SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SUMMARY
After isolating the cause of a malfunction using the troubleshooting guides, the
recommended remedy may require you to remove or replace a component in the
sterilizer. Observe the following safety precautions when removing and replacing
components.
a. Replacing the Transducers. When replacing the transducers, follow these
precautions:
(1) Shut off the main steam supply. Depressurize the steam in the system
before removing the transducer probes to prevent steam burns. Ensure that all liquids
are drained from the system. All steam lines will be hot.
(2) Depress the battery pack circuit breaker to OFF (O) to prevent
accidental contact with the low voltage circuit that could damage the power board.
(3) Depress both MAINS circuit breakers in the power box to OFF (O) to
prevent electrical hazards.
