1. CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE
1.1 Introduction
WARNING ! :
Customer maintenance has to be carried out according to the
recommended frequency chart table and after having performed an ABX
approved customer training course. The system warranty may be affected
if damage occurs after an untrained technician intervenes or if
replacement spare parts and consumables do not come from an ABX
approved origin.
1.2. Daily maintenance
No special adjustments or maintenance has to be done on your equipment
if the recommended start up and shut down procedures are explicitly
respected.
See the MICROS users' manual for the daily rinsing and cleaning of the
system.
1.3. Weekly maintenance
- General cleanliness
An overall check for cleanliness of the system is recommended every week.
All traces of blood or reagent have to be wiped off as soon as possible using
a piece of cloth and distilled water.
WARNING ! :
Never use solvent or an abrasive cleaning material to clean the system.
2. SERVICE TECHNICIAN MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
2.1. Frequency chart table
The yearly maintenance frequencies vary with the instrument output.
According to the cycle numbers, 3 types are created :
- Type 1 : < 6000 cycles/year -> 2 overall maintenances/year
- Type 2 : 6000 to 15000 cycles/year -> 2 overall maintenances/year
- Type 3 : > 15000 cycles/year -> 3 overall maintenances/year

WARNING ! :
When replacing one valve only, it is important to check if the
"neighboured" valves have not been damaged too.
CAUTION :
The solenoïd can not be dismantled unless unsoldering it.
If this one is suspected solder a new one or replace the entire valve
assembly.
- Reconnect the tubes on the nipples (with the sleeves).
- Re-install in the reverse order. Switch on the instrument.
- Control the watertightness of the valves and check for the correct
operations :
Go to "SERVICE" menu, then to "MECHANIC" sub menu (6) and require a
"VALVES" (6) test (see Mechanic functions : RAS 092 A).
- Check the calibration too.
* REMARKS
When piercing several times the same tube cap, some pieces of cork may
be dragged along towards the mixing chamber, the WBC chamber and
then the liquid valve

DRAIN DETECTION ADJUSTMENT
* PROCEDURE
The Vacuum/Waste syringe and the chambers drains are controled by an
infrared sensor located below the syringe.
When a drain problem occurs during a cycle two error messages are
possible :
- "....." (the instrument carries on the current cycle)
It means that the sensor always detects liquids.
Check the watertightness of the syringe or control the correct adjustment of
the cell (see below)
- "SENSOR ERROR OR MINICLEAN EMPTY" (the instrument stops)
It means that the sensor does not detect liquid transfer before the
countings.
Check the Miniclean or diluent level in the containers or control the correct
adjustment of the cell (see below).
* Drain detection sensor adjustment
- Raise the piston up and press the valve <2>.
- Manually perform a syringe drain pressing the valve <5> and pulling down
the syringe piston (Diag.1).

- Push diluent through the sensor and check that the voltage falls down
below 1Volt on the voltmeter.
NOTE :
Check the commutation from 5,5Volts to ~ 0Volt once again pushing and
drawning alternately liquid and air through the sensor by means of the
syringe.
- If nothing happens switch off the instrument and disconnect the
connector from J13.

8 - Sampling position
According to the sample tube models (Vacutainers,
Microtainers ...) used and to their position into the
sample tube holder, the heigth of the needle in its lower
position (see diagram 10) can be modified.
The diagram 10 shows two models of tubes used in the
same sampling position :
- Vacutainer and Sarstedt.
Diag.10
The 3 switches associated to the tube holder are able
to detect the sampling position according to the
following principle :
Two states 0/1 are possible for the 3 switches (see diag
11) :
- Switched OFF : 1
- Switched ON : 0
The binary codes obtained from the states of the
switches gives the positions of the tube holder.
For each position of the sample tube holder (from 1 to
6) corresponds a position of the needle (from 1 to 6).
