Technical data & description

8 programs and special programs for LIQUIDS. Automatic drying function: For flawless sterilization results, with chamber heating. Microprocessor controlled system: Fully automatic control from automatic water supply through drying cycle. 8 programs for daily laboratory requirements. Dual water shortage protection: One for the water tank, one for the feed water. When the required water level is undercut, the "LOW-WATER" indicator lights up and an acoustic signal sounds. Door locking: Pressure control - no program can be started if the door is not completely closed. Cycle control: Autocheck of each individual work phase. After correct completion of the load, the "COMPLETE" indicator lights up. Preheating: The chamber is preheated using the built-in heating element. This reduces cycle time. Chamber pressure monitoring: Pressure switch, maximum temperature and mechanical safety valve. Vacuum/pressure reduction switch: Pressing this button interrupts the power supply and simultaneously reduces the chamber pressure or re-ventilates in case of vacuum. Electromechanical overheat protection. Maximum pressure limiter. Pressure safety valve. Mechanical pressure-dependent door locking. Reset/Emergency button. Chamber dimensions: 230 Ø x 410 H mm.
