HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR PCB’S AND SOFTWARE
Chapter A - GENERAL & TECHNICAL DATA
5HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR PCB’S AND
SOFTWARE CHIPS
5.1Handling printed circuit boards
The circuit boards are well protected against static discharges when they are in the unit. However, some precautions are necessary when handling the boards since some internal nodes
can easily be damaged by static electricity.This is true especially during low humidity conditions when there is evidently a potential risk of static discharges.
Keeping these few simple rules in mind when handling PCBs or software chips can make a
big difference;
•Grounding wrist-straps are not necessarily required when handling the boards, as long as
you first always touch a grounded exposed metal part in the unit before touching the PCB.
•Place the removed PCB immediately in an antistatic plastic bag. This protects it from later
improper handling. Please note that PCB’s for warranty replacement must be returned to
the factory properly packaged in antistatic plastic bags.
•Never place a removed PCB on a conductive surface or handle it to another person, without touching the surface or person first.
5.2Handling software Flash-EPROM chips
To avoid static discharge problems the same rules that apply for PCB’s should be followed
when handling software Flash-EPROM chips.
Software Flash-EPROM chips must be stored in their specific anti-static plastic tubes, protecting them also mechanically.
Since the software chip used is a PLCC-type chip, it must be removed only with a proper
extracting tool (see the spare part manual for details). Using any other tool for removal can
seriously damage the socket on the MCB.
Please refer to 5.1 “How to replace/upgrade the software” on page G-20 for details how to
replace the software.

d)Release both keys (program key & bowl rinse key). The display briefly shows “SEr” when
service mode is entered.
The number of the latest used service mode will then be shown on the display. After 1 second
it will be replaced with the current setting or value of this service mode.
NOTEIf the unit is equipped with the Dürr amalgam separating system or Dürr VSA
system, holding the program key down for 4 seconds (without additionally
pressing any other keys) will automatically start the suction system flushing
function.
1.2How to exit service mode and store settings
Briefly press the program key.

1.3Navigating among the various service modes
The service modes are numbered with consecutive numbers. To move to the required service
mode, use the chair up and down keys (“C” or “D”) on the control panel. All the patient chair
control keys are now used for controlling the service mode and do not control the chair.
C
D
Press to move up in the listPress to move down in the list
The current service mode number (symbol “n” followed by the current service mode number)
is shown on the display when moving around in the list.
Due to the small display, there are not enough digits to show simultaneously the service
mode number and its contents. Therefore the service mode number disappears after 1 second, after which the current service mode setting or value is displayed.
Checking the current service mode number
When the service mode setting is shown on the display, pressing briefly either of the moving
keys (“C” or “D”) brings momentarily the number of the current service mode to the display.
The unit does not move to the next (or previous) service mode.
1.4Changing an adjustable setting in the service mode
Some of the service mode numbers display a decimal point after the symbol “n”. These
modes have settings that can be changed. To change a setting do as follows:
A
S
Press and hold until LED lights
to enter the SET mode
a)Move to the desired service mode as described in 1.3 “Navigating among the various service
modes”.
b)Enter the SET-mode by pressing and holding the “S”-key until the yellow indicator light turns
on (1 or 5 seconds, depending on the service mode).
c)Decrease the setting with the “A”-key, or increase it with the “B”-key.
d)Exit the SET-mode by briefly pressing the S-key (the indicator light turns off). The SET-mode
is exited automatically if you scroll to a different service mode using the “C” and “D” keys.
However, any changes made to the previous service mode are stored.
Decrease the setting
B
Increase the setting
S
Exit SET mode
NOTETo ensure that changes made in the service mode are stored, you must exit the
Technical Manual
service mode by using the program key. All altered settings, even if they have
an immediate effect, are lost if the power is turned off before pressing the pro-
gram key.
This behaviour can, however, be used as a “master undo”, if you for some rea-
son want to return to the previous settings. The factory presets (mode 16) are
stored immediately and cannot be un-done.

The software version is also briefly displayed whenever the unit is turned on. There is normally also a label on top of the software chip containing the same information.
The unit’s behaviour, features and functions depend completely on the installed software.
Always use the latest software available, especially if you notice that some features are missing described in any available documentation.
Some new instruments or retrofittable extensions might require a MCU software upgrades. In
this case the unit will display automatically respective help or error codes (HE9, HE14, E16,
E19.n, E32.n, E47.n, E52, E62).
The foot-control and the IMUX also both contain microprocessors. Their software is “embedded” inside their respective CPU’s and cannot therefore be replaced. Since the “main brain” is
the MCB and its microprocessor, there is rarely ever a need for this. However, you can check
their software versions by using service modes n19 and n60 (respectively).
n 2Show internal unregulated operating voltage (nn.n volt)
SERVICE MODE DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This voltage reflects mains voltage magnitude variations. The nominal value is +33VDC and
is allowed to vary ± 15% (28...38V) without affecting the normal operation of the unit.
If one of the MCB electronics fuses (F9 or F10) is blown, the display will only be half of normal
(Ý16.5VDC ± 15%). If the internal voltage is too low or too high, the unit will show respective
error codes (E9 or E10). If the internal voltage rises above 44VDC (a heavy mains surge, too
high mains voltage, wrong voltage jumper position or wrong transformer primary wiring), an
internal protection circuitry will blow fuses F9 and F10, protecting the unit electronics from failure.
n 3Show output current of IPS (n.nn ampere)
This is the output current of the instrument power supply (IPS) located on the MCB. This
microprocessor controlled power supply feeds power to micromotors, light-curing bulbs and
scaler units. This built-in ampere meter is intended for checking the current consumption of
the selected instrument. If the current is continuously zero it indicates an open-circuit somewhere between the MCB and the instrument. This mode is also good for checking the no-load
current of micromotors, that is a direct indication of the motor condition.
n 4Show output voltage of IPS (n.n volt)
This is the output voltage of the instrument power supply (IPS) located on the MCB. This
microprocessor controlled power supply feeds all micromotors, light-curing bulbs and scaler
units with appropriate voltages. The voltage on the display is measured directly at the IPS
output on the MCB, therefore the voltage shown is normally somewhat higher than the instrument receives. However, the voltage drop in the cabling is compensated for so that instruments always receive a proper voltage.

n 5Show scaler electronics ID-code (n id-code) and
connection point of the scaler electronics (--n-) or (---n)
The (optionally) installed scaler electronics module is identified by a jumper wire on its connector that plugs to the MCB. It is important for the MCB to know the type of scaler electronics
installed. This service mode allows you to check what type of scaler electronics is installed
and that the identification works properly. It is also possible to check if the scaler electronics is
installed on the MCB or at the IMUX.
The location of the scaler electronics is indicated on the display by pressing the S-key with
delay. If the display (--n-) is shown then the electronics is connected to IMUX or (---n) then the
electronics is connected to MCB.
n 6Show service door switch signal (n door status)
This is the signal from the microswitch that indicates the door status (1 = door open, 0 = door
closed). An open circuit, broken wire or loose connector is interpreted as the door would be
continuously open. During this condition the chair cannot be run, except for in the service
mode when the control system temporarily ignores this signal.
Chapter C - SERVICE MODE
n 7Show mains frequency (nn.n Hz)
There is no other use for this service mode than checking the condition of a part of the MCB
electronics. If everything is OK the display should be stable within ±2 digits. Severe mains
voltage transients can up-set the display temporarily, and would also cause the OP-light to
flicker. If this display is stable but the OP-light flickers occasionally, it’s probably caused by a
bad bulb socket.
n 8Show (optional) assistant syringe hose ID (n id-code)
If no hose is connected (or if the assistant syringe option is not installed) the display should
show a dash “-”. If any other instrument than a syringe is connected then the display should
show 0 (zero). If a valid syringe (hose) is connected then the display shows the syringe hose
ID-code (e.g. 20).
n 9Show (optional) assistant syringe hose sense signal (nnn
signal)
Same as above but this is the direct signal from the assistant syringe hose identification circuitry. The display range is 0-255. 255 indicated an open circuit, 0 indicated a short, any other
values represent the signal. The display should be fully stable within one digit.
n 10Show MCB heatsink temperature (nn °Celsius or
°Fahrenheit)
Technical Manual
The temperature is measured inside the black aluminum block on the MCB. During normal
circumstances the temperature should stay below 55°C. The temperature can rise above this
level if the fixing screws (that attach the heatsink to the aluminum box) are missing. To protect
against overheating the CPU turns off those loads that contribute to the power dissipation
(OP-light and IPS) if the temperature rises above 60°C, The error E15 is then also displayed.

n.11Enable (optional) water heater (n mode = 0, 1)
The purpose of this mode is to guarantee that the (optional) water heater is not powered up
without water. When the unit is shipped from the factory the mode is set to 0 (heater off). During the installation (but after the water and drain is connected) this mode should be set to 1 (if
there is a water heater attached). When the mode is set to 1, water will be flown from the
glass fill for 10 seconds.
n.12Set main air valve operation (n mode = 0, A, 1)
The main (incoming) air valve is controlled by the CPU. The operation is automatic, in other
words, the valve opens only when necessary. This behaviour can be temporarily bypassed in
this service mode. Set the mode to 0 (zero) to keep the valve continuously closed, set to “A”
to go back to automatic or set to 1 to force the valve to open. Please note that even if this
mode is programmed to 0 or 1, it always automatically defaults to “A” after turning off the
power to the unit.
n.13Set main water valve operation (n mode = 0, A, 1)
The main (incoming) water valve is controlled by the CPU. The operation is automatic, in
other words, the valve opens only when necessary. This behaviour can be temporarily
bypassed in this service mode. Set the mode to 0 (zero) to keep the valve continuously
closed, set to “A” to go back to automatic or set to 1 to force the valve to open. Please note
that even if this mode is programmed to 0 or 1, it always automatically defaults to “A” after
turning off the power to the unit.
This service mode can be used to disable automatic cuspidor flush and cup fill functions when
using the chair S-position. 0 = no automatic functions, 1 = cuspidor flush only, 2 = cup fill only,
3 = both.The factory default is 3 (all functions).
n.15Disable error messages (n mode = 0, 1, 2)
This service mode can be used to disable the error message display system. The only use for
this mode is during exhibitions or in showrooms where a full installation is not possible (no
water and/or water pressure), and because of this error messages would be continuously displayed. Set the mode to 0 to disable the error messages, or to 1 to enable the error messages
(factory default), or to 2 to disable the error messages related to the console arm. The unit
shows shortly HE12 when turning the power on (remainder of that the error messages are
disabled).

n.16Enable factory preset mode (- or S U)
This service mode is used to set the unit to a predefined state only using few keystrokes. This
feature is mainly used at the factory, that is why it is called a “factory preset”. All user programmable settings and parameters, as well as the most important service mode settings can
be set to a “normal” state. Then the unit can be immediately operated without having first to
do any adjustments or programming. This is useful also on the field if a showroom unit is
installed later for clinical use.

This service mode is convenient for checking the proper operation of the doriot arm sensors
(on the IMUX PCB). The 5 rightmost segments represent the 5 instrument positions, from
right to left respectively. A short vertical bar indicated that the instrument is in the holder, a
long vertical bar that it is taken out from the holder. The leftmost vertical bar shows the signal
at the AUX input terminal on the IMUX PCB (6th instrument place).
n 21Show active instrument hose ID-code (---- or nn ID-code)
This mode is convenient for checking the instrument hose ID-code and the related electronics
on the IMUX PCB. The code range is 1 to 26.
The display shows four dashes (----) if no instrument is selected. Activate a properly attached
instrument hose (in this same location) to display the ID-code. The code displayed should be
the same as indicated by the last digit(s) on the label on the quick connector.
n 22Show active instrument hose identification signal (nnn

n 26Show console syringe switch signal (nnn signal)
This service mode shows the (optional) switch signal from the syringe. At this moment no
syringes use this signal, therefore 255 is always shown.
n 27Show IMUX on/off valve signals (¦¦¦¦¦¦ signal)
This service mode shows the actual driver output signals controlling the on/off type electromagnetic valves inside the IMUX. The five first vertical segments (counting from right) represent the four instrument and one syringe select valves, respectively.
The sixth (leftmost) vertical bar shows the (optional) steripump control valve / extra water
valve signal.
A short vertical bar indicates that the valve is off and that the valve is connected properly (not
open circuited). A long vertical bar indicates that either the valve is on or that the valve is
open circuited.

This service mode shows the signal from the spray/chip air line pressure sensor. The display
is either in bar, kPa or PSI, depending of the setting in the service mode n.17. The pressure is
measured inside the IMUX just after the proportional valve controlling this line. Therefore the
pressure measured (under normal flow conditions) is always higher than this same pressure
measured at the instrument end of the hose.

n 34Show active instrument spray water pressure
(n.nn bar; nnn kPa; nn.n PSI pressure)
This service mode shows the signal from the spray water line pressure sensor. The display is
either in bar, kPa or PSI, depending of the setting in the service mode n.17. The pressure is
measured inside the IMUX just after the proportional valve controlling this line. Therefore the
pressure measured (under normal flow conditions) is always higher than this same pressure
measured at the instrument end of the hose. Because of the construction of the water channel
the pressure drops very slowly towards 0 (zero).
This service mode selects the mode of operation of the IMUX instrument select membrane
control valves. The unit software must be upgraded if mode 1 is not available and needs to be
used. This feature was added to the software version 1.23 (and later).
Mode 1 is recommended to be selected in new units, since in this mode all instrument select
membranes in the IMUX will stay normally closed (pressurized). The benefit is that there is no
risk of water leakage or occasional water drops from the instruments. In this mode the integral
spray water back pressure valves are only needed when the unit is powered off. This continuous activation of the (4) valves causes some additional heat dissipation in the IMUX (about
8W). Early IMUX assemblies have not been tested with this higher power dissipation and
could give problems (due to some tight tolerances) with sticking doriot arm pins. Assuming
that the pins are replaced with thinner ones, then the mode 1 can be used in all IMUXes.
Mode 0 is recommended to be selected in older units with IMUX assemblies manufactured
earlier than Jan. -96. In this mode all instrument select membranes stays whenever possible
open (not pressurized). Then prevention of water dropping from instruments (when idle) is
fully dependent of the operation of the integral back pressure valves.

SERVICE MODE DETAILED DESCRIPTION
n 64Show left side sensor signal (unprocessed) (nnnn signal)
This service mode shows the direct signal of pedal position (left side sensor). When the pedal
is in the middle (rest) position the number should be in the range 3000 to 7000. The sensor
plate under the foot control PCB is too far from the PCB if the number is smaller than 3000.
During this condition it could be impossible to properly calibrate the foot control. The proper
distance between the plate and the bottom surface of the PCB is 0.5 mm (± 0.1 mm). Under
no circumstances should the plate be allowed to come in contact with the PCB.
n 65Show right side sensor signal (unprocessed) (nnnn signal)
This service mode shows the direct signal of pedal position (right side sensor). See explanation above for details.
This service mode can be used to select the foot control pedal instrument control mode.
Mode 0 is normal pedal operation (default). The instruments are controlled with horizontal
movement of the pedal.
In mode 1 the instruments are controlled with vertical movement of the pedal. Instrument
spray is switched on and off by moving the pedal to the left. The manual chip blow is activated
by moving the pedal to the right. Other functions work normally. Note that this feature is
recommended to be used only with a new type foot control pedal (from foot control serial
number 813542).
In mode 2 the instruments are controlled with horizontal movement of the pedal, and the
reversing of the micromotor rotation is done with foot control as follows. To operate the
micromotor normally (in a clockwise direction) push the pedal to the left. To reverse the
direction of rotation push the pedal to the right. Note, that the reverse rotation of micromotor
key does not function in this mode.

HELP & ERROR MESSAGES
1HELP MESSAGES
1.1General about help messages
The help messages are intended to assist the user in special situations. A help message
usually indicates a user error rather than a system error or malfunction. The help messages
mainly cover the following areas:
•violations against built in security functions
•warnings about amalgam collectors that needs to be emptied
•controls or keys with no response in certain situations
•erroneously attached instruments
•notifying the user of abnormal conditions that cannot be categorized as errors.
The help messages appear on the display as capital letters “HE” followed by a number. The
message stays on the display only as long as the reason for it continues. The unit is otherwise
fully functional, except for the reported problem. Only one help message is shown at a time.
After the unit has been updated with the latest version of the MCB software it may report a
help message that is not listed in this manual. In this case, please request a new revision of
the manual. The following table is a list of currently available help messages and their
reasons.

Chapter D - HELP & ERROR MESSAGES
2ERROR MESSAGES
2.1General about error messages
The error messages are intended to assist the technician in situations where the control system detects a condition that could be a possible fault. An error message usually indicates a
system error or malfunction rather than a user error. The error messages cover the following
areas:
•insufficient pressures to control the instruments or other pneumatic problems
•failed (open or short circuited) cables and/or valves
•printed circuit boards not functioning properly
•failed bulbs and/or fuses
•power supply failures or problems
•non-compatible printed circuit boards or software versions
•sensor and switch failures
•other miscellaneous errors.
ERROR MESSAGES
The error messages appear on the display as a capital letter “E” followed by a number (“n.n”).
The number (left side of decimal point or if no decimal at all) indicates the type of error. Some
error messages also have a decimal part (number on the right side of decimal point). This
decimal part determines in more detail the reason for the error.
The error message stays on the display only as long as the error exists. In the case of several
simultaneous errors, the display shows them one at a time, in ascending number order. The
unit is otherwise fully functional, except for the reported error(s). Error messages are not
stored internally for later retrieval.
After the unit has been updated with the latest version of the MCB software it may report an
error message that is not listed in this manual. In this case, please request a new revision of
the manual. The table on the following pages is a list of currently available error messages
and their meanings. For a detailed description of the error messages please refer to the indicated pages.
2.2Disabling/enabling error messages
The error reporting system can be disabled (service mode 15). This is useful in exhibitions or
showrooms when a complete installation cannot be made (missing vacuum, water or air supply). In these cases the errors should be disabled so that the unit does not unnecessarily
show error messages on the display.
The unit briefly flashes an “HE 12” message on the display at power-on, to remind that the
error message system is disabled. Please refer to service mode “n.15 Disable error messages (n mode = 0, 1, 2)” on page C-20 for details how to enable/disable the error message
system.

3.1General error messages
E 1.nn Output short circuit on MCB
All valve and extra outputs on the MCB are short-circuit protected. Additionally, the MCB CPU
system is able to read the signal levels on the output pins. Therefore the following detailed
information can be presented about the possible short circuit.
E 1.01Main water valve short circuit
E 1.02Main air valve short circuit
E 1.03Bowl rinse valve short circuit
E 1.04Cup filling valve short circuit
E 1.05Water flush valve short circuit
E 1.06Separator pulse valve short circuit (only with Microvac’s)
E 1.07Ejector valve short circuit (only if defined as an option)
E 1.08Extra out 1 short circuit (High volume membrane valve, reserved)
E 1.09Extra out 2 short circuit (Saliva suction membrane valve, reserved)
E 1.10Extra out 3 short circuit (Reserved)
E 1.11Separator start signal/Microvac’s start valve short circuit
E 1.12Assistant syringe water valve short circuit
E 1.13Separator alarm reset signal short circuit
E 1.14PLANET output (ELMP) short circuit
These errors can only be detected when the circuit is active.
Disconnect the valve or output indicated and check if the error disappears. Otherwise the
problem must be in the cable, or as the last possibility, on the MCB. If the error does not disappear even if the valve cable at connector P16 on the MCB is disconnected, then the MCB
must be replaced. Advanced
: Replace both IC37 and IC36 on the MCB.
E 2.nn Main Control PCB output open circuit warning
The following list indicates which output is causing the trouble;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ERROR MESSAGES
E 3.nGeneral pressure problem
E 3.1Incoming air pressure compared to the water pressure is too low
The internal air pressure (after the internal pre-regulator) must always be 100kPa higher than
the internal water pressure (after the internal pre-regulator). Otherwise the membranes in the
IMUX doesn’t close properly. Normally this never causes a problem, except for the cases
when the system compressor is accidentally turned off during the use of the unit. Check that
the incoming pressure is according to specifications. Also measure (and readjust if necessary) the internal pressures of the unit. Use either an external manometer attached to the
syringe, or use the internal service mode system for the check. Check also the condition of
the water and air filters. Look for any kinks in the air tube going to the IMUX.
E 3.2reserved
E 3.3reserved
E 3.4Internal air pressure (after pressure regulator) is too low
E 3.5Internal air pressure (after pressure regulator) is too high
Check the condition of the input pressures to the unit. Is an external valve or compressor
accidentally closed? Check the water and air filter. Check (and readjust if needed) the internal
pressures.
E 4.n Short circuit in the cable from the MCB to the control panel/
suction holder in branch n
Chapter D - HELP & ERROR MESSAGES
E 4.1Short circuit in the cable from the MCB to the control panel/suction holder
in branch 1
E 4.2Short circuit in the cable from the MCB to the control panel/suction holder
in branch 2
The problem must be in the cable, or as the last possibility on the control panel PCB or suction holder PCB or MCB. Localize the short circuit in the cable, and repair the cable or replace
it. If the error does not disappear, then the control panel PCB or suction holder PCB or MCB
must be replaced.

3.2Power Supply related error messages
E 7IPS voltage failure on MCB (IPS = Instrument Power Supply)
The IPS output voltage is too high. Disconnect the P3 (cable to the IMUX) on the MCB. If the
error is still there, then the MCB IPS power supply is faulty. Advanced
Q6, Q9 and Q7 on the MCB.
If the MCB is OK; check the condition of the IMUX (8-wire) cable by disconnecting it both at
the IMUX and MCB. Measure all wires for shorts between each others as well as the chassis.
Replace the cable or the IMUX.

E 9Internal operating voltage too low
Check first the mains voltage at the input terminals (P25) on the MCB. If the error only occurs
when running the patient chair then check that the mains impedance is not too high so that
the incoming mains voltage does not drop under the minimum allowed. The following voltage
variations are allowed to guarantee normal operation;
•230 volt setting (Europe)mains can be from 187VAC to 265VAC
•115 volt setting (USA)mains can be from 98VAC to 132VAC
•100 volt setting (Japan)mains can be from 80VAC to 110VAC
If the incoming mains voltage is at any instance outside the indicated range then an external
voltage stabilizer must be considered. Check that both fuses F9 and F10 on the MCB are OK.
If the error still appears, especially in the lower range of the mains voltage, then the MCB
must be replaced. Advanced

E 10Internal operating voltage too high
Check first the mains voltage at the input terminals (P25) on the MCB. Do the same checks
as above. Make sure that the voltage selector jumper is set properly.
E 11.n Secondary fuse blown on MCB
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ERROR MESSAGES
: Check the condition of D9, D11, D14, D15, and components
The conditions of the secondary fuses are indicated also by green LEDs at each fuse holder
position. Please look at the inner side of the PCB edge. If a green LED is dark, then the
respective fuse at that position is blown. The following list gives more details about the blown
fuse. Please remember to replace the fuse with the same type and rating indicated, to guarantee safety of the equipment;
E 11.1 OP-light fuse (F5) and/or Water heater fuse (F7) is blown on the MCB
E 11.2Separator fuse (F6) and/or the Syringe heater fuse (F8) is blown on the MCB
E 11.3Either of the +24V electronics fuses (F9 or F10) is blown on the MCB
Always turn off the power during fuse replacement. If a fuse blows immediately again, try to
disconnect the respective load (OP-light, Water heater, Separator or Syringe) to check
whether the load itself is causing the problem.
E 12reserved
E 13Mains frequency outside acceptable range
The mains frequency is measured by the MCB and is needed to synchronize both patient
chair AC motors and the OP-light operation. If the mains frequency is OK and the error still
repeats (with possible OP-light flickering) then the MCB must be replaced. Advanced
R167, C82, R159, IC8-5 and IC8-6.
E 14IPS temperature measurement sensor error
: Check
The voltage from the temperature sensor is outside the normal operating range. Check visually the board around the heatsink for any damage. Replace the MCB.
E 15IPS heatsink is running too hot on MCB
All power semiconductors on the MCB are attached to the same heatsink. For proper cooling,
this heatsink must be attached properly to the left side to the electronics control box. Check
that the two screws are in place and tight. When the heatsink temperature reaches the maximum allowed (Ý60 °C) this error is generated. The CPU on the MCB first turns off the OP-light
and secondly the output power to the dental instruments, if the temperature still rises a few
degrees. This safety feature makes it impossible to overheat the MCB heatsink.

3.4Instrument related error messages
E 23Polymerization light bulb is blown or not properly attached
to the socket
The MCB monitors the current flowing from the IPS to the curing light bulb. If the current is
abnormally small then this error is generated. Check the bulb and the condition of the bulb
socket. Some lights (LYSTA) have in series with the bulb connected a temperature fuse, that
might have triggered (overheating). Check also the condition of the quick-connector pins. If it
still does not come on, check that the micromotor or the scaler operates to make sure that the
cables in the arm between the MCB and IMUX are OK.

E28.5Syrine signal changes during use (blinking)
E 29Voltage error in the fibre-light power supply in the IMUX
The fibre-light voltage regulator is not able to regulate the voltage to the fibre-light bulbs. During this error the instruments containing a fibre-light (turbines, micromotors and syringes) are
not activated, to save the bulb from destruction. If this problem only occurs with one instrument then try first to replace the hose for this before replacing the whole IMUX.
E 30, 31 reserved
E 32.n Error in serial communication between MCB and IMUX
The communication between the MCB and IMUX is serial to reduce the number of wires to a
minimum between these two. The MCB generates this error if there is any reason why it cannot communicate with the IMUX. Here are the reasons and remedies;
E 32.1IMUX is not responding. IMUX cable disconnected or failure in cable or IMUX.
Check the two LEDs on the IMUX. If both are dark, check the cable at both ends. Disconnect
the cable from both ends and measure all wires for shorts or opens. The green LED indicates
(on IMUX) that the IMUX gets power from MCB. The yellow LED (when blinking) shows that
the IMUX CPU is running and communicating with the MCB. Try with an external cable outside the arm, or try to connect temporarily another IMUX externally to check what is causing
the problem.
E 32.2IMUX software is not compatible (IMUX is of new type), with the MCB software.
A new IMUX has just recently been installed that has some new features that the MCB soft-
ware cannot use. Please upgrade the MCB software. After the upgrade the MCB is still compatible with older versions of the IMUX as well.
E 32.3IMUX data error (cable short circuit) (data low all the time)
Check the pin 6 in P3 on the MCB that it is not shorted to the chassis. Try with another IMUX.
This line is short circuit proof and cannot be harmed even if shorted to ground.
E 32.4IMUX communication error (checksum or parity) (1 sec timeout)
The communication between the MCB and IMUX seems to work most of the time, but there
can be an intermittent contact problem in the IMUX cable. Check the connectors and the pins.
E 32.5Wrong IMUX type or wrong unit type, see service mode 100 and 103.

Disconnect the connector of the indicated bad valve (load) from the IMUX. Measure with an
ohmmeter that the valve coil resistance is in the range 50-300Ω. Check the crimping on the
connector pins for a bad contact.
E 35.n IMUX pressure sensor offset error (too low output)
Check that the indicated pressure sensor pins are properly inserted in the mating sockets on
the PSB. Since the pins are fragile, check also that they are not bent or broken. Check the
condition of the ribbon cable between the IMUX and PSB. Check that it is not pinched
between the IMUX and the console aluminium bottom. Check with another “known to be
good” PSB with sensors attached. Replace the IMUX if the error still is there. Check that the
orientation (only if you have disassembled the sensor block) of the sensor s is OK. The sensor amplifier outputs can easily be measured at the respective test points on the IMUX.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ERROR MESSAGES
The proportional valve gets full power but still the measured pressure does not reach the

that the pressure cannot reach the level required even if the control valve is fully open. Check
for air tube kinks inside the unit and console arm. Check the condition of the incoming air
pressure regulator and also the air filter. Check that the incoming air pressure is within recommendations. The control valve in the IMUX could also cause this problem. Replace the valve

3.8Operating light related error messages
E 56OP-light erroneously connected or short circuit in pushbutton
This error can occur only during selftest at power up. If the momentary push button is shorted
during the test then this error is generated. The button could be damaged, or the reason can
be a wrong connection so that the bulb and button are cross-connected. The electronics
refuses to turn on the output power to the operating light, until the short has been removed (or
the connection has been corrected). This feature protects the OP-light push button from
destruction. Obviously the button should not be pressed simultaneously when powering on
the unit, to avoid a false error.
E 57reserved
E 58 Operating light bulb burned out
This error occurs when the operating light bulb has burned out. Replace the bulb.
3.9Separator system related
E 59.n The separator is reporting an functional error
The separator is signalling the error output (either Metasys (59.1) or Dürr (59.2)). Please
check the separator documentation.
E 60The separator is not responding or the separator cable is
faulty
The stand-by signal is missing from the separator (valid only for Dürr or Metasys). Either the
separator is faulty, or the cable between the MCB and separator is faulty. Check that the separator is reaching a power supply voltage. Check that the separator cable is plugged in to the
MCB properly.
E 61Separator is flooded with too much water
This error can occur only if the unit is equipped with a Microvac separator. The error is generated if the water level inside the Microvac rises too high. The reason can be a too fast water
flow to the separator compared with the handling capacity of the drain. Check the drain, clean
the bottom cup under the Microvac. If necessary, replace the Microvac separator.
E 62The separator is unknown

3.10 Patient Chair related
E 64Seat position potentiometer or its cable is faulty or
disconnected
This error occurs if the output signal from the position potentiometer wiper is close to 0V. This
indicates that the cable is disconnected or the wiper or the hot end of the pot is open-circuited
(cable or pot fault).
E 65Lift motor does not run or no signal from the position
sensing potentiometer
There can be several reasons for this error, but they can easily be divided into 3 categories to
be more easily understood;
a)If the motor runs and the chair’s lift mechanism moves:
The error must be in the pot, its cable or on the MCB. Check visually the condition of the pot.
If the pot’s axle is rotating together with the worm screw then check the cable from the pot all
the way to the MCB. Turn off the power and use and ohmmeter to do the checking. If the pot
and its cable seems to be ok you can additionally check the reading from the pot with the help
of the service mode 76 that shows the pot signal on the unit display. Connect an external pot
directly to the MCB and use the service mode to check that the MCB is OK.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ERROR MESSAGES
b)The motor does not run but there is a faint humming sound from the motor.
Check that the movement has not reached either of the mechanical limits. Is the seat overloaded (>150 kg load)? Is there any other mechanical obstruction? Check that the motor
capacitor is properly connected and that the capacitor is OK. Check that the motor cable is
OK (you should be able to measure the resistance of both windings at the connector that connects to the MCB).
c)The motor is completely dead.
Is the motor very hot? It is possible to overheat the motor if you run it continuously for more
than about 2 minutes, or if the motor runs more that 13% of the time. When the motor heats
up the built in over-temperature switch disconnects the common wire, resulting in a temporarily dead motor. When the motor cools down (this can take 10...20 min.) it returns back to normal operation. Check also the connector and cables to the motor if it is not overheated but still
dead.
E 66Lift motor or its position pot cable has a wrong connection
This error can occur only if you install a new motor or pot and either of these have a cable
with crossed conductors. In other words, the pot signal (or motor running direction) is opposite to what it should be. Check that the cable(s) are according to the drawings.
This error could occur also if the motor direction relay on the MCB has failed. Check that the
direction re-lay is toggling when trying to alternatively drive the mechanism in both directions.
E 67Backrest position potentiometer or its cable is faulty or
disconnected
Please refer to the explanation for the lift motor (ER64), since both motor drives are equal.
E 68Backrest motor does not run or no signal from the position
