Introduction
Introduction
1.1 Scope of manual
This manual covers all subjects related to Servicing of a Dry-ISE module by a qualified Ser-
vice Technician. The following are areas covered by the manual:
Correct Operation and Interpretation of the Selectra Dry-ISE Service Screen.
Troubleshooting.
Component Replacement.
1.2 Prerequisites
It is assumed that Dry-ISE servicing will be carried out by a qualified technician who has
undergone the appropriate training in servicing a Dry-ISE module. It is also assumed that the
technician is familiar with the general operation of the Selectra system and with that of the
Dry-ISE module, and that they have read the appropriate User Manuals for each unit.
Fig. 1.2.0.1 The Dry-ISE Module
Attention!
Read the User manual

Information in the User Manual is not repeated in this Manual. It is important to read the User
Manual in combination with the Service Manual. Please be aware of all safety instructions in
the User Manual.

Introduction
1.3 Password protection

The Service Screen of the Selectra is password protected. The Service technician should
have received the Service area password during Service training. The Service area is
accessed from the main menu by pressing F5 / Service. Failure to enter the correct password
will prevent the technician from accessing the Service Screen.

The bare minimum
The bare minimum

2.1 Does the unit run?
In the event that a Dry-ISE module does not operate correctly, it is recommended that the unit
be observed during a Startup/Reset Cycle. On manual power-on the Dry-ISE should go
through a simple Startup/Reset cycle and the Peristaltic Motor should operate the pump. The
valves should switch, and Reference liquid should be pumped through the line and bubble-
detector within 25-30 seconds. Failure of any of these to occur is an indication that something
is not correct. Follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting Section (Section 6) to trouble-
shoot further.
2.2 Is the ISE activated?

A common problem encountered in troubleshooting Dry-ISE modules, is that the Dry-ISE
module has not been installed/activated within the Selectra-PC software.
To activate the Dry-ISE module on the Selectra system go to F5 Special Functions / F2
Install, then double click on the System Parameters selection in the left hand menu. The ISE
Installed box should have been checked. None of the ISE functions will be available unless
this box is checked.
2.3 Does the unit Communicate?

If there is no apparent problem observed during the Power-Up startup cycle, then the next
step is to attempt to Restart the Dry-ISE from the Selectra by going to the Special Functions /
ISE screen and pressing F1 ISE Reset. The Dry-ISE module should immediately Reset.
Next follow the Testing Presence of Dry ISE procedure in the Communications section of this
manual.
2.4 Is there reference liquid flowing?

Reference liquid is stored in the bottle contained in the recess on the left hand side of the Dry-
ISE module. This is the easiest source of liquid to use for system troubleshooting since the
movement of this liquid is exclusively under the control of the Dry-ISE module and does not
require the participation of the Selectra.
The following issues are sometime encountered:

The Reference reservoir is empty.
The lines become blocked - check the lines in the region of the pinch valves.
Check that the Reference interconnect lines are sealed onto the straws and the Reference
interface block.
Check that the straws in the Reference bottle are not blocked.
2.5 Is the sipper blocked?

Identify the Sipper on the Selectra bench. Very infrequently the end of the Sipper becomes
blocked. If this happens, blowing through the sample line (with the ISE disconnected) from
the Dry-ISE Sample connection point on the Selectra, can usually unblock the line (see the
User Manual for more details).
Serum should not be used as an initial discarded P6 measurement (after calibration). Rather,
use a LO-calibrator sample removed from the LO-calibrator position after calibration. It has
been found that the use of a serum P6 has major drawbacks. Users generally do not replen-
ish P6 frequently enough (especially over a weekend) and evaporation of the sample creates
a resulting P6 sample which is very viscous and prone to blocking the line.
Regular cleaning of the Dry-ISE and the use of a LO-cal P6 will prevent Sipper blockage in
most cases.

The service screen
The service screen

3.1 Overview
The most important screen from the standpoint of servicing a Dry-ISE module is the Service
Screen. It contains a number of diagnostic screens and test functions which can rapidly allow
a Service Technician to converge in on any module problems. It is accessed by choosing the
ISE Arm / ISE Unit from the left hand menu (Fig. 3.1.0.1). The Service screen is password
protected and not available to the normal user.
There are two categories of Service Functions (designated with the letters D and T); the first
allows the Service Technician to access some of the important raw data which lie behind the
actual measurements and calibrations. Secondly, it is possible to directly test the high preci-
sion ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), the pump motor, the two valves, the Sipper Control
circuitry.

The service screen
3.2 The service function keys

The Dry-ISE Service Screen has a set of 9 keys at the bottom of the screen (Figure 2), each
of which corresponds to a keyboard function key. The tests shown on each function key may
be carried out either by clicking on the screen key image with a mouse, or by pressing the
appropriate key on the keyboard

Table 1: The service Screen Function buttons
The exact function of each of the Service Screen keys is given in Table 1. The Service keys
F1..F4, designated with the letter D in the center of the button (D-Keys), are a method of
accessing important measurement and calibration data on the Dry-ISE module; the second
set F5..F8, designated with the letter T, are Test keys (T-Keys), which result in an action being
performed by the Dry-ISE and which also return data at the end of the test.
3.3 Paged data

A number of possible pages of data are available for all the Data buttons and some of the test
buttons. Each time a key is pressed a single action is performed (T-Keys) and a single data
page is returned to the Selectra screen (D-Keys, T-Keys). The pages are returned to the
Selectra in a wraparound fashion. As an example, the F1 key (measurement Data) returns a
total of 13 pages (Pages 0-12) of data to the screen, one page for each time the function key
is pressed. If the key is pressed for the 14th time, Page 0 will again be visible. Pressing any of
the other function key, resets the page counter to zero for all function buttons.
A number of the Service function keys return QC test information (PASS/FAIL) when a key is
first pressed. Subsequent key presses return more detailed information. Pressing the F10
button return the Selectra system to the main menu. There is no action performed on the Dry-
ISE when the F10 button is pressed.
Note that in the following manual pages, further details of each of the Data/Test
screens are given. Wherever it is appropriate, information on the possible data range
expected is given in curly brackets {...}.

The service screen
3.4 Paged data format

Each page of data consists of 5 lines (Figure 3) superimposed in the center of the Service
Screen. The first line is a title line which may also contain data (numbers). The other 4 lines
contain data in most cases. Refer to the following sections for more details on the meaning of
each screen.
Fig. 3.4.0.1 Paged Data Format Example

The service screen
3.5 F1 Measurement DATA

The function key F1 returns mostly measurement data. Pressing the key F1 for the first time
results in information on the last error encountered by the Dry-ISE. Subsequent key presses
display detailed background information on the last 6 measurements being returned to the
Selectra screen. It takes 2 pages of data to return the information for a single measurement.
The exact F1 page format is shown in Tables 2a-c.
The screens show detailed information on the last Dry-ISE measurement executed. The
actual values printed on the screen may be used by the Service Department to troubleshoot
measurement problems on the Dry-ISE.

3.7 F3 CALIBRATION DATA

Calibration data is saved within the EEPROM of the Dry-ISE module. As well as the activate
calibration, a series of the 10 most recent calibrations (together with their voltage information)
are also saved within the EEPROM permanent storage. These may be retrieved within this
section of the Service area. The information saved for each calibration is identical to the infor-
mation displayed on the Selectra screen at the end of the calibration step. If a calibration fails
for any reason, calibration values will not be saved within the Flash memory.

3.9 F5 PUMP TEST

Pressing the F5 button results in the stepping motor being exercised on both the Fast and
Slow settings (the slow setting is determined as part of calibration initialization). The first page
is a QC test. The second pages returns more detailed motor timing information. The most
important effect of pressing this button is that the Dry-ISE motor should rotate for a period of
at least 10 seconds. This is a simple test which gives instant feedback that the Selectra and
the Dry-ISE are talking to each other.

3.10 F6 ADC TESTS

Pressing the F6 key exercise the Dry-ISE ADCs (A/D Converters). The first page is a general
and comprehensive QC test (see Table 7). This test requires correct operation of the valves
and pump motor and puts the ISE electrodes in a wet state before measuring. The PASS cri-
teria are indicated in Table 7. Note that the Reference liquid reservoir has to be connected for
the QC test to work correctly. The QC page returns two numbers which are the largest Volt-
age values and Standard Deviation measured in the test.
The second F6 page returns more detailed measurement information from the page 0 test.
The third pressing of F6, triggers a multiplexed reading of the processor internal 10-bit ADC.
Three numbers are returned, which verify the operation of the 10-Bit
ADC, together with the running average of the bubble detector measurement..
The final F6 page is the raw register readings for the 16 ADC1243 registers (Register
0..15). Non-zero values in some of these registers, demonstrates that the chip-to-chip
SPI interface communications is working correctly on the main Dry-ISE PC board.

3.11 F7 VALVE TEST

Pressing the F7 button results in the two valves on the Dry-ISE module being
exercised. First the upper (Reference valve) is pulses on and off 5 times, followed by
the Sample valve. If the lower valve is seen to pulse first, the valves have probably
been mounted incorrectly.

3.12 F8 SIPPER TEST

Pressing the F8 button results in the Sipper control interface being exercised and tested on
the Dry-ISE module. Please note that due to the override of the Sipper control mechanism by
the Selectra, it is not possible to observe the Sipper actually moving.
The state of the Sipper interface control line, as sensed by the Selectra, is shown on the dia-
gram at the top of the Selectra Dry-ISE Service screen. Below the diagram, the state of the
ISE ARM CONTROL is indicated. After pressing F8, the following should be observed on the
screen: ISE ARM CONTROL: Down
At the end of the test the line should return to the Up mode and the message in Table 8,
should be observed on the screen. The time delay for the complete test is measured by the
processor internal clock. The value should be extremely close to 5.2-5.4 seconds. A second
pressing of the F8 key returns the Sipper test duration to the screen.

4.1 Servicing an ISE
It is expected that the servicing calls related to an ISE will fall into three broad categories:
1. Regular 6 monthly service visit; Trouble-Free System
2. Servicing as system which has experienced intermittent measurement problems.
3. Servicing a system which has undergone complete system failure.
The second servicing call will probably be the most difficult for the Service Engineer to trou-
bleshoot.
4.2 Service tools required

We recommend the following tools be available:
A full set of tools including metric Allen wrenches.
A laptop computer with a terminal emulator such as. HyperTerminal( Microsoft Corpora-
tion).
A female-female crossover RS232 cable (sometimes referred to as a null modem cable).
4.3 Servicing a trouble-free unit (6 months service)

The Dry-ISE system requires the following servicing steps:
1. Replacement of electrodes.
2. Replacement of tubing assemblies (utilize correct Fluid-Accessories kit).
3. Replacement of internal Sipper to ISE tubing (internal to Selectra).
4. Full functional check (Selectra ISE Service Area).
5. Calibration and Normal/Abnormal check.
4.4 Servicing units with intermittent problems

Intermittent measurement problems represent the most difficult of any type of problem for the
service engineer to troubleshoot. We recommend the following approach:
1. Review the calibration data for the time period in question.
2. Review the abnormal/normal logs for the time period in question.
3. Review the reagents and other fluids used on the analyzer.
4. Inspect the tubing set for damage and replace tubing assemblies where necessary.
5. Run a calibration and 3 normal/abnormal samples and observe carefully the operation of
the analyzer.
6. If necessary (under instructions from Service Department), retrieve the raw measurement
data for the 3 Normal/Abnormal samples using the Service Screen/F1.
7. Refer to the troubleshooting guide in the Appendix for any possible measurement prob-
lems.

Field service
4.5 Servicing a failed system

A failed system is defined as one which will never pass calibration or which will not respond to
any communications from the Selectra. A failed ISE system should be returned to the manu-
facturer for repair. However, before this is done, a few simple steps should be taken to look for
obvious communications problems.
Carry out the following in order:
1. Make sure that the ISE is activated in the Selectra Installation menu.
2. Go into ISE Screen and press F1, ISE Reset. Observe that the Reset Cycle is correct.
3. If there is no communication at this point, we recommend carrying out the communications
tests described below.
4. Go into Service menu (you will need to enter Service password) and go to ISE Arm / ISE
Unit screen.
5. Press F2, EEPROM Data and observe the QC information.
6. Press F5, Pump Test and observe the Dry-ISE motor turning for 20 seconds; observe the
QC information.
7. Press F6, ADC Test and observe the QC information.
8. Press F7, Valve Test and observe the Ref and then the Sample valves pulsing.
9. Press F8, Sipper Test and confirm the screen information that the Sipper has been acti-
vated.

Communications testing
5.1 Testing presence of Dry-ISE
The following two simple tests indicate correct communications between the Selectra and the
Dry-ISE.
1. Go to the installation Screen and double click on the Release option on the lefthand-side.
One of the boxes is labeled ISE Unit. The Version Number of the ISE software should
appear in this box (Figure 4).
2. A second simple method of testing Selectra to Dry-ISE communications is to carry out the
F5 Pump Test on the Selectra ISE Arm / ISE Unit option on Service Screen (see above).
If these tests fail, we recommend testing the Selectra and / or the Dry-ISE serial communica-
tions separately as discussed in the next sections.
Fig. 5.1.0.1 The Release Screen
5.2 Testing Selectra communications

If there is no obvious communications between the Selectra and the Dry-ISE we recommend
carrying out the following test:
1. Disconnect the Dry-ISE unit and hook up a female-female RS232 cable from side of
Selectra to the laptop RS232 port.
2. Run HyperTerminal ( 9600 + N + 8 + 1 and disable handshake control).
3. Press the ISE Reset button and observe the data string displayed on the HyperTerminal
screen.
4. Failure to see data may point at the Selectra communications as the culprit.

5.3 Testing ISE communications

The following simple test is recommended to test the communications of the Dry-ISE module:
1. Connect the Dry-ISE module to the RS232 port of a computer with a male-female RS232
interface cable.
2. Run HyperTerminal ( 9600 + N + 8 +1 and disable handshake control).
3. Power-up the Dry-ISE.
4. Wait for 54 seconds. Characters should appear on the HyperTerminal ( screen at the end
of the startup cycle.

Troubleshooting tips
6.1 Overview
Like many other apparently simple devices, nothing beats experience in being able to trouble-
shoot the system in order to make it be able to reach it's full measurement potential. This sec-
tion is an attempt to lay down some simple indicators which can allow a technician to
troubleshoot a system in the minimum time possible. The layout of the fluidic system is shown
in Fig. 6.2.0.1.
The most important indicator of system health is to observe liquid flow in the system in the dif-
ferent cycles of operation. We lay out below, some of the simple indicators of system health.
Possible problems, once identified from these tables should be fixed as recommended by the
appropriate corrective action CA1 etc.
6.2 Observing waste flow

The flow of liquid in the waste line, can given important indicators of Dry-ISE system health.
There are two states in which the waste liquid can reside; the first is a uniform liquid column;
the second is column consisting mostly of air, with intermittent liquid bubbles. Typically the
bubbles are 3-6 mm apart.
Note that, due to the finite volume of the fluid lines, the observations listed below, will require
approximately 5-10 seconds to be seen in the waste tube, once the state of the ISE module is
changed. As an example, when Ref liquid flows through the system, the uniform liquid flow
will take some time to reach the waste tube. Similarly when air is pumped through the Sample
line, it will take some time for bubbles to be observed at the level of the Waste Line.

NOTES:
1. The final cycles of Dry-ISE startup are a repeat of the first cycles; nothing more can be
learnt from observing these cycles.
2. The observed errors may also trigger an error at level of the Selectra, depending on
whether the action of Reset was initiated by the Selectra or not.
6.4 Troubleshooting measurement cycle

Note that from the standpoint of the Dry-ISE, the measurement of a sample, or the measure-
ment of a calibration standard are identical. Thus, this section applies to both and either may
be observed in an effort to troubleshoot the system.

2. If an internal error is triggered by the Selectra based on the absence of fluids at critical times,
the unit will go into an automatic flush cycl and send the appropriate error code to the Selectra
module.

ISE firmware re-programming

8.1 Introduction
Dry-ISE Modules may now be programmed in the field through the serial interface without the
need to return the units to the factory. It is expected that Service Engineer has already
received the appropriate training necessary to carry out a Firmware upgrade. Firmware soft-
ware version prior to V1.1.1 do not include the Serial bootloader. These units have to be
returned to the factory for Firmware reprogramming.
8.2 Tools required

1. Null modem interface (DB9-AME, Asynchronous modem eliminator - Black Box ME211).
Note that a null-modem (F-F) RS232 cable may be substituted.
2. ISE_Loader.exe program contained on the Selectra program disk.
8.3 Firmware download instructions

The following steps necessary to reprogram the ISE should take less than 3 minutes to per-
form.
1. Turn ISE off.
2. Remove Reference bottle from ISE (very important).
3. Remove interface cable from Selectra and connect through null modem interface to laptop
serial port.
4. Run the ISE-LOADER program.
5. If necessary change the COM port.
6. Switch on the ISE and wait until the message ISE Ready (ISUFFICENT REFERENCE
message) appears; this takes approximately 45-50 seconds.(Fig. 8.3.0.1).
7. Press Get ISE Firmware Version and make note of the version number presently installed
on the ISE.
8. Press Place ISE in Load Software Mode button and wait for ISE Turn unit off/on.
response.
9. Turn ISE off/on and wait for ISE Bootloader Ready message.
10.We recommend you check the Erase Parameter EPROM box.
11. Press Transmit .s19 File button and locate and select the file ISEProg4BL.s19.
12.A number of messages will appear on screen and a bar will show the progress of the
download (Fig. 8.4.0.1).
13.. Once the message **File Download Complete appears followed by the instruction to
Switch the system off/on, carry out that instruction and wait for the message ISE Ready
(ISUFFICENT REFERENCE message) to reappear (45-50 seconds) AS IN Fig. 8.4.0.2.
14.Press Get ISE Firmware Version to verify that the version number has been updated.
15.Switch the unit off, return the interface cable to the Selectra, switch ISE unit on and oper-
ate as normal. Remember to reconnect the Reference bottle.

Fig. 8.3.0.1 The ISE Loader Program
8.4 Troubleshooting bootloader problems

1. If no text appears on the ISE_Loader program screen after 54 seconds, after switching the
ISE unit off/on (and seeing the startup sequence taking place, including the motor turning),
then it is likely that the cabling, interconnection between the ISE and the laptop is incor-
rect.
2. If steps 1..7 proceed as expected, but step 8 does not send the correct response, then it is
possible that the ISE does not contain a serial bootloader. Please make note of the pres-
ently installed Firmware version in step 7 and contact Customer Service. The unit may
have to be sent back to the factory for upgrade to a bootloader friendly version.
3. For all other problems, contact Customer Service.
