4.2. Fluid Pack

4.2.1. Standard A

Standard A, STD A, is drawn to the electrode module by vacuum provided by the

peristaltic pump. When STD A is to be aspirated into the electrode module, solenoid
valve A is opened and solenoid valves B, C, V and R are closed. STD A is drawn from
the Fluid Pack, to the fill port, through the sample probe up to the sample sensor. When
the sample sensor detects fluid, solenoid valve V is opened and solenoid valve A is
closed as the peristaltic pump continues to pump STD A into the electrode module. At the
trailing edge of the STD A is air. When the sample sensor detects air, the peristaltic pump
stops. Standard A should fill the electrode module. During the time STD A is aspirated
into the electrode module, the reference housing is pressurized due to the peristaltic pump
providing pressure to the reference solution line and solenoid valve R being closed. A
small amount of reference solution is forced out through the reference junction to provide
contact to the sample.

4.2.2. Standard B and C

The process for STD B and STD C is identical to that of STD A with the exception of the
operation of solenoid valves B and C. These solenoid valves are operated in reverse order
of STD A aspiration.

4.2.3. Reference Solution

The reference solution is circulated back into the fluid pack. The reference housing has
an in and an out port. It is filled automatically using the second winding of the peristaltic
pump and solenoid valve R. The reference solution connector allows for the reference
housing tubing to be plugged into the reference solution circuit. As the peristaltic pump
aspirates reference solution, solenoid valve R is opened to allow excess solution to be
pumped into the reference return line of the Fluid Pack.

4.2.4. Waste Liquids

Calibration standards and sample waste are all pumped out of the left side of the
electrode module (green-banded tubing) through the peristaltic pump to the waste line
and waste bag of the Fluid Pack. An internal one-way valve is incorporated into the waste
bag to prevent waste products from leaking out of the Fluid Pack.

The pinch valve tubing set is supplied as a pre-cut tubing harness with the fluidic
interconnections preassembled. Replacement of the tube set should be performed
annually. For removal of the tubing, first remove the Fluid Pack from the reagent
compartment. This will allow the removal of the white TPR block which is the
connection between the Fluid Pack and the tubing. Next, follow the procedure outlined in
Section 4.1.6 to remove the indicator cap and crimp pin from each solenoid valve to
enable fluidic tubing to be easily removed at each solenoid. Pull the two pump windings
of the peristaltic pump tube set off the pump rotor and pull out the white reference
solution tube connector. Remove the white TPR reference solution block by grasping the
front of the block and pulling it out of the analyzer. Disconnect the green tagged tube

Microprocessor

The LM 3S5B91 Microprocessor represented as W6, can be located beneath the metal
shielding. This processor is responsible for controlling most of the peripherals, including:
ISE signal processing, printing, displaying, data storage, serial communication and USB
interfacing.

CPU Shielding

Four additional voltage regulator circuits are mounted inside the CPU board, -5VDC;
+5VDC; 3.3VDC and 24/12VDC (see block diagram). SMPS technology used to
generate these voltages requires a shield to protect the instrument from the 400 kHz and
the harmonics generated internally.

Fluid Pack Sensor

CorLYTE analyzer uses fluid packs for calibration, sample analysis, and waste storage.
To ensure that the fluid pack is present, an optical reflective sensor is used. The optical
sensor has an LED with a photo-detector. The photo-detector signal is used to determine
presence of fluid pack.

Valve Drivers

All the solenoids for the valves A; B; C; V and R are controlled from power transistors
Q1 to Q5. To open a solenoid, a pulse of voltage 22-24 VDC is applied for 0.5 seconds.
Then the voltage drops to 12.5 VDC to hold the solenoid. This feature is applied to
conserve energy and prevent overheating the valves.

Pump Motor Driver

The Pump driver circuit IC U7 provides the drive and control for the peristaltic pump.
The processor through commands: /PUMPEN and PUMPSTEP drive the IC U7 to
provide necessary control for the peristaltic pump stepper motor in the terminals PHASE
A; PHASE B; PHASE C and PHASE D.

Input Amplifiers

IC U27; U28; and U29 Provide high to low input impendence matching for each
electrode (Na; K; Cl; Ca; and Li) input. IC U25; U25; and U26 provide the offset values
and necessary gain for each electrode.

4.3.2. Valve Board E-732

The valve board contains the LED array used to illuminate the measuring chamber and
the interconnectors used for all solenoids, the peristaltic pump and the door sensor. A
ribbon cable from the CPU Board supplies the electrical connection for each signal
through connector JP5.

4.3.3. Display Board E-731

The graphic display module TH16032A has a 160x32 resolution. The backlight is
adjustable and allows for changing the contrast. In the same board are all connection for
YES and NO buttons as well sample sensor and temperature sensor. The connection of
the display board with CPU board is done through ribbon cable connected to JP4 in the
CPU board. The new display board is equipped with two potentiometers for controlling
the backlight and the contrast in the display.

Note: Graphics Display is not compatible as a direct replacement with previous

generation.

Shielding and Grounding in CorLYTE

Beside the shield for eliminating the internal noise from the power supply, the entire
CorLYTE is equipped with a protective shield to prevent the influence of magnetic fields,
and other noise sources in the laboratory. The internal protective shield creates a
“Faraday Cage” that protects instrument measurements from outside noise. This shield
is also grounded with a grounding wire in the power receptacle in the power switch input.

5.2.Error Messages and Troubleshooting

STATUS: INVALID CALIBRATION

This message is only displayed when a calibration has been interrupted by pressing NO,
opening the sample door, or none of the electrodes are calibrated. Perform a calibration to
return to the H-READY Mode.

STD A NOT FOUND

This message is displayed when the sample sensor is unable to properly detect the STD A
solution in a programmed time period. As the analyzer draws a sample of STD A, the
leading edge of the solution is detected by the sample sensor. The sample sensor must
also detect a continuous flow of STD A Solution into the sample chamber, lasting several
seconds, without encountering air bubbles. After several seconds, the trailing edge of the
STD A sample is sensed, the peristaltic pump stops and measurement occurs.

Possible causes and remedies:

• Check for air leaks preventing the Standard from being drawn into the chamber.
Ensure that all O-rings are in place. There must be a continuous draw of standard
solution, free of air bubbles. Check solenoid V for proper sealing of the vent line.
Check fill port to ensure the absence of air leaks.
• Check for clots or crystals formed in the STD A tubing or electrode chamber.
• Ensure that the sample sensor is plugged in securely and perform Check Sample
Sensor to ensure sensor is operating correctly. Clean, adjust or replace sample sensor
to correct sample sensor operation.
• Replace peristaltic pump tube set to ensure proper sample aspiration.
• Check the fluid remaining in the Fluid Pack. If less than 5% remains, replace the
Fluid Pack.
• Prime system; look for fluid flow through system.

STD B NOT FOUND

STD C NOT FOUND

The system for drawing STD B or C is like that of STD A. If STD A is drawn properly
and STD B or C is not detected, check STD B tubing for crystallization. Perform checks
for STD A detection problems to correct. During the calibration sequence, STD B or C is
drawn into the measuring chamber prior to STD A, therefore check if STD A calibrant
can be properly detected to isolate possible fluidic faults. If neither STD A, B nor C are
detected check for air leaks or blockages within the fluidic path.

ECO 7116 SOP05-5057F Rev. 01 Effective Date: 06/16/14 Page 52 of 74

 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
INSPECT SAMPLE SENSOR

The sample sensor must provide a reading of 80 - 120 when air is detected.
Perform Check Sample Sensor to observe sample sensor response. When clear fluid (e.g.
water) is aspirated, the sample sensor display must indicate an increase of at least 40
units. For blood samples (not transparent), the reading should decrease by at least 40
units. The sample sensor is calibrated with air during each calibration.

Possible causes and remedies:

• Clean sample sensor using CLEANING procedure.
• Check for correct drying of measuring chamber during the wash cycle.
• Replace peristaltic pump tube set.
• Check and adjust sample sensor to correct adjustment. This adjustment can be
accessed through the rear cover vent slot and is located at the top center on the circuit
card.
• Replace sample sensor assembly.

INSPECT REFERENCE HOUSING

The reference electrode is pressurized by injecting STD A while R valve is closed. The
back pressure formed in the reference housing causes the STD A solution to flow back
toward the sample sensor. When the STD A solution is detected by the sample sensor, the
R valve is opened to release the pressure. If the sample sensor does not detect STD A as
it moves back, INSPECT REFERENCE HOUSING will be displayed.

Possible causes and remedies:

• Check for clogged reference housing and clean per monthly maintenance procedures.
• Check and ensure that reference tubing is securely connected at the tubing connector.
• Check for proper filling of the reference housing and ensure that reference solution
reagent level allows complete filling of the reference housing.
• Check for bubble-free aspiration of STD A.
• Check O-Rings to ensure they are present in all electrodes and sample sensor
• Prime CorLYTE and repeat calibration

Possible causes and remedies:

• Check whether the sample sensor is plugged in and perform CHECK SAMPLE
SENSOR to verify that it operates correctly.
• Check sample draw and look for clots or leaks in the sampling system.

CLEANING SOLUTION NOT FOUND

When the cleaning cycle has been initiated, the analyzer checks for proper aspiration of
the cleaning solution using the sample sensor. If solution is not detected in the proper
time, above error message will be displayed.

Possible causes and remedies:

• Ensure that a sufficient volume of cleaning solution is presented for aspiration and no air
bubbles are present as solution is aspirated.

• Check to ensure that the solution is being aspirated through the sampling mechanism
correctly. The sample path must be free of leaks or clots.

• Verify that sample sensor is properly plugged in and perform the CHECK SAMPLE
SENSOR to verify the correct operation of the sample sensor.

• Check pump tubing and replace as necessary to ensure a correct pump rate.

CONDITIONER NOT FOUND

When the conditioning cycle has been initiated, the analyzer checks for proper aspiration
of the conditioning solution using the sample sensor. If the solution is not detected in the
proper time, this error message will be displayed.

Possible causes and remedies:

• Ensure that a sufficient volume of conditioning solution is presented for aspiration and no air
bubbles are present as solution is aspirated.

• Check to ensure that the solution is being properly aspirated through the sampling
mechanism. The sample path must be free of leaks or clots.

• Verify that sample sensor is correctly plugged in and perform the CHECK SAMPLE SENSOR
to verify its proper operation.

VALVE OVERTEMP! INSPECT VALVES will be displayed. Each solenoid
incorporates a thermo-fuse, which will reset automatically.

Possible causes and remedies:

• Turn power off for at least one hour.

• Check fuse F3 (24V).

• Check whether room temperature is within specified limits (15°C to 32°C / 60°F to 90°F).

• Ensure all the pinch valves are connected properly.

6. Adjustments
The CorLYTE Electrolyte Analyzer has been designed to require minimal electronic
adjustment. It is recommended to adjust the sample sensor circuit after changing the
sample sensor during routine troubleshooting or during annual maintenance procedures.
The temperature adjustment is active and requires the temperature adjustment check plug
for correct calibration of the temperature circuit.

6.1. Sample Sensor Adjustment

Press F7 in the keyboard to access SERVICE MENU and here you need to access
SAMPLE SENSOR CHECK. By confirming, instruments will remove solutions from
sampling path. On the top right corner of the screen, a number between the ranges of 0 to
240 is shown. Sample sensor potentiometer (R189) is located on the top of the CPU
board (See Fig. 6-1).

Adjust R189 until the value 100 is reached in the display. After this adjustment, open
sample door, press YES or ENTER, and introduce water in the sample probe. When
liquid arrives in the sample sensor, the number on the screen will change. Displayed
values must be 50 points or higher that the adjusted value (80-120 range).

Note: R189 can be accessed through the rear cover vent slots.

6.2. Temperature Adjustment

Press F7 in the keyboard to access SERVICE MENU. Scroll down SERIVCE MENU
and select CHECK AMPLIFIER. If electrodes are installed, the instrument will display
the amplifier mV status. If electrodes are not installed, the instrument will display 4095
as its status.

By pressing NO in the Touch Pad or NEXT in the keyboard twice, the instrument will
show temperature screen in mV and in C degree. (Upper row displays mV values and
bottom row displays temperature in degrees Celsius.

Dye to the closed door, the instrument in the measuring chamber has a temperature
higher than room temperature.

Please insert a probe of a calibrated thermometer, in the top of the sample sensor. Adjust
R190 (located in the top right corner of the CPU board) to match values of the
thermometer reading with displayed values in the second row in the screen (See Fig. 6-2).

6.3.Display, Contrast and Backlight Adjustment

The new display board E-731 is equipped with contrast and backlight adjustment possibilities.
This adjustment is done in the factory and is not in normal procedure to adjust or readjust in the
field.

Fig. 6-3 shows the location of these potentiometers in the display board. R1 is for the contrast
and R2 is for backlight.

Note: R1 and R2 potentiometers are NOT accessible through the rear cover. Any adjustment needs
to be done with the back cover open.
