4. Debugging of the instrument


The debugging of HTI-TS4000 coagulation analyzer mainly include: 10 KHz
basic pulse adjustment, the driving force adjustment of the testing winding,
the adjustment of the input and output signal and the zero signals. All the
debugging should be done by putting the instrument on the horizontal desk.

The parameters of the instrument have been adjusted to the best


status, please do not adjust the potentiometer on the circuitry board
and the parameter of the “parameter setting” on the menu, otherwise
it will affect the test result.

4.1 The debug and related preparation:


⑴ Debugging preparation: Put the instrument on the horizontal desk, the
unused empty cuvette, and pour 200μl purified water and the magnetic ball
into the cuvette.
⑵ Debug: Multimeter,oscillograph and the screwdriver.

4.2 The calibration of the basic pulse:


Test the main controlling board U108-③ by using oscillograph (the set of
oscillograph: 2V/DIV,25ms/DIV). Adjust the potentiometer VR109 and make
the output wave be 10KHz/3.8V rectangle wave (as shown on Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1 10KHz basic pulse


4.3 Adjustment the driving force of the testing winding
Put the cuvette with magnetic ball on the testing position, turn on the

11
《HTI-TS4000 Service Manual》 MD-Pacific Technology Corporation

instrument, and test the voltage of the center of the potentiometer VR301 on
the Power Board by multimeter to 12.0V. As the driving power of each winding
is different, the driving power is also different, and the test will be finished by
observing the moving status of the magnetic ball in the cuvette, and adjust the
potentiometer VR301 and make the ball get to the two ends and not touch the
wall of the cuvette.
4.4 The adjustment of zero signals
HTI-TS4000 is a four-channel coagulation analyzer, each channel has its
independent signal channel, so it is necessary to adjust each channel’s
signals.
Take the cuvette out of the testing position, observe U104-⑧ by oscillograph
(oscillograph setting: 1V/DIV,100ms/DIV), rotate the potentiometer VR102
at the same time. The result of wave shape is as shown on the Figure 4-2.
This is the zero signal of channel-1. Refer to this method, Observe U105-⑧
and rotate the potentiometer VR104 to finish the channel-2’s zero signal
adjustment. Observe U106-⑧ and rotate the potentiometer VR106 to finish
the channel-3’s zero signal adjustment. Observe U107-⑧ and rotate the
potentiometer VR108 to finish the channel-4’s zero signal adjustment.

Figure 4-2 zero signal wave shape

4.5 The adjustment of the Input signal


The signal getting from the winding is very week, so it is needed to be
amplified. LM348 is the amplifier. The equipment has four amplifiers
(U104,U105,U106,U107) to amplify four channel’s signals on the Main Control
Board. Each amplifier controls one channel signal. Inappropriate input

12
《HTI-TS4000 Service Manual》 MD-Pacific Technology Corporation

level of the signal will directly result in the low range or the noise interference
or self-oscillation of the output, so you should adjust the input scope of the
signal to a suitable level.
Observe U104-⑥ by oscillograph (oscillograph setting: 1V/DIV,5ms/DIV) and
rotate the potentiometer VR101 clockwise to make the signal self-oscillation
(as shown on the figure 4-3), then rotate the VR101 anticlockwise to make the
self-oscillation disappearance (as shown on the figure 4-4). This is the
natural state of the amplifier of channel-1. Refer to this method observe
U105-⑥ and rotate the VR103 to finish the channel-2’s amplifier adjustment,
observe U106-⑥ and rotate the VR105 to finish the channel-3’s amplifier
adjustment, observe U107-⑥ and rotate the VR107 to finish the channel-4’s
amplifier adjustment,.

《HTI-TS4000 Service Manual》 MD-Pacific Technology Corporation

4.6 The adjustment of the Output signal


Take the cuvette out of the testing position, observe U104-⑧ by oscillograph
(oscillograph setting: 1V/DIV , 100ms/DIV), and rotate the potentiometer
VR102, adjust the peak value to 3-3.5V (the wave shape as shown on the
figure 4-5). This is the adjustment of channel-1, observe U105-⑧ and
rotate the VR104 to finish the adjustment of channel-2, observe U106-⑧ and
rotate the VR106 to finish the adjustment of channel-3, observe U107-⑧ and
rotate the VR108 to finish the adjustment of channel-4.

5.2 Parameters of Instrument


Instrument Parameters include: Instrument SNO., Temperature Compensation
and Amount of Test (Figure 5-7).
1. Instrument Sno. Settled by the factory. It is consistent to the nameplage
of the instrument

Please do not modify the “Instrument Sno.”

2. Temperature Compensation:The temperature value which detected by the


sensor installed in the area of “Prewarming” is little different from the
actual one. So it is necessary to set a compensation value to
amendment. “+” may increase the temperature, and “-” may decrease
the temperature.
3. Amount of Test: Indicate the total of the instrument test samples number,
this value cann’t modify expect “Initialize” the system.

Figure 5-7 Parameters of Instrument

5.3 Initialize
Initialize the system (Figure 5-8). All the test value, parameters of test,
test-point value and QC value would be lost. System would back to the
default status. If the selection is “YES”, system would initialize(Figure 5-9).
After initialization all the test data and QC data would be lost, and parameters
of test and instrument would change back to the default. The amount of test
would be back to “0”.

Figure 5-8 Initialize

Figure 5-9 Initializing

5.4 Test-Point
Test-Point is a tool to analyze the signal acquired from the test winding
processed by the operational amplifier. When there is no cuvette with ball in
the test position, the acquisition value is lower, so wo called this value is
“ZERO VALUE”. When cuvette with ball in the test position the peak value is
higher (near to 3V), we called this value is “MAX VALUE”. “MIDDLE VALUE”
equals (max value-zero value)/2. In the interface (Figure 5-10), each
channel has 3 groups of value, left one is zero value, middle one is the middle
value, and the right one is max value. These values reflect the status of the
test. In the bottom of the screen is “TEST-POINT”. This value is the delay
time of acquisition. The best opportunity of acquisition is on the waveform
peak (Figure 5-11). In the figure 5-11 the top wave is the acquisition time,
other wave is the signal from the test winding processed by the operational
amplifier. Using oscillograph with two channels, mode ch1+ch2, view the
waveform. Let ch1 test IC-101(14), ch2 test IC104(8), press 【←】or 【→】
key to adjust TEST-POINT, and let the waveform like the Figure 5-11. Press
【Enter】 to save this value.

6. The Solving Method for the Common Trouble


6.1 Nothing on the display when turn on the instrument and
can not work

Malfunction phenomenon: No display when you turn on the instrument, no


sound on the buzzer and the instrument can not work.
Analysis: You should judge whether the fuse pipe is in good condition, ①
the fuse pipe is damaged: As all the pressure outputs on the
electrical source board have overcurrent protection, and the reason
for the trouble may be caused by too big current or the transformer
trouble at the moment of turning on the instrument, and you can
replace the fuse pipe; ② the fuse pipe is in good condition: The
electrical source board or other components may have problem, you
need exclude the problem one by one.
The settlement: pull out the electrical source and take out the fuse pipe, and
check the fuse pipe by multimeter.
① the fuse pipe is damage: Open the instrument and pull out the input
pin on the electrical source board, and replace the same type fuse
pipe, turn on the instrument for several seconds and then turn off and
test the fuse pipe again, and you need replace the transformer if the
fuse pipe is damaged; you have to exclude the problem in accordance
with the following method if the fuse pipe is good.
② the fuse pipe is in good condition: Plug in the input pin and pull out
the output pin, and check the electrical pressure by multimeter, and
the most important is 5V electrical pressure. It would be the problem
of electrical source board if the it’s in uncommon condition, and you
need replace a new electrical source board; it would be the problem
of the main control board if the buzzer and the instrument can not
work when you turn on the instrument after plug in the input cable
and pull out the input cable on the main board and other cables.
Please plug in the cable of the display, printer and the test board if
everything is OK, and you can exclude the problem one by one.

6.2 Date & time incorrect display


Malfunction phenomenon: Instrument date & time incorrect display
Analysis: The signal of date & time is occurred by the clock generator
X1226 on the main board, So it the X1226 or the battery or other
related components were abnormal would caused the signal of
date & time incorrect display.
The settlement: Open the instrument, at the Main Menu select “SETUP
SYSTEM” , then select “SETUP DATE & TIME”. At the interface,
input the correct date & time, depress 【Enter】key to save the date
& time. After several minutes go to the “SETUP DATE & TIME”
interface again. If date & time display correctly but not refresh, it
indicate that the crystal oscillator X102 is bad. If date & time
display incorrectly, it indicate that the clock generator X1226 is bad.
If date & time display correctly and was refreshed, please turn off
the power of the instrument, wait half past an hour, then turn on the
power again and go into the interface of “SETUP DATE & TIME”, if
date & time display incorrectly that it need to change the battery
which provide the power to the clock generator X1226.

6.3 The magnetic ball hit the wall of the testing glass
Malfunction phenomenon: the magnetic ball hit the testing glass while do
test
Analysis: The instrument should be put on the horizontal tabletop, because
if the tabletop is not horizontal, it will make the ball swing abnormal;
the winding driving force is adjusted in accordance with the testing
cup and the ball when the products send to the market, the moving
track of the ball in the testing cup is integrated but not excessively
big, under the condition of the unchanged driving force, the
replacement of the testing cup and the ball will influence the track of
the ball swing, and swing excessively will make the ball hit the
testing cup.
The settlement: First, judging whether the tabletop is horizontal or not, you
can use the gradienter for observation, also do the judgment by

《HTI-TS4000 Service Manual》 MD-Pacific Technology Corporation

observing whether the ball only hit single side during the test. You
need readjust the tabletop by gradienter if it’s the problem of the
tabletop. You need readjust the driving force of the loop if the hit is
not caused by uneven table. The adjustment method please refers
to the method in 4.3.

6.4 The heating block not heating up


Malfunction phenomenon: The heating block on the prewarming position can
not heating up.
Analysis: It may be caused by two reasons: ①The malfunction of the
temperature sensor lead to the failure of getting the temperature
number; ②The temperature sensor is normal, but the malfunction of
temperature controller or the heating pipe connection is not good
make the instrument can not heat up.
Settlement: Open the crust of the instrument, first, exclude the problem of the
bad connection of the heating pipe. Turn on the instrument, and
enter the “Temperature Adjustment” under the main menu, and
observe current temperature. The problem is caused by the bad
connection of the heating pipe if it shows〈37℃ and increase slowly,
otherwise, please check the problem in accordance with the
following methods.
① The temperature number is correct (show the current room
temperature <37℃), the test panel of the test sample JP201-1 heating
pipe power, should about 20V, if it is abnormal, you should inspect the
power board; if it is normal, you should replace the sample test board.
② The temperature number is incorrect (showing number>37℃), the
temperature sensor get wrong, you should replace the temperature
sensor.

6.5 Display “No Value”


Malfunction phenomenon: Display “No Value” on the LCD screen while
doing the test
6.5.1 Four channels all display “No Value”
Analysis: The level of the“zero signal” is too high, it can not judge the
end of the test. The instrument will acquisition the zero singal when you
turn on the power, so it must insure that there are noting on the testing
position.
The settlement: You must guarantee that no cuvette on the testing position
when turning on the instrument.
6.5.2 one or two channels display “No Value”
Analysis: The wall of the cuvette is not smooth, or the size of the ball is not
even can cause the ball swing asymmetrically in the cuvette.
The settlement: Replacing the cuvette and the ball means that the
replaced cuvette or the ball has problem if the malfunction did not occur.
After the process, if it still occur “No Value” it indicate that it need to be
readjusted the instrument, debugging method please refers to the
chapter 4th
6.6 Bad Repeatability
Malfunction phenomenon: Bad repeatablity
Analysis: The malfunction of bad repeatability would be complex on
maintenance and many places need to be repaired and have to
exclude one by one; the quality of reagent, the test glass and the ball,
and the adjustment of the enlarger of the signal.
The settlement: First, exclude the reason of reagent, the test glass and the
ball; it need refer to the chapter 4th for readjustment and correction if
there is no improvement.
