NOTICE
Analytical instruments for in vitro diagnostic application involve the handling of human samples and controls
which should be considered at least potentially infectious. Therefore every part and accessory of the respective
instrument which may have come into contact with such samples must equally be considered as potentially
infectious.

BIOHAZARD

The „BIOHAZARD“ warning label must be affixed to instrument prior to first use with biological material !

Servicing Note:
Before doing any servicing on the instrument it is very important to thoroughly disinfect all possibly contaminated
parts. Before the instrument is removed from the laboratory for disposal or servicing, it must be decontaminated.
Decontamination should be performed by authorised well-trained personnel only, observing all necessary safety
precautions. Instruments to be returned have to be accompanied by a decontamination certificate completed by
the responsible laboratory manager. If a decontamination certificate is not supplied, the returning laboratory will
be responsible for charges resulting from non-acceptance of the instrument by the servicing centre, or from
authority’s interventions.

3 Function Description

 )XQFWLRQGHVFULSWLRQRISRZHUVXSSO\ERDUG
The electric power is provided by the switch power supply module, which outputs 6 channels of AC electric power.

- JP1 outputs 5V, used for the Mainboard board

- JP2 outputs 15V and –15V, used for the front-end board
- JP3 outputs 12V, used for the fan
- JP4 outputs 5V and 12V, used for the drive board to drive the light chopper’s motor and the light-
filtering wheel’s motor
- JP5 outputs 8V, used for the bulb
- JP6 outputs 5V, used for the LCD transfer board

 )XQFWLRQGHVFULSWLRQRIPDLQERDUG

It acts as the system platform, providing the running environment for system software and application software;
It provides the interfce that connects the front-end system, and conducts the control on the front-end system and
data acquisition processing;
It provides the I/O interfaces for the system. It supports one external RS232 interface and one parallel printer
interface.

 'HVFULSWLRQRIWKHSULQFLSOHRIWKHPDLQERDUG

The mainboard board is composed of the following parts:

SH7709, Flash Memory and DRAM compose the basic platform for the running of the system; system software and
application software are written in Flash Memory. The system’s storage region 0 is assigned for Flash Memory’s
address space; the low 32M space of the system’s storage region 3 is assigned for DRAM’s address space.
CPU’s external frequency is 20MHz.
When the system is booting, the program is executed directly on the Flash Memory.
The startup region program on the Flash Memory is capable of updating the software.

HD64461 and Frame Memory compose the system’s peripheral controller, which is mainly used to support LCD’s
displaying; the high 32M space of the system’s storage region 3 is assigned for Frame Memory’s address space,
which is directly connected with HD64461.
HD64461 supports the interface with SH7709 and supports color/black-and-white STN-LCD interface. In the
system, HD64461’s displaying interface is connected with LCD.

There is one serial communication port and one parallel port on the mainboard:

The serial port on SH7709 constitutes the RS232 port for external use;
HD64461 and TL16C552 extended chip provide a parallel port for the system, and the extended parallel port is used
to connect the external parallel printer.

 )XQFWLRQGHVFULSWLRQRIIURQWHQGERDUG

It converts the instructions that come from the mainboard into driving signals and locating signals, so as to control
the light-filtering wheel’s motor and control the predetermined-position attainment signal and reset signal for the
small cart. It is also in charge of converting the lighting strength signal that the photocell received into digital
signal and returning it to the mainboard.

 )XQFWLRQGHVFULSWLRQRIFRQWUROERDUG

The control board is in charge of receiving the control signals of the front-end board, providing voltage for light-
chopper’s motor and driving the light-filtering wheel’s motor and belt wheel’s motor.

4/19
 )XQFWLRQGHVFULSWLRQRI/&'WUDQVIHUERDUG

It is in charge of LCD screen’s displaying. It produces high voltage used for LCD screen, receives the touch signal that
returns from the LCD screen and returns it to the mainboard.

 )XQFWLRQGHVFULSWLRQRI/&'VFUHHQ

It displays and accepts the instructions generated by external touches.
