3.5.12 Activation and Installation of ISE Electrodes (optional)
Activation of Na, K and Cl Electrodes
Prior to use, new Na, K and Cl electrodes need to be activated on the day before the
electrodes are installed. REF electrode needs not to be activated before use.
NOTE
Ref electrode cannot be activated.
Exercise caution and avoid drastic vibration when installing or removing electrodes,
especially Cl electrode.
Tools and materials: 2mL serum, 30mL ISE buffer solution, 2mL or 3mL disposable
pipette
Operating Procedure:
1 Take out ISE electrodes from the package and wipe off the liquid on the
electrode surface.
2 Remove the sponge from the electrode case and put the electrodes in it for
activating.
NOTE
Do not remove the cap on the electrode connector to prevent liquid ingression.
Two electrodes can be put simultaneously in an electrode case for processing.
3 Add 0.5mL serum into the flow cell to fill the entire measuring channel.
3-34
4 Add about 25mL buffer solution to the electrode case until the electrodes get
soaked completely. Keep the electrodes soaked overnight.
5 Before installing the electrodes, clean them with deionized water and dry them
for later use. If the measuring data are unstable after the electrodes are
preprocessed for quite a long time, perform the Clean Electrodes procedure.
NOTE
If there is not enough time to activate the Na, K and Cl electrodes, install them
directly on the ISE module. After the installation, run 20 ISE tests with serum sample
and reject the test results so that the electrodes can quickly enter normal working
status. Recalibrate the electrodes to confirm their performances. You are
recommended to follow the standard activation procedure and leave the ISE module
enough time for getting steady.

4.11 Photoelectric Unit
4.11.1 Functions
Chemistry analyzer is a typical precision instrument which features in optics,
mechanics, electronics and logarithm. The spectrophotometer is one of the key
components of the instrument and determines directly the precision and accuracy of
measurement by the system.
The BS-800/BS-820 inherits the technology of reversed optics of holographic
concave flat-field gratings. The holographic concave flat-field gratings are used for
optical dispersion and imaging. It can not only simplify the optical design to compact
the optical structure, but also eliminate the stray light. A combined light passing
through the entrance slit projects on the PDA(Photodiode Array) via the concave
flat-field gratings. One or multiple light-activated elements on different positions
receive the monochromatic light at certain wavelength. During operation, the
photometric system controlled by the computer receives the electric signals produced
by the light-activated elements of corresponding wavelength and then converts them
into absorbance. In case the spectrum is defined, the absorbance at multiple
wavelengths can be calculated quickly.

Please remove the reaction carousel carefully to protect the reaction cuvettes.
After removing the optical assembly, place it in the package, and then bring the
package back or mail it to our company for repair.
Do not touch the lamp housing after removing the lamp. In case of touching, please
clean your hands with clean ethanol-moistened cloth or gauze.
Use a new lamp to align gains of each channel after replacing the optical assembly,
to avoid strong light of the lamp.
Do not lose the washers on the supporting post when removing the optical assembly.
Each supporting post has the same quantity of washers of the two types, and the
quantity should be determined by the actual requirement.
Replacing steps
1 Switch off the power of the analyzer.
2 Remove the mixer from mix station and the cuvette wash station and put them
in place, to avoid any bend.
3 Remove the top cover of reaction carousel and all the side plates; remove the
lamp and the top cover of ISE, to make the heat chamber of the reaction
carousel easy to take out. Rotate the reagent probe to the sample aspiration
position, and rotate the sample probe to the position over the sample carousel.

please exit the Alignment window after the process complete. Then the system
can be used after homing. (Note: The lamp should be kept on for more than 10
minutes before adjusting the photoelectric gains.)
6 If some value of water blank AD still greater than 60,000 after adjusting the
photoelectric gains, then repeat step 3 to step 5 to re-adjust the light intensity
according to the difference between water blank AD measured during
photoelectric gain adjustment and 60,000 by the ratio of 0.1V : 1,500AD, until
the measured value of water blank AD is less than 60,000.If there are still some
values fall out of the range after adjusting the voltage to 11.0V, then there may
be some problems with photoelectric collection board.
4-134
NOTE
Before analyzing, you need to adjust the voltage and keep the lamp on for more than
three minutes.

5.7 Power Supply System
5.7.1 Description of Power Supply System
As shown in the figure below, the AC power supply passes through the main power
switch and then comes to the AC drive board, which then divides the power supply
into three parts and provides them for the BA40 power supply assembly, 24V/6A
power supply board and 12V/30A power supply board. The 110V/220V
transformer circuit is only used on instruments powered by 110V power supply. In
this circuit, the 110V AC power supply is transformed to 220V and then used to
power the AC pumps on the instrument.

6 Hydropneumatic System
6-1
6.1 Overview
The Hydropneumatic system of the instrument includes the pneumatic part and
hydraulic part.
The major function of the pneumatic part is:
To provide vacuum for the cuvette wash station, sampling unit and ISE unit.
The major function of the hydraulic part is:
To provide the whole unit with deionized water via the water supply unit.
To provide wash solution (water and detergent) for the cuvette wash station and
probe units.
To discharge waste fluid produced during measurements via the drainage
module.
This chapter describes the working principles and repairing methods of the
Hydropneumatic system.

6.4 Removing and Installation of Hydropneumatic
Components
This section describes removing and installation methods of the Hydropneumatic
components, and provides schematic diagrams and pictures of components for
service engineers to refer.
6.4.1 Overview
When an alarm is displayed on the operating software, service engineers can analyze
the instrument status and finally locate the failure source, and if necessary, replace
the failed part or component. Generally, service engineers are not recommended to
remove the electric devices, such as pumps, solenoid valves, clog detection device,
syringes, etc. Only when both hardware and software are confirmed normal but the
Hydropneumatic alarm still remains are service engineers suggested to remove the
relevant device and then analyze or replace it.
Prior to removing Hydropneumatic components, make sure that all pumps and
solenoid valves of the Hydropneumatic system have been turned off, and both the
analyzing unit power switch and main power switch have been placed to the OFF
position.

9.3 Check the refrigerant in the reagent circulation
system
9.3.1 When to do
The instrument is primed with the refrigerant by the manufacture. However, the
liquid level may become lower due to some reasons for example the vibration in
transit results in air bubble drift. Therefore, when installing the analyzer, check if the
analyzer is primed full with the refrigerant.
The service engineer checks the refrigerant in the circulation tube when performing
the yearly maintenance. If the refrigerant is found to be insufficient, the engineer will
add it. Meanwhile, the filter at the injection port of the reagent compartment needs
to be taken out. If necessary, wash it.
2 Use a pair of tweezers to remove the filter at the reagent injection port and wash
it with water. (Refer to 9.2 for the structure of the filter)
3 Use a flash light to visually check the refrigerant level from the air vent and
prime port of the reagent compartment. If visual check is not allowed due to
the environment, use a cotton swab to sense the refrigerant level from the air
vent and prime port. Make sure that the refrigerant level is not lower than the
center line of the horizontal connector tube. The center line of the tube is about
15mm away from the top of the connector.
4 If the refrigerant level does not meet the requirements, fill more refrigerants
according to the steps for priming.
9-11
5 When the priming is completed, reinstall the filter at the injection port.
6 Reinstall the screw choke plug back at the air vent and injection port of the
reagent compartment.

9.4 Clean the lens of the optical module
9.4.1 When to do
The lens of the optical module have been used for 12 months.
NOTE
When removing the reaction carousel, pay attention to the relative position between
the probes and reaction carousel, and avoid breaking the cuvettes.
Use the absorbent cotton swabs to perform the operation in case the swab fibers
stick on the lens and affect the transmission of light.
When wiping the lens, do not dip too much ethanol on the cotton swab(No ethanol
drop is seen on the cotton swab ) in case redundant ethanol residue affects the
transmittance of the lens. If two much ethanol remains on the lens, please use
tissue paper to absorb it.
When wiping the lens, please follow the same direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise)
in case the dust or dirt may remain on the surface of the lens.
How to do
1 Close the software and power off the analyzing unit. Remove the reaction
carousel.
2 Use absorbent cotton swab to dip a little absolute ethyl alcohol or medical ethyl
alcohol and wipe the two lens of the optical module. When wiping the lens,
please follow the same direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise).
9-13
3 After wiping the lens, check if there is ethanol residue, stain, or fingerprinted. on
the surface. If yes, re-wipe them. If there is water or ethanol residue on the
surface of the lens, please use the dry absorbent cotton swab to absorb it.
4 Reinstall the reaction carousel and wash station. Power on the analyzing unit and
start up the operating software.
5 After the lamp is steady, access lamp check and cuvette check through the
following path: utility=>maintenance=>maintenance=>lamp check/cuvette
check. When the maintenance is complete, ensure that the energy of the
photometer and the light transmittance of the cuvette should meet the operation
requirements.

9.5 Replacement of the wearing parts of waste pump
(P07)
9.5.1 When to do
If the waste pump (P07) has been in service for 12 months or more than 2000 hours
or if such failures as leakage, insufficient flow, abnormal noise, etc. occur to the
waste pump, then replace its wearing parts.

3 Disconnect the pipe of P07 and P08 at the smaller end (on the smaller pipe side)
of the transfer connector as shown in the figure:
4 Dismantle the upper cover of the pump box. Remove the waste pump together
with the conversion board. Place them in an open place away from the
instrument. Then remove the connecting conduct on the inlet-outlet connector
of the pump. Do not loosen the connector when removing the connecting
conduct. The following figure shows the waste pump and conversion board
assembly:
5 Remove the four screws on the pump head as shown in the following figure.
9-16
6 After the screws are removed, dismantle the upper and lower cover of the pump
head. Take out the two valve plates and lock rings. Dispose them as waste. See
the following figure:
7 Lift the rim of the iris diaphragm and pinch it with two hands. Rotate it
anti-clockwise and take it out as shown in the following figure: Note: The fixing
screws of the iris diaphragm have metal washers. Do not get them lost. If the
washers drop into the pump body, take them out by turning the pump upside
down. When installing the new iris diaphragm, use the dismantled washers again.
8 The parts that need to be replaced after dismantlement include: two valve plates,
two lock rings and one iris diaphragm as shown in the following figure:
9-17
9 Replace the old parts with the new ones. First install the diaphragm. When
installing it, install the metal washer on the screws. Then align the screws with
the mounting holes. Pinch the rim of the iris diaphragm with two hands. Turn it
clockwise until it is fastened.
Tips: You can put the pump upside down when installing the iris diaphragm .In
so doing, the installation will be easier and the washers are not easy to fall off.
10 When the iris diaphragm has been installed, install the two valve plates and two
lock rings to the corresponding positions.
11 Reinstall the upper and lower cover of the pump head. After the reassembly, the
gap at joint is even. If there is a big gap between the upper and lower cover or
the gap at joint is uneven, it indicates that the valve plate may be installed in a
wrong position. Readjust the position of the valve plates. After the pump head is
assembled, install the pump head on the pump body.
9-18
NOTE
Before installing the pump head on the pump body, ensure that the iris
diaphragm is placed at the center of the lower dead point. The lower dead point
refers to the lowest position of the iris diaphragm.
12 When tightening the screws, screw up any two diagonal screws first.
13 During installation, ensure that the inlet and outlet mark faces the inner side of
the pump body(toward the motor) The screwdriver's torque is 1.37Nm.
14 Replace another pump head following the same installation methods. After the
replacement is completed, connect the new conducts pipe to the pump
connector. Do not loosen the connector during this process otherwise the waste
leakage may occur.
15 Reinstall the P07 pump assembly into the pump chassis but do not install the
upper cover; Connect the inlet/outlet conduct pipe of P07 with the original
connector.
NOTE
The inlet on the pump head is connected to the outlet conduct pipe of the waste
collector; the outlet on the pump head is connected to the conduct pipe on the
hydropneumatic inlet/outlet panel.
L-IN is connected to the smaller end of the conduct pipe transfer connector at
the bottom of the low concentration waste collector; H-IN is connected to the
smaller end of the conduct pipe transfer connector at the bottom of the high
concentration waste collector.
L-OUT and H-OUT are respectively connected to the smaller end of the transfer
connector of the high concentration and low concentration conduct pipe on the
inlet / outlet panel.
16 When the guide pipes have been connected, check again if the guide pipes are
correctly connected to their corresponding IN or OUT port. If not, the liquid
waste may be primed back.
17 After the guide pipes have been correctly connected, reinstall the pump chassis
and the guide pipe of P08. Reconnect the cables of P07 and P08.

NOTE
When smearing the screw adhesive, smear a little on the screws and then put
the screws into the screw holes. Do not drop the screw adhesive on the parts
like diaphragm, crank, etc. (If the screw adhesive drops on the parts, wipe the
parts clean immediately. )
9 Install the new valve plate on the press head. Align the locating holes of the
valve plate with the locating posts on the press head. Ensure the mark point
faces outward.
10 Reinstall the valve plate and press head on the pump head upper cover. Align the
locating posts on the press head with the inner locating holes of the pump head
upper cover. Place the valve between the press head and the pump cover.
11 Reinstall the upper cover on the pump head. After the installation, the gap at
joint is even. If there is a big gap between the upper and lower cover or the gap
at joint is uneven, it indicates that the valve plate or the diaphragm may be
installed in a wrong position. Readjust the positions of the valve plate or the
diaphragm.
9-24
NOTE
Before the pump head is installed on the pump body, ensure that the diaphragm
is installed at the center of the lower dead point. The lower dead point refers to
the lowest position of the iris diaphragm.
When tightening the screws, screw up them diagonally.(Torque:0.8 Nm)
Make sure the inlet/outlet of the pump faces the inner side of the pump body
(on the motor side)
12 Replace another pump head by adopting the same methods. After the
replacement, check if the conduct pipes at the inlet/outlet connectors are
correctly connected. Ensure that the conduct pipes are not disconnected or not
connected loosely .Otherwise, leakage may occur and the required vacuum
degree can not be reached.
13 Install back the pump in the pump chassis Do not install the upper cover.
Connect the conduct pipe at the inlet of P08 with the corresponding connector.
Note: Do not connect the pipes incorrectly otherwise the system can not
establish the vacuum and the pump or the vacuum container may be damaged
due to high pressure.
2 When the test is completed, install the pump upper cover and then the rear
panel of the instrument.

9.7 Replacement of the auto wash transfer pipe
9.7.1 When to do
When the auto wash transfer pipe has been in service for 12 months or such failures
as leakage, vacuum deficiency, clogging, etc. occurred to the pipe, replace it.
2 Unplug the old transfer pipe on the phase 1 wash probe. Dispose it as waste.
9-26
3 Use the intubation fixture (BA80- J39-01) to insert the Teflon pipe into the new
transfer pipe (The Teflon pipe is inserted into the bigger end of the new transfer
pipe till the center position of the transfer pipe.) The intubation fixture is shown
in the following figure.
4 Insert the phase 1 wash probe into the smaller end of the transfer pipe till the
center position of the transfer pipe.
5 Follow step 2 to 4 and replace other phase's transfer pipes (14 in total)
Note: Do not unplug all the old transfer pipes at one time. Replace the pipes one
by one in case they are mixed up.
2 Perform the diluted wash cuvette procedure. Observe the cuvette auto wash
prime/aspirate system. Ensure that no leakage occurs to the transfer pipe joint
and that the liquid does not overflow the cuvettes.
3 If leakage occurs to the transfer pipe joint or the liquid overflows the cuvettes,
stop washing cuvette with diluted solution. Check the connection of the transfer
pipes in the cuvette auto wash prime/aspirate system. Find out the failure and
retest the system until it works normally.

9.8 Replacement of the concentrated wash solution
filter
9.8.1 When to do
When the concentrated wash solution filter has been in service for 12 months or
such failures as leakage, no assumption of the concentrate wash solution, clogging,
etc. occurred to the filter, replace it.
2 Open the right front door. Take out the ISE buffer container, concentrated wash
solution container and diluted wash solution container. See the following figure.
9-28
NOTE
Before removing the containers, disconnect the corresponding float cable and
avoiding pulling it.
Disconnect the CPC connector at the outlet of the diluted wash solution
container. When removing the conduct pipe, make sure the solution does not
flow out in case it pollutes the panel.
3 Use a cross screwdriver to remove the small panel (as shown in the above figure)
to expose the disk-like filter.
4 Use the cutting pliers to cut the binder at the two ends of the filter. Do not
scratch the black transfer pipe (049-000213-00). If it is damaged, replace it.
5 Unplug the black transfer pipes at the two ends of the filter. If the Teflon pipe
slides out of the transfer pipe, use the fixture BA80-J87to insert the Teflon
pipe into the smaller end of the transfer pipe(3mm-5mm). See the following
figure.
6 Insert the bigger end of the transfer pipe into the fluke and fasten it with the
binder.
7 Reconnect the wire of the three containers' float in step 2. Place the three
9-29
containers in the original places. Put the float into the relevant container. Restore
the connection of CPC connector at the outlet of the diluted wash solution
container. Put the biggest conduct pipe in the pipe system of the diluted wash
solution container into the container. Extend the other two conduct pipes(one is
1/8 inch transparent pipe and one Teflon pipe ) outside the container to connect
an above 5 L container.
2 Follow above-mentioned step 7, take out the concentrated wash solution pipe
(Teflon pipe) and the water supply pipe (1/8 inch transparent pipe) from the
diluted wash solution container. Connect an above 5L container to the outlet in
case the laboratory is contaminated.
3 Power on the instrument.
4 Make the diluted wash solution container's low float OFF. Start auto dilution.
5 Wait for about five minutes or wait till the liquid flows out the Teflon pipe. It
indicates the priming of the concentrated pump is completed.
6 Lift the high float of the diluted wash solution container. Wait for 33.5 seconds
till the auto dilution stops.
7 Put the Teflon pipe,1/8 inch pipe and 1/4 inch pipe into the diluted wash
solution container.
The Teflon pipe does not deliver the liquid continuously but in a period of
33.5 seconds. In each period, the liquid flows out from the Teflon for six
seconds. Check specially if the liquid flow is normal.
If the liquid flow is abnormal, check if the parameters configured by
operating software are normal.
Select cuvette wash station in the maintenance -> Parameter Configuration.
Inquire P05 Turn-on Time(should be 6.0 ) and Dilute Period(should be
33.5 ) See the following figure:
Ensure the two parameters are correct. If so, the replacement is correct.
Otherwise check the filter pipe system till it works normally.
9 Install back the small panel.
