Operation
The sterilizing cycle is fully automatic with the time, temperature and venting controlled by the microprocessor based digital controller. The sterilizing temperature can be set anywhere in a range from 225°F (107°C) and 250°F (121°C).
The onboard data logger records and stores the time, temperature, and pressure for each sterilization cycle. The stored data can be either retrieved using a USB drive through the inbuilt USB port or printed out using an external printer. (Printer not included.)
Two exhaust speeds are also available, slow and fast, depending on sterilizing media.

Unit must be grounded. Main supply voltage fluctuations are not to exceed ± 10% nominal supply voltage.
Service Connections
- Drain - 1/2" (13mm) N.P.T. of 3/8" (10mm) OD copper

- Heat of Rejection (Heat Loss Into the Room) 6,000 BTU'S
Water Supply and Drain Specifications
Good quality water feed is the responsibility of the owner. Water quality must be within the following general guidelines:
| TDS: |
40-125 ppm |
| Hardness: |
35-100 ppm |
| pH: |
7.0 - 8.5 |
| Silica: |
<13 ppm |
| Chlorides: |
<25 ppm |
| Chlorine: |
<0.2 ppm |
| Chloramine: |
<0.2 ppm |
The best defense against poor water quality is a water treatment system designed to meet your water quality conditions. Appliance to be installed with backflow protection according to federal, state or local codes.
Important: Exhaust line must be vented to the outside to eliminate the exhaust 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' (1.2 meters) above the unit and exceed 15' (4.5 meters) with a minimum of bends. The line should slope downward after leaving the sterilizer in order to ensure condensate drainage.
Important: Failure to comply with this outline will affect the sterilization process.
When an exhaust condenser is supplied; the following services must be provided: 1/2" (13mm) cold water: 1" (25mm) waste: 115V electrical line.
Clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction should be a minimum of 4" in the back and 2" on the sides.
