Only STERIS or STERIS-trained service personnel should make repairs and adjustments to this equipment.Maintenance done by inexperienced, unqualified personnel or installation of unauthorized parts could causepersonal injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly damage. Contact STERIS regarding service options.

Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance, in addition to the faithful performance of the minor maintenancedescribed within this manual, is required for safe and reliable operation of this equipment. Contact STERIS toschedule preventive maintenance.

To test or demonstrate emergency exit safety doors, first press EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton (located undercontrol) or pull emergency stop cable (inside wash chamber) to turn power OFF. If power is still on while adjustingor servicing doors, photoelectric sensor will detect movement of door panels and doors will open automatically.

WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD:Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield, when cleaningor removing debris from bottom of the wash chamber and from sump filters.

If doors are still slightly open (less than 2 inches [5 cm]) when power is restored after a power failure, control willapply pressure to complete closing. Lock building electrical supply disconnect switch in OFF position and closeunit air supply when opening doors after a power failure.

Keep hands/fingers away from closing doors to prevent crushing between the two doors.

Never perform cleaning of wash chamber until full cycle has been completed. If cycle has not been completed,contaminated debris or water may remain in the bottom of wash chamber.

To open doors from inside wash chamber, pull emergency stop cable. Washer operation will automatically stop.Then, push firmly between door panels using shoulder and upper arm, exerting force with upper body. Do not pushbetween the two doors, but between the door panels where indicated by arrows.

When doors are closing, a pinch point is created at the hinges. Keep fingers away from door hinges to preventpinching.

WARNING – ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND/OR BURN HAZARD:Disconnect all utilities to washer before servicing. Do not service washer unless all utilities have been properlylocked out. Always follow local occupational health and safety regulations, as well as electric and plumbing codes.

5-1Cycle and Control Value Programming Operator Manual 122998-050

IMPORTANT: A listing of the Safety Precautions to be observed when operatingand servicing the Basil® 9500 Cage and Rack Washer can be found in SECTION 1of this manual. Do not operate or service the equipment until you have becomefamiliar with this information.

The microcomputer control of the Basil 9500 Cage and Rack Washer allows theadjustment of programmed cycles and the creation of new cycles. Using thisfeature, cycles may be customized to process different types of loads.

The washer is preprogrammed with four basic cycles: RODENTS, BOTTLES,RABBITS, and PRIMATES. These cycles are programmed with default treat-ments and treatment values. In case of battery or memory failure, controlprogram will reset to these default values.

The control is also capable of storing parameters for up to six custom cycles.In addition to these ten programmable cycles, there are two cycles that cannotbe modified: DRAIN and DESCALER, which are used for maintenance pur-poses.

Table 5-1 summarizes the cycle default values, treatment parameters, andpossible parameters for customized cycles.

CYCLEMENU

The Change Values mode allows authorized operators to modify treatmentvalues of existing cycles or modify miscellaneous operating values.

All the values can be secured (or "locked-out") using a supervisor access code.

In Change Values mode, cycles are modified or created by selecting atreatment, then by modifying its values. The process is repeated for eachselected treatment until a customized cycle is completed.

Treatment values appear on the display screen in a sequential order whichis the same for all preprogrammed or custom cycles.

Treatments may be bypassed by setting time values to 0 except for Pre-Wash and Exhaust treatments.

NOTE: In the following sequence, tank and chemical names used are defaultfactory-set names. Tank and chemical names may be changed in Service modeto meet customer needs by a STERIS or STERIS-trained service technician.

The following procedure shows how to modify a cycle.

1. Position POWER-OFF/STANDBY switch, located behind printer door, toPOWER. Unit name temporarily appears on screen. Display shows:

* STERIS ** BASIL 9500 *

...then, first cycle menu appears:

The access code feature is used to prevent unauthorized changes toparameters of designated cycles and/or operating values by unauthorizedoperators. With this feature, access to cycle values may be selectivelylimited to authorized operators only, depending on security needs ofwasher environment. When access code is enabled, only authorizedoperators can change operating values.

ADVANTAGES OF ENABLING OR DISABLING ACCESS CODE: Enablingor disabling the access code can impact the efficiency of washingoperations. For that reason, the supervisor should carefully consider thechoices: if the access code is ON, the supervisor can ensure operators usethe washer within predetermined parameters; if the access code is OFF, thesupervisor can allow operators more flexibility in determining which cyclesto use and how to use them. The deciding factor should be what works bestfor the facility's operation.

6.7 Thermal PaperStorage

Thermal paper is subject to fading with time, humidity and exposure to light.

It is the manufacturer's recommendation that thermal paper be stored in a darkplace with an average ambient temperature of less than 77 °F (25 °C) and arelative humidity less than 65%. Under these conditions, the paper remainsreadable for at least five years. It is recommended that if printed data is to beretained for periods of time longer than 5 years (6-25 years), an additionalphotocopy should be made for record retention. In any case, a duplicate set ofrecords should be maintained in the files of the engineering or maintenancedepartments.

Thermal paper begins to develop color at about 158 °F (70 °C), however, underhumid conditions, it might begin to develop at an accelerated rate. If stored for24 hours at 140 °F (60 °C), the paper shows some signs of development. It alsoshows signs of development if stored for 24 hours at 113 °F (45 °C) and a relativehumidity of 90%.

Do not store thermal paper next to other chemically treated papers - such aspressure sensitive paper or other type of recording round charts - as this maycause fading in print. If thermal paper is to be stored in the same area, alwaysensure it and other chemically treated papers are kept in separate envelopes.

Thermal paper discolors when exposed to direct sunlight.
