 Turn off analyzing unit

 Connect two probes of oscillograph to AD start signal RC and t
he analog signal V3 respectively, both earth terminals connecte
d to GND.
 Turn on both power
 Enter Debug software, select Setup button on the up-right of th
e window and input password of bs120
 Place 8 new segments to the reaction compartment.
 Select the Command-Main Unit-Ordinary Rotate&Measure I

III. Photoelectric Gain

1. Enter Debug software, select Photoelectric-Others-Auto Gain Config, then Start.

2. After finished, gain value will performed in the Gain column. The order is 340nm,
405nm, 450nm, 510nm, 546nm, 578nm, 630nm, 670nm.
3. During the test, the software will configure the gain value to the reaction unit.
4. After the test, select PARA and Speed-Reaction Unit-Query to confirm the configur
ation.
The order on the reaction unit is 670nm, 630nm, 578nm, 546nm, 510nm, 450nm, 4
05nm, 340nm.
5. Run background test to confirm the gain configuration. The recommended range fo
r background is 48000-62000.
6. If the gain values of a channel are not reasonable, adjust them manually. Change th
e gain value of the specific channel on PARA and Speed-Reaction Unit. You will g
et low background value by configuring large gain value. Similarly, you will get hi
gh background value by configuring low gain value. The input range for gain value
is 1-255.

Why execute “New Lamp”?
--- Make full use of a new lamp

Background of 340nm Background of Reference

Light intensity  or
N N

 The default N = 65535 and the initial light intensity is adjusted to

100% in the factory.
 After installing a new lamp, in case the really 340nm background
is less than 65535, for example 60000, then the “light intensity” i
s 60000/65535=91%. When it drops to 70%, the operation softw
are warns “low light intensity” and you are supposed to replace t
he lamp again.
 Executing “New Lamp” changes N to the current 340nm backgro
und of the new lamp. So now the N=60000 and you have light int
ensity = 100%. It takes longer from 100% drops to 70% than fro
m 91% drops to 70%.

Detailed error information:

 Install new lamp, after add new cuvette in reaction disc, status menu of o
peration software still shows related cuvette position as empty.
 340nm background 65535, other wavelength channels less than 65535

© 2010 Mindray 04/09/2020 108

Confidential
Troubleshooting 2

Troubleshooting:
 65535 is the maximum value of back ground which operatio
n software can display. Even actual background is much larg
er than 65535, for example 68000, 70000, software only can
deem it as 65535.
 If actual background is much more than 65535, it is 90000, s
oftware can only read it as 65535, and then the cuvette blan
k is 70000 which is also read as 65535.

Solution:
 Use debug software to Change intensity gain, make sure ba
ckground of all every channel less than 65535.
