Lainox SANITISING

What does Lainox SANITISING mean?

The SANITISING alarm is raised during a sanitising cycle when the rod (core) probe is not correctly inserted, as governed by parameters r17 and r18. As a consequence the sanitising cycle is interrupted. It indicates the probe condition required to verify the sanitising process was not met, so the cycle cannot complete safely.

Symptoms

• SANITISING alarm message appears during a sanitising cycle.
• The sanitising cycle is interrupted.
• The rod (core) probe is not properly inserted in the product.
• Sanitising does not complete as expected.

Common causes

• Rod probe not inserted, or not inserted correctly, into the product.
• Rod probe misplaced or pulled out during the cycle.
• Faulty rod probe affecting insertion detection.
• Incorrect sanitising parameters r17 or r18.

Diagnostic steps

1. 01

   Check the rod probe insertion

   As the manual directs, verify the rod probe is correctly inserted into the product before and during the sanitising cycle.

2. 02

   Check parameters r17 and r18

   Verify the value of parameters r17 and r18 that govern the sanitising rod-probe condition so they suit the product and process.

3. 03

   Reposition and restart

   Reseat the probe fully into the thickest part of the product and restart the sanitising cycle once the probe condition is satisfied.

4. 04

   Confirm the cycle proceeds

   Verify the sanitising cycle now runs without interruption after the probe insertion is corrected.

When to call a professional

If the probe is correctly inserted and the parameters are set as intended but the sanitising alarm persists, the rod probe or its detection may be faulty and should be tested by an authorised technician. Because sanitising is a hygiene-critical process, do not rely on an interrupted cycle for food safety; have the fault resolved by qualified personnel before returning the cycle to service.
