Summary of Operation This section gives a brief description of the operation of the Model 515B/C monitor. For more detailed information refer to the Model 515B/C User’s Manual (Cat. No. 6500-23/6550-23). Turning the monitor ON/OFF key controls powering the monitor on and off. To charge the battery from AC mains ensure that the power cord is connected and plugged into a hospital grade three prong outlet.
2. There is a ten second time-out counter that starts each time the SpO or pulse key is pressed. When the counter times-out the monitor will return to its normal operating mode. Model 515B/C Service Manual Rev. 01...
AC Mains and Battery Operation Overview 5.1.1 The Model 515B/C is powered from its internal 12 volt battery that is charged when the monitor is connected to the AC line. The green (sine wave shaped) front panel indicator illuminates when the line cord is connected and the rear panel power switch is in the “|”...
The 2722 or 2724 version contains the graphics display for model 515C, otherwise the circuitry is identical. Units with the newer 2723 (for Model 515B) or 2724 (Model 515C) board can be identified with an “X” in the serial number suffix.
The switch IC28c pins 9-11, controlled from SIGND* (Signal Ground), will be open 1. The Model 515B/C uses SuperBright™ sensors (part number 87xx series). If a non-SuperBright™ (Novametrix part num- ber 86xx series) sensor is connected, IC4b pin 7 will go negative.
Data from the Red and Infrared channels is sampled by the 20-bit measurement ADCs, IC23 and IC24 respectively. The analog input at pin 9 is converted to a digital representation with 20- bit resolution based on the input magnitude. Model 515B/C Service Manual Rev. 01...
The Q14 output of IC6 is used as an interrupt that is generated every 5 milliseconds (INT5MS). The data sampling controller IC13 is a Programmable Electrically Erasable Logic device (PEEL). The PEEL uses the outputs from IC6 and generates the front end timing signals. These Rev. 01 Model 515B/C Service Manual...
Infrared LED. If the channel at IC25 pin 5 is sampled the monitor can determine if the LED is open circuit (zero volts at IC25 pin 5) or operational (approximately 2.5 volts at IC25 pin 5). Model 515B/C Service Manual Rev. 01...
After receiving the correct number of bits for the ADC being read, the CPU changes the AA1 and AA0 decode lines and exerts the Next line (NEXT*) at IC12 pin 12 low. This restarts the serial data shifting out of the newly selected ADC. Rev. 01 Model 515B/C Service Manual...
Microprocessor and Memory 5.2.11 The Model 515B/C is controlled by IC1, an 8 bit microprocessor running at 6.14 MHz (see page 1 on schematic). Crystal Y1 controls the operating frequency, system address lines are labelled as A0-A17, system data lines are labelled D0-D7.

Audio Drive Circuitry 5.2.16 The audio in the Model 515B/C is both frequency and volume adjusted, see page 4 on schematic. The speaker LS1 is driven by audio amplifier IC16, volume is controlled by a digital potentiometer IC33, located in the feedback loop. The digital potentiometer is controlled by the AUD_INC* line and address line A0.
Q16 is biased off the backlight is off (R32 is not installed int he 2723/2724 boards). 2. The TSW1 configuration header will disable the audible alert muting if set, the remaining lines are for internal Novametrix use. Rev. 01 Model 515B/C Service Manual...
