Chapter 1 Outline of the Analyzer AE-4020 SERVICE MANUAL

Measurement is done by the Single or Dual Wavelength Reflectance Method.

Measurement of Test Strips


Dip a Test Strip into urine sample for 2 seconds. Set the Test Strip on the Test Strip Tray. The
Test Strip is carried by the Carrying Arm and excess urine is removed by the Excess Urine Suction
Pad. The handling function catches and carries the Test Strip to the Optical Block for
measurement. In 60 seconds, reflectance will be measured and the Test Strip is disposed into the
Waste Box.

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

However, the calculation of BLD is made for a single


Meas. Meas. Ref.
wavelength using the following formula:
item wavelength wavelength
R = Tm / Cm (nm) (nm)

GLU 635 760


Reflectance R obtained in the formula is referred to
the programmed calibration curve, and is output as the PRO 635 760
measurement result. BIL 565 760
URO 565 760
The measurement items and their reference wavelengths
are shown at right. PH 635 760
S.G. 635 760
Finally, in order to compensate for temperature, the
BLD 635 −
reflectance R is corrected using the following formula:
KET 565 760
2 2
Rt = R + A ( T - 27 ) ・ R ・ (1-R) NIT 565 760
LEU 565 760
Rt: Reflectance after correction
A: Correction coefficient ALB 565 760
T: Measurement temperature CRE 635 760

2-7 Change in analytical curve

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.)

3. RS-232C Two-Way Communication Protocol


If the AE-4020 standard format is selected in an external output, the two-way communication is made
between the device and PC. The two-way communication described herein refers to the action that a
receiver returns a control code to a sender to synchronize mutually when the sender has made an
output (a control code or text data).

4. Ethernet
The Ethernet communication in our device is made using the Ethernet microcomputer.

4-1. Communication Setting


The Ethernet communication is made through TCP/IP. Set the device in a server mode and the PC in a client
mode.
Set the IP address, subnet address, gateway and DHCP in the service mode. Moreover, in addition to the IP
address, a port number is required when communicating through the TCP/IP protocol. The port number is
fixed to “28000”.

4-2. Ethernet Communication Frame Structure


4-2-1. Frame Structure
Frame structure of the Ethernet communication is a communication text only. The frame structure of the
Ethernet communication is different from that of the RS-232C communication in the following points.
y <STX> and <ETB/ETX> are not added.
y A frame number is not added.
y A checksum is not added.
y <CR><LF> is not added to the end of frame.
For the Ethernet communication, a communication text is divided into some packets in a lower level
communication when it is sent and/or received and any information on the first/last packet or packet number is
added automatically as packet information. Therefore, the communication text does not require <STX>,
<ETB/ETX> and frame number. Also, a checksum is unnecessary because it is added automatically.

This specification describes a higher level communication between the device with the Ethernet
microcomputer and the PC.

App.1-13
Appendix.1 AE-4020 SERVICE MANUAL

5. Ethernet Two-Way Communication Protocol


The Ethernet communication is performed using the control codes <SOH> and <EOT>.
<ACK>/<NAK> does not mean a correct/wrong response of message (checksum) of the RS-232C
communication. In the Ethernet communication, <ACK>/<NAK> refers to “request to accept”/”request
to reject” for a record that the PC receives from the device.

5-1. Communication Control Codes


In the Ethernet communication, a receiver transmits a response code against a request from a sender. The
response is made at every record. If the sender receives “request to reject” response, it stops sending a
message.

Code Hexadecimal Description


Number
SOH 01H Beginning of message
EOT 04H End of message
ACK 06H Request to accept
NAK 15H Request to reject

5-2. Transfer
(1) Record Transmission by Device
y If the device receives anything other than <ACK> after transmitting a record, the device performs the
same process as receiving <NAK>.
y The device terminates the transmission when it has received <ACK> after transmitting an end record.
Otherwise, the device transmits the next record.

6-1-2 Maximum Frame Length


The maximum frame length is 247 bytes (including STX, ETB or ETX, checksum, CR and LF). The
communication data section is a maximum of 240 bytes (247 – 7 bytes). If the data length is more than 240
bytes, the frame must be divided for the transmission.

6-1-3 Frame Code

Code Hexadecimal Description


Number
STX 02H The beginning of text (frame).
FN 30H to 37H Frame number.
‘0’ to ’7’ The number begins with 1 and increases by 1.
When the number has reached 7, it returns to 0.
Data to be Communication text: Refer to “6-4. Record
sent Format”.
ETB 17H The end of transmission block.
ETX 03H The end of text (frame).
CSH Checksum, high order.
Note 1)
CSL Checksum, low order.
CR 0DH Carriage return.
LF 0AH Line feed.
<Example> An appropriate value (AB) is specified to a checksum. For how to calculate the checksum, refer
to Note 1) stated below.

Note 1) Calculation of checksum

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”.

6-2. Ethernet
Unlike RS-232C, the frame does not contain STX, FN, ETX and checksum. For the details of data structure,

6-3. Communication Data Structure


A data to be sent and/or received consists of several records of hierarchical structure as shown below.

Result record 2
Result record 3
:

Message end record

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.

7-3. Ticket-Printer-Compatible Format


The data configuration is the same as that of the AX-4280-compatible format. However, “AJ-4270” is output
because the ticket printer recognizes the device name.

[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.

* 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).
