Figure 4-1 Functional block diagram of the Aaron 1250 system FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW OF KEY CIRCUITS The following descriptions highlight the main circuits in the Aaron 1250 Electrosurgical Generator. High Voltage DC Supply The unit incorporates a high voltage power supply to generate the RF output power. The high voltage power supply delivers an unregulated DC output for the RF output. -
Page 39: Dc Supply Check Circuit
When you connect a single plate patient return electrode to the unit, the Pad Sensing Module will detect if the resist- ance is below 5 Ω. If it is, the Aaron 1250 will display the green single plate LED on the front of the unit. -
Page 40: Rf Amplifier Circuit
Monopolar Select Circuit The monopolar select circuit is used to switch the Aaron 1250 between each of the four-monopolar modes. Selection of the modes is accomplished through the matrix switches on the front panel. High voltage relays are used to switch and isolate the four-monopolar configurations one from the other. -
Page 41: Aaron 1250 Control Signal Inputs And Outputs
AARON 1250 CONTROL SIGNAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The following table lists the important input and output signals. From a troubleshooting standpoint, the absence (and presence) of these signals will help you isolate problems. Signal Name Description PAD_SNS_ERROR This is the input signal from the Pad Sense Module that informs the system logic that a pad sensing error has occurred. - Page 42 If the line voltage is within normal operating parameters a logic 1 (5 VDC) is sent to the system logic. If the line voltage increase by more than 30% a logic 0 (0 VDC) is sent to the system logic. Bovie / Aaron Medical...
