FILTERS: MIF038 or MIF062

Depending on the age of the machine, you will need to replace either the sintered bronze style Chamber Filter (MIF038) or both the mesh style Chamber Filter and Vent Filter (MIF062). See below for instructions.

• Chamber Filter (sintered bronze style filter) – MIF038:

If the machine has only a Chamber Filter – Remove all trays and the rack from the chamber. Clean the chamber, then remove the old chamber filter. Install new filter. Reinstall rack and trays.

• Chamber & Vent Filters (mesh style filter) – MIF062:

If the machine has both a Chamber and a Vent Filter – Remove all trays and the rack from the chamber. Clean the chamber, then remove the chamber filter. Install the new filter. You must also replace the Vent

Filter that serves as a filter for the steam trap/bellows and is located in the vent line to the tee fitting. Reinstall rack and trays.

After replacing the parts, check the reservoir and clean if dirt or debris are present. (Note: Debris is the #1 reason for Steam Trap/Bellows failure.) • Refill reservoir with distilled water only. • Conduct a temperature check using a Max Register Thermometer (RPI Part

#RPT113). • Conduct a pressure check to identify any leaks that may need to be addressed.

5.0 - CALIBRATION PROCEDURE - PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

IMPORTANT

The Calibration Procedure that begins on page 9 requires the sterilizer to be plugged in and powered up while the adjustments are being performed. Do not touch any components except for the adjusting screws of the potentiometers. Use the Trim

Pot Adjustment Tool (RPI Part# RPT460) to set the potentiometers. DANGER: Failure to comply with

these instructions may result in an electrical shock, which may result in severe personal injury or death.

8

5.0 - CALIBRATION PROCEDURE - PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

(continued)

The pressure zero, pressure range, and temperature potentiometers must not be adjusted exclusively. If one potentiometer needs to be adjusted, then the entire potentiometer adjustment procedure must be performed, and it must be performed in the proper sequence as described in the steps below.

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Remove the power cord from the A.C. outlet. Remove right hand side panel.

2) Open the sterilizer door.

3) To begin diagnostics, go to page 10, see Figure 1.

AT-A-GLANCE

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1) Open door.

2) Depress LIQUIDS and PACKS buttons at the same time as plugging in the power cord.

3.) Starting with UNWRAP button, depress and release all buttons from left to right across panel.

4) Turn pressure zero pot #1 counter-clockwise to 0.0 PSI. Then turn clockwise until the display pressure reads 0.1 PSI.

5) Depending on if the board is old or new, connect multi-meter leads as shown in Figure 2 on page 13 (old), or Figure 3 on page 14 (new).

6) Adjust temperature pot #3 to 2.56 VDC reading on multi-meter.

7) Connect the test pressure gauge, close the door and press the START button.

8) Check for pressure leaks at this time. Refer to 1.0 Leak Detection Guide.

9) After display reaches 272˚F, adjust the pressure range pot #2 until the display pressure matches test pressure gauge to within +/- 0.5 PSI

10) Depress the STOP button to end the test cycle.

11) After the sterilizer vents and the door opens, unplug the power cord

(main PC board to reset itself).

Figure 1 – Diagnostics Procedure (M9 & M11 and M9D & M11D Style Key Pad Displays)

Step #3 continued from page 9.

Read the IMPORTANT note on page 8, before you begin the following steps.

a) Press and hold the LIQUIDS and PACKS buttons simultaneously while connecting the power cord into an A.C. outlet. b) Release the LIQUIDS and PACKS buttons simultaneously to cause the display PC Board LED's to individually illuminate, and then extinguish one at a time in a left to right sequence. c) Press and release the buttons in the following order and one at a time: UNWRAPPED, POUCHES, LIQ-

UIDS, PACKS, START, STOP and ON/STANDBY. When each button is pressed, the corresponding LED will illuminate and stay illuminated. When the sequence is completed, the PRESSURE (PSI) display will display the pressure that the control PC board is reading and the TEMP (˚F)/TIME (MIN: SECONDS) display will display the temperature that the control PC board is reading. When the displays register proper values, continue with calibration – proceed to Step #4, page 11.

5.0 - CALIBRATION PROCEDURE - PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

(continued)

4) PRESSURE ZERO ADJUSTMENT (Potentiometer #1): Turn the adjusting screw of the pressure zero potentiometer, #1 (see Figures 2 and 3, pages

13-14), in the counter-clockwise direction until the Pressure (psi) display reads 0.0 psi (0.0 kPa). (See Notes 1 and 2 below.) Then turn clockwise until pressure display reads 0.1 psi (kPa).

5) TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT (Potentiometer #3): Continue by determining the style of PCB and confirming meter lead attachment points (see

Figures 2 and 3, pages 13-14). Set the multi-meter to read VDC, at least the 5 Volts range. Connect the red lead of the multi-meter to Test Point

(A) and the black lead of the multi-meter to Test Point (B). (See Figures 2 and 3, pages 13-14.)

CAUTION

Test Points for the multi-meter leads must be connected exactly as shown in the illustration - Figures 2 and 3, pages 13-14. Connecting a lead to the wrong side of the resistor or wrong pin of the chip will result in an incorrect adjustment.

6) The multi-meter should read 2.550 VDC +/- 0.001 VDC. If the multi-meter reading is not 2.550 VDC +/- 0.001 VDC, turn the adjusting screw on the temperature potentiometer #3 in a clockwise direction to lower the voltage setting or a counter-clockwise direction to raise the voltage setting until the multi-meter reading is 2.550 VDC, +/- 0.001 VDC. (See Notes 1 and 2 below.)

NOTE

In this step, if the digital multi-meter being used has only three digits, turn the adjusting screw on the potentiometer #3 counter-clockwise

(see Figures 2 and 3, pages 13-14) then adjust to a setting of 2.54 VDC and then adjust counter-clockwise to 2.55 VDC.

7) For temperature verification in a later step, place a Max-Register Thermometer on the tray and close the sterilizer door.

NOTES:

1) Turning the adjusting screw of the pressure range potentiometer in the clockwise direction raises the sterilizer pressure reading while turning the adjusting screw in the counter-clockwise direction lowers the sterilizer pressure reading. 2) Turning adjusting screw 1/4 turn raises or lowers the temperature of the sterilizer approximately 3O˚F (1.67˚C). On old style PC boards, turning the adjusting screw of the temperature potentiometer in the clockwise direction raises the sterilizer temperature while turning the adjusting screw in the counter clockwise direction lowers the sterilizer temperature. On new style PC boards, it is the opposite.

(continued)

8) CONNECTING THE TEST PRESSURE GAUGE TO THE STERILIZER: Disconnect the black tubing from Pressure Sensor and from the barb fitting.

Keep black tubing in a safe place for re-installation upon completion of calibration procedure. Then connect the RPI Test Pressure Gauge to pressure sensor and the barb fitting – secure using clamps. (Important: See Notes 1 and 2 below. See illustration on page 8.)

9) Press the START button to initiate a test calibration cycle and then wait until the temperature on the TEMP (˚F) / TIME (MIN: SECONDS) display reaches 272 - 273˚F (133 -134˚C). From a cold start, the wait should be about 9-10 minutes.

10) PRESSURE RANGE ADJUSTMENT (Potentiometer #2): Turn the adjusting screw of the pressure range potentiometer, #2 (see Figures 2 and 3, pages 13-14) in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction until the reading on the PRESSURE (psi) display matches the reading of the Test

Pressure Gauge within a tolerance of +/- O.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

11) Check the multi-meter reading, it must still read 2.550 VDC, +/- 0.001 VDC.

12) Press the STOP button to end the test calibration cycle and let the sterilizer vent.

13) Disconnect the power cord from the A.C. outlet, then remove the multi-meter leads from test points A and B (see Figures 2 and 3, page 13-14).

14) Open the sterilizer door and remove the Max-Register Thermometer (RPI Part #RPT113) from the sterilizer tray. Verify that the chamber temperature has reached 272-273˚F (133-134˚C).

15) Repeat Steps #3 and #4 of this procedure (see page 10-11). The display must read 0.1 psi (1 kPa) with the sterilizer door open. If it does not, repeat Calibration Procedure starting with Step #4, page 11.

16) Disconnect the power cord from the A.C. outlet. Remove the Test Pressure Gauge from the sterilizer. Using new cable ties, re-install the original black tubing removed in Step #8. Re-install right hand side panel.

17) Run a final test cycle and use Max-Register Thermometer (RPI Part #RPT113) to confirm chamber temperature.

NOTES:

1) CAUTION Place and tighten the hose Kwik Clamps™ on the fittings in order to secure the hose (see illustration, page 8). 2) After disconnecting Test Pressure

Gauge from the sterilizer, reconnect the black tubing to Pressure Sensor and tube fitting using new hi-temp cable ties (see illustration, page 8).
