  • Page 43: Theory Of Infrared Transmission, Ms Series

    Theory of Infrared Transmission, MS Series The Sherwood IMS Genius communicates the results of a temperature measurement via an infrared communication link. The Genius contains an infrared transmission light-emitting diode (LED), which sends optical impulses to the Temp-Mate. A semi-conductor optical detector in the Temp-Mate receives the optical impulses and converts them to electrical impulses.
  • Page 44: How The Genius Derives The Temperature Of An Infrared Target

    How the Genius Derives the Temperature of an Infrared Target 1. Genius uses an infrared sensing device called a "thermopile detector" to measure infrared emissions from a target such as the tympanic membrane in the ear. 2. The thermopile is best described as a series of thermocouples, arranged around a blackened, "heat collecting" surface.

    2. It keeps approximately one second's worth of temperature scans stored in a buffer. This buffer is continually refreshed. Because only the most recent second of data is held in the buffer, it is very unlikely that the unit would store a "false peak," such as would be seen when passing the probe tip over a hot cup of coffee. 3.

  • Page 48: Front End Switch

    6.22 Front End Switch In order to reduce current consumption and increase battery life, the F-2000 leaves the front-end circuitry off except when it is time to take a reading. The "switch" that controls this is Q1. When the MCU needs to take a reading, it biases Q1, bringing the front-end ground to true ground and applying power to U1, U2, and their associated components.
  • Page 49: Calibration Self-Check Circuitry

    6.25 Calibration Self-Check Circuitry The F-2000 performs a two-point calibration self-check every time it is turned on. This is accomplished under a microcontroller program control by biasing the FET switches Q9 and Q10 in turn, switching precision calibration resistances into the F-2000 front-end circuitry. Q10 switches in the "Low Cal" resistance value represents 89.5ºF (31.9ºC).

  • Page 89 Replacing the Real-Time Clock (RTC) Battery The socket for the RTC battery (BTI) is located on the auxiliary PCB at grid location 5D. Typical life of the clock battery is 5 years. Caution: After replacing and RTC battery, switch the instrument, on then immediately switch it off; this action will prevent possible damage to the RTC voltage circuit.
  • Page 90 Replacing the DB-9 Connector 1. Disassemble the N-20P; the connector is on the main PCB at grid location 3A. 2. Using a low-power soldering iron, unsolder the connector from the PCB and remove it. Save all Teflon tubing, ferrite blocks, and insulating materials for the replacement connector. 3.
  • Page 91: Theory Of Operation For N-20P

    12.2 Theory of Operation for N-20P Overview The N-20P is based on the principles of spectrophotometry and optical plethysmography. Optical plethsymography uses light absorption technology to reproduce wave forms produced by pulsatile blood. The changes that occur in the absorption of light due to vascular bed changes are reproduced by the pulse oximeter as plethysmographic wave forms.
  • Page 92 Overview This section provides a detailed explanation of N-20P operation using block diagrams and circuit schematics. The N-20P consists of three main components: 1. The N020P main PCB schematic diagram. 2. The N-20P auxiliary PCB schematic diagram. 3. The N-20P flex circuit schematic diagram. The relationship between these components and their interconnection is illustrated in the overall block diagram.
  • Page 93 Printer Control Block Diagram Printer circuitry is divided into two subsections: the printer interface and the printer flex circuit. The printer interface circuitry is present on all models, but is disabled by software in the N-20. The printer flex circuit is added when a printer is present.
  • Page 94 Display and Analog Shield Assembly – this assembly connects to the main PCB by flex circuits. A metal shield shrouds the SpO2 analog circuits on the main PCB to protect them from EMI. An integrated electroluminescent backlight illuminates the display under low light conditions. The N-20P has an additional printer control board (printer flex circuit), and printer hardware.
  • Page 95 Signal gain – The separated LED signals are amplified so that their current levels are within the A/D converter's acceptable range. The signals are filtered to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and clamped to a reference voltage. AC ranging – DC offset is eliminated from each LED signal. An analog switch sets the mean signal value to the mean of the A/D converter range, and the AC modulation is superimposed on that DC level.
  • Page 96 LED Drive Circuit The IR and red LEDs are separately controlled with their drives currents multiplexed over two shared wires. Current to the IR LED is in the range of 4.3-50.0 mA; and, current to the red LED is in the range of 6.5-75.0 mA.
  • Page 97 U6D, a single-pole-single-throw (SPST) analog switch, is controlled by the same line that controls the on/off pulsing of the LEDs. When either of the LEDs are on (the line is low and the switch is closed) U35 is used as a non-inverting amplifier.
  • Page 98 AC Ranging In order to achieve a specified level of oxygen saturation measurement and to still use a standard type combined CPU and A/D converter, the DC offset is subtracted from each signal. Because the DC portion of the signal can be on the order of one thousand times the AC modulation, 16 bits of A/D conversion would otherwise be required to accurately compare the IR and red modulations between the combined AC and DC signals.
  • Page 99 • Display Control – A high-visibility display provides oxygen saturation and pulse rate values. An ambient light sensor responds to low light conditions and turns on the display backlight. • User Controls – A measure button and a battery-check button. The measure button signals the power control circuit to switch on the power supply.
  • Page 100 When the power supply is first switched on by the power control circuit, the reset generation circuit holds the CPU RESET pin low for at least 20 ms, then allows the internal pull-up resistor to bring it high; this assures a good CPU reset.
  • Page 101 Address Decoding The CPU has a 64K byte address range of 0-FFFF. RAM, EPROM, and I/O ports share this space. The address decoding circuit splits up this space and output enable lines to the RAM, EPROM, and I/O ports. U30A generates the static RAMs active low enable signal, RAMEN. When address lines A13, A14, A15 are all high, U30As output goes low, enabling the RAM.
  • Page 102 Input Port U16 is the input port external to the CPU. The logic levels on the inputs (pins D1-D8) are output to the CPU via the AD bus while EXINEN is strobed low. All of the user control buttons are input via U16. Also, the battery type is sensed via U16;...
  • Page 103 Audio Output BZ1, a piezo ceramic sounder, is the audio output device. Due to its low drive current of 2 mA maximum, no drive circuitry is needed and is driven directly from the external output port. It is differentially driven with 2 square waves 180 degrees out of phase.
  • Page 104 Control Conditioning Circuit The CPU generates a 400 µs low pulse rate train at a 160 Hz rate on signal DISP PHASE. Half of U34 takes DISP PHASE as an input and creates DISP POL as an 80 Hz 50% duty cycle square wave. A CPU reset initializes DISP POL low when any CPU reset occurs so the software knows the initial state.
  • Page 105 Power Supply/Power Control Circuitry Power supply circuitry is located on the auxiliary PCB and consist of the following subsections: • Batteries – Four 1.5 V alkaline "C" size batteries provide 4-6 VDC power. • Power control circuitry – Power control circuitry is connected to the batteries. It senses any press of the measure button and switches on the power supplies.
  • Page 106 Power Control Circuitry The power control circuit consists of U21 and its associated components. U21 is a D flip/flop with asynchronous preset and clear; only the preset and clear are used. Power is applied to U21 via CR11 whenever batteries are installed. CR11 provides protection for U21 if the batteries are installed with reverse polarity.
  • Page 107 Raw Power Supplies The input to the raw power supplies is VCC, which is a switched-capacitor voltage converter operating in separate multiply and invert modes in conjunction with supporting circuitry. U23 inverts Vcc and outputs raw -5 V. Raw 10 V is derived by voltage doubling Vcc with CR14, CR19, CR20, and CR78. Raw 12 V is derived by voltage tripling Vcc with CR15, Q8, Q9, C96, C81, R119, and R120.
  • Page 108 Battery Voltage The analog input voltage range of the CPU is 0-5 VDC. Because the battery voltage may be as high as 6.2 V, R69 and R70 form a voltage divider to decrease the measured battery voltage to a usable level. The gain is 0.75; thus, if the battery voltage was 6 V, then the voltage of BAT VOLT would be 6 x 0.75 which equals 4.5 V.

    The position of the print head is sensed by the signal PR HOME. Whenever the print head is not in the home position, a switch in the printer closes, shorting PR HOME to switched ground. Whenever the print head is in the home position, the switch opens, allowing R118 to pull PR HOME high.
  • Page 111 Power-On Self Test (POST) When an N-20P is switched on, a sequence of diagnostic tests are run that examine the instruments electronics and display functions. This power-up self-test consists of the following events: Immediately after power is switched on, the instrument simultaneously: •...
  • Page 112 CAUTION: If a sensor is attached, remove it prior to running the following test. 1. Switch off the N-20P; open the battery door and remove the batteries. 2. Set the power supply's voltage to 5 VDC, and connect the supply to the battery clips of the N-20P – ensure that polarity is correct.
