Novametrix 520A Pulse Oximeter Service Manual
Add to My manuals

The Pulse Oximeter 520A is a medical device that measures the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. It is used in a variety of clinical situations, including respiratory therapy, anesthesia, and intensive care units. The monitor is powered by a rechargeable internal battery or an AC power source. The device utilizes sensors containing two light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photodiode. Each LED emits a specific wavelength of light (660 and 940 nanometers) through a pulsating vascular bed to the photodiode. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs different amounts of light at each wavelength compared to unsaturated blood. Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the blood in each pulse can be used to calculate saturation.

Introduction

Purpose

1.1

This manual has been prepared for technicians servicing the Novametrix Model

520A Pulse Oximeter monitor. It presents technical information relating to the monitor’s theory of operation, maintenance, calibration and repair. Refer to the

Pulse Oximeter Model 520A User’s Manual (Catalog Number 5693-23) for additional information.

Technology Description

1.2

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method of monitoring the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Oxygen saturation monitoring is intended to be used in a variety of clinical situations including, respiratory therapy, anesthesia, the intensive care unit

(ICU) and neonatal (NICU) and pediatric (PICU) intensive care units.

The Model 520A Pulse Oximeter provides reliable continuous measurement, display, and alerts for oxygen saturation (SpO

2

) and pulse rate. The monitor can be powered from its rechargeable internal battery or from the AC Mains.

The Model 520A utilizes sensors containing two light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photodiode. Each LED emits a specific wavelength of light (660 and 940 nanometers) through a pulsating vascular bed to the photodiode. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs different amounts of light at each wavelength as compared to unsaturated blood. Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the blood in each pulse can be used to calculate saturation.

The Model 520A is calibrated to display “functional” saturation. This differs from the “fractional” saturation value displayed by most co-oximeters. Functional saturation is defined as:

Functional Saturation =

HbO

2

100 - (COHb + METHb)

HbO

2

= Fractional Hemoglobin

COHb = Carboxyhemoglobin

METHb = Methemoglobin

This can be considered to represent the amount of oxyhemoglobin as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can be oxygenated. Dysfunctional hemoglobins (COHb and

METHb) are not included.

Model 520A Service Manual

Section 1

Introduction

PRELIMINARY

Pulse Rate is calculated by measuring the time interval between detected peaks of the infrared light waveform. The inverse of this measurement is displayed as pulse rate.

The oxygen saturation and pulse rate values are displayed on monitor’s displays.

The displayed values are updated once each second. Presence of a pulse is shown as a waveform on the display and indicated audibly by a user selectable “beep”.

The Model 520A must be used in conjunction with SuperBright™ Sensors. These sensors have an 8700 series part number (e.g., 8776 or 8791). An

INCOMPATIBLE

PROBE

display message will indicate a non-SuperBright™ Sensor (e.g., 86xx series) is in use.

Patient Safety

The OXYPLETH Pulse Oximeter Monitor, Model 520A, SpO

2

Input is electrically isolated. Patient leakage current flowing from the instrument to ground is limited to less than 10

µA at 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Patient isolation is greater than 10 MΩ, 2500

VAC rms at 60 Hz.

For maximum patient and operator safety, the following are recommended:

Failure of Operation: If the monitor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel.

• Keep OXYPLETH and its accessories clean.

• Do not operate OXYPLETH when it is wet due to spills or condensation.

• Do not operate OXYPLETH if it appears to have been dropped or damaged.

• Connect the line cord only to a grounded hospital-grade outlet. OXYPLETH should be connected to the same electrical circuit as other equipment in use on the patient. Outlets on the same circuit can be identified by the hospital’s engineering department.

• Care should be exercised to assure continued peripheral perfusion distal to the SpO

2

sensor site after application.

• Components of this product and its associated accessories which may have patient contact are free of latex.

Warnings

WARNING

Indicates a potentially harmful condition that can lead to personal injury

Explosion Hazard: Do NOT use OXYPLETH in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Use of this instrument in such an environment may present an explosion hazard.

Electrical Shock Hazard: Always turn OXYPLETH off and remove line cord before cleaning it. Do NOT use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical contacts. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Do not operate OXYPLETH when it is wet due to spills or condensation.

• Do not operate OXYPLETH if it appears to have been dropped or damaged.

Patient Safety: Extreme care should be exercised with neonates to assure continued circulation distal to the sensor site after application.

Failure of Operation: If the monitor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel.

Patient Safety: Care should be exercised to assure continued peripheral perfusion distal to the

SpO

2

sensor site after application.

Data Validity: Inaccurate SpO

2

and/or Pulse Rate measurements can be caused by any of the following:

• Incorrect application or use of a sensor

• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin

• Significant levels of indocyanine green, methylene blue, or other intravascular dyes

• Exposure to excessive illumination such as surgical lamps—especially ones with a xenon light source, or direct sunlight

• Excessive patient movement, venous pulsations, electrosurgical interference

Data Validity: The Pulse Oximeter should not be used as a substitute for an ECG monitor. The oximeter’s Pulse Rate display reflects the pulsatile flow found at the patient extremity connected to the sensor. This rate can be affected by many factors and may occasionally be

“frozen.”

Do NOT attach an SpO

2

sensor distal to a blood pressure cuff. Valid data

CANNOT

be processed when the cuff is inflated. Attach the sensor to the limb opposite to the site used for the blood pressure cuff.

Do NOT apply Y-Sensor tapes or wraps so tightly that the circulation is restricted. Inspect site often for adequate circulation - at least once every four hours. When applying sensors take note of the patient’s physiological condition. For example, burn patients may exhibit more sensitivity to heat and pressure and therefore additional consideration such as more frequent site checks may be appropriate.

Electronic Theory of Operation

The electronic theory of operation of the Model 520A Pulse Oximeter monitor is detailed in the subsections below. Refer to Section 19, Schematic and Assembly

Drawings, on page 93 for further information.

2472 Power Supply Board

9.1

The 2472 Power Supply Board contains the circuitry needed to power the monitor from the AC Mains (line voltage). The power supply board also connects to the battery and contains the battery charging circuitry.

AC Mains and Battery Operation Overview

9.1.1

The Model 520A can be powered from its internal 12 volt battery or from the AC

Mains. The green (sine wave shaped) front panel indicator illuminates when the line cord is connected and the rear panel power switch is in the “|” (On) position.

This indicates that AC Mains power is reaching the power supply, that the battery is being charged, and that if the monitor is turned on, it is being powered from the line voltage.

If AC Mains power is removed by unplugging the line cord or setting the rear panel power switch to the “0” (Off) position, the monitor will operate for up to four hours from its internal 12 volt lead-acid battery. As the battery voltage runs low (

≈11.5

volts), the red (battery indicator) on the front panel illuminates. At this point, the

AC Mains should be reconnected to power the monitor and charge the battery.

If the monitor continues to be powered from a battery in a low voltage situation, at approximately 11 volts, a continuous alarm sounds for thirty seconds while the

Message Center displays

BATTERY EXHAUSTED CONNECT LINE CORD

. If this alarm/message is ignored, the monitor displays will shut down and the battery indicator will flash on and off about every 5 seconds. If AC power is now restored, the monitor will re-initialize (go through the power up and self-test routines) and resume normal operation. However, continued battery operation will eventually activate a hardware low voltage circuit (

≈8.5 volts) that shuts the monitor off to prevent damage to the battery. Once the unit is shut down with the hardware circuit,

the AC Mains must be connected and the front panel

POWER

key pressed before the monitor will turn back on.

AC Mains Operation

9.1.2

The AC Mains voltage enters the monitor at the rear panel Power Entry Module

(PEM). This device contains a built in RFI power line filter, a double-pole singlethrow switch that opens and closes both AC input lines, fuses, and an input voltage selection card.

The filtered, switched and fused output of the Power Entry Module is fed to the primary coils of the rear panel mounted system transformer, T301. The secondary output from T301 is rectified by D1 (bridge rectifier) and filtered by C1. The

(loaded) DC voltage at this point is approximately 20 volts.

The 20 DC volts is fed to the 2471 main board through fuse F301 to connector

E302, and is switched to the battery charging regulator IC1 (pin 5) through Q1.

Biasing for Q1 is accomplished by D2, R1 and R2 when AC power is applied. When running on battery power Q1 is biased off by R1, R2 and D3, this prevents the battery from trying to power the battery charger regulator and IC2 that informs the monitor of the loss of AC.

The output of switching regulator IC1 pin4 is rectified and filtered by D4, C4 and

L1 then fed to the battery through current sense resistor R3 and fuse F302 to J302 pin 1 (VBAT+). The battery float charge voltage is maintained at 13.2 volts except for fast charge which is regulated at 14.4 volts. The output is also monitored for over current conditions. These parameters are controlled by IC3 and associated circuitry. When the battery charge current exceeds 120mA of current IC3 pin 7 goes high which biases Q2 on, this in turn shorts out R12 which affects the feedback control (FB) to IC1 (pin 1). With R12 shorted out the control resistors R14 and R13 set the output voltage to 14.4 volts. When the charge current lowers IC3 pin 7 goes low which biases Q2 off, this puts R12 back into the feedback control which now consists of R12, R13 and R14 setting the voltage to 13.2 volts. When more than

600mA of current flows through R3, IC3 pin 1 shorts IC1 pin 2 to ground which shuts IC1 off until its next switching cycle, when the current reaches a safe level

IC3 pin 1 allows IC1 to remain on.

The voltage switched by Q1 is also fed to IC2 as VCH (Voltage Charge). The output of this 5 volt regulator provides the LINEST (Line Status) signal to the main board at E302 pin 3. With AC applied, LINEST is high. LINEST goes low when the AC

is disconnected. The LINEST line is also routed to the power on/off circuitry. See

Power On/Off Control Circuitry on page 19.

(VBAT-). The battery power will conduct through D3 and F301 to VIN at E302 pin

1 to the 2471 main board. The arrangement of R1, R2 and D2 bias Q1 off in this condition which prevents power from reaching IC1, IC2 and IC3. The output of IC1 is also protected by D5 which is now reverse biased, the bridge D1 is also reverse biased and prevents T301 from discharging the battery. With no voltage at IC2 the

LINEST will be low which indicates to the main board that there is no AC power.

2726 Power Supply Board

9.2

The 2726 Power Supply Board contains the circuitry needed to power the monitor from the AC Mains (line voltage). The power supply board also connects to the battery and contains the battery charging circuitry.

AC Mains and Battery Operation Overview

9.2.1

The Model 520A can be powered from its internal 12 volt battery or from the AC

Mains. The green (sine wave icon) front panel indicator illuminates when the line cord is connected and the rear panel power switch is in the “|” (On) position. This indicates that AC Mains power is reaching the power supply, that the battery is being charged, and that if the monitor is turned on, it is being powered from the line voltage.

If AC Mains power is removed by unplugging the line cord or setting the rear panel power switch to the “0” (Off) position, the monitor will operate for up to four hours from its internal 12 volt lead-acid battery. As the battery voltage runs low (<11.5

volts), the red battery indicator on the front panel illuminates. At this point, the AC

Mains should be reconnected to power the monitor and charge the battery.

If the monitor continues to be powered from a battery in a low voltage situation, at approximately 11 volts, a continuous alarm sounds for thirty seconds while the

Message Center displays BATTERY EXHAUSTED CONNECT LINE CORD. If this alarm/message is ignored, the monitor displays will shut down and the battery indicator will flash on and off about every 5 seconds. If AC power is now restored, the monitor will re-initialize (go through the power up and self-test routines) and resume normal operation. However, continued battery operation will eventually activate a hardware low voltage circuit (<8.5 volts) that shuts the monitor off to prevent damage to the battery. Once the unit is shut down with the hardware circuit, the AC Mains must be connected and the front panel POWER key pressed before the monitor will turn back on.

The filtered, switched and fused output of the Power Entry Module is fed to the primary coils of the rear panel mounted system transformer, T301. The secondary output from T301 is rectified by D1 (bridge rectifier) and filtered by C1. The loaded

DC voltage at this point is approximately 20 volts.

The 20 DC volts is fed to the main board through fuse F301 to connector E302, and is switched to the battery charging regulator IC1 (pin 5) through Q1B. Biasing for

Q1B is accomplished by C2, R1, R2, C8 and Q1A when AC power is applied. When running on battery power Q1B is biased off by R2 and Q1A, this prevents the battery from trying to power the battery charger regulator and IC2 that informs the monitor of the loss of AC.

The output of switching regulator IC1 pin4 is rectified and filtered by D4, C4 and

VBAT+ (J302 pin 1). The battery float charge voltage is maintained at 13.2 volts except for fast charge which is regulated at 14.4 volts. The output is also monitored for over current conditions.

The voltage rectified by D1, D2 and filtered by C2 is fed to IC2 as VCH (Voltage

Charge). The output of this 5 volt regulator provides the LINEST (Line Status) signal to the main board at E302 pin 3. With AC applied, LINEST is high. LINEST goes low when the AC is disconnected. The LINEST line is also routed to the power on/off circuitry.

2471 & 2775 Main Board

PRELIMINARY

2471 & 2775 Main Board

9.3

The Main Board contains all the analog and digital circuitry that controls the sensor, external communication and front panel display. The isolated power supplies, microprocessor circuits and memory are all contained on this board. The earlier

2471 Main Board and newer 2775 Main Board are identical with exceptions noted in the text.

Power On/Off Control Circuitry

9.3.1

The Model 520A power on/off control circuitry consists of the VBACK supply

(regulated by IC12), IC10, IC11 and the

POWER

key. (See page 4 2471 schematic, page 4 on 2775 schematic.)

When the battery or AC Mains is first applied to the power supply board (via VIN

J102 pin 1), VBACK goes to +5 volts, provides power to IC10 and IC11, and through the C26 and RP4 (pins 3,4) network at IC10 pin 8, sets IC10 pin 2 to a logic

Low.

The ON/OFF line is brought Low each time the front panel

POWER

key is pressed.

This sends the output at IC11 pin10 High. This Low-to-High transition clocks the

(#1) D flip-flop portion of IC10. The /Q1 output at IC10 pin 2 goes High and with each successive press of the

POWER

key, this output toggles to the opposite level

(Low or High). A High turns the Model 520A on and a Low shuts it off.

While the /Q1 output at IC10 pin 2 is High, the MOSFET Q7 is turned on and pulls the gate of MOSFET Q8 to ground, thus causing Q8 to conduct as well. With Q8 conducting, the currently active monitor power source—either the AC Mains derived supply or the battery supply will flow through Q8 to the voltage input (pin

7) of the Pulse Width Modulator IC9. The output IC9 pin 6 will oscillate (at the frequency set by R13 and C15). This causes Q5 to switch on and off and provide a path to ground through the primary coils of T1 for the supply (Mains or battery) at

T1 pin 12. Current flowing in the primary is measured at IC9 pin 3 and the duty cycle of the pin 6 output will vary with the load on the transformer.

Current flow in the transformer primary induces current in the three secondary coils and creates the

± 12 volt analog supplies (+V12 and -V12), the VRAWI that powers the isolated RS232 circuitry, and the +5 volt VCC supply that power the remaining circuits in the monitor. The Model 520A turns on. The +V12 and -V12 supplies are rectified and filtered by D2, D4, C10, C11, C12 and C13. The +V12 is regulated by

IC7 and the -V12 by IC8. The VDD supply is rectified by D3, filtered by L1, C9 and C20 and fused at F1, and in addition, a feedback loop to IC9 contains VR1 which is factory adjusted to produce a +5.00 volt

± 0.05 volt VCC supply (measured under load).

Once the monitor powers up, a SYNC signal toggles Q9 on and off causing a timing pulse to be transmitted across C19 and C15 to the input at IC9 pin 4. This has the

effect of synchronizing the output of the pulse width modulator with the data sampling operations of the analog board and keeps power supply switching spikes from interfering with those operations.

Power Supplies

9.3.2

The secondary pins 7, 8, 9 of T1 form a center tap transformer, the voltage is rectified by D2 and D4 then filtered by C10, C11, C12 and C13. The dual 12 volt supplies, +V12 and -V12 which are generated from this voltage are regulated by

IC7 and IC8 respectively. The secondary winding of pins 5 and 6 of T1 are rectified by D3 and filtered by C9, L1 and C20, this voltage designated as VCC (+5 volts) acts as reference for IC9, supplies power for the opto isolator non-isolated side and powers other circuitry on the board.

The secondary winding consisting of pins 2 and 3 are rectified and filtered by D1 and C1. The rectified voltage at this point is approximately 7 volts DC and is regulated to 5 volts by IC2. This isolated supply powers the isolated portion of the opto-isolators and the RS232 driver chip IC1. The unregulated voltage VRAWI is sent to the rear panel connector J101.

The backup voltage (VBACK) is regulated by IC12 from the VIN supply.

Capacitors C22 and C27 serve as filters and D17 allows VCC to power VBACK circuitry when the monitor is on. At this point D18 is biased off so IC12 is idle.

When the monitor is turned off and VCC collapses D18 is then forward biased and

IC12 now supplies VBACK circuitry, D17 at this time is reverse biased and prevents power from reaching VCC.

The saturation sensor LEDs derive their power (LEDSRC) from the current regulator IC32. (See sheet 3 on 2471 schematic, page 2 on 2775 schematic.)

Resistor R31 limits the maximum current draw to 45 mA (nominal draw 35 mA).

Regulator output is filtered by C85 and L2. The charge stored on capacitor C1 supplies the 290-350 mA peak currents that can occur when the sensor LEDs are turned on. Diode D12 prevents the regulator output from exceeding +7.5 volts while the fuse, F2, provides current limit protection in the event of a regulator circuitry failure. The RP10 (pins 1,8 and 5,6) divider network provides the CPU (via IC33) with a means to monitor the LEDSRC status.

The +VA and -V12 supplies are regulated to +V5 (+5 volts) and -V5 (-5 volts) by

IC44 and IC43 respectively. These supplies are used by the 20 bit ADCs, the 8 bit

ADC and other circuits associated with them.

Voltage References

9.3.3

A +2.5 volt precision reference supply, generated by IC35 from the 12 volt +V12 supply, is used as a reference voltage for the ADC chips IC37 and IC34.

20

Model 520A Service Manual 5693-90-01

2471 & 2775 Main Board

PRELIMINARY

The +2.5 volt output from IC35 pin 6 is fed to the non-inverting input of amplifier

IC36 pin 3. Resistors R32 and R33 combine for a gain of 1.617 that provides a

+4.096 volt reference (approximately) supply, 4VREF, at IC31 pin 1.

The 4VREF is fed to IC30 pin 13 which is set up as a unity gain inverting buffer amplifier, therefore the output at IC30 pin 14 is -4 volts. This -4 volts is used by

IC29 as a reference voltage for VLED (Voltage LED) and CNTRST (Contrast) controls. (See sheet 4 on 2471 schematic, sheet 3 on 2775 schematic.)

Preserving RAM and Real Time Clock Data

9.3.4

The NAND gate output at IC11 pin11 will be Low when the monitor is on (IC10 pin 2 is High) and High when the monitor is off (IC10 pin 2 is Low). (See sheet 4 of 5 on schematic.) This PWRON* (Power On) signal is used to prevent corruption of RAM and clock data when the monitor is turned off. It does this by going High and therefore denying CPU access to the RAM and clock chips so that as the power supplies crash when the monitor is turned off, the CPU cannot send erroneous data to the chips.

Whenever the CPU is writing information to the RAM or Real Time Clock chips, the CPU momentarily sends the OFFDIS (Off Disable) line High. The High going level appears at IC11 pin 2. Since the monitor is powered on, IC11 pin1 will be

High. This means IC11 pin3 momentarily goes Low, Q6 starts to conduct and IC10 pin 4 goes High. In this reset condition the /Q1 output #1 flip-flop of IC10 (pin 2) will be held high even if the user presses the

POWER

key and clocks the flip-flop.

In effect, the CPU is not allowing the monitor to be turned off. The Low at IC11 pin3 will last for the duration of the RC time constant set by C21 and RP4 (pins 5,6).

These values were chosen to produce a time-out longer than the time necessary to complete the write to RAM or Real Time Clock operation. After the RC time-out,

IC10 pin 4 returns Low and a press of the

POWER

key will toggle the /Q1 output of

IC10 and the monitor will turn off. This is done to prevent corruption of RAM and

Real Time Clock data.

Low Battery Voltage Shutdown

9.3.5

The CPU monitors the battery voltage and provides the user with a low battery indicator ( ), messages and alarms. However, if these are ignored, a hardware circuit will take over and shut off the monitor before the battery is damaged.

The pulse width modulator IC9 requires at least 7.6 volts at pin 7, its voltage supply, in order to operate. This pin typically draws 10 mA of current. The resistance of the

R63 and Q8 combination is approximately 114 ohms. This equates to a voltage drop of approximately1.14 volts. Therefore if the battery voltage drops under 9.0 volts

(approximately), IC9 will not have sufficient voltage to operate and will shut down.

Shutdown of IC9 stops current flow through transformer T1 and the secondary supplies shut down, effectively turning off the monitor.

5-Jun-01 Model 520A Service Manual

21

Section 9

Electronic Theory of Operation

PRELIMINARY

When IC9 shuts down, its VREF output at pin 8 is pulled Low. This forward biases

D6 and causes the NAND gate output at IC11 pin4 to go High. The #2 flip-flop of

IC10 is clocked, and the High at the D2 input (because /Q1 is High) is transferred to the Q2 output at pin 13. The High at pin 13 Sets the #1 flip-flop causing the /Q1 pin 2 output to go Low. This Low shuts off both MOSFETs Q7 and Q8, thereby blocking any supply voltage from IC9 pin 7. Normally, pressing the front panel

POWER

key would clock flip-flop #1 (at pin 3) and return the pin 2 output High— but the High output at pin 13 keeps the #1 flip-flop Set—and the

POWER

key has no effect.

If at this point the AC MAINS is reconnected, MOSFET Q8 continues to block current from IC9 pin 7 and the monitor remains off. Connecting the AC Mains does however send the LINEST signal High. This High Line Status signal is brought to

IC10 pin10 where it Resets the #2 flip-flop, sending IC10 pin 13 Low and removing the Set condition from flip-flop #1. Now, if the front panel

POWER

key is pressed, flip-flop #1 is clocked, IC11 pin11 goes High, MOSFETs Q7 and Q8 turn on, the supply to IC9 pin 7 is restored, the pulse width modulator restarts, energizes T1, and the monitor turns back on.

Timing Sequencer

9.3.6

A 14 stage divider, IC39, acts as a timing sequencer. (See sheet 3 on 2471 schematic, sheet 2 on 2775 schematic.) A 3.276 MHz crystal Y2, provides a Clock

Sequence (CLKSEQ) to IC39 pin 10. The IC39 pin 11 RESET input line resets

IC39 on monitor power up.

The IC39 pin 9 Q1,output provides a clock input signal to the tone generator board located at IC27. The IC39 pin 3 Q14 output provides a 5 ms interrupt (INT5MS) for

IC18. The Q4-Q11 outputs of IC39 become inputs to the Data Sampling Controller

IC42.

Data Sampling Controller

9.3.7

The IC39 Timing Sequencer’s Q4-Q11 outputs become inputs to IC42, a PEEL

(Programmable Electrically Erasable Logic) device. The PEEL uses the CLK and

D0-D6 inputs, and the SC1 and SC2 inputs, to control data sampling by providing sensor LED drive signals and demultiplexing for the signals returning from the saturation sensor.

The waveforms in Figure 3.(with the exception of CLK) are only valid when both

the SC1 and SC2 inputs are low. The System Calibration inputs (SC1 and SC2) generated by the microprocessor, are kept low, except that they are toggled high/

low, during a Probe Off Patient alert, and during a system power up self-test. See

Calibrating the 20-Bit Analog-to-Digital Convertors on page 25.

The data sampling sequence consists of: a. turn on the Red LED (RDLED*) and the Analog Sample line (ASAMP*) c. sample the Red LED return signal (RDSMP*) e. turn on the Infrared LED (IRLED*) and the Analog Sample line (ASAMP*) f. sample the Infrared LED return signal (ISMP*) h. turn off the Infrared LED, the Analog Sample line, and stop sampling i. repeat the process starting at step a.

The Analog Sample (ASAMP*) line is used to nullify the effects of any ambient

light signals returning from the sensor. See Sensor Photodiode Return Path on page

24.

The IC42 INSIG* and SIGND* outputs are used in conjunction with the SC1 and

SC2 inputs. See Calibrating the 20-Bit Analog-to-Digital Convertors on page 25.

The IC42 pin 14 external sequencer (SYNC) line is equivalent to the PEEL’s D1 input. It provides a “sync” pulse to the pulse width modulator on the power supply board in order to keep power supply switching spikes from interfering with data sampling operations.

Sensor LED Drive Circuits

9.3.8

The VLED line voltage is derived from IC30 pin 8 which is controlled by the

Digital to Analog Converter IC29. (See sheet 4 on 2471 schematic, sheet 3 on 2775 schematic.) When address line A0 is high (IC29 pin 6) and both WR* (IC29 pin 16) and DACCS* (IC29 pin 15) are low the D/A Converter is enabled. The data on lines

PRELIMINARY

D0-D7 (IC30 pins 14-7) now control the output voltage of IC30 pin 8 (VLED) based on the VREFB voltage on IC29 pin 18.

When the RDLED* signal at IC42 pin 18 goes low (logic 0), Q14 turns off and the

Red LED signal (VLED from IC30 pin 8) at R37 is divided by R37 and R41, finally causing IC36 pin8 to go high. This positive output turns Q11 on and current flows from the LED source (LEDSRC), through the Red LED in the sensor (it turns on) returning as LED1SK (LED1 sink) across Q11 and the current limiting resistor R53 to ground. (See sheet 3 on 2471 schematic, sheet 2 on 2775 schematic.)

When RDLED* returns high (logic 1), Q14 is biased on, forcing IC36 pin8 to ground potential: Q11 is biased off, and as a result, the Red LED in the sensor is also off.

The Infrared LED drive circuit operates in the same manner as the Red LED drive discussed above. The IRLED* signal at IC42 pin 17 activates Q13 the LED2S signal causes a positive signal at IC36 pin 14, and current can flow from the

LEDSRC supply through the sensor’s Infrared LED, Q12, and the current limiting

R52 to ground.

Sensor Photodiode Return Path

9.3.9

Light, from the sensor’s Red or Infrared LED, shines through the pulsating vascular bed (the patient’s finger, toe, etc.) placed between the LEDs and the photodiode.

Some of this light emerges from the tissue and impinges on the photodiode, causing the photodiode to conduct current. IC40 pins 1-3 is set up as a differential amplifier that converts this input current to a voltage at the amplifier output. The sensors are wired such that photodiode current produces a positive voltage at IC40 pin 1

1

.

The voltage at IC40 pin 1 is presented to an analog switch IC41 pin 6. This switch is controlled at pin8 by INSIG* (Input Signal) from IC42, and will be closed (IC41 pins6 and7 connected) except if the monitor is in a Probe Off Patient condition or is undergoing its Self-Test at system power up. The switch IC41 pins 9-11, controlled from SIGND* (Signal Ground) at IC42 will be open (no connection between IC41 pins10 and 11) except as noted above for the switch at IC41 pins 6-

8. As a result, the IC40 pin 1 voltage passes undisturbed to the high pass filter consisting of R59 and C90.

As shown in Figure 3., the ASAMP* signal is active whenever either sensor LED

is turned on. This causes Q15 to turn off and the charge at C90 passes through the unity gain buffer to IC40 pin 7.

If the signal at IC40 pin 7 is the product of the Red LED being turned on, then

RDSMP* from IC42 pin 12 will go low and close the switch at IC41 pins 2-3, thereby presenting the signal to a sample and hold circuit consisting of R54 and

1. The Model 520A uses SuperBright™ sensors. If a non-SuperBright™ sensor is connected, IC40 pin 1 will go negative—a condition that causes an “Incompatible Probe” message to be displayed.

C100 (that maintains the signal until next sample pulse arrives), a gain stage, (IC38 pin 1), a filter/divider network (C87, R45 and R46), and finally, to the Red channel

Analog-to-Digital Convertor (ADC) IC34.

If the signal at IC40 pin 7 is the product of the Infrared LED being turned on, then

ISMP* from IC42 pin 13 will go low and close the switch at IC41 pins 14-15, thereby presenting the signal to a sample and hold circuit consisting of R55 and C96

(that maintains the signal until next sample pulse arrives), a gain stage, (IC38 pin

7), a filter/divider network (C88, R49 and R50), and finally, to the Infrared channel

Analog-to-Digital Convertor IC37.

Again referencing Figure 3., the ASAMP* line returns to a logic high when neither

LED is being driven, causing Q15 to turn on. With Q15 conducting, any charge at

C90 is discharged to ground and the next pulse will charge C90 from a known level.

If it were not for Q15, any charge remaining on C90 from the previous pulse or from ambient light reaching the photodiode would be added to the charge from a new pulse—creating measurement errors.

Calibrating the 20-Bit Analog-to-Digital Convertors

9.3.10

The 20-bit ADCs are calibrated as part of the system self-test which occurs each time the monitor is turned on. At power up, the microprocessor sets the CAL line high. The System Calibrations input SC1 is set high and SC2 is reset to a logic low.

The CS5503 ADC will not operate while the CAL line is high. On the falling edge of the CAL signal, the ADC will initiate a calibration cycle determined by the state of the SC1 and SC2 inputs.

The high at SC1 and the low at SC2 cause the Data Sampling Controller, IC42, to set INSIG* high and reset SIGND* to a logic low. The high INSIG* opens the switch at IC41 pin8 so that IC41 pins 6 and 7 are no longer connected— disconnecting the returning photodiode signal from the rest of the circuitry. The low

SIGND* signal closes the switch at IC41 pin9 and as a result, the input to the C90-

R59 high pass filter (and thus the entire ADC input circuitry) is brought to ground potential.

The CAL line (which went high at power up) is reset low and ADCs IC34 and IC37 begin their calibration cycles. Because the analog input circuitry is grounded via

SIGND*, only circuit offset voltages can be present at the (pin 9 AIN) input. The calibration cycle sets the ADC “zero” point to equal this voltage, thus compensating for any circuitry offsets. The ADC then sets its “full scale” point to equal the voltage at its VREF (pin 10) input. This completes the calibration cycle.

The ADC can now start sampling its input and converting it to a 20-bit digital word.

The processor resets SC1 to a logic low, causing IC41 pin9 to open and IC41 pin8

to close. The photodiode signal can now reach the ADCs. See Sensor Photodiode

Return Path on page 24.

20-Bit Analog-to-Digital Conversion

9.3.11

Data from the Red and Infrared channels is sampled by the 20-bit measurement

ADCs, IC34 and IC37 respectively. The analog input at pin 9 is converted to a digital representation with 20-bit resolution based on the input magnitude.

The CS5503 convertor continuously samples its input, converts the value to a digital word, puts the word in its output buffer (overwriting previous buffer contents), then repeats the process by again sampling its input. The frequency of the sample/convert/overwrite-buffer sequence is based on the 3.2768 MHz clock signal at the ADC pin 3 (CLKSEQ) input.

The microprocessor starts a read cycle of the Infrared channel by bringing IC37 pin

16 (Chip Select Channel 1) low. A Red channel read starts when IC34 pin 16 (Chip

Select Channel 2) is brought low.

On the falling edge of the ADC’s CS*, the output word’s MSB (most significant bit) appears at the pin-20 SDATA (Serial Data) output. The SDATA line connects directly to the microprocessor’s serial input (RXS) pin. The remaining bits (in descending order) are output from SDATA with subsequent falling edges of the

Serial Clock (SCLK) input at pin 19. The SDATA output automatically goes to a 3state (high impedance) condition after completing a word transmission, thus freeing the data line for other uses (i.e., the other ADC channel).

The Serial Clock speed is controlled through the digital board PEEL IC18. This clock rate is significantly slower than the ADC sampling rate. As a result, the ADC rewrites its output buffer with new information at a faster rate than the data can be read from the buffer. No conflict occurs, however, because while CS* is low

(during the read cycle), the ADC does not update its output buffer—the current word is not overwritten. After the processor receives the entire word, it allows the convertor’s CS* to return high, and the ADC resumes its sample/convert/overwritebuffer cycle.

Sensor Status Decoding and Conversion

9.3.12

The microprocessor monitors several sensor parameters in addition to the Red and

Infrared data channels. It monitors the status parameters, as well as the voltage of the monitor’s internal battery.

The 8-to-1 multiplexor, IC33, decodes the A0AUX-A2AUX input address lines and connects one of eight status parameter inputs (labeled channels 0-7 at IC33) to the multiplexor output at IC33 pin 3. Resistor R29 and diode D13 prevent negative voltages from reaching the input to the analog-to-digital convertor, IC31.

IC31 is an 8-bit analog-to-digital convertor with a serial data output. While the IC31

Chip Select (CS) input is high, the CLK input and DOUT output are in 3-state mode. When CS is brought low (under processor control), the most significant bit

(D7) of the PREVIOUS data conversion becomes available at the DOUT pin. The

remaining bits (D6-D0) are shifted out on subsequent falling edges of the CLK input. On the clock pulse following the one that shifts out the least significant bit

(D0), the CLK and DOUT lines are returned to 3-state and the ADC performs a new conversion based on the input it receives from the IC33 channel selected by the

A0AUX-A2AUX input address lines.

The ADC sample/convert/store-result cycle is based on internal chip timing and not the CLK input which (along with CS) only controls serial data output. Thus the CS line is free to return high once the ADC cycle begins.

Sensor Status Parameters

9.3.13

The sensor (and battery) status parameters input to the multiplexor IC33 are described below. Note that channel number refers not to the IC33 pin number, but to the signal label (e.g., channel I0 signal resides at IC33 pin 13).

Channel I0: ADCV12.

This is an extra input to the multiplexer IC33 pin 13. It is unused as of this writing.

Channel I1: Auxiliary Input.

This is an extra input to the multiplexer IC33 pin 14. It is unused as of this writing.

Channel I2: Photodiode DC Level.

Resistors R40, RP8 (pins 1, 2) and capacitor C97 form a voltage divider and low pass filter that provide a measure of the mean DC level at the output of the photodiode current-to-voltage amplifier IC40 pin 1. This channel (IC33 pin 15) is used in determining ambient light interference. If this line is examined while the sensor’s Red and Infrared LEDs are turned off, then any DC level at IC40 pin 1 must be the result of ambient light impinging on the photodiode. If the DC shift is in excess of limits set in the software, a Light Interference message appears on the monitor’s display.

Channel I3: Sensor LED Supply Voltage.

This channel, at IC33 pin 12, monitors the sensor LED supply voltage through a voltage divider consisting of RP10 (pins 5, 6) and RP8 (pins 1, 8). If a fault occurs that causes the LED supply fuse F2 to blow, or if the sensor wires are shorted, this channel reports the condition and the Message Center displays

PROBE FAILURE

.

Channel I4: Incompatible Probe Detection

The input at IC33 pin 1 provides the processor with an incompatible probe indicator

(words probe and sensor are interchangeable). The photodiode output voltage at

IC40 pin 1 will be positive if a SuperBright™ sensor is connected to the monitor.

This positive signal passes through the high pass filter of C73 and RP10 (pins 7, 8) to the amplifier inverting input IC36 pin 6, where it is summed with the -5 volt output from IC43. The resultant voltage at IC33 pin 1 will be approximately +2.81

volts with no photodiode input. This voltage drops as the (positive) photodiode signal at IC40 pin 1 increases. If the IC40 pin 1 signal goes negative, as would happen if a non-SuperBright™ 8600 series sensor were connected to the monitor,

the cumulative effect of the -5 volts and the negative photodiode signal passing through D14 and R34 would be to send the IC36 pin7 output to its positive rail (+12 volts). The processor recognizes this higher voltage and causes an

message to displayed in the Message Center.

Channel I5: Infrared LED Cathode Voltage.

A low pass filter consisting of RP10 (pins 3, 4), RP8 (pins 1, 7) and C89 provides a means to measure the cathode voltage of the sensor’s Infrared LED. If the channel at IC33 pin 5 is sampled the monitor can determine if the LED is open circuit (zero volts at IC33 pin 5) or operational (approximately 2.5 volts at IC33 pin 5). If not operational, display messages such as

PROBE I.R. LED FAILED

or

ERROR -

FAULTY PROBE

are generated.

Channel I6: Battery Supply Voltage

The monitor’s internal battery voltage is divided down by RP3 (pins 7, 8) and RP8

(pins 1, 5). The voltage at IC33 pin 2 is monitored and if its magnitude is less than a predetermined value (encoded in the software) the monitor lights and/or flashes its front panel battery indicator. This provides the user with a low battery warning.

Channel I7: Red LED Cathode Voltage.

A low pass filter consisting of RP10 (pins 1, 2), RP8 (pins 1, 8), and C92 provides a means to measure the cathode voltage of the sensor’s Red LED. If the channel at

IC33 pin 4 is sampled the monitor can determine if the LED is open circuit (zero volts at IC33 pin 4) or operational (approximately 2.5 volts at IC33 pin 4). If not operational, display messages such as

PROBE RED LED FAILED

or

Microprocessor

9.3.14

A Hitachi HD64180RP microprocessor directs the actions of the Model 520A Pulse

Oximeter. (See sheet 2 on 2471 schematic, sheet 1 on 2775 schematic.) The processor, IC16, is operated at 6.144 MHz (half the12.288 MHz frequency of crystal Y1), has an 8-bit data bus and a 19-bit address bus (the 520A uses only 18bits). The microprocessor also provides two asynchronous serial communication channels, a clocked serial I/O port and various interrupt and control signals. The +5 volt VCC supply to the processor is first sent through inductor FB1, a ferrite bead, before powering the chip at IC16 pin 32.

Memory

9.3.15

The Model 520A system software is located at IC17, a 27C010 EPROM. The 32 K byte RAM, IC20, stores trend data, system power up settings (averaging times, serial output parameters, etc.), and provides an area for system (scratchpad) memory requirements. Since IC20 is powered from the VBACK supply, RAM memory is retained when the monitor is turned off and it becomes available again when the monitor is turned back on.

28

Model 520A Service Manual 5693-90-01

2471 & 2775 Main Board

PRELIMINARY

The ROM at IC17 is read when its Chip Enable line (IC17 pin 22) is brought low by the ROMCS* signal at IC25 pin 3, and the processor brings its Read line (IC16 pin 63) low—thereby activating the ROM Output Enable line at IC17 pin 24. Under these conditions, ROM data from the specified address bus location is made available to the data bus for use by the processor.

The RAM (IC20) is activated when its Chip Select line RAMCS* (IC20 pin 20) is brought low, via IC25 pin 8. When the ME* line at IC25 pin 5 is low, and the inverse of address line A17 at IC25 pin 4 is low, output pin 6 of IC25 will go low.

This in turn will drive IC25 pin 10 low, with PWRON* low at IC25 pin 9, IC25 pin

8 will be low (RAMCS*). If at that time, OE (IC20 pin 22) is low, a RAM Read occurs, whereas a RAM Write will occur if WE (IC20 pin 27) is low.

Real Time Clock (RTC)

9.3.16

A Real Time Clock provides the Model 520A the ability to time stamp collected

(printed) trend data. (See sheet 4 on 2471 schematic, sheet 3 on 2775 schematic.)

The 32.768 kHz crystal, Y3, provides the timing signals for the clock chip, IC24, which is powered from the VBACK supply so that the clock can continue to keep time when the monitor is turned off (provided the monitor’s 12 volt internal battery is connected and maintains at least a nominal charge).

The RTC is activated when its Chip Select line (CS0*) at IC24 pin 2 is brought low.

With the monitor on PWRON* will be low (IC25 pin 13), the RTC* line will be brought low by the processor through IC22 pin 14, these lines drive RTCCS (Real

Time Clock Chip Select IC25 pin 11) low. If at this time, the RD* (IC24 pin 8) input is low, a RTC Read occurs, whereas a RTC Write will occur if the WR* (IC24 pin

10) input is low. Addressing is handled by A0-A3 (pins 4-7) and data I/O through

D0-D3 (pins 14-11).

Sound generator

9.3.17

The programmable tone controller IC27 is replaced with the Tone Generator

Replacement board 2755-01, this is used to drive the monitor’s audio circuit. The tone generator is clocked by IC39 pin9 from the 1.638 MHz signal, Q1. The tone generator is enabled by the processor when IC22 pin12 is brought low. While CE* is low, WR* is brought low and data bus information including frequency (pitch) and attenuation (volume) is accepted by the tone generator. The Ready signal (IC27 pin 4) goes low while accepting data and the processor is put into a Wait state until

IC27 finishes its task; then Ready returns high and the processor continues its operations.

The AUDOUT output at IC27 pin 7 drives the audio amplifier IC26. The amplifier output is coupled through capacitors C55 and brought to J109 as the SNDOUT

(Sound Out) line. The speaker which is mounted in the chassis is connected to J109,

LS1 is not installed on the 2471 Main Board.

Keypanel Interface

9.3.18

The12 keys (switches) on the Model 520A front panel are connected to the 2471

Main Board through a ribbon cable at J104. Each key (except

POWER

) is connected to an 8-bit latch (either IC14 or IC15). When any of these keys is pressed, the corresponding latch input is brought low. The processor continually reads the status of these latch outputs, the RDKEY* enables IC14 when low and the RDKEY_2* line enables IC15 when brought low.

The

POWER

key ON/OFF signal is sent through J104 pin 15. The AC Line Status signal, LINEST, is generated by the power supply, and is high (+5 volts) when the monitor is connected to the AC Line (Mains) and the rear panel switch is set to “|”.

This +5 volt level is sent to LED D2 (the green indicator) on the keypanel via

J104 pin 16. The LINEST signal is also input to the latch at IC14 pin 8 so that the

CPU can detect if the unit is operating on AC line power (IC14 pin 8 high) or on battery power (IC14 pin 8 low). Diode D9 keeps current from backfeeding into

IC14 when the monitor is turned off but still connected to the AC line.

The 2MIN (D3), AUDIO OFF (D4), ALERT (D5), and LOW BAT (D1) LEDs are driven by the 8-bit latch IC13. When each of the corresponding signals is driven

high the appropriate LED on the keypanel is illuminated. See I/O Device Controller on page 31.

Display Interface

9.3.19

The display is connected to the 2471 Main Board at J107. It is controlled by the processor using the RD* (Read), WR* (Write), and DISPCS* (Display Chip Select) lines. Data bits D0-D7 are used as input/output lines and A0 is used in conjunction with the RD* and WR* lines to distinguish between read and write operations as listed below.

A0 is brought low along with WR* and DACCS*, the data on D0-D7 controls the voltage at IC30 pin 7 which can vary from 0-4 volts. The output of IC30 pin 7, along with 4VREF feeds a summing amplifier (IC30 pins 1, 2, 3). The output of the summing amplifier IC30 pin 3 controls the base of Q10 which in turn controls the contrast of the display through a variable negative voltage.

PRELIMINARY

The backlight for the display is controlled by the DSPBR (Display Bright) line.

When DSPBR is high the gate of Q16 is biased off, current flows from Vcc through

R51 to IC45. This sets the backlight for low illumination. The illumination of the backlight is made greater when DSPBR is made low, this biases Q16 on which essentially shorts out R51 allowing more current to flow into IC45 creating a full backlight.

I/O Device Controller

9.3.20

The A/D Converter Chip Selects, serial A/D Chip Selects, Sensor Status Decoding and NEXT* line are all controlled by IC28 when selected by the OPORT line (IC21 pin 10). The OPORT line will go high when the L1* and WR* line both go low at

IC23 pins 13 and 12, this will send output pin IC23 pin 11 low which drives inverter

IC21 pin 10 high enabling IC28.

A 3 to 8 decoder is used to control the DACCS*, RTC*, DISPC*, AUD*, KEYS*,

L1*, L2*, 2KEYS* lines. when the IOE* line goes low and the LIR* line goes high being inverted by IC21 pin 2 and presented to IC22 pin 5 as a low enable line IC22 is enabled, Q0-Q7 will be driven low depending upon the A4, A5 and A6 lines on pins 1, 2, 3 respectively on IC22.

With the LPORT line high IC13 is enabled, this latches the data on lines D0-D7

(1D-8D pins 2-9) on its output pins 19-12 (1Q-8Q respectively), the outputs correspond to the following eight lines:

CAL-used by the A/D Convertors on power up to compensate for front end voltage offsets.

TML-Two Minute LED drives the LED on the front display.

AOL-Audio Out LED drives the LED on the front panel.

OFFDIS-sent to the Power On/Off section of the circuitry to prevent the monitor from being turned off while writing to RAM.

Watchdog Timer

9.3.21

The Watchdog Timer provides a system reset function in the event a hardware or software “glitch” occurs. The PEEL IC18 forms the heart of the Watchdog circuit.

(See sheet 2 on 2471 schematic, sheet 1 on 2775 schematic.)

At powerup and at specific intervals thereafter, the microprocessor outputs a logic high to IC18 pin 8, WDOG (Watchdog). The WDOG signal combines with other signals within the PEEL and as a result the Watchdog Clear (WDCLR) open drain output at IC18 pin 12 is continually brought low. This discharges the capacitor C46 before it can charge up (via RP2 pins 1 and 2) past the input threshold of IC21 pin 9.

5-Jun-01 Model 520A Service Manual

31

Section 9

Electronic Theory of Operation

PRELIMINARY

If the WDOG pulse does not appear at regular intervals, as the result of a software or hardware problem, the RC charges up and IC21 pin 8 goes low producing a

Watchdog Time-out (WDTO*) input at IC18 pin 11. WDTO* combines with other signals within the PEEL and causes the open drain Master Reset (MR) output at

IC18 pin 13 to be brought low.

A low MR causes C45 to discharge, forcing IC21 pin6 high. This sends a reset pulse to the system. It also sets the Reset Input (RESIN) signal at IC18 pin 9 high which causes RESET* at IC18 pin 19 to activate low. The active RESET line causes the microprocessor (IC16 pin 7) and the display module to be reset. The monitor then performs its powerup self-test routines, and if the “glitch” has been cleared, the monitor resumes normal operation. If the problem still exists, a self-test or other error should be displayed.

Serial I/O Controller

9.3.22

Digital data from the three Analog-To-Digital Convertors is read by the CPU through its clocked serial data input (RXS) at IC16 pin 52. The PEEL IC18 acts as the Clocked Serial I/O (CSI/O) Controller.

Except during powerup or Watchdog Timer reset,IC39 pin 3 provides an interrupt to the CSI/O controller in the form of a 5 millisecond period square-wave input to

IC18 pin 7 (INT5MS).

On the rising edge of INT5MS, a CPU interrupt request is generated when IC18 pin

18 (CPUINIT*) goes low. The CPU responds by sending the clock input to CSI/O controller (CKS) at IC18 pin 6 low. (This CKS line is inactive high unless a serial receive operation is in progress.) The CPU also sets up the ADC decode lines AA1 and AA0 at IC18 pins 5 and 4, and as a result, one of the ADC chip select lines

(CSADC1*, CSADC2*, CSADC3*) is brought low, and the CPUINIT* line is disabled.

On the rising CKS signal a CLKS output pulse at IC18 pin 14 is sent as a serial clock input to the ADC selected by the decode lines. Decode results are shown below.

2471 & 2775 Main Board

PRELIMINARY

After receiving the correct number of bits for the ADC being read, the CPU changes the AA1 and AA0 decode lines and exerts the Next line (NEXT*) at IC18 pin 9 low.

This restarts the serial data shifting out of the newly selected ADC.

After all three ADCs have been read, the CPU sets the AA1 and AA0 decode lines to exert the internal TEND signal and set the 8-bit ADC to the next channel (so that it has time to settle before the next read of the ADC). This re-enables the CPUINIT line. At this point the CSI/O controller is reset awaiting an INT5MS pulse to begin the cycle again.

RS232 Serial Communication

9.3.23

The Model 520A supports serial (RS232) communication with external devices via the monitor’s rear panel connector. Signals to and from the rear panel RS232 connector are electrically isolated from the rest of the Model 520A electronics by four opto-isolators (IC3-IC6). (See sheet 5 on 2471 schematic, sheet 4 on 2775 schematic.)

An isolated secondary coil from transformer T1 is rectified and filtered by D1 and

C1 before being input to the +5 volt regulator IC2. The regulated output of IC2 is sent to pin 25 of the 25-pin D connector on the rear panel in order to power the optional Analog Module or Telemetry transmitter. The supply also powers IC1.

The Dual RS232 Transmitter/Receiver, IC1, uses a single +5 volt supply (pin 16).

The two Receive (Rx) inputs can accept

±30 volt levels, while the two Transmit

(Tx) lines output

±9 volt levels. The four level translators within the chip turn the

RS232 level signals to 5 volt TTL/CMOS compatible levels.

Two signals lines TX0 and TX1 transmit data from the CPU across the optoisolators ICs 3 and 4 to IC1. Here the signals are level shifted to the standard

±9 volt levels and sent to the rear panel connector.

When the CPU brings the TX0 signal at R62 Low, the LED portion of IC3 becomes forward biased and illuminates and causes the transistor portion of the device to conduct. Therefore, when TX0 is Low, IC1 pin 11 is Low and when TX0 is High,

IC1 pin 11 is also High. All four opto-isolators work in the same way. IC1 level shifts its input at pin 11 and outputs RS232 standard

±9 volt levels at the TX signal at J101 pin 3. This transmit signal is used to output data to RS232 devices including the Hewlett-Packard ThinkJet Printer and the Novametrix Model 315 Printer.

The CPU TX1 signal crosses the isolation barrier at IC4. The 0-5 volt opto-isolator output at IC4 pin 5 is used to bring data to the Optional 9622-01 Analog Module.

The IC4 pin 5 output is also brought to IC1 pin 10. The level shifted output at IC1 pin 7 is unused (except for factory test use).

The Receive (RX) line at J101 pin 2 and the Clear To Send (CTS) line at J101 pin

6 are input signals to the Model 520A. They are level shifted by IC1 and sent across the isolation barrier by ICs5 and 6 respectively.

The monitor was shipped from the factory with a fully charged battery. Since the monitor draws some battery power even while turned off, it is recommended that the monitor be operated on line power for the first 24 hours to allow ample time for the battery to fully recharge.

The monitor may be operated on line power while the battery is recharging.

Approximately 16 hours are required to fully recharge a discharged battery.

During prolonged periods of storage or shipment, the battery may discharge enough to prevent the unit from turning on while operated from battery power. If this occurs, plug in the line cord, set the switch on the rear panel to the “|” On position, ensure that the green indicator on the front panel is illuminated, and allow the monitor to charge for 24 hours before switching it on.

The Calibration Tests verify the calibration and operation of the electronic circuits within the Model 520A Pulse Oximeter. These tests do NOT need to be performed on a regular (preventative maintenance) basis. Perform these tests only if the monitor fails to operate as expected and/or fails the Functional Test on page 51 and/ or the Accuracy Test on page 55. Calibration Tests should be performed only by qualified service personnel. The Model 520A contains static sensitive devices.

Follow proper grounding procedures when handling the internal components to avoid damage from static discharge.

The test requires the use of the Model TB500B

1

Sensor Simulator Test Box. This is the same device used by the factory technicians to calibrate the monitor prior to shipping. The TB500B is an updated version of the TB500A

2

Test Box.

Select a Finger Sensor or Y-Sensor™ Management Plan for each SuperBright™ Pulse Oximeter.

The plan you select determines the length of coverage—36 or 60 months.

How the Plans Work: Included in each Plan are TWO sensors—one for immediate use, the other one for back-up. If a sensor becomes inoperative, place the backup sensor into use and return the inoperative sensor in the convenient prepaid mailer. A replacement sensor will be shipped within two business days of receipt of the inoperative sensor. This simple return/replacement method will be used for the entire warranty period, thereby, guaranteeing your costs and virtually eliminating sensor tracking hassles.

Warranty: For each Pulse Oximeter a plan is purchased for, the warranty on the monitor is also extended to the length of the Plan (a pre-contract inspection may be required). Replacement sensors provided under terms of the Plan shall carry the remaining Plan warranty—replacements do not extend the warranty.

8791-36 Y-36 Plan The Plan length is 36 months. Includes 9 boxes of any Y-Strip Taping Systems

Frequently Answers and Questions

What type of sensors can be used with the Novametrix Pulse Oximeter 520A?
The Model 520A must be used in conjunction with SuperBright™ Sensors. These sensors have an 8700 series part number (e.g., 8776 or 8791). An INCOMPATIBLE PROBE display message will indicate a non-SuperBright™ Sensor (e.g., 86xx series) is in use.
How is the oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by the Novametrix Pulse Oximeter 520A?
The Model 520A utilizes sensors containing two light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photodiode. Each LED emits a specific wavelength of light (660 and 940 nanometers) through a pulsating vascular bed to the photodiode. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs different amounts of light at each wavelength as compared to unsaturated blood. Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the blood in each pulse can be used to calculate saturation.
What is the difference between functional saturation and fractional saturation values?
The Model 520A is calibrated to display “functional” saturation. This differs from the “fractional” saturation value displayed by most co-oximeters. Functional saturation is defined as: HbO2 Functional Saturation = 100 - (COHb + METHb) HbO2 = Fractional Hemoglobin COHb = Carboxyhemoglobin METHb = Methemoglobin This can be considered to represent the amount of oxyhemoglobin as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can be oxygenated. Dysfunctional hemoglobins (COHb and METHb) are not included.
What are the different power options for the Novametrix Pulse Oximeter 520A?
The Model 520A can be powered from its rechargeable internal battery or from the AC Mains.
