SECTION I SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
____________________________________________________________________________

Continuous impedance checking may need to be disabled if the 1 nanoampere 128 Hz


impedance check signal interferes with other equipment (e.g., evoked potential monitors).

Check the battery periodically, by operating an A-2000 that has been disconnected from
the wall socket and that has been charging the battery for at least 4 hours. After long
periods of storage (e.g., more than 1 month) it may be necessary to cycle (charge, then
discharge) the battery a few times to get full charge capacity. If the A-2000 fails to operate
reliably from the battery for 20 minutes, battery replacement is required.

The A-2000 contains an internal Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery. The battery must be


removed by a qualified service technician and disposed of or recycled in accordance with
the national laws of the country. Contact Aspect Medical Systems, Inc. or the local
distributor for servicing of battery.

Avoid liquid ingress to the PIC. Contact of fluids with the PIC sensor connectors can
interfere with PIC performance.

The A-2000 Monitor should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the A-2000 monitor should be observed to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

The A-2000 system complies with the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of


EN60601-1-2. Operation of this device may affect or be affected by other equipment in the
vicinity due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). If this occurs:
• Increase separation between devices
• Re-orient device cabling

SECTION II
2 A-2000 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCING THE A-2000 BIS MONITORING SYSTEM

Aspect Medical Systems A-2000 BIS Monitoring System is intended to monitor the state of the
brain by data acquisition of EEG signals in the intensive care unit, operating room, and for clinical
research. The BIS, a processed EEG variable, may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of
certain anesthetic agents.

The A-2000 processes raw EEG signals to produce a single number, called the Bispectral Index™,
or BIS, which correlates to the patient’s level of hypnosis. It operates from an AC power source of
100V to 240V, 50/60Hz, and provides a minimum 20 minutes of automatic back-up battery power.
The monitor is menu-driven with fixed keys for choosing the options available.

2.1.1 Principal Components


The system is composed of a monitor and a digital signal converter, with a patient interface cable
(PIC), and BIS Sensor.

2.1.1.1 Monitor
The monitor contains the operator control panel, an electro-luminescent display screen, and
connectors for the digital signal converter and printer.

Front Panel Controls:

The [SILENCE] key toggles audible alarms on and off.

The left [←] and right [→] arrow keys are used to enter Review
mode and to scroll data backward and forward in time. In the BIS
Log, they show the previous [←] or next [→] screen of data .

The [MENU/EXIT] key is used to enter and exit the Setup Menu.
In Review mode it will return the user to the main screen. It is
also used to halt certain procedures, such as the sensor check,
and to answer "no" to a question.

The up [↑] and down [↓] arrows are used to move from one menu
selection to another. They are also used to increment and
decrement values. In the BIS Log, they are used to zoom time
out or in (increase or decrease reporting intervals).

The [SELECT] key is used to move between options within a


menu selection, to confirm an entry, and to answer "yes" to a
question.

3 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION
This section includes:

• How the A-2000 BIS Monitoring System works


• The architecture of the A-2000 monitor and DSC
• System Features

3.1 HOW THE A-2000 MONITORING SYSTEM WORKS

Sensors placed on the patient's head transmit EEG signals to the Digital Signal Converter. The
DSC amplifies and digitizes these signals, then sends them to the monitor. The monitor software
filters the data, analyzes it for artifact, and processes it using digital signal processing techniques.
The purpose of processing the EEG waveform data is to extract characteristic features from the
complex signal in order to provide easier pattern recognition of changes over time during the
recording.

The A-2000 BIS Monitoring System consists of:


• The BIS monitor with built-in battery backup and detachable power cord
• The Digital Signal Converter (DSC)
• Aspect’s BIS Sensor Patient Interface Cable (PIC) and BIS Sensor

3.2 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Hardware is divided into three main components: the monitor, the digital signal converter (DSC)
and the Patient Interface Cable (PIC) with BIS Sensor. The A-2000 monitor contains the circuits
for monitor control, digitally processing the EEG data, computing the processed parameters, and
displaying the waveforms and processed parameters. The circuits to acquire and digitize the
EEG signals reside in the Digital Signal Converter (DSC). The PIC and Sensor are the patient
connection for EEG signal acquisition.

A block diagram depicting the monitor subassemblies appears in Figure 3-1. A signal flow
diagram appears in Figure 3-2.

After passing through input protection circuits in the DSC, the EEG signals are differentially amplified
and filtered to remove DC and high frequency components. The signals are digitized by separate
one bit sigma-delta analog to digital converters. The outputs from the converters are multiplexed
onto the DSC communications line and de-multiplexed in the monitor prior to being fed to the Digital
Signal Processor (DSP). The DSP filters the signals and computes the processed variables. The
results are passed to the host CPU for display.

SECTION III PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
_____________________________________________________________________________

3.2.1 The Digital Signal Converter (DSC)


The DSC contains the inputs, amplifiers, and digitizers for two channels of EEG. It has a single point
connection that connects via a Patient Interface Cable (PIC) to a BIS Sensor. The sensor and PIC
contain circuits for identifying them to the monitor. This permits the monitor to configure
automatically.
The DSC constantly monitors the combined source impedance at its inputs, and also has facility for
measuring the individual impedance of the channel and ground electrodes. There are circuits for
injecting self-test voltages into the amplifier inputs.

3.2.1.1 The DSC Preamplifier Circuits


The preamplifier circuits contain the input protection circuits, montage mode switches, differential
amplifiers, filter and gain amplifiers, impedance test circuits, self test circuits, and parts of the sensor
ID circuit.

3.2.1.2 DSC Signal Conditioning


The input protection circuits are designed to protect the inputs from destruction by electric shock from
sources such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) or defibrillation. The protection circuits also reduce
the effects of high frequency ambient noise from sources such as electro-cautery and other devices.

The montage mode switches follow the protection circuits. These switches configure the inputs
appropriately for the sensor. The signals are amplified by instrumentation amplifiers, which have a
fixed gain. The amplifiers have DC servos, which remove the signals below high pass cutoff
frequency. In the event of amplifier overload, the servos are changed to a higher frequency to
facilitate fast recovery (blocking) under control of the host processor.

Each channel is further amplified to the level required by the A/D converters. The amplifiers also
serve as filters to prevent aliasing by the converters.

3.2.1.3 DSC Impedance Testing


In the default state of the DSC the combined channel electrodes’ impedance is continuously
checked. A small current (approximately 1 nanoampere) is injected into each electrode at 128 Hz,
just above the EEG band. The resulting voltages are measured. Equal but opposite currents are
injected into the (+) and (-) electrodes simultaneously while the digital signal processor measures the
resulting voltage. BIS monitoring is performed while combined impedance is checked.

The DSC can also measure the individual electrode impedance by injecting current into the REF
electrode only. Individual electrode impedance is derived by subtracting the resulting value from the
combined value. BIS monitoring is interrupted while individual impedance is checked.

The ground electrode impedance is also measured while injecting current into the REF electrode.
BIS monitoring is interrupted while the ground impedance is checked.

The impedance check signal can occasionally interfere with other monitoring equipment connected
to the patient. Evoked potential monitors are particularly susceptible because they use a wide
bandwidth. The automatic impedance check feature can be turned off by selecting “Impedance
Checking – OFF” in the Diagnostics Menu (See Operating Manual for specific instructions).

SECTION III PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
_____________________________________________________________________________

3.2.1.4 The DSC Communications Circuits


The communications circuits contain the analog to digital (A/D) converter for each channel, the
monitor interface, the sensor interface and the power supply circuits. A crystal controlled DSC master
clock is on this board. This clock is the system’s BIS processing clock.

A/D Conversion (Patented technology)


The communications board contains sigma-delta modulators for the two channels. These run at
16384 samples per second.

Test Signal
A calibrated test signal is generated on the communications board during DSC self test. The signal
is a 2 Hz square wave of approximately +/-50µV. It is applied to the inputs of the differential
amplifiers, resulting in a test of the entire signal path except for the input connections and protection
circuits. During self test noise, gain and frequency response are checked.

Interface to the Monitor (Patented technology)


The outputs from the two channels are multiplexed in a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
Multiplexed with the EEG data is status information such as DSC identification, mode (bipolar or
referential), lead off indication, and power supply faults. The status information is only transmitted on
command from the host. The output is transformer coupled onto a balanced twisted pair line. The
transformer provides the required patient isolation.

The communications board decodes the control information coming from the host via a command
line. Commands such as “block” amplifier saturation and conduct impedance tests are transmitted.

DSC Power Supply (Patented technology)


The DSC derives power from the command line. The line is balanced twisted pair coupled via a
transformer on the communications board. The isolated signal is rectified and linearly regulated to
provide DSC power.

3.2.1.5 The DSC Mechanicals


The DSC is contained in a small custom designed plastic case about the size of a computer mouse
(see Figure 2-1). It is connected to the monitor via a narrow, highly flexible cable. The case has one
large eyelet at the corner to allow the user to use a strap to hang the DSC or pin it to the bed sheets.
The patient connection is accomplished with an Aspect BIS Sensor for low and balanced impedance.
The Patient Interface Cable pigtail and the monitor cables are strain relieved and permanently
attached to the case. A proprietary connector is used for the patient interface cable connection and a
high quality plastic connector is used for connection to the monitor.

There are no ventilation holes in the DSC case. It will not leak when splashed with liquids.
The case is electrically shielded both to prevent spurious emissions from the DSC and to prevent
externally caused interference with the DSC circuits.

3.2.2 The A-2000 Monitor


The A-2000 monitor contains the circuits for digitally processing the EEG data, computing the
processed parameters, and displaying the waveforms and processed parameters.

The monitor also contains the circuits for powering the monitor, DSC, and companion printer.
Printer function is not available on battery backup.

A block diagram depicting the monitor subassemblies appears in Figure 3-1. A signal flow
diagram appears in Figure 3-2. The signals are acquired and digitized by the DSC. The DSC
multiplexes the signals onto the DSC communications line. The EEG signals are de-multiplexed
in the monitor and fed to the Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The processor filters and down-
samples them, calculates the processed parameters, and outputs the data display.

3.2.2.1 The Main Board


The Main board contains the Digital Signal Processor, the Host processor, FPGA (field
programmable gate array), data memory, real time clock, and DSC interface.

3.2.2.2 Digital Signal Processor


The functions of the DSP include: decimation filters for up to 2 channels of EEG data,
computation of processed EEG parameters, control of the DSC, and interface with the host.

3.2.2.3 Host Processor


The functions of the host processor include: control of the display, interface with the keypad,
serial port, and printer, control of monitor boot up and download, control of memory.

An on board annunciator is included for generating alarm sounds.

The display interface is a 4-bit LCD type.

The serial port is standard RS-232. This port is used to communicate between the A-2000 and an
attached device. The device may be a data capture computer (PC) or a software upgrade device.
Software and firmware can be downloaded through this serial port.

The printer interface is a non-standard serial type with extra lines for printer keys and printer
control and status. It is designed to interface with a Seiko printer interface board.

3.2.2.4 The Digital Signal Converter (DSC) Interface


The DSC interface is composed of two unidirectional bi-phase encoded serial lines, one going to the
DSC and another bringing data from the DSC.

The power to the interface is under software control. An overcurrent detector circuit monitors current
to the DSC. If the current exceeds the expected value, the power is shut off to the DSC by the
hardware, and the DSP, the Host, and the user are notified.

3.2.2.5 The Interconnect Board


The A-2000 monitor is designed with a minimum of internal cabling. The Interconnect board
provides the physical mounting and electrical connections for the major subassemblies of the
A-2000. It has mounted to it the power input module (connector for the AC power cord and
associated fuses), the equipotential stud, the power switch, and connectors for the printer
(external), the serial port (external) and the various internal connectors for the Main PCB, Switch
pad, battery, and fan.

3.2.2.6 The Power Supply


The power supply runs from AC power from 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. It provides +5 V (at 6 A)
and +12 V (at 0.72 A) outputs and charges the battery (6-cell NiMH) 7.2 V (nominal), 1800 mA.
Signals are provided to the processor to indicate AC FAIL, RESET, and LOW BATTERY.

3.2.2.7 The Battery


The battery is for backup use only. The battery is a six-cell arrangement including temperature
and current control elements, and has a nominal output of 7.2 volts DC. The battery is charged
only when the A-2000 Monitor is turned on and running from AC power. It is capable of
supporting monitor operation for a minimum of 20 minutes. Printer use is not enabled during
battery operation. The battery’s life expectancy is approximately 5 years or 200 charge and
discharge cycles, whichever occurs first.

3.2.2.8 The Fan


A fan is located on the rear panel of the chassis. The fan keeps the temperature rise inside the
chassis to within approximately 10 degrees of the ambient temperature.

3.2.3 A-2000 Printer


The printer is fastened to the monitor bottom and is connected mechanically and electrically (no
cable required). The printer interface is compatible only with the optional A-2000 printer. See the
A-2000 Printer Operating Manual for details.

3.3 SYSTEM FEATURES

DURING OPERATION OR WHILE POWER IS CONNECTED TO MONITOR.

GROUND WIRE LEAKAGE CURRENT MUST BE CHECKED WHENEVER


INSTRUMENT CASE IS OPENED BY A QUALIFIED BIOMEDICAL
ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN.

5.2.2 Checking Leakage Current


Leakage current is a primary indicator of electrical shock hazard to personnel making contact with
any exposed outer surface of the equipment. Each A-2000 BIS Monitor is carefully checked at
the factory to verify that leakage current meets the UL2601 and IEC601-1 safety standards.

The A-2000 should be routinely checked for leakage current at least once a year. (See
Appendix I). Always check the leakage current after a saline or blood spill, or immediately after a
major surge in the house electrical system and after every time the monitor case has been
opened.

Keep in mind that liquids such as saline and Ringer’s as well as blood are all excellent conductors
of electricity. Avoid touching any part of the system with wet hands. Always work with clean, dry
hands.

damage and verification that the self test will pass.

IF ANY FAILURES ARE NOTED, SEE STATUS MESSAGES AND


OPERATOR ACTIONS SECTION 6.3

1. Using a known good A-2000 monitor (see section 6.2.1), power up the A-2000 and verify the
screen message “Connect DSC Cable to Front of Monitor” displays.
2. Connect the DSC that you are testing and verify the screen message “Connect Sensor to
DSC” displays.
3. Perform DSC Self Test. See section 6.2.2
4. Repeat DSC Self test while flexing cables to see if intermittent opens or shorts exist.
5. If PIC and Sensor are available, perform PIC Checkout Procedure. See section 6.2.3.
6. Repeat Sensor check while flexing cable to see if intermittent opens or shorts exist.

5.2.5 Patient Interface Cable (PIC) Checkout Procedure


The Patient Interface Cable (PIC) checkout is done using the A2000 monitor’s Sensor Check
routine and a Sensor Simulator (see Appendix I, 9.2) or Test Sensor (see Appendix I, 9.3).

IF ANY FAILURES ARE NOTED, SEE STATUS MESSAGES AND


OPERATOR ACTIONS SECTION 6.3

1. Using a known good A-2000 monitor (see section 6.2.1) and a known good DSC (see section
6.2.2.) connect the PIC to be tested to the DSC and the DSC to the A-2000 monitor.
2. Power ON the A-2000 monitor and DSC. At the completion of the power up self-test, verify
that the screen message “Connect Sensor to DSC” displays.

4. A sensor check is initiated automatically when the sensor and PIC are connected to the DSC.
(It may also be initiated by the user in the Setup Menu.) The impedance value for each
electrode, in kilo ohms, appears on the screen along with its status:

PASS - An electrode passes if the impedance for that electrode is less than 7.5 kilo
ohms. The ground electrode must be less than 100 kilo ohms to pass.

HIGH - An electrode is labeled "HIGH" if its impedance value is above 7.5 kilo ohms. As
long as the combined impedance is less than 15 kilo ohms, the Sensor Check will be
considered successful. If the combined impedance is over the 15 kilo ohms limit, you will
need to re-prep the electrodes and check all connections. The monitor will continue to
check impedance until it is acceptable.

NOISE - If the signal from the electrode goes beyond the measurable range, the label
"NOISE" will appear.

LDOFF - If a lead is too loose or disconnected, the label "LDOFF" will appear.

5. NOTE: Sensor Check is used in clinical application as an indicator of the patient’s skin
conductivity. When used with a Sensor Simulator or Test Sensor, it serves the purpose of
verifying the DSC and PIC cable conductors. Therefore the status indications called out
above need to be interpreted as conditions relating to the DSC and PIC ability to conduct the
sensor check signal. Values that are too high must be investigated as possible failures to be
repaired.

cables and connectors should not cause the Sensor Check to fail.

5.2.6 Physical Integrity Inspection

Periodically check the system (A-2000 Monitor, DSC, PIC cable) for physical damage to cases,
and associated cables and connectors.

1. Inspect the cases of the monitor and the DSC to insure plastic is not cracked or broken
2. Inspect the gasket seal around the case joining surfaces to insure the integrity of the splash
resistance seal.
3. Inspect the cables and strain relief mechanisms.
4. Inspect the connectors for damage, faulty strain relief or contamination.

6 DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
INTRODUCTION

This section explains:


• General troubleshooting using built in diagnostic tools
• BIS Monitor System troubleshooting procedure.
• Status messages, causes, and corrective actions

6.1 GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING

The A-2000 BIS Monitor System has three built-in diagnostic features:
• Power-Up
• Automatic
• Manual

These features check the BIS Monitoring System’s operability, status, and also report software
and hardware malfunctions.

IF ANY FAILURES ARE NOTED, SEE STATUS MESSAGES AND


OPERATOR ACTIONS SECTION 6.3

The power-up diagnostics run automatically each time that you turn on the Monitor unit. These
procedures check the software, system memory, speaker, display, serial ports, timer/counters,
BIS Engine, real-time clock, Data Memory and Setup Memory. This level of diagnostic is
described in detail in the monitor’s operating manual.

The automatic diagnostics run continuously in the background while the unit operates. These
procedures check the Digital Signal Converter for the following conditions: interface faults,
disconnect, lead off, and power faults. This level of diagnostic also checks other monitor
functions; please reference this detail in the monitor’s operating manual.

The manual diagnostics are operator initiated using the monitor keys and menu choices. These
procedures check for the proper functioning of the Digital Signal Converter. This level of
diagnostic also can be used to check other monitor functions; please reference this detail in the
monitor’s operating manual.

NOTE:
The manual diagnostics can be run safely while the patient is connected to the
BIS Monitor unit; however, running the diagnostics will temporarily disrupt
monitoring. Do not run DSC self test during electro-cautery as it may
erroneously indicate a failure.

6.2 A-2000 BIS MONITOR SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

The A-2000 System consists of three major components: Monitor, DSC, and PIC/Sensor. By
using this three-step procedure and a component swapping technique, the component at fault
can easily be determined. The steps of this test procedure are:

• Monitor
• DSC recognition and self test
• PIC and Sensor

Following the test procedure is a MESSAGE AND OPERATOR ACTION section that describes
appropriate actions for messages that may occur.

See Section 7 for directions on replacing components and handling components that require
service.

6.2.1 MONITOR Troubleshooting Procedure

Note:
The successful completion of this test will verify the monitor is functioning and all
operator input (keyswitch) and output (display and audio alarm) are OK.

IF ANY FAILURES ARE NOTED, SEE STATUS MESSAGES AND


OPERATOR ACTIONS SECTION 6.3

1. Disconnect DSC from Front of Monitor.


2. Connect power cord to rear of monitor, and attach to AC power source.
3. Press POWER ON switch.
• Verify beep tone as POWER SWITCH is actvated.
• Verify fan (rear case wall) is moving air outward.
• Verify display shows all self-tests complete successfully (approx. 30 seconds).
• Verify that at completion of self tests display shows ‘CONNECT DSC TO FRONT
OF MONITOR’.
• Verify no battery icon in BIS banner border and no E33 ‘OPERATING ON
BATTERY BACKUP’ or E34 ‘BATTERY LOW’ message.

NOTE:
Since the A2000 monitor has a built in battery backup, the monitor will power up
with no AC power applied. This step assures that this part of the test is
performed in AC operation.

IF ANY FAILURES ARE NOTED:


• Verify AC power outlet (wall outlet) is supplying AC Volts of 110vac to 240vac at a
frequency of 50hz to 60hz. Move power cord to known good outlet.
• Verify AC power cord is good. Swap power cord with known good one.
• Verify A2000 fuses are OK. See section 7.2 for fuse removal, replacement
procedure.
• If failure continues after above actions, monitor component will need to be serviced,
see section 7.3

6.2.4 DSC Cable Problem Isolation

Note:
This A-2000 Service Information Manual contains the maintenance and
diagnostic troubleshooting information necessary for qualified technical
personnel to test and replace those parts of the equipment that are replaceable
by the customer. Aspect does not authorize nor provide information to service or
repair the internal electronic components of the DSC or the A-2000 Monitor.

The qualified user may replace the DSC cables by following the procedures in Chapter 7. In
cases of obvious damage, pulled connectors or crushed cables, the need to replace the cables is
known. If cables are suspect, the following may be of aid in determining which cable is defective.

Monitor cable (monitor connector to DSC box) is a 5-conductor cable that handles all
communications to/from the DSC. It uses two twisted pair and a ground for digital data
transmission and for the clock transitions that are used to generate power in the DSC housing.
Therefore, failure in this cable is usually seen as failure to recognize the DSC (E01 “DSC Not
Connected” or E02 “DSC Overcurrent” messages).

Pigtail cable (DSC box to PIC connector) is a 10-lead conductor that brings in the patient’s EEG
signal and also provides information about the sensor connected. If this cable fails, the system
may indicate that the sensor is not connected or is illegal, or the Sensor Check may fail or restart
on its own.

Please note that all of the Pigtail conductors are also continued through the PIC cable to the
sensor. It is important that the PIC cable be eliminated as a potential problem before opening the
DSC to change the pigtail cable. They both can generate the same types of faults!

Procedure: Once a problem is isolated to the DSC, use the following sequence to determine the
most probable cable:

1. With no sensor connected, run DSC Self test (see section 6.2.2):
• If test fails or will not start, or the DSC is not recognized, the Monitor cable is likely
suspect. This failure may also be related to a PCB problem in the DSC in which case the
DSC must be returned to Aspect for Service.
• If test indicates PASS, continue to step 2.

2. Connect Sensor Simulator or Test Simulator. Run Sensor Check (see section 6.2.3):
• If failure is noted, swap PIC with known good PIC cable and run again.
• If failure repeats, the Pigtail cable is likely suspect. This failure may also be related to a
PCB problem in the DSC in which case the DSC must be returned to Aspect for service.

Note:
A continuity test can be used to verify conductor integrity, use diagrams in
Appendix II

INTRODUCTION

This section provides instructions for replacing the PIC, DSC, and the Monitor, and for removing
and replacing parts of the Digital Signal Converter (DSC). If a component needs to be serviced,
please consult sections 7.2 and 7.3 for instructions on packaging and shipping.

The A-2000 BIS Monitoring System is designed to be easily serviced by using the built in
diagnostic routines (see Section 6 of this Manual) and the major component swapping techniques
described below.

7.1 REPLACING MAJOR COMPONENTS

7.1.1 To replace the PIC:

1. Unplug the PIC cable from the patient end of the DSC by grasping the connectors (NOT the
cable!) and firmly pulling the two sections apart. The restraining loop will need to be released
by clipping the nylon tie wrap to release the loop.
2. To attach the replacement PIC cable to the DSC pigtail, align and press PIC and DSC
connectors together firmly. Reconnect the restraining loop by fastening to cable strain relief
with the tie wrap.

Figure 7-1 Placement of PIC Securing Strap on BIS Monitoring System

1. While the PIC is connected to the DSC, place the loop strap over the strain relief as indicated.
2. Insert each cable tie through the hole at the end of the loop and secure the tie firmly by
pulling it through its own securing latch. Cut the excess tie so that the strap is flush to the
latch and no excess material is exposed.
3. Repeat for the other side of the PIC mated cable. If cable has to be removed, do not cut the
loop strap as it is intended to keep the system together. If the loop strap is cut for whatever
reason, please replace as soon as possible. Order number 675-0015.

7.2 FUSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION.

The A-2000 contains two inline fuses (1.25A, 250V, 5x20mm Aspect P/N 430-0006) within the AC
power input module located at the rear of the monitor. To check or replace a fuse, one can
access these fuses as follows:

1. The fuse holder is part of the AC power input module on the rear of the monitor and is located
just above the power cord input connector.
2. Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall socket and from the rear of the monitor.
3. Locate the plastic locking tabs securing the fuse holder in place.
4. Insert the tip of a ball point pen or similar tool, into the slots provided to release the plastic
locking tabs allowing the fuse holder to spring out of its locked position.
5. Remove fuse holder.
6. Check fuses with an ohm meter. If replacement is needed, insert correct fuses (see below)
into fuse holder.
7. To re-install the fuse holder, simply insert the fuse holder and press in with finger until the
plastic locking tabs engage, securing the fuse holder in place.
