Calibration Procedure 9:
for S-class G4 units with Rev. 7.x Board,
Software Rev. 7.xx, Sl 00R1.xx
This calibration procedure is for S-class STATIM 2000/5000 G4 units with revision 7.x type
controller boards and revision 7.xx software, SL00R1.xx
Important:
• Incorrect or inaccurate calibration may cause unsuccessful sterilization of instruments.
• Always calibrate the thermocouples after a thermocouple replacement, thermocouple bend or
disconnect, controller board replacement or microprocessor / EEPROM replacement, steam
generator replacement or probe bracket replacement.
• Make sure that there is sufficient steam-process distilled water in the unit prior to starting
calibration.
• S-class units contain electronic components which may be damaged or destroyed by electro-
static discharge (ESD). Observe appropriate safeguards when calibrating.
• There are specific error messages (cycle faults) for these board/software types. These can be
found in the Troubleshooting Cycle Faults section.
• In calibration mode no error messages are displayed.
• Boiler calibration is not required on these units.
• These units may be calibrated with the cover in place OR using the control box as all
adjustments are made using the touchscreen.
• There is NO reference voltage adjustment in these machines.
Calibration Procedure
Calibration of these boards should be done in the following order:
1. Chamber thermocouple/pressure transducer calibration
Required equipment and tools:
• Calibration cassette (appropriate to model)
• Digital thermometer
• Digital pressure meter
• Digital voltmeter
NOTE: Use of control box is optional. Calibration can be completed using touchscreen.
Setting up the unit for calibration:
1. Before starting calibration, turn the STAT
IM OFF.
2. The cover MAY be removed and the control box attached if deemed appropriate, but the unit
can be calibrated with the cover using the touchscreen.
3. Check that there is sufficient steam process distilled water in the reservoir, and that the
calibration cassette is correctly engaged in the STAT
IM.
4. Install the thermocouple into the cassette and attach the digital thermometer.
5. Ensure that the thermocouple and digital thermometer have matched serial numbers.
6. Attach the pressure reference meter to the pressure tube and the pressure tube to the test
cassette. (Self-locking couplings).
