3.4 Monitor Disassembly

Most alignment and repair operations can only be performed with the monitor disassembled. This section

describes how to remove the covers, disassemble the chassis and remove the circuit boards. The

™

description refers to fully equipped DINAMAP

Compact TS models. DINAMAP

Compact T models do not

have SpO

functions and therefore the SpO

related components are not fitted.

Before beginning disassembly, disconnect the line power cord from the power socket and remove the

rechargeable lead-acid battery. Be careful to observe anti-static handling precautions throughout.

Note:

Pictures shown are from a revision 06 unit, appearance may differ slightly on earlier units.

The front panel contains the Display board, Liquid Crystal Display module and switchboard. The Rotor,

Temperature probe socket and SpO

socket (model TS) are also mounted on the inside of the panel.

The front panel must be removed if access to any of the boards or modules mounted on it or behind it is

™

required. To remove the panel, release the two Pozidriv

screws mounted inside the hand recess of the

instrument' s rear enclosure.

retaining screws

Then carefully pull the top of the front panel away from the rear enclosure. The panel will tilt forwards but is

still retained by two plastic clips at its bottom edge. Unhook the front panel from these clips, taking care not

to damage them. This is particularly important when refitting the front panel later.
