General Information
Introduction
This service manual provides the technical information required for repair and
maintenance of the Huntleigh Diagnostics Baby Dopplex 4000 and Baby Dopplex
4002.
1.2
Servicing Policy
Product Description
General
The Baby Dopplex 4000 and Baby Dopplex 4002 comprise a main unit (which
can be either free-standing, trolley or wall-mounted), two transducers (US* and
Toco). A patient event marker and a FECG legplate (optional). *BD4002 is
supplied with 2 US transducers.
Main Unit
This houses the printer and electronic circuitry - digital and analogue signal
processing, audio, display and power supply systems.
Signals from the transducers are processed and displayed on the large LED
displays. The ultrasound signal is also amplified, and output via the integral
loudspeaker. A volume control provides adjustment of sound level as required.
Processing for the FECG signal is also included.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) displays the system menu and other
information. Various parameters can be selected and/or changed as necessary
using the adjacent controls.
Also mounted on the control panel are controls for volume up/down, print
start/stop, Toco zero and clinical event marker.

Transducers
The transducer connectors are colour coded to indicate function: the
US/FECG connector is red, the Toco connector is blue.
The transducers are held in place by elasticated straps.
Patient Event Marker
This is a hand-held push-button which is pressed by the patient when she
feels fetal or uterine activity.
1.4
The patient and clinical event markers are distinguished from each
other on the paper, patient at the bottom of the FHR grid and
clinical at the top.
The Baby Dopplex uses Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices (ESD's) in its
manufacture. The damage they suffer when handled incorrectly may be catastrophic.
More often and potentially even worse, the damage may be partial or latent, seriously
impairing the reliability of the unit.
Due to the nature of the components used within the Baby Dopplex, special
precautions must be taken to avoid damage to the circuitry. Static damage may not
be immediately evident but could cause premature failure.
The Baby Dopplex must only be dismantled and serviced within an ESD protected
area (EPA) as defined by CECC00015 (published by CENELEC) to avoid damage to
the assemblies.
1.5
Construction
The main unit comprises five PCB's, the main PCB, display PCB, PSU, end of paper
PCB and rear panel connector PCB. All boards with the exception of the PSU are
populated with surface mounted components.
The toco transducer consists of a termination PCB and a strain gauge.
The ultrasound transducer contains a single PCB, a multi element piezo crystal array
and a circular termination PCB.
The FECG transducer contains a single PCB and isolation amplifier with two scalp
electrode connections and a legplate disk for a maternal connection.
All electromechanical and through hole components are serviceable using standard
tools and soldering techniques, provided that anti-static precautions are always taken.

Functional Testing
BD4000, BD4002 Main Unit
Switch the unit on by pressing the on/off switch at the back of the unit to the on
position(I).
The Baby Dopplex displays will illuminate and you will hear a click from the
loudspeaker. The message Huntleigh Diagnostics appears for an instant while the
unit carries out a self-test.
Inspect the transducer cables and plugs for signs of damage and physical condition of
the transducers.
The ultrasound transducer face should be free from marks and the toco boot
undamaged. Remove any gel from the transducers if present.
Open printer tray, unit should display Paper tray open and remove paper pack.
Close paper tray, unit should display End of paper. Refit paper pack ensuring that the
shiny side is uppermost. This sensitive side can be easily marked with a fingernail.
Plug in the ultrasound, toco and event marker transducers, set the printer to 3cm/minute
(menu option) and start the unit printing.
Press the patient event marker switch and observe the arrow at the bottom of the
printout.
Press the clinical event marker on the display panel and an arrow should appear at the
top of the printout.
Increase the volume using the up/down controls on the front panel and flex cable on the
ultrasound transducer at the transducer and plug ends checking that no crackling is
heard.
Replace the ultrasound transducer with the FECG leg plate. The unit should fast feed
for a few seconds if the printer is still running when the ultrasound transducer is
removed, and then continue printing.
Ensure that the FECG text appears at the bottom of the FHR scale on the trace.
3.2
Ultrasound Transducers
Reconnect the ultrasound transducer and input a signal by placing it in the palm of the
hand and stroke the back of the hand approximately twice per second.
The display should indicate a rate of around 120 BPM after a few seconds. Continue
this for one minute and check for a corresponding line on the fetal heart rate trace.
Too strong a signal from an adult heart can overload the unit and
result in false counting.

The signal quality will vary during this test and can be observed in the top right hand
corner of the LCD display. The four bands are illuminated for a good signal and
progressively extinguish as the signal deteriorates. Repeat for FHR1 and FHR2
inputs using front panel to select audio channel (BD4002 only).
3.3
Toco
Place the toco transducer on a solid surface with the rubber boot uppermost and level.
Press the zero button on the front panel. Holding the toco transducer steady, flex the
cable at the transducer and plug ends. Check the UA loading display and printout to
ensure that there is no deviation from the zero line.
Depress the toco rubber boot gently and release, repeat this several times. Check that
the UA display registers the change and returns to zero after a short delay.
With the rubber boot still uppermost and level, reset the zero then place a 100g
weight in the centre of the boot.
The shape of this weight is important and the contact area on the rubber boot should
be 12mm diameter maximum. The UA display should indicate 80% +/-5%.
FECG Mode

Remove the weight after 30 seconds check for return to zero and turn the printer off, the
printer should fast feed a blank section.
Compare the printout with the examples shown above, checking for print quality,
date/time stamp, event markers, ultrasound, toco trace and mode (i.e. US/FECG).
3.4
Reconnect the FECG legplate. Connect the patient terminals to an Fetal ECG simulator
setting the voltage to between 25m V and 2mV. Only one FECG transducer can be used
at any one time. Use of an adult ECG simulator may cause erroneous readings.
The ECG rate should be set between 30-240 and checked across its range.
3.5
Connect two BD4000 units together using the connection lead supplied with the twins
kit. The monitor with the cable end marked '1' causes the unit to be the LOCAL unit
while the other unit defaults to REMOTE.
The display on the LOCAL BD4000 should display Remote FHR = in the top line of
the text display.
Connect an ultrasound transducer to both units and input a signal on the REMOTE unit
by stroking the ultrasound transducer.
The REMOTE unit LCD should display 'Twins Remote Unit' and the printer should be
inoperative.
The FHR should be displayed on both the REMOTE LED and LOCAL LCD displays.
Set the printer on the LOCAL unit to print and with a signal to the REMOTE unit, a
corresponding trace should be printed.
When full width paper(210mm) is loaded, the LOCAL unit will print two FHR grids
one above the other and one toco trace.
With the normal paper(150mm) fitted, the two FHR traces are overlaid on one grid, and
identified periodically by the letters 'R' and 'L'.

Technical Description
The Doppler Principle
The Baby Dopplex uses the Doppler principle for non-invasively monitoring
movement within the body.
The Doppler principle states that if a signal is transmitted at a fixed frequency and is
reflected by a moving body, the frequency of the received signal will be shifted. An
increase in frequency results if the reflector is moving towards the
transmitter/receiver, and a decrease results if moving away from the
transmitter/receiver. The amount of frequency shift is proportional to the velocity of
the reflector relative to the transmitter/receiver.
In the Dopplex range, a fixed frequency ultrasonic signal is transmitted from the
transducer into the body. This is reflected from, for example, the fetal heart. The
signal is reflected from the heart and is received by the transducer. Due to the
movement of the fetal heart, a frequency shift results, which is proportional to the
fetal heart velocity.
5.2
The Baby Dopplex ultrasound transducer contains a transmitter and receiver. In use,
the transducer sends out a pulsed ultrasonic signal, generated by the piezo-ceramic
transmitter crystals, at 1.5 MHz.
This signal is scattered by blood cells or any other interface such as skin, muscle
layers, organs, walls of vessels etc. A small proportion of the scattered signal will be
reflected back and detected by the receiver.
By demodulating the received signal (removing the high frequency carrier) the
Doppler shifted component (i.e. the difference between the transmitted and received
signals) can be produced.
With typical target velocities found in the human body, this Doppler shift signal falls
within the audio frequency range. It can therefore simply be amplified and heard
through a loudspeaker.
It is important to remember that the sound you hear is an artificial sound, the
frequency (pitch) of which is proportional to the velocity of the moving target.
It is not the real sound made by the fetal heart.
14
Issue: 2 Draft

614365
5.3
The Doppler audio signal is amplified and filtered. It's amplitude is then regulated after
passing through a low-pass anti-aliasing filter. The signal is then sampled by the
microcontroller in order to calculate the fetal heart rate.
5.4
The BD4000 and BD4002 will annotate the fetal heart trace towards the top of the
contraction channel when a fetal movement is detected.
This movement is derived from low frequency Doppler signals from the Ultrasound
Transducer.
The FMD can be enabled via the front panel and its sensitivity set.
Refer to the user manual for further information.
5.5
FECG
IUP
In some markets Intra Uterine Pressure measurements are made as an alternative to the
external Toco transducer supplied as standard.
Patient electrical isolation is provided by an adaptor box plugged into the Toco socket
and a corresponding waveform is printed on the contractions trace either shown in
millimetres of Mercury (mmHg) or kiloPascals (kPa).
The pressure sensor is either inserted directly into the mother using the Intran Plus IUP
400 Disposable IUP System (Utah Medical Products inc). Alternatively using the
SensoNor SP844 pressure sensor and a saline filled catheter system. Refer to user
manual for further information.

US/FECG Input, balanced signals from the ultrasound transducer are fed into the
differential amplifier which converts them to single ended mode.
The US signal is then low-pass filtered and fed to the FMD section for further
filtering/amplification and also to the high-pass filter.
This bandpass filtered signal is then level controlled then boosted to drive the speaker.
It is also fed through a sharp low-pass anti-alias filter before arriving at the AGC input.
This DAC based stage allows the micro to regulate the ultrasound signal before
sampling.
US Timing Logic, the master oscillator for the ultrasound system is also located on the
main PCB analogue section.
This 1.5MHz carrier is first amplified before being fed to the ultrasound transducer and
the rear connector PCB.
The timing logic controlled by the micro sets the ultrasound transmit timing and fully
synchronises the system in the twins ultrasound mode.
FECG, the FECG leg plate output signal is low-pass filtered then fed to the AGC
circuit. In FECG mode the ultrasound signal is disabled and the AGC used to regulate
the FECG signal amplitude before sampling.
An unfiltered version of the FECG leg plate output signal is also fed to the micro and
sampled.

Transducer Type Detect, is used to differentiate between ultrasound and FECG
modes.
A probe code circuit detects the connection of an ultrasound transducer and signals
this to the micro.
The micro then opens or closes the relevant analogue switches depending on the
mode selected, to route the appropriate signals through to the A/D converters.
A similar system is used to detect IUP/Toco transducers.
Toco/IUP Input, a differential amplifier converts the balanced output from the
transducer to single ended mode suitable for micro A/D sampling. A sense line
detects when an IUP system is connected.

regulates the intensity of the printout.
The strobe width is controlled by the microprocessor.
Temperature Sense, this allows the micro to assess the temperature of the print head
by means of a thermistor in the print head. This will vary as the monitor prints and
with ambient temperature.
Strobe width is adjusted to regulate print density.
Stepper Motor Driver, processes the information from the data bus and converts this
to a form acceptable to the stepper motor.
Stepper Motor, drives the printer mechanism.
Paper Width Detector, the paper width switch detects if 150mm or 210mm paper is
fitted.

It is also fed through a sharp low-pass anti-alias filter before arriving at the AGC input.
This DAC based stage allows the micro to regulate the ultrasound signal before
sampling.
US Timing Logic, the master oscillator for the ultrasound system is also located on the
main PCB analogue section.
This 1.5MHz carrier is first amplified before being fed to the ultrasound transducers.
FECG, the FECG leg plate output signal is low-pass filtered then fed to the AGC
circuit. In FECG mode the ultrasound signal is disabled and the AGC used to regulate
the FECG signal amplitude before sampling.

Transducer Type Detect, is used to differentiate between ultrasound and FECG
modes.
A probe code circuit detects the connection of an ultrasound transducer and signals
this to the micro.
The micro then opens or closes the relevant analogue switches depending on the
mode selected, to route the appropriate signals through to the A/D converters.
Probe Detect, detects the presence of one or two US/FECG transducers allowing the
micro to monitor the correct channels as required.
Toco/IUP Input, a differential amplifier converts the balanced output from the
transducer to single ended mode suitable for micro A/D sampling. A sense line
detects when an IUP system is connected.
A probe code circuit detects the connection of an external contractions or IUP
transducer and signals this to the micro.

Print Head, is a solid state thermal array of heater elements that print onto thermally
sensitive paper.
Strobe Control, the strobe control varies the strobe width to the print head, which
regulates the intensity of the printout.
The strobe width is controlled by the microprocessor.
Temperature Sense, this allows the micro to assess the temperature of the print head
by means of a thermistor in the print head. This will vary as the monitor prints and
with ambient temperature.
Strobe width is adjusted to regulate print density.
Stepper Motor Driver, processes the information from the data bus and converts this
to a form acceptable to the stepper motor.
Stepper Motor, drives the printer mechanism.
Paper Width Detector, the paper width switch detects if 150mm or 210mm paper is
fitted.
Paper Detector, this detects end of paper. The printer will stop and a message will
appear on the LCD when the paper tray is empty.
Tray Open Detector, detects when the paper tray is open and stops printing.
Both sides of the paper tray must be latched shut for normal printing.

BD4000/BD4002 Transducers
US1 Ultrasound Transducer
Timing Logic, is driven by the control and carrier signals fed from the main unit.
This logic controls the transmitter and receiver range gating.
5V Regulator, the 5V regulator is supplied from the +10V line.
Range Gate Control, is used to reject any unwanted signal caused by reflections and
contact noise.
Transmitter Output, the output is pulsed, the timing of which is controlled by the
timing logic section.
Range Gate Switching, the signal from the ultrasound head is selected by the range
gating section to ensure that the receiver circuitry is not enabled during the transmit
period, this is switched on after a suitable period to reduce unwanted signals.
Demodulator, a reference signal from the main oscillator is used to demodulate the
received signal.
Filter Network, the output from the demodulator is low pass filtered to remove any
unwanted noise.
Output Buffers, to minimise noise, a balanced output is used.
Ultrasound Faceplate, comprises a multi element array with 7 crystals connected in
parallel.

Patient Connections, these follow the standard three node connection pattern
commonly used in FECG monitoring.
Instrumentation Amplifier, this is used to amplify the FECG signal. An
instrumentation amplifier is used as it is very important that this stage has a very high
common mode rejection ratio due to the small FECG signal that is presented with
large common mode noise and maternal signals.
Isolation Amplifier, to maintain patient safety should an electrical fault occur, an
isolation amplifier is used as a barrier to avoid excess leakage through to the patient.
Power Supply, this is used to provide a 15V supply to the isolation amplifier. A +5V
supply is derived from the +10V input. The +5V supply is used in conjunction with
the -10V line to provide the isolation amplifier with the 15V required.
Signal Conditioning, is used to smooth and amplify the signal from the Isolation
amplifier for further processing by the main unit.
The unfiltered signal from the isolation amplifier is also provided.

Static electricity is generated when two materials move against one another. The
voltage generated depends on the materials generating the electricity, the speed of
movement, humidity and rate of discharge. All man made materials generate static,
such as plastic coffee cups, plastic bags, binders and folders, all of which are likely to
be within the working area.

Static electricity is generated very easily, and is only felt by us when we discharge the
built up charge rapidly by touching a grounded object such as a grounded door
handle. The voltages felt by us are as high as 3kV, but only 20V is necessary to
damage some components. Voltages as high as 35kV and current spikes of 40A have
been known.
The damage to the component, or assembly can be immediate or latent. Latent
damage is not immediately obvious but can lead to the circuitry subsequently failing
or becoming erratic.

Protective Measures
To protect devices (ESDs) from the unwanted effects of ESD, two key measures must

CAUTIONS
This equipment contains static sensitive devices. Refer to
Appendix A for recommended anti-static handling precautions.
It is essential that these procedures, or equivalent, are adopted
to avoid static damage to the circuitry.
Due to the high density tracking and small size of components,
extreme care in handling the PCBs must be taken at all times.
When soldering, take care to ensure that minimum heat is
applied to the boards and components for the minimum time
necessary to ensure high quality joints. Inspect the area around
repairs for solder splashes and bridges. Refer to Appendix A for
details of recommended soldering procedures.

15 Appendices
15.1 Appendix A
A.1 Special Handling Procedures
The PCB assemblies used in the main unit, toco, FECG and ultrasound transducer
contain electrostatic sensitive devices. These may be permanently damaged by
electrostatic potentials encountered in routine handling of the assemblies during
servicing.
We therefore recommend that all servicing be carried out in a specialised handling
area (SHA) as defined by CECC00015 (published by CENELEC) to avoid damage to
the assemblies.
A.2 Recommended Soldering Equipment for Rework
The following should be used for all soldering operations carried out on any Dopplex
product in servicing:
Soldering Iron: 'Mini' type iron, temperature controlled to 375C with fine tip
(typically 0.8mm(1/32")) earth bonded. e.g.Weller EC3100D-ESP.
Solder: SN62 type solder with multi cored flux type RA conforming to QQ-S-571e
(US federal specification). e.g. Multicore 'smart wire'.
