Statim 5000 Thermocouple Installation Guide









PART #SCT030-4017
Statim 5000 THERMOCOUPLE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Disconnect the power to the sterilizer.Remove the cover. Disconnect the two cables from the PC Board - one cable from the LCD Display Board and the other from the Keypad


  2. Inspect the old thermocouple’s tip position from the inside of the cassette bay (armature) for later reference. See Figure 1.

    If replacing the thermocouple because of a bent tip, straighten to allow for removal, see Service Tip.


  3. Disconnect the three (3) thermocouple wires at the PCB (see Figure 2) and cut all securing cable ties.

    At the rear of the probe bracket, locate the old thermocouple fitting and loosen the large inner compression nut, then slide out the old thermocouple with the small compression fitting assembly (see Figure 4).


  4. Measure the old thermocouple from the tip to the end of the compression fitting assembly – as shown in Figure 4.


  5. Use the measurement from Step #4, apply that same measurement to the new thermocouple.

    NOTE: For proper function, it is very important that the same measurement from the old thermocouple is applied to the new thermocouple so that the position of the new assembly when installed is the same as the old assembly.


  6. Hand tighten the small compression fitting nut down onto the new thermocouple and re-check the measurement.

    Using two (2) 5/16” wrenches, tighten down the small compression nut.

    CAUTION: Once the fittings are secured with the wrenches, the position cannot be changed.

    Now make a pencilmark on the top of the small compression fitting nut (see Figure 5).


  7. Pre-bend thermocouple tip as shown. Insert the new thermocouple assembly back into the probe bracket assembly and hand tighten the large compression fitting nut (see Figure 4).

    Be sure to keep the bend upwards by ensuring the mark on the small compression fitting nut is up (see Figure 4 & 5).


  8. Look inside the cassette bay (armature), verify that the tip of the new thermocouple is positioned slightly upwards as shown in Figure 1.

    Tighten the large compression nut using one 5/16" wrench and one 1/2" wrench.


  9. Carefully insert the cassette to verify proper fit.


  10. Bend the outer part of the new thermocouple up and over the probe bracket.

    CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends or kink the new thermocouple tube, maintain a minimum bend radius of 3/16” (5mm). See Figure 4.


  11. Run the wiring back to the PCB, secure using the Cable Ties (Part #RPT083) provided in this package. Refer to Figure 3.


  12. Reconnect the ribbon cables from the cover to the PCB (for ease of operation use an Extension Test Cable (Part #SCT026-527). See Figure 3.


  13. Run an “unwrapped cycle” and check for steam leaks at all new and existing connections. If leaks are found, repair themand repeat testing as necessary.


  14. If attached, remove Extension Test Cable and replace the cover. Repeat test cycle.
