GMP231 is designed to remain installed during typical heat sterilization cycles (maximum temperature inside
chamber 195 °C / 383 °F). To achieve this, you must install and operate the probe correctly:
• Only the sensor should be exposed to heat. The lter must be completely in the heated chamber, but
the probe must remain inside the unheated chamber wall. The probe body must not extend more than
5 mm into the chamber.
• During the sterilization cycle, you must turn o the CO
2
measurement, or power o the probe
completely.
• The installation tube must be sealed from the chamber side to limit heat conduction, and to prevent
CO
2
in the chamber from entering the probe. Vaisala recommends a 44 mm diameter installation tube
together with Vaisala’s silicone plug.
