11971394_C Automatic Load/Unload System (ALUS) Operator Manual

Figure 4-2. Loader/Sterilizer/Unloader (Typical Installation)

The Loader is located at the Operating End (OE) of the sterilizer and the Unloader is at the Non-Operating End (NOE).

This is the most common installation.

Important Points

• On first operation make sure that there is no object obstructing the movement.

• When you run the rack feeder in, make sure that it does not hit the inside of the door of the sterilizer. The length

of the movement can be adjusted by changing the position of the stop-sensor. The stop sensor can be adjusted in

different position.

• After adjusting height of the loader and the movement of the feeder an automatic process of the loader/unloader

should be run without a load. Only after an initial successful load-less run, should a run with a load be made.

For trouble free operation of the loader/unloader, correct installation is of utmost importance.

IMPORTANT: The loaders/unloaders must be fixed in a straight line with the rail inside the sterilizer chamber.

IMPORTANT: It extremely important that the loader, unloader and sterilizer are installed in horizontal alignment.
