Precautions for Operation with other Devices
Use only accessories and other parts recommended or supplied by SCHILLER AG. Use
of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury, inaccurate information
and/or damage to the unit.
Externally connected units must use the same common earth.
Externally connected units must use an original SCHILLER interface cable.
If several units are coupled, there is a danger of summation of leakage currents. When
two or more units are coupled together, an isolation transformer must be used in the
mains supply.
The AT-102 complies with EMC regulations for medical products which affords protection
against emissions and electrical interference. However, special care must be exercised
when the unit is used with high frequency equipment.
There is no danger when using the ECG unit simultaneously with electrical stimulation
equipment. However, the stimulation units should only be used at a sufficient distance
from the electrodes. In case of doubt, the patient should be disconnected from the
recorder.

Safety Notices
To avoid possible interference from the Ergometer when carrying out an exercise test, it
is recommended that both the AT-102 and the Ergometer are connected to the same

What's in this book
The service philosophy for the AT-102 is fault finding to module level. The purpose of this book is to
provide all the information necessary to enable the service engineer to efficiently locate and
replace a faulty module. This book assumes no detailed knowledge of the AT-102 but does require
that the service engineer is familiar with standard workshop practices, and to have attended an AT-
102 service course. The book is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 1 - Operating Elements
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an easy reference for all the main operator functions and
to give a basic introduction to the AT-102 . This chapter gives details of the operator controls with
the operation and function of each key briefly explained. The information in this chapter provides a
background to the operating functions only. Complete operating information is provided in the
SCHILLER AT-102 User Guide.
Chapter 2 - Functional Overview
This chapter provides a functional overview of the AT-102 . The description is supported by
functional block diagrams.
Chapter 3 - Fault Diagnosis
This chapter provides a guide to locate a fault to module level. The diagnostics are presented in a
logical sequence of fault finding algorithms and procedures. Illustrations are provided to support
the text where needed.
Chapter 4 - Module Removal and Replacement
This chapter gives an overview of the physical construction of the AT-102 with the main physical
attributes of the unit briefly described. The physical description is supported by illustrations
showing the internal location of all modules. Removal and replacement instructions for all
removable modules are also provided in this chapter. Each procedure is autonomous with details
of tools, jumper settings, adjustments and settings or special requirements that are required
before and after replacement. Functional checks that must be carried out after replacing a module
are also provided.

Introduction
The SCHILLER AT-102 is a 12-channel ECG unit designed to record, display, and analyse
resting ECGs (exercise ECGs can also be recorded). The unit has been extensively
researched to give an ergonomic, clear interface that`s easy to use without compromising
functionality. The AT-102 has the following features:
Features
Alphanumeric keypad and dedicated soft key interface for easy, user friendly
operation.
Storage and transmission facilities for recordings.
Excercise ECG with interface for control of digital ergometers and treadmills. (Option)
Integral full size thermal quality printer with various user defined print format options.
External laser or deskjet printer (Option).
ECG Interpretation including measurements and average cycles with automatic and
manual printout of the recording. (Option)
Spirometry (Option)

ECG Recording Screenscreen a continuous printout can be initiated and/or an
auto recording can be made. In auto mode 10 seconds of
ECG data is analysed and averaged and the results given
on a printout. The format and data of an auto mode printout
is independent of the screen display.
An auto mode recording can also be stored in the memory

Initiating Functions or Tasks
Most functions and tasks are initiated by the 5
softkeys situated immediately below the LCD.
The function of the softkeys varies according to
the screen displayed and is displayed on the
LCD immediately above the key itself.
During data acquisition, further dedicated
function keys are provided to make an auto
mode recording (START) and to stop a manual
printout (STOP). The top line of the
alphanumeric keypad, additionally enables
direct settings of lead group, trace speed and
sensitivity, filter on/off and other functions, for
both the real-time display and (manual)

Introduction
Power Supply
The mains connection is on the rear of the unit.
The power supply voltage is set by the factory for 100-115V (nom. 110V) or 220-240V
(nom. 230V) working. The setting is indicated by the indented metal strip on the
fuse panel. Contact your dealer if the voltage needs to be changed.
Switching On and Off
The AT-102 is switched on with the
green ON key and off with the red OFF
key. These keys are situated on the
top right of the keypad.
The mains indicator lamp on the
keypad is always lit when the unit is
connected to the mains supply.
The unit can either be operated from
the mains supply or from the built-in
rechargeable battery. The power
source is indicated on the top line of
the LCD. When mains is connected a mains symbol is displayed. When the unit is running
on battery power a battery symbol is displayed
Power Indicator symbol
The internal battery provides power for up to 3
hours. The Battery indicator blinks when the
battery capacity is limited.
To recharge the battery, connect the
apparatus to the mains supply by means of
the supplied power cable. A totally discharged
battery requires less than 15 hours to be fully
recharged (60% in less than 3 hours, 90% in
less than 7 hours). The unit can remain
connected to the mains supply without
damage to either the battery or the unit.
1.6
NOTE
When working from battery power, the unit is automatically switched off after
5 minutes (30 seconds if battery capacity is limited) if no key is pressed.

Introduction
Changing a Mains Fuse
CAUTION
If it is necessary to change a fuse, always replace with the correct rating
i.e. 2x200mAT for 230V, or 2x315mAT for 110V .
To change a fuse press the retaining lug in the middle of the fuse panel (situated below the
mains connector on the back panel). Remove the fuse panel and replace the fuse(s). Click
the fuse panel back in position.
Potential Equalisation
Section 1
Operating Elements
The potential equalisation stud at the rear of the unit can be used to equalise the ground
potential of the AT-102 to that of all mains powered equipment in the vicinity. Use the
hospital or building common ground.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible interference from the Ergometer when carrying out an
exercise test, it is recommended that both the AT-102 and the Ergometer
are connected to the same common ground.
To prevent the possibility of leakage current when an external printer is
connected, always ensure that the mains lead, or the potential equalisation
(next to the mains connector), is attached to the AT-102
A yellow/green ground cable is supplied as an option (Article number 2. 310 005).
