blood aspirating syringe, and then DP1 aspirates the pre-determined amount of
reagent and dispense the reagent into DIFF bath. DP2 and DP3 both aspirate certain
amount of reagent and then dispense the DIFF and BASO samples into DIFF and
BASO baths.

Mix: mix the sample with reagent by jet flow produced when dispensing the sample
and by using the mixing bar in DIFF and BASO bath.

Clean: clean the bath with fluid in DIL cistern through energizing fluidic valve SV17
and pinch valve PV11 and PV12.

Waste drainage: drain the waste with WC1 vacuum by energizing SV30 and SV31.

3.3.4 RBC/PLT Channel

3-12
Fluidic System

Detection parameters: RBC and PLT

Diagram information: RBC histogram and PLT histogram

Dilution ratio: 1:18000

Metering volume: 300l

The function of RBC channel is to count RBC and PLT in blood sample, the method adopted is
impedance method. During the detection, blood sample needs to be diluted to the ratio of
1:18000, which is hard to achieve with a single dilution, so the second dilution needs to be
conducted. First dilute the sample to the ratio of 1:433 and dispense it in to the premix bath;
and then aspirate the 1:433 sample back into the SRV and redilute it to the ratio of 1:41.6,
finally dispense it into RBC bath to form the 1:18000 sample.

RBC/PLT Channel Disposition


Aspirating and metering of sample and reagent: First dispense the sample that is
measured by SRV through 2.6ml metering pump DP8 and SV22 into RBC premix
bath, aspirate the sample that is diluted for the fist time with 1ml metering pump, and
then dispense the diluted sample into RBC counting bath through metering pump
DP8, SV22 and SV05.

Mix: bubble mix and jet flow mix;

Clean: add diluent into the RBC counting bath through DP8, SV22 and SV05 to clean
the bath; add diluent in to the premix bath through DP6 and SV23 to clean the bath;

Waste draining: RBC premix bath drains waste by WC1 vacuum and SV29; RBC
counting bath drains waste by WC1 vacuum and SV36;

3.3.5 HGB Channel

Clean: dispense diluent into the HGB bath through DP7 and SV19 to clean the bath;

Waste draining: drains waste by WC1 vacuum and SV35;

3.3.6 Fluid Feeding and Draining Channel


Fluid feeding and draining channel includes DIL cistern, FCM cistern, waste cistern WC1, WC2
and WC3. See Figure 3-8 for the fluidic system connection. DIl and FCM cistern units both
have a three-way valve and a pneumatic pinch valve apart from the cistern. The three-way air
valve switches pressure for the cistern. Under pressure (DIL cistern: 0.07Mpa, FCM cistern
0.16Mpa), the cistern feeds fluid to the fluidic system and provides pressure as a driving force;
under vacuum, the three-way air valve helps to energize the pinch valve, the cistern is then
filled with fluid (from the diluent container). WC2 is an open container with air pressure; its
outlet is connected to WC1 through pneumatic pinch valve PV1. Energize PV1, waste in WC2
flows to WC1. WC3 is a closed container; its outlet is connected to WC1 through pneumatic
pinch valve PV6. Energize PV6, waste in WC3 flows to WC1, meanwhile WC3 stores vacuum
for RBC counting, and RBC bath and volumetric tube cleaning.WC1 also has a three-way air
valve and a pneumatic pinch valve. The energizing/de-energizing of the air valve switches the
pressure of WC1 between pressure (0.07Mpa) and vacuum (0.04Mpa). Under vacuum, WC1
can gather waste in all channels; under pressure, it helps to energize PV2 to drain waste into
waste container. The inlet of waste pump is connected to the waste draining outlets of all
channels; its outlet is connected to waste container.
The corresponding channels of each cistern, waste cistern and waste pump are marked in
Figure 3-8.

3.3.7 Sampling and Blood Dispensing Channel


Sampling and blood dispensing modules include: SRV and its controlling cylinder, peripheral
cleaning channel, probe wipe and whole blood aspirating syringe. The function of blood
dispensing and sampling channel is to aspirate certain amount of sample into SRV, complete
sample metering through the rotation of SRV, and then dispense certain amount of sample into
corresponding baths by metering pumps. The function of peripheral cleaning channel is to
clean the sample that is spilled out when SRV is rotating and avoid sample from leakage.
Probe wipe cleans the interior and exterior of sample probe.

3.3.8 Shutdown Cleanser Cleaning Disposition


Cleanser cleaning drive: the cleaning drive is the pressure of 0.07MPa in the
cleanser cistern and whole blood aspirating syringe, each is for a different cleaning
area. 0.07MPa pressure cleans all baths and flow cell; the syringe cleans SRV and
sample probe;

Cleanser cleaning procedure: energize fluid valve SV13 and the cleanser control
valves of all baths, dispense certain amount of cleanser into the baths by pressure to
clean them.

Figure 3-16 BASO measurement fluidic status under open vial whole blood mode

3.4.2 Open Vial Predilute Measurement Cycle


Measurement process

The open vial prediluted measurement cycle is completely the same as open vial whole blood
measurement cycle; see 3.4.1 for the detailed process;
The difference between the two modes: the sample under predilute mode is diluted according
to certain ratio outside the instrument; while the sample under whole blood mode is
unprediluted whole blood.

3.4.3 Autoloading Whole Blood Measurement Cycle


Sampling mode

Autoloading measurement mode meets the requirement of automatic analysis of massive


samples. It realizes functions like delivering tubes in batches, loading tubes, fetching tubes,
automatic sample aspiration, etc.;

4.2 Signal Processing Board


4.2.1 Introduction
The signal processing board of BC-5800 auto hematology analyzer drives the sensors,
amplifies/filters/adjusts the primary signals of sensors and converts them into digital signal
pulses, which are then identified and stored. Moreover, this board monitors the operating
voltage, aperture voltage and WBC blank voltage (for detecting lamp installation and
cleanliness of the flow cell), and controls aperture zapping, consistent current source of
aperture electrode, drive current of HGB LED, digital pot, etc.
Section 4.2 of this manual is the servicing and troubleshooting guideline of the signal
processing board.

4.2.2 Board Composition


The signal processing board consists of the analog and digital parts. The analog part includes
the power supply, WBC/RBC/HGB signal channels and power monitoring channel. The digital
part deals with FPGA and its interface connection, and pulse signal identification.

Function
Amplifying and collecting (LAS,MAS) WBC signals

Amplifying and collecting RBC/PLT signals

See below Figure 4-7 for the block diagram of the signal processing board:

4-21
Hardware System

Figure 4-7 Block diagram of the signal processing board

Description
Amplifying and collecting (LAS,MAS) WBC signals

The signal processing board first eliminates DC components from the WBC signals coming
from the pre-amplification board, and then amplifies, filters, buffers the signals, which are then
converted to digital signals, and sent to the FPGA for pulse identification.

Amplifying and collecting RBC/PLT signals

The signal processing board amplifies (low noise, 2nd level and gain), buffers and A/D
converts the RBC signals, and then input the digital signals to FPGA for pulse identification.

Detecting and collecting HGB signal

The signal processing board converts the current signals of the HGB reaction bath to voltage
signals, then amplifies and converts the voltage signals to digital signals, which are then input
to the FPGA for inquiry of the main board.

Identifying pulse signals and storing cell information

While converting analog signals to digital signals, the FPGA identifies pulse signals and stores
the identified cell signal peaks in the SRAM.

Controlling each analog channel and configuring signal amplification

Through the I/O interface of FPGA, the signal processing board controls several switches
(including consistent current source switch, zapping voltage switch, consistent current
source/zapping switch and HGB LED switch) and the volumetric board, and configures the

4-22
Hardware System

amplification of the WBC/RBC/PLT/HGB channels as required.

Communicating with SPI

Through the SPI interface, the main board can control the signal processing board and
sampling, set/search for parameters, read data, etc.

Monitoring voltage

The signal processing board monitors the operating voltage, WBC/HGB blank voltage and
RBC aperture voltage through the shared A/D with the HGB board.

Zapping the aperture

When the analyzer runs for a specific period of time or the RBC bath is blocked by foreign
matters, the signal processing board can zap the aperture, removing the dirty and foreign
matters.

Interface Definition
There are 8 interfaces on the signal processing board, which are LAS, MAS, RBC/PLT, HGB,
POWER, JTAG, VMB and MCB, as shown in Figure 4-8.

Hardware System

Description
Serial communication

The driver board consists of 6 MCUs (as shown in Figure 4-13) which include the mid
control unit (main MCU in Figure 4-13), sample transport unit, mix & pierce unit,
syringe unit, temperature control unit and other units.

The driver board communicates with the main board (UART) through the mid control
unit, receiving control instructions from and sending response instructions to the
main board. Its communication parameters are:

Baud rate: 38400bps

Start bit: 1bit

Data bit: 8 bits

Stop bit: 1bit

Verification mode: even parity check

The mid control unit communicates with other 5 MCUs through the extended serial
ports of FPGA (EP1C3T144C8), sending control instructions to and receiving
response instructions from other MCUs. Its communication parameters are:

Start bit: 1bit

Baud rate: 19200bps

Data bit: 8 bits

Stop bit: 1bit

Verification mode: even parity check

Driving step motors

The driver board drives the following 6 step motors:


Mix motor
Wipe block motor
Autoloader loading motor
Autoloader feeding motor (also acting as the unloading motor)
Whole blood aspiration motor
Sample injection motor
The step motors are driven by bipolar consistent current and are monitored by corresponding
position sensors.

Controlling DC motors

The driver board has 2 DC motor circuits to control the mixing in the DIFF and BASO baths.
The MCU sends control signals to the MCU on the sample testing board, which then controls
the DC motor drive chip to start/stop the motors. The photocoupler detects the pulse signals of
motor speed and sends it to the MCU of the drive board through sample testing board. The
MCU then calculates the rotation speed of the motors.

Driving valves and pumps

4-37
Hardware System

The driver board controls 96 pumps and valves. The mid control unit sends the control signals
of SV1-SV88 to the pump/valve buffer of FPGA. As the data in the valve/pump buffer changes,
the FPGA outputs the valve/pump signals to the deserialize chip 74HCT595 to control the drive
chip IRLML2502 of valves and pumps, thus realizing the opening and closing of the valves and
pumps. The control signals of SSV89-SV96 are passed to the deserialize chip 74HCT595 by
the sample transport unit, the drive circuit is the same as SV1-SV88.

Controlling temperature

The driver board controls the temperature of the 3 following parts:


Reagent preheating bath
Reaction bath
Laser diode
Comparing measured temperature with the target temperature, the MCU turns on/off the
heater via PID algorithm to control the temperature correctly.

Controlling the built-in scanner

The built-in scanner scans the barcodes of tubes and tube racks. The driver board controls the
built-in scanner via FPGA. FPGA communicates with the scanners (UART) via the extended
serial port.

Controlling the pneumatic unit, laser, buzzer and indicators

The pneumatic unit provides air force for the main unit and is driven by the pneumatic control
board. The driver board sends only the control signals of relay, which are converted and sent
to the pneumatic control board through the interface board
Lamp control circuit controls the laser on/off, monitors the feedback voltage and adjusts the
digital pot of the laser control board. The laser on/off signals are converted and sent to the
laser control board. The feedback voltage signals are amplifies and passed to the driver board,
which converts the signals to digital signals and then sent them to the MCU for calculation. The
driver board communicates with the laser control board via the SPI interface to control its
digital pot. The driver board sends data to the laser control board without getting response
from it.
The control signals of buzzer and indicators coming from the FPGA are converted and sent to
the indicator board to control the buzzer and indicators.

Monitoring system status parameters

The driver board detects system temperature, pressure and voltage; the main board sends
inquiry command to obtain corresponding system status parameters.
Temperature detection refers to the detection of ambient temperature and laser diode
temperature. The sensors of ambient temperature and laser diode temperature are mounted
on the interface board and laser control board respectively. The temperature signals coming
from the sensors are sent to the A/D converter after I/V conversion and amplification. The
digital signals are then passed to the MCU, which calculates the temperature value based on
the signals.
The pressure sensor is mounted on the pressure detection board. 5 pressure circuits measure
the pressure of the vacuum chamber (2 channels), pressure chamber (2 channels) and sheath
fluid (1 channel) respectively. The pressure signals coming from the pressure sensors are

4-38
Hardware System

converted to digital signals, which are then passed to the MCU.


The voltage circuit controls all power supplies (24V, 12V, 5V and 3.3V) on the driver board.

Monitoring reagent status

The driver board monitors the reagent status through the passive float switch with 15
monitoring channels.

Interface Definition
There are 36 interfaces on the driver board. See Figure 4-14 for their respective positions.

Figure 4-14 Interface layout of the driver board

Installation
Install the driver board as the above-mentioned procedure in reverse order.

Verification
1. Check the driver board to ensure all connections are correct.

2. When the analyzer is off, connect the analyzer to the power supply and start it up.

3. Check whether the indicators D2, D3, D12, D13, D14 and D16 on the driver board
flash. You can also check the indicators by entering the self-test screen and
performing a self-test. If the self-test is passed, it indicates that the driver board is
replaced successfully; otherwise you must troubleshoot the board.

4.3.5 Troubleshooting

Error analysis and processing


Failures related to the driver board are identified and handled by the error codes, which are
reported to the host control software by the driver board. Some error codes are handled
automatically by the host control software, while some need to be judged manually by users

4-62
Hardware System

and service engineers. When an error is reported, the error No. and error name are provided
by host control software. The recommended action to remove the error may appear on the
corresponding screen as the software help information.
When checking an error, ensure the connection wires related to the error is properly connected.
For example, when "AL: load motor to start position failed" is reported, check whether the
connection between the sample transport assembly and the driver board is stable, whether the
plugs at ends are well connected (if improper connection is identified, shutdown the analyzer,
disconnect it from power supply, and then reconnect), whether the connection inside the
sample transport assembly is proper, whether the label on the sensor connecting wire
corresponds to the sensor position and whether the label on the motor connecting wire
corresponds to the motor position (disassemble the sample transport assembly to check, see
Chapter 5 Replacing the Sample Transmitting Assembly for the procedure).
After the improper connection possibility is excluded, remove errors according to the
recommended action in the following table. If an error remains after the cause is found and
components get replaced, you need to replace the driver board.
The following table shows the error codes, error names and the recommended actions to
remove errors.

Troubleshooting special errors


Troubleshooting the feeding unit counter error

4-72
Hardware System

"AL: feeding unit counter error" is reported when feeding motor feeds twice consecutively yet
the readings of the left and right counter of the feeding unit do not change. When this error is
reported, troubleshoot it according to the steps that follow.

1. Check whether tube racks on the loader tray enter the feeding flow line after they are
loaded in position. Some racks may not enter the flow line since they are so long that
the claw can not get them. In case of this, install racks of appropriate size and start
the autoloading flow again according to the prompt on the software screen.

2. Check whether tube racks get blocked in the feeding flow line. This may be reported if
autoloader feeding motor cannot push the racks due to distorted racks or wrongly
assembled sample transport assembly. In case of this, turn off the analyzer,
disconnect all the power cords and pull the racks manually on the flow line to judge
the possible causes. If it results from distorted racks, install appropriate racks. If it
results from wrongly assembled assembly, remove and repair the assembly.

3. Check whether tube racks get blocked and the autoloader feeding motor cannot push
the racks due to other racks tilted on the unloader tray or improper tray manufacture.
Check whether the rack length is qualified and whether the sheet-metal near the
unloader unit is correctly fabricated.

4. If the current rack is not unloaded and the unloader assembly stops the movement
while previous racks were moved to the unloader tray and the tray is not full, do as the
prompt on the software screen: stop the autoloader, remove all racks on the unloader
tray, place a rack on the loader tray and then start the autoloader. If this is successful,
the cause is the same with that listed in step 3. If this error is still reported, turn of the
analyzer, remove the sample transport assembly, replace the left and right
photocouplers in the autoloader feeding position and check whether the baffles can
work normally.

5. If the AL: feeding unit counter error cannot be removed by the process above,
the error occurs due to the failure of driver board components. Replace the driver
board.

Troubleshooting the abnormal pneumatic pressure:

1. If all vacuum and pressure of the system are zero, check the connection between the
pressure board and the driver board/pneumatic tubing, and whether the pneumatic
unit starts normally;

2. If all vacuum and pressure of the system are abnormal and with the too high or too
low pressure value at the same time, check whether the air compressor can work
normally. See Chapter XX for a reference of the troubleshooting method;

3. If only one pressure value is abnormal, check the related regulator and airway for
leakage.

4. If the airway system is normal, the error is due to the pressure sensor failure in the
driver board. Replace the driver board.

5. See the following table for the output voltage and pressure of the pressure sensor:

its unit is V.

Troubleshooting the abnormal mechanism action

For the abnormal actions of system mechanism, service engineer needs to observe and
troubleshoot them. In case of these errors, troubleshoot them according to the recommended
actions listed in the table above and the procedure below.

1. Check whether the related units (such as motors and cylinders) can move. If the units
do not move, the error is due to the executive component problems, such as
disconnected motor, airway leakage or the failure of corresponding air valve to
cylinder. If the errors mentioned above are excluded, the errors occurs due to the
driver board failure. Replace the driver board.

2. If the units can move, check whether the movement is in position and whether units
are blocked by lines or other units during the movement. For transmissive
photocoupler, if the baffle enters 2/3 or above of the photocoupler, it is baffled and the
movement is in position.

3. For the cylinder movement, check whether the movement is too slow. Abnormal
0.25MPa pressure or oversized throttle in the airway connecting the cylinder may
lead to abnormal movement of cylinder and cause failure.

4. If errors remain after unit movement problems are excluded, consider photocoupler
failure. Replace the photocoupler.

If errors still exist after the photocoupler is replaced, the cause is failure of components on the
driver board. Replace the driver board.

4.9 Pre-amplification Board, Laser Control Board and


Volumetric Board
4.9.1 Introduction
In BC-5800 Auto Hematology Analyzer, the pre-amplification board is used for photoelectric
conversion and signal amplification for two channels of scattered lights (LAS low angle;
MAS high angle) from the flow cell. The laser control board enables the laser tube to emit
stable laser with adequate intensity. The volumetric board determines the measuring time for
RBC/PLT count.
Section 4.9 of this manual is the servicing and troubleshooting guideline of the
pre-amplification board, laser control board and volumetric board.

4.9.2 Board Composition


Function
Pre-amplification board

The pre-amplification board consists of low angle board (LAS) and high angle board (MAS).
The LAS board converts the forward light signal to electric signal, and then amplifies it. The
MAS board converts the lateral light signal to electric signal, and then amplifies it. There is
positive / negative voltage converting circuit on the pre-amplification board.

Laser control board

The laser control board mainly drives the laser semiconductor. It is required that the laser
output is between 3mW and 5mW, the laser power is stable, and the intensity is adjustable.

Volumetric board

The volumetric board determines the measuring time for RBC/PLT count. That is, the board
provides the signals of count starting and count ending.
Description
Refer to Section 5.9.2 for function description of the three boards.

Interface Definition
The functions of pre-amplification board, laser control board and volumetric board are not so
extensive, so there are only a few interfaces on the boards. See Figure 4-31 - Figure 4-33 for

4.10.5 Troubleshooting

4.10.6 Error analysis and processing


As the main function of the sample transport board is to transfer the connection wires among
scanners, motors and the driver board, it does not process any electrical signal, so when
errors in scanners or X/Y direction motor are reported, check whether the sample transport
board is securely connected to the sample transport unit and the driver board.
After the possibility of poor connection is excluded, errors of scanners and motors can be
cleared according to the troubleshooting method of the driver board.

4.11 Sample Detecting Board


4.11.1 Introduction
In BC-5800 five-part differential hematology analyzer, the sample detecting board mainly
controls the on/off and rotation speed of the DIFF and BASO DC stirring motors and detects
whether the aspirating volume meets the test requirement in the course of autoloading test.
The principle of DC motor on/off and rotation speed control is the detecting of motor on/off
control signal from the driver board by MCU. If motor start signal is detected, the motors will
start up, otherwise they will stop. When the motors are rotating, the MCU detects the speed
pulse signals from motor sensors instantly; the rotation speed of the motors can be obtained
by MCU calculation. And then the duty ratio of the motor driving voltage can be adjusted
according to the rotation speed to realize control over the range of the rotation speed.
The principle of aspirating volume detection is the sample detecting board finishes de-bounce
and level converting of the signals detected by the sensors, and finally send out the LVTTL
level signal which meets the need of the input signal of the driver board.
Section 4.11 of this manual is the servicing and troubleshooting guideline of the sample
detecting board.

4.11.2 Board Composition


The sample detecting board consists of sample detecting circuit and closed loop control circuit
of motors.
The sample detecting circuit includes the circuit which obtains the current signals of sensors,
I-V converting circuit and level converting circuit;
The closed loop control circuit of motors includes the circuit which obtains the rotation speed
pulse of motors, MCU control unit and motor driving circuit.

Function
DIFF and BASO DC stirring motor on/off and speed control;
Sample signal detection during piercing and aspiration (pre-blood);
Interface connecting and compatibility.
See Figure 4-44 for the functional block diagram of the sample detecting board.

4-137
Hardware System

Figure 4-44 Block diagram of the sample detecting board

4.11.3 Description
Motor on/off control:
The sample detecting board monitors the motor on/off signal from the driver board, when start
signal is detected, the motor driving circuit turns on, otherwise it is off.
Motor speed control:
The sample detecting board divides the signals sent from the motor speed detecting
photocoupler into two paths. One is sent to the driver board for the monitoring of motor speed;
the other is sent to the MCU on the sample detecting board for closed loop control of motor
speed: the MCU can calculate motor speed using its internal timer, judge motor speed range,
and adjust the control signal duty ratio of the motor driving circuit, so that the duty ratio of
motor driving voltage can be adjusted and the rotation speed of motors can be stabilized.
Detecting and converting pre-blood signals
The sample detecting board finishes the I-V converting, voltage following and level converting
of the signals sent from the pre-blood sample detecting sensors, and finally sends the signals

Troubleshooting special errors


Troubleshooting rotation speed abnormity of the stirring motors

First check whether the abnormities in BASO and DIFF stirring motors are reported at the
same time. If yes, check whether J3, J4, J5, J7, J8 and J21 are properly connected with cables.
If the cables are well connected, check whether MCU indicator D8 on the sample detecting
board flashes. If it flashes normally, that means there is no problem with the power supply. If
D8 is always on, then the MCU U2 is damaged, the sample detecting board needs to be
replaced. If D2 is off, check the voltage of TP5 with a multimeter to see if it is within the range
of+5V0.25V. If it not within the range, that means something is wrong with the input power
supply, please check its connection cable with the driver board; if the voltage of TP5 is normal,
then the power conversion chip U6 is damaged, the sample detecting board needs to be
replaced.
If speed abnormity is only reported for BASO (or DIFF) stirring motors, please view the speed
of BASO (or DIFF) motors on the self-test screen, if its speed is less than 1200 turns per
second, that means the motors are damaged and need to be replaced. If the speed of BASO
(or DIFF) motors is zero, but they can rotate normally, that means something is wrong with the
photocoupler in BASO (or DIFF) channel. Please check if the photocoupler is covered by dirt, if
yes, clear the dirt. If the error persists after the above operation, that means the photocoupler
is damaged and needs to be replace. If the speed of the motors is zero, and motors do not
move, the BASO (or DIFF) motor driving circuit is damaged, the sample detecting board needs
to be replaced.

4-151
Hardware System

5. If the pressures of the 5 channels are within above ranges, that means the pressure
detecting board is replaced successfully, otherwise troubleshooting it required.

4.12.7 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting abnormal pneumatic pressure

1. If all vacuum and pressure of the system are zero, check the connection between the
pressure detecting board and the driver board/pneumatic tubing, and whether the
pneumatic unit starts normally;

2. If all vacuum and pressure of the system are abnormal and with the too high or too
low pressure value at the same time, check whether the air compressor works
normally. See Chapter 5 (pneumatic system troubleshooting) for a reference of the
method;

3. If only one pressure value is abnormal, check the related regulator and airway for
leakage.

4. If the airway system is normal, the error is due to the pressure sensor failure on the
driver board. Replace the driver board.

See the following table for the output voltage and pressure of the pressure sensors:

5.12.4 Installation
Install the autosampler and auto-mixer assemblies according to the removal procedures stated
above to in reverse order.
Precautions and position adjustment during the installation:

1. Lean the linear guide rail against one side. Note that the stop screw should be
installed first.

2. Make sure the moving unit can move upward and downward/forward and backward
smoothly.

3. After the installation, adjust the initial position of the pincher: Unscrew the two locking
nuts on the front end of the cylinder rods and adjust the connection bushings of
cylinders to fix the pincher position (See Figure 5-109 for how to adjust the pincher).
Then tighten the locking nuts.

5-124
Servicing

Figure 5-109 Pincher adjustment

4. Adjust the left and right initial position of the pincher (Figure 5-110).

Unscrew the locking screws on the swinging arm, startup the analyzer (you may ignore the
mixing motor error reported), enter the Service Debug Mix unit screen, and CLICK
the Init. button for three times so that the swinging arm is on the vertical position. Lean the
swinging arm on the stop baffle to the right, place several pieces of paper between the arm
and the baffle, and then tighten the swinging arm. Initialize the mixing motor again to check the
swinging arm position. The swinging arm should move from the initial position to the stop
position and then return the initial position. When the arm is on the initial position, there should
also be tiny clearance between the swinging arm and the stop baffle so that the arm would not
touch the baffle. If not, repeat the procedures above until the position is proper.

5. Adjust the tube sampling position (Figure 5-111).

After the installation, the autosampler assembly needs to be adjusted to make sure that the
axis deviation of the pierce needle and the sample tube is no greater than 2mm in the diameter
direction. The five holes on the assembly bracket are used to adjust the forward and backward
direction of the assembly, and the four big holes and the pad on the assembly installation bed
are used to adjust the up and down/left and right/around position of the assembly. After the
adjustment, glue and then lock the fixing screws.

Parallel the tube to the pierce needle: Push a tube rack manually on the Y feeding direction,
place an empty collection tube in the clipping position (the position leveling the mixing motor),
enter the Service Debug Mix unit screen, and then CLICK the Mix button to
rotate the tube to the sampling position. Use a ruler to check the parallel of the tube and the
pierce needle in the front and side of the tube. If they are not parallel, adjust the relevant
screws until you see that they are parallel.
Adjust to make the tube and the pierce needle coaxial: Remove the cap and plug from an
empty tube, use a gummed paper to envelop the tubing opening and place the tube into the
rack. Enter the Service Debug Mix unit screen, CLICK the Sample&Mix&pierce
button to pierce the tube, and then CLICK the Return tube button to return the tube to the
rack. Adjust the autosampler unit position through the piercing hole. Repeat the procedures
above if necessary until the piercing hole is in the center of the tube opening.

6.3 Adjustment

After removing any assemblies in the optical system, the system needs to be adjusted. The
adjustment procedure can be adapted according to specific situations of removal.
The adjustment of the optical system can be classified as rough adjustment and fine-tuning.
The purpose of rough adjustment is to collimate all optical assemblies in the system to make
them on the same optic axis so that the system can generate signals quickly when the
operation sequence is detecting standard particles. The purpose of fine-tuning is to ensure
the optical system is in the optimal position. By observing signal waveform with oscilloscope,
the position of the optical assemblies can be subtly adjusted to make the generated signal

6-11
Optical System

meet adjustment standard.


Note: Disposable dust-free gloves must be worn for all operations of the optical
system.

6.3.1 Rough adjustment


Rough adjustment can be divided into the following parts: front light assembly adjustment,
flow cell adjustment, rear light adjustment, rear light collecting diaphragm adjustment and
rear light detecting PD assembly adjustment.
1. Front light assembly adjustment
Adjustment purpose: In horizontal direction, adjust the emitting direction of the front light to
the designed optic axis.
Adjustment principle: the laser beam is distributed symmetrically along the optic axis; when
emitting vertically, the incoming light and the reflected light match together.
Adjustment procedure: first, install rear light assembly, making it close to the positioning
pins (see Figure 6-12), and then collimate the front light assembly and the positioning pins, fix
the fixing screws properly (make sure the front light assembly is close to the optical base
plate and can be turned at the same time), power on the laser, adjust the angle of the laser
assembly to turn the far field spot of the emitting laser vertical. Put the rear light collimating
assembly close to the positioning pins, observe whether the reflected light from the rear light
collimating lens and the incoming light are on the same axis with the hexagonal wrench, turn
the front light assembly slowly to make them match together and fix the front light assembly.
See Figure 6-13

Figure 6-12 Installing rear light assembly

6-12
Optical System

Figure 6-13 Adjusting front light assembly

2. Flow cell adjustment


Adjustment purpose: adjust the flow cell to make its surface be vertical to the incoming
light.
Adjustment principle: when emitting vertically, the reflected light and the incoming light
match together.
Adjustment procedure: turn the flow cell into the optical path (make sure not to put the
aperture detection unit into the optical path), observe whether the reflected light from the flow
cell surface and the incoming light are on the same axis with the hexagonal wrench, adjust
the position of the flow cell slowly to make them match together and fix the flow cell.

Figure 6-14 Rough adjustment of the flow cell

6-13
Optical System

3. Adjustment of the rear light assembly


Horizontal adjustment of rear light position
Adjustment purpose: ensure that the front light and rear light are almost at the same axis.
Adjustment principle: after passing through the nodal point of the lens, the transmission
direction of the light will not change.
Adjustment procedure:
Step 1: take off the rear light assembly, put a piece of blank paper behind the MAS assembly
(at the distance of 20cm), observe whether the spot on the blank paper are symmetrical after
passing through the light splitting lens and the diaphragm of the MAS assembly. Adjust the
screw stem on the MAS assembly to make the spot symmetrical. See Figure 6-15.

Figure 6-15 Horizontal adjustment of rear light collimating assembly

Step2: install the rear light assembly, fix the assembly on the base plate using M4 hexagonal
screws, spring washer and plain washer (ensure that the rear light assembly can be moved
along the pins). Move the rear light collimating assembly horizontally along the positioning
pins and observe the position of the spot on the diaphragm. When the spot is at the center of
the diaphragm (see Figure 6-16 Horizontal adjustment of rear light collimating assembly
completes), fix the M4 hexagonal screws on the base plate.

6-14
Optical System

Figure 6-16 Horizontal adjustment of rear light collimating assembly completes

Step 3: Loosen the 2 M3 hexagonal screws connecting the rear light diaphragm lens
assembly and the orienting assembly slightly to pre-fixing status; see Figure 6-17. Move the
diaphragm lens assembly slightly to turn the spot on the high-angle diaphragm to the center
of the two vertical rulings on the MAS diaphragm; see Figure 6-18. The vertical adjustment of
the diaphragm lens assembly is done; the last step is to fix the screws on the diaphragm lens
assembly.

Loosen the two


screws slightly to
pre-fixing status

Adjusting the diaphragm of the LAS assembly

Adjustment purpose: put the LAS diaphragm symmetrically with the optic axis, select

Optical System

small-angle scattered light by using masking area;


Adjustment procedure:
Step 1: put a piece of rough blank paper at the back of the LAS diaphragm, turn the horizontal
adjusting screws to make the spot symmetric horizontally (see Figure 6-19).
step 2: turn the vertical adjusting screws to make the spot symmetric vertically (see Figure
6-19).

Figure 6-19 Adjusting LAS diaphragm

5. Horizontal adjustment of flow cell position


Before conducting fine-tuning, turn the aperture detection unit of the flow cell into the optical
path, observe the diaphragm of the MAS assembly. When the shadow image of the aperture
distributes symmetrically on the diaphragm, the flow cell has been turned into the optical path.
See Figure 6-20.

Figure 6-20 Adjusting the flow cell

1----Horizontal adjusting rotary knob of


the flow cell

6. Adjustment of the direct light masking diaphragm


After the horizontal adjustment of the flow cell is done, turn the direct light masking
diaphragm into the optical path to mask the most intensive light. Two methods can be used to
judge whether the diaphragm is at the position.

6-16
Optical System

Put a piece of paper (with a line on it) on the MAS diaphragm, make the shadow image of the
flow cell distribute symmetrically by the line; see Figure 6-21. Adjust the direct light masking
diaphragm, when the masked spot distributes symmetrically by the line, the adjustment is
done.

After the adjustment completes, pre-fix the two screws of the direct light masking diaphragm
(see Figure 6-22).

7. Adjusting the rear light detection assembly (low-angle part)

Low-angle PD assembly adjustment

Adjustment purpose: ensure that the PD aperture is at the center of the optical path and the
scattered light can be collected by PD completely;
Adjustment procedure: adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the low-angle PD
assembly so that the center of the spot transmitting from the LAS diaphragm can be received

6-17
Optical System

by the aperture completely (see Figure 6-23)

Figure 6-23 Adjusting small-angle PD assembly

1----Light filtering aperture diaphragm 2----Low-angle spot

High-angle PD assembly adjustment

Like low-angle PD assembly adjustment, high-angle PD assembly adjustment is to ensure


that the spot center is completely received by the aperture (see Figure 6-24).

Spot generated after the


beam passes through the
high-angle diaphragm, the
PD aperture must be at the
center of the spot
Figure 6-24 Collimated spot of front light low-angle PD assembly

After all the above steps, the rough adjustment is almost completed, which can ensure that
each assembly is placed symmetrically by the optic axis. The fine-tuning of optical system is
described below.

6.3.2 Fine-tuning
The purpose of fine-tuning is to make sure that the optical system is at the optimal position so
that it can detect the scattered light of designed angle. Fine-tuning concerns the following
three aspects: (1) the laser beam is focused on cell flow;(2) the center of sample flow and the
spot matches together;(3) adjust rear light assembly so that it can detect scattered light of
designed angle. So the main adjustment points are the axial position of the front light system,
horizontal position of the flow cell and the position of rear light collimating assembly.

6-18
Optical System

1. Adjusting the axial position of the front light assembly


Adjustment purpose: ensure that the focus of laser beam is on the cell flow.
Adjustment procedure:
Step 1: measure the voltage of test point tp2vref on the laser control board to see if it reaches
4V, if not, adjust the adjustable resistor on the laser control board to turn the voltage to 4V;
Step 2: connect TPOUT on the pre-amplification board of low-angle PD assembly (or connect
TP43 LAS_IN on the signal processing board) to oscilloscope channel 1 (CH1); the settings
of the oscilloscope are: voltage: 50mv/div, time: 500ns/div, AC coupling.
Step 3: use standard particle as the detection sample, add 3 drops of Duke (4K-07) 7um
standard particles with 1.5ml centrifugal tube, then add diluent or ion water to turn the volume
to 1ml. Note that the diluted standard particle solution must be used within 12 hours.
Step 4: perform normal open-vial standard particle test, observe signals of oscilloscope
channel 1, meanwhile adjust the axial position rotary knob of the front light assembly (see
Figure 6-28) until the output signals reach the maximum level and are normally distributed,
the pulse width is around 1.3us and is at its lowest level (see Figure 6-26). And then fix the
screws of the front light orienting assembly.

Optical System

Figure 6-26 Signal chart of the front light system outputting standard particles

Note: The sample push cycle of the DIFF channel is 8.5s; in order to simplify adjustment
process and generate signals quickly, you can adjust the front light axial adjusting rotary knob
in advance to turn the distance between the front faces of the front light orienting assembly
and the orienting assembly base to 3mm.

2. Horizontal fine-tuning of flow cell position


Adjustment purpose: ensure that the center of sample flow is at the center of the spot.
Adjustment procedure:
Step 1: perform open-vial standard particle test, observe the peak value of the high-angle
signals of the oscilloscope to see if it is stable;
Step 2: adjust the horizontal position of the flow cell until the peak value of the particle signals
displayed on the oscilloscope turns to the maximum and is even;

Figure 6-27 Horizontal adjustment of flow cell position

1----Horizontal adjusting rotary knob of


the flow cell

3. Fine-tuning rear light collimating assembly and direct light masking diaphragm
Adjustment purpose: 1 ensure that the PD assembly detects scattered light of the designed
collecting angle.

6-20
Optical System

2 ensure the direct light masking diaphragm and the sample flow are coaxial.
Adjustment procedure:
Step 1: connect TPOUT on the pre-amplification board of high-angle PD assembly (or
connect TP44 MAS_IN on the signal processing board) to oscilloscope channel 2 (CH2); the
settings of the oscilloscope are: voltage: 100mv/div, time: 500ns/div, AC coupling.
step 3: perform normal open-vial standard particle test, adjust the rotary knob of the rear light
collimating assembly, and observe signal pulses of the oscilloscope channel 2 (i.e. high-angle
signal pulses); when the peak value of the pulses is turned to its maximum and the signals
are stable, fix the screws of the rear light collimating assembly.
Step 3: switch to channel 1 (CH1), observe whether the peak value of the signals is
200mv10mv; if it is outside the range, adjust the adjustable resistor on the laser control
board to make it fall within the range 200mv10mv.
Step 4: observe whether the peak value of channel 2 (CH2) is above 800mv; if not, adjust the
rotary knob of the rear light collimating assembly. When the peak value is adjusted to the
defined range, check whether it is at its maximum.

4 Validation of the optical system fine-tuning


Step 1: after the fine-tuning is completed, install and connect the optical system to the
analyzer. Select mode: OV-WB-CBC+DIFF. And then perform counting by using 7um
standard particles. After counting completes, enter "Table Review"--"OpAdjust"--"DIFF
channel". Enter 7um CG target value "36" into "CG Target"--"Particle 1 LAS", calculate the
initial DIFF LAS gain.
Step 2: enter "Setup" and "Gain" screen successively, input the initial DIFF LAS gain
obtained from step 1 and set the initial DIFF MAS gain to 20
Step 3: after finishing above steps, select mode "OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" and then start
counting using the 7um standard particles. A standard particle scattergram will be generated
(see Figure 6-28):

Figure 6-28 Standard particle scattergram


Click "OpAdjust" under the "Table Review" section of the main screen, and then click
"Count" in the screen to obtain the particle scattergram parameters of the DIFF channel,
observe whether the parameters are in line with below standards.
LAS 0.1 max width<9.00

6-21
Optical System

MAS 0.1 max width<13.00


Step 4: If only the width of the low-angle standard particles is outside the range, loosen the
screws of the direct light masking diaphragm, run the 7um standard particles and slightly
adjust the direct light masking diaphragm until the waveform of the low-angle signals on the
oscilloscope is stable and the width of low-angle standard particles meets requirement. If
both the widths of low-angle and high-angle standard particles are outside the range and
adjusting direct light masking diaphragm cannot solve the problem, slightly adjust the
horizontal position of the flow cell to stabilize the waveform of signals and make the width of
the standard particles meet requirements.
Step 5: when the above standards of standard particle parameters are met, fix the screws of
the flow cell (see Figure 6-29), the rear light diaphragm and the direct light masking
diaphragm, and then fix the protection cover of the optical system.
Step 6: Re-test using 7um standard particles. The requirements in step 3 must be met. If the
width is outside the range, loosen the screws that were fixed in step 5 and repeat step 4-5.
The adjustment of the optical system is almost done.

Sample Verification
Step 1: select samples
After set up the gain of the above standard particles, select 10 tubes of fresh anticoagulant
venous blood that meet below requirements (within 6 hours after the samples are
collected).The 10 samples must meet below two requirements:
Requirement 1: parameter requirement (parameters on the "Count" screen)

Table 6-1Parameter requirements on normal fresh blood

Judging criteria Technical requirements

Lym% Lym% is between 20 to50
Mon% Mon% is between 3 to8
Eos% Eos% is between 0.5 to8
Bas% Bas% is between 0 to1
No flag for left shift, immature cell, abnormal
Others
lymphocyte or scattergram

These parameters can be observed in the "Table Review" screen ("Count" screen).

If no qualified sample can be found, there are two possibilities. One is the samples of the
hospital are abnormal, for example the hospital is a hematopathy hospital or the hospital only
takes capillary blood. Under this situation, engineers need to get blood sample from other

6-24
Optical System

channels. Another possibility is the analyzer is abnormal and needs to be checked.

Requirement 2: scattergram form requirements

For samples that are qualified under Requirement 1, its scattergram form still needs to be
observed. If the scattergram form is abnormal or the algorithm differential is apparently
incorrect, then the samples are not qualified.
The scattergram of normal fresh blood is shown in below Figure 6-30:

Figure 6-30 Scattergram of normal fresh blood

If the WBC scattergram of normal fresh blood is different from the above figure, then the
sample is also unqualified, for example the border of cell populations is vague, the cell
populations are badly clustered or the scattergram form is loose or with many unorderly dots.
See Figure 6-31.

Figure 6-31 Unqualified scattergram form


Meanwhile, the samples of which the algorithm differential is apparently incorrect are also
unqualified. See Figure 6-32.

Figure 6-32 Scattergram of incorrect algorithm differential

Some samples cannot be differentiated, the parameters of the samples are displayed as "**".
They are unqualified for Requirement 1, so their scattergrams are omitted here.

Step 2: Judgement of status


After Step 1, 10 samples are obtained. Observe the 10 samples under "OpAdjust" screen

6-25
Optical System

(enter the screen from "Table Review") as shown in Figure 6-33.

Figure 6-33 "OpAdjust" screen

Select "Sample Mode" under the "OpAdjust" screen and then click "Calculate", the
parameters of the two types of particles will be displayed in the white box on the right. The
two types of particles are marked with red box in the scattergram. See Figure 6-33.

Repeat the operation on the 10 samples selected from Step 1, if more than 7 samples are
qualified, the analyzer is in normal condition, otherwise it is abnormal. If deviation to the
sample direction is found in all the samples, there must be problem concerning gain setup or
adjustment. Please reset the gain of or fine-tune the optical system.

Particle 1 (the particle in the red box on the lower left side of the scattergram) requirements:

LAS CG range: [49, 57];


MAS CG range: [27, 32];

Particle 2 (the particle in the red box on the upper right side of the scattergram) requirements:

LAS CG range: [103, 112];


MAS CG range: [84, 95];
Note: [ ] represents closed interval, that is the value can be equal to the limits.

If above requirements cannot be met, do as the following steps.

1. Re-calibrate the optical system per the gain calibration procedure.

2. If after calibration, the fresh blood CG range requirements still cannot be met,

6-26
Optical System

fine-tune the optical system again and re-calibrate the gain until the requirements
are met.

3. If the gain adjustment of the optical system succeeds, but the CG position of fresh
blood scattergram is still unqualified, check other components of the analyzer
(reaction bath temperature, reagent condition, stirring motor speed).

6.4 Common Failures of the Optical System

6.4.1 Sample scattergram is abnormal


Failure phenomena
1. The DIFF scattergram of normal fresh blood gets loose, the border between cell
populations is vague or disappears, the distribution of cell scatters is abnormal, and
DIFF differential is incorrect;

2. Run 7um standard particles under "OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode, after counting


finishes, the scattergram is loose or in abnormal form; after going through
"Review"->"OpAdjust"->"Std.Part."->"Calculate", the 0.1max width of LAS and
MAS under DIFF channel is outside the range in 6.3.2 .

Causes of the failures


When all other systems of the analyzer are normal and no alarm is triggered, the main
causes of the abnormal scattergram of normal fresh blood are: flow cell contamination and
flow cell clog. The confirmation and resolving methods are provided below.
Confirmation and resolving method
Flow cell contamination

When the sample scattergram is abnormal and the neutrophil granulocytes in the DIFF
scattergram are divided into two layers, a part of the neutrophil granulocytes are classified as
eosinophilic granulocytes, thus resulting in high Eos# (see below figure), and then the
contamination of flow cell can be confirmed.

Figure 6-34 Sample scattergram when flow cell is contaminated

Improper transportation, storage, usage and maintenance of the analyzer may cause the
contamination of the flow cell. Dust, oil stains or pollutants on the flow cell deform the laser
beam that passes through the flow cell and rests on blood cells, thus resulting in abnormal
scattergram.

6-27
Optical System

Flow cell contamination can be divided into flow cell exterior wall contamination and flow
cell aperture contamination. The phenomena under the two cases are similar. You need to
observe the optical system to confirm the contamination situation, and then take
corresponding measures.

Confirmation method of flow cell exterior wall contamination

1. Open the right door of the analyzer when it is on, remove the top panel of the
analyzer and the top cover of the optical system, you can find there are 1-2 reflected
light spots on the front and back faces of the flow cell as shown in below figure.
When the exterior wall of the flow cell is clean, there is no obvious reflected light
spot.

cell is contaminated

Resolving method

1. Wipe the surface of the flow cell with clean dust-free cloth and absolute alcohol.

2. When the surface of the flow cell is wiped to the extent described in "Confirmation
method of flow cell exterior wall contamination", that means it is clean;

Optical System

3. Perform counting for over five times using normal fresh blood and 7um standard
particles under the "OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode; observe the DIFF scattergram to
confirm the cleaning effect.

z Wipe the exterior wall of the flow cell unidirectionally, do not wipe it back ad
forth;

z Do not touch the direct light masking diaphragm when wiping the surface of
the flow cell.

Confirmation method of flow cell aperture contamination

1. Open the right door of the analyzer when it is on, remove the top panel of the
analyzer and the top cover of the optical system, you can find there are 1 reflected
light spot in the center of the flow cell as shown in below figure. When the aperture
of the flow cell is clean, there is no obvious reflected light spot.

Figure 6-37 The reflected light spot in the center of the flow cell when it is
contaminated

2. Put a piece of blank paper before the high-angle PD assembly (see below figure),
you will find a thin sharp optical ring. When the aperture of the flow cell is clean,
there is only a weak halo.

z When clean flow cell runs out of dilution or is filled with bubbles, you can
also see 1 bright reflected light spot in the center of the flow cell. Before
observe the flow cell, please make sure it is filled with dilution and free from
air or bubble.

Resolving method

1. Enter "Service""Maintenance" from the main screen, select "Flow Cell" from
"Probe Cleanser Maintenance" tab, clean the flow cell using probe cleanser
according to the tips displayed on the screen;
2. After finish maintenance, select "Mode""OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" under the "Count"
screen, run a background counting;
3. Perform counting for over five times using normal fresh blood and 7um standard
particles under the "OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode, observe the DIFF scattergram to
confirm probe cleanser maintenance effect;
4. If the failure persists, perform manual cleaning according to below procedure;
5. Wear clean disposable plastic gloves, connect a long plastic tube to a clean
disposable syringe, and connect a two-way connector to the other end of the tube,
aspirate probe cleanser to soak the tube with the syringe to clean the tubing and the
connector;

6. Fill a plastic cup with certain amount of probe cleanser (or use the probe cleanser
reagent bottle directly).Unplug the waste tube of the flow cell from electromagnetic
valve SV6, connect the tube to the cleaned tube of the above step to make the tube
length suitable for operation. Put one end of the tube into the plastic cup filled with
probe cleanser and place the plastic cup on the base plate of the analyzer as shown
in below figure to facilitate service operation;

Use the cleaned tube of the


above step for connection

Figure 6-40 Tube connection mode


7. Connect the sheath fluid inlet of the rectifier assembly with the syringe as shown in
below figure, then slowly pump the syringe to flush the flow cell channel with probe
cleanser and soak it for 10 minutes;

Optical System

syringe

Figure 6-41 Syringe connection mode when cleaning the flow cell aperture manually

8. Restore tube connection after soaking finishes, run 1 background counting under
"OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode;
9. Perform counting for over five times using normal fresh blood and 7um standard
particles under the "OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode; observe the DIFF scattergram to
confirm probe cleanser cleaning effect.

z Do not plug or unplug fluidic tubing in the optical system, do not put any
fluid (including containers of fluid) into the optical system;

z The syringe can only be pulled instead of being pushed to avoid pollutants
clogging the flow cell channel;

z As the probe cleanser is corrosive to the fluid tubing, do not soak the tubing
for over 10 minutes each time, and the tubing should not be soaked for too
many times.

Flow cell aperture clog

When the flow cell channel is clogged by clots or foreign substances in the fluidic tubing,
stable sheath fluid cannot be generated, thus resulting into abnormal scattergram. The
phenomena are as follows:
1. The sample scattergram is abnormal, and the DIFF scattergram of normal fresh
blood and 7um standard particle is apparently abnormal as shown in below figure;

6-32
Optical System

Figure 6-42Scattergram of sample and 7um standard particle when the flow cell
aperture is clogged

2. When conduct counting under "CBC-5DIFF" mode, open the right plate of the
analyzer, the dropping speed of waste cistern WC2 is lower than normal speed;
3. Open the top cover of the optical system, no problem is found in the optical system.
Resolving method
1. You can solve this problem by referring to the resolving method of "flow cell aperture
contamination", first use the "Maintenance" function of the analyzer, if the problem
persists, conduct manual cleaning;
2. After finish Step 6 of resolving "flow cell aperture contamination", connect the
sample inlet of the rectifier assembly with a syringe as shown in below figure,
slowly pump the syringe to flush the flow cell channel with probe cleanser and soak
it for 10 minutes.

Connected with
syringe

3. Proceed with Step 7 and the following steps of resolving "flow cell aperture
contamination", connect the syringe with the sheath fluid inlet of the rectifier
assembly and finish cleaning and unclogging.

6.4.2 Laser diode current error


Error phenomena
The analyzer alarms "Laser diode current error", and the alarm cannot be cleared or
appears again after being cleared.

6-33
Optical System

Causes of the error


The laser diode is damaged, or its power cord is not well connected or is open-circuited,
which makes the laser diode current outside normal range, thus the failure alarm is triggered.
Confirmation and resolving method
1. Open the right plate of the analyzer when it is on, remove the top plate and the top
cover of the optical system, use blank paper or name card to observe the laser light
spot emitted by the front light assembly;

2. If the spot is not in complete elliptical shape, instead, there are two obvious dark
lines in it, or it is in petal shape, or the brightness of the laser light is low, then the
laser diode is damaged and the optical system needs to be replaced;

3. If the spot shows no obvious abnormity, but is unusually bright, power off the
analyzer, replug the laser power cord and then observe the laser spot. Or check
whether the laser power cord is well-connected or is open-circuited with a multimeter.
If the error is caused by the power cord problem, replace the laser power cord.

z When removing and installing boards, antistatic gloves must be worn.

z Please make sure that power is off and power cord is disconnected when
removing and installing boards.

z Do not plug or unplug laser semiconductor before power is off, or the laser
semiconductor can be damaged.

6.4.3 Standard particle width goes beyond standard


Error phenomena
1. Run 7um standard particle under "OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode, after counting
finishes, go through "Review""OpAdjust""Calculate", LAS 0.1 max width >9.00,
MAS 0.1 max width>13.00;

2. The DIFF scattergram of normal fresh blood is slightly loose, the border between cell
populations can be observed, the distribution of cell scatters is normal, and DIFF
differential shows no obvious error.

Causes of the error


The optical system components are loosened or deformed slightly due to storage,
transportation and usage of the analyzer, the center of laser beam is away from the sample
flow, thus resulting into unqualified standard particle width.
Confirmation and resolving method
1. Check whether the flow cell is contaminated or clogged. Refer to Section 6.4.1 for
detailed operations.

2. After the flow cell is confirmed clean, check whether the light spot on the high-angle
diaphragm is apparently unsymmetrical. See Figure 6-21. If the light spot on the

6-34
Optical System

high-angle diaphragm is apparently unsymmetrical, adjust the optical system per the
method in 6.3.1 .

3. If LAS 0.1 max width is beyond standard, adjust the horizontal position of the direct
light masking diaphragm per the method in 6.3.2 .

4. If MAS 0.1 max width is beyond standard, adjust the horizontal position of the flow
cell per the method in 6.3.2 .

5. After adjustment, run 7um standard particles, make sure the 0.1 max width of
standard particles is qualified.

6. Perform counting for over 5 times using normal fresh blood under the
"OV-WB-CBC+5DIFF" mode, observe the DIFF scattergram to confirm the
adjustment effect.

z The error has nothing to do with the focal length position of the front and
rear light, the diaphragm position and the PD aperture position, please do
not adjust those parts;

z An oscilloscope needs to be used to facilitate the adjustment.

7.4.3 Hardware errors


Refer to Chapter 4 Hardware System for how to troubleshoot each board.
Common adjusting points of the boards are:

Adjustment of volumetric board VR3 and VR4:


Adjusting procedure:

1. Remove the side plate, top plate, main board, and the protective cover of signal
board, and take off the protective cover of volumetric board;

2. Remove the four screws fixing the volumetric board, take out the board without
moving other components. Pay attention to electrostatic prevention. Remove the
glue on VR3 and VR4 to prepare for adjustment;

3. Take off the signal wires of volumetric board and reconnect the brown wire to the
signal board and volumetric board, the 2 indicators on the volumetric board will light
up;

7-19
Troubleshooting

Figure 7-2 Pick out the brown wire

4. After the indicators turn on, set multimeter to measure DC voltage, connect the black
pen-shape detector of the multimeter to TPGND, the red pen-shape detector
monitors the voltage of TP2 and TP3. Adjust potentiometer VR4 and VR3 with
horologic driver to turn the voltage of each test point to 2.55-2.65V, if fails, please
replace the volumetric board; then put volumetric tube into the volumetric board, test
the voltage of VR3 and VR4, which should be 2.90V; if it cannot reach 2.9V, replace
the volumetric tube.

Figure 7-3 Measure VR3 and VR4

5. Lift the latch plate of the connector lightly with nipper and connect the brown wire to
the connector. Make sure that the connector is fixed securely.

7-20
Troubleshooting

Adjusting VR1 of sample detecting board

1. Connect the sample detection board to be tested to sample sensor;

2. Set multimeter to measure DC voltage, the black pen-shape detector is connected to


TPGND, the red detector monitors TP1;

3. Adjust VR1 with the driver (pay attention to the difference between VR1 and VR2),
observe whether the measured values change, and adjust voltage of the test point to
3.50.1V;

Figure 7-4 Measure VR3 and VR4

4. Block the sending and receiving ends of the sensor with non-transparent object, then
the output voltage should be 00.05V; otherwise the sensor is damaged.

5. Finally press the TELFON tube into the sensor slot, the output voltage should be no
less than 1.5V; otherwise the sensor is damaged.

7.4.7 Analyzing and processing common errors


Processing errors of WBC channel
Description: WBC results are low, DIFF/BASO scattergram is abnormal
Error analysis:

7-25
Figure 7-5 Analyzing process of low WBC results

7-26
Troubleshooting

Typical cause of low WBC results: piercing probe clog


Error phenomenon: when conducting repeatability test, the WBC/RBC
results get lower gradually.
When conduct counting under autoloader mode, there is a sequence for piercing probe
cleaning after sample aspiration. After cleaning the probe, some diluent remains in the
aspirating tube, the piercing probe is clogged. If this happens, dispense probe cleanser into
the tube and conduct counting under autoloader mode. If the problem persists, replace the
piercing probe.

Processing errors of RBC channel


Error phenomenon: RBC bubbles, RBC clog, etc.
Error analysis:
The START delay time (n1) and RBC count time (n2) are the mean values of five background
counts, they can be altered in "Setup".
RBC bubble error reporting strategy:
During sample testing: the START delay time < n1-2s or RBC count time < n2-2s, the error
message "RBC bubbles" will be reported;
RBC clog error reporting strategy:
1 Time: the START delay time > n1+2s or RBC count time > n2+2s, "RBC clog" will be
reported;
2 Baseline: the sum of the RBC baseline time that is over the upper and lower limits is greater
than 50 of RBC count time, "RBC clog" will be reported.
The RBC baseline time that is over the upper and lower limits can be viewed in "Special info.".
See below figure

Figure 7-6 Special info.

z The unit of RBC count time is 0.1s and the unit of RBC baseline is ms.

When the sum of the RBC baseline time that is over the upper and lower limits is greater than
50 of RBC count time, there are impurities in the sample or liquid, please check;

5V power is short-circuited
Error phenomenon:
Turn on the power, press the power button, the indicator turns green and then off, the fan of the
analyzer is rotating, but the system does not generate any response.
Troubleshooting
1. Make sure which board causes the error of short-circuited 5V power.

Unplug the power cords of the main board and signal processing board, the power supply
board only provides power to the power driver board, restart the analyzer to see if the error still
exists. If the indicator on the front plate turns green, the error has been removed, otherwise the
error persists. If the error disappears, then the short-circuit of 5V power is caused by other
boards, please go on with Step ; otherwise, the driver board or its peripheral wires or
components are short-circuited, please go on with Step 2.
The power supply board only provides power to the driver board and signal processing
board, restart the analyzer to see if the error still exists. If yes, the error is caused by the signal

Troubleshooting

processing board and its peripheral wires; if no, the error is caused by the main board.

2. Make sure short-circuit occurs inside or outside the board. If it occurs inside the board,
the board needs to be replaced; if it occurs outside the board, check which wire
causes the error.

Unplug all wires of the board that have 5V power signal (excluding the power cord), restart
the analyzer to see if the error is removed. If yes, the error is caused by external wires or
components, go on with below Step ; if not, the error lies with the board itself, remove
impurities (dust or water stain) on the board, restart the analyzer, if the error still exists, replace
the board.
Add a piece of wire each time to connect with the board, if the error occurs, then the
short-circuit of 5V power is caused by the wire added, go on with Step 3; if the error disappears,
turn off the power and connect another piece of wire, and then turn on the power; repeat the
process until the error occurs or all wires are checked.

3. Make sure which component or the wire itself is short-circuited, find out the reason
and eliminate the error.

z Pay more attention to the photocoupler and connection wire of the driver
board.

12V power is short-circuited


Error phenomenon:
Turn on the power, press the power button, the indicator turns green, but the display does not
light up and the fan of the analyzer does not rotate.
Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting procedure is the same as that of the short-circuited 5V power. The only
difference is when judging which wire causes the short-circuit of 12V power; the wires that
have 12V power signal need to be checked.

24V power is short-circuited


Error phenomenon:
Turn on the power, press the power button, the indicator turns green and then off, the display
does not light up and the fan of the analyzer does not rotate.
Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting procedure is the same as that of the short-circuited 5V power. Only the
power driver board has 24V power, so the error is only relevant with the driver board and its
connection wires or components.

7-32
Troubleshooting

z Pay more attention to the WBC bath and its connection wires to see if the
erosion of them causes the short-circuit of 24V power.

Abnormal scattergram - spots scatter all over the scattergram


Error phenomenon:
Abnormal scattergram with spots all over it is generated during measurement of normal
samples. See below figure:

Figure 7-12 Abnormal scattergram - spots scatter all over the scattergram
Troubleshooting
1. Please check whether the diluent container is empty. Sometime the floater does not
report error when the container gets empty;

2. Open the right door, check whether there are diluent in the FCM cistern; if no, prime
the FCM cistern through "Maintenance" screen;

3. If after performing "Prime FCM Cistern", no fluid enters into the cistern, check if the
SV53 is normal. If the counting process cannot start and stop normally, then the valve
must be damaged.

4. If Burkert valve SV53 can open and close normally, then the air valve controlling
pressure and vacuum switching of the FCM cistern must be damaged, GV80 needs to
be replaced.

If vertical lines appear on both sides of the scattergram (see Figure 7-13), that is because air
enters into reagent tubing. Check whether reagent bottles were replaced recently or the
reagent tubing is loose. Then perform background counting for several times, the error can be
eliminated.

7-33
Troubleshooting

Figure 7-13 Abnormal scattergram - vertical lines on both sides

Contaminated flow cell


Error phenomenon:
WBC differential effect gets poorer, neutrophils are not well-clustered, the count of eosinophils
increases. After perform counting using 7um standard particles under OV-WB mode, the
scattergram is not well-clustered, DIFF scattergram shows multiple layers. See below Figure

Adjusting flag sensitivity parameters


Default flag sensitivity has been set for the analyzer in factory; when installing the analyzer,
there is no need to set up sensitivity parameters.
BC-5800has 4 adjustable flag sensitivity parameters, which are "Left Shift", "Immature Cells",
"Abn./Atypical Lym" and "RBC Lyse Resist", their default sensitivity values are 5, 5, 5, and 0
respectively. The adjustable range of sensitivity parameters is 0-10, the lower the value is, the
higher the flag rate. When a flag sensitivity parameter is set to 0, the flag will not be displayed

7-35
Troubleshooting

when testing samples.


We suggest that the service engineer adjust the sensitivity parameters if the following
requirements are necessary in daily use.
The "RBC lyse resist" sensitivity can be set as 5 when the user wants "RBC lyse
resist" flag.
If a user thinks the flag frequency is too low, he can increase the sensitivity
parameter of the flag (The sensitivity parameter should not be greater than 8).
If users do not want too many flags, they want to decrease the sensitivity and would
like to take the risk, the flag sensitivity can be decreased.

z All parameters should not be less than 3 except for "RBC lyse resist".

When the flag sensitivity parameters are within the range 3-8, the flag frequency should be
acceptable. If the flag frequency of a parameter is exceptionally high, and the sample is normal,
then the analyzer itself needs to be checked.
The flag sensitivity parameters can be set as follows:

Login the "Main" screen with the service engineer access level and CLICK the
"Setup" icon to enter into the "Setup" screen.

After entering the "Setup" screen, CLICK the "Advanced" button to enter the
"Advanced" screen.

In the "Advanced" screen, CLICK the "Edit" button under the "Flag Sensitivity", the
edit box of parameter sensitivity pops up (Figure 7-17). Then adjust the setup
parameters of the corresponding flags according to the users requirements. After the
setup is finished, CLICK Ok and quit the "Advanced" screen.

Figure 7-17 Flag sensitivity parameters setup screen

7-36
Troubleshooting

Adjusting of flag sensitivity parameters of the non-diff algorithm


Default non-diff algorithm sensitivity has been set for the analyzer in factory; when installing
the analyzer, there is no need to set up sensitivity parameters.
The non-diff algorithm sensitivity parameter of BC-5800 has two options, which are "Strong"
and "Weak". The default value is "Strong".
If non-diff occurs frequently in daily use and the service engineers cannot solve the problem,
then whether the setting can be modified will be decided by "R&D".
The non-diff algorithm sensitivity parameters can be set as follows:

Login the "Main" screen with the service engineer access level and CLICK the
"Setup" icon to enter into the "Setup" screen.

After entering the "Setup" screen, CLICK the "Advanced" button to enter the
"Advanced" screen.

In the "Advanced" screen, CLICK the pull-down button under the "Non-diff
sensitivity" and the pull-down list of the "Non-diff sensitivity" pops up (Figure 7-18).
Then adjust the setup parameters of non-diff algorithm according to the advice
provided by "R&D". After the setup is finished, quit the "Advanced " screen and save
the parameters.
