Maintenance & troubleshooting

 Function-Testing method: turn on the air source,

short circuit port 2 and port 8
 Observe if there are many dirt or some water in
the air source
 Check filter & silencer if they are blocked

 Can’t start air pump
If you can't open the air compressor in Service->Debug->Mix unit-
>Open air compressor, please check these:
1) Please check if the RS232 cable connecting the main unit and pneumatic unit is loose
or not, or replace a new cable.
2) Check if the fuse on the pneumatic unit is burnt or not. It is below the power plug on
rear panel of pneumatic unit.
3) Open the air compressor, and check if any cable connecting to the gas control board is
loose or not.
4) Remove the temperature protect sensor from the gas control board (J6), and short
circuit J6. Then open the air compressor again, if the air compressor starts work, please
replace temperature protect sensor.
5) If still can't open, please check if the green LED light on or not when you start the air
compressor. If it doesn't light on, it might be the problem of the gas control board. Please
replace and have a try.
6) If the LED light on and the fan starts working but air pump doesn't work, please replace
the air pump.
7) Find the RS232 port on rear panel of pneumatic unit, and you can connect port2 and
port 8. If it starts working, so it means the pneumatic unit is good, maybe the problem is
the RS232 cable connecting to main unit, interface board, cable of interface board to CPU
board.

 Can’t start air pump
If you can open the air compressor in Service->Debug->Mix unit->O
pen air compressor, but the pneumatic unit shut down when do test
s, please check the following:
1) Access Service->Status->Temp&Pressure, and make sure all the pressures are about th
e right value. For example, 250Kpa pressure to be about 250KPa. If not, please adjust the r
elating regulator. Adjust 250KPa regulator, and check if the 250KPa real value change. If it
doesn’t change, maybe the regulator is defective.
2) Login in as administrator (ADMIN, ADMIN), then stay in Service->Status ->Temp&Pressu
re menu, wait and check if the pneumatic shut down. If the air compressor keeps working,
maybe and see what alarm appears on the screen or which pressure is abnormal thus caus
e the shutdown.
3) Please check if there is any block of the tubes in the pneumatic unit.
4) After the pneumatic unit shut down suddenly, open the cover of the pneumatic unit, chec
k if panel 1 is hot. If it is too hot, the protective temperature sensor will shut down the air co
mpressor. Please start the air compressor in service menu, and check if the two fans (upper
and lower) work good.
5) Please replace the gas control board and have a try.
6) Please replace the air pump and have a try.

 250KPa abnormal

• 250KPa > 300

• 250KPa <200

International Service Department, Mindray., Co

 250KPa abnormal
 First check if the air compressor can work. If not please check accor
ding to “air compressor doesn’t work”.
 Then access Service->Status->Pressure, check the pressure value.
Increase the regulator (0.25MPa, or we call it relief valve) on the pn
eumatic unit to see if it goes up. If it doesn’t go up, maybe the regula
tor is defective.
 Open the cover of the pneumatic unit, check all the tubes inside.
 Open the left cover of BC-5500 main instrument, check the pressure
filter, drier and related tubing.
 Check the pressure sensor by exchanging them. Exchange the sens
or of 0.25MPa with that of 0.16MPa, then check the value on the “St
atus >Temp&Pres.” Screen.
 At last, change the air pump.

160KPa/70KPa/-40KPa/-85KPa Abnormal
 1. Check the air compressor by the indicator on the pneumatic unit
whether it is working. If not, go to the “Service->Debug->Mix unit” sc
reen and press “turn on the compressor” to turn it on.
 2. Access Service->Status->Temp&Pressure, check if 250KPa is no
rmal. If it is out of range, please check according to “250KPa abnor
mal”.
 3. Check the WC1 and Buffer bath whether they are full. If yes, firstl
y drain the WC1 in the “Service > Maintain” screen; secondly shut d
own the air compressor in the “Service > Self-test > Valve” screen, t
hen unscrew the Buffer bath and empty it. Please reassemble the B
uffer bath to check again.
 4. Adjust the corresponding regulators.
 5. Check the pressure sensor on power driver board by exchanging
them. For example, exchange the sensor of 0.25MPa with that of 0.
16MPa, then check the value on the “Status >Temp&Pres.” Screen.
If the sensor has some problem, you need to replace the power driv
er board.

 Cylinder Action Error
 1. Perform self-test in the “Service > Self-test > Mechanical” screen.
 2. Check the pressure value whether they are within normal range.
 3. Check whether there is any leakage or the connector is loose.
 4. Check the optical sensor. You could remove another one from the
unit and replace the one of pierce cylinder to check.
