Description
This manual is written for personnel who service and/or maintain the No vametrix Model 515B
or 515C Pulse Oximeter. The Model 515B/C provides reliable continuous measurement,
display, and alerts for oxygen saturation (SpO
from its rechargeable internal battery or from the AC Mains.
The Model 515B/C measures oxygen saturation using sensors that contain red and infrared (66 0
and 940 nanometer) light sources, called LEDs. The light e nergy from each LED is beamed
through a sample cell—a pulsating vascular bed, the patient’s finger or toe for example. The
remaining light energy not absorbed by the sample cell reaches a light receptor in the sensor,
called a photodiode. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs different amounts of light at each
wavelength as compared to unsaturated blood. Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the
blood in each pulse can be used to calculate oxygen saturation.
The Model 515B/C is calibrated to display “functional” saturation. This differs from the
“fractional” saturation value displayed by most co-oximeters. Functional saturation is defined
as:
Functional Saturation =
= Percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen
HbO
2
COHb = Percentage of carboxyhemoglobin
METHb = Percentage of methemoglobin
) and pulse rate. The monitor can be powered
2
HbO
2
100 - (COHb + METHb)
This can be considered to re present the amount of oxyhem oglobin as a percentage of the
hemoglobin that can be oxygenated. Dysfunctional hemoglobins (COHb and METHb) are not
included in the measurement of functional saturation.
Pulse Rate is calculated by measuring the time interval between peaks of the infrared light
waveform. The inverse of this measurement is displayed as pulse rate.
The oxygen saturation and pulse rate values are upda ted once each second. Presence of a pulse
is indicated visibly by a b ar graph display, a plethysmogram graphic disp lay (Models 515C
only), and audibly by a “beep.”
The Model 515B/C must be used in conjunction with Su perBright™ Sensors. These sensors
have an 8700 series part number (e.g., 8776 or 8791).

Patient Safety
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method of monitoring the oxygen saturation of arterial blood.
Pulse oximeters display oxygen saturation of functional hemo globin an d ther efor e the accuracy
may be interfered with by carboxyhemoglobin or other dyshemoglobins present in significant
concentrations. Oxygen saturation monitoring is intended to be used in a variety of clinical
situations, including, but not limited to respiratory therapy, anesthesia, intensive care, and
emergency.
The Model 515B/C Pulse Oximeter has electrically isolated inputs. Patient leakage current
flowing from the instrument to ground is limited to less than 10 µA at 120 V, 60 Hz. Patient
isolation is greater than 10 MΩ, 2500 V rms at 60 Hz. For maximum patient and operator safety ,
the following procedures are recommended;
• Failure of Operation: If the monitor fails to respond as described, do not use until the
situation has been corrected by qualified personnel.
• Keep the Model 515B/C and its accessories clean.
• Do not operate the Model 515B/C when it is wet due to spills or condensation.
• Do not operate the Model 515B/C
• Connect the line cord only to a grounded hospital grade outlet. Th e Model 515B/C should
be connected to the same electrical circuit as other equipment in use on the patient.
Outlets on the same circuit can be identified by the hospital’s engineering department.
if it appears to have been dropped or damaged.
2.1
Indications and Usage
The Model 515B/C is intended to be used for monitoring functional oxygen satur ation and pulse
rate in circumstances where it is desirable to monitor patient oxygenation. The monitor is
designed to monitor all patients including adult, pediatric, and neonatal. The Model 515B/C is
not intended for any other purpose.
NOTE: Components of this product and its associated accessories which may have patient

!
Warnings
• Explosion Hazard: Do NOT use the Model 515B/C in the presence of flammab le
anesthetics. Use of this instrument in such an environment may present an explosion
hazard.
• Electrical Shock Hazard: Always turn the ox imeter off, and remov e the AC power cord
before cleaning it. Do NOT use a damaged sensor or one with exp osed electrical contacts.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Patient Safety: Extreme care should be exercised with neonates to assure continued
circulation distal to the sensor site after application.
• Failure of Operation: If the oximeter fails to respond as described, do not use it until
the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel.
• Data Validity: The Pulse Oximeter should NOT be used as a substitute for an ECG
monitor. The oximeter’s Pulse Rate display reflects the pulsatile flow found at the patient
extremity connected to the sensor. This rate can be affected by many factors and may
occasionally be “frozen.”
• Care should be exercised to assure continued peripheral perfusion distal to the SpO
sensor site after application.
• Data Validity: Do NOT attach a sensor distal to a blood pressure cuff. Valid data
CANNOT be processed when the cuff is inflated. Attach the sensor to the limb opposite
to the site used for the blood pressure cuff.
• Data Validity: Inaccurate SpO
of the following:
• Do Not apply Y-Sensor tapes or wraps so tightly that circulation is restricted. Inspect site
often for adequate circulation - at least once every four hours. When applying sensors
take note of patient’s physiological condition. For example, burn patients may exhibit
more sensitivity to heat and pressure and therefore additional consideration such as more
frequent site checks may be appropriate.
Warning

Electroni c Theory of Operation
The electronic theory of operation of the Model 515B/C Pulse Oximeter is detailed in the
subsections below. Refer to Section 13, Schematics and Assembly Drawings, on page 63 for
schematics and assembly prints.
5.1
2532/2725 Power Supply Board
The Power Supply Board co ntains the circuitry needed to char ge the battery from th e A C Mains
(line voltage). The monitor may be supplied with either the 2532 or the 2725 power supply
board. The 2532 board is manufactured with thru-hole components while the 2725 is mostly
surface mount technology. The circuitry is identical therefore the theory of operation that
follows applies to both assemblies.
5.1.1
AC Mains and Battery Operation Overview
The Model 515B/C is powered from its internal 12 v olt battery that is charg ed when the monitor
is connected to the A C line. The g reen (sine wave shaped) fron t p anel indicator illuminates
when the line cord is connected and the rear pan el po wer switch is in th e “|” (On) p osition. This
indicates that AC Mains power is charging the battery.
If AC mains power is removed by unplugging the line cord, or setting the rear panel power
switch to the “0” (Off) position, the monitor will operate for up to eight hours from its internal
12 volt lead-acid battery on a full charge. As the battery voltage runs low ( ≈11.5 volts), the
(battery icon) on the front panel will turn orange. At this point, the AC Mains should be
reconnected to charge the battery.
If the monitor continues to be powered from a battery in a low voltage situation, at
approximately 10.5 volts, a continuous alarm sounds for sixty seconds while the battery
indicator will flash red. A “bAt” and “Lo” message will appear in the SpO
displays respectively. If this alarm is ignored, the monitor will shut down . The A C mains sho uld
be connected to the monitor to recharge the battery before this occurs.

5.1.2
Rev. 01Model 515B/C Service Manual
AC Mains Operation
Reference the Overall Wiring Diagram. The AC Mains voltage enters the monitor at the rear
panel Power Entry Module (PEM10 1). This device contains a built in RFI power line filter, a
double-pole single-throw switch that opens and closes both AC input lines, fuses, and an input
voltage selection key.
The filtered, switched, and fused output of the Power Entry Module is fed to the primary coils
of the system transformer, T301. Reference the Power Supply schematic 2532-03 or 2725-03.
The secondary output from T301 is rectified by D1 (bridge rectifier) and filtered by C1. The
(loaded) DC voltage at this point is approximately 20 volts.
The 20 volts DC is fed to the battery charging regulator IC1 (pin 5) through Q1. Biasing for Q1
is accomplished by D2, R1, and R2 when A C po wer is applied. When running on battery po wer ,
11
5
Electronic Theory of Operation
Q1 is biased off by R1, R2, and D3. This prevents the battery from trying to power the battery
charger regulator.
The output of switching regulator IC1 pin4 is rectified and filtered by D4, C4, and L1, then fed
to the battery through current sense resistor R3 and fuse F302, to J302 pin 1 (VBAT+). The
battery float charge voltage is maintained at 13.2 volts ex cept for f ast char ge that is re gulated at
14.4 volts. The output is also monitored for over current conditions. These parameters are
controlled by IC3 and associated circuitry. When the battery charge current exceeds a preset
limit, IC3 pin 7 goes high w hich biases Q2 on, this i n turn shorts out R12 which affects the
feedback control (FB) to IC1 (pin 1). With R12 shorted out, the control resistors R14 and R13
set the output voltage to 14.4 volts. When the charge current lowers, IC3 pin 7 goes low which
biases Q2 off, this puts R12 back into the feedback con trol which no w consists of R12, R13 and
R14; setting the voltage to 13.2 volts. When more than the maximum charge current flows
through R3, IC3 pin 1 shorts IC1 pin 2 to ground, that shuts IC1 o ff until its ne xt switching cycle.
When the current reaches a safe level IC3 pin 1 allows IC1 to remain on.
Main Board
5.2
Main Board
5.2.1
The 2721 or 2723 Main Board contains all the analog and digital circuitry that controls the
sensor, front panel display, and user interface. The isolated power supplies, microprocessor,
analog circuits, and memory are all contained on this board . The 2722 or 272 4 ver sion contains
the graphics display for model 515C, otherwise the circuitry is identical. Units with the newer
2723 (for Model 515B) or 2 724 (Model 515C) board can be identified with an “X” in the serial
number suffix.
Power On/Off Control Circuitry
When connected to the AC line (front panel AC icon illuminates green) the internal battery is
charging, this occurs whether or not the monitor itself is turned on. The monitor is powered on
by pressing the front panel power key, pressing this key while the monitor is on will shut it off.
The actual turning off is contro lled b y the pr ocessor, this enables the processor to control when
the power is removed to avoid corrupting RAM contents (e.g. turning power off while writing
to, or reading from RAM).
Power enters the main board through J404, see page 4 on schematic. When the monitor is
connected to the AC mains power, the LINEST voltage will be high indicating that AC line
power is available and charging the battery. The LINEST line will bias the green LED D16 on
through current limiter R28 (see page 2 on schematic). This LED illuminates the AC indicator
icon on the front panel. When the monitor is running off of its internal battery (no AC mains
power av ailab le), the V B ATTERY line will be supplying power for the monito r. This will cause
D17 to be reverse biased (LINEST low, VBATTERY @ battery voltage) and no voltage will
appear at LINEST, therefore D16 will be biased off.
When the front panel power key is pressed VBATT biases Q8 on through R31, R97, and D18.
When Q8 is on, VBATT biases Q10 on thro ugh R9 1 and R92, this in turn powers IC17, a pulse
width modulated switching power supply. The LEDPWR supply is generated by IC17, Q11,
D32, T1 and filtered by C59-C63 (C89 added on 2723/2724 board). The voltages used by the
main board are all derived from the LEDPWR supply.
When the monitor is on and the front panel power key is pressed (to turn the monitor of f), IC10
pin 12 will go low (se e page 1 on schema tic). This will drive the ou tput of IC8 pin 8
(PWRNMI*) low when the KEYS* line is brought low by the processor (IC1 pin 9). The
PWRNMI* line drives the NMI line of the processor , when this line is brought lo w the processor
will bring the PWROFF line high thr ough IC14 pin 12. When the PWROFF line is high, Q13
will turn on, this in turn sets the PFI input (pin 4) of IC4 low. This will set the PWROFF* line

Power Supplies and Voltage References
See page 4 on schematic. The 5 vol t supply VDD is re gulated b y IC18 , a lo w dropout re g ulator.
The -VA supply is generated by IC19 from the LEDPWR supply. This supply is synchronized
to front end timing signals by the SYNC line via C82, R127, R120, D35, and Q7. Without this
synchronization, ailiasing frequencies m ay interfere with sensor measureme nts. The +VA
supply is drawn from the LEDPWR line through filter coil L2.
The LEDSRC supply , used by the sensor LEDs, is regulated by IC20. Fuse F201 protects against
over current conditions. This supply is connected to the sensor‘s LED anodes when a sensor is
connected.
See page 3 on schematic. A -5 volt, and a 2.5 volt reference (VREF2.5) are needed for the 8 bit
D/A conv erter I C31 , the A/D co nverter IC26, and for the 20 bit A/D converters IC23 and IC24.
The 2.5 volt reference is generated by IC29 from the +VA supply. The output of IC29 pin 6
(VREF2.5) feeds the input of inverting amplifier IC30a. The output of IC30 a drives the base of
Q12 which creates a low impedance -5 v olt source -V5 at i ts emitter. The -5 volt source is used
by the eight channel multiplexor IC25, t he 20 bit A/D converters IC23, IC24, and the eight bit

Each LED (one red and one infrared) in the sensor is driven separately. Since the circuitry is
similar only one channel will be discussed, the corresponding co mponents for the other chan nel
will appear in brackets. See page 3 on schematic.
The VLED voltage is used b y b oth chan nel’s drive circuitry. When IC31 is enabled b y the WR*
and DA CCS* lines, the processor programs a voltage b y inserting a particu lar v alue on the data
lines D0-D7. This voltage appears at the output of IC30b pin 7 and is labelled as VLED.
When the REDLED* [IRLED*] line is low Q3 [Q4] will turn off, this allo ws the VLED volta ge,
divided by R48 [R46 ] and R47 [ R49 ], to dr ive the non-inverting inp ut of I C27 a [IC27b ]. Wh en
IC27a [IC27b] output is high, Q6 pins 3, 4, 5, 6 [1, 2, 7, 8] will turn on, this pulls current through
the sensor LED from the LEDSRC supply (fed to the sensor from J403 pin 1). When the
REDLED* [IRLED*] line is high, the input of IC27a [IC27b] is brought to ground potential
because Q3 [Q4] is biased on. This shuts Q6 off resulting in no current flow through the LED.

Sensor Photodiode Return Path
Light, from the sensor’s Red or Infrared LED, shines through the pulsating vas cular bed (the
patient’s finger, toe, etc.) placed between the LEDs and the photodiode. Some of this light
emerges from the tissue and impinges on the photodiode, causing the photodiode to conduct
current. See page 3 on schematic. IC21b pins 5-7 are set up as a differential amplifier that
converts this input current to a voltage at the amplifier output. The sensors are wired such that
photodiode current produces a positive v o ltag e at IC21b pin 7
The voltage at IC21b pin 7 is presented to an analog switch IC28b p in 6. This switch is
controlled at pin8 by INSIG*

The 20-bit ADCs are calibrated as part of the syst em self-test which occurs each time the

the falling edge of the CAL signal, the ADC will initiate a calibration cycle determined by the
state of the SC1.

The high at SC1 causes INSIG*

disconnecting the returning photodiode signal from the rest of the circuitry. The low SIGND*
signal closes the switch at IC28c pin9 and as a result, the input to the C28-R70 high pass filter
(and thus the entire ADC input circuitry) is broug ht to ground potential.
The CAL line (which went high at power up) is reset low and ADCs IC23 and IC24 begin their
calibration cycles. Because the analog input circuitry is grounded vi a SIGND*
offset voltages can be present at the (pin 9 AIN) inputs. The calibration cycle sets the ADC
“zero” point to equal this voltage, thus compensating for any circuitry offsets. The ADC then
sets its “full scale” point to equal the voltage at its VREF (pin 10) input. This completes the
calibration cycle.
The ADC can now start sampling its input and converting it to a 20-bit digital word. The
processor resets SC1 to a logic low, causing IC28c pin9 to open and IC28b pin8 to close. The
photodiode signal can now reach the ADCs. See Sensor Photodiode Return Path on page 13.

SDATA output automatically goes to a 3-state (high impedance) condition after completing a

The Serial Clock rate is significantly slower than the ADC sampling rate. As a result, the ADC

The Model 515B/C is controlled by IC1, an 8 bit microp rocessor running at 6.14 MHz (see p age

as A0-A17, system data lines are labelled D0-D7.
The system program is contained in IC3 a 27CC101 EPROM, when both RD* and ROMCS*
are low a read operation is perfor med on IC3. The ROMCS* line is controlled by the ME* line
(Memory Enable) and ad dress line A17 . When bo th the ME* line and add ress line A17 are low,
the ROMCS* line will go low (IC9 pin 6), this enables IC3.
System RAM is contained in IC2. When both the RD* and RAMCS* lines are brought low, a
read operation is performed on IC2. With both WR* and RAMCS* low, a write operation will
be performed. The RAMCS* line is controlled by the ME* line and address line A17. When
address line A17 is brought high, and the ME* line bro ught low, IC9 pin 3 will go low activ ating
the RAMCS* line. The ability of the RAMCS* line to reach the chip select of IC2 is controlled
by Q15, unless the VDD supply is established, neither a read nor write can be perf ormed on IC2
(system RAM).

When a front panel key is pressed the appropriate line is brought low.
When a key is pressed the corresponding input to IC5 is brought to a logic low, thi s is then
transferred to the appropriate output pin. When the RDKEY* line is brought low that s ignal is

2723/2724 contrast circuit
The contrast is controlled by digital potentiometer IC34, and amplifier IC35 (see page 4 on

The backlight for the display on the 2723/2724 boards is pulsed rather than dri ven continu ously
