Chapter 1 Outline of the Analyzer AE-4020 SERVICE MANUAL
In the Optical Block, two different ranges of wavelength from the LED are irradiated on the reacted
parts of the Test Strip and the color-tone-compensated section. At that time, the combination of the
wavelengths is different for each measurement item, as shown in the table below.
Light irradiated to the color-tone-compensation section is adjusted for interfering factors such as
amount of reflected light and color of sample.
From the amount of reflected light measured in the Optical Block, the reflectance is calculated
using the following formula:
R = Tm ・ Cs / Ts ・ Cm
R: Reflectance
Tm: Reflective light amount with the meas. wavelength
Ts: Reflective light amount with the ref. wavelength
Cm:Reflective light amount at the color-tone-compensated section with the meas. wavelength
Cs: Reflective light amount at the color-tone-compensated section with the ref. wavelength

For selecting method of analytical curve, refer to "Select analytical curve" described later in this document.
Item name, semiquantitative symbol and concentration are reflected upon printing and external output. The unit
can use the following external output formats: AE-4020, AX-4280 (SA-4250 compatible), ticket printer
(AJ-4270), AM-4290 and MA-4240.
Note that AJ-4270 is not included in format selection options because it may be considered equivalent of AX-4280
format when used with S.G. external output position setting.
As an independent device, the analyzer accepts manual change of rank threshold and abnormal mark ranks except
for relative density (threshold in ROM for China cannot be changed). However, printing order of items,
transmission order of items, semiquantitative symbol of item, concentration, and detailed information on
color tone cannot be changed by the analyzer itself.
When it is necessary to change these items, connect external output terminal of the analyzer to RS-232C terminal
of the PC through a cross cable and use "Analytical curve input program" on the PC. (This feature cannot be
used when ROM for China is installed.)

(CAUTION): When using this feature to modify the standard analytical curve before starting measurement,
print the changed items (test strip information, test strip item information) by using "Print
parameter" option. Save the printed document. This is to restore the modified analytical curve
in case the test strip information and test strip item information are initialized.
During reprinting and retransmission, backed up data will result in changed test strip
information and test strip item information when output. (Color tone results are not irrelevant.)
When process finished with "Not save to EEPROM", do not use other setting functions.
If "Aution Net" is selected later on the item No. input screen, test strip information, test strip
item information, color tone information and system parameters will be read from EEPROM. If
"Not save to EEPROM" was chosen at the end of the preceding process, undesired information

1. Overview
This section describes the details of the specifications about external output of AE-4020, especially
data format and RS-232C two-way communication protocol and Ethernet
AE-4020 external output can make an output in a format in compliance with ASTM-1394. This output
in the AE-4020 standard format is made in the two-way communication between the device and PC.
Moreover, AE-4020 is compatible with a conventional device and it can output a data in
AX-4280-compatible format, AM-4290-compatible format (supports AUTION Sticks only) and
MA-4240-compatible format. The output in these compatible format is made in a conventional
unidirectional communication.
(Note) The details of this specification are subject to change or revision according to the version upgrade of ROM
(built-in software) of AE-4020.

STX FN or CSH CSL CR LF
(A maximum of 24
ETX
bytes)
Add up everything after STX including EXT (or ETB), divide the result of addition by 256 and then express
the remainder in a two-digit hexadecimal number. Checksum is the first character (CSH) and the second
character (CSL) of the hexadecimal number.
[Example] Add up everything to ETX after STX. Assuming that the result of addition is 1000, “E” (45H)
and “8” (38H) are obtained as CSH and CSL, respectively, from “1000 mod 256 = 232 = E8H”.

data
Each record consists of several fields. The content of the record is defined by a record type. The number of
fields in a record is fixed at every record type. Any data in a field is variable (the smallest size is 0 by default).
Every field is delimited by a field delimiter. A blank field is also delimited by a field delimiter, so we can see
the field is blank. (The last field may not be delimited by a field delimiter.)
(Note 1) A result record is appended per measurement item, therefore, several result records are appended to
one measurement result. The number of result records varies depending on test strip.

7. AX-4280-Compatible Format
7-1. Compatibility with SA-4250, AX-4280 and AJ-4270 Standard Format
AX-4280-compatible format has some compatibility with the SA-4250 and AX-4280 standard formats, but it is
slightly different from them. For example, because there is no rack number nor port number in AJ-4270 and
AE-4020 and these are not equipped with an independent specific gravity/turbidity measurement unit, AJ-4270
and AE-4020 do not output the concrete value for those items (a blank value or “–” is output). In measurement
with the test strip AUTION Sticks, the item “S. G.” can be measured when a specific test strip (10EA, 9EA) is
used. For the SA-4250 and AX-4280 formats, the measurement result of specific gravity meter is output in the
specific gravity area of the fourth block. On the other hand, for the AX-4280-compatible format, “S. G.” is
output as the measurement result of the item (in either the second or third block), otherwise the measurement
result of specific gravity meter is output in the specific gravity area of the fourth block. You can select any of
these two types of output.
The table below shows the major differences between the SA-4250 format and the AX-4280-compatible
format.

*Note The AM-4290 format supports the conventional test strip (10EA, 9EA, 8EA, 7EA, 6EA,
5EA and 4EA) only.
* If 10PA is measured in this format, a data of CRE is not output because the output item is
fixed.
* If 2AC is measured, the measurement result becomes blank because there is no applicable
item.
The table below shows whether a data is enabled or disabled when a measurement error occurs.

5.2 Adjustment
[1] [Check before adjustment] Verify that the window plate and automatic start sensor are free from
stain and flaw.
[2] Move the introduction lever to the introduction position (to the depth: Reverse mode 400 →
ENTER → 2).
[3] Position the test strip No.8 for adjustment (N8 dull attached: see figure below) at the midpoint of
automatic start detection window.
(with ND paper facing down (detection window))
[4] Turn VR07 on the driver print circuit board fully CCW.
[5] Slowly turn VR07 CW until D04 (red LED) turns on.
* CAUTION [1]: Stop turning VR07 CW once the LED turns on. Higher sensitivity causes sensor
error: LED is kept lit.
* CAUTION [2]: Do not touch test strips N8, N5 and N3 with bare hand. ND surface must be free from
dust and flaw: if contaminated or degraded, replace with new one. Or replace
periodically, at least every 6 months. Store test strips at room temperature in
lightproof condition.
Detection window
5-3. Verification 1
[1] Hold the introduction lever at introduction position during the step below.
[2] Wile sliding the test strip N5 for adjustment (with dull N5 attached) from the front of detection
window to the depth of the window, verify that the automatic start sensor displays "0: not detected"
on the screen.
* As noted before, ND paper attached surface is facing detection surface (detection window side).

[2] Leave the screen display as it is. Position the test strip N3 for adjustment (ND paper: dull N3
attached) 2-3 mm from the front of detection window.
* As noted before, ND paper attached surface is facing detection window.
[3] Put your hand over the detection window until "1: detected" is displayed on the screen.
[4] Put back the hand. Display "1: detected" will change to "0: not detected"
[5] Move the test strip N3 for adjustment (ND paper: dull N3 attached) to a position 2-3 mm from the
rear of detection window; and repeat steps [2] and [3] above. Verify "0: not detected" message.
5-5. Verification 3
[1] Place a white base film (test strip for adjustment N8, N5 or N3 with ND attached surface facing
upward) at a position approx. 5 mm from the front. Move the white base film slowly backward
while observing the screen for the message generated by automatic start sensor. When the message
changes from "0: not detected" to "1: detected", verify that the distance is within 1.5 mm from the
end of detection window.
[2] In the same condition as for the above step, move the base film from a position 5 mm behind the
rear slowly toward front. When the message changes from "0: not detected" to "1: detected", verify
that distance is within 1.5 mm from the end of detection window.
z Test strip for adjustment (N8, N5, N3) ND8 (dull ND8 attached)
* CAUTION: Excessively increased sensitivity of automatic start detection will keep "ON" state during
measurement, and may generate E008 automatic start sensor error. After increasing the
sensitivity of automatic start sensor, be sure to perform verification 1 (ND5) and
verification 2 (ND3).
[Reference] Reflectance (760 nm) of test strips for adjustment measured on AE-4020
