It provides the complete reference for the service personnel for diagnosis. The section consists of the following. Pony graphic Unit 1. Mother board Assembly (C01350-01-15) 2. Display Assembly (C01344-01-30) 3.
Printer: P/N: C01386-01-08 The physical structure of the Pony graphic Unit is described in the following block diagram: The Unit contains most of the parts constituting the spirometer and can be interfaced to the, the turbine flow meter and with the User's PC or external printer via the serial cable. AC/DC adapter powers the unit.
Handshake: DTR Hardware Power Supply The power supply to the Pony graphic Unit and the Optoelectronic transducer is done by 4 rechargeable NiCD batteries (1.2V, 1.2Ah).( they are packed in set of 2 ,each set containing two batteries) The IC U14 (MAX761) regulates the supply Voltage of the digital components. It also detects the Low battery status when the battery voltage goes lower than 4.7 Volts.
Display Assembly (C01344-01-30) 3.3.1. Function The display of pony graphic is the main interface for user to enter the patient details , to view the results and to print a particular test performed by the patient and for all the control functions to be performed.
Printer (C01386-01-08) 3.5.1. Function The printer used in the Pony graphic is the EPSON M190; it has 8 print solenoids horizontally placed. Each solenoid moves from left to right in order to print 18 dots so the total number of dots/line is 144.
3.5.4. Assembly Drawing 3.5.5. Warnings & Indications in Event of Failure. • Printing Failure • Paper jam during Printing • No Printout 3.6. Opto Electronic Assembly(C00095-01-05) 3.6.1. Function The flow meter is composed by a Bi-directional turbine and an Optoelectronic transducer. The Turbine is made of (see figure) a transparent tube with two helical conveyors to which is fixed (rotating free) a very lightweight rotor (blade).
3.7. Battery Charger (C00766-01-30) (C00767-01-30) 3.7.1. Function The Battery charger of the Pony graphic supplies power to the Battery charging circuit (see Mother Board). Two models are available depending of the country where you purchased the system: Pony graphic AC/DC adapter 220V 12V 1A...
3.7.5. Warnings & Indications in Event of Failure. • Power failure • Battery charging failure. Service Manual Ponygraphic Chapter 3 Part Description...
Pony graphic User's Manual. • If the Pony graphic fails to respond as described, DO NOT use it until you have corrected the situation. Refer to the trouble-shooting section of this manual for more detailed discussion.

6.1.1. Disassembling the Pony graphic It is necessary to open the unit for repair and adjustment , the procedure described bleow deals with the disassembling of the pony graphic unit. Flow meter 1. Remove the Turbine from the Optoelectronic Transducer as described in the Pony graphic User's Manual.
6.2. Electronics 6.2.1. Display contrast Adjustment This is necessary when the it is not possible to se any data on the display of pony graphic, one has to adjust the LCD contrast electronically. Procedure 1. Switch off the Pony graphic and completely charge the batteries 2.
Auto Test Mode Auto Test Mode In the EPROM of the Pony graphic is stored an Auto-test program that is particularly useful to check eventual malfunctions of the main components. The program can be activated by switching-on the Pony graphic Unit while a special adapter is connected to the RS232 port.
Connecting to External Printer 6.4.1. External printer: features and connections The Pony Graphic version 3.0 (and higher) allows you to print the test report through the small dot matrix printer of the spirometer as well as through any printer (Laser or inkjet) which supports the HP PCL3 (or higher) language.
Note : The paper size used should be European A4 (210 x 297 mm). Pony-Printer connection The electric diagram of the connection between the Pony Graphic and the printer is useful in case the printer has a serial connector which is not compatible with the adapter which is supplied with the equipment.

If you wish to interrupt the printing process press CANCEL. Note: the external printer can only be used to print the test report; the other print-out (list test...) and possible messages (delete archive, calibration turbine...) can be printed only through the internal printer even if the external printer has been selected.
General This Chapter provides the service personnel with information about the different Layouts, disassembling schematics and circuit diagrams of the Pony graphic. Before disassembling the unit please take care that all the transducers and cables are disconnected from the unit.
