1 Basic Principle
Biochemistry analyzer bases its testing principle on Lambert Leer Law. By
mixing up reagents and patient serum samples in a fixed proportion and then
incubating the mixture in a cuvette at a certain temperature, the instrument
continuously measures light absorption of a certain wavelength and
automatically calculates concentration of a tested matter according to different
light absorption results.

Main control panel is mainly composed of digital signal processor, complex
programmable logic device, memory chip, AD conversion chip, AD
amplification chip, RS232 interface, parallel interface of reaction plate and

motors and optical couplers (As shown in Figure 6-3).
Figure 6-3 Bus plate

Motor board drives motors of sampling arm and sample rotor and controls
solenoid on/off. Its address code can be set as required (1-16) (as shown in
Figure 6-4).
There are four rows of contact pins below single chip of motor board, which
are called 8421 codes. The codes are arranged in a sequence of 1, 2, 4, and
8 from outside to inside and can be connected with shorting stubs. The
address code shown in Figure 6-5 is 6.

Figure 6-5 Address code
High power motor board is to control operation of diluter and solenoids

on/off. It has 4 fixed address codes: 16, 17, 18 and 41 (as shown in Figure 6-
5).
Figure 6-5 High power motor board

Reaction plate motor board is to control operation of reaction plate. It is
under direct control of main control panel by means of parallel serial ports (as
shown in Figure 6-6).
Figure 6-6 Reaction plate motor board

5V power board is a module to power optical coupler and motor boards (as

shown in Figure 6-7).
Liquid level detecting board controls level signals to adjust liquid level
detecting sensitivity.
Liquid Level Detecting Board 5V Power Board

Figure 6-7 Liquid level detecting board and power board
6.3 Power System

Power system consists of a main power switch, a wave filter, an isolating
transformer, a switching power supply and electric wires. The main function of
the system is to supply required voltages to instrument and to control
instrument on/off. Circuit diagram of power system is shown as Figure 6-8.
Figure 6-8 Circuit diagram of power system

6.4 Analytic System
Analytic system is essential to the instrument.
6.4.1 Optical System

use of 340 nm test channel, No. 2 for 405 nm test channel and others for the
rest of test channels.
-- Tighten optical fiber head with M3*3 jackscrews. Make sure the screw
heads are lower than surface of heating ring to assure smooth rotation of
reaction plate.

Use a white cardboard with a width of 5mm to observe light paths. Higher
facula requires more reagents while lower facula may result in incorrect test
results.

Figure 6-15
6.4.4.3 Optical Coupler Replacement

Reaction plate is designed with a long optical coupler and a short optical
coupler. The long coupler is used to reset reaction plate, while the short one is
a computing coupler for controlling AD sampling. If the short coupler is faulty,
cleaning head will collide with reaction plate when cleaning and the
absorbency could be 0.
-- Code wheel is placed in the center between the two couplers. Make sure it
doesnt rub with the couplers while spinning.
-- Make sure the holder stands in parallel with tangent of code wheel when
installing the two optical couplers.
-- After resetting reaction plate, indicators of the two optical couplers come
on at the same time. If indicators dont come on all at once, reaction results
could be shown in a jagged curve or cleaning needle may collide with reaction
plate.

6.4.4.3 Filter Replacement

Check filter. If filter is severely damaged after long time operation or filter is
mouldy due to moist operational environment, replace filter.

-- First remove the faulty filter.
-- Install filter cover with the arrow facing outward before installing photocell
cover. Compress filter to prevent it from becoming loose. Do not touch surface
of filter with bare hands or tools. Do not clean filter surface with water or any
organic solutions.
-- Install filter cover onto heating ring and align it with inner surface of heating
ring. Failure to do so may hinder reaction plate rotation or cause damage to
cuvettes. Tighten filter with inner hexagon jackscrews. Keep screw heads
below surface of heating ring. Failure to do so may hinder reaction plate
rotation.

7 Replacement of Easily Damaged Parts

Regularly maintain, adjust or replace components to ensure instrument
normal operation.
Note
Maintenance, adjustment or replacement of components shall be done by
professional engineers or users trained with professional knowledge.

7.1 Replacement of Lamp
Make sure that the lamp doesnt work or has worked for 2 years before
replacing. Use the following steps for replacement:
-- Switching off the instrument for 15 min.
-- Open instrument back plate and disconnect power adaptor of lamp.
-- Unscrew four screws on lampshade. Remove lampshade and the ceramic
socket.
-- Unscrew the screws that secure lamp before removing it.
-- Reassemble lamp ceramic socket and tighten lamp with screws.
-- Secure lampshade with screws.
-- Connect power adaptor of lamp.

Schematic diagrams for lamp replacement are shown as Figure 6-23.
Lampshade Lamp Ceramic socket Shell

Figure 6-23 Lamp replacement
Note
-- Check and confirm the instrument is switched off when replacing lamp.
Replacing lamp during running state may cause damage to new lamp.
-- Do not replace lamp immediately after the instrument is switched off.
Failure to do so may get you burnt by its extremely hot surface.
7.2 Diluter Piston Replacement

Use the following steps to replace diluters piston:
-- Access Device Run\Device maintenance and click Device reset.
-- Use a tool to open window of diluter.
-- Loosen nuts at the end of diluters piston (A shown in Figure 6-24).
-- Unscrew the screws retaining diluter (B shown in Figure 6-24). Remove
glass tube.
-- Release piston from glass tube. Clean new piston with an alcohol pad and
apply seal grease at 1/2 of piston end before gently putting it into glass tube.
-- Carefully adjust and tighten screws that secure diluter to make piston fall
naturally at the center of glass tube. Schematic diagram of diluters piston
installation is shown as 6-25.
-- Along the direction of tube glass, pull piston downwards 3mm.
-- Tighten screws on both sides of piston.

-- Close diluter window and secure it with screws.
Figure 6-24
Correct
Figure 6-25 Wrong
Note
-- Do not scratch piston when installing. Failure to do so may decrease
accuracy of test results caused by pipe leakage.
-- Be sure to install piston at the center of glass tube. Failure to do so may
reduce service life of piston or cause damage to glass tube.
-- Apply seal grease to piston every three month.
7.3 Probe Replacement

Use the same steps to replace sampling needle and reagent needle.
-- First open the cap on the needle. Then use pliers to snip the string that
fixes needle.
-- Unscrew the screws that secure string and the forcing screws that secure
needle.
-- Remove probe, then remove the hose on it.

Figure 6-26
Figure 6-27
Note
-- Make sure the probe is vertical.
-- Retaining screws M24 of wire 1 should not be too long to avoid
interference with sample needle.
7.4 Cuvette Replacement

If blank absorbency is higher than 0.02A, which is caused by worn or dirty
cuvette, replace cuvette.
Note

-- Do not touch front and back sides of cuvette.
-- Keep upper surfaces of cuvettes at the same horizontal level. Failure to do
so may cause water to remain in cuvettes, which may result in incorrect test
results.
-- Be sure to use cuvettes of the same lot.
7.5 Fuse Replacement

Use the following steps to replace fuse.
-- Extra fuses are provided in a package attacked with the instrument. The
instrument uses an 8A fuse, while water heating system uses a 4A fuse.

base inside the socket with a tool.
-- Remove blown fuse, put the new fuse into fuse base and reset the base
back to its original place.
-- Connect power plug.
7.6 Adjustment of Probing Sensitivity

Use the following steps to adjust probing sensitivity:
Open back plate of instrument with a tool. Follow Figure 6-28 and the
flashing indicator to locate corresponding circuit board. Each probing control
board is designed with a row of binary dial plate. A higher value corresponds
to a more sensitive detecting board. Schematic diagram is shown as Figure 6-
