2Technical Description
The pressure regulated pump units listed in section 1 provide pressurised air for alternating pressure
mattress systems which are used in aiding the prevention, treatment and management of pressure
ulcers.
Pressurised air is fed to a range of support systems, mattresses, seat cushions etc., which support
patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
All pumps are self-contained units powered by the single phase mains/power supply. Low air
pressure and power failure alarm functions are included in some models, and pump output pressure
is adjustable by means of a rotary control mounted on the unit front panel.
Operating Principle
Refer to Figure 1 for details of the pneumatic circuit. All pumps have two pressurised air outlets, air
from the outlets is fed to separate cells or groups of cells in the mattress or cushion via a rotary valve.
The support cells are continuously inflated and deflated utilising a ten minute cycle. During the cycle,
air is pumped from one outlet for 4 minutes 10 seconds, there is then a period of 50 seconds where
air is pumped from both outlets. Air is then pumped from the other outlet for 4 minutes 10 seconds,
followed by a 50 second period where air is supplied from both outlets. During the period when air is
suppled from a single outlet to one group of cells, the opposing outlet is vented to atmosphere,
deflating the corresponding cells.

Figure 1 - Pneumatic Diagram and Pressure Variations
For the Aura mini pump small adjustments can be made to cell pressure using the comfort control
knob on the pump unit. This is a patient comfort feature to make small adjustments to the softness or
firmness of the support cells. All other mini pumps have a pressure adjustment control that must be
set to the patient weight in accordance with the instructions given in the relevant user manual and/or
the pump labels.
The range of air pressure delivered by the series of pumps varies, as does the achievable flow rate.
One extreme of pressure range can be adjusted by obtaining access to a screw under the pressure
control knob; see Table 3 for details of pressure variations. The range achievable is fixed by the
pressure control spring, only the set pressure can be reset.

System Start Up Sequence
All pump types must be connected to the appropriate mains/power supply via a suitable plug.
After a mechanical pump is switched on the start up sequence is as follows:
MMME EME
•
The ON/OFF switch lever will be illuminated green.
Issue 2Chap 1
Nov 2001SER0004Page 5
IntroductionMini Pump Service Manual
The red ‘low pressure’ indicator will be illuminated. When operating pressure is achieved, the
•
low pressure indicator will be extinguished automatically.
After an electronic pump is switched to ‘Run’ the start up sequence is as follows:
The unit performs a diagnostic self test, illuminating all LED indicators and sounding the
•
audible alarm. If an internal fault is sensed or a problem with the wiring of the mains/power
sense switch, the pump will remain in this state. If the self test is successful then the start up
sequence will proceed.
On start up, the low pressure alarm will be inhibited until one minute after the low pressure
•
signal is deactivated. The amber WAIT indicator will be illuminated while the low pressure
alarm is inhibited. (See Low pressure Protocol) Other functions will work as normal.
Note: Aura (ALS) model has no WAIT indicator; apart from this one difference, however, the Aura
pump performs the same as the other electronic pump units.
Low Pressure Alarm (Electronic Units Only)
When the alarm is activated, the red LOW PRESSURE indicator will flash, in combination with an
audible warning which increases in pitch with time. The alarm can be reset by momentarily switching
the pump to ‘Stand by’ and then back to ‘Run’. Alternatively, the alarm will automatically reset after
15 minutes provided that the low pressure switch is not activated during this time. If however the low
pressure switch is activated (for more than 15 seconds) during this time, the timer will reset to zero
and the alarm will continue for a further 15 minutes.
Low Pressure Alarm (All Units)
On all pump units except the ALS model the low air pressure alarm will be activated on or before
5 mmHg and deactivated before the pressure reaches 17 mmHg.
For the ALS model only, the low air pressure alarm will be activated on or before 50 mmHg and
deactivated at or before 82 mmHg.
Low Pressure Alarm Protocol (Electronic Units Only)
The low pressure alarm will be activated only when the requirements of the low pressure alarm
protocol have been met by a sequence of low pressure signals. The system is designed to detect low
pressure fault conditions without responding to spurious signals due to patient movement, mattress
cell crossover, short term tube disconnection etc.
In order to generate a low pressure alarm the system must detect three low pressure switch closure,
of 15 seconds duration each, within a 25 minute period. There will be a 2 minute lockout between the
first and second switch closures as well as between second and third switch closures. The lockout
period is to allow temporary disconnection of tubing.
In addition to the above, a wait period of 25 minutes is allowed on start up. During this time the low
pressure alarm is inhibited to allow inflation of the mattress to operating pressure. If, during this wait
period, the low pressure switch is activated (i.e., the system is up to pressure), the wait period will be
terminated 1 minute later, and normal protocol is obeyed thereafter.
Power Failure Alarm (Electronic Units Only)
In the event of a power failure, the red POWER FAIL indicator will flash in combination with an
audible warning which increases with time.
If the power supply is restored, the audible alarm will stop, but the indicator will remain illuminated
(continuously) until the system is reset. Resetting, by switching the pump to ‘Stand by’ and then back
to ‘Run’, will clear all alarm indications.
Chap 1Issue 2
Page 6SER0004Nov 2001
Mini Pump Service ManualIntroduction
The power failure alarm is initiated by the removal of the mains/power supply from the unit for a
period of more than 5 seconds, by a means other than operation of the ‘Run/Standby’ switch. A drop
in the supply voltage below the minimum supply specification will be interpreted as a supply failure. If
power is restored within 5 seconds, no alarm is given and normal operation is resumed.
A battery backup supply provides power to operate the visual and audible alarm.
Battery Management (Electronic Units Only)
On switching the pump to ‘Run’, the processor automatically initiates a standard charge sequence
(3 mA) for a predetermined period. On completion of the standard charge period, a trickle charge
(0.9 mA) will be applied to the battery for the remainder of the operating period.
When discharging during a power failure alarm, the battery supply will be shut down in a controlled
manner if the terminal voltage falls below 4.6 V before the alarm duration has expired.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1General
This section details some problems which may occur after a long period of use and the appropriate
procedures to correct them.
The Alpha Relief, Aura and AlphaXcell (electronic) pump units are fitted with a visual and audible
alarm for LOW PRESSURE and POWERFAIL alarm conditions. The alarm for the AlphaBed, Care
and Trancell (mechanical) pump units are limited to a visual red LOW PRESSURE (!) lamp indicator.
The alarm automatically resets when the operating pressure is regained. See Table 4 for details of
the each product’s visual indicators.
Table 29 gives a quick reference to common problems, possible causes and actions. Refer to the
table first when carrying out troubleshooting on a pump.

2Low Pressure fault indicated (checks without dismantling the pump)
Check the following before dismantling the pump unit.
Perform the pressure, flow and low pressure alarm tests as specified in Chap. 5 (Testing). If the
results are satisfactory, the mattress is at fault.
Note : All testing must be done when pumps are warm, ie. they have been running with closed ports
for at least 1 hour.
Check:
2.1All tubing connections on pump and mattress are securely fastened and snap locked into place.
2.2Check that the rapid deflate stopper or CPR is fitted correctly (Refer to Mattress Service
Manual, SER0005).
Chap 4Issue 2
Page 2SER0004Nov 2001
Mini Pump Service ManualTroubleshooting
2.3If the alarm still indicates, visually inspect tubing and mattress cells for punctures or tears and
check they are fitted to the manifold correctly. Refer to the mattress service manual SER0005
for full details.
WARNING:
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DURING THE FOLLOWING TESTS, LIVE
TERMINALS AND CONDUCTORS MAY BE EXPOSED. EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION.
3Loss of Output Pressure (checks by dismantling the pump)
If the low pressure alarm operates when both pump outlets are blocked or the pump does not pass
the flow test in Chapter 5 (Testing), the pump unit internal compressor should be tested as follows:
3.1Remove the rear case (Refer to Chap 3, Page 5).
3.2Disconnect the white pneumatic tube from the compressor F-Tube connector.
3.3Connect the pressure gauge to the compressor F-Tube connector and switch the pump unit on.
The pressure reading should be at least 100 mmHg.
3.4If the pressure does not reach 100 mmHg, the compressor is at fault. Either replace the
compressor or remove the compressor lid, remove the silencer bag from the valve bodies and
connect the pressure gauge to each valve body in turn. The pressure should be approximately
100 mmHg in each case. (Refer to Chap 3, Section 22).
3.5If the required pressure cannot be reached then the bellows/armature assemblies and valve
bodies must be replaced (Refer to Chap 3, Section 23). If the required pressure is obtained
then the silencer bag must be replaced. (Refer to Chap 3, Section 22).
Note : The flow/pressure performance of a compressor may be altered by heating the new bellows
and adjusting the ‘E’ stack gap.
3.6If the compressor is operating correctly but the correct pressure cannot be obtained at the
pump outlet then the rotor/stator, pressure control module and snap-lock connectors must be
checked. Reassemble the compressor and attach pressure rig to pump outlet again.
3.7Remove the gearbox and rotor/stator, clean all dust off rotor/stator and reassemble with new
gasket. If rotor/stator is chipped or damaged, replace components (Refer to Chap 3, Section
37). If this does not correct the problem, check the pressure control.
3.8Push on the pressure control flap (Fig 19, Item 20) to press the seal (Fig 19, Item 70) against
the valve seat. Check the pressure control bag inflates fully and pushes on the flap, if not, the
bag could be split - check and replace as necessary.
3.9If the snap-lock connectors or tubing show signs of damage, replace. If there is still a problem,
re-check in the following order:
•
compressor
•
rotor/stator assembly
•
pressure control assembly
•
connections
If pressure/flow still cannot be achieved, return pump to Service department.

TroubleshootingMini Pump Service Manual
4Low Pressure Alarm Fault
If the low pressure alarm does not function correctly after recalibration as described in Chap. 5
(Testing), check:
4.1The electrical connections and leads between the low pressure micro-switch and the printed
circuit board.
4.2Check that switch is operating and n/o terminals (1-3) are in use.
4.3Check free movement of lower flap.
4.4Check low pressure switching point with an external pressure meter.
4.5Check the pressure control module for leaks.
4.6Check the location and orientation of low pressure spring and disc by removing upper and
lower flaps.
5Air Not Alternating (continuous pressure fault)
Should the cells of the mattress not inflate and deflate during a 10-minute cycle, then the timer motor
may be defective (not rotating).
5.1Check the timer motor electrical connections for security and integrity. If all are sound and the
timer motor still does not rotate, then the timer motor must be replaced.
Notes : The timer motor is a sealed unit and cannot be repaired.
When replacing the timer motor it is advisable to replace the stator gasket at the same
time. Refer to Chap. 3 (Pump Repair).
6Loss of Electrical Power
Power loss can be due to any of the following:
6.1No electricity supply at wall socket.
6.2Faulty wall socket.
6.3Damaged plug or mains/power cable.
6.4Defective fuse link in pump or plug.
6.5Damaged internal wiring.
6.6Loose connections at the terminal block, micro-switch or PCB.
6.7Faulty PCB component.

WARNING
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DURING THE FOLLOWING TESTS, LIVE
TERMINALS AND CONDUCTORS MAY BE EXPOSED. EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION.
Note: Pump units fitted with an alarm monitoring PCB should have the low pressure alarm
settings tested within 60 seconds of switching the pump on.
1.8Remove the rear case assembly (Refer to Chap 3, Section 6).
1.8.1Fit snap-lock connectors to both outlet ports. Connect the pressure gauge and a
bleed valve to the duty port.
1.8.2Connect a buzzer or LED to the microswitch terminals to indicate microswitch
operation (see Chap 4, Fig 24 for microswitch terminal connections).
1.8.3Ensure that the bleed valve is fully closed, Ensure that the low pressure adjustment
screw (on the upper flap) is fully disengaged. Turn the arbour clockwise and
counter-clockwise over the full range three or four times. Leave it in the fully
counter-clockwise position.
1.8.4Turn the pressure control knob until the indicated pressure is 50 mmHg (maximum
setting for Aura models only).
1.8.5Open the bleed valve to induce a leak, until the pressure is 10 mmHg (60 mmHg for
Aura models only).
1.8.6The microswitch should activate before the pressure reaches X mmHg descending
and deactivate before the pressure reaches Y mmHg ascending, as specified in
Table 34.
1.8.7Set the low pressure adjustment screw so that the microswitch activates at this set
level. Do this very slowly. Adjust the pressure up and down by means of the bleed
valve and verify that the microswitch goes on and off accordingly.
1.8.8Replace the rear cover (Refer to Chap 3, Section 7).

Electrical Safety Checks – Class ll
There are several electrical safety checks that must be carried out after breakdown repairs, rental
re-checks and servicing. Where alternatives are given, the test will depend upon the available
equipment. The tests are as follows:
•
Insulation Resistance Test (Megger Test) or
•
Dielectric Strength (Flash Test)
Insulation Resistance Test
This test checks the integrity of the appliance’s insulation.
For all appliances, this test is applied between the connected Live and Neutral wires and the
appliance’s metal compressor assembly box.
Specification: 500 Vdc is applied to the insulation and the measured resistance must be greater
than 2 MW. This test can be conducted by using a Portable Appliance Tester. Also check the
continuity of the mains cable.
Dielectric Strength Test (Flash Test)
This test shows the response of the insulation to high ac-voltage stress, to the effects of the
capacitive current and gives an early warning of any electrical problems developing in the appliance.
Leakage Circuit Test (USA)
Measure the risk currents in accordance with the ANSI-AAMI ESI-1993 Standard (American National
Standard Safe Current Limits for Electromedical Apparatus) or as specified in UL 2601-1.

WARNINGS:
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT TOUCH ANY EXPOSED PARTS
WHILE CONDUCTING THIS TEST. DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF YOUR
BODY WITH THE CONTACTS OF THE PROBES.
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT BE USED IF YOU HAVE A HEARING AID
OR PACEMAKER FITTED, DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE.
Specification: 3.0 kVac is applied between the connected Live and Neutral wires and the appliance’s
metal compressor assembly box. No breakdown should occur.
Note : The voltage levels used for this test, may stress and weaken the insulation. This test, is
therefore not recommended as a routine test. It should only be used after a major
assembly/disassembly has been completed.
3PCB Functional Tests (Electrical Units Only)
Tests must be carried out using a 220-240 V, 50 Hz power supply.
Test Setup and Initial Switch On
3.1Install the mating parts of the snap-lock connectors on the pump outlets so that both outlets are
open to atmosphere. Set the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise.
3.2Connect the mains/power cable to a suitable power socket outlet and then set the run/standby
switch to ‘run’. All four indicator lights should illuminate and the audible alarm should sound for
about 3 seconds. The green ON indicator, the amber WAIT indicator and the LOW
PRESSURE indicator will remain on. The POWER FAIL indicator light should extinguish.
Power Fail Alarm Check
3.3With the pump operating, disconnect the power supply at the power socket outlet then
reconnect it after 4 seconds. Verify that no alarms are given and normal operation is resumed.
3.4Again disconnect the power supply at the power socket outlet. Verify that, after 5 seconds, the
red POWER FAIL indicator flashes in conjunction with the audible alarm. The WAIT indicator
should go off when the POWER FAIL alarm indicator flashes. Reconnect the power supply.
Verify that the POWER FAIL indicator is extinguished.
3.5Operate the run/standby switch to ‘standby’ and verify that all indicators are off. After 5
seconds, operate the switch back to ‘run’. Verify that all alarm indications are cleared and
normal operation is resumed. Operate the run/standby switch to ‘standby’.
Low Pressure Alarm Check
3.6Use suitable sealing caps to close the ports. Operate the run/standby switch to ‘run’. Verify
that, after 1 minute, the WAIT indicator is extinguished.
3.7Open both ports to atmosphere. Verify that, after 4 minutes and 45 seconds, the red LOWPRESSURE indicator flashes in conjunction with the audible alarm.
3.8Operate the run/standby switch to ‘standby’ and back to ‘run’. Verify that all alarm indications
are cleared and normal operation is resumed.
