15 - Oxygen inlet connection

If the fan wheel stops for a failure or an obstruction, an acoustic alarm sounds.
Here below listed in decreasing priority order; on the board two 2,5A fuses are present on the inlets of the two
batteries, while the main inlet is protected by fuses on 220 V power line at the level of the main switch block.
In case of main power supply the board provide to recharging internal battery in a maximum of 10 hours; such a
recharging can be effected also when the machine is off, provided that main switch (on the rear side) is on.
The start-up of the machine (which is made by pressing the ON/OFF button on the front panel) and the choice
of power supply source are made by dedicate relay present on the board.
The board generates the following tensions:
• + 5 V / 1 A for the logic part of the system,
• + 8 V / 1,5 A for displays and panel leds powering;
• 20 V not stabilized for the polarization of analog electronic presents on LV200I/O board;
• 12 ÷ 15 V not stabilized (depends on which source is used) for powering of pneumatic circuit
electro valves, fan wheel, buzzer and relays.
The turn-on/off mechanism is effected by the circuit indicated in figure 1; with the ON/OFF switch of the panel
the two clamps get in contact the two CN2 connector clamps, starting up the Q3 transistor whom excites the K3
relay. Hence, the Vcc tension is generated (through the 8301L stabilizer) whom supply the micro controller on
the CPU board, this generates by its side an high logic level (Vcc) on the line denominated AUTO_ON whom
maintains the K3 relay excited (and so all the device is powered).
The turn-off by ON/OFF switch is possible thanks to the Q5 transistor, through whom the micro controller knows
switch status, the software carries out the turn-off when it reads the pressed switch for more than one second,
generating a low logic level (0 V) on the AUTO_ON line and turning-off all peripheral devices (display and
electro valves). The machine remains, anyway, physically powered since the ON/OFF switch is released.
LV200-MAIN/1 (CPU)
The Main board containing the control microprocessor (Hitachi H8/532 at 16 bit), an EPROM of program (max.
dimension 64 KB), a data RAM of 32 KB, a GAL 16V8 for addresses decodification, some I/O gate mapped on
the bus (among them an UART for panel communication) and a serial E2PROM of 128 byte for the storage of
operating parameters of the machine. The clock rate of microprocessor is generated by a quartz at 19,6608
MHz.
The board is equipped with a WATCH DOG circuit. This is not sensible to electric power supply and it is realized
with an NE555; such a circuit is able to generate a resetting of microprocessor if it not periodically “refreshed” by
the software, retaking the machine in a know status in case of not correct performance of the working program.
PANEL
Front panel containing a 7 segments display, indication leds and buttons. The keyboard is composed of 20
buttons and 4 dip switches organized in a 5 x 5 mother; on the board there also are the writing latch (374) and
the reading buffer (244).
The displays and leds are controlled by three M5451 integrated circuits, each of them drives two multiplexate
led groups.
These integrated circuits are serie/parallel converter which shares the clock signal keeping the data lines
separated; on the board there are three trimmers for the light intensity regulation of leds piloted by each
integrated circuit and adjusting them it is possible to conform the three groups.
LV200I/O (INPUT/OUTPUT)
Input/output board managing the pneumatic circuit.
The printed circuit is divided in two sections, whom are kept separate as most as possible, an analog and a
digital one.
In the analog part there are stabilizers for the necessary electric power supplies (+10 V, -10 V) and all circuits
for input signals conditioning, namely the amplifiers, filters, protection devices.
The analog inlets are:
• pressure signal (from transducer MPX10 mounted on board edge);
• O2 concentration signal (from an external oxymetry sensor);
• MINUTE VOLUME setting signal (from potentiometer on the panel);
• measurement signals of O2 and AIR flows (from two external flow meters).
The mass of the analog section is physically kept separate from the mass of digital section; the only contact
point of these two masses is on the LV200-MAIN/1 board on the microprocessor pins.
The digital section of the board includes:
• two digital inlets (contact cleaned by the two pressure switches);
• an outlet for signaling buzzer
• an ON/OFF electro valve outlet for medical gas commutation flow;
• two outlets for flow by-pass;
• two control outlets for proportional electro valves which regulate the flow of the two medical gas.
The proportional electro valves control is performed in PWM by two integrated circuits TL494, arranged on a
commutation frequency of approx. 30 KHz. The feedback of each of these integrated circuits is made on the
electric power of the relevant proportional electro valve; the set point (as electric power) is supplied by main
micro controller (H8/532 of LV200-MAIN/1 board) through an integrated low frequency signal PWM.

necessary to switch-on the machine keeping pressed the Å LOW AIRWAY PRESS and Å HI AIRWAY
PRESS key at the same time; after a beep emission, release the keys and press the SIMV key within 5
seconds. It appears the AutoCAL scrolling script; press the Å SIMVR key within 10 seconds to enter in
the real procedure. The first phase is relevant ot the acquisition of remarkable points of flow sensors
feature; it is necessary to connect the flow tester (RT200) and manually search the required flows.
Displaying:
On RATE display is shown the operating gas (O2 or Air); on MAX AIRWAY PRESSURE and MINUTE VOLUME
displays is shown one value proportional to the proportional valve opening (displayed value / 2500 = duty cycle
of PWM of e.v.p. control); on SIMV RATE and TRIGGER SENSITIVITY displays is shown the result of A/D
conversion of ventilator internal flow transducer; on % INSP display is shown the flow value to search in the
following way:
15 -d Æ 15 l/min at direct flow
14 -r Æ 14 l/min at distributed flow
1 00 Æ 100 l/min at distributed flow
Keys managment:
- HI AIRWAY PRESS Æ e.v.p. opening (step = 1)
- Å HI AIRWAY PRESS e.v.p. closing (step = 1)
- HI AIRWAY PRESS Æ and LOW AIRWAY PRESS Æ e.v.p. opening (step = 10)
- Å HI AIRWAY PRESS and LOW AIRWAY PRESS Æ e.v.p. closing (step = 10)
- HI AIRWAY PRESS Æ and Å LOW AIRWAY PRESS min. duty (totally closed)
- Å HI AIRWAY PRESS and Å LOW AIRWAY PRESS max. duty (totally open)
- ALARM RESET data confirmation (e2prom script)
At each data confirmation a beep sounds and the new flow value to be searched is displayed; after the last
confirmed value a flag in e2prom is resetted (= valid tables) and the automatic procedure starts.
During such procedure the same previously described data are displayed; only if the calibration is correctly
carried out, previously resetted flag is restored, otherwise the machine cannot work and at any start-up an E16
error message is generated.
NOTE: the performance of the whole calibration procedure of proportional electrovalves takes approx. 3 hour
and it is not unterruptable; without its correct completion the ventilator signals at any start-up the Er16 error
message and it does not allow the normal operation. Switch-off the ventilator
13) The duration Test: connect the ventilator to pneumatic power supply and to a patient circuit with a small
simulation bag. Switch-on the ventilator and after the autotest phase, take it to the automatic operation
with the following parameters:
- RATE = 45 bpm
- MINUTE VOLUME = 1,7 l/min
- O2 CONC: = 21%
- I:E RATIO = 33%
Put the max. and min. pressure limits at 5 - 7 cmH2O over and under the pressure peak. Leave
ventilator in continuous operation for at least 24 h. At finishing of this test verify that any alarm condition
is activated. After that switch-off the ventilator.
NOTE: Position the bag/simulator so that it does not move during all test phase. Every movement of
bag/simulator will cause a peak pressure variation, leading to the alarm condition.
14) Zeroing of working hours : press the on/off switch and keeping pressed the LOW AIRWAY PRESS. Í
