Operation 9 1. Preparation for Use DAIHAN Autoclave is a kind of Steam Sterilizer. So the user should fill water into the pressure vessel before operating the unit. (NOTE) Distilled water should be used. The user should pour water to the pressure vessel, so the bottom part of the vessel (bottom cover) should sink under the water. (NOTE) If the water level is too low, the machine cannot start sterilization operation by the functioning of water level sensor equipped in the vessel. (NOTE) Closing of manual ventilation valve 7 must be checked. (NOTE) Opening of valve 16 must be checked as well. This valve can be closed only for the diagnostic purpose by an authorized engineer. Connect the power cord to the proper power socket. (NOTE) If you bye WAC-80 or WAC-100, power consumption of the heater in the vessel is too high to use normal wall socket. So, a big 3-pole plug (for single-phase 230V AC with ground) 13 comes with power cord, and a socket with wiring connector 14 is supplied together as seen in the picture. You have to wire the power line of enough electric power to the connector 14 before plugging in order to use the machine. Turn on the Main Switch 11. At this moment, if the water level in the vessel is not sufficient, LCD shows Low-Level error message with buzzer sound. In this case, supply more water until you can see the normal status (Set Timer mode) on the LCD. (NOTE) Set the OPT sensor knob 15 to 20~30 C higher than operation temperature (eg., If your operating temperature would be 121 C, proper value of the OPT sensor would be 150 C). Please be noted that the temperature on the scale is rough values. 2. Preparation and Placing of Materials All materials autoclaved must be placed in an autoclavable tray (wire basket delivered together with machine) with sides that are at least 5 inches in height. The use of trays should eliminate anything boiling over and spilling into the autoclave. Therefore, all materials must fit within this tray. Only autoclavable materials may be placed in the autoclave. If you are unsure if something is autoclavable, check with the manufacturer. Liquids to be autoclaved must be in an autoclavable vessel that is at least twice as large as the volume to be autoclaved (i.e. If you are autoclaving 1 liter of media, you need to put it in a flask that hold at least 2 liters). This allows for boiling during the cycle. Caps DAIHAN Scientific, WiseClave WAC Steam Sterilizers Digital Fuzzy-controlled Autoclaves. 20/51
must be slightly loose so that pressure created during the cycle does not cause the vessel to break. For screw cap containers you can make the lid hand tight and then loosen the lid by one-half turn. Dry goods (solids) must be placed in an autoclavable tray with 5-inch sides also. Garbage must be put in autoclavable bags and inside the autoclavable trays with 5-inch sides. Sharps containers must also go into the same type of autoclavable trays. To ensure proper sterilization of both garbage and sharps containers, 1 liter of water should be added to the bags or sharps containers. This water will vaporize during the autoclave cycle to allow better penetration of steam and more efficient sterilization. Autoclave garbage bags must be tied off. (WARNING) Use of non-autoclavable trays and containers may result in injury to the user and damage to the equipment. After placing the material to be autoclaved, close the lid 4 of pressure vessel by turning the lid handle 1 clockwise until it cannot be turned anymore. 3. Preview of Controller Mode Transition By the simple combination of MAIN button 19, SUB button 20 and Jog-shuttle knob 24, WAC autoclave offers outstanding simple user-interface with maximum efficiency and convenience for controlling overall functions of the machine - Patent registered The following diagram briefly shows the overall mode transition mechanism; Power ON SUB Set Timer mode Set Delay Timer mode MAIN MAIN SUB MAIN Set Temperature mode Set Temperature Offset mode MAIN MAIN SUB Locking mode Set Operation Cycle mode MAIN DAIHAN Scientific, WiseClave WAC Steam Sterilizers Digital Fuzzy-controlled Autoclaves. 21/51
4. Set Operation Cycle Mode WiseClave WAC autoclaves offer two different operation cycles named SOLID cycle mode and LIQUID cycle mode. As the name implies, LIQUID cycle is for autoclaving liquids while the SOLID cycle is for autoclaving solid or dry materials. With SOLID cycle mode operation, steam is ventilated out quickly after the completion of sterilization. On the other hand, with LIQUID cycle mode, steam is ventilated out very slowly after sterilization. The following table shows you the difference of the two cycles and proper use; Type of Cycle SOLID or fast exhaust LIQUID of slow exhaust Appropriate Material Dry goods, glassware, etc. Liquids Description This cycle charges the chamber with steam and holds it at a set pressure and temperature for a set period of time. At the end of the cycle, a valve opens and the chamber rapidly returns to atmospheric pressure. This cycle prevents sterilized liquids from boiling. Steam is exhausted slowly at the end of the cycle, allowing the liquids (which will be super-heated) to cool. By pushing MODE button 19 and SUB button 20 sequentially, you can enter into the Set Operation Cycle mode. Factory default mode is SOLID cycle. By pushing jog-shuttle knob 24, you can change the cycle, which is toggled by pushing repeatedly. Cycle shown on the LCD currently is the selected operation cycle. 5. Setting Timer 5.1 Set Operation Timer The initial mode after power-on is Set Operation Timer mode. TIMER lamp 21 is blinking. (NOTE) Operation Time means the Sterilization time. This timer begins to run (count down) when the Temp PV (present temperature) reaches the Temp SV (set temperature). Tim SV on LCD indicates set value of operation timer and Tim PV indicates present value (remaining time) of the timer. (NOTE) Initial value (SV) of the timer is 00:00, which means infinite time. With zero value of Timer SV, the machine cannot start operation. Turn the Jog-shuttle knob 24 then SV and PV change together. SV can be set in 1 minute, and the maximum value is 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes). Set required time by turning the Jog Knob 24 and PUSH it to complete the timer setting. Then timer is started and TIMER lamp 21 is on. DAIHAN Scientific, WiseClave WAC Steam Sterilizers Digital Fuzzy-controlled Autoclaves. 22/51
(NOTE) By pushing the jog-knob 24 with set value, the timer begins to operate but doesn t start actual counting before beginning sterilization. It counts down when the Temp PV (present temperature) reaches the Temp SV (set temperature) as mentioned above. The machine stops operation (heating) after the SV of timer has passed. 5.2 Set Delay Timer It turns to Set Delay Timer mode by pushing SUB button 20 in Set Operation Timer mode. TIMER lamp 21 is blinking. DTim SV on LCD indicates set value of delay timer and DTim PV indicates present value (remaining time) of the timer. Set required time using the Jog Knob 24 and push it to complete the timer setting. Then timer is started and TIMER lamp 21 is on. The machine starts operation (heating) after the SV of delay timer has passed. It returns to Set Operation Timer mode by pushing MAIN button (NOTE) While the machine is being operated already (by setting operation timer, temperature and heating start), delay timer operation cannot be set and started. 19. 6. Set Temperature 6.1 Set Temperature It turns to Set Temperature mode by pushing MAIN button 19 in Set Operation Timer mode. HEAT lamp 22 is blinking. Temp SV on LCD indicates set value of operation temperature and Temp PV indicates present value (measured value by temperature sensor in the pressure vessel) of the temperature. Turn the Jog-shuttle knob 24 then SV changes. SV can be set with the resolution of 0.1 C. The maximum value is 132.0 C and the minimum value is 25.0 C. Set required operating temperature by turning the Jog Knob 7 and PUSH it to complete the temperature setting. The controller starts operation of heater in order to reach the set temperature. HEAT lamp 22 is on. (NOTE) As mentioned in the section 5.1, the machine cannot start heating (sterilization) operation without setting the operation timer to non-zero value. 6.2 Temperature Offset WiseClave WAC autoclaves intelligently and precisely controls the temperature inside the pressure vessel by digital Fuzzy control system, so high precision with low over/undershoot is assured. But, some users want to synchronize the temperature PV of the machine to the temperature value measured by other thermometer that is used as a reference meter for the DAIHAN Scientific, WiseClave WAC Steam Sterilizers Digital Fuzzy-controlled Autoclaves. 23/51
whole experimental process. In such a case, WAC autoclaves offer a function of adjusting the temperature PV within 10.0 ~ +10.0 C User s self-compensation function. It turns to Set Offset Value mode by pushing SUB button 20 in Set Temperature mode. Temp PV on LCD indicates current temperature and Offset indicates the value to be added to PV temperature (compensation value). Turn the Jog-shuttle knob 24 then Offset and Temp PV changes together. Offset can be set with the resolution of 0.1 C, and input range is 10.0 to +10.0 C. Temp PV shows value added or subtracted by Offset value. It returns to Set Temperature mode by pushing MAIN button 19. 7. Locking Mode It turns to Locking mode by pushing MAIN button 19 in Set Temperature mode. In this mode, turning or pushing Jog knob doesn t work. So, you could prevent any changes of set values by mistake. Operation Timer PV and Temp PV are shown on LCD. It returns to Set Operation Timer mode by pushing MAIN button 19. 8. End of Sterilization When the set time has passed and the sterilization is finished, firstly heating is stopped, and then, the steam and pressure is exhausted out and the pressure is removed. User can identify this by buzzer sound for 30 seconds. As described in the section 4 of this chapter, the way of exhausting steam and pressure is different based on the operation cycle. In SOLID cycle mode, valve is opened completely and steam is discharged quickly. In LIQUID cycle mode, valve is not completely opened at a time. Firstly it waits for 5 minutes with valve closed after heater OFF. And then, the valve is opened during 3 seconds, after that the valve is closed again for 2 minutes, and then it reopens during 3 seconds, etc. This procedure repeats until the temperature comes down to 90 C (lasts approx. 30minutes), and then it waits until the temperature reaches down to 80 C with valve closed again. After that, the valve is closed completely. While steam is discharged out of the pressure vessel, the user cannot see the steam out. Steam in the vessel is converted into water by passing trough a specially designed steam condenser. This feature offers safety and convenience to the user. DAIHAN Scientific, WiseClave WAC Steam Sterilizers Digital Fuzzy-controlled Autoclaves. 24/51
9. After Sterilization When the sterilization is completed, pressure is exhausted through steam discharging automatically. You could check it with the pressure gauge 5 next to control panel. After the pressure comes down to 0 ~ 0.2 kg/cm 2, you may open the lid by turning lid handle counterclockwise. If you want to confirm the complete ventilation of the steam and pressure, you may use the manual ventilation valve 7 at this moment. If you want to remove the water remained in the vessel, you could do it with the drain valve. User can open the door at the left side of the body, and can find the water drain valve 17 there. Connect a kind of tube to the valve and open it, then the water remained in the vessel can be poured out. 10. Storage Function In each setting mode (Set Operation Timer mode, Set Delay Timer mode, Set Temperature mode, Set Offset Value mode and Set Operation Cycle mode), you can store the current set values by simply pushing the Jog knob for 1 second. For showing the value is successfully stored, the set value on LCD blinks three times. Even though you turn off the machine, the set values are stored permanently, so you can re-use the values for the next time of operation. 11. 비상시 Lid 잠금장치해제방법 (Emergency Lid unlock method) 본기기는사용상의안전을위해전자식 Lid 잠금시스템이장착되어있습니다. 하여전원이공급되지않거나기기전원부의이상이있을경우 Lid를 Open버튼동작으로열수가없게됩니다. 이런경우다음과같은방법으로 Lid를열어주십시오. < 그림.3> 비상시 Lid잠금장치해제방법 과같이 Lid중심축부위에 Lid잠금해제홀이있습니다. 이곳홀에적당한사이즈의도구 ( 육각렌치등 ) 을삽입하십시오. 개폐장치가열리는소리를확인하고도구의삽입상태를유지한상태로 Lid를들어올리십시오.
