MV-1
Is fitted in the bottom of the sterilizer and has the task

of evacuating any remaining water in the sterilizer at
the end of the process.
Check:
Check that both the plunger and the area it runs in are
clean. Always change the O-ring that seals between
the coil and housing after removing the coil. Activate
MV-3 and fill the chamber. Activate MV-1 and MV4

Check that the water level in the chamber is main-
tained for a long period (about 15 minutes).
MV-2
Is fitted at the rear, top edge of the sterilizer. Takes
care of pressure equalization after the post-vacuum
phase by releasing air into the chamber. The valve is
open when the sterilizer is in standby mode if the door
is locked. It becomes de-energised as soon as the
door is opened.
Check:
Check that both the plunger and the area it runs in are
clean. Always change the O-ring that seals between

5. The temperature of the steam is monitored by the

10. pressure sensor (through a theoretical calcula-
tion).
6. The solenoid valve MV-1 is used to empty the wa-

ter from the chamber.
7. The steam pressure is released via MV1 and MV6
8. The water pressure powers an ejector, which cre-

ates an underpressure in order to lower the
chamber pressure below atmospheric pressure.
MV4 releases the water pressure on the ejector.
9. MV-2 is used to release the air in the chamber.
10. MV-8 releases the door gasket's water pressure.

The door can now be opened.

heater.
11. 12. 18. 15. The load sensor monitors the temperature of the
liquid to be sterilised. The load sensor tempera-
14. ture determines when the sterilizer switches to
sterilisation.
16. The solenoid valve MV-1 is used to empty the wa-

ter from the chamber.
17. The steam pressure is released via MV1 and MV6

through ramping to prevent decoction.
18. When the liquid reaches a temperature below

95°C (controlled by the load sensor) MV-8 re-
leases the gasket pressure and the door can be
opened. The process is complete.
PRE-TREATMENT
The purpose of pre-treatment is to remove air from the

chamber and from the goods. Air prevents the requi-
site contact between the steam and micro-organisms
to be killed.
Pre-treatment consists of steam injection and evacua-
tion pulses in different processes depending on the
program selected. In addition, the humidification es -
sential to killing mainly takes place during the pre-
treatment stage.
Pre-treatment process:
• Blow through (1)

MV-1 opens, the chamber is filled with water and
the heater then heats the water. MV-6 opens dur-
ing the preset time.
• Pressure increases (2)

MV-6 closes and the heater heats. The pressure
rises to a preset level. The sterilisation pressure
should be reached during the final increase in
pressure. Sterilisation begins when the sterilisa-
tion pressure is reached.

STERILISATION
Sterilisation takes place by maintaining the saturated
steam's relation (boiling point at a specific pressure).
The sterilisation phase is in progress during a pre-

programmed number of minutes at the preselected
temperature/pressure.
Sterilisation process:
• MV-6 opens during the preset time intervals.
• The pressure is controlled by means of the heater,

which heats as required.
POST TREATMENT
The purpose of post treatment is to reduce the mois-
ture content in the goods. During post treatment the
pressure drops to atmospheric pressure or lower –
depending on the selected program. Post treatment is
completed by air being drawn in until the chamber is
at atmospheric pressure.
Post treatment process:
• MV-1 opens and releases the remaining water.
• MV-4 opens and the ejector starts.
• MV-6 opens after an additional few of minutes.
• When the right vacuum is reached (800 mBar)

time metering starts.
• When the time elapses MV-1, MV-4 and MV-6

close. MV-2 opens and air is drawn in and the
pressure rises towards atmospheric pressure.
MV-8 opens and the door gasket pressure is re-
leased. The process is finished.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION - LIQUID LOAD
PRE-TREATMENT
The purpose of pre-treatment is to remove air from the
chamber and from the goods. Air prevents the requi-
site contact between the steam and micro-organisms
to be killed.
Pre-treatment consists of steam injection and evacua-

tion pulses in different processes depending on the
program selected. In addition, the humidification es -
sential to killing mainly takes place during the pre-
treatment stage.
Pre-treatment process:
• Blow through (1)

MV-1 opens, the chamber is filled with water and
the heater then heats the water. MV-6 opens dur-
ing the preset time.
• Pressure increases
MV-6 closes and the heater heats. The pressure
rises to a preset level just above the sterilisation
pressure to accelerate the heating of the liquid.
When the load sensor temperature approaches
the sterilisation temperature, the steam pressure
drops to the sterilisation pressure. Sterilisation
starts.

STERILISATION
Sterilisation takes place by maintaining the saturated
steam's relation (boiling point at a specific pressure).
The sterilisation phase is in progress during a pre-

programmed number of minutes at the preselected
temperature/pressure. The load sensor monitors the
temperature of the liquid.
Sterilisation process:
• MV-6 opens during the preset time intervals.
• The pressure is controlled by means of the heater,

which heats as required.
POST TREATMENT
The purpose of post treatment is to lower the tem-

perature of the liquid below boiling point at atmos-
pheric pressure.
Post treatment process:
• MV-4 opens and the ejector starts.
• MV-1 opens at the preset time intervals to ensure

a slow pressure decrease and prevent decoction
of the liquid. The remaining process water is re-
leased in connection with ramping.
• When atmospheric pressure is reached and the

temperature of the liquid (controlled by the load
sensor) is below 95°C, MV-1 and MV-4 close.
MV-2 opens and the atmosphere in the chamber
and the atmosphere is the room are kept at the
same level. MV-8 opens and the door gasket
pressure is released. The process is finished.

and plug intended for the surface in question. Make sure
there is a slight backward incline, i.e. the side of the door
should be slightly lower than the front, about 2 - 3 mm.
This is accomplished by placing a washer under each of
the front feet.

IMPORTANT! Prior to carrying out any connection work, ensure that
The electrical connection of the the characteristics stated on the nameplate correspond
unit must be carried out by trained to the mains supply to which it is to be connected. In
personnel case of uncertainty as to the unit supply voltage,
VOLTAGE FLUCTUATION:
The electrical components tolerate a supply voltage
fluctuation of between -10 and +10 %. For larger
fluctuations, it is necessary to use a voltage stabilisation
system placed between the circuit-breaker and the
processor unit transformer. In this case, contact the
sales office.
POWER-SURGE PROTECTION:
A power-surge protection device (over current

protection) must be placed on the sterilizer’s AC power
supply. This protection is the responsibility of the
customer.
CIRCUIT-BREAKER:
A device enabling the sterilizer to be electrically isolated
must be inserted on all the live conductors (including
neutral). This switch or circuit-breaker must be part of
the building’s electrical equipment, positioned near the
unit, and must be easily accessible and marked as the
power switch for the unit, while stating its function.
If the unit is connected in polyphase. Its characteristics
are as follows:
• Breaking power 63 A breaking the 3 phases as well as
neutral
Earth terminal making it possible to connect the isolating
device to the earth conductor without braking it.
