up to 88

F (31

C) decreasing linearly to 50% rela-

tive humidity at 104

F (40

C).

Main supply voltage uctuations not to exceed ±

10% of nominal voltage.

Transient overvoltages according to Installation

INTENDED USE - DUTY CYCLE

This unit is intended to be operated intermittently.

After a pre-heat cycle, the longest period of use

is 60 minutes. The timer allows a maximum of 60

minutes. After each use the unit should be opened

for removal and reloading of product. The water

level should be checked after each use and re-

lled when necessary.

INSTALLATION

Set sterilizer on counter, using the 6” (152mm) legs

provided or assemble the optional stainless steel stand

with under-shelf. If your Sterilmatic includes a water-

cooled exhaust condenser, we recommend the use

of the Sterilmatic stand, part number 95-6060. First,

level unit in place, then adjust rear legs to pitch the unit

forward 1/4” (6mm) to insure positive drainage of the

cylinder.

ELECTRICAL

Connect to proper electrical supply box and disconnect

switch as shown on one of the following schematic dia-

grams - 208 or 240 volts, single or three phase. Con-

nection is made from the rear of the unit, through the

conduit to the terminal box located at the front of the

unit. See installation specications on page 5.

OUTSIDE VENTING

Connect 1/2” (13mm) nominal tubing exhaust to out-

side vent connection located on top of unit, within the

control housing. IMPORTANT: Exhaust line must be

vented to the outside to eliminate the exhausted steam

and the accompanying noise from entering the room.

Use 1/2” (13mm) copper tubing or suitable alternate.

The overall height and length of the line should not rise

more then 4 feet (1.2 meters) above the unit and ex-

ceed 15 feet (4.5 meters) with a minimum of bends.

The line should slope downward after leaving the steril-

izer in order to insure condensate drainage.

WATER-COOLED EXHAUST CONDENSER

If outside venting is not possible, an optional water-

cooled condenser is available for connection to an

open drain. If required order part no. 95-0436 kit.

RECORDING THERMOMETER

If a recording thermometer is provided, refer to installa-

tion guide provided with recorder.

TRAY SUPPORTS

Install side tray supports. Tray supports are attached

by means of key-hole clearance slots which are slipped

over studs located on the sides of the Sterilmatic cham-

ber.

BAFFLE INSTALLATION

To insure maximum drying of packs, a bafe is supplied

with your Sterilmatic. Place perforated splash bafe in

bottom of the sterilizing chamber. Install small bafe

with no perforation at the rear of the upper tray support

channel.

NOTE: The perforated bafe is not to be used as

a shelf to place media or other items. It is intended

to eliminate splashing.

OPERATION CHECK

To check for proper operation of unit:

Close drain valve by turning handle clockwise.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN DRAIN VALVE WHILE

UNIT IS OPERATING. PREMATURE OPENING

MAY RESULT IN SCALDING OF OPERATOR.

Fill chamber with 4 to 6 quarts (3.7 to 5.6 liters) of

ordinary tap water. DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR

DEIONIZED WATER.
