Notes :
The X/Y system rotation is composed of :
-
- ! A wheel with slides (optical windows) (in the
- previous version 7 slides and in the actual
- version 4 slides) which give the X/Y system
- positioning.
- The previous version with 7 optical
- slides has the screw cylinder bloc in upper
position and the new version with 4 slides
-
earns the screw cylinder bloc in under
-
position.
-
- " An Infra red optical sensor.
-
- # A rotation step by step motor with a gear
- box.
-
-
$ A belt which links the step motor to the X/Y
system.

Notes :
The optical slide positions are described as follows:
-
- ! StandBy position, Sampling probe in the front
- sink cuvette.
-
- " Whole Blood Sampling position
-
- # Predilution (First dilution) position.
-
-
$ Reference (initialisation) position, Sampling
needle on the RBC chamber.

#
$
Notes :
Due to transportation shocks or long period of
-
vibration the belt which links the rotation driving
-
stepper motor to the X/Y system can be released.
-
-
The first points to check in the X/Y positioning
-
calibration are :
-
-
-1- The 2 gears ! which are :
- on the X/Y system on the rotation motor
-
- under the rotation stepper motor
-
They must be tightly screwed.
-
-2- The rotation belt which must be taut
-
enough.
-
For the belt test it is just necessary to touch the
-
-
rotation belt " . It must be straight but not too taut.
If it is too taut the axis of the rotation motor could be
-
destroyed in time.
-
If the belt is released it is confirmed by a dead
-
-
movement # that one can feel by moving the
sampling needle from left to right around the
-
standby position. When the belt is tight enough the
-
dead movement disappears and maintains only the
-
movement of the rotation gear box.
-
To pull the belt it is just necessary to unscrew (2
-
screws) the rotation motor on the back side of the
-
-
front panel, pull a little bit $ to tight on the belt and
finish by fixing the motor with the screws again.

Notes :
In this case the screw cylinder bloc of the optical
- wheel is in underneath the wheel. The
- calibration protocol is the same than previous pages
- for a 7 slots older version optical wheel.
"
Notes :
The up and down system is a part of the X/Y
-
movement which carries the blood sampling needle
-
during the sequential dilution (sampling probe).
-
It is composed of an up/down motor movement
-
-
generator with a belt ! and a reference up position
-
optical sensor".

-
"
Notes :
The X/Y up/down system is detailed as follows :
-
-
-
! An optical switch in upper position. The infrared
barrier sensor is located on the back side of the
-
front fluidic panel. A vertical slide on the front metallic
-
panel allows the plastic optical switch to follow the
-
up/down movement and give the upper position as
-
the reference position. This optical switch is directly
-
fixed to the belt and the whole blood sampling needle
-
axis.
-
-
" An upper position gear which is directly fixed
to the stepper motor # . No gearbox in this case.
-
-
A space has been left around this gear in the front
-
panel to permit the up/down stepper motor to position
-
the calibration.

Notes :
Due to transportation shocks or long periods of
-
vibration the belt which links the Up/Down driving
-
stepper motor to the X/Y system can be released.
-
-
So check :
-
-1- The Upper gear ! fixation.
-
-
-2- The Up/Down belt which must be tight
-
enough.
-
Test the belt just by touching it ". It must be straight
-
but not too taut. If it is too taut the Up/Down movement
-
will be too strong and then the stepper motor will
-
pain and generate immediate Up/Down errors.
-
If the belt is released then it must be tightened again
-
by pulling on the Up/Down stepper motor by means
-
of the two screw which maintains it #. confirm the
-
right calibration by performing a soft Up/Down
-
movement made by hand on the X/Y system $.
-
-
If the Up/Down belt is not taut enough then
-
drops of whole blood can splashed around the
-
area of the blood sampling on the plastic front
-
panel.
-
-
-
-
*
#
$ (
Notes :
Due to possible transportation shocks the calibration
-
of the vertical metallic bars of the sampling needle
-
must be checked.
-
-
Place visually the vertical metallic bars in the same
-
optical line. Check that all the vertical axis are parallel.
-
-
If vertical axis are not parallel as in drawing !,
-
then correct it by hand " by twisting the total
-
vertical axis to obtain all the vertical metallic bars in
-
the same line #.
-
-
If the up/down axis bars are not parallel some
-
Up/Down Errors can occur.

"
Notes :
From time to time (around once a year) it is
-
necessary to oil the X/Y system. For this, it is very
-
important to use only sewing-machine oil. NEVER
-
use SILICON oil or Grease. Only one drop of
-
sewing-machine oil is enough.
-
-
! Clean the 2 vertical axis with a dry piece of cloth
-
(Use a cloth which leaves no cloth dust) to take off
-
the old dirty grease or old dirty oil.
-
-
" Put one drop on the front axis. Put the drop over
-
the hole of the needle carrier which is made in the
-
front vertical axis.
-
-
# Put one drop on the back axis. Put the drop
-
over the hole of the needle carrier which is made
-
for the back vertical axis.
-
-
$ Put one drop on the bottom gear of the up/
-
down belt. Do Not put any oil on the belt.
-
-
) Make some vertical movements to distribute
-
the oil all along both vertical axis and inside the
-
bottom gear of the up/down belt.

Notes :
The rotation movement of the X/Y system is controlled
- by digital data which are a number of steps on the
- stepper rotation motor. An initialisation position is
- defined by a large optical slot in the optical wheel.
- This position is initialized on the RBC chamber when
- the MS9 starts up or when modifications are made
- in the fluidic data. This initialisation movement give
- the distance between the Pdl (predilution position)
and RBC (RBC chamber) on which is positioned the
-
large slot reference position. Here are the number of
-
steps for each movement:

Notes :
The photometer measures the Haemoglobin (Hb)
-
value with the total reduced Hb haemolyzed Blood
-
solution which comes from the first dilution
-
previously analysed and counted in the WBC
-
chamber. For measuring Hb a reference value for
-
Hb (Blank Hb) from the Hemoref® Solution is
-
needed. The optimal value for this Hb reference
-
measuring is around '25'.
-
-
The photometer system for Hb measurement is
-
composed of :
-
-
! A Photometer block with a LED as light source
-
and a photo sensor including a specific filter that
-
acts the sensitive measuring cell.

Hb PHOTOMETER
Principle
Notes :
The photometer measures the Haemoglobin (Hb)
-
value with the total reduced Hb haemolyzed Blood
-
solution which comes from the first dilution
-
previously analysed and counted in the WBC
-
chamber. A reference value for Hb (Blank Hb) from
-
the Hemoref® Solution is needed. The optimal
-
value for this Hb reference measuring is around
-
'25'.
-
Hb br = Hb Blood result
-
Hb bk = Hb reference value
-
Hb 1d = Hb first dilution value
-
Hb br = Hb 1d - Hb bk
-
the measuring principle is a Beer-Lambert
-
photometry integration. This integration is done with
-
a capacity / resistivity system. The Beer-Lambert
-
reaction gives an exponential result of the
-
concentration which linearly integrated by the inverse
-
function a such capacity / resistivity integrator.
-
The main weakness of a photometry sensor is its
-
very high variation in temperature. This is the reason
-
why a reference value is needed. Only the difference
-
in value between Hb 1d and Hb bk is fixed even if
-
the temperature shifts.

Notes :
Here Sound means 'Beep'. When the mother board
-
does not have enough correct hardware to work,
-
it beeps to indicate by the number of Beeps which
-
is depending of the Bios origin.
-
The previous MS9 mother board uses an
-
AMIBIOS® ,
-
The new MS9 industrial embedded mother
-
board uses a BIOS AWARD® ,
-
which gives diverse sound information.
-
Most of the time it means that one must check the
-
following points depending on the number of Beeps
-
of course :
-
- Check if the RAM is slotted correctly
-
- Check that the Video board is slotted correctly
-
- Check that the daughter boards is slotted correctly
-
- Check that the microprocessor is slotted correctly
-
-
If all checks seem to be OK, change the Mother
-
board.

Error Messages
During the power-on self test (POST), the BIOS either sounds a beep code or displays a message
when it detects a correctable error.
Following is a list of POST messages for the ISA BIOS kernel. Specific chipset ports and BIOS
extensions may include additional messages. An error message may be followed by a prompt to
press F1 to continue or press DEL to enter Setup.
Beep
Currently the only beep code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize
the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long
beep followed by two short beeps. Any other beeps are probably a RAM problem.
CPU at nnnn
Displays the running speed of the CPU.
Memory Test :
This message displays during a full memory test, counting down the memory areas being tested.
WINDOW UTILITY
Auto IDE
Scans and detects the hard disk drive automatically. If it is detected you must
see Type = User. Then press ENTER (Entrée)
Exit BIOS with F10 and then press Y (Yes) and save new values press ENTER
(Entrée)
Notes :
With a Floppy Disk drive problem proceed as follows:
-
-
1- Check Power Connectors
-
2- Check Flat cable
-
3- Check Bios setup
-
If all is OK then :
-
- Replace Unit
-
-
-
-
With a Hard Disk drive problem proceed as follows:
-
-
1- Check Power Connectors
-
2- Check Flat cable
-
3- Check Bios setup
-
4- Run Option '2' from MS9's Diags Floppy Disk
-
(Norton Disk Doctor).
-
- If Diags is NOT OK : replace HD unit
-
- If Diags is OK : Proceed a complete
-
MS9's HD Installation as described next page.
-
-
-1- Install new hard disk unit. Be careful to plug correctly the 40 wires flat cable and the
power connector. Remember : Flat cable pin 1 is always beneath the hard disk power
connector.
-2- Configure the MS9 BIOS for the new HD : Hit Suppr key at power ON before booting.
* With AMI BIOS :
Choose AUTO DETECT HD (AUTO IDE) option. For HD larger than 512 MB verify that
option LBA is enabled (never choose LARGE option). If there is an AUTO (Automatic) op-
tion please choose it.
* With AWARD BIOS :
Choose STANDARD CMOS SETUP.
Enter AUTO for TYPE and MODE of the primary master Hard disk.
-3- Insert the MS9 Hard Disk Install floppy disk and switch on the MS9 to start it from
floppy disk.
-4- If some partitions exist, choose option 2 and delete all partitions :
First delete primary partition then extended partition.
-5- Choose option 1 : Create DOS primary partition. Answer Y(es) for using all cylinders for
DOS. After a few seconds, software test all HD blocks. At the end don’t enter disk label, hit
only Entrée.
-7- Don’t remove the floppy disk and hit Échap. At this time MS9 does a new booting from
floppy disk. When the FDISK menu is displayed hit again Échap.
-9- After DOS and utilities installation, remove the Hard Disk Install floppy disk.
Then insert the MS9 software floppy disk and boot MS9 (switch power off then on or
hit simultaneously Ctrl Alt Suppr) to install the main software (please follow INSTALL
MS9 SOFTWARE VERSION 3.xx instructions).
Notes :
When loading the MS9 software, the CK1 and/or
-
FK1 library can not be loaded correctly with the
-
following warning message on the 24th line of the
-
screen:
-
-
- FK1 Lib NOT LOADED !
-
- CK1 Lib NOT LOADED !
-
-
That comes from the fact that the daughter
-
boards FK1 (Fluidic board) &/or CK1 (acquisition
-
board) can be unslotted with a bad 'bus
-
communication' with the Mother board.
-
-
Just switch off the MS9 and re-slot the above
-
mentioned daughter boards (FK1 and CK1) correctly.
-
Switch on the MS9 again and check correct library
-
loading.
-
If it still warns the error then replace the FK1
-
and/or CK1 board (depending on the error code
-
message).
-
-
Notes :
When starting the MS9 software at the boot
-
sequence, different warning messages as detailed
-
on the next page can occur.
-
- For 'Bad Access Memory' causes error :
-
Reinstall the complete last version MS9 software &/
-
or replace the FK1 &/or replace the Mother Board.
-
- For 'Hardware problem' causes error :
-
Reinstall the complete last version MS9 software &/
-
or replace the FK1 &/or replace the Mother Board.
-
- For 'Bad MS-Card' causes error :
-
Check the letter on the MS-Card (A to I) and compare
-
with the program version letter (Esc, S, C, I) and
-
send back the MS-Cards to MS Labs for control.
-
- For 'Wrong software or Lib' causes errors :
-
Reinstall the complete last MS9 software version
-
again.
-
- For 'Bad Hard disk FAT' causes errors :
-
Do a complete Hard disk formatting process and do
-
a complete reinstallation of the software. For the
-
floppy FAT error change for a brand new floppy disk
-
software.
-
- For 'Virus internal error' causes error :
Use the virus control software supplied by MS Labs
with all other disk tools.
Notes :
When initializing the fluidic mechanical part, different
-
warning messages can occur. These messages
-
belong to each part of the dilutor stepper motor which
-
will be initialized as :
-
- Syringe stepper motor error,
-
- Up/Down stepper motor error,
-
- Rotation stepper motor error,
-
- Optical wheel control error,
-
Each of these errors occur when the optical or
-
mechanical stepper motor reference switch has not
-
been reached in time or in the step pre-programed
-
acceptable range.
