ELARA11 INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Any operation described in this section should be performed by a qualified technician only.
1.
Unpacking the autoclave
a.
Unpack the autoclave and inspect for mechanical damage.
b.
Observe packing method and retain packing materials until the unit has been inspected.
c.
Mechanical inspection involves checking for signs of physical damage such as: scratched panel
surfaces, broken knobs, etc.
To avoid injuries, lifting and carrying of the autoclave should be done with two or more persons or
by using a mechanical aid.

Installation preparations
a.
Check and verify that the counter carrying the autoclave is a rigid and leveled surface and can
carry a load of 225 lbs (102kg). Attention: The Elara11 is not designed for use on a standard slide
out shelf. If it is necessary to use a slide out shelf, it must be tested and/or rated for 225 lb (102kg)
or more.
b.
Check and verify that the counter dimensions are at least 22" wide x 24" deep (55cm x 63.5cm).
c.
Keep the back and the sides of the autoclave 2" (5 cm) away from the wall to allow ventilation .
d.
If placed in a cabinet, verify that the rear of the cabinet is open to allow ventilation.
e.
Insufficient space for ventilation will result in a failure of the vacuum portion of the cycle.
f.
It is recommended that enough space be left around the autoclave to give a technician access for
servicing the machine.
g.
Check and verify that the room ventilation is 10 cycles per hour minimum.
h.
Check and verify that the ambient temperature range is 41°F - 104°F (5°C - 40°C); it is preferable
not to exceed 86°F (30°C).
i.
Check and verify that the ambient relative humidity does not exceed 85%.

  • Page 2 This unit is set at the factory for 100 kpa; this is the atmospheric pressure at sea level. If the unit is located more that 500 ft above or below sea level then the Atmospheric Pressure parameter must be set accordingly. See ATMPressure sec 7.2.7 in the Technicians Manual (or call Tuttnauer Technical Service at 800-624-5836).
  • Page 3 If the Vacuum Test is successful then select the B&D Test cycle. At this stage the chamber and steam generator will be heating up. It will take approximately 15 minutes (from selecting the B&D Test). While waiting for the unit to heat up explain and instruct the operator as follows (use the operation manual as reference): Operation principals of the autoclave.
