M/C 3622, 3633 STEAM STERILIZERS
1. General
GENERAL
General
The 3600 series Sterilizers feature microcomputer controls that monitor and sequence all cycle phases. Both
audio and visual notification is provided for improper
equipment operation or component malfunction.
The 3600 sterilizer may be equipped with an automatic
power operated door or a manually operated door. A
Chart recorder or optional Message Center/Data Logger
is provided on all 3600 sterilizers.
All 3600 sterilizers can employ pressure pulsing to
condition goods prior to processing at the exposure
temperature.
The Model M/C 3622 is a gravity steam sterilizer with an
operating range from 100C to 135C (212F to 275F).
The M/C 3622 sterilizer employs steam pressure, pulsing on the wrapped goods cycle, to condition goods prior
to processing at the exposure temperature.
An M/C 3622 and M/C 3633 may either be a Single Door

or a Double Door unit.
Single Door units can be located in a wall opening
(recessed) or installed in the free-standing position
within a cabinet. Double Door units are located in wall
openings.
Single Door units are loaded and unloaded at the Control End (front) of the sterilizer. Double Door units are
generally loaded at the Control End, and unloaded at
the Remote End (back) of the sterilizer.
Units will be equipped with a track assembly designed
to accommodate Castle and possibly some other loading cars and transfer carriages, or optional Castle racks
and extendible shelves.
DOOR SAFETY OVERVIEW

Typical applications of the M/C 3622 sterilizer are
wrapped and unwrapped hardware, gowns or towels
and liquids in self-venting or unsealed containers.
The Model M/C 3633, is a vacuum steam sterilizer, has
a special low temperature capability with an operating
range of 76C to 99C (168F to 210F). The low temperature capability extends the operating range of the
3633 sterilizer from 76C to 135C (168F to 275F).
For the Unwrapped Instrument Cycle, the M/C 3633
sterilizer employs a gravity cycle. For a Wrapped Goods
Cycle, a pressure/negative (vacuum) pulsing is provided to conditions goods prior to processing. Vacuum
pulsing provides faster, more complete steam penetration for wrapped goods. During drying phase of the cycle
a vacuum is drawn to flush excess moisture.
W
CAUTION
350115
During a Multitherm (low temperature)

Cycle on the M/C 3633 a vacuum is
drawn to as low as 5 psia. Some media
may need to be sealed inside bottles
suitable for this pressure.
Manual DoorThe manual door has either a water- or

air-assisted locking mechanism. In either case, a diaphragm valve and a solenoid valve (12SOL) are in the
line to the door cylinder. The valves stop the flow of
water or air if the pressure in the chamber is greater than
3 psig or if a sterilizing cycle is in progress (6SSR is ON).
Solenoid valve (12SOL) is controlled by solid state relay
(6SSR). Control relay (1CR) receives a door switch
signal and allows solenoid valve (1SOLsteam to chamber) to activate when the door is closed and the cycle is
started.
Power Door A pressure switch is adjusted to deactivate the door motors when chamber pressure exceeds
3 psig. Control relay (1CR) receives a door switch
signal and allows solenoid valve
(1SOLsteam to
chamber) to activate when the door is closed and the
cycle is started.

ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE

In the event of an electrical power failure, the Selector/
Indicator Panel selections and sterilizer integrity will be
maintained for a short period (60 seconds minimum) by
a battery back-up system: (1) Panel indicators will remain on; (2) digital displays will turn off; and (3) if the
power failure occurs during a cycle, the sterilizer will
cease actively processing a load.
If electrical power is restored during the period the
battery is functioning, sterilizer operation will automatically resume. An Exposure Phase Time, if previously
displayed, may automatically re-set and begin again
from its initial starting point. This does not indicate a
sterilizer malfunction and aborting the cycle is not required.
If electrical power is not restored until after the battery
has depleted its charge, the Selector-Indicator Panel will
have to be turned back on, selections re-set, and the
cycle restarted from the beginning.
If an electrical power failure occurs during a processing
cycle, the operator should proceed as follows:
1. Check the Selector-Indicator Panel and note if (1)
the Indicators are still lit or if (2) no lights appear at
all.
If indicators are lit, the battery system, is functioning properly.
If no lights appear, the battery system is not

functioning properly (provided 60 seconds have
not elapsed). Notify qualified service personnel.
2. When electrical power is restored, check the Selector-Indicator Panel again.
If the indicators are still lit, the sterilizer has

automatically resumed operation.
If the indicators are off, and the sterilizer has not

automatically resumed operation: (1) press the
Controls ON Switch; (2) re-set the cycle selections; and, (3) restart the cycle from the beginning.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
MANUAL DOOR(S)
(Control End)
INITIAL CONDITION: Door is open.
NOTES
Solid state relay 6SSR is not energized, solenoid valve

12SOL (normally open) is open enabling the door cylinders.
1. When the cycle start is pressed, relay 6SSR will

energize which will close solenoid 12SOL and not
allow the door cylinder to operate. Relay 6SSR
de-energizes at the completion of a cycle or after a
cycle has been aborted. Also in series with solenoid
12SOL is a diaphragm valve which is closed, disabling the door cylinders, if there is pressure in the
chamber.
To lock the door: Manually swing the door to the closed

position, push the black door control knob in to seal the
door (cylinder shafts will retract). Relay 8SSR (Closed)
will energize when control relay 1CR is energized, when
switch 1SW (Door Plate) is activated. Relay 1SSR
(Steam to Chamber) will also be enabled (refer to note
#1, following).
Relay 7SSR (Sealed), in the main control box, will
energize when switch 2SW (Hook) is activated along
with 2SW (Right Hinge Lock) and 2SW (Left Hinge
Lock). LED indicator DS1 will also be on.
2. If the sterilizer is a double door model, the remote

end plate switch 1SW must be activated along with
the control end plate switch 1SW in order to energize control relay 1CR.
3. Remote end operation is the same as the control
end with the exception of the M/C SSR numbering
(i.e., 9SSR, 10SSR, 11SSR and 13SSR).
INITIAL CONDITION: Door is closed and locked (7SSR

and 8SSR are on). 6SSR is not energized (12SOL to
door cylinder is open).
To open the door: Pull the black door control knob
outward to unseal the door (cylinder shafts extends).
Switch 1SW will de-activate which will de-energize control relay 1CR, which in turns off 8SSR and disables
relay 1SSR. Switch 2SW (Hook) will deactivate along
with 2SW (Right Hinge Lock) and 2SW (Left HInge
Lock) which will turn off 7SSR. LED indicator DS1 will
be OFF.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
POWER DOOR (S) (Control End)
INITIAL CONDITION: Door is open.
Solid state relay 6SSR is off and relay 12SSR is on.
Hinge and non-hinge shaft open LED indicators DS11
& DS8 are on.
To lock the door: Press the DOOR SEAL switch. Solid

state relay 6SSR will energize signaling the door control
logic to seal the door. Relay 0SSR in the door control
box 15A will energize which will enable the hinge side
motor 1B to rotate to the closed position (door swings
closed). At this time the hinge side close LED indicator
DS10 will be ON and motor 1B will turn off.
Relay 2SSR in the door control box 15A is then energized which enables the non-hinge side motor 2B to
rotate to the close position, turning on the non-hinge
side close LED DS7 (door hook swings over the door).
The door control logic will then energize relay 8SSR
door closed. Both 0SSR & 2SSR relays will be energized to seal the door. The hinge side will stop rotating
(0SSR off) when the hinge side lock LED DS12 is on.
The non-hinge side will stop rotating (2SSR off) when
the non-hinge side lock LED DS9 is on.
At this time door plate switch 1SW will be activated as
indicated by LED DS4 being on. Control relay 1CR will
also be energized along with 4SSR (energized with
hinge lock LED DS12 ON) and 5SSR (energized with
non-hinge lock LED DS9 ON) enabling steam to chamber relay 1SSR to control solenoid 1SOL. The door
logic will then energize door sealed relay 7SSR (in main
control box) through the now activated hook switch
2SW.
INITIAL CONDITION: Door is closed and locked.
The door sealed relay 7SSR (located in the main control

box) will de-energize. As the door unseals and the door
plate switch 1SW along with 4SSR (as hinge lock LED
12 goes off) and 5SSR (as non-hinge lock LED 9 goes
off) is de-activated, control relay 1CR will be de-energized disabling the steam to chamber relay 1SSR. Relay
3SSR in control box 15A will then energize, enabling the
non-hinge motor 2B to rotate to the close position, then
on to the open position (hook swings away from the
door). The closed relay 8SSR will turn off.
When the non-hinge side is open and DS8 is on, relay
3SSR will de-energize. Relay 1SSR is then energized
until the hinge side is open and DS11 is on (door swings
open).
NOTES
1. If the sterilizer is a double door unit, both doors must
be sealed, (1SW activated which energizes 1CR for
both the control and remote end and 4SSR, 5SSR
energize both ends) in order to enable steam to
chamber relay 1SSR to control solenoid valve
1SOL.
2. If the sterilizer is a double door unit, the interlock
input signal from the opposing door must be active
in order to operate the given door.
The interlock signal is activated when the door plate
switch 1SW for the opposite door is made. This
operation is controlled through relay 7SSR, located
in the door control box, which is energized to enable
power to the door motor.
3. Door closed relays 8SSR (control end) and 9SSR
(remote end) will be energized for any door shaft
position between closed and locked. These relays
will be off between closed and open.
The shaft position indicators for open, close, and
lock, DS7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (hinge and non-hinge
sides) will only be on when the respective shaft is
at its discrete open, closed, or locked position. They
may, however, be on only momentarily since the
shafts may move off the sensors.
Solid state relays 6, 7, 8 & 12SSRs are on. The hinge

and non-hinge shaft locked indicator LEDs DS12 & DS9
are on along with 4SSR and 5SSR respectively. Door
plate switch 1SW, LED DS4 is also ON.
To open the door: Press the DOOR OPEN switch.

Relay 6SSR will de-energize, signaling the door control
logic to open the door. Relay 1SSR (located in the door
control box 15A) will energize, enabling the hinge side
motor 1B to rotate to the open position.
1-32

Remote end door operation is same as control end

with the exception of the M/C SSR numbering (i.e.,
SSR9, 10, 11 & 13) and door motor designation (i.e.,

SOLID STATE RELAY (SSR) LIGHTS
This section contains a description of how the sterilizer

functions and an electromechanical cycle phase description of type of cycle. A list and location of the
components, a piping schematic and wiring diagrams
are to be used with the cycle phase descriptions.
Each action during a phase will be indicated by a

numbered SSR light located in the panel control box.
USING THE PIPING SCHEMATIC/

CYCLE PHASE DESCRIPTIONS
An exception is 12SOL which is actuated by 6SSR on

the manual door unit. This valve is normally open and
is used to stop water flow to the manual door cylinders
during a cycle.
The piping schematics and the cycle phase drawings

should be used in conjunction with the cycle phase
descriptions for each model.
350115
When an SSR light is ON, the corresponding solenoid

valve should be energized. All two-way solenoids used
in this equipment are normally closed.
NOTE
On manual door units, a 12-second delay will occur from the time the door has
sealed until the cycle starts. This is to
ensure complete door cylinder retraction.

SOLENOID VALVES TROUBLESHOOTING

(ALL MODELS)
Reasons for Malfunction
There are many reasons a solenoid valve can malfunction. Although commonly thought to be complex,
solenoid valves are actually simple operating devices.
Many of the problems that cause valve malfunction
originate outside of the valve. Other problems stem from
misapplication or improper installation.
Troubleshooting should begin with checking the voltage
and pressure input to the valve. The problem could be
an inoperative control relay or a fluctuating pressure
regulator. If the valve is receiving the proper voltage and
pressure the valve itself should be checked. The main
reasons a direct acting solenoid valve fails to operate
when electrical power is applied are:
Low voltage or absence of voltage.

Burned out solenoid valve coil.
System pressure higher than the rating of the valve.
Foreign matter in the valve.
Binding core or damaged core tube.
Correct Operation
If a solenoid valve is operating correctly, the core will
move within the core tube and contact the plug nut when
the coil is energized. A sharp, metallic click will be heard.
Absence of a click usually means that the coil is not
receiving any voltage, or that the input voltage is too low.
Voltage applied to the coil must be at least 85% of the
nameplate voltage rating.
A click may also be absent if the line pressure is higher
than the valve pressure rating. If it is confirmed that the
valve coil is receiving the proper voltage the system
pressure should be checked.
Foreign Matter in Valve
Foreign matter in the valve prevents the solenoid core
from moving freely in the core tube. The valve can not
operate and no click will be heard.
long period of time. Movement will be restricted if the

disc is swollen or cut, or if the core tube is damaged.
Causes of Valve Failure
A pilot-operated valve might fail to operate when energized even though a click is heard. Absence of flow
through the valve may be caused by:
Insufficient pressure drop across the valve.

Ruptured diaphragm or damaged piston ring.
Plugged or restricted pilot orifice.
Both pilot-operated and direct-acting valves can fail to

operate when de-energized because of:
Faulty control circuit.

Scale or foreign matter in the valve.
Damaged seat or disc.
Binding core or damaged core tube.
Broken spring.
In addition to these problems, common to both pilot-operated and direct-acting valves, the following problems
can cause a pilot-operated to malfunction when de-energized.
Plugged bleed orifice.

Damaged pilot seat or pilot disc.
Damaged diaphragm or piston.
Insufficient pressure drop across the valve.
Excessive solenoid noise (hum and chatter), sometimes

encountered in valve operation, can be caused by:
Low voltage
Faulty relay or improper electrical control signal.
Loose solenoid parts.
Foreign matter on core or plug nut face.
Worn core or plug nut face.
Damaged spring.
High system pressure.
The core movement can also be restricted if the top of

the core is peened over from continual operation over a

BATTERY BACKUP
TEST
1. Be sure the battery has been charging for at least
24 hours.
7. Turn ON the orange circuit breaker and do a voltage

check on the control board across pin 1 to pin 4 of
J1. This voltage should be above 7.3-7.5 volts. If
not, replace the battery pack.
2. Turn ON the sterilizer controls. When the ready light

lights, select a cycle and note the settings.
8. If the voltage is above 7.5 volts for five minutes

replace the Power Supply Board.
3. Turn OFF the white circuit breakers on the power

box and note which indicators are ON.
9. Turn OFF the orange circuit breaker and return all

wiring to its original configuration.
4. The digits should be off, and any indicator that was

ON in step 2 should still be ON.
Battery Charging Circuit Test
NOTE
IMMEDIATE TEST FAILURE: When the

circuit breakers are turned OFF all LED
indicators lights also turn OFF.
NOTE
Battery Charging Circuit failures occur

rarely. None have been reported.
5. Leave the unit in this condition for approximately

five minutes. The indicators should remain lit.
1. Turn ON all circuit breakers on the power supply

box.
6. Turn ON both white circuit breakers and verify that

the digits come ON with the same settings as noted
in step 2.
2. Open the 2A main control box.
7. If the unit passes the test, the battery system IS

functioning. The test is complete.
8. If the unit fails the test, proceed to Troubleshooting a Battery Test Failure..
Troubleshooting a Battery Test Failure
1. Turn OFF all circuit breakers on the power supply
box. Open 1A power box.
2. Find the 2P Burndy plug coming from the negative
side of the battery. Using a Burndy pin extraction
tool (part number 532046), remove the wire with pin
labeled 1A2P1.
3. Make a voltage check on the control board between

1J1 negative and 1J4 positive. Results: Voltage
should be between 9.1 volts DC and 9.7 volts DC.
4. Turn OFF the orange circuit breaker on the power
supply box and recheck voltage on control board
1J1 negative and 1J4 positive.
5. This voltage should be between 9.1 and 9.7 volts.
If it is, the charging circuit on the control board is
good.
6. If the voltage is not between 9.1 and 9.7 volts, the
charging circuit is bad. Replace the control board.
3. Remove the wire with pin labeled 1A5P1 from 5P

burndy plug. This wire is from the power supply
board to the 2A control box.
4. Replace the Burndy plugs into their original positions.
5. Connect the two wires together (insert pins together) and wrap with electrical tape to prevent
them from shorting.
6. This check will bypass the power supply PC board
eliminating a possible cut-off circuit problem. (Refer
to Figure 41).

Wiring DiagramBattery Backup & Cutoff Circuit
Operation of Battery Back-Up System
The battery back-up system consists of an 8VDC battery pack, a 5A circuit breaker, a cutoff circuit, and a
charging circuit. During normal operation, the battery is
maintained at 8 volts via the charging circuit located on
the control board. During a 120 VAC power failure, the
battery instantly provides power to the control system to
maintain its normal state. The cutoff circuit monitors the
battery voltage during discharge and shuts OFF the
battery when the voltage gets too low (7.3-7.5).
4-16
The duration between the 120 VAC power failure and

battery cutoff is specified to be a minimum of 1 minute.
Although we do not claimlonger times, the duration can
last up to 60 minutes depending on current draw, battery
cutoff setting, and battery condition. An example of this
extreme would be on a 3522 single door with a 7.3 cutoff
setting and a new battery. The cutoff circuit is located
on the power PCB (p/n 511411). For further details of
the battery back-up system, see the Electronic Reference Manual (350064).

5. Adjustments & Calibrations
DOOR CLOSURE
Adjustments
& Calibrations
Principles of Operation
The closure design seals by means of eight large hooks
mounted on eccentric bearings. When the door is
opened, rotation of the eccentric bearings releases the
hooks 1/2" to relieve pressure on the door gasket and
allow the four hooks on the non-hinge side to clear the
locking bars.
The locking bars are on the edge of the door plate (see
Figure 51) are from a 30 degree ramp that matches the
angle of the adjusting screws in the hook tip which carry
the pressure load. When the door is closed the hooks
pull the door against the gasket and also pull the door
plate to the side lessening deflection of the door (see
detail A in Figure 11). With a larger angle on the locking
bars than the side pull from the door hooks, the hooks
inherently stay engaged, even if the eccentrics rotate
open.
The shafts and eccentrics are mounted inside self-lubricating filament wound PTFE bearings. Large brass
washers are mounted on either side of the hooks to act
as spacers and to protect the bearings from dust. The
washers are held in place with E-clips to prevent the
eccentrics from dropping out and to keep the shafts from
riding up and down. The bottom hooks carry the load of
the door/hook assembly so they have stainless steal
washers with needle bearings under them (see Figure
52).
The door is mounted on hinged blocks suspended between the hooks. A slot in the hinge blocks allows the
door plate to move in and out. A set screw in each hinge
block limit the outward travel of the door. A door stop
(see Figures 55 and 524) on the non-hinge shaft
centers the door by stopping its horizontal travel from
the eccentric motion when the door is closed. This door
stop along with the hinge side stop block have vertical
pins to indicate the fully locked position of the shafts.
Both shafts have pins through them which touch the pins
in the door stop and the stop block when the shafts are
fully locked (top dead center through the line of force).
A hinge bracket (Figures 58 and 526) at the top of the
door keeps the door 90 degrees from the hooks but yet
allow this angle to change during sealing and unsealing
(due to the eccentric action).
On power door sterilizers only, detent assemblies (Figure 57) are mounted on both shafts to force the hooks
to rotate with the shafts at certain angles to facilitate
door opening. A spring is attached to the non-hinge
hooks to enhance the motion of the hooks. Springs are
not included on the hooks on the hinge side for safety
reasons.
NEW STYLE DOOR SHAFTS

New style door shafts no longer use retaining rings
placed into grooves above and below the door hooks
(see Figure 5-3). Two-piece collars are now used above
the bottom hook and the second hook from the top. The
same type collar is used below the third hook from the
top. The grooves, formerly used to accommodate the
retaining rings, are no longer cut into the door shafts.

POWER
DOOR
& CalibrationPower Door
DOOR INTERFERENCE
If an obstruction stops the door when it is opening or
closing, press the selector switch for the opposite direction from which the door was moving. This will
re-engage the door mechanism.
DOOR MOTOR OVERLOAD CONTROL
In addition to a timer control that opens the circuit when
the motor stalls, there is also an automatic thermal
cut-out located in the motor housing.
If the motor overheats, the electrical supply is interrupted until the motor cools and the thermal cut-out
resets itself.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT (MECHANICAL)
Before starting any door adjustment, the following
checks and inspections should be made.
1. Remove the cover panels from the door and locking
hooks.
2. Thoroughly clean dust and dirt from the entire
mechanism.
3. Inspect the door mechanism.
Check for loose or worn parts. Note: center

hooks are not solidly attached to the angles,
they are allowed to float.
Check for loose or worn shaft couplings. The
shaft couplings must be tight with no slippage
between coupled shafts. The shaft mechanism
must rotate as one unit with maximum of 5
degrees play. Excess play will require key replacement.
4. Check door locking bars for cracks in bars and

welds. Replace or repair defective parts.
Note: All repair welding to be done by certified
welder only. (Replacement pad part number
518104).
5. Check door plate for flatness. When measuring

door plate in field use either a steel straight edge or
piece of string. Measurements must be made approximately one inch away from radius of corners.
Within a 24" length, 1/16" bow is acceptable.
From 24" to full length, 1/8" bow is acceptable.
6. Check for hook binding. With the non-hinge spring

disconnected and the detent hook pre-load removed the hook assemblies should move freely
with the shafts in both the locked and closed position. Binding can be relieved by removing the shouldered screw on the center hooks. If binding still
persists, remove the angle from outside hooks.
7. Inspect the door gasket, replace if necessary. See
Replacing the Door Gasket (see page 616).
Always clean a new gasket before and after

installation.
Clean gasket and end ring with alcohol.
Door Alignment
Adjust door plate so it is centered on the gasket ring
(side to side and top to bottom) and the tip of the
non-hinge hooks touch the door angle evenly. Refer to
detail A in Figure 51.
Raise or lower the door by adding or removing washers
on the hinge shaft between the lowest hook and the
hinge block.
Horizontally center the door plate using the door stop
on the non-hinge shaft see Door Stop Adjustment
(Non-Hinge Shaft) on page 524.
Door sag is affected by the alignment of the hooks. The
hooks must be secured to the hook angle squarely. If
door sags after hooks are checked and aligned properly,
shim washers may be inserted between the bottom
hinge block and the door angle.
N
NOTE
350115
It is more important to have the nonhinge hook tips evenly touching the door
angle than to have the door exactly level.

EXIT MANUAL
Stop Block Adjustment (Hinge Shaft)
The stop block on the hinge shaft limits the travel of the
door shaft when the door is operated manually. To
adjust the stop block, start with the door closed but
NOT locked.
Loosen the lock nuts and adjust both adjusting screws
so there is 1/32 inch (0.8mm) clearance between the
screw and the sterilizer body when the stop block is
parallel to the body. Tighten lock nut.
The free movement of the block after adjustment prevents excessive friction on the shaft.
N
NOTE
FIGURE 54.
To compensate for heat expansion conditions during operating conditions, the

adjustment should be made with a hot
chamber and door.
Door Stop Adjustment (Non-hinge Shaft)

N
NOTE
The door stop on the non-hinge shaft limits the travel of

the locking hooks shaft when the door is operated
manually. The tip of the door stop tip also holds the door
plate centered horizontally on the gasket ring when the
door is sealed. To adjust the door stop, start with the
door closed but NOT locked.
1. Loosen the lock nut and adjust the rear screw so
the end of the screw is touching the sterilizer body
with the door stop tip touching the centered door
plate. Tighten lock nut.

2. Loosen the lock nut and adjust the front screw so
there is 1/32 inch (0.8mm) clearance between the
screw and the sterilizer body with the door stop tip
touching the centered door plate (see top view Figure 55). Tighten lock nut.
The free movement of the block after adjustment
prevents excessive friction on the shaft.
3. Adjust the set screw in the detent roller arm so the
arm is parallel to the door stop. The roller should
deflect as the door plate strikes the roller and holds
the door closed at the end of a cycle.
Roller deflection pressure can be adjusted by adding or removing washers behind the spring.
Door Gasket Seal Adjustment
1. Remove the covers from the locking hooks and the
door. DO NOT detach the hook cover from the
rubber boot. Prop the hooks cover to the side.
C
CAU T I O NS
Take care not to damage gasket when

pulling the gasket from lower left corner
of gasket groove. The gasket is inserted
on the gasket pressure tube at this point.
2. Start at top, pull gasket from the gasket groove.

3. Clean the gasket and mating surface of the head
ring with a damp cloth. Use alcohol for hard to
remove substances.
4. Remove the jam screws (see detail A in Figure 51)
from on top of the door adjustment screws in the
locking hooks. Loosen the adjusting screws slightly.
N
NOTE
Application of a non-permanent liquid

thread lock is recommended for the adjusting screws for final adjustment.
5. Loosen the set screws in the hinge block which

limits hinge shaft travel (see Figure 56).
6. Lock the door. The door will be loose due to no
gasket.
7. With the door touching the gasket ring, turn all door
adjusting screws (in hooks) in until they touch the
door pads. Start with non-hinge to pull door against
door stop. Double check the adjustment of each
screw.
FIGURE 56.
HINGE BLOCK
8. Replace the door gasket, be sure the pressure tube

is inserted into the hole in the gasket. See Replacing the Door Gasket (refer to page 616 in this
manual).
W
WARNING
Do not get fingers between the hook and

the edge of the door when inserting shim.
Serious injury could result when the door
is sealed.
9. Insert a 1/8 inch thick shim between the end of the

uppermost hook where it contacts the edge of the
door as the door is sealed. The shim simulates the
thickness of the stainless steel door and hook covers.
If the door lock switches do not trip (door seal
indicator stays on) the adjustment is too tight, readjust door seal. DO NOT ALTER SWITCH ADJUSTMENT.
10. Check for 1/16 inch (even) gap between the door
plate and the gasket ring. If gap is incorrect, repeat
Steps 2 thru 9.
11. With the door locked, tighten the hinge block set
screws (Figure 56) until they touch the hinge shaft,
then back them off 1/2 turn. This allows door plate
to float during vacuum phase.
Check Door Switch Adjustment. These screws
take out some of the play in the door, especially with
manual swing (see page 512).
12. Open the door and reassemble hook and door
covers.\
Back each screw out 1/2 turn and install the jam
screws.

Door Detent Adjustment
(Early Models Only)
To adjust the tension on the torsion spring:
1. Hold the hex collar with a wrench to control the
spring tension.
Hinge Bracket Adjustment

The hinge bracket is used to align the door with the
hinge side hook angle. This adjustment changes the
angle between the door and hook, allowing the door
edge to close at different horizontal locations.
2. Loosen the small hex head bolt until there is no

pre-load on the spring.
1. The spring on the hinge bracket adjustment bolt

should be compressed 1/4 inch. Use the spring
compressing nut to make this adjustment.
3. Give the hex collar 1/8th of a turn counterclockwise

on a right hand door or clockwise on a left hand
door. Tighten hex bolt.
2. Loosen the set screw in the upper and lower hinge

blocks, approximately two turns.
4. When properly adjusted the non-hinge hook travel

can be reversed while it is in motion without disengaging the hooks detent, but will break away if an
obstruction is contacted.
N
NOTE
Excessive pre-load on the torsion spring

may cause abnormal wear to the dog
and could cause the detent to not disengage when coming in contact with an
obstruction.
3. With the door closed and locked, tighten the set

screws in both hinge blocks until they touch the
hinge shaft, then back them out 1/2 turn. Open the
door.
4. Close the door; the edge of the door should touch
the roller allowing it to hold the door closed. The
edge of the door should just miss the door stop. As
the door seals it will move toward the door stop due
to eccentric action.

DOOR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

Magnetically activated switches signal the control system to prevent a cycle operation if the door is not closed
and locked. The switches must be checked with the door
in the closed and locked position. The door is locked
when the roll pins in the door shafts and stop blocks are
touching.
Switch adjustment consists of aligning the switches and
magnets with the holes in the covers and moving the
switches close enough to the magnets to be activated.
N
NOTE
This adjustment should be done after the

door has been checked for proper alignment. A misaligned door may lock up in
a different position each time.
The magnets must be lined up exactly concentric with

the face of the switch to within 1/16" when the door is in
the locked position. A gap of 1/16" ( 1/32") between
the magnets and the swtiches must also be maintained
when the door is in the tlocked position. See Figure
511.
3. A 1/16" ( 1/32") gap between the face of the switch

and the magnet is to be maintained. The magnet
must be close enough to activate the switch but
must not strike the switch when the door is closed.
Adjustments can be made by placing shims behind
the switch assembly mounting bracket. If necessary, the sensors can be adjusted laterally bye
repositioning plastic mounting nuts that hold sensors in place. (See Figures 511 and 512.)
4. Adjust the switch bracket so that the face of the
manget is concentric with the switch face to within
1/16". (See Figure 511.) This may require opening
and closing the door several times in order to make
the required adjustments.
5. With door in locked position, verify alignment (concentricity) of switches and magnets and 1/16" gap
between switches and magnets. Readjust if necessary.
1. With door in locked position, not the location of Hall

Effect switches and magnets.
N
NOTE
It may be necesssary to remove door

2. Open the door and adjust the switch and/or switch

bracket so the face of the switches are aligned in
the center of the elongated hole in the cover and so
the trim plate on the switch is against the inside of
the cover.

the door switch. Steam will enter the
chamber and could cause possible
burns from steam escaping from the
door opening. The control panel should
be OFF and the steam supply to the
sterilizer should be OFF during this test.
The door switches are located just below the chamber

opening at the non-hinge side. These switches introduce an extra level of safety to prevent steam from
entering the chamber or a cycle from starting while the
door is open. The hall effect switches sense the south
pole of a magnet up to 3/16" when the magnet and
switch are concentric. The adjustment of these switches
should be checked every three months to ensure proper
operation. The sterilizer should be cool when performing this test.
1. With the door in the fully open position, as indicated

by the Door Unsealed indicator on the selector
panel, the NH OPEN (DS8) and H OPEN (DS11)
LEDs in the door control box (on side of sterilizer)
will turn ON.
N
NOTE
All LEDs except DS4 may remain ON or

stay on only briefly. DS numbers are
stamped on PC Board.
2. Press the Door Close selector switch on the control panel while holding the door from closing. Allow
both the non-hinge shafts and the hinge shaft to
rotate to the fully closed position.
The display will indicate Door Unsealed and the
NH CLOSE (DS7) and the H CLOSE (DS10) LEDs,
in the door control box, will be ON as well as 8SSR
in the main control box.
3. Press the Door Seal switch on the control panel
while continuing to hold the door from closing. Allow
both the hinge shaft and the non-hinge shaft to
rotate to the fully locked position.

NOTE

NOTE
During the vacuum portion of a cycle the

door will move closer to the magnet. A
1/16" gap is therefore required at atmospheric pressure.
If an adjustment is required, the magnet or magnet

bracket can be moved slightly.
CHECK
1. With the door in the open position, detach the
stainless steel cover from the non-hinge side hooks
(do not detach cover from rubber) and swing the
cover aside. Place a support under the door cover
to prevent tearing of the rubber boot.
2. To compensate for the thickness of the stainless
steel cover that was removed, a 1/16" thick shim
must be inserted where the uppermost hook bears
against the side of the door panel. If the shim is not
used the magnets may not line up with the switches
properly.
If the door panel has also been removed, a 1/8" thick
shim is required.
3. The magnets must be lined up exactly concentric
with the face of the switch when the door is in the
locked position to function properly. This concentricity is even more important than the gap between
the switch and magnet.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT (MECHANICAL)
Before starting any door adjustment, the following

checks and inspections should be made.
7. Inspect the door gasket, replace if necessary. See

Replacing the Door Gasket (page 616).
1. Remove the cover panels from the door and locking

hooks.
Always clean a new gasket before and after

installation.
2. Thoroughly clean dust and dirt from the entire

mechanism.
Clean gasket and end ring with alcohol.
3. Inspect the door mechanism.
Check for loose or worn parts. Note: center

hooks are not solidly attached to the angles,
they are allowed to float.
Check for loose or worn shaft couplings. The

shaft couplings must be tight with no slippage
between coupled shafts. The shaft mechanism
must rotate as one unit with maximum of 5
degrees slop. Excess play will require key replacement.
4. Check door locking bars for cracks in bars and

welds. Replace or repair defective parts.
Note all repair welding to be done by certified welder
only. (Replacement pad part number 518104).
5. Check door plate for flatness. When measuring
door plate in field use either a steel straight edge or
piece of string. Measurements must be made approximately one inch away from radius of corners.
Door Alignment
Adjust the door plate so it is centered on the gasket ring
(side to side and top and bottom) and the tip of the
non-hinge hooks touch the door angle (see detail A Figure 11) evenly.
Raise or lower the door by adding or removing washers
on the hinge shaft between the lowest hook and the
hinge block.
Horizontally center the door plate using the door stop
on the non-hinge shaft see Door Stop Adjustment
(Non-Hinge Shaft).
Door sag is affected by the alignment of the hooks. The
hooks must be secured to the hook angle (see Figure
1-1) squarely. If door sags after hooks are checked and
aligned properly, shim washers may be inserted between the bottom hinge block and the door angle.
N
Within a 24" length, 1/16" bow is acceptable.
From 24" to full length, 1/8" bow is acceptable.
NOTE
It is more important to have the nonhinge hook tips evenly touching the door
angle than to have the door exactly level.
6. Check for hook binding. With the side cylinder water

line disconnected the hook assemblies should
move freely with the shafts in both the locked and
closed position. Binding can be relieved by removing the shouldered screw on the center hooks. If
binding still persists, remove the angle from outside
hooks.

EXIT MANUAL
The stop block on the hinge shaft limits the travel of the
door shaft when the door is operated manually. To
adjust the stop block, start with the door closed but NOT
locked.
Loosen the lock nuts and adjust both adjusting screws
so there is 1/32 inch (0.8mm) clearance between the
screw and the sterilizer body when the stop block is
parallel to the body. Tighten lock nut.
The free movement of the block after adjustment prevents excessive friction on the shaft.
N
NOTE
To compensate for heat expansion conditions during operating conditions, the

adjustment should be made with a hot
chamber and door.

NOTE
It is necessary to remove the hook covers before performing the following

procedure.
The door stop on the non-hinge shaft limits the travel of

the locking hooks shaft when the door is operated
manually. The tip of the door stop tip also holds the door
plate centered horizontally on the gasket ring when the
door is sealed. To adjust the door stop, start with the
door closed but NOT locked.
1. Loosen the lock nut and adjust the rear screw so
the end of the screw is touching the sterilizer body
with the door stop tip touching the centered door
plate. Tighten lock nut.

there is 1/32 inch (0.8mm) clearance between the
screw and the sterilizer body with the door stop tip
touching the centered door plate (see top view Figure 524). Tighten lock nut.
The free movement of the block after adjustment
prevents excessive friction on the shaft.
3. Adjust the set screw in the detent roller arm so the
arm is parallel to the door stop. The roller should
deflect as the door plate strikes the roller and holds
the door closed at the end of a cycle.
Roller deflection pressure can be adjusted by adding or removing washers behind the spring.
1. Remove the covers from the locking hooks and the
door. DO NOT detach the hook cover from the
rubber boot. Prop the hooks cover to the side.
C
CAUTION
Take care not to damage gasket when

pulling the gasket from lower left corner
of gasket groove. The gasket is inserted
on the gasket pressure tube at this point.
2. Start at the top and pull the gasket from the gasket
groove.

8. Replace the door gasket, be sure the pressure tube

is inserted into the hole in the gasket. See Replacing the Door Gasket (see page 616).
W
WARNING
Do not get fingers between the hook and

the edge of the door when inserting shim.
Serious injury could result when the door
is sealed.
9. Insert a 1/8 inch thick shim between the end of the

uppermost hook where it contacts the edge of the
door as the door is sealed. The shim simulates the
thickness of the stainless steel door and hook covers.
3. Clean the gasket and mating surface of the head

ring with a damp cloth. Use alcohol for hard to
remove substances.
If the door lock switches do not trip (door seal

indicator stays on) and the water cylinder does not
retract, the adjustment is too tight, readjust door
seal. DO NOT ALTER SWITCH ADJUSTMENT.
4. Remove the jam screws (see detail A in Figure 51)

from on top of the door adjustment screws in the
locking hooks. Loosen the adjusting screws slightly.
10. Check for 1/16 inch (even) gap between the door
plate and the gasket ring. If gap is incorrect, repeat
Steps 2 thru 9.
Application of a non-permanent liquid

thread lock is recommended for the adjusting screws for final adjustment.
11. With the door locked, tighten the hinge block set
screws (Figure 525) until they touch the hinge
shaft, then back them off 1/2 turn. This allows door
plate to float during vacuum phase.
5. Loosen the set screws in the hinge block which limit

hinge shaft travel (see Figure 525).
Check Door Switch Adjustment. These screws

take out some of the play in the door, especially with
manual swing (see page 530).
NOTE
6. Lock the door. The door will be loose due to no

gasket.
12. Open the door and reassemble hook and door

covers.
7. With the door touching the gasket ring, turn all door
adjusting screws (in hooks) in until they touch the
door pads. Double check the adjustment of each
screw.
Back each screw out 1/2 turn and install the jam
screws.

EXPLANATION AND TERMINOLOGY

For the purpose of this manual, the sensing devices are
called transducers and are explained below:
TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER (RTD)
The temperature transducer, commonly known as an
RTD (Resistance Temperature Device), is a resistance
thermometer whose resistance at 0C is 100.00 Ohms.
Its resistance varies at the rate of approximately 0.35
Ohms/C.
[DIN Standard 43 760] [ = 0.00385]
The sensor output is fed into the programmed logic of
the control board through Connector Plug 9P.
FIGURE 62.
TEMPERATURE (RTD)
TRANSDUCER SCHEMATIC
FIGURE 63.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
SCHEMATIC
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (1PT)

The pressure transducer sensor is an integrated Whetstone bridge directly formed on a silicone diaphragm. It
has an excitation of 10.0 volts; its nominal output is 0 to
100 millivolts for pressure from 0 to 50 psia.
Any change in atmospheric pressure is sensed by the
pressure transducer at 0.025 second intervals before
the chamber is sealed. For steam cycles, the tolerance
band is wide enough for the door to be opened at the
end of the cycle for atmospheric changes that may be
encountered.

DOOR REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

The door on the M/C 3600 sterilizer weighs approximately 260 lbs. Removal and replacement will require
two people to lift and maneuver the door into position.
W
WARNING
NOTE
Due to the weight and the awkwardness

of the door special care must be taken
when handling the door to avoid injury.
Some method of raising and supporting
the 260 lb. door will be necessary when
removing and attaching the hinge shafts.
A portable overhead hoist would be the
ideal method to support the door with an
eye bolt can be installed in the hole in the
center of top edge of the door. Hydraulic
jacks under angle frame could also be
useful, however balancing the door on
the jacks could be tricky. Two large
wooden wedge shaped blocks on top of
a sturdy support surface works well to
raise the door the last few inches to the
proper height. Tap the wedges in or out
to adjust the height.
Replacement of the door will include:

1. Removal and replacement of the stainless steel
door cover.
2. Removal and replacement of door switch magnet
bracket.
NOTE
2. Remove the socket head screw from the hinge

bracket, located at the top of the door on the hinge
side. Swing the hinge bracket upward out of the
way. Do not remove the block with the large hole.
(See inset on Figure 6-27).
3. EARLY MODELS Remove the magnet mounting
bracket from the door. Retain the bracket to be
remounted on the new door.
LATER MODELS Remove the door switch magnetic block.
4. Open the door about 90 or enough to clear the
bottom cover and gain access to the hinge shafts
and place the support under the door (or hoist if
available).
W
WARNING
NOTE
4. Alignment and adjustment of the door.

5. Drilling and tapping the new door for replacement
of stainless steel door cover.
DOOR REMOVAL
1. Remove the four screws securing the stainless steel
cover to the door.
N
NOTE
350115
DO NOT detach the door cover from the

rubber hinge shaft cover, leave the door
cover attached to the sterilizer. Swing
the door cover out of the way and place
something under the cover for support.
Have an assistant steady the door on the

support because the procedure in the
next step will free the door from the sterilizer.
5. With the door supported securely remove 2 snap

rings from the upper hinge shaft and slide the shaft
upward.
N
3. Replacement of the door.
On manual door models, the door handle

is secured with the same screws retaining the non-hinge side of the door cover.
When removing the lower shaft, DO NOT

lose any of the spacer washers between
the lower hinge block and the lowest
door hook. The spacer washers determine the height the door is positioned
against the gasket ring and must be replaced when the new door is attached.
Note, count the number of washers so
the same amount can be replaced.
6. Remove the 2 snap rings from the lower hinge shaft,

slide the lower shaft out from the bottom and move
the old door away.
N
NOTE
The replacement door is interchangeable for left or right hinged units. The

Clean the gasket groove with a cloth dampened with
alcohol. Be sure all the steam ports are open and
free of any debris or obstruction before installing the
gasket.
3. Wipe the gasket clean with a lint free cloth dampened with alcohol BEFORE and AFTER installation.
DO NOT STRETCH the gasket when cleaning.
4. Start the installation by placing the hole (near the
splice) in the gasket, over the vent tube in the lower
left corner of the gasket groove and press the
gasket into the groove at the corner. Press the
gasket into the groove about 12 inches each side of
the corner.
5. Locate the point on the gasket directly opposite the
vent tube corner and press the gasket into the upper
right corner of the gasket groove, DO NOT
STRETCH THE GASKET.
FIGURE 614.
LOWER LEFT CORNER

OF CHAMBER
REPLACING THE DOOR GASKET

Proper installation of the door gasket is directly related
to the life expectancy of the gasket. Stretching or twisting of the gasket will cause shortened gasket life.
The door gasket is a tubular rubber gasket that fits into
the groove that encircles the chamber opening. To
ensure a solid seal the gasket groove is pressurized with
steam behind the gasket and the gasket is also pressurized from the inside to expand against the door surface.
Steam from the chamber pressurizes the gasket and
gasket groove, thus equalizing the pressure in the
chamber and the gasket.
TO INSTALL THE GASKET

1. Inspect the gasket groove to be sure there are no
sharp edges or burrs to damage the gasket.
2. There are four steam ports in the gasket groove
which are located in the corners of the gasket
groove. These steam ports pressurize the groove
and the gasket. The port in the lower left corner has
a vent tube that protrudes and fits into the hole in
the gasket to pressurize the inside of the gasket.

6. Find the midpoints of the gasket between the lower
left and upper right corners. Carefully press the
midpoints into the upper left and lower right corners.
DO NOT STRETCH THE GASKET.
An equal amount of gasket should be hanging
between the corners.

WARNING
Wear safety glasses and an apron when

handling Descaler to protect against eye
injury and stained clothing.
When a heat exchanger does not function properly due

to an accumulation of internal mineral deposits, clean it
with CASTLE Descaler. Remove the tubing from the top
and pour a solution of Descaler through the ejector.
After cleaning, run a dummy cycle to remove the descaler.
If mineral deposits are a continuing problem, establish
a periodic cleaning procedure. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the mineral content of the water.
EJECTOR CLEANING
W
WARNING
Wear safety glasses and an apron when

handling Descaler to protect against eye
injury and stained clothing.
When an ejector does not function properly due to an

accumulation of internal mineral deposits, clean with
CASTLE Descaler. Remove the tubing from the top and
pour Descaler through the ejector. For excessive accumulation of deposits, remove the ejector from the piping
and soak in a container of Descaler.
FIGURE 616.
(See Steps 6 and 7.)
7. Starting at the center of the sagging gasket, press

the remaining gasket into the groove working toward the corners. Take care not to twist or distort
the gasket as it is pressed into place.
The gasket will balloon slightly outside of the gasket
groove when seated fully.
N
NOTE
8.
The gasket should not gather or bunch

up at any point as it is being pressed into
the gasket groove. If it does, it was not
equally divided between the corners at
the start. Remove the gasket and start
over with Step 5.
Clean the gasket and mating door surface with

a lint free cloth dampened with alcohol.
