6.0 – LCD ERROR CODES
(Note: Error Codes that are not currently used by Sci-
Can are listed as "Not Currently In Use" or not listed
in this booklet.)
The key to STATIM error codes is to first identify which
model you are servicing because the terms used in the
error codes and operation messages may differ between
the earlier and later models.
It is important to know the software revision your STATIM
is running in order to properly troubleshoot and use these
error codes.
At power ON, the display will read:
STATIM 2000 S201R501
This display will report whether you have a model 2000 or
5000 and shows the autoclave software revision level. The
revision level in this example shows REV. “501”. This will
only be displayed for 5 seconds. Then it will switch to “se-
lect a cycle”.
• STATIM autoclaves manufactured from 1990 to 1994
may display “select a program” and the software revi-
sion may not be shown.

At the start up of the sterilization process, the earlier mod-
els display the operation message “Select Program” in the
LCD display panel, while the later models display “Select
A Cycle”. Both messages, while different, actually mean
the same thing – the user is being asked to select which
of the three cycles to begin.
Error codes and operation messages indicated on the LCD
panel differ on the earlier models versus the later models.
The earlier models display the phrase “Check Cassette”
followed by a number 1-8, while the later models display
“Cycle Fault” followed by a number 1-27. With both the
earlier and later models, each number represents a dif-
ferent type of error. (Note: Not all numbers are used, so
only those numbers that are used will be addressed in this
booklet.) In addition to error codes, an operation message
may also appear on the LCD display for both the earlier
and later models. Error codes and messages help to trou-
bleshoot the exact cause of the problem. In addition, the
system on both the earlier and later models is designed to
abort when an error occurs.
During the sterilization process, there are six stages that
the machine goes through from start to finish and the LCD
displays each stage number as it occurs during the
process. The following sections describe each LCD error
code or message that might appear during any of the six
sterilization stages. In addition, this booklet includes trou-
bleshooting tips and "Things to Check" for each error code
and message.

(continued)
STAGE #1 – WARMING UP
During this stage, the distilled water heats up from room temperature to 95˚C in the steam generator/ boiler. The water is ac-
tually pumped from the reservoir and then heated in the steam generator/boiler.
STAGE #2 – CONDITIONING
After initial warming stage, the steam is injected into the cassette; the steam temperature continues to rise from 95˚C. The vent
solenoid will open and close several times to maintain proper cassette steam temperature, expelling steam/air into the con-
denser waste bottle.
For LCD Messages and Things to Check, refer to Stage #1 - Warming Up: Check Cassette #1 (Cycle Fault #1) and Check Cas-
sette #2 (Cycle Fault #2).
LCD MESSAGE
CHECK CASSETTE #1 (CYCLE FAULT #1)
The steam generator/boiler did not heat up. The cassette
temperature (~95-102˚C) was not reached within ~3 min-
utes (or within the time out period).
THINGS TO CHECK
• Check thermal fuse for continuity.
Replace if necessary
– Thermal Fuse (RPI Part #SCF006) – see page 38,
Figure 9.1 - Steam Generator/Boiler.
• Large steam leak is present.
• Over-loaded cassette tray.
• Clean and lubricate cassette seal – see page 10, 2.7 -
Liquid Soap (RPI Part #RPS287). Replace the Cassette
Seal if necessary (RPI Part #SCS001 fits model 2000) or
(RPI Part #SCS029 fits model 5000).
• Inspect and clean steam ports on probe bracket.
• Check pump for proper operation – see page 6, 2.3 -
Pump Tester Bottle (RPI Part #SCK024).
• Check steam generator/boiler – see page 38, Figure
9.1 - Steam Generator/Boiler.
LCD MESSAGE
CHECK CASSETTE #2 (CYCLE FAULT #2)
Cassette temperature (~95-100˚C) was not reached within
~1 minute and 20 seconds (or within the time out period).
THINGS TO CHECK
• Large steam leak is present.
• Over-loaded cassette tray.
• Clean and lubricate cassette seal – see page 10, 2.7 -
Liquid Soap (RPI Part #RPS287). Replace the Cassette
Seal if necessary (RPI Part #SCS001 fits model 2000),
and (RPI Part #SCS029 fits model 5000).
• Inspect and clean steam ports on probe bracket.
