1.2 WARM-UP
When the door is closed, if one of the 6 available sterilization cycles is selected and activated, the door is locked and
the WARM-UP phase is activated.
During this phase are warmed up:
- chamber by the chamber heating element;
- generator by the generator heating element;
until reaching the following temperature levels.
- tube bundle heating element > PT3 temperature reading - 110°C;
- generator heating element > PT2 temperature reading - 140°C;
- chamber > PT1 temperature reading - 60°C.
When the above values are reached, the next phase begins. This is the 1st VACUUM PHASE.
The 1st VACUUM PHASE will start after 10 minutes even though the temperature readings are below the values listed
above.
The WARM-UP phase is divided into 2 sections:
- section 1 continues until PT2 temperature reading = 110°C
- section 2 continues until PT2 temperature reading = 140°C
During section 2 of the WARM-UP phase, the following components are turned on:
- vacuum pump
- solenoid valve EV2 (air suction)
- solenoid valve EV4 (vacuum pump bypass)
so that the pump reaches its regular operating conditions and any condensate in the tubes is eliminated.

This phase marks the beginning of the sterilization cycle proper. As the vacuum pump is activated, the maximum
vacuum level in the chamber, namely – 0.80 bar, can be reached (S 17 Classic -0.75 bar).
The tube bundle heating element of the chamber and the generator heating element remain activated throughout this
phase so the steam generation can be managed properly.
The 1st VACUUM PHASE must ensure that as much air as possible is removed from the chamber. In order to achieve
this, repeated steam shots are injected as pressure drops to aid removal of any remaining air.
These steam shots are operated automatically according to pressure value in the chamber as follows:
- steam shot starts > chamber pressure reading – 0.70
- steam shot ends > chamber pressure reading – 0.60
This sequence is repeated 3 times, and pressure drops until reaching the preset vacuum level of – 0.80 bar. This value
triggers the next phase, namely the 1st PRESSURE RISE.
The control system operates the solenoid valve EV2 (air inlet) when it is needed to improve vacuum pump perfor-
mance, which may be the case during the last pressure drop phase.

er, which occurs at 134°C/2.15 bar or 121°C/1.10 bar, depending on which type of cycle has been selected.
During this pressure rise phase, the different components are in the same (on/off) states as during the previous phases.

After the pressure and temperature values set for the selected sterilization cycle have been reached, a BALANCING
phase of nearly 15” is activated to stabilize temperature inside the chamber before the PROCESS phase proper begins.
Maximum, normal and minimum pressure values to be observed during the BALANCING and PROCESS phases are
set for each cycle.
During the BALANCING and PROCESS phases, the control system takes the following actions as required:
- it powers on the tube bundle heating element of the chamber to raise value T in the chamber
- it powers on EV1 to discharge steam from the chamber when pressure rises above the allowed Pmax value
- it powers on the water injection pump/EV6 to inject steam into the chamber when pressure drops below the allowed
Pmin value

1.9 DISCHARGE
When the PROCESS phase is completed, the DISCHARGE phase begins. During this phase, all steam is discharged
from the chamber and a vacuum value of - 0.80 bar is reached.
Just like the previous PRESSURE DROPS TO VACUUM phases, the DISCHARGE phase begins with a natural de-
pressurization phase that uses the pressure generated by steam, during which only the drain solenoid valves EV1 and
EV3 are operated.
To achieve complete DISCHARGE, until achieving – 0.80 bar, the system keeps lowering pressure by means of the
vacuum pump and operating the solenoid valve EV4.
Again, the solenoid valve EV2 is activated to balance pressure inside the hydraulic circuit and aid the operation of the
vacuum pump.

After the DISCHARGE phase, the DRYING phase begins. This phase is an integral part of the sterilization cycle.
12 FUNCTIONING EN
TECHNICAL MANUAL - B CLASSIC / B FUTURA / S CLASSIC
1.10 DRYING
This phase of the sterilization cycle eliminates any moisture left inside the chamber and fully dries the load.
Drying is achieved by maintaining a negative pressure level inside the chamber, so that condensate can evaporate
even at temperatures below 100°C.
The drying phase has a different duration for each sterilization cycle (e.g. 12’ for 134°C universal cycle). During the dry-
ing phase, a series of pressure pulses take place in the chamber, approximately between - 0.80 bar and - 0.40 bar, to
aid total removal of any residual steam; the number of pulses may vary depending on the moisture content in the load.
During the pressure rise phases that take place during these pulses, solenoid valve EV5 is activated to let air flow into
the chamber through the bacteriological filter; this air flow aids steam removal.

When the standard drying time – plus any additional drying time set by user –have elapsed, the VENTILATION phase
begins.
EN FUNCTIONING 13
B CLASSIC / B FUTURA / S CLASSIC - TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.11 VENTILATION
During this phase, pressure starts rising again gradually to achieve a balance with ambient pressure.
Pressure is raised by keeping suction in the chamber active through the vacuum pump, while air is admitted to the
chamber through the bacteriological filter/EV5; VENTILATION ends upon reaching a pressure of > -0.30 bar in the
chamber.

WARNING:
The STEAM GENERATOR can become very hot and may reach temperatures above 150°C; check
the reading of PT2 – generator temperature sensor in the SERVICE menu before removing the side
covers.
Power off the autoclave and disconnect the power mains cord before removing the side covers.
The GENERATOR is protected by a insulating covering that must be refitted after completing any maintenance opera-
tion; two double insulating washers are required at each fastening point to the frame and they must be refitted correctly.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The generator is made of a cylindrical outer body and a grooved inner core that are connected by a threaded coupling;
the two sections can be separated for maintenance purposes.
Pressure is sealed between cylindrical body and inner core thanks to two O-ring placed on the core; these O-rings must
be replaced each time the generator is disassembled.
The cylindrical body accommodates:
-- PT2 - generator temperature sensor, housed in a suitable seat, secured with a retaining screw; PT2 can be removed
and replaced.
-- Safety thermostat – 300°C operation threshold – manual reset.
-- Water inlet fitting – bottom.
-- Steam outlet fitting – top.
The grooved inner core accommodates the heating element – 1000+1000W/115+115V – removable.
The heating element has 3 wires and is made up of two sections rated 13.3 ohm each (total 26.6 ohm)
Resistance can be measured directly at the points where the heating element is connected to the general electronic
card using a common tester.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
Replacing the safety thermostat
The thermostat can be removed without taking off the external heat insulation.
Disconnect the wiring connected to the safety thermostat, remove the 2 fastening screws, position the new thermostat
and secure it using the 2 screws, reconnect the wiring.

WARNING:
Power off the autoclave and disconnect the power mains cord before removing the side covers.
The solenoid valves feature 24Vdc class-H coils suitable for temperatures up to 150°C
Power supply to solenoid valves is electronically controlled and provides 24Vdc inrush voltage; power supply is redu-
ced to 16Vdc during regular operation.
Connections are made with one common (black) wire and a specific wire for each individual solenoid valve; note the
colour of the specific wire before disconnecting any wires.
The five solenoid valves are clearly identified with their corresponding numbers stamped on the read end of the MANI-
FOLD, close to each valve. EV1 and EV3 control steam discharge from the chamber and feature stainless steel seat.
In the event of a black-out, EV1-NO restores pressure balance in the chamber to that the door can be opened manually.
OPERATION
EV1 NO is connected to the top drain of the chamber; it controls steam discharge during the pressure release phases
(vacuum pulses, cycle end, drying pulses). It is powered on (closed) during all chamber pressure maintenance phases.
EV2 NC is connected to the MANIFOLD filter. It controls the supply of air at atmospheric pressure into the circuit out-
side the chamber, and prevents pressure to reach negative values which could otherwise lead to starting problems with
the vacuum pump.
EV3 NC is connected to the bottom drain of the chamber (chamber filter) and controls condensate discharge during
pressure release phases.
EV4 3-way is connected to heat exchanger, vacuum pump and drain tank; it controls the direct discharge of condensed
steam to the tank; when chamber pressure drops to P=0.10 bar, it directs the outlet flow from the heat exchanger to
the vacuum pump.
EV5 NC is connected to the bacteriological filter and controls the flow of filtered air to the chamber during the balancing
phase at cycle end; the filtered air flow is conveyed to the chamber through the seat of EV1, which is closed during the
pressure balancing phase.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
Each solenoid valve can maintained individually to:
-- Check and clean solenoid valve seat.
-- Check and clean cursor.
-- Change the complete cursor/cursor holder assembly.

PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The pressure transducer is connected to the chamber by a TEFLON tube; it detects internal pressure during the diffe-
rent cycle phase and sends an electric input to the general electronic card.
This input signal, combined with the temperature readings, ensures that the sterilization cycle is managed properly.
The transducer is installed at the side of the general electronic card and can be accessed after removing the right side
cover panel and, if necessary, the right upper cross member.
The pressure transducer is not serviceable; if it needs replacing, proceed as follows:
-- Power off the autoclave from the main switch and disconnect the power cord.
-- Remove the right external cover panel.
-- Remove the protective cover of the general electronic card, which is held in place by 3 snap locks.
-- Fully unscrew the locking ring nut of the TEFLON tube at the lower fitting of the transducer and detach the tube from
the fitting.
