ChartRecorder(Optionalnotonallmodels)

Pleasereadthechartrecordermanualbeforeuseoftheautoclave.

The recorder is programmed to record the autoclave temperature on Channel 1. If the recorder is               

remote it should be mounted/placed adjacent to the autoclave and then using the leads from the               

recorder, connected to the matching sockets on the rear of the autoclave body. When positioned              

and connected to the autoclave, open the door of the recorder, place the chart paper in position                

and remove the white caps from the pens(the internal door can be opened to access the pens),                

valve may be closed to prevent the items exploding or blowing off lids or seals when the                

InternalTemperatureProbes(Optionalnotonallmodels)

If the autoclave is fitted with two internal temperature probes. To change these probes you must               

remove the side panel and unscrew the glands in which they enter the chamber. The probes are ‘K’                 

type thermocouple autoclave type and are connected to an external plug for monitoring by chart              
