Troubleshooting: Fault analysis
The problems and solutions in this chapter represent only a few of the
faults that you may encounter and are not intended to cover every
possible problem that may occur.
A systematic approach to the diagnosis of problems as well as a general
understanding of the architecture, both hardware and software, of the
patient monitor are essential to ensure successful troubleshooting of a
device. GE recommends formal service training before repairs are
attempted. These troubleshooting procedures combined with training
provide the service technician with skills necessary to service and repair
a patient monitor in the event of a malfunction.
Before starting any detailed troubleshooting, complete a thorough visual
inspection of the following:
All cable connections secure?
Devices properly powered?
Connected to a proper power source?
Correct Ethernet and internet addresses?
No duplication of internet addresses and LAN addresses on the
network.
The Solar 8000M/i patient monitor is factory calibrated and requires no
calibration in the field. The only field adjustable switch is S1 on the
power supply. It selects the range for the AC mains input, but should not
need to be changed.
