Main System Board Functions The Main System Board contains the major computing and control elements for the E Series unit. The printed wiring board assembly (PWBA) receives signals from the front panel control switches, ECG input connectors and functional modules, such as the AC/DC charger, pacer/defibrillator modules,...
Power Supply The power supply converts DC power from a removable battery or the AC/DC Battery Charger module to voltages required by the E Series hardware. The power supply circuit converts the raw battery or the Charger PWBA output voltages of +8.5 VDC to +16 VDC into the voltages shown in the table below, including load and line regulation.

When the patient discharge SCRs are deactivated, the safety relay closes to internally dissipate any remaining energy. If the E Series is in the self test mode, the energy is delivered internally. The microprocessor calculates the actual delivered energy from the current waveform and displays a TEST OK message on the display, if the self test meets the appropriate criteria.
Page 105
E Series Service Manual The patient relay discharges via the signal PATREL_DRV generated by XPATREL and Q304, Q323, and Q322. PATREL_DRV is disabled when XPACE_SEL is at a logic low. When the patient relay activation completes, the Main System Board releases the XPATREL signal. Several hundred milliseconds later, the safety relay closes to ensure the high voltage capacitor energy is completely dissipated.
(for a mains input), AC-DC and DC-DC conversion and isolation barrier between the E Series and power sources. This module also provides the power necessary to run the E Series in any mode of operation, as well as providing additional charging current to the battery. When the E Series is turned off but connected to an external AC or DC source, the charger module controls battery charging currents and voltages needed to charge the E Series battery.
E Series Service Manual System Interconnect Module The system interconnect PWBA receives signals from the Main System Board and in turn controls operation of the stripchart recorder and PCMCIA functions. Stripchart Recorder The Stripchart Recorder module includes a microprocessor, serial interface to the main system board and circuitry which drive the stripchart recorder’s motor and printhead in response to the main CPU signals.
The 12 lead cable is required to produce 12 lead reports. E Series unit must have the 12 lead option installed. All limb leads and V-leads must be connected to initiate a 12 lead acquisition. Printed 12 Lead bandwidth is user configurable to be either 0.05-150 Hz (per AAMI EC11) or 0.05-40 Hz. The 0.05-40 Hz bandwidth selection is used to reduce noise artifact in the high end of the diagnostic frequency range.

Changing the Battery Pack operation, and the pattern of discharging and recharging batteries contribute to the loss of battery charge capacity. The E Series products are designed for quick removal Because of this, ZOLL recommends that operators and replacement of the battery pack.
ZOLL Base Power Charger 4x4 or SurePower Charger was designed specifically for this purpose. With the E Series unit plugged in to AC mains and turned off, the device recharges the sealed lead acid battery to greater than 90% capacity within 4 hours, and the lithium-ion battery pack to greater than 90% capacity in less than 7 hours.
It is important to visibly distinguish battery packs that are charged from those that are not. Establish a system for visually indicating whether a battery pack is charged and ready for use or is in need of charging. ZOLL can provide you with battery pack status labels for this purpose, or you can use labels or methods of your own.
Page 238
If the device shows a LOW BATTERY warning during testing, replace the depleted battery pack with a fully charged one, and recharge the depleted battery pack. DON’T charge battery packs at temperature extremes. ZOLL recommends charging battery packs at or near normal room temperature (15°C to 35°C or 59°F to 95°F). 12-4 9650-1210-01 Rev. R...

The E Series averages the interval between the last 5 detected beats. On startup, the Averaging E Series averages the rate between detected beats once two beats are detected, until a full 5 beats have been received. The rate is updated every beat. After this condition is met, the meter is updated every beat with an average of the last 5 beats.

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the E Series unit is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the E Series unit should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the E Series unit.
The life-support functions on the E Series unit are defined to be any function associated with Pacing and Defibrilla- tion. Specifically, these functions include, but are not limited to, the pacing pulse output and defibrillation energy dis- charge.

(VT) defibrillation study. This study (which was conducted using ZOLL M Series defibrillators) and the findings are described below. Since the E Series unit's rectilinear biphasic waveform employs the same first and second phase timing, the same first and second phase currents/voltages and essentially the same mechanisms for controlling defibrillation waveshape, the ZOLL M Series and ZOLL E Series defibrillation waveforms are considered equivalent.

±15% Figures A-1 through A-20 show the rectilinear biphasic waveforms that are produced when the E Series defibrillator is discharged into loads of 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 175 ohms at each energy setting (200, 150, 120, 100, 85, 70, 50, 30, 20, 15, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 joule[s]).
Figure A-20. Rectilinear Biphasic Waveforms at 1 Joules Clinical Trial Results for the Biphasic Waveform The efficacy of ZOLL’s Rectilinear Biphasic waveform has been clinically verified during a study of defibrillation of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)/Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). A feasibility study was performed initially for defibrillation of VF/VT (n=20) on two separate groups of patients to ensure waveform safety and energy selection.
A total of 173 patients entered the study. Seven (7) patients who did not satisfy all protocol criteria were excluded from the analysis. ZOLL disposable gel electrodes with surface areas of 78 cm (anterior) and 113 cm (posterior) were used exclusively for the study.
between the two waveforms were considered statistically significant when the 95% confidence interval between the two waveforms was greater than 0%. Results: The study population of 165 patients had a mean age of 66±12 years with 116 male patients. The total efficacy of consecutive rectilinear biphasic shocks was significantly greater than that of monophasic shocks. The following table displays the Kaplan-Meier (product-limit) survival curves for each of the two waveforms.
