How To Test The 800V Dual Heating Element Instructions Are Lower On This PageRCH027-2432 HEATING ELEMENT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove old heater in normal fashion.
2. Inspect and clean outside of chamber.
3. Install new heaters, making sure that contact between heater and chamber is evenly distributed.

4. Replace back up plate.
5. Sequentially tighten tie down bands. The same amount of torque should be applied to all three bands (40 in. lbs.).
6. Perform final inspection. Verify that the curvature of the heaters matches the chamber and that no gaps exist.

7. After testing the unit, re-tighten the tie down bands.
(Note: Excessive tightening of nuts may cause heater to fail)

Tech Tip: Be sure your original MDT Ritter Castle 1000 Dual Heating Element is defective before replacing it, by performing the following test

This test consists of measuring the amount of resistance in the element. To do this, first, turn the autoclave off and unplug it from the wall

Set your volt/ohm meter on 200 ohms (200 NOT 200k). The ohms range is located within the Omega (Ω )(look for this symbol) section of your meter. It is also the area with "k" ranges (ie: 2000k,. 200k, 20K and then 2000, 200).

Place a probe from the volt/ohm meter on each fitting where the wire connects to each element (it really doesn't matter which color probe goes where).

Note: The MDT Ritter Castle 1000R Dual Heating Element assembly consists of 2 different heating elements assembled together. Be sure to check them both & then compare them to the ranges in the table below
