CODING INSTRUCTIONS: 79/89/9900/EPIC YAG
PRODUCT LINES 10 FEB 2000
The following are instructions for coding service actions on the SYSTEM CERTIFICATION REPORT, including
the 79/89/9900 Product Line Detail Identifier List (begins on next page). Refer to the Service Department
Policies & Procedure Manual for additional information on the Service Reporting System and System
Certification Report.
The Maintenance Information Box on the form includes multiple fields for service action codes (SAC’s). Each
entered code specifies, for computer input, the service action completed during the call. If no service actions are
completed, no SAC’s are necessary. Note that only completed actions should be reported.
The text area of the Maintenance Information Section of the form is used to provide additional detail on the
service actions taken, as determined appropriate by the Servicing Engineer.
The first two characters of the sac form the Product Category Identifier. There are six Product Category
Identifiers (PC, VP, CO, OP, NV and YG). The product Category Identifier used for the System Certification
Report is “YG”.
The next four characters of the SAC form the Detail Identifier. Select the appropriate four character identifier
from the list beginning on the next page.
• Install, De-install and PM, use identifiers from the “0000” category.
• For coding corrective maintenance actions, select the appropriate identifier from the catego-
ries 1000 through 8000. When coding failures, identify the source of the failure, but not those
adjustments or alignments made necessary by the repair, then select the appropriate identi-
fier under the proper category. For example, if a laser tube fails and is replaced, do not code
all the additional adjustments and alignments required as a result of the new laser tube
installation, code only the laser tube failure (6010).
• For Retrofits, the identifier under “9000” category indicates a particular retrofit.
• When a specific identifier does not identify the failure, use the more general identifier, such
as “3000” for a cooling system failure that is not more specifically identified within the “3000”
series of identifiers.
The last character of the SAC indicates the method of repair, in cases of corrective maintenance. For installs, de-
installs, retrofits and preventive maintenance calls, an “N” is used to indicate “not applicable”.

EPIC FSB # 1: EPIC IV REMOTE CONTROL, CONTROLLER PCB
REVISION C1 AND NEXT CALL RETROFIT (9700) 10 FEB 99
INTRODUCTION
This Field Service Bulletin provides information on the EPIC IV YAG lasers when connected to an Ultima laser
and orders a next call retrofit (9700) on all EPIC IV laser Controller PCB’s revision C and prior.
Some productionEPIC IV YAG remote controls have been malfunctioning whenever the Ultima laser is
connected and enabled (i.e., intermittent function of the buttons on the remote control or a delayed reaction
when the buttons are depressed to access the Ultima). Noise was found on the ULT+ and ULT- signal lines on
the Controller PCB causing the EPIC IV remote control to either respond intermittently or respond with
anexcessive delay.
To fix this problem, ECO#68012 adds two 332Ω (P/N 4709-3322) pull up resistors to the ULT+ and ULT- signal
lines on the EPIC Controller PCB (J2-23 to J2-37 and J2-29 to J2-35) to improve the quality of communication
signals between the EPIC IV remote control and the Ultima laser. All EPIC IV lasers shipping from Coherent
after December 1998 will already have the reworked Controller PCB (revision C1) incorporated. In the near
future, these two pull up resistors will be incorporated into the new Controller PCB fabrication (revision “D”).
A next call retrofit has been ordeed for the EPIC IV Controller PCB’s in the field (revision “C” or prior) to add
the two pull up resistors and change the revision level to C1.
Perform this retrofit on a next call basis on all EPIC IV Controller PCB’s with revision “C” or prior.
Part Number:
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the laser from the AC power source.
2. Remove the right side cover from the power supply module, disconnect all cables connected to the Con-
troller PCB and remove the Controller PCB.
3. Place teflon sleeves (P/N 3102-0021) over the bare leads of each 332Ω resistor (P/N 4709-3322).
4. Solder the two 332Ω pull up resistors (P/N 4709-3322) to the following points on the solder side of the
Controller PCB:

NOTE: Verify there are no solder bridges or splash between the solder pads.
5. Reinstall the Controller PCB and reattach all cables on the Controller PCB.
7. Enable the Ultima laser via the EPIC IV remote control and set it to READY. Using the power UP/
DOWN and aiming UP/DOWN, verify the operation of the Ultima laser and that there are no delays or
skipped settings.
8. Perform the Operation and Safety Check in Section 3 of the EPIC Service Manual and the Operational,
Safety & Delivery Systems Checkout in Section 3 of the Ultima Service Manual.
Report the completion of the retrofit using the Service Action Code (SAC) YG9700 on the System Certification
report (Service Report).

EPIC FSB # 2: ULTIMA/EPIC INTERFACE AND UPGRADE RETROFIT
13 APR 99
This Field Service Bulletin provides information on the interface of the EPIC IV YAG laser to the Ultima® laser
and the upgrade retrofit involved. Ultima lasers are now shipping with software and new revision Controller
PCBs that allow it to work in conjunction with the new EPIC IV YAG laser as “combination systems”. In
addition, the Ultima and EPIC IV YAG laser share the same slit lamp, Remote Control and footswitch. Down
rev. Ultimas can be retrofitted to work with the EPIC IV YAG laser by installing the upgrade (FRU) kit (P/N
0634-039-01 or 0634-039-05 for TUV/CE systems). The upgrade kit must be installed by an Ultima trained
Coherent Field Service Engineer. This Field Service Bulletin is provided for the purpose of information. Refer
to the Ultima Field Service Bulletin #20 for detail information (i.e., SAC Code).
The Ultima and EPIC IV YAG laser are interfaced together electronically via an interface cable (which is
supplied with the EPIC IV). The physician in this way can set the operating parameters of the Ultima or the
EPIC IV laser via the EPIC Remote Control and fire either laser through the EPIC IV footswitch.
The EPIC IV YAG laser interface is supported by the following revision Ultima software and Controller
boards:
Software:
Controller PCB:
Ultima laser systems that already have the revision “J” (E) software or later and the revision “F” or later
Controller PCB will only require the installation of an internal control cable and the adaptor box. Ultima
systems with Controller PCBs revision “D” or “E” must have jumper wires soldered onto the board and
revision “J” (E) or later software installed, in addition to the installation of the internal cable and adaptor box.
Older Ultima system Controller PCBs (revision ‘C” or prior) must have the Controller PCBs and system
software replaced, which is supplied in the upgrade kit, in addition to performing the rest of the retrofit.
NOTE: If the physician desires to operate the Ultima as a standalone system, they can do so by discon-
necting the EPIC interface cable from the Ultima internal cable and footswitch, then reconnecting the
Ultima remote control (including the adaptor box P/N 0635-195-01), and Ultima footswitch.

Perform this upgrade if the Ultima is to operate in conjunction with the EPIC laser.
1. Turn off the Ultima, disconnect the power cord from the AC power source, remove the front bezel and
cover.
If the Controller PCB is rev. “F” or later, no rework is necessary and go on to step 3. If the Controller
PCB is prior to rev. “F”, then perform the following:
• If the Controller PCB is rev. “D” or “E”, solder the jumper wires (6001-1394) to the follow-
ing points:
• If the Controller PCB is rev. “C” or prior, replace the Controller PCB with the one supplied
in the upgrade kit.
Verify the revision level of the software, if the software is not revision “J” (revision “E” for TUV/CE
version), replace with the software supplied in the retrofit kit.
Cut and discard the strain relief bushing, then remove the Ultima Remote Control assembly (including
the ground wire). Set the Ultima Remote Control assembly aside. Install the new Ultima internal
cable assembly and new strain relief in its place.
5. Connect the Ultima to the EPIC IV YAG. Refer to the drawing on page 4 of 4.
Remove the Ultima footswitch and connect the EPIC interface cable to the mating end of the internal
cable, to the Ultima footswitch receptacle and to the connector on the back of the EPIC laser labelled
“PHOTOCOAGULATOR”.
The adaptor box allows the physician the option to operate the Ultima as a standalone laser.
