of the fuse holders back on at the lower front of the autoclave.

▪ Reconnect the power plug of the autoclave to the socket and switch on the autoclave again at the mains switch.

If the fuses are triggered again, inform the MELAG customer service or the customer service of your specialist dealer.
