AIL/Safety Clamp Housing • Motor CareFusion will make available, on request, circuit diagrams which will assist appropriately qualified technical personnel to repair those parts of the device which are designated by the manufacturer as repairable. Control PCB The Control PCB is broken into a number of functional blocks. A description of each block follows: Main Processor Module At the heart of the system, the main processor provides all the high level control functionality.
Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump Circuit Descriptions Motor Encoder PCB The Motor Encoder PCB sits above the encoder wheel. The wheel consists of two discs one with multiple teeth the other with a single slot. The wheel with the multiple teeth runs through a dual channel slotted optical switch which produces two digital encoder signals. The fluid delivery processor is able to interpret the phase and frequency of these signals to determine the speed and direction of the cam shaft.
Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump Circuit Descriptions Power Supply A universal input switched mode power supply used to regulate the mains input voltage. IEC Mains Inlet A medical grade filtered mains inlet with fuses in the live and neutral lines. The fuses can be accessed by removing the external splash cover and opening the fuse draw.
Batteries should be disposed of as outlined by the local country regulations . Do not send batteries back to the manufacturer . Only use CareFusion recommended spare parts . This chapter contains procedures required to properly disassemble, repair and replace parts and then to reassemble the pump.
Alaris® GP Volumetric Pump Corrective Maintenance Torque Guide The torque levels established during the manufacturing process are outlined in this chapter, for example 40cNm. Torque levels selected apply throughout product life. Use the information as a guide to the ‘do not exceed’ torque levels when servicing the pump. When servicing, it is recommended that torque is applied gradually until the component is secure.
