  • Page 5: Warranty

    Allyn, Inc. (Welch Allyn) is warranted to be free from original defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year from the date of first shipment from Welch Allyn. This warranty shall be fulfilled by Welch Allyn or its authorized representative repairing or replacing at Welch Allyn's discretion, any such defect, free of charge for parts and labor.

    Input: 28.9 o C to 42.2 o C (84.0 o F to 108.0 o F). Display range: ± 0.2 o F in the Monitor mode and in a water bath per Welch Allyn Laboratory Accuracy: document number 90565-000. Meets the proposed ASTM clinical test criteria.
  • Page 7: Basic System Description

    The Model 675 instrument has a key in the connector receptacle to disallow any but Model 675 probes. The probe covers are unchanged from previous models and are compatible across all of Welch Allyn and Diatek thermistor based thermometers. Welch Allyn’s thermistor based probes can be identified by color...

  • Page 9: Probe Initialization/Self Tests

    With an instrument that passed the Instrument Reset/Self Tests section, install the probe connector first (with the Diatek or Welch Allyn logo showing) and then fully insert the probe shaft into the storage channel. Observe the display of the probe type. For Model 670, this probe type display will be very brief (less than 1 second.) For Model 675 Oral probes, the probe type will be displayed for about 10 to 15 seconds or possibly...
  • Page 10: Normal Mode

    Welch Allyn, Inc. If the display goes blank after the probe type display, the probe has passed its tests and the instrument is ready for use. Do not withdraw the probe during this self test. If the display shows an error code (such as E5.4), the probe is suspect.
  • Page 11: Monitor Mode

    Monitor mode is also useful in testing the accuracy of the combined probe/instrument system when the probe can be warmed to a known temperature, as with a Welch Allyn Model 9600 Calibration Tester or in a water bath.
  • Page 12: F/C Switch

    Welch Allyn, Inc. button turns on the backlight only for the duration of the button press and then at the end of a Normal mode temperature, the reading will display with the backlight for 5 seconds. Note: When a temperature is recalled, the mode in which it was obtained (Normal or Monitor) will be shown independent of the present setting of the mode switch.

    “r X.X” where “X.X” is a number such as 1.8. This can be helpful when discussing operation with Welch Allyn customer support. 8. Press the Backlight/Recall button once to advance to the repeating display test. This is the same display test as initiated when batteries are first installed.
  • Page 14: Preventative Maintenance

    Welch Allyn, Inc. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE The following preventative maintenance is recommended to maximize uninterrupted service on the Model 670 SureTemp and 675 SureTemp 4 Thermometer: Units which are in service on a regular basis should have the following preventative maintenance performed every 6 months: Visually inspect the thermometer for physical damage which might cause future product failure.

    2 minutes to the final temperature. The reading on the thermometer must be within the range specified on the 9600. Refer to the Model 9600 Operation Manual for complete instructions. Note: All Welch Allyn and Diatek thermometers (thermistor and infrared ear thermometers can be checked in the Model 9600.) If you are having problems with the use of the Model 9600, refer to the Troubleshooting section in the Model 9600 Operation Manual.
  • Page 17: Theory Of Operation

    Technical Manual THEORY OF OPERATION Technical Overview The heart of the Model 670 and Model 675 is comprised of three custom integrated circuits which provide most of the microcontroller and analog circuit functions. All control and display functions are governed by the microcontroller (U2), all analog interfacing to the microcontroller, probe, horn and backlight is provided by U1, and operating parameter data is handled by the EEPROM U3.
  • Page 18: Probe Enhancements

    Welch Allyn, Inc. Probe Enhancements The Model 670 and Model 675 series thermometers have the capability to detect probe type - oral vs. rectal. This allows the oral temperatures to be as fast as possible (10 seconds in the 670 and 4 seconds in the 675) by using different operating modes based on probe type.
  • Page 19: Normal Mode, Model 670

    Technical Manual Normal Mode, Model 675 The Oral probe is pre-warmed using a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller to 33.9 C (93 F) upon extraction from the storage channel. When the probe is first extracted and colder than 33.9 C, the pulse widths are at a maximum percentage ON vs.
  • Page 20: Reset/Self Tests

    Welch Allyn, Inc. When the reset signal is complete, the microprocessor launches a series of self checks which include RAM test, ROM test, EEPROM test, instruction set test, self calibration tests (PTB test, hi cal, low cal), probe warmer circuitry tests, probe test, battery voltage test and ambient temperature test. Any failures here will cause a specific error code to be displayed to assist debugging.
  • Page 21: Battery Voltage Reading

    Technical Manual the discharge current but constitutes a very small constant DC resistance so it has no effect on results. Its only purpose is for RFI suppression. C3, C10, C11, C12 and C13 are also only for RFI, and ESD purposes. In Monitor mode a calibration cycle, where each of the fixed resistors is measured by the A/D function, is performed once every second.
  • Page 22: Probe Warming (675 Oral Probes Only)

    Welch Allyn, Inc. Probe connector installation does not “wake” the instrument up. When the probe shaft is stowed, the probe switch places voltage on U2 pin 23 via R24. This “wakes up” the processor which then reads the RAM flag and sees that the probe logic lines are indicating a probe is connected.
  • Page 23: Eeprom

    Technical Manual Once the probe has been brought near 33.9 C (93 F), the pulse widths are reduced to maintain this temperature. This is when the display switches from the all segments display test to “OrL” indicating that the unit is ready for placement in the mouth. Note: Do not confuse this with the displays during probe characterization, where “OrL”...
  • Page 24: Backlight/Temperature Recall

    Welch Allyn, Inc. The momentary backlight switch (S4) pulls processor pin 39 low. R19 acts as a pull up to return this line high when not in use. This line is also run to test connector J3 pin 6 to allow automated testing of this function during factory test.
  • Page 25: Error Code Table

    Technical Manual Non-recoverable errors are generated from internal test failures that are catastrophic (or from promoted recoverable errors). The error code and any appropriate icon will be displayed along with the “[X]” Instrument Malfunction icon. The only way to continue at this point is to reset the electronics by removing the batteries. NOTE: The error codes E2.1, E2.3, E3.0, E3.1, E3.2 and E4.1 can sometimes be caused by a faulty probe.

    R3, R5 and R8, but as long as the proper type and tolerance resistors are used (0.1%, as supplied by Welch Allyn), the unit will remain within specifications. Replacement of the LCD frame is somewhat difficult due to the need to “heat stake” the assembly while under pressure to assure proper compression of the elastomeric connector.
