The red circled area can be changed. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the
positions shown below and input the values measured in the corresponding blanks.
As to the temperature, please measure with a thermometer at the corresponding
positions and input the values in the blanks.
(1) For M600 disconnect the cable between the switching power supply and M600-
01-E01 board, Sample & Reagent Area when the machine is powered off. Switch
on the main switch of the analyzer, and then check the +24V output of the power
supply.
(2) For M800 disconnect the cable between the switching power supply and M800-
01-E01 board, Sample & Reagent Area when the machine is powered off. Switch
on the main switch of the analyzer, and then check the +24V output of the power
supply.
Measure the +5V and -5V voltage with the black end touching the ground and the
red end to the corresponding measuring holes on the M600-04-E00. Measure the
+48V voltage the black end touching the ground and the red end to the
corresponding measuring hole on the M800-05-E00.
This is a newly added button in our latest software (ver: 1.14.8.8). It is to set the
accepted range for BGW and Light Check (LC). If their values exceed this range,
they will be marked red in the User Software.
For BGW, the recommended value range is 200 to 1200, with the CV less than 10%.
Please note that 10% is only for BGW around 200. If the BGW is over 500, it is better
that the CV is less than 5%.
For LC, the recommended value range is 400,000 to 650,000, with the CV less than
3%.
You can set your own range if the above does not meet your needs.
Picture 5.19
The function of “Min value cuv.” is to test whether there is cuvette is in the chamber
or not. Once the value generated by the PMT is higher than this number, the machine
will determine that no cuvette is in the chamber.

6.1.3.1 M800-05-E04
Picture 6.1.11
There are three sensors in the cuvette loader: Cuvette Loader Sensor,
Cuvete-empty Sensor, Cuvette-out Sensor.
On the M800-05-E04 PCB, there is one emitter of Cuvette Loader Sensor, two
receivers of Cuvette-empty Sensor (U4) and Cuvette-out Sensor (U1) .
Three potentionmeters (W1, W2, W3) are used to adjust the sensitivity of
Cuvette Loader Sensor, Cuvete-empty Sensor and Cuvette-out Sensor
respectively.
6.1.3.2 M800-05-E05
There are two emitters (D1, D2) for Cuvete-empty Sensor and Cuvette-out
Sensor.
Phenomenon:
When loading reaction modules, cuvette loader cannot recognize them and
thus the belt does not move.
Possible reasons:
(1) Cuvette Loader Sensor is not well adjusted.
(2) Cuvette Loader Sensor is broken.
Solutions:
(1) Manually block the emitter of the Cuvette Loader Sensor with a reaction
module and observe the change of the D1 signal light. D1 shall be on when
blocked and off when not blocked. If it dese not change accordingly, adjust
W1.
(2) After adjustment of W1, if D1 still does not change, chances are that the
sensor or the emitter is broken. Replace the sensor or the emitter.
Phenomenon:
There are exactly 6 or more than 6 reaction modules in the loader but the
analyzer alarms “Running out of cuvettes soon”.
Possible reasons:
(1) Cuvette-empty Sensor is not well adjusted.
(2) Cuvette-empty Sensor is broken.
Solutions:
(1) Manually block the emitter of the Cuvette-empty Sensor with a reaction
module and observe the change of the D2 signal light. D2 shall be on when
blocked and off when not blocked. If it dese not change accordingly, adjust
W2.
(2) After adjustment of W2, if D2 still does not change, chances are that the
sensor or the emitter is broken. Replace the sensor or the emitter.
Phenomenon:
There are reaction modules in the loader but the analyzer alarms that reaction
module is used up.
Possible reasons:
(1) Cuvette-out Sensor is not well adjusted.
(2) Cuvette- out Sensor is broken.
Solutions:
(1) Manually block the emitter of the Cuvette- out Sensor with a reaction
module and observe the change of the D3 signal light. D3 shall be on when
blocked and off when not blocked. If it dese not change accordingly, adjust
W3.
(2) After adjustment of W3, if D3 still does not change, chances are that the
sensor or the emitter is broken. Replace the sensor or the emitter.

7.1 Pumps
7.1.1 Diluter pump
7.1.1.1 Introduce
The diluter pump is responsible for transporting system liquid to wash needle and for
reagent (sample) aspiration and injection. It consists of motor,sensor,piston bar,in-let
pipe and out-let pipe (Picture 7.1.1,2). The photoelectric sensor can positioning the
Piston bar during the movement (Picture 7.1.3).
Picture 7.1.1
Picture 7.1.2

⑵ Check whether the cable of sensor is loosen, and plug in the cable.
Problem:
⑴ The plastic screws is loosen.
Solution:
Picture 7.1.6
(2) In Maglumi Service, after clicking to initialize all the movable parts
Picture 7.1.7
(3) Click to initialize the pipettor and then the button to enter
the Adjust Inject interface. In this interface, at first you need to set the aspirate
position as the position where you have already prepared some water, for
example, select the 1st track and 1st position of sample area after you place one
tube of water there, the inject position as the left pipetting area and the volume as
40μL.
Picture 7.1.8
(4)Click several times to prime the tube and needle thoroughly, then
The starter pump is responsible for injecting starters to starter needle. It consists
of motor,interlocks device,sensor,piston bar,in-let pipe and out-let pipe (Picture
7.1.8,9). When the motor moves, it will drive the piston bar in and out under the
action of interlocks device, thus finish aspiration and injection of starters (Picture
7.1.10).The photoelectric sensor can positioning the piston bar during the movement
(Picture 7.1.11).
Picture 7.1.8.
Picture 7.1.9
Picture 7.1.9
Picture 7.1.10
Picture 7.1.11
Note: Since the wrong angle and violent action of loosen or tighten the metal
srews will damage the plastic connector which will lead leakage of the
pump and difficult to repair, so it is very important to be slowly and gently.
Case 1:"Starter_1 inject abnormally. Please shut down the analyzer and check carefully!"
Problem:
⑴ The cable of starter pump was loosen or .
⑵ The cable of sensor was loosen or damaged.
⑶ The motor is damaged.
Solution:
⑴ Check whether the cable of starter pump is loosen, and plug in the cable.
Picture 7.1.12
Make sure START1 PUMP cable,START1 PUMP cable,START1 SENSOR cable and
START2 SENSOR cable are plugged in the right places as shown in Picture 7.1.12.
⑵ Check whether the cable of sensor was loosen, and plug in the cable.
⑶ Change the motor.
Case 2:Suck-back of starter pump, lead to the first assay results lower.
Problem:
⑴ Gas leakage of starter pump.
Solution:
⑴ Check whether there is suck-back in the starter sprayer,if it is,fasten the
metal srews of in-let pipe and out-let pipe.
Problem:
⑴ The piston bar was worn.
Solution:
⑴ Check whether there is a liquid leakage of the starter pump, or after adjusting
the pump volume, the volume become inaccurate in a short time. If it is, change
the piston bar.
Picture 7.1.13
Picture 7.1.14
Picture 7.1.15
⑶Click “starter 1” to check volume of starter pump 1 (“starter 2” for starter pump 2).
Click this buttom 2 times, so the pump will inject for 2 times, then there will be
400μL in the cuvette.(please reference to the 400μL line of cuvette). If the
volume is less/more than 400μL, you need to adjust the volume according to the
following method:

7.1.4.5 Problem Shooting
Case 1 “Condensate water cannot be removed from reagent area“
(1) Please enter service software to check whether the pump can work when clicking
[Condensate].
Picture 7.1.29
(2) If the pump does not respond at all, when clicking [Condensate], please measure
working voltage of the pump.
Picture 7.1.29
---If the working voltage is 14-27V-DC, please replace the pump.
---If the working voltage is out of range, you need to replace the 06-E01 interface
board or 06-E00 PCB board
(4) Enter service software to check whether the peristaltic pump is right set. We can
adjust the Condensate Time to change how long the pump work for one round,
and adjust the Condensate Int. to change the interval. The default setting is as
follow, but you can adjust it according to environment.
Picture 7.1.30
Unlike the old design, the pump is replaced by diaphragm pump. We still need to
disconnect the tubing and power supply cable, but loosen one screw only.
