1 Introduction

1.6 ESD protection measures

ESD protection measures are designed to prevent electronic components from being
damaged or destroyed by uncontrolled electrostatic discharges.

1.6.1 Causes of electrostatic charges


The most frequent causes of electrostatic charges are friction or the separation of various materials
such as plastics, synthetic fibres, hard rubber or paper, or electron beams in CRT units.
They can also be caused within an object by flexure or pressure – such as the friction of individual
fibres within a piece of fabric.
The resulting electrical voltages may become a hazard when "charged" bodies or components do not
have a conductive connection permitting a discharge (potential equalization).
The resulting charges generally do not have high energy, but nevertheless may have differences in
potential of several thousand volts, resulting in perceptible electric shocks or visible sparks.

Example:
· Shoes with rubber soles:
The friction of walking charges the person wearing the shoes in relation to the floor. A
discharge occurs when the person touches an object.
· Clothing made of synthetic fabrics:
Audible discharge; sparks visible in the dark.

· The formation of electrostatic charges through friction is promoted by dry air.


· This tendency is reduced in high humidity, especially in saturated air.
· The occurrence of electrostatic phenomena is thus especially pronounced in the
winter (northern hemisphere) in centrally heated rooms with low humidity.

1.6.2 Effects of ESD on electronic components


When an electrostatically charged person touches an electronic device, the discharge may take place
via the pins of an IC or a semiconductor component. If a discharge to ground is possible, the
resulting voltage may damage the component.
This would be the case, for example, if the unit has a connection to a protective ground – this
therefore also applies to units which are switched off, but have their AC cables plugged in.
Critical situations may also occur when repairing or testing electronic assemblies if they are placed
on a more or less conductive surface (e.g. table top) and are touched by an electrostatically charged
person. In this case the discharge may also take place via a critical component connection.

1-6 Service Manual, Roche OMNI C, Rev. 1.0, October 2001


1 Introduction

1.6.3 Why is ESD protection so important today?


In the past, current-control semiconductors (TTL, normal transistors, etc.) were most commonly
used.
Today, the principle of voltage control is used almost exclusively in MOS and CMOS components
which are thus highly sensitive to the effects of externally applied voltages.
The voltages occurring in electrostatic discharges (up to several kV!) damage or destroy the
sensitive component inputs.
An additional factor is the shrinking internal dimensions of ICs.
With the decreasing size of the internal conductors, the permissible maximum input voltages are
also becoming lower and the effects of electrostatic discharges thus becoming ever more critical.

1.6.4 How can ESD protection be guaranteed?


A continuous discharge must be ensured when handling electronic assemblies.
This can be accomplished as follows:

· When transporting electronic assemblies, be sure to use ESD protection packaging 1 or other
suitable storage/shipping packaging (i.e. the original packaging material).
· Test and repair electronic assemblies only on tables with ESD mats1 .
· Wear a grounded ESD wrist strap.
· Handle electronic components/assemblies by the edges only. Avoid touching printed circuits or
component pins.
· Do not wear shoes with rubber soles or items of clothing containing synthetic fibres in facilities
in which electronic equipment is serviced.
· If necessary, use a humidifier to ensure optimal humidity (>20% rel.) in the room.
· Take care not to touch assemblies or individual components directly with your hand after
testing.
· When sending electronic components or assemblies in for repairs, always use ESD protection
packaging 1 to prevent further damage that may result in an incorrect interpretation of the cause
of the fault.

1.6.5 Conclusion
Naturally, not all printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies require such careful treatment. An
assembly that features simple plug connectors, for example, is insensitive to electrostatic discharge
and therefore does not need ESD protection packaging.
When in doubt, however, always take ESD precautions!

1
These are materials with a very low, defined conductivity (1012 ohms) which do not accumulate charges with friction and thus
cannot damage components.

3.4 FMS (Fluid Mixing System)

3.4.1 General Information


The OMNI C uses a method which allows the simultaneous calibration of the PCO 2 , pH, Na + , K + ,
Ca ++ and Cl - sensors by using only two solutions (C1and C2).

Principle:

The Mix is produced by the mixing valve V1 (two inputs, one output) in conjunction with the
peristaltic pump. For an optimal mixing process, the synchronous function of pump and the mixing
valve is essential.
The Mix consists of alternating fluid packages from solution C1 and solution C2. Homogenization is
accomplished by small packages of either solution in relation to the distance.

3.4.2 Changing the FMS unit


1. Dismount the rear panel according to section 3.3 Dismounting the rear panel on page 3-3.
2. Pull off the cable connections from the actuator board (see Fig. 3-4).

4 AutoQC module

4 AutoQC module

4.1 General Information

When transporting the OMNI C with the AutoQC module installed, do not use the
AutoQC module to carry the instrument.

The AutoQC module is a unit which, in conjunction with the OMNI C, performs automatic quality
control measurements at times pre-programmed by the user.
The module consists of the ampoule holder for 120 ampoules maximally, and a steel tube which,
after being positioned by motors (in Y-, Y-, and Z-direction), breaks the bottom of the ampoule and
withdraws QC fluid. The aspirated QC fluid is transported to the measuring chamber and then
measured.

The electronics of the AutoQC module are comprised of 3 boards:


· AQC board: main board including micro controller
· YZ-distributor board: contains all connectors for the Y-drive and is responsible for
transferring the signals from the AQC board to the Z-distributor board.
· Z-distributor board: contains all components for the Z-drive (light barrier-Z, connector for
z-drive) and sample sensor.

3 identical DC motors control the unit in all 3 axes. The distance covered and the rotational speed
are measured by an incremental position transducer integrated in the motor.
The absolute position is determined by light barriers. A transmissive photo interrupter is used in all
3 axes. The light barrier for the X-direction is directly on the AQC board.

Sample detection is performed via a light barrier located on the Z-distributor board.

The cover of the AutoQC module is monitored by a hall sensor. When the cover is opened, all
mechanical actions are stopped by the software (except actions in the Component Test).

The ampoule ambient temperature is measured by the temperature sensor and used for correction of
QC measurement values (PO2 and PCO2 only).
The measured value of the temperature sensor can be read under “More - System - Test –
Control sensors – Temperature control”.

Moving the unit into the service position as described in the following may in some
cases only be partly or not at all possible due to defective components. lt should,
however, be performed at any rate to facilitate service work.
If the service positions cannot be approached at all, the vertical and the horizontal
slide can be moved manually, by removing the toothed belt from the carrier pins of the
vertical and/or horizontal slide..

5.13 The FMS principle


The OMNI C uses a method which allows the simultaneous calibration of the PCO 2 , pH, Na + , K + ,
Ca ++ and Cl - sensors by using only two calibration solutions (C1 and C2).
To achieve specific PCO 2 , pH and Electrolyte values in the calibration solution, the two solutions
(and C2) are mixed by a special Fluid Mixing System (FMS) in a certain mixing ratio. The actual
ratio in which the solutions C1 and C2 are aspirated is exactly determined by a conductivity
measurement in the measuring chamber.
The conductivity measurement is calibrated by measuring the conductivity of the pure solutions C1
and C2.
When the actual mixing ratio is known, the PCO 2 , pH and Electrolyte values can be calculated by
known chemical and mathematic formulas.

C1 : C2
2 : 1 = Mix1
1 : 2 = Mix2

First, the FMS tubing is emptied:

Now the determination of the FMS volume can be started:

Following aids are needed:

· 1ml syringe with divisions: smallest unit 10 µl


· Capillary adapter
· Tube 50 mm

Service Manual, Roche OMNI C, Re v. 1.0, October 2001 6-9


6 Service area

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the filled syringe (air bubble free!) to the FMS cross piece by using the tube.
(It is helpful to use a coloured fluid, e.g. Combitrol).

2. Inject the fluid slowly (avoid air bubbles!).


3. Read the volume when reaching the FMS cross piece.
4. Read the volume when the fluid leaves the black sample sensor cover at the measuring chamber
where the tube joins the T-piece between V3 and V5.

5. To be sure that no drops are in front of the fluid, inject until the fluid reaches the tube of V5 and
pull slowly back until the fluid reaches the edge of the sample sensor cover again.
6. The difference between the two readings is the FMS tubing volume (in µl).

6.1.6 Consequence action delay


This software function is located under „Setup – Service area – Service switches“

Designed for well trained service technicians only, this function offers the opportunity to customize
the test routines for servicing and fault finding.
The consequence action delay avoids the execution of consequence actions by the analyzer when
changing between test functions.
This allows e.g. switching the valves, then changing the test function and perform a manually
controlled aspiration via activation of the peristaltic pump.
When this mode is activated, no automatic test preparations are done by the analyzer (e.g. opening
the air valve when measuring the barometer value).

This function should be activated only by well trained service technicians because the
risk of damaging the analyzer by improper handling is very high in this mode!

8.1 System Stops

8.1.1 General Information


During situations in which a proper function of the analyzer is not possible, system stops are
displayed on the screen. The purpose is to display the errors, to remove the cause of the system
stops and to bring the analyzer back to „Ready“.

A stop of all running actions will occur if danger for the user (e.g. by an overflow of the waste
while opening the docking mechanism of the W waste bottle) or for the analyzer exists or a proper
operation of the analyzer is not possible because of technical problems.

If a proper operation is not possible, but the complete control of the functions of the analyzer is
available (e.g. temperature alarm, measuring chamber cover open, flap open, fill level alarm) all
running actions will be finished and Mix 1 will be aspirated into the measuring chamber; the
resulting measuring data will be marked resp. discarded.

Unrecoverable system stops remain on the screen and fulfil an emergency program if possible, so
that the analyzer stays operating (wetting of the electrodes / keeping the tubing free).

It is possible to access the System menu if no automatic actions are running currently (except in the
warm-up period).When changing to the System menu during a System Stop, the System Stop will be
stopped and reactivated when closing the System Menu. If e.g. there is a change from a temperature
System Stop to the System Menu and thereafter the System Menu is closed, the analyzer will show
the temperature System Stop again. If e.g. a system calibration has been started in the System Menu,
it can not be conducted immediately because the System Stop has to be removed first.

After all System Stops have been removed, consequence actions will be executed. There is a
common list of consequences, which impedes double actions. This means that if e.g. „washing“ was
activated several times, it is then performed only once.

Possible consequence actions are:


· Warm-up
· Calibrating the sensors
· Prepare C1
· Prepare C2
· Prepare Pack C3
· Fill the AutoQC wash tube
· Fill the needle reservoir
· Fill the FMS reservoir
· Wash AutoQC
· Wash incl. recalibration
· Conductivity calibration
· 1P O2 calibration (including recalibration!)
· System calibration

8.5 Error sources

8.5.1 Calibration solutions C1 and C2 have flown back


An opening of the docking mechanisms of calibration solutions C1 and C2 can not be detected by
the OMNI C. When opening the docking mechanisms, the calibration solutions flow back into the
bottle inlet, therefore at the next aspiration attempt of the resp. solution ,a large air package is
aspirated, which leads to an error message.
(After regular change of the calibration solutions an auto-preparation cycle is activated
automatically by reading in the barcodes on the bottles.)
While the OMNI C is switched off, also no detection of the C3 docking mechanism is possible!
Prepare the resp. solutions under „More - System – Tools – Fluid actions – Auto
preparation routines“.

8.5.2 Air tube at V2 is blocked by crystallization


Leads to error messages, because no separating air packages can be produced by the FMS.
Check the complete tubing from the open end (see Fig. 8-1, 1) to the beginning of the pipe
(see Fig. 8-1, 2).
Crystals (white areas) at the open end of the tube can be removed by pressing the tube end together
and rolling it between the fingers (see Fig. 8-1, 1).
A blockage by crystals in the tube or pipe can be removed by disconnecting the pipe at the location
according to Fig. 8-1, 2 and flushing with distilled water.

Fig. 8-1 Tubing in the left bottle compartment area

Service Manual, Roche OMNI C, Re v. 1.0, October 2001 8-15


8 Troubleshooting

8.5.3 Leak at the tube under the V1 bar


A leak in this area leads to aspiration problems of the solutions C1 and C2 (aspiration is impossible
or only possible with air bubbles) and is hardly visible, because the tube is hidden by the valve bar
(see Fig. 8-1, 3).
Prepare solutions C1 and C2 „More - System – Tools – Fluid actions – Auto preparation
routines“ and observe the tubing in the right measuring chamber window and at the peristaltic
pump.
The solutions must be visible as homogeneous fluid packages without air bubbles.

8.5.4 Air tube at V9 is blocked by crystallization


Leads to error messages, because no air can be aspirated if the flap is closed resp. no separating air
packages can be produced.
Check the complete tubing from V9 (see Fig. 8-2, 1) to the open end (see Fig. 8-2, 2). Crystals
(white areas) at the open end of the tube can be removed by pressing the tube end together and
rolling it between the fingers. A blockage by crystals in the tube or pipe can be removed by
disconnecting the pipe at the location according to Fig. 8-2, 3 and flushing with distilled water.

Fig. 8-2 Tubing in the right bottle compartment area

8-16 Service Manual, Roche OMNI C, Rev. 1.0, October 2001


8 Troubleshooting

8.5.5 Leaks in the Sample port / needle area


Leaks in this area lead to aspiration problems of the solutions C1 and C2, the zero point solution and
the cleaning solution (aspiration is impossible or only possible with air bubbles). The reference
solution can not be aspirated.

Check:
· the sample port for damage (by glass splinters) and soiling
· the wash plate for pollution
· the needle for bends, damage and soiling
· the needle sealing for damage and soiling

Prepare solutions C1 and C2 under „More - System – Tools – Fluid actions – Auto
preparation routines“ and observe the tubing in the right measuring chamber window and at the
peristaltic pump.
The solutions must be visible as homogeneous fluid packages without air bubbles.
The reference solution must be visible in the tube of the reference as homogeneous fluid package
without air bubbles when filling the reference electrode.

8.5.6 Leaks at the tube or plug of the reference electrode


Leaks in this area lead to aspiration problems of the reference solution (aspiration is impossible or
only possible with air bubbles).
Check the reference tube for damage and the plug for tight fit.
Prepare the reference solution under „More - System – Tools – Fluid actions – Auto
preparation routines“ and observe the tube of the reference electrode. The reference solution
must be visible as homogeneous fluid package without air bubbles.

8.5.7 Leaks at the docking mechanisms


Leaks in this area lead to aspiration problems of the respective solution (aspiration is impossible or
only possible with air bubbles).
Check the docking mechanisms for crystallization and for tight tubing connection. If necessary,
clean the docking mechanisms with a cotton swab moistened with distilled water.

8.5.8 Clots in the sample path


For the removal of visible clots in the sample path proceed as follows:
· Open V6 under „More - System – Test – Valves and Aggregates – Valves“ and pull off
the V6-tube from the T-piece above V6.
· Take out the tube from V6 and hang it over the analyzer edge to the left.
· Open the flap completely.
· Attach a syringe filled with distilled water to the sample port and flush the measuring chamber.
