Does anyone have the procedure for Calibrating the touch screen display on the Steris V-116 Sterilizer? I have a unit that does not respond correctly in different areas of the screen.

Any ideas? I was doing a pm and had issues with reaching pressure and temp during cycles. Found a hole in jacket steam trap and a warn busing where the jacket rtd is inserted into plumbing causing a leak. Replaced both and calibrated temp/pressure (x2). Checked my PRV and the feed line a the top for blockage. Checked S9. Not sure what is going on.

The Steam generator breaker keeps tripping. The hot water fill pump cycles off, then the element contactor actuates also the hot water pump kicks on again then both chatter for a moment and the breaker trips. All parts and questionable wiring have been replaced to eliminate the breaker from tripping. The initial issue was the steam generator will not heat because the breaker tripped. Steris is confused can't find the problem. WTF, any ideas?

my unit is taking nearly double since the last visit of the service team. our facility has since decided to cancel that contract and keep the money in house. It is now mine to troubleshoot, I have looked at all seals, and valves, and the steam trap, and have not been able to come up with why the cycles are taking so long, I checked the printout, and it appears that it is reaching pressure and temperature but it is taking quite a while to do so. I checkes service inputs, steam it at 60 psi, 287 degrees Fahrenheit, vapor quality is unknown. Water is at 60 psi, 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I am pretty new to the BIOMED world, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I'm looking for a service manual (I have the Users manual) for our "new to us" 2004 sterilizer. It was previously installed and working at a hospital but we are a Biological Extract manufacturer. We are pretty excited to have the sterilizer but would like the manual for reference. We are also looking to install the "Liquid Program" but have to wait on Steris to go through the motions. We are not using it as a Medical Device. If you have any information on how to load this app otherwise please share. The manual or program information can be emailed at amiles@twc.com. Thanks for the help!
