to para 4.1).
C. Theory of Operation (120 VAC Units) (See Figure
5-1 for wiring diagram and Figure 5-2 for electrical schematic).
Electrical Power:
Line voltage (120 VAC) is supplied to the chair’s PC circuit board thru the chair’s po wer cord and a terminal
board. There is a 1/2 amp line input fuse on the PC circuit board which protects the board’s circuitry from
power spikes or excessive current draw. A transformer
on the PC circuit board reduces the line voltage to 12
VDC. The 12 VDC provides power to operate the circuitry on the PC circuit board, limit switches, membrane
switch panel, and optional foot control.
Operation of Membrane Switch Panel:
The PC circuit board supplies 12 VDC to one side of
each of the normally open (N.O.) switches in the membrane switch panel. When the operator presses a
membrane switch, the N.O. contacts for that switch are
closed, completing a circuit; this allows the 12 VDC signal to return to the PC circuit board, activating the function the operator selected.
Back Up Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the BACK UP switch on
either the membrane switch panel or foot control, the
N.O. s witch closes, allowing the 12 VDC signal to return
to the PC circuit board, enabling the function. When the
Back Up function is enabled, the PC circuit board energizes the Back Up relay coil. Line voltage (115 VAC) is
continuously supplied to one of the output contacts of
the Back Up relay. So, when the N.O. output contacts
of the relay close, 115 VAC is applied across the windings of the back motor causing it to run.
The PC circuit board also monitors the Back Up limit
switch. When not tripped, the N.C. Back Up limit switch
completes a closed circuit, allowing a 12 VDC signal
(supplied by the PC circuit board) to return to the PC circuit board which allows the Back Up function to continue to run. When the N.C. switch is tripped (indicating
the back motor is at its “up” limit), the limit switch circuit
opens, stopping the 12 VDC signal from returning to the
PC circuit board. The PC circuit board then deenergizes the Back Up relay, causing the back motor to stop.
Figure 1-1. Major Components
Operation of Foot Control:
The PC circuit board supplies 12 VDC to the common
terminals of the four N.O. switches (BACK UP, BACK
DOWN, BASE UP, BASE DOWN) and the N.O. AUTO
EXIT / AUTO OPERATE program switch. When the
operator depresses one of the switches, the N.O. contacts for that switch are closed, completing a circuit; this
allows the 12 VDC signal to return to the circuit board,
activating the function the operator selected. Two manual functions may be activated at once by pushing the
foot pedal in between two functions.
Back Down Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the BACK DOWN switch
on either the membrane switch panel or foot control, the
N.O. s witch closes, allowing the 12 VDC signal to return
to the PC circuit board, enabling the function. When the
Back Down function is enabled, the PC circuit board
energizes the Back Down relay coil. Line voltage (115
VAC) is continuously supplied to one of the output contacts of the Back Down relay. So, when the N.O. output
contacts of the relay close, 115 VAC is applied across
the windings of the back motor causing it to run. When
the back motor reaches its “down” limit, a N.C. limi t
switch located internally within the back motor opens,
opening the motor winding circuit and causing the back
motor to stop. When the operator releases the BACK
DOWN switch, the PC circuit board then deenergizes
the Back Down relay.
Base Up Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the BASE UP switch on
either the membrane switch panel or foot control, the
N.O. s witch closes, allowing the 12 VDC signal to return
to the PC circuit board, enabling the function. When the
Base Up function is enabled, the PC circuit board energizes the Base Up relay coil. Line voltage (115 VAC) is
continuously supplied to one of the output contacts of
the Base Up relay. So, when the N.O. output contacts
of the relay close, 115 VAC is applied across the windings of the base motor causing it to run.
The PC circuit board also monitors the Base Up limit
switch. When not tripped, the N.C. Base Up limit switch
completes a closed circuit, allowing a 12 VDC signal
(supplied by the PC circuit board) to return to the PC circuit board, which allows the Base Up function to continue to run. When the N.C. limit switch is tripped
(indicating the base motor is at its “up” limit), the switch
circuit opens, stopping the 12 VDC signal from returning
to the PC circuit board. The PC circuit board then deenergizes the Base Up relay, causing the base motor to
stop.
Base Down Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the BASE DOWN switch
on either the membrane switch panel or foot control, the
N.O. s witch closes, allowing the 12 VDC signal to return
to the PC circuit board, enabling the function. When the
Base Down function is enabled, the PC circuit board
energizes the Base Down relay coil. Line voltage (115
VAC) is continuously supplied to one of the output contacts of the Base Down relay. So, when the N.O. output
contacts of the relay close, 115 VAC is applied across
the windings of the base motor causing it to run.
The PC circuit board also monitors the Base Down limit
switch. When not tripped, the N.C. Base Down Limit
Switch completes a closed circuit, allowing a 12 VDC
signal (supplied by the PC circuit board) to return to the
PC circuit board which allows the Base Down function
to continue to run. When the N.C. limit switch is tripped
(indicating the base motor is at its “down” limit), the
switch circuit opens, stopping the 12 VDC signal from
returning to the PC circuit board. The PC circuit board
then deenergizes the Base Down relay, causing the
base motor to stop.
Auto Exit Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the AUTO EXIT switch on
either the membrane switch panel or foot control, the
N.O. s witch closes, allowing the 12 VDC signal to return
to the PC circuit board, enabling the function. When the
Auto Exit function is enabled, the PC circuit board energizes the Base Down and Back Up relay coils. Line
voltage (115 VA C) is continuously supplied to one of the
output contacts on each of the two relays. So, when the
N.O. output contacts of the two relays close, 115 VA C is
applied across the windings of the base and back
motors causing them to run.
The PC circuit board also monitors the Base Down and
Back Up limit switches. When not tripped, the N.C.
switches complete a closed circuit, allowing a 12 VDC
signal (supplied by the PC circuit board) to return to the
PC circuit board which allows the Base Down and Back
Up functions to continue to run. When the N.C.
switches are tripped (indicating the motors are at the
“Exit” position), the switch circuits open, stopping the 12
VDC signals from returning to the PC circuit board. The
PC circuit board then deenergizes the Base Down and
Back Up relays, causing the motors to stop.
Auto Operate Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the AUTO OPERATE
switch on either the membrane switch panel or foot control, the N.O. switch closes, allowing the 12 VDC signal
to return to the PC circuit board, enabling the function.
When the Auto Operate function is enabled, the PC circuit board energizes the Base Up and Back Down relay
coils. Line voltage (115 VAC) is continuously supplied
to one of the output contacts on each of the two relays.
So, when the N.O. output contacts of the two relays
close, 115 VAC is applied across the windings of the
base and back motors causing them to run.
The PC circuit board also monitors Base Up Program
limit switch and Back Down Program limit switch. When
not tripped, the N.C. switches complete a closed circuit,
allowing a 12 VDC signal (supplied by the PC circuit
board) to return to the PC circuit board which allows the
Base Up and Back Down functions to continue to run.
When the N.C. limit switches are tripped, indicating the
motors have reached their manually programmed positions (both of the limit switch stops can be manually
adjusted by the operator to “program” a desired exam /
procedure position), the limit switch circuits are opened
stopping the 12 VDC signals from returning to the PC
circuit board. The PC circuit board then deenergizes
the Base Up and Back Down relays, causing the motors
to stop.
Lamp Function Operation:
When the operator depresses the Lamp On / Off switch
on the membrane switch panel, the N.O. switch closes,
allowing the 12 VDC signal to return to the PC circuit
board, enabling the function. When the lamp function is
enabled, the PC circuit board energizes the Lamp relay
coil. Line voltage (115 VAC) is continuously supplied to
one of the output contacts of the Lamp relay. So, when
the N.O. output contacts of the relay close, 115 VAC is
applied across the lamp transformer’s primary input
leads. The lamp transformer reduces the voltage to
12.7 VAC which is output from the transformer’s sec-
ondary leads. The 12.7 V A C is applied across the lamp
bulb, causing it to illuminate. When the operator
presses the Lamp On / Off switch again, the lamp relay
is deenergized, causing the lamp bulb to extinguish.
Fuses:
There are three operational fuses on the PC circuit
board. The line input 1/2 amp fuse protects the board’s
low voltage circuitry from power spikes or excessive
current draw. A spare 1/2 amp fuse is located directly to
the left side of the operational fuse. The motor 10 amp
fuse protects the board’s high voltage circuitry and
motors from power spikes or excessive current draw. A
spare 10 amp fuse is located directly to the left side of
the operational fuse. The lamp 1/2 amp fuse protects
the board’s lamp circuitry, lamp transformer, and lamp
components from power spikes or excessive current
draw. This fuse is the same as the line input 1/2 amp
fuse; therefore the spare line input fuse can also be
used as the spare for the lamp 1/2 amp fuse.
General Motor Information:
Both the base motor and back motor have a capacitor in
the motor winding circuit which provide motor start and
motor run power.
The base and back motors have directional windings.
When an up function is selected, power is applied
across the windings in one direction, causing the motor
to run forward. When a down function is selected,
power is applied across the windings in the opposite
direction, causing the motor to run backward.
The motors have a ball screw which turns when the
motor runs. A nut, mounted on the ball screw is either
retracted or advanced when the ball screw turns
(depending on if an up or down function was selected).
Besides the external limit switches which are designed
to stop the chair functions at the chair’s mechanical limits, the back motor also contains internal limit switches
to prevent the motor from reaching its mechanical limit
and damaging the motor. These limit switches are factory set and should not require any adjustments.
Each motor has a thermal overload switch which will
activate if the motor is run continuously and overheats.
The motors are not designed for continuous operation.
The normal cool off period for the thermal overload
switches is 10 - 20 minutes.

the components in the 120 VAC chair. Figures 5-2 and
5-3 illustrate the current flow between the main PC
board plug connectors and related circuitry. Figures 5-4
thru 5-6 show the current flow between the main PC
board and TB1 terminal board and related components.
The illustrated parts list provides information for identifying and ordering the parts necessary to maintain the
unit in peak operating condition. Refer to paragraph 1.5
for parts ordering information.
6.2Descripti on of Colum ns
The Item column of the parts list gives a component its
own unique number. The same number is given to the
component in the parts illustration. This allows a part
number of a component to be found if the technician
can visually spot the part on the illustration. The technician simply finds the component in question on the illustration and notes the item number of that component.
Then, he finds that item number in the parts list. The
row corresponding to the item number gives the technician the part number, a description of the component,
and quantity of parts per subassembly. Also, if a part
number is known, the location of that component can be
determined by looking for the item number of the component on the illustration.
The Part No. column lists the MIDMARK part number
for that component.
The Description column provides a physical description
of the component.
The Qty . column lists the number of units of a particular
component that is required for the subassembly. The
letters “AR” denote “as required” when quantities of a
particular component cannot be determined, such as:
adhesive.
Bullets { • } in the Part No. column and the Description
column show the indenture level of a component. If a
component does not have a bullet, it is a main component of that illustration. If a component has a bullet, it is
a subcomponent of the next component listed higher in
the parts list than itself that does not have a bullet. Likewise, if a component has two bullets, it is a subcomponent of the next component listed higher in the parts list
than itself that has only one bullet.
6.3T or que Specifications and Important
Assembly Notes
When specific assembly torque specifications, measurements, or procedures hav e been identified, by our
engineering department, as required to assure proper
function of the unit, those torque specifications measurements, and procedures will be noted on the parts
illustrations. Adherence to these requirements is essential.
