1. Installation of the DAC UNIVERSAL
The purpose of this chapter is to provide the user with information about how the installation of the
DAC UNIVERSAL should take place. It is recommended that the user manual be examined thoroughly
before the installation is carried out.
Please note that the autoclave must be left to warm to the ambient temperature before it is connected.
Note : Do not keep the DAC Universal below 0°.
1.1 Requirement concerning placing

The DAC UNIVERSAL should be placed in an open space on a flat surface.
Recommended minimum space to the wall: 10 cm.
Furthermore, there must be enough space to allow the autoclave to open (upright). Total height of the
DAC UNIVERSAL when open: 60 cm.
1.2 How to install the DAC UNIVERSAL?

Before the DAC UNIVERSAL is ready for use, the following connections are required:
90-240 volt and 50-60 Hz

The DAC UNIVERSAL is supplied with a main lead with plug, which must be connected to the
autoclave (see figure 1.2.1). When the DAC UNIVERSAL is connected to power the lid will then open
and error 92 can possibly occur; in this case press “C” on the display to reset the autoclave.
Compressed air adjusted between 5-8 bars: 60 litres pr. min.

A tube size 6/4mm is required for the connection between the DAC UNIVERSAL and the external
compressor. The compressed air tubing is inserted in the top screw coupling (see figure 1.2.1). The
tube must be held in while simultaneously the nut is fastened with a 12mm spanner. To dismantle the
tube the nut is unfastened and the tube can easily be drawn away.
The DAC UNIVERSAL has a built-in pressure regulator therefore the autoclave will function at 5-8
bars. The compressed air is used during the cleaning and lubrication cycle. The compressed air is
specifically used for flushing the internal channels, during internal cleaning and for the pulse wash
during the external cleaning. Furthermore the compressed air is used for distributing the oil during the
lubrication cycle.
The compressed air to the DAC UNIVERSAL must be dry and must not contain any oil remains.
Please note that an air filter (20 micron) must be installed on the inlet tube before the DAC
UNIVERSAL. Please contact the supplier of your compressed air unit if you have any questions
regarding this issue.
Drain for used water and oil

Residual water emerges through the drain outlet. Therefore the drain outlet (the middle screw coupling
- see figure 1.2.1) must be connected with a drain tank (order no. 700040 – includes 3 meters of PTFE
tube 6/4 mm and mounting instructions) in order to collect the residual water. For this connection you
must use a 6/4mm PTFE tube. The PTFE tube must not be longer than 3 meters.
The fitting and the removal of the tube are accomplished in the same way as the connection of
compressed air. The tube must be connected without pressure to the drain. When connecting the
drain tank to the drain of the DAC UNIVERSAL it is important to fix the connecting piece thoroughly.
Be aware not to handle the tube for the drain when it is hot or when the machine is in operation.
Warning
Oil and hot steam is discharged through the drain from the autoclave.
If using another type of tube than the PTFE tube, the tube must be steam resistant at approx. 137ºC.
One of the following connections must be made:
Constant connection to demineralised/destilled water

Dismantle the stopper on the water inlet.
3
The constant connection of demineralised/destilled water is through a 6/4mm tube connected to the
bottom screw coupling (see figure 1.2.1). The fitting and the dismantling of the tube are done in the
same way as the connection of compressed air. Maximum water pressure: 4 bars.
It is important to have a water filter (20 micron) in front of the DAC UNIVERSAL.
In order for the autoclave to work with an automatic connection to demineralised/destilled water the
autoclave has to be put in an “automatic water inlet mode”. This is done through the menu system of
the DAC Universal under “settings” and automatic water is set to “on" (see the user manual).
A maximum water conductivity of 3.0 µS (microsiemens) is required.
Manual supply of demineralised/destilled water

Leave the stopper on the water inlet.
All functions (cleaning and sterilisation) of the DAC UNIVERSAL require demineralised or destilled
water. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently supply the internal water tank with water if the constant
connection is not chosen. 1 filled water tank = approx. 6 complete cycles.
Volume in water tank: 2.0 l.
Look in section 3.4 where the water tank is and this is where to fill in the water (See the user manual).
A maximum water conductivity of 3.0 µS (microsiemens) is required.
1.2.1 Connection of the DAC UNIVERSAL to a Printer

The DAC UNIVERSAL is prepared for connection to a printer in order to print autoclave reports.
It is also possible to connect to a computer in order to use the service software for the DAC
UNIVERSAL (see section 4).

1.3 Before starting the autoclave - IMPORTANT!

Before handling the autoclave please be aware that the weight of the machine is app. 25 kilograms
(=50 pounds). Therefore when lifting the machine, please use a lifting technique adjusted to the weight
of the machine. And please be aware not to hold under the machine when it is hot.
In order to be able to use the machine please go through steps 1-3
1. Connect the machine to a power supply.
The DAC UNIVERSAL is connected between 90 – 240 Volt and 50 –60 Hz with the cable that comes
with the DAC UNIVERSAL.
2.Mount the oil bottle
4
The oil bottle has a capacity of 0.2 litres of oil.
This quantity of oil is sufficient for approximately 250 cycles. It is recommended to use the type of oil,
which the manufacturer of the instruments recommends. Mount the oil bottle by opening the blue top
lid of the tank system
1. Mount the in oil bottle beside the water tank. See how on Figure 3.17.1
2.The oil bottle is dismounted in the opposite sequence. See section 3.17.1 about mounting and
dismounting the oil bottle.
Please check the instructions from the manufacturer of the oil, which security precautions you have to
follow when handling the oil.
Check the oil in the chamber bottom.

Choose the Lubricate button at the display and press for more than 1 sec.
Through visual control, check that oil appears in the bottom adapter in the sterilisation chamber.
It is very important to see the oil enter the bottom adapter in the chamber, if there is no oil the
instruments are not lubricated.
Maybe it is necessary to hold the oil bottom down for several air shots (about 5 air shots), before the
oil is coming out on a new DAC UNIVERSAL.
If oil is not coming from the bottom adapter. See section 2.30.6
The oil bottle must be change when the message ”Low oil” is visible in the display, or if the error 81
has come. The message automatically disappears when the oil bottle is change.
3.Fill the water tank
The water tank has a capacity of approximately 2.0 litres of water.
This quantity of water is sufficient for approximately 6 normal cycles. It is necessary to use distilled or
demineralised water. A maximum water conductivity of 3.0 µS (microsiemens) is required.
Please note that the water should be poured carefully into the tank. Otherwise, the water may run in
between the tank and the autoclave itself, resulting in water on the table.
Note the following is necessary to prevent air bobbles in the tubes.
Water is led through the tubes in the following way:
1. The lid must be up

2. Enter the menu system by pressing the “Menu/Enter” button
3. Press the “Up” or the “Down” button until you reach “Manual”.
4. Press the “Menu/Enter” button to select “Manual” mode.
5. Press the “Up” or “Down” button in order to reach “Water” in the menu.
6. When “Water” is marked you can press “Menu/Enter” in order to start pumping water into the
tubes.
7. When water becomes visible in the sterilisation chamber, there is water in the tubes and the
“Menu/Enter” button can be touched again, in order to stop the water from being pumped into the
chamber.
8. Press “Clear” until the normal display appears.
It is also possible to choose the “rinse/flush” button at the display and press for more than 1 sec.
Hold the button down and through visual control check that water appears in the bottom adapter in the
sterilisation chamber.
There is now water in the tubes.
The water tank must be filled when the message ”Low water” is visible in the display or if the error 81
has occurred. The message “Low Water” automatically goes out when the water tank is filled.
When you have ensured that there is both oil and water in the tubes, the instruments are placed on
the adapters on the lid and the autoclaving cycle can be started (see the instruction manual). If the
adapters are not mounted on the lid when the machine is delivered, please refer to section 3.7.
NOTE! At each adapter position there is a marking, which is the number of the adapter position.
At position one it is not possible to place an instrument, which is longer than 14,5 cm. (See section
3.7, figure 3.7.1.) at position 2 – 6 it is not possible to place an instrument which is longer than 16 cm.

2. Error code list
Chapter 2 should be used for trouble shooting when the autoclave gives an error.
Chapter 2 is elaborated in such a way that it can be used as a book/work of reference.
Under each error the different error possibilities are listed. Moreover various advise about how to find
the cause of the error is also listed.
12
2.1 Error 64 – Safety system has been released
This error can occur if an error has released the safety system, which cuts the power to the motor,
pumps, valves and the heating element.
The internal safety system has blocked the power to the motor, the steam generator, the pumps and
the valves
Restart the autoclave by disconnecting and reconnecting the power. This resets the safety system.
13
2.2 Error 65 – Safety system is defective
This error can occur if the internal safety system cannot cut the 24V. power to the motor.
Check whether there is a counter-pressure in the drain system.
Valve 1, 2 or 3 is leaking air

Fill water into the bottom of the chamber, until it covers the bottom adapter. If one of the air valves is
leaking air, bubbles will appear. Note that air must be connected to the autoclave.
Valve 1 is leaking air, if bubbles appear from one or more of the 4 holes at the bottom of the chamber.
Valve 2 is leaking air, if bubbles appear from top hole in the bottom adapter.
Valve 3 is leaking air, if bubbles appear from the side hole on the bottom adapter. See section 3.6
about valve battery, for changing the valve and/or gasket and o-rings.
It is also possible to test the valves via a PC with service software. See section 4.1 to activate the
service software (remember to empty the chamber for water before testing the air valves).
Replace the main board

Pressing the “C” button cannot reset error 65. It has to be reset via the computer and service
software. See section 4.1.
Replace the main board. See section 3.12
14
2.3 Error 66 – High temperature during sterilisation
This error may occur if during sterilisation the temperature exceeds 3°C over the chosen program
(more that 137°C).
This error can occur if:
The temperature sensor is defective

Change the temperature sensor. See section 3.9 for change of the temperature sensor.
The pressure sensor is defective

Change the pressure sensor. See section 3.8 for change of the pressure sensor.
15
2.4 Error 67 – Sterilisation time is to short
This error may occur if the sterilisation time is to short.
The main board is defective

Change the main board. See section 3.12 for change of the main board.
16
2.5 Error 68 – Too high pressure during pressure test
This error may occur if during pressure test the pressure exceeds 4.8 bars absolut pressure.
The pressure regulator is defective or incorrectly adjusted

Adjust the pressure regulator. See section 3.15 about the pressure regulator.
Change the pressure regulator. See section 3.15 about the pressure regulator.

Valve 2 is leaking air, if bubbles appear from the top hole in the bottom adapter.

Change the pressure sensor. See section 3.8 about the pressure sensor.
17
2.6 Error 70 – The pressure does not drop following the pressure test
This error occurs if the pressure does not drop within 20 seconds after the initial pressure test.
During the pressure test, pressure is built up by opening valve 3 for 3 sec. and close then valve 1. The
pressure must rise to 4.0 bar absolut pressure . Then valve 1 closes and the pressure must be stable
during 10 seconds. If the pressure test is approved, the pressure is led out through the filter and valve
7, 6 and 9.
The filter is blocked

Change the filter in the filter housing on the back plate.
The filter house could be blocked in the inlet or outlet of the filter house.
Filter house is blocked

The filter house could be blocked in the inlet or outlet of the filter house.
Dismounts the two tubing’s at the filter house and check that there is no blockings in the fittings. See
section 3.10.5 about dismounting the filter house.
The drain tube is blocked

By dismounting the drain tube on the autoclave, it is possible to check whether air is coming out of the
drain outlet.
If air is coming out of the drain outlet, an additional check of the drain system must be carried out.
There must be no counter-pressure in the drain outlet.
If air is not coming out through the drain outlet, check the drain system of the autoclave through valve
9. See section 3.6 about valve battery.
The drain tube must be of heat resistant material: Nitram Dental recommends the use of a Teflon tube
(PFTE 6/4 mm).
Too much residual water in the chamber from the last test run
If there is too much water left in the chamber from the last process, there is no time for it to be pressed
out before the 20 seconds have passed, which is the time that the machine has to empty itself. Restart
the autoclave. The pressure test will press the water out.
Possible drain tank is full

Empty the tank. There must be no counter-pressure in the drain system. This can be remedied by
means of a small air-escape hole in the drain tank. A counter-pressure can occur if you use a drain
tank, which is too small, that is too small or if the air-escape hole is too small. The autoclave is tested
with an original Nitram drain tank, with an air-escape hole of 6 mm and with a min. content of 5 litres.
Nitram recommends the use of an original Nitram drain tank (order no. 700040).
Valve 9 is defective
Valve 9 can be activated via a PC with the service software. See section 4.1 to activate the service
software.
If it is clicking when activated, the valve is okay.
If it is not clicking, the valve is defective. See section 3.6 about valve battery for changing the valve
and/or gasket and o-rings.
18
2.7 Error 71 – Bad water
This error occurs if:
The conductivity of the water in the water tank is inferior to the limit value for the machine (maximum
value: 3 µs)
Empty the water tank for water and fill in new water with conductivity, which is below the limit value (3
µs). See section 3.4 to empty the water tank.
The conductivity sensor is defective and has to be changed. See section 3.4.
19
2.8 Error 72 – Lid does not open
The closing system has jammed during opening.
When the autoclave have completed the cycle and is half open press “C” button to start opening the
chamber, a timer starts. After 50 seconds this timer must receive a signal from the limit switch on the
chamber (see Figure 2.1.1).
Figure 2.1.1
Limit switch
If the switch has not been activated after 50 seconds, the following errors are possible:
Check: That there is no pressure in the chamber, open the drain filter lid see figure 1.2.1
The contact is not activated

The lever arm on the limit switch is incorrectly adjusted. The arm must hit the trace in the supporting
tube and be activated, when the spindle goes up (see Figure 2.1.1). Adjust the arm on the limit switch
by bending it up or down carefully, if necessary.
The surface of the lid holder for lid is not parallel with the surface of the chamber
This means that the 3 tension rods tighten towards each other. Normally it is possible to see if the lid
holder is not parallel with the chamber. If you suspect that this is the case, loosen the 3 screws on the
lid holder for lid and adjust the lid holder. See section 3.3.1 for adjustment of the lid holder.
The timing belt under the motor plate is loose

Press the “Menu/Enter” button. Press the arrows buttons up or down, till you reach “manual mode” on
the display. Then press the “Menu/Enter” button again and go to “close” by means of the arrow
buttons. Press the “Menu/Enter” button again to start the running of the motor. Press the “Menu/Enter”
button to stop the running of the motor. When the motor is running and the belt is turning, look for the
2 pointed screws on each timing belt, to check whether they are loose. They have to be changed and
re-tightened. See section 3.2 about complete chamber. The lid holder must then be adjusted. See
section 3.3.1.
Belt too tight

Check the belt by pressing the belt together in between the motor and the supporting tube with the
limit switch. The belt should give bend approx. 10-15 mm. See section 3.2.4 about complete chamber
for loosening the belt.
Belt too loose

You can clearly hear if the belt is tooting. Tighten the belt (see section 3.2.4) and adjust the lid holder
subsequently (see section 3.3.1)
20
Motor is defective
There is no movement when the motor is started. Check if there is power coming from the mainboard.
If there is power (24V DC) from the mainboard, the motor must be changed. See section 3.2.3 about
complete chamber for changing the motor.
No power supply from the mainboard

Check the tension at the wire connection for the motor (24 V DC) and check the wires for gaps. If the
wires for the motor have been short-circuited, the power supply on the main board will be damaged
and it must be changed. See section 3.12.2 for changing the main board.
21
2.9 Error 73 – The sterilisation temperature has not been reached during back-flush
This error occurs if the temperature does not rise to 134 degrees during the first back-flush cycle.

pressure in the chamber. If the 4.0 bars has not been reached within 20 seconds error 90 will occur.
The lid of the filter house is not mounted or is not tightened enough.
The pressure to the autoclave is too low

Check whether the pressure to the autoclave is between 5-8 bars.
The autoclave is leaking

Normally this leakage is distinctly heard unless the leakage is going through the drain tube.
The pressure disappears through the drain valve. Dismount the drain tube. If pressure is coming out of
the drain, valve 6, 7, 8 or 9 are leaking. See section 3.6 about valve battery.
The lid is not completely closed.
If the opening/closing system is descending too slowly, there is a risk that the lid is not completely
closed before opening of valve 1. Here you can try to place the lid in the chamber manually and
subsequently start the machine, so that the lid holder presses on the blue plastic. If this helps the
opening/closing system has to be adjusted. See section 3.3 about adjustment of the opening/closing
system.
The pressure sensor is measuring incorrectly

Change the pressure sensor. See section 3.8 about the pressure sensor.
The large black gasket in the lid is not fitting closely. See section 3.7 about lid for replacement of the
gasket.
The motor is defective. See section 3.2.3 and section 3.2.4 to replace the motor.
A tube can be leaking inside the machine. You can probably clearly see or hear the leakage, as it has
to be relatively large to give error 90.
41
2.26 Error 91 – The autoclave is leaking due to leakage in the chamber during pressure test
When the lid has closed completely, air valve 1 is opening till the pressure reaches 4.0 bars absolut
pressure in the chamber.
The pressure value measured is stored and 10 seconds later the pressure is re-measured. The
difference between the measured values 1 and 2 must not exceed 0.15 bar. If the difference exceeds
0.15 bar error 91 will occur.
There is a leak somewhere in the autoclave

This leak can occur in several places in the autoclave and can be checked in the following two ways:
Spray soapy water on the places you believe to be leaking and see whether bubbles appear during
the process. NOTE! Make sure not to get soap water on the electrical parts.
Start the autoclave. Wait 10 seconds after you hear valve 1 clicking for the first time. Bend the tube for
the pressure sensor, so that the pressure at the sensor can be maintained. Let go of the break when
you can hear that the autoclave is letting its pressure out. Hereafter the autoclave will run one
sterilisation, and normally you can see where the leak is because water and steam will escape when
there is pressure in the autoclave.
Check for leakage at the following places:
Black gasket between lid and chamber

Place a finger in the V-trace in the gasket or change the gasket. See section 3.7.3 about lid for
changing the gasket.
Under the blue plastic on the lid

Tighten the 4 screws under the blue plastic top. Note that the gasket under the centre column can also
be leaking. See section 3.7.3 about the lid.

5. Spore test
Description of procedure:
Nitram Dental has used spore tests from the Danish Serum Institute, which is a certified institute.
The test is made in the form of a letter test and the letter with the spore, is fixed to the centre column
of the lid by means of a holder for indicator spare part no. 700018. Subsequently the autoclave
must run a cycle and the sample must be sent for testing, in order to check for growth in the sample.
It is also possible to place a 3M biological test, in the same way as described as above.
