Editing steps
• To edit a program step highlight the corresponding line and press the
respective table header.
• To disable a step, set the number of cycles to "0". Only cleaning water
steps can be disabled.
The following characteristics of each step can be edited:
• Reagent name – only those reagents that are compatible with the re-
agent station being edited will be displayed.
• Number of cycles – the duration displayed is calculated based on the
number of cycles.
• Retort temperature – temperatures from 50 to 65 °C can be set.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
The finish times of clean programs cannot be edited. Program dura-
tion is calculated automatically based on the number of cycles set.
The station 13-ext can be assigned exclusively to reagents from the
cleaning water group. It may only be used for cleaning programs.
Station 13-ext
• The designation "13-ext" is used for an additional station that can be used
in place of the standard station 13.
• Station no. 13 always contains cleaning water. For some applications it
is desirable to use a cleaning water/agent mixture between the cleaning
alcohol and the cleaning water.
• If a program contains the step "Station 13-ext", the operator is prompt-
ed to insert the reagent container "13-ext" at the required point in time
during the cleaning program, then to remove it once it is no longer used.
