1.4 Principle of operation

The Model 615 uses the CAPNOSTAT® CO2 sensor to measure CO2 by using the infrared absorbtion technique, which has endured and evolved in the clinical setting for over two decades and remains the most popular and versatile technique today.
The principle is based on the fact that CO specific wavelengths, with the amount of energy absorbed being directly related to the CO concentration. When an IR beam is passed through a gas sample containing CO2, the electronic signal from the photodetector (which measures the remaining light energy) can be obtained. This signal is then compared to the energy of the IR source and calibrated to accurately reflect C
concentration in the sample. To calibrate, the photodetector’s response

to a known concentration of CO channel accounts for optical changes in the sensor, allowing the system to remain in calibration without user intervention.

3.1 Digital Control System

Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 1.
Embedded control for the system is provided by IC1, a Motorola MC68332 integrated microcontroller. In addition to a full 32-bit Central Processing Unit (CPU), this device also contains circuitry for system clock generation, peripheral chip select generation, data control, interrupt generation, a sophisticated timing coprocessor, synchronous serial communication and asynchronous serial communication. In general, functional signals are grouped together into ports, and each signal can be independently programmed by software to be its predefined port function or as discrete I/O. Additionally, the functionality for several ports (Port C, E and F) can be predefined by the state of the data bus on system power-up. A special “background mode” port allows the device to be controlled by an external source for system debugging and testing. Also integrated on-chip are several activity monitors, as well as a software watchdog to ensure proper device and system operation. Refer to table 1.

The maximum operating frequency of the integrated processor is 20.97 MHz. The operating frequency is software selectable and generated by an internal VCO operating from Y1, a
32.768KHz watch crystal. The Timing Processor Unit (TPU) coprocessor of the MC68332 provides timing generation derived from the system clock. This feature is utilized to control the precise timing required for the acquisition of the end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO
) signals. The
2
TPU is also use to generate the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control for the CAPNOSTAT CO2 sensor case and detector heaters, as well as to provide the frequency generation for the audio tones. See Tables 2 & 3.

Ferrite and L-C filters, 100pF capacitors, and 100 ohm resistors have been placed on selected microprocessor signals with fast rise and fall times (including timing, clock, and address and data lines) in order to help reduce and suppress the radiation of electromagnetic interference and decouple unwanted power supply noise. In addition, good EMI/EMC design techniques have been incorporated in the component layout and printed circuit board layout and manufacture.
Table 4 lists the chip select, control and discrete I/O functions for the
Model 615
system module. On power-up, Ports E and F are programmed as discrete inputs by pulling down their controlling data lines, DB8 and DB9. After power-up, the software sets up each pin function individually and performs a series of self tests to check the integrity of the system. The state of configuration inputs on Port E (TST*, CNFG0*, CNFG1*, and CNFG2) are read. These inputs allow the software to identify different operating states such as Test Mode, or different hardware configurations. After the initialization period is complete and all system functions have been set,

Background Mode Debugging

External system debugging is possible by connecting an appropriate device (emulator or debugger) to header J401 and momentarily bring the BERR* (J401/2) low. This halts the bus activity and turns control of the system over to the external device. In this mode, internal MPU registers can be viewed and altered, special test features can be invoked and system memory can be read and written to.

System Memory

An 8-bit wide data path is used for FLASH PROM and SRAM transfers. Program code storage is contained in a 1-Meg 5V FLASH or EEPROM (IC2) device. The FLASH PROM is protected from unintentional overwrites of the program code by transistor Q1 and the ROMWREN signal.
Rev. 00 Model 615 Service Manua
11
Page 18
Section 3
Theory of Operation
The ROMWREN line must be high prior to writing new code into the FLASH devices. Nonvolatile data storage is contained in the 1-Meg SRAM (IC3). The SRAM is backed-up to retain it’s contents by applying a voltage on VBACKUP generated by BT1 (a 3.0V lithium battery) when power is off or the battery is removed from the monitor. During the battery backup state, transistor Q2 keeps the CS1* control of the SRAM in the inactive state. This forces the data bus to a high impedance state, isolating the SRAM from the rest of the system. True nonvolatile storage for the bootstrap parameters for the CAPNOSTAT
®
CO2 sensor are stored
in a serial EEPROM (IC2) located on the Interface (2753) board.

Serial Communications

Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 6.
The on-chip (IC1) asynchronous serial communications interface (SCI) channel is contained in the MC68332. The signals are level shifted to standard RS232 levels by IC26 which is a Dual RS232 Communications Driver/Receiver. The transmitters in the RS232 level shifter are under software control to minimize the patient leakage current to the rear panel connector (J101 when communication is not active. The signal COMMPWR controls the transmitters operation and is derived from IC9 pin 14 (schematic sheet 2). The serial connection to external, non­patient contact devices is electrically isolated from the patient through the CAPNOSTAT sensor airway adapter. This connector, J101 is located on the rear panel and is designed to interface with external devices (i.e. computer, printer) when placed in a base station which contains the mating connector. In addition there is a 4 pin connector (J403) available for test and service which offers an internal connection to the serial communications at a TTL level. The data signals ASRxD and ASTxD are logic level signals and are diode protected against over voltage by D22 and D23 should IC26 breakdown from ESD (schematic page 6). Refer to Table 5 for the pinout and signals of serial interface connector J101.

User Interface Control Circuitry

Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 2.
The user interface features a 64 row by 128 column Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) module with an LED backlight. A 5-switch membrane keypanel is provided for operator entry. The use interface also contains three LED’s which represent various system conditions.
Control of the user interface is provided by the LATCH1_CS* chip select signal together with the Port F input signals from the microprocessor. SW1-SW4 are inputs which read in the

present state of the membrane keys. Depressing a key causes the signal line to be pulled low in contrast to its normally high state. IC9 provides a latched output for controlling the status LED’s. The LCD backlight is a series of LED’s which are driven by a 5.12kHz clock signal in order to lower the LCD backlight power requirement and is activated by the backlight membrane key. The LITE_CLK signal is a 5.12kHz logic level signal generated by IC7 (sheet
7) which modulates the LED backlight through FET switch Q4 (BKLGHT_OUT) when asserted by IC10 (BACKLIGHT). This signal is capacitively coupled by C42 in order to prevent the backlight from remaining on in the event of a system failure.
Contrast control for the LCD is provided by DAC IC33 (sheet 6) and amplifier IC34A and transistor Q18 (schematic sheet 6). When the CPU detects a press and hold of the backlight membrane key, the CPU sends a digital ramp input to the DAC which causes the output to change accordingly. Inverting amplifier IC34A controls the base current into transistor Q18, which changes the level of the display contrast voltage, VDISP.
Refer to schematic sheet 6.
An audio frequency tone is generated by the TPU (Time Processor Unit) of the MC68332 (TONE). This signal is fed into the divider network consisting of R183 and IC32. IC32 is a 10k
2
ohm E for attenuating the signal under CPU control. From the divider output the signal is amplified by IC34B and Q17 which drives the system speaker (LS1) to produce system audio. The AUD_EN line from IC9 controls Q19, when high the input to IC34B is grounded thus muting the audio.

Real Time Clock, Power on RESET Generation and Glue Logic

Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheets 1 and 2.
Time-keeping for date and time stamping of patient trend information is provided by IC8. This device contains a built-in crystal for precise time and date measurement. In the absence of digital power, the time keeping function is maintained by the battery backed supply, VBACKUP which is generated by the 3V lithium backup battery (BT1).
On power-up, the system is forced into a “Reset” state by IC4 (sheet 1). When the suppl voltage VDD, approaches 1V, the SRST* line is asserted to prevent undefined operation. IC4 also provides supervision over the VDD logic supply. If the logic supply falls below 4.55V ±120mV then IC4 generates a reset condition until the supply returns to a safe level. Inverter IC5 is used to generate the active high RESET signal.
The

the glue logic required is a minimum. Chip selection for the serial peripherals is provided by decoding the queued serial module (QSM) (PCS0-PCS3) of the microprocessor IC1 (sheet 1 on schematic) using decoder IC12 (sheet 2) while parallel interface peripherals are selected by the internal chip select registers of Port C (BOOTCS* and CS0*:CS10*). Latch IC10 is used to control the saturation analog signal processing, the LCD backlight, the sidestream sampling pump, and to power the monitor off.

The SRCDRV0 signal goes high as soon as the CO2AZ (Auto Zero) line goes low and the CO2PWENB (Pulse Width Enable) line goes high. The duration of SRCDRV0 is 405 us (microseconds), and drives the source in the positive direction. The SRCDRV1 line drives the source with an opposite polarity signal when high for the same duration. There is a 30 us delay from the time the SRCDRV0 line goes low to when the SCRDRV1 line goes high. This delay is to prevent the possibility of both SRCDRV0 and SRCDRV1 being active at the same time, thus creating a low impedance path between the two supplies (power supply shoot-through). SRCDRV1 steers current through the source in an opposite direction from SRCDRV0.
When SRCDRV0 and CO2INH (Inhibit) are high, the output of MOSFET Driver IC13A pin 7 will go low. This turns the P-Channel half of MOSFET Q5 on. At the same time, the output of MOSFET Driver IC14B pin 6 will be high biasing on the N-Channel half of MOSFET Q6 on. With both Q5B P-Channel and Q6A N-Channel on, current will flow from +VSRC through Q5B to the positive source terminal, then back from the source negative terminal through Q6A, through R97 to -VSRC. When SRCDRV0 returns low, both Q5B and Q6A are turned off and no current flows through the source. After the 30 us delay, SRCDRV1 will go high. The output of IC14A pin 8 will go high, biasing the N-Channel section of MOSFET Q5 on. The output of IC13B pin 5 will go low, turning the P-Channel of Q6 on. Current will now flow from +VSRC through Q6B to the source negative terminal, back from the source positive terminal through Q5A and R97 to ­VSRC. Current will cease to flow when SRCDRV1 goes low. The bridge circuit of Q5 and Q6 in effect switches the polarity of the drive signal of the source between +VSRC and -VSRC. CO2PWENB also falls with the falling edge of SCRDRV1, signaling the end of source activity.
When current flows through the source, it will also flow through current sensing resistor R97, creating a differential voltage proportional to the source current:

The voltage signal out of difference amplifier IC15B is level shifted through C52 and fed to the sample and hold IC16A via buffer amplifier IC15A. A low level on the CS*/H (Current Sample and Hold) signal allows the source current signal to be sampled. On the rising edge of CS*/H, the present voltage level of the source current signal is held and appears at the input to channel A2 of the Analog to Digital Converter IC6 (sheet 2 on schematic) for processing by the MPU. When CO2AZ is high, the input to the sample and hold of IC16A is grounded to discharge any residual charge that may be on C52.
In order to prevent the source from being driven until the system is up and ready, there i protection circuitry that inhibits the source drive until enabled. During system power-up, the RESET line keeps Q7 on. This causes the CO2INH line to be brought low, preventing source pulses by pulling down SRCDRV0 and SCRDRV1 through D6. Protection circuitry also guards against extended pulse width as well as shortened duty cycle. On the rising edge of CO2PWENB, the trip point of IC17B is exceeded, allowing C55 to charge through R100. If the

Section 3
SRCDRV signals do not turn the Source Pulse off within 200 us after the 830 us pulse period, the trip point for IC17A will be exceeded, pulling the CO2INH line low turning the Pulse off. After the CO2PWENB signal returns low, capacitor C57 discharges through R101, keeping the output of comparator IC17B at the voltage acquired by C55. After approximately 10.4 ms, C57 will have discharged below the comparator trip point. The comparator output goes low, discharging C55 and the circuit is ready for the next source pulse cycle.
Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 4.
The temperature of the system directly affects its ability to accurately measure CO therefore must be precisely maintained at a controlled value. Two separate heaters and control circuitry are used; one regulates the temperature of the detectors for the CO reference channels; the other regulates the temperature of the transducer case (and loosely maintains the temperature of the airway adapter). While the purpose of the detector heater is to keep the detectors' sensitivity to infrared radiation constant, the function of the case heater is to keep condensation from forming on the airway windows by elevating the window temperature above the ambient airway temperature. Both heaters use an efficient pulse-width modulation scheme designed to decrease power consumption, with the PWM timing generated by the TPU under microprocessor control. This control loop is run by the CPU which does the calculations and passes the duty cycle to the TPU. For the purpose of describing the regulation loop, the case heater circuitry will be considered. The detector and case heater circuitry are identical.
Inside the CAPNOSTAT module. Initially, the CAPNOSTAT
®
CO2 sensor, a sensing thermistor is thermally connected to the heater
®
CO2 sensor is at the ambient temperature and the resistance of the thermistor is large. A small current flows through the signal path “CASETHERM” and only a small voltage is developed across R117. The microprocessor programs the TPU to allow a maximum duty cycle of 90% to power the PWM heater circuitry. This causes the heater control MOSFET Q9B to be pulsed on and off with a duty cycle that is under direct control of the program software. As the heater warms up the case, the thermistor's resistance decreases, raising the voltage appearing at the input of the control loop. As described below, the MPU looks at this voltage and decreases the duty cycle of the PWM control circuitry, gradually reducing the power output into the heater. When the desired temperature set point is reached, a balance is struck between the energy delivered to the system and the heat flow out of the system.
The case thermistor is sensed by amplifier IC18A pin 3. The difference between the signal at the non-inverting input and the reference appearing at the inverting terminal generates an error voltage proportional to the sensed temperature at the amplifier's output:

This error voltage is low pass filtered by amplifier IC20A, sent to the ADC (IC6) and processed by the CPU to regulate the output pulses from the TPU. The TPU PWM signal is buffered by MOSFET Driver IC19A and capacitively coupled to the gate of the heater drive MOSFET, Q9B. Capacitive coupling the signal prevents a system fault that would allow the PWM to be stuck at a level that would cause too high of a heater output. In the absence of a pulse, the gate drive

will be pulled high, disabling the output to the heater. The pulsed voltage signal out of the MOSFET is filtered by D12, L6, C68 and C69 to produce a DC output level for the heater. Since the TPU generated PWM signal is based on the system clock, it is synchronized with the generation of the source pulse timing. This minimizes the effect of any random disturbance caused by the heater circuit on the detection of the CO
data and reference signals.

The error voltage out of amplifier IC18A also appears at the temperature watchdog comparator IC17C. If the error voltage reaches a voltage equivalent to 56 degrees Celsius, the comparator trips, turning Q10 off. The gate of MOSFET Q9A is pulled high by R116, which turns it off and VHTR is prevented from reaching the source of transistor Q9B. The temperature of the sensor is also monitored by the MPU which will disable the heater when a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius is exceeded. To shut off the heater, the MPU asserts the CASEOT signal, turning Q11 on which turns Q10 and Q9A off.

CO2 Input Signal Path

Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 5.
The signals from the sensor “CO2DATAIN” (CO have similar signal paths. The CO2DATAIN passes through a high pass filter with a gain of 3.8 consisting of C80, R148 and buffer amplifier IC21B. The signal is fed to a Butterworth low pass filter IC21A and associated components. This filter has a gain of 2 with a corner frequency of
1.5 KHz. The output from the low pass filter is fed to a 12-bit digital to analog converter IC22. The signal, “CO2DIN” comes into the reference of the DAC, which acts as a programmable gain stage followed internally by an amplifier with a fixed gain of 2. Here under processor control the signal's gain is adjusted to an acceptable level for conversion. The gain setting is adjusted using the digitized signal out of the A/D Converter (IC6) as part of the feedback loop. Similarly, “CO2REFIN” is conditioned by high pass filter IC21D with a gain of 1.75 and low pass filter IC21C with a gain of 2. The equivalent fixed gains for the two input signals are not equal in order to compensate for differences in the output signal levels of the infra-red detectors in the sensor.
The output from IC22 is buffered by IC24A and AC coupled through C91 to IC23A. The “CO2DATAIN” signal received from the sensor is ac coupled prior to the initial gain stage and high pass filtered to remove any DC bias by C80. Prior to sampling CO (Auto Zero) pulse biases Q15 on, causing any residual charge on C91 to discharge to ground. At the start of the source pulse, the “CO2AZ” pulse goes low and the CO is attained, and appears at the input of the sample and hold amplifier, IC16B. Near the end of the source pulse, the “SS*/H” (Signal Sample and Hold) goes low and the peak signal is acquired on the internal sample and hold capacitor. “SS*/H” returns high at the end of the cycle, and the CO
signal on the sample capacitor is held at the peak value. The signal then passes

Section 3
IC28 is a piezoresistive differential pressure transducer with port P2 held as close to 0 psi (a perfect vacuum) as is possible. It measures the absolute pressure difference at port P1 relative to the vacuum at port P2. The transducer is calibrated for a full scale output of 0 to 15 psi, has internal temperature compensation and is designed to be driven by a constant voltage source. Instrumentation amplifier IC30 conditions this signal to correspond to the current barometric pressure, which is set by adjusting VR1. The nominal gain of this amplifier is 93.56, which corresponds to an ADC count of 3800 at 760 mmHg. The output signal from IC30 is low pass filtered by IC29A and appears as an input (ABPRESS) to the 12-bit ADC.
Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 2.
To enable the monitoring of non-intubated patients, a single tapered sampling port is provided on the sensor interface panel. Voltage regulator IC49 adjusts the pump motor speed to set the flow rate of air through the tubing system for 180ml/min. Resistor’s R275 and R277 set the voltage to approximately 2.5V. VR2 is a potentiometer in parallel with R277, which can be installed if more accuracy is required for a flow rate adjustment. Pump motor current is sensed by measuring the voltage developed across resistor R278 using amplifier IC50 that provides a gain of 63. This provides an output of 8mA per 1/2 Volt { ADC, or approximately 2.5 uA per bit resolution {Vref 31 Hz filter composed of IC29B provides high frequency attenuation.

3.3 Power Supply and Battery Charger

Supply and Reference Voltage Generation

Refer to 2754-03 schematic sheet 8.
The monitor operates from either an isolated external DC power supply or from the internal battery. There are two options presently for the internal battery, a Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack (NiMH), or a Disposable AA Lithium cell pack. The NiMH battery pack operates from a nominal voltage of 7.2V down to 6.0V while the AA Lithium pack operates from 10.5V down to
6.0V. This battery voltage range is monitored in hardware by the 12-bit ADC for level and comparator IC37A in order to shut the unit down at approx. 6.0V. The NiMH battery can be charged either externally via a separate charger or internally when the DC input is connected and a NiMH battery is installed. The internal battery charging circuitry is located on the 2753­01 assembly and is described in a later section of this document. The Lithium battery pack has a schottkey diode in series with the positive battery terminal to prevent accidental charging of the Lithium cells.
The core of the power supply design for the system is a 500 KHz switching regulator, IC36, that utilizes a flyback transformer configuration to generate the analog DC supply voltages. The primary of the transformer is designed to accept 6.0 to 13 V DC input and provides secondary outputs of nominally +13.75VDC, and -13.75VDC which are regulated by R204 and R210 off of the +VA supply. These supplies (±VA) feed all of the analog circuitry in the monitor. All supplies are L-C filtered to minimize noise in the analog front end. An additional switching regulato (IC41) generates the 5VDC supply (VDD) which feeds all the logic circuitry in addition to a filtered version (CVDD) which supplies the logic level requirements of the CO data converters e.t.c.). The 5V supply is L-C filtered to provide clean logic supplies for the analog sections of the CO clean, well regulated supplies (±CVA) for the CAPNOSTAT designed as a tracking regulator pair to provide a 24VDC differential voltage for powering the CAPNOSTAT

Stable reference voltages for the sensors and analog circuitry are derived from IC25, a precision 2.5V reference generator with low drift. Five (2CVREF) and 2.5 Volt (CVREF) references for the CO
circuits are generated by IC27, while a separate –5.0 Volt (-2CVREF)
2
supply is generated directly from IC31A for –VA and -VD on the 20 bit ADC’s for the saturation front end.
Refer to 2753-03 schematic
When the monitor is operated from the DC input power source the green AC ON indicator on the front panel is lit. If DC input power is lost or is not available, the monitor automaticall operates from its internal battery without interruption. The AC ON indicator is extinguished and a BATTERY LED on the front panel lights up, indicating the current voltage level of the battery. While on internal DC power, the current state of the battery is monitored by both software and hardware (IC37 2754-03 schematic sheet 8). Should the battery power level get critically low, the monitor software alerts the user. If the monitor is not placed on external DC input power within approximately five minutes, the software will shut the unit off. Should the software fail to turn the monitor off when the low battery alarm sounds, the hardware cutoff (IC37A) activates (+VBATT=6.0V), turning the unit off. The trend memory data stored in SRAM is retained by the presence of VBACKUP power which is generated by a 3 Volt on-board Lithium battery.

Battery Charger Circuitry

Refer to 2753-03 schematic sheet 1.
The internal NiMH battery (7.2V, 3Ahr) will charge when the monitor is connected to the external DC power supply (9220-10) or installed in the Base Station option (PN. 6998-00) with the external adapter connected to the Base Station.
Battery charging is controlled by IC1, a frequency modulated fast charge controller. IC1 monitors temperature, voltage, and time throughout the charging process to safely and effectively charge the internal battery. The charger is configured to terminate charging using the (delta temperature/delta time) method of charge termination. Charging is maintained at the C/ 4 (750mA) rate while current to the battery is controlled by Q1, Q2, Q3, and the “MOD” output of IC1. Q3 provides base drive for Q1 while Q2 serves to shut Q1 off very quickly on a cycle by cycle basis, allowing the large currents required for charging to pass through Q1 which is a surface mount SOT-23 package PNP transistor capable of 500mW’s of power dissipation.
Charge current is monitored at the SNS input (IC1/9) and is set by R13 (I 2*R
). Temperature is monitored using the battery’s internal thermistor, in conjunction with
SNS
R9, R10, and R12. R9, R10, and R12 set the deltaT/dt charge termination parameter to 1°C per minute. R7 and R8 set the maximum temperature for charge termination (a safety override) to 45°C.
Battery charging is initiated in one of two ways: either by applying 13.0 VDC to +VCHG, therefore providing VCC (BVDD) to IC1; or by inserting a rechargeable battery into the battery compartment. Resistors R2 and R4 form a divider which sets the battery voltage window. If a battery with a voltage below the lower threshold (V

or, 4.08V, +VBATT = 10.5V), charging will terminate. After fast charge is terminated, either by deltaT/dt or by time-out, the charger switches over to a maintenance charge of C/64 to keep the battery topped off. BVDD (VCC for IC1 and D4, the AC on indicator) is regulated by D10, a 5.1V zener diode, while R3 keeps D10 operating in the knee region and C5 and C6 provide filtering.
Over-current protection is provided by F1, a 1A slo-blo replaceable fuse. Reverse leakage protection is provided by D5 and D6 which prevent the battery from trying to power BVDD and +VCHG in the battery operation state.

Section 8
3. Attach an exhaust port line (1/8 inch or 3/16 inch I.D. tubing) from the Sampling Exhaust port to a suitable container located below the bottom level of the monitor.
4. Use a 60 cc catheter tip syringe. Fit it to the Sampling Inlet connector. Flush the sterilizing solution slowly through the pumping system. Push the entire 60 cc of solution through the Sampling Inlet . Repeat this process two more times to use a total of 180 cc of solution.
5. Remove the syringe and leave the cleaning/sterilizing fluid within the sampling pump system for 30 minutes to disinfect the system. Follow sterilant manufacturer’s instructions for disinfection.
6. After 30 minutes, fill the syringe with distilled water and flush the system three times. Allow the cleaning/disinfection solution and distilled water to drain through the Sampling Exhaust output.
7. Push several syringes of air slowly through the system to ensure that most of the liquid has been drained.
8. Follow this with at least three more syringes of distilled water, followed by at least two more syringes of air to make sure that most of the distilled water has been drained.
9. Remove the syringe from the unit. Do not connect the sampling inlet tubing. Connect the external power supply and turn the monitor on. Allow the sampling pump to operate for several minutes. This will help to remove any trapped water.
10. Connect a sampling tubing set to the Sampling Inlet .
11. Block the open end of the tubing with your finger. Alternate blocking and unblocking the tubing end at least ten times. Use a quick, brisk motion when blocking and unblocking the tubing. Keep the tubing blocked and unblocked for several seconds at a time.
12. Repeat the same blocking and unblocking action with your finger on the sampling exhaust port.
13. Allow the sampling system to run for at least 30 minutes without the sampling assembly tubing and the sampling exhaust tubing connected. This will speed dry the system pneumatics.
14. Once these cleaning and disinfection instructions have been completed, normal sampling system operation can be resumed.

8.4 Battery Maintenance

New batteries, or batteries stored for extended periods of time (3 months or more) may need to be fully charged and discharged up to five (5) times before performing at full capacity. New batteries or batteries that have not been used for 30 days, should be charged for 24 hours prior to use.

After hours facsimile and e­mail requests will be answered the next business day. It is suggested that any person calling in for technical support have the equipment available for product identification and preliminary troubleshooting.
Novametrix reserves the right to repair or replace any product found to be defective during the warranty period. Repair may be provided in the form of replacement exchange parts or accessories, on-site technical repair assistance or complete system exchanges. Repairs provided due to product abuse or misuse will be considered “non-warranty” and invoiced at the prevailing service rate. Replaced or exchanged materials are expected to be returned to Novametrix within 10 days in order to avoid (additional) charges. Return materials should be cleaned as necessary and sent directly to Novametrix using the return paperwork and shipping label(s) provided (Transferring return materials to a local sales or dealer representatives does not absolve you of your return responsibility.).
Novametrix manufactures equipment that is generally field serviceable. When repair parts are provided, the recipient can call Technical Support for parts replacement assistance and repair assurance.
