This functional description is divided into four sections representing each of the four boards. The reader should
also reference the block diagram and wiring diagram when studying this section.
1.1 Control Board
The Intel 80C188EC microcontroller is an enhanced X86 processor with many on-board peripheral features,
such as a interrupt controller, DMA controller, peripheral chip select driver, programmable timers, etc. The
two programmable timers are used to control the bed heaters. The input to these timers is line frequency.
This allows the control signal to be synchronized with the line frequency to better control the zerocrossing
solid state relays. The on-board interrupt controller has several interrupts: analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
conversion ready signal, overtemperature comparator output, watchdog output, power fail signal, and module
interrupt signal from the system data bus. The microcontroller external bus is a multiplexed address and data
bus.
The system memory consists of a programmable read-only memory (PROM) and static random access memory
(SRAM). The EEPROM is used for calibration and biomedical conguration values. This memory holds the data
even after power is turned o.
The RS-485 integrated circuit converts the RS-232 TTL signals from the microcontroller to RS-485 signals for
the bus. This bus is the main communications bus from the control board to the display board, scale, and servo
oxygen board.
There are two isolation transceivers used to isolate the circuits powered by +5V and the circuits powered by
+5VSTBY (battery backup).
The board contains a 16 channel multiplexer. There are seven temperature measurement channels. These
channels measure the two patient probes and the compartment probe (with two thermistors each), and the
heat sink sensor used to measure the heat sink temperature. Additional channels include the humidity sensor
(RHIN), LINE COMP & LINE COMP2, 5 Volts, Motor current, Vthref, VDAC, and 1.2Vind.
Attached to the compartment probe connection is the relative humidity signal conditioning circuitry. The 1V
reference that is used for the analog circuitry is also the maximum input voltage and the oset voltage for the
ADC. This yields a purely ratiometric system.
The overtemperature circuit compares the air temperature to a reference level, generates an interrupt, and
turns o the heat if the air temperature is higher than the reference level. The overtemperature circuit requires
varying its voltage levels to accommodate various thermistor measurements. This is because the calibration is
digital (no potentiometer).
The watchdog circuitry monitors the 80C188 microprocessor, and monitors the +5V and +5VSTBY voltages.
It generates the interrupt signal and power failure signal to the 80C188 microprocessors. The audio circuit
includes a 8752 microcontroller that reads a wavetable located in a PROM and sends the table to a digital
audio circuit and amplier. The high priority (HP) and other alarm signal lines select an output at the correct
frequencies.
Three OR gates are combined to generate the error signal. The inputs to the circuit are overtemperature, power
failure, and system failure. This circuit generates an error signal that turns o the heater and sounds the HP
alarm. This circuit is independent of the microcontroller.
1.2 Relay Board
The Relay Board includes 2 safety relays, which close to supply mains power to the heater and motor circuits.
Safety relay 1 is wired in series with the primary coil of the isolation transformer for the incubator heater. Safety
relay 2 closes the mains supply to the humidier isolation transformer and the transformer for the e-base
motor. Control signals for the two relays originate on the Control Board.
The Relay Board interfaces the DC Control signal to the chassis mounted solid-state relay (SSR), which controls
the incubator heater. The Control signals for the heater SSR originates on the Control Board.
The Relay Board includes a SSR for the humidier. The SSR output is wired in series with the humidier heater.
The humidier SSR control signal originates on the Control Board.
There is one current sense circuit for the incubator and an additional one for the humidier heater. These
circuits consist of a small signal transformer that produces a current proportional to the current through the
heater circuits. The current is rectied and measured. The subsequent comparator then generates a digital
level based on a specied current level. This results in a signal to the Control Board representing the state of the
heater (on or o).
The line compensation circuit consists of a signal transformer connected to the mains voltage. The secondary
of this transformer feeds a full wave rectier and capacitor. The resulting DC voltage is proportional to mains
voltage, and it is measured on the Control Board.
The line frequency circuit consists of a full wave rectier and a comparator. This circuit generates a digital pulse
with frequency twice that of the line frequency (50 or 60 Hz). The output signal is provide to the Control Board.
The Relay Board provides the +5v standby power supply to the entire Girae system. A +5V regulator generates
the +5V standby from the diode OR combination of the system +12V power supply or the backup battery.
If there is no mains power, then +12v is not present, and the battery will generate the +5V standby. When +12V
is present, the battery is biased out of the circuit with the diode and is merely being trickle charged though a
resistor. The battery charges only when the unit is powered on.
The motor driver circuit turns the DC motor coils in the incubator airow fan motor on and o based on
feedback from the hall eect position sensors. This integrated circuit can also vary the speed and brake the
motor based on input signals from the Control Board.
The airow sensor consists of an optocoupler that outputs a clocking pulse proportional to the fan movement.
The signal is AC coupled to eliminate oset voltages and drifts. The resulting pulse is half wave rectied and
stored in a capacitor to yield a DC voltage proportional to the fan speed. If the fan stops or there is no fan, this
DC voltage becomes zero. The output signal is provide to the Control Board to indicate proper airow motor
operation.
The elevating base motor control circuits consist of a series of three relays. For the Girae Incubator, the speed
relay and the E/H select relay are always switched to the same position. The speed relay connects the 15 volt
secondaries of the toroidal transformer in a series (drive at 30 volts) for raising or lowering the elevating base.
The direction relay reverses the polarity of the voltage output from the speed relay depending on the direction
of travel. The E/H select relay switches the output voltage from the direction relay to the elevating base motor.
The Relay Board interfaces the user and system status input switch signals to the Control Board. Switch signals
include, e-base activation, humidier reservoir, and water level status.
1.3 Display Driver Board / EL Display
The Display Driver board contains the same Intel microcontroller as the Control board. The processor on the
display board is used to control the EL display contents and monitor user inputs received from the membrane
switch panel and rotary encoder knob.
There are two groups of digital inputs: membrane switch panel and rotary encoder knob. The membrane
switches are pulled high; pressing the switch grounds the input. The encoder also has a switch, and two
optically isolated lines that pulse out of phase with each other. The number of pulses represents the number of
steps the knob rotates. The phase of the pulses represents the direction of the knob rotation.
The display board system memory consists of a programmable read-only memory (PROM) and static random
access memory (SRAM).
The RS-485 integrated circuit converts the RS-232 TTL signals from the microcontroller to RS-485 signals for the
bus.
The timekeeping RAM has a battery integrated into the chip so that the time and date run are kept current
even with the power o. The battery has a minimum life of 10 years. Operator conguration values, patient
information (trending), and the error log are stored in this RAM.
The graphics controller is an S-MOS VGA controller. The graphics controller interfaces the data from the video
RAM to the EL display. The controller also synchronizes the display using a horizontal pulse (LP) and a vertical
pulse for the whole display frame (YD). The controller handshakes with the 80C188 using the READY line to
eliminate any lost data during display refreshes.
1.4 LED Board
The LED Board contains ve display banks and two display drivers. One of the display drivers controls the
patient temperature and air temperature display banks. The other driver controls the patient set temperature,
air set temperature, warmer bar graph, and the mode and override indicators.
This allows the two large displays (patient and air temperature) to be multiplexed at a slower rate than the
other LEDs. This results in brighter large displays. Each driver has a brightness potentiometer that is preset at
the factory and should not be adjusted in the eld.
1.5 Power Supply
The universal input switching power supply converts the line voltage to +5V DC and +12V DC. This supply can
source up to 75 watts. The 5 volts powers the electronics and the 12 volts is used by the EL display and for
future boards. Acceptable voltage ranges are 4.75V - 5.25V and 10.8V - 13.2V.
1.6 Peripheral Components
For the heater isolation transformer with relay board revision 9 or lower, the heater isolation transformer
isolates the incubator heaters from the mains voltage. The primaries mains input voltage comes from the relay
board and is switched by safety relay 1 and is also routed through the heater current sense circuit. The dual
primaries are connected in parallel for 115 volt operation and in series for 230 volt operation. The isolated
secondary output voltage is always 115 volts and goes directly to the solid state relays and the incubator
heaters
For the heater isolation transformer with relay board revision 10 or higher, the heater isolation transformer
isolates the incubator heaters from the mains voltage. The primaries mains input voltage comes from the relay
board and is switched by safety relay 1. The dual primaries are connected in parallel for 115 volt operation and
in series for 230 volt operation. The isolated secondary output voltage is always 115 volts and is input to the
relay board where it is used by the heater current sense circuit. It then outputs from the relay board to the solid
state relays and the incubator heaters
The humidier isolation transformer isolates the humidier heater from the mains voltage. The primaries
mains input comes from the relay board and is switched by safety relay 2. The dual primaries and secondaries
are connected in parallel for 115 volt operation and in series for 230 volt operation. The isolated secondaries
output voltage is equal to the mains input voltage..
The toroidal transformer is used to buck the mains voltage down to the range required for the elevating base
motor. The primaries mains input comes from the relay board and is switched by safety relay 2. The dual
primaries are connected in parallel for 115 volt operation and in series for 230 volt operation. The output
voltage from each secondary is about 15 volts for both 115 and 230 volt operation and is input to the relay
board motor control circuits.
The solid state relay (SSR) is used to switch the isolated 115 volts to the incubator heaters. The SSR is mounted
to the back wall of the electronics enclosure below the toroidal transformer.
The 8.4 NiMH battery is connected to the relay board. It is used to power the +5 STBY during power fail. The
battery charges only when the unit is powered on.
1.7 DataLink Option
The DataLink option allows direct output of serial data to various remote monitoring systems, such as a
computer or commercial RS-232 monitor. The DataLink option board contains the electronic circuitry necessary
to provide a 2500 VRMS isolated serial interface to meet the logic levels specied by EIA RS-232D and
CCITTV.28.
The MAX250 and MAX251 (U1 and U2), together with two 6N136 optocouplers and transformer TR1, form
an isolated RS-232 transmitter and receiver. The MAX250 connects to the non-isolated or “logic” side of the
interface, translating logic signals to and from the optocouplers, while the MAX251 resides on the isolated or
“cable” side, translating data between the optocouplers and RS-232 line drivers and receivers. In addition to
the optocoupler drivers and receivers, the MAX250 also contains isolation transformer drive circuitry which
supplies power to the isolated side of the interface, and the MAX251.
The transmit signal is input to the MAX250 driver (U1 pin 4) whose output (U1 pin 3) drives optocoupler U4.
The optocoupler output (U4 pin 6) is then fed into the MAX251 driver (U2 pin 3). The output of the MAX251
driver (U2 pin 12) is at the logic levels conforming to EIA RS-232D and CCITTV.28. Conversely, the receive signal
enters the MAX251 driver (U2 pin 10) and is stepped down to CMOS/TTL levels at U2 pin 5. This logic level drives
optoisolator input (U3 pin 3) whose output is fed into U1 pin 10. The output (U1 pin 9) signal is then available to
the control printed circuit board.
A slide switch SW1 is used as a “self test” for the RS-232 interface. In the closed position, the J30-1 transmit
signal is sent through the MAX250/MAX251 transmitter and back into the receiver portions. The signal can be
read at J30-2 and veried to be correct. Any external cable connection must be removed for this self test to
function. CR1 and CR2 provide transient protection for MAX251. In normal operation SW1 should be in the open
(OFF) position.
The nurse call signal is input at J30-5 as a TTL logic level. In the “no alarm” state, this signal is a logic high,
which turns on Darlington Q1, energizing relay K1. This results in contact closure between J31-1 and J31-2.
In the “alarm” state, J30-5 is a logic low, which turns o Q1, de-energizes K1 and results in contact closure
between J31-2 and J31-3. K1 provides 2500 VRMS isolation between the relay coil inputs and contact outputs.
The Girae Servo Control Oxygen System consists of an oxygen sensing circuit, Servo Oxygen circuit board, and
an oxygen delivery system.
The sensing circuit is located beneath the bed and consists of a pair of fuel cell oxygen sensors, a three-way
solenoid calibration valve, and a calibration fan. In normal operation the calibration valve is closed and allows
the Girae fan to circulate gas from the infant compartment across the sensors.
The unit must be calibrated at least every 24 hours when servo oxygen is in use. After 24 hours have elapsed
the system prompts the user to perform calibration. Once the operator initiates calibration, the calibration
valve opens and the calibration fan is turned on. This draws ambient air across the sensors until a stable
reading is obtained. This 21% oxygen reference value is then used to calibrate the measuring algorithm. After
calibration 100% oxygen is briey delivered to the system to ensure there are no occlusions. When calibration
is complete the unit will resume controlling oxygen based on the last set point.
The system must have two sensors present to operate. One sensor is always used for control and the other is
used for a redundant check and display. The sensors generate a voltage of about 40 millivolts at 21% oxygen
concentration and about 200 millivolts at 100% oxygen concentration. The voltage is directly proportional
to the concentration of oxygen. Humidity and temperature sensors located in the sensor plug are used for
voltage compensation. A fan mounted to the sensor-housing door is activated when the temperature reaches
50 degrees C. This fan circulates air to keep the sensors below the maximum allowable operating temperature,
about 55 degrees C.
The Servo O2 board is located in the Girae controller. The microcontroller and integrated EPROM on the board
perform the following:
• Convert sensor output from analog to digital
• Activates oxygen alarm conditions.
• Two-way communications via 485 bus with the Girae control board.
• Controls the calibration valve to select calibration mode.
• Controls the two supply valves to maintain the desired oxygen set point.
• Opens the safety relay, which removes power to the two-way valve and the supply valves in case of a
system failure.
The oxygen delivery system consists of two solenoid supply valves, and a regulator assembly. The preset
regulator regulates the oxygen supply to 50 psi (345 kPa). Two supply valves, controlled by the Servo Oxygen
board, control ow to the infant compartment. Both valves are opened until the measured level gets close to
the desired set point then one valve is closed. One valve is then cycled on and o as needed to maintain the
desired oxygen levels in the infant compartment. The valve selected is alternated so both valves cycle about
the same number of times. There are 2 fuses between the Servo O2 board and the supply valves that prevent
high current from the board entering the valve housing should a short occur in the supply valves.
Refer to the following diagram. Water enters the insulating cylinder (1) through a small hole in bottom. Steam
rises along the heater cartridge protective insert (2) and is channeled between the heater mount (3) and the
ramp block (4) and out the steam port (5).

Before calibrating make sure J1, J2 and J4 on the control board are
disconnected. Verify jumper JP1 is correctly positioned. (Refer to section
“3.3 System Calibration” on page 21.)
If the unit was shut o when the heater was hot, allow the fan to run for a
few minutes to cool to below 40C, then power down and back up.
Disconnect connector J1 from the control board. Power cycle the unit. If
the error clears either the compartment air probe or the air probe cable
is defective. Reconnect J1 and disconnect the compartment air probe
connector at the compartment probe. If the unit now powers up OK the
compartment air probe is defective.
If system failure 15 persists with connector J1 connected, and the
compartment air probe disconnected, then the compartment air probe
cable is defective.
In service mode, check the output voltage of the heater isolation
transformer at the one pin connectors on the black and white wires on
the transformer secondary. This secondary voltage should always read
115 volts.
• If 115 volts is present, then replace the relay board.
• If 115 volts is not present, check that the mains voltage is input to the
transformer primaries.
• Be sure J49 on the relay board is properly connected.
• Verify the conguration plug on the transformer primary is seated
properly.
No output from heater isolation
transformer. Defective relay
board.
To measure primary input voltage on 115 volt units:
• Verify mains voltage is present at pins 2-5 (brown and orange wires)
on the transformer primary conguration plug.
• Verify mains voltage is present at pins 3-6 (yellow and blue wires) on
the transformer primary conguration plug.
To measure primary input voltage on 230 volt units:
• Verify mains voltage is present at pins 2-6 (brown and blue wires) on
the transformer primary conguration plug .
• If voltages are not present, verify mains voltage is present at pins 1-4
(black and red wires) on the transformer primary conguration plug.
If voltage is present at primaries but no voltage output at secondaries,
replace the heater isolation transformer.
If failure persists, replace control board.
Power up the unit in service mode. Run status test on the second service
screen and verify that the I/HTROFF (incubator heater o) test fails. If the
status test fails, then it is an SSR problem. If the status test does not fail,
then try the recommended action for a defective current sense circuit on
relay board, below.
Disconnect the black wire (larger diameter) from the AC side of the
incubator heater solid state relay. Run status test. If I/HTROFF test passes
replace the incubator heater SSR. If it still fails reconnect the wire to the
SSR.
Replace relay board.

Following are tips on taking many of the measurements and diagnosing the failures that are referred to in the
troubleshooting charts. For some tips, it may be necessary to determine the revision level of the relay board.
The revision code is located in a triangle printed on the component side of the PCB. Refer to Figure 6-34 and
Figure 6-35.
4.6.1 Raising and Lowering the Elevating Base
In the event of a system failure, it may be possible to raise or lower the elevating base in the service mode. Hold
down the override button (>37) to bring up the service screen. The pedals are now activated and may assist in
troubleshooting or transport.
If the switches still do not operate it may be possible to raise or lower the elevating base using the pedal
function on page 2 of the service screen.
4.6.2 Incubator Heaters and Bed Safety Thermostat
There are two 115 volt incubator heaters rated at 225 watts at 104 volts and mounted at opposite ends of
the incubator heat sink. They are always connected in parallel and are powered by isolated 115 volts from the
heater isolation transformer. This voltage is switched by the incubator SSR.
The resistance of each heater is about 48 ohms and they are in parallel so you should measure about 24 ohms.
Note that the bed safety thermostat is in series with the heaters so if the reading is open circuit you must take
readings at the connectors under the bed to determine which is defective.
To measure the incubator heater resistance on units with revision 9 or lower relay boards, disconnect the black
wire on the incubator SSR and the white wire on the output of the isolation transformer and measure between
these 2 wires.
To measure the incubator heater resistance on units with revision 10 or higher relay boards, disconnect the
black wire on the incubator SSR and the connector from J54 on the relay board. Measure between harness
connector pin 4 and the black wire.
The incubator heater and bed safety thermostat resistance can also be measured by the removing the bottom
cover and measuring directly at the components.
The 5V and 12V supplies are generated on the power supply. +5STBY is generated on the relay board. These
voltages are distributed to the control board, display driver board, servo oxygen board, and expansion slots
through a harness with a series of 4 pin connectors. The easiest place to measure the power supplies is at one
of the spare 4 pin connectors on this power bus.

4.6.5 Humidier Heater/Safety Thermostat
The humidier has two separate heater elements rated at 225 watts at 104 volts. They are connected in
parallel for 115 volt operation and in series for 230 volt operation. The humidier safety thermostat is in series
with the heater. It opens at 130 +/-5 C and closes at 90 +/-8 C. Measure the resistance at J53.1 to J53.3.
The resistance of each heater is about 144 ohms so it should measure about 72 ohms for 115 units, 288 ohms
for 230 units.
4.6.6 Compartment Air Probe and Patient Probes
Use the service screen to read the temperature of the compartment and patient probes. There are two
thermistors in each probe. During stable temperature conditions the thermistors should read the same
resistance within a few ohms.
If you must replace a footswitch when the bed is all the way down, use pedal screen on service screen to raise
or lower the bed.
The e-base is driven at 24 volts DC (acceptable range 24-32). The following chart shows the control signal
values and the output voltages for each of the motor conditions.
All of the communication between the control and relay boards passes through the 50 pin ribbon cable. Many
of the troubleshooting procedures in this manual recommend that you verify continuity for specic pins in the
cable. Because it is dicult to remove and measure the cable without possibly changing the resistance, it is
suggested that you keep a spare 50 pin ribbon cable to use as a troubleshooting tool.
Perform the following tests in service mode. The referenced voltages should always be present when the unit is
in service mode. In normal operating mode, the voltages are not present if safety relay 2 contacts are open.
1. Check the output voltage of the toroidal transformer at J44 pins 1-2 and at J44 pins 3-4. Voltages should
be about 15 volts AC .
2. If the voltage is not present verify that mains voltage is present at the primary input to the toroidal
transformer in service mode. This voltage can be measured at relay board connector J51 pins 1-2. It can
also be measured at the conguration plug on the toroidal transformer pins 1-4.
3. If the primary voltage is present and there is no output voltage, the toroidal transformer is defective.
4. If the primary voltage is not present, then replace the relay board.
4.6.11 Interpreting Serial Numbers
Datex-Ohmeda products have unit serial numbers with coded logic which indicates a product group code,
the year of manufacture, and a sequential unit number for identication. The serial number is in the following
format:
AAAX11111
The X represents an alpha character indicating the year the product was manufactured; H = 2004, J = 2005,
etc. I and O are not used.
To access the service screens, hold in the override button (>37) during power up until the software revision

the fan is not running check the control signal from the Servo O2 board to verify voltage is present when VC is
opened to determine if the fan or board is defective.
4.7.3.3 Check Cooling Fan
The cooling fan is mounted to the sensor housing door on the chassis cover. Power up unit in service mode.
Select Servo O2 on second page. The cooling fan should be running.
If fan is not running verify 10.0 - 13.2 Volts at J86-1 to J86-2. If voltage is present the fan is defective. If voltage
is not present the Servo O2 board is defective. Open VC, you should hear a click and the cooling fan should
stop. If the fan does not stop the Servo O2 board is defective.
An Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Susceptibility symbol is displayed to alert service personnel that the
part(s) are sensitive to electrostatic discharge and that static control procedures must be used to
prevent damage to the equipment.
WARNING:
After performing any repair or calibration, always perform the Service Checkout Procedure before
putting the unit back into service.
