OPERATION TABLE
1.0 PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
WARNING
Before servicing this operation table the engineer should be familiar with all the warnings and cautions contained within the ‘Instructions for use’ detailed in section 1.1. This service manual does not provide details of how to operate the table nor does it provide information on the symbols and warning signs provided on the table. All this information is in the ‘Instructions for use’ supplied with the table. Additional copies of the ‘Instructions for use’ can be obtained from Eschmann Equipment. Only qualified and trained engineers should service or maintain this operation table to ensure that all the built-in safety features are not compromised.
1.1 This Service Manual should be referred to for details of the T20-a Powered Operation Table, Serial Number (SN) T2AA3A0000 or above:
REF T20-223-2301* & T20-108-2301* REF T20-221-2301 & T20-106-2301 REF T20-221-2101 & T20-106-2101
* These models have Denyer style accessory side rails.
The related publications listed below provide additional information.
T-IM102 (1 11701) - Instructions for use T-IPL35 (111706) - Illustrated parts list T-IM94 (11 1012) - ‘T’ Series Application software manual T-IM56 (698907) - General accessory leaflet
The number in brackets above, is the part number for that publication.
1.2 ‘Instructions for use’ and ‘Service manuals’ should be readily accessible for reference prior to and when operating, cleaning, servicing, or, maintaining the operation table.
1.3 The table and all accessories are not supplied sterile therefore the table and all accessories should be cleaned and disinfected in line with hospital practice and the information supplied in the ‘Instructions for Use’ before use.
1.4 The manuals listed above and the Application software, are available to order from Eschmann Equipment, see inside front cover for address details.
1.5 Make sure that routine servicing is carried out as detailed in the service schedule, section 5.4, by Eschmann trained or accredited engineers.
1.6 The service schedule provided in this manual details a program of maintenance work to be carried out at six monthly intervals, refer to the applicable section of this
manual for details of how to perform these various functions. Any special adjustments required for components are detailed in the part replacement (section 6.0) for that item to save duplication. As routine the Service Schedule should be followed in the event of an additional service due to a fault developing with any aspect of the table, this will ensure that all aspects of the table are covered.
WARNING
Ensure that the correct screw torque settings are used as detailed within this manual to ensure safety and that parts are not damaged.
1.7 Throughout this manual there are recommended torque settings for many of the screws. In the main, these are only provided on the illustrations. Ensure that these are checked and the correct torque settings are used where specified. These are provided to ensure safety (i.e. screws are tightened correctly) and that components are not damaged by excessively high torques.
1.8 Fig. 1.0 identifies the main parts of the T20-a operation table.
1.9 The table can be placed into a ‘Service Position’ that provides easy access to components within the ‘top of column’ area (ensure table is switched ‘off’ before opening top). To achieve this position first note the safety warning in section 4.1. Remove as much as possible from the table top (e.g. leg and head sections, accessories and mattresses etc.). Remove the top of column steel covers (items 13 and 14 of Fig. 6.1). Remove the four M10 screws (each side) that secure the trunk sections to the pedestal (not the M6 cap head screws that can be seen passing through the oilite bushes on each side) and allow the trunk section to pivot (short trunk down) about the oilite bush pivots (item 16, Fig. 6.3). Extreme care should be taken at all times with the table in this position, especially during transition into and out of the ‘Service Position’. Use tool number T2203 to maintain contact between the connector blocks if required when the table is in the ‘Service Position’. When returning the table out of the ‘Service Position’ ensure the eight M10 screws are tightened to the correct torque and that the covers are replaced.
1.10 The ‘Instructions for use’ (provided with the table) contain all the cleaning, disinfection and care instructions, consult this for these aspects as they are not duplicated in this manual.
CAUTION
Continued use of the table batteries when ‘critically low’ can damage the batteries. Charge batteries regularly to maintain peak performance. Do not remove the table from charge until both charging LED’s are ‘green’ to avoid false battery level indication on the handset.

This symbol is used to indicate the table’s duty cycle which, in the worst case, is ‘60s : 600s’, the ratio of the operating time to the sum of the operating time and the ensuing interval (see note below). Each motor drive has its own duty cycle and this is dependent on loading and table position as detailed below.
Trendelenburg 1 : 4 (60s : 240s) at a maximum torque of
417Nm (e.g. 135kg load offset 31cm from the
fulcrum, or a 300kg load offset 14cm from the
fulcrum. Where this load is the patient and
accessories weight and the offset is how far the loads
centre of gravity is, from the centre of the column). Traverse 1 : 4 (60s : 240s) when the table is
horizontal and at the maximum load of 300kg, or at
17.5° with a patient weight of 225kg, or at 35° with a
patient weight of 150kg. Break 1 : 10 (60s : 600s) at maximum patient
weight of 300kg. Height 1 : 4 (60s : 240s) at maximum patient
weight of 300kg (not offset). Tilt 1 : 4 (60s : 240s) at maximum patient
weight of 300kg. Note: The duty cycles above are all for the worst case (i.e.
maximum loads). For reduced loading the above duty cycles can be increased.
2.7 Use in conjunction with other equipment
2.7.1 Electrosurgical equipment (h.f.)
The T20-a operation table has been designed to minimise the possibility of accidental electrosurgery burns and can be used in conjunction with electrosurgical equipment. However, contact with any metal surfaces (e.g. table side bars, or other equipment etc.) can cause burns during electrosurgery and must be avoided.
2.7.2 Defibrillation equipment
With the mains cord attached the equipment has defibrillator proof applied parts with type BF protection against electric shock.
2.7.3 Other
When the T20-a is used in conjunction with other infrared controlled devices, their controllers should be checked to ensure that no interference between them and the T20-a is possible, prior to surgical intervention. Also see the ‘Instructions for Use’.

OPERATION TABLE
3.0 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
See Fig. 3.1 and Appendix 3 for schematic diagrams.
3.1 Power supply assembly
This assembly (Part number 111765) which is located in the table base, has no user serviceable parts and must be changed as a complete unit. The assembly includes, a Battery charger loom, a Battery charger module, a Battery management PCA, a Battery connector loom, a Chassis plate, two Battery support brackets, a Switch, two Fuses (32 x 6.35mm 20A ‘T’ type), two Fuse holders, two battery pairs and all connections, cable ties and screws etc.
3.2 Control electronics
3.2.1 Overview
The control electronics for the T20-a is distributed between two PCA ’s (the ‘4 actuator PCA ’ and the ‘3 actuator PCA ’). These two PCA’s contain three distinct microprocessor daughter PCAs (two on the ‘4 actuator PCA’ and one on the ‘3 actuator PCA ’). The ‘4 actuator PCA’ (111524) is located on the column and includes the ‘main controller’ and the ‘4 actuator controller’. Each of these ‘controllers’ consists of a ‘microprocessor daughter PCA ’ (1 11526) which have their control electronics on the ‘4 actuator PCA ’. The ‘Three actuator PCA’ (111525) is located in the long trunk section of the table and contains the ‘3 actuator controller’, another ‘microprocessor daughter PCA’ (1 1 1526) with its control electronics on the ‘Three actuator PCA’.
3.2.1.1 Microprocessor daughter PCAs
The daughter PCAs consist of a Motorola MC68HC912B32 micro controller, a watchdog circuit, an RS232 line driver and an SPI UART and RS485 line driver. All the micro controllers on the T20-a require these components. The RS232 communications can be used to provide a telemetry link to custom software running on a PC. Once fitted to their respective controller boards the micro controllers are programmed with the appropriate software application. There is a ‘main controller application’ (110442) and an ‘actuator controller application’ (110443). Both the 4­actuator and 3-actuator are programmed with the same ‘actuator controller application’ (110443). A configuration file is then downloaded to each micro controller that specifies which controllers are present on which board. It is possible to configure any actuator to any board, however the configuration of the electronics is specific to each actuator.
3.2.1.2 The ‘main controller’
The ‘main controller’ provides the control and supervisory functions for the table. This consists of the interface to the infrared handset, corded handset (via RS232), footswitch and standby panel. It also controls the table power LED. The main controller communicates with the two actuator controllers (one of which is co-located on the 4 actuator PCA) by means of an RS485 multi-drop bus. This system enables multiple slave controllers to be attached at any time. The main controller issues a health check poll message to each of the actuators (up to four of which can be controlled by the single PCA) to ensure that they are functioning correctly . When a command is received from any of the user-input devices the main controller issues the appropriate movement commands to the required actuator (or actuator groups in the case of combined movements).
3.2.1.3 The ‘4 actuator PCA’
The ‘4 actuator PCA ’ is responsible for movement of four actuators on or within the table’s column. These are the ‘top and bottom height actuators’ inside the column assembly , the ‘Trendelenburg actuator’ and the ‘Tilt actuator’ mounted on the column. A number of signals control the movement of each actuator. A PWM signal is used to set the speed of the motor; digital signals control direction (forward/reverse), a digital signal enables the drive circuit and another digital signal effects a brake on the motor by shorting the windings together. The electronics provide a digital fault signal to indicate when there is a problem with the control circuit, or an over current situation has occurred. An analogue signal is also provided on all but the ‘bottom height actuator’. The analogue signal on the top height actuator is the output from a potentiometer that indicates the combined position of the height actuators. Although the column contains two motors, there is only a single potentiometer to indicate the height of the column. This analogue signal is fed to the ‘top height actuator’; the’ bottom height actuator’ is effectively slaved to the top.
3.2.1.4 The ‘Three actuator PCA’
The ‘Three actuator PCA ’ is responsible for movement of the three actuators within the tables long and short trunk sections. These are the ‘left break actuator’, ‘right break actuator’ and the ‘traverse actuator’. These actuators are controlled by the same signals as on the ‘4 actuator PCA ’. In terms of feedback, both the ‘left and right break actuators’ have potentiometers and the ‘traverse actuator’ has limit switches which open when the long trunk reaches either end of its movement. The ‘left and right break actuators’ are independently controlled to move at a set speed and to maintain a minimum deviation between them.

3.2.2 Handset overview
There are two versions of handset, a cordless type (infrared handset) with an infrared emitter powered by 2 AA cells and a corded version (corded handset) with an RS232 link to the main processor on the ‘4 actuator PCA’. The latter version derives its power from the T20-a.
3.2.2.1 Infrared handset
The 4 x 5 matrix keyboard is decoded using a proprietary keyboard decoder. This device is powered down and remains dormant until a key is pressed causing its clock oscillator to be initialised. The key is decoded and the 38kHz modulated signal is fed to the infrared LED via a FET . The whole system is powered via 2 AA batteries
3.2.2.2 Corded handset
The 4 x 5 matrix keyboard is decoded using a proprietary keyboard decoder. This device is powered down and remains dormant until a key is pressed causing its clock oscillator to be initialised. The key is decoded and the 38kHz modulated signal is fed to a PIC processor. The processor decodes the output from the keyboard decoder into RS232. This output is fed to an RS232 line driver. The corded handset’s power is supplied directly from the T20-a, 5V power supply . The handset contains a DC-DC converter to supply 3.3V for the keyboard decoder. There are indicator LED’s to show the charge status of the table batteries (main and standby).

4.0 SAFETY WARNINGS
4.1 ‘Service position’
When the four M10 screws (each side) that secure the trunk sections to the pedestal are removed, to place the table in the ‘Service position’ as detailed in section 1.9, always take extreme care (and ensure table is switched ‘off’ before tilting top into or out off the ‘Service position’). When the M10 screws are removed the table trunk sections may tilt dramatically unless the sections are fully supported during screw removal. Always lower the trunk sections into (and out of) the ‘Service position’ slowly and always return the table trunk sections to the ‘normal’ position (taking care not to trap fingers) as soon as possible, replacing the eight M10 screws securely. Also remove the following before placing the table into the ‘Service position’:
Head section Leg section
Trunk mattress All accessories When powering the table in the ‘Service position’ using tool T2203 (to connect the table top connector blocks) extreme care should be taken and powering the table in this position should be limited to essential testing only . It is preferable to return the table out of the ‘Service position’ before powering the table.
4.2 Lifting
During some of the procedures detailed in this manual it is necessary to lift heavy assemblies. These are the long and short trunk assembly, the wrapround assembly and the telescopic assembly. These all require two people to lift safely and any procedure that requires these to be removed from the table should not be attempted if two people are not available. Other components although not heavy enough to require two people, should be handled using the correct lifting techniques to minimise personnel injury . It is advised that suitable protective footwear is worn when handling heavy parts.
4.3 M10 trunk screw removal
When removing the four M10 (hexagonal head) screws that secure the trunk sections to the column, always ensure that precautions similar to those detailed in 4.1 above are taken. Remove all accessories, sections and trunk mattress and support the trunk sections during screw removal.
4.4 Trend and tilt actuator removal
When the Trend and /or tilt actuators are removed the trunk sections will not be stable. Before removal follow similar precautions to those detailed in section 4.1. Remove all accessories, sections and trunk mattress and support the trunk sections during actuator removal. Replace the actuator as soon as possible.
4.5 Working with mains voltage
The only time that it may be required to work with mains voltage applied to the table is whilst testing the battery charger. During this procedure ensure that normal safe
working procedures are employed for an activity that entails working with mains voltage, such as:
i Reduce the amount of live work to the minimum
possible.
ii Use common sense and stop working if
approached, distractions can kill.
iii Ensure the area is clear of all unnecessary
personnel or warn people in the area to stay clear during live work. Also ensure that you are not entirely alone and that someone could come to your assistance if you should suffer an electric shock.
iv Only use the correct equipment, probes and
cables for the work in hand.
v Mains power should be supplied via an RCD
(residual current device).
vi Turn of f the mains power whenever possible to
reduce risks.
4.6 Gas springs
When removing or servicing the table head and leg sections gas springs refer to the warning in section 6.5.1.2. They do not require lubrication and do not attempt to open them. Also note the disposal notes provided in 6.5.1.2 (vii).
4.7 Hot parts on PCAs
During service and when covers are removed note that parts of the PCAs can become hot enough to cause burns. Beware that touching these assemblies when hot could result in unexpected body movements.
4.8 Biological contamination
During servicing of the table it is advised that protective gloves should be warn to avoid biological contamination. It is preferable that the table be cleaned and disinfected before service.
4.9 Connection of leads
When connecting test leads to the table during service ensure that these do not constitute a tripping hazard.
4.10 Leaking batteries
In the unlikely event of a battery leaking in the table base avoid spreading the contamination (sulphuric acid) and:
i Wear suitable personnel protection (goggles, gloves
etc.) do not smoke and avoid sparks.
ii Use a bonding agent such as sand, or sodium
carbonate to absorb and neutralise the bulk of the electrolyte. Wash (and rinse well) the contaminated area with water, taking care not to splash electronics or any other table base components.
iii Do not flush electrolyte into the sewer system but
dispose of the used bonding agent and all cleaning
materials in accordance with local waste regulations. In the case of skin contact wash and rinse immediately with water. If splashed into eyes rinse well with water and seek medical advice. If acid mist is inhaled, inhale fresh air and seek medical advice.

OPERATION TABLE
5.0 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Power supply assembly
This assembly (Part number 111765) which is located in the table base, has no user serviceable parts and must be changed as a complete unit (also see section 3.1).
5.2 T able fault finding
5.2.1 The ‘Instructions for use’ contains a basic fault finding table that can be used to solve any minor problems. This covers the main user errors (i.e. there is no fault) that can occur when the user has not read and understood the ‘Instructions for use’. It also contains the first line of fault finding (i.e. check external fuses, try another handset, try another mains lead). The following section (5.2.2) provides a test sequence to help determine the fault (for the majority of faults that may occur) that could stop the table responding to an input via a control device. Mechanical faults are normally self evident in that a part is worn, damaged or broken. In this case refer to the appropriate section of this manual for part replacement information. Appendix 3 provides the schematic diagrammes that can also be used in fault finding.
5.2.2 Follow the sequence below to identify most major faults that result in a lack of response to a control command:
1 When the table is initially switched ‘on’ is the table
‘on’ LED (item 23 of Fig. 1.0) bright, dull or ‘off’ for the first few seconds.
If dull turn the table ‘off’ wait at least 10 seconds and then turn back on. If the LED is still dull or ‘off’ this indicates an electronics fault see 5.2.3.
If bright move to 2 below. If it is flashing this also indicates an electronics
fault see 5.2.3.
2 Try the ‘standby control panel’ (any motion except
Trendelenburg), if this fails try the ‘standby control panel’ with the backup battery switch depressed.
If the table works from the ‘standby control panel’ this indicates a fault with the control device or its connection to the table.
If the table works from the ‘standby control panel’ only when the backup battery switch is pressed this indicates a fault with the main batteries (replace the whole Power supply unit).
Now try Trendelenburg from the ‘standby control panel’, if this and only this motion works it indicates a problem with the main control PCA.
3 If one of the motor groups ‘only’ has failed then this
indicates a problem with its associated PCA as follows:
Break and traverse - Three actuator PCA Tilt, T rend and Height - 4 Actuator PCA
This distinction may help in reducing the amount of diagnostics and cover removal.
4 Remove covers and check battery fuses (see
section 5.3.1 and 6.6.26). Also look to see if the PCA indicator lights are flashing ‘on’ for 1 second and ‘off’ for 1 second. If they are ‘off’ or flashing faster, this indicates an electronics fault see 5.2.3.
5 If the fault is only apparent for one motion this could
indicate a failed motor or failed sensor for that motion, or, an electronics fault. If the motion starts and then stops immediately this could indicate a failed sensor or an over current situation. Test motor (as detailed in section 6.6), if the motor works and no small movement is observed following a demand for that motion, it indicates an electronics fault, see 5.2.3.
5.2.3 Electronic faults can only be determined with the table connected to a PC with the ‘T20 Application Software’ installed. Consult the Application Software Manual (as detailed in section 1.1) which provides guidance on fault diagnosis. Also note that when correcting electronic faults (and following some parts replacement) the table will require reprogramming, reconfiguring or recalibration. These aspects are also fully covered in the Application Software Manual.
5.2.4 Break motion control
5.2.4.1 The two break arms are independently controlled and are synchronised to operate within a programmed limit of each other. This control system can result in small variances that appear as a slight misalignment, this is acceptable and a part of the normal table control software routine. In the unlikely event that this deviation goes outside of the programmed limit the table break motion (only) will stop working. This can sometimes be corrected as below .
5.2.4.2 Whilst observing the two break arms press (for approximately 0.5 seconds only) a break control button on the handset (B7 or B8 of Fig. 6.9) once or twice. If this makes the deviation worse press the other break control button as above once or twice. If the break motion still does not work correctly after this there could be a fault in one of the following:
Break motor Break potentiometer Wiring to any of the above Significant uneven table loading*
*This problem will only be evident during use and if
investigated at service it will be difficult to reproduce.
5.2.5 Trunk section connector blocks
5.2.5.1 If all the top table functions stop working (e.g. break and traverse) the connector blocks (item 5, Fig. 6.7 and item 14, Fig 6.3) could be failing to connect correctly due to contamination etc. Check that a good contact is being made between the column and trunks connector blocks.
5.3 Fuse location
5.3.1 All fuse locations are identified in section 2.5.4 and Fig. 1.0. DO NOT REMOVE OR CHANGE INLINE BA TTERY
FUSES UNLESS YOU HA VE READ SECTION 6.6.26.

6.3 TABLE BASE COMPONENTS
6.3.1 The following parts on the table base may need replacement in the event of wear, damage, or malfunction, (see notes in each section) for the Power supply assembly see section 6.6.5. The procedures for these are detailed in the following sections:
6.3.2 Batteries
6.3.3 Pedal dampers
6.3.4 Front wheels
6.3.5 Castors
6.3.6 Brake pads
6.3.7 Castor pillar bushes
6.3.8 Pedal spindle bushes
6.3.9 Lifting roller assembly
6.3.10 Pedal catch block
6.3.11 Pedal anti-skid pads
6.3.12 Pedal catch pawl and spring
Fig. 6.2a shows the general arrangement for a table with external pedal catches and Fig. 6.2b and Fig. 6.2c show the general arrangement for a table with internal pedal catches (Fig. 6.2c shows the new base arrangement for tables having a Serial number prefix of T2AC or later). These figures identify the main parts of the table base assembly, refer to them as required. Ensure you refer to the correct instructions according to the type of pedal catch fitted to the table (also see section 6.1.9) and base arragemnet according to table height. Always ensure the correct parts are used during part replacement, refer to the illustrated Parts list.
6.3.2 Batteries
IMPORT ANT NOTE: See section 6.6.26 (battery management system
reconditioning) before changing the batteries.
i Check fuses in the event of power failure before
replacing batteries (before removing or replacing either battery inline fuse see section 6.6.26).
ii Ensure the table is switched ‘off’ at the main column
switch. If batteries are suspect do not change a them unless they are obviously faulty using the following notes as a guide.
a) The fully charged (single) battery voltage should
be at least 12.5V (or a series voltage of 25-27.5V per pair) and a series voltage of between 23.5V and 25.5V when powering the tilt motor (table not loaded). To test the standby batteries press and hold the standby battery switch whilst operating the tilt motor via a handset.
b) Each battery within a pair should be at the same
voltage (i.e. within 0.5V of each other).
c) If the voltage of one battery is significantly lower
than the other (> 2V) change the Power supply assembly .
iii When changing batteries always change them as a
pair (main or standby). Disconnect them at the inline connector on the top of each battery .
iv Replace covers, if required recondition the battery
management system (see section 6.6.26) and check table functions.
6.3.3 Pedal dampers.
To replace a pedal damper if operation of the associated pedal shows sign of unit failure (pedal operation not damped), or oil is visible during inspection of the base during maintenance, refer to Fig. 6.2a or 6.2b as appropriate and proceed as follows.
i Ensure both pedals are in the raised position. ii Remove the appropriate base cover as detailed in
section 6.2.2.1.
iii To gain easier access for this procedure remove
the damper angle bracket from the table base plate by removing its two retaining screws. This will enable the damper to be swung out and up clear of its low position making removal of the pivot pins easier.
iv Note the orientation of the spring clip on the piston
pivot pins, this is critical and must be copied when replacing them (the limb of the clip should rest against the pedal anchor block to stop any lateral movement of the pedal assembly). Remove both the pivot pins and the faulty damper.
v Replace the damper with a new unit (piston end to
the pedal anchor block end not the damper angle bracket end). When replacing pivot pins apply grease (part number 110477) and ensure the piston spring clip is in the correct orientation as noted in ‘iv’ above.

6.5 TABLE SECTIONS
This section is split into two parts as follows:
6.5.1 Head and leg section (see Fig. 6.4).
6.5.2 Trunk sections, long and short (see Figs. 6.5 to 6.7).
6.5.1 Head and leg section
The following parts may need replacement in the event of wear or damage (see notes below in each section) and the procedures for these are detailed below:
6.5.1.1 Guide pins
6.5.1.2 Gas springs
6.5.1.3 Cover
6.5.1.4 Gas spring release head / pivot pin
6.5.1.5 Gas spring release handle
6.5.1.6 X-ray translucent top
See Fig. 6.4 for the general arrangement of the head and leg section assembly , the figure shows the leg section, but note that the head section is similar (no cross bar or middle side bar screws).
6.5.1.1 Guide pins
To replace a guide pin if worn or damaged remove the retaining screw and refit a new pin. Apply threadlock to the screw (part number 670650) and lubricate the pin sparingly with grease (part number 1 10477). Tighten securing screw to a torque setting of 8Nm. Check section fits table correctly .
6.5.1.2 Gas springs
WARNING
Gas springs are filled with high-pressure gas. DO NOT attempt to open them, see section
6.5.1.2 (vii) before disposal.
CAUTION
Gas springs do not require
additional lubrication.
To replace a gas spring if it shows sign of oil leakage or has become spongy (pressure applied on one side of the section produces noticeably more movement than the other) proceed as follows:
casting until play has been removed between the
release handle actuator and the gas spring release
button, then back off approximately half a turn. Apply
threadlock (part number 670650) and tighten the
piston-locking nut onto the release head casting. v Apply grease (part number 110477) to the shank
and threadlock (part number 670650) to the thread
of the shoulder screw and replace it into the

iv Reconnect the loom, reassemble (refer to section
6.2.3.2) and fully test the function of the new standby panel.
6.6.26 Battery management reconditioning
Battery management system reconditioning must be performed if the inline battery fuses or the batteries are disconnected for longer than 60 seconds or the table is stored without charging for an extended period of time. The system is reconditioned by fully charging the batteries so that both LEDs on the base turn green followed by discharging the table fully (i.e. until the main battery indicator on the handset turns red). The table can then be fully charged and used as normal. The process of fully discharging the batteries can be achieved during normal use although the handset indication will not give the true indication of battery capacity on this first discharge (i.e. LED may go from green straight to red).
6.7 FUNCTION TESTS
Before and after any maintenance procedure (part replacement, adjustment, calibration etc.) the table should be tested for function as follows:
6.7.1 Batteries
Check that both sets of batteries are charged by checking the corded handset LEDs, they should be ‘green’. If either of the battery charge LEDs show ‘amber’ or ‘red’ place batteries on charge (leave table with batteries on charge at the end of the function test if both LEDs have not changed to ‘green’).
6.7.2 Battery charger
Check that when plugged into the mains the battery charging light shows ‘red’ or ‘amber’ (it will only show a ‘green’ LED after a two hour top-up battery charge). Also note Caution in section 1.0.
6.7.3 Corded handset
If the table has a corded handset operate the table through the cycle of movements detailed below in section 6.7.9 to test all the table functions and the corded handset.
6.7.4 Infrared handset
If the table also has an infrared handset and the table movements have been tested using a corded handset as above, test the infrared handset by operating at least a third of the functions briefly from the infrared handset. If the table movements have not been tested using the corded handset operate the table through the cycle of movements detailed below in section 6.7.9 to test all the functions using the infrared handset. Check that the infrared handset operates the table up to 1.5 meters.
6.7.5 Footswitch control

2.2 Connect one probe of the ‘Megger’ to a side rail of the table and the other probe of the ‘Megger’ to the surface of a castor wheel, of the castor assembly, to which the antistatic resistor is connected. The reading should be 6.6M ± 10%.
2.3 Connect one probe of the ‘Megger’ to a side rail of the table and the other probe of the ‘Megger’ to the surface of any other castor wheel (i.e. not the one used in 2.2). The reading should be >100MΩ.
3.0 Enclosure leakage current
3.1 Using Tool No. 110721 and a DVM (digital voltage meter) test the enclosure leakage current of the table as below. (Note that in the tests that follow, 1mV=1µA)
3.2 Connect T ool No. 1 10721 to the mains and plug the table mains cord into the tool’s socket.
3.3 Connect the other end of the table mains cord into the table’s mains inlet socket.
3.4 Connect the ‘Green’ socket of the tool to the ‘Enclosure leakage test probe’.
3.5 Connect the ‘Enclosure leakage test probe’ to a side rail of the table.
3.6 Connect the cords from the DVM (either way round) to the two ‘Black’ sockets of Tool 1 10721.
3.7 With switches 1 and 2 of the Tool ‘off’ and switch 3 ‘on’, the DVM should read, ‘>10µA & <50µA’ (if <10µA or >50µA there is a fault). Note reading for later . Disconnect the ‘Enclosure leakage test probe’ from the table and the DVM should read ‘0’.
3.8 With switches 1 and 3 of the Tool ‘on’ and switch 2 ‘off’, the DVM should still read, ‘>10µA & <50µA ’ (if <10µA or >50µA there is a fault). Disconnect the ‘Enclosure leakage test probe’ from the table and the DVM should read ‘0’.
3.9 With switches 1,2 and 3 of the Tool all ‘off’ and the ‘Enclosure leakage test probe’ disconnected from the table, the DVM should read the same as noted in 3.7.
3.10 If readings above are too high this could be that a long mains cord is in use, if too low this could be mains supply is not ‘on’, mains fuses in table have blown, fuse in mains plug has blown, connection of equipment incorrect, or there is a fault in the table (mains wiring has failed open circuit).
3.11 Repeat sections 3.5 - 3.9 above but connect the ‘Enclosure leakage test probe’ to the middle two column covers simultaneously instead of to the side rail.
