SECTION I HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1-1. General
Electro-Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system (with the exception of the
hydraulic cylinders and hoses) is contained within
the base of the table. The hydraulic valves and
pump are electrically controlled by the use of a handheld push button pendant control. The power requirements for the table are 120 VAC, 5 amp, 60 Hz.
The table contains the following components. Refer
to the block diagram (figure 1-1) for relationship.
a. Oil Reservoir - Main oil supply. Approximately
two quarts.
b. Motor/Pump Assembly - A positive displacement gear type pump provides the necessary oil
pressure and volume.
c. Pressure Relief Valve - Provides an alternate oil
path when the hydraulic cylinders reach the end of
their stroke.
d. Electro/Hydraulic Mini-Valve Assemblies -These
direct the fluid to the appropriate hydraulic cylinders.
Figure 1-1. Hydraulic Block Diagram
Page 1
e. Hydraulic Lines, Fittings, Connections - They
provide a path for the hydraulic oil.
f. Hydraulic Cylinders - They convert the hydraulic
fluid pressure and volume into mechanical motion.
1-2. Component Operation
The main component of the valve is an adjustable
spring loaded plunger that is pushed off from its
seat by the oil pressure. The oil then flows back into
the reservoir. See figure 1-4. Turning the adjustment nut clockwise increases the amount of oil
pressure required to open the valve, and turning it
counterclockwise decreases the amount of oil pressure. (See adjustment section for specification.)
a. Motor/Pump Operation
The motor/pump assembly is a gear type pump that
provides the oil pressure and volume for the entire
hydraulic system. The pump has an inlet side and
an outlet side. The inlet side is connected to the
reservoir which provides the oil supply. The reservoir has a very fine mesh screen strainer which
prevents foreign material from entering the oil system.
The output line of the pump is connected to the main
oil galley which is internal and common to all the
hydraulic mini-valves and pressure relief valve.
Also, common to the hydraulic mini-valves and
pressure relief valve is an oil galley that internally
connects to the oil reservoir to provide a return path
for the hydraulic oil. See figure 1-2.

b. Pressure Relief Valve
This device provides an alternate oil path when the
hydraulic cylinders reach the end of their stroke
and the pump continues to run. If this path were not
provided, the pump motor would stall because the
oil cannot be compressed. The pressure relief
valve is directly connected to the mini-valve bodies
and shares both the common internal main pressure oil galley, and the return oil galley, that internally connect to the reservoir. See figure 1-3.

c. Mini-Valves
The operation of the mini-valves is identical for all
table functions except the elevation and brake
circuits. These two hydraulic circuits use a 3-way
(single check valve) type mini-valve. All other functions use a 4-way (dual check valve) type minivalve.
Also, by using this control method, it doesn’t matter
what size cylinder and piston is used because the
speed can be controlled by restricting the return oil.
If the pump puts out more volume to a certain slave
cylinder than the speed control is allowing to go
back to the reservoir, the pressure relief valve
provides an alternate path for the pump oil.
Either type mini-valve is controlled by two pushing
type, electrically operated solenoids. The solenoids push the spool valve (located in the lower
portion of the valve) one way or the other. This
motion opens the main supply galley (which has
pump pressure) allowing the oil to flow through the
various parts of the mini-valve to the function. The
spool valve also opens an oil return circuit which
allows the oil to return to the oil reservoir.
The main components of the mini-valve and their
functions are listed below:
1. Spool Valve - Opens the main oil galley
(pump pressure) to either mini-valve outlet depending on which direction the spool valve is
pushed. Also it provides a return path for the oil
returning back into the reservoir.
2. Pilot Plunger - There are two plungers in a
four-way mini-valve (one in a 3-way mini-valve),
one under each check valve. The purpose of the
pilot plungers is to mechanically open the return
check valve allowing the oil to return back into the
reservoir.
d. Mini-Valve in Neutral Position
(No fluid flow) See figure 1-5.
1. Spool Valve Centered - This closes off both
oil pressure and oil return galleys.
2. Pilot Plungers Both Closed -The pilot plungers control the opening of the check valves. If they
are closed, the check valves must be closed.
3. Check Valves - Both check valves are
closed trapping the oil in the cylinder and oil lines.
4. Speed Adjustment - When the mini-valve is
in the neutral position, the speed adjustment does
not affect anything because there is not any oil
flow.
3. Check Valve - Two are provided in each
four-way mini-valve to seal the oil in the cylinders
and oil lines and prevent any movement of the
table. One check valve is provided in a 3-way minivalve.
4. Speed Adjustments - There are two speed
adjustments in each mini-valve. They are needle
valve type controls which restrict the volume of oil
returning back into the reservoir, thereby controlling the speed of the table surface movement. A 3way mini-valve has only one speed adjustment.
The speed controls are always located in the return
oil circuit. This prevents uncontrolled movement of
the piston in the slave cylinder due to one side of
the piston being loaded with hydraulic pressure
and the other side having no load.

solenoid. This opens the internal oil pressure galley allowing the fluid to go through the check valve
and on to the cylinder. Also, the spool valve opens
the oil return line providing an oil path through the
internal oil galley back to the reservoir.
2. Pilot Plunger Valve - Left pilot plunger valve
is pushed up by the incoming oil pressure mechanically opening the check valve located above it in
the return circuit. This action allows the oil from the
left side of the slave cylinder to go back into the
reservoir. The right pilot plunger valve is not
affected in this operation mode.

2. Pilot Plunger Valve - Right pilot plunger valve
is pushed up by the incoming oil pressure mechanically opening the check valve located above it in
the return circuit. This action allows the oil from the
right side of the slave cylinder to go back into the
reservoir. The left pilot plunger valve is not affected
in this operation mode.
3. Check Valves - Both check valves are
opened in this operation mode. The right check
valve is pushed open by the oil pressure created by
the pump. The oil then continues to go through the
lines and pushes the slave cylinder piston to the
left. At the same time, the left check valve is held
open mechanically by the pilot plunger providing a
return path for the oil through the mini-valve back to
the reservoir.
4. Speed Adjustment - The right speed control
(output side) does not have any effect in this
operation mode because the oil is routed around
the speed adjustment through a by-pass valve and
then to the output port. The left speed adjustment
controls the speed of the table function by restricting the amount of oil going back into the reservoir.

2. Trendelenburg Cylinder Assembly - This
cylinder / piston arrangement has rack teeth cut
into the top of each piston. These teeth mesh with
a pinon gear that is connected directly to the table
side frames. The pinion gear shaft and table side
frames are supported by bearings at either side.
When hydraulic fluid is pumped into one side of the
cylinder, the pistons are pushed in one direction,
moving the pinion gear and table side frames with
them. Oil pressure can be applied to either side of
the piston, making the table tilt end for end. See
figure 1-10.

1. Back Section and Leg Section Cylinders The double action cylinders are closed at one end
and have a movable piston with hydraulic fluid on
both sides. Connected to this piston is a ram or
shaft that exits out of the other end of the cylinder.
Through the use of either a gear, or clevis and pin
arrangement, this ram is connected to a movable
table surface.
The movable surface can be moved one way or
the other by pumping hydraulic fluid into the cylinder on either side of the piston. Obviously, if oil is
pumped into one side of the cylinder, a return path
must be provided for the oil on the other side. See
figure 1-9.

3. Lateral Tilt Assembly - The lateral tilt assembly consists of two cylinders, pistons and connecting rods. The connecting rods attach to the lateral
tilt lever which connects to the table side frames.
When hydraulic fluid is pumped into one cylinder,
the piston and connecting rod pushes the lateral tilt
lever which tilts the table top to one side. To tilt the
table top in the opposite direction, fluid is pumped
into the opposite cylinder. See figure 1-12.

5. Kidney Lift - The kidney lift cylinder assembly is a unique type of double action cylinder where
the piston remains stationary and the outer housing
or cylinder has the relative motion. The cylinder
housing has rack teeth cut into the top which
meshes with a pinion gear. This gear meshes with
other gears to supply the up or down drive for the
kidney lift bars, depending on which direction the oil
is pumped into the cylinder. See figure 1-14. A
cross shaft transmits the rotary motion of the
cylinder pinion gear to a gear set on the other side
of the table. This enables the kidney lift bars to
move up and down together without binding.

4. Elevation Cylinder - This single action cylinder does not have hydraulic fluid on both sides of
the piston. It depends on the weight of the table top
assembly to lower it.
The cylinder is set in the center of the elevation
main column. The two stage cylinder is elevated by
the driven force of the oil pressure. When lowering,
the oil that is accumulated in the cylinder is returned
to the oil reservoir through the mini-valve due to the
table top weight.
A slider support assembly is used to support the
weight of the upper table section. A stainless steel
shroud covers the flexible hydraulic hoses and
slider. See figure 1-13.

The movable piston's ram is connected to a brake

cylinder pushes the piston down raising the table
base off its casters. An internal return spring on the
bottom of the piston, pushes the piston up to return
the oil through the mini-valve to the reservoir.

h. Elevation Cylinder Return Circuit
A three-way (single check valve type) mini-valve
controls both the elevation and return circuits. The
elevation circuit operation within the mini-valve is
identical to the operation of the four-way valves
previously described (inlet pressure opens the
check valve allowing the oil to enter the cylinder). In
the return position, inlet pressure pushes the pilot
plunger up and opens the return check valve. See
figure 1-16. The open check valve allows a path for
the oil in the elevation cylinder to return to the
reservoir. When the pilot plunger valve is opened,
the continuing pump pressure opens the pressure
relief valve which provides a return oil path to the
reservoir.
The mini-valve used in the elevation circuit contains only one check valve (all four-way minivalves use two check valves). The check valve is
used to trap the oil in the elevation cylinder thereby
supporting the table top. When the top is being
lowered the check valve is mechanically held open
by the pilot plunger through pump pressure.

Each corner of the cast-iron table base has a
hydraulic brake cylinder. These single action cylinders are hydraulically connected in parallel to the
mini-valve and all four are activated together. It is
normal for one corner of the table to raise before the
others due to the weight distribution of the table.
An electronic timer in the relay box is activated
when any function on the pendant control is
pushed momentarily. The pump/motor and brake
system mini-valve are activated and the brake
cylinders are completely set. The electronic timer
runs for approx. 8-10 seconds.
The brakes are released by pushing the BRAKE
UNLOCK button momentarily. An electronic timer
in the relay box activates the brake function hydraulic mini-valve and pump/motor.
Page 7
When activated, the return hydraulic circuit operates similar to the elevation cylinder return circuit.
Return springs inside the single action brake cylinders retract the brake pads and provide the pressure to return the hydraulic oil back to the reservoir.
The electronic timer operates the return circuit for
approximately 8-10 seconds.
j. Emergency Brake Release
The emergency brake release is simply a manually
operated bypass valve connected in parallel to the
brake cylinders and the oil reservoir. See figure 1-
18. When the valve is opened (turned counterclockwise) a return circuit for the brake hydraulic
fluid is opened. The return springs force the pistons
up pushing the hydraulic oil back into the reservoir
and retracting the brake pads.
k. Flex/Reflex System
The Flex/Reflex system incorporates an additional
mini-valve which connects the trendelenburg and
back section hydraulic systems in a series. When
FLEX is activated by the pendant control, the Flex/
Reflex mini-valve opens the oil pressure path to the
Reverse Trendelenburg piston. The return oil path
from the Trendelenburg piston is routed through the
back section cylinder to the mini-valve return port.

To adjust:
a. Fluid Level.
The fluid level should be approximately 1/2" below
the filler hole or gasket surface. If additional fluid is
needed, remove the filler vent cap with a phillips
screwdriver and add fluid through this opening
using a funnel. See figure 1-20.
NOTE
The elevation cylinder should be completely down, the brakes released and
all the other control functions in their
neutral position when checking oil level.

The type of oil that should be used is Mobil DTE #25
or equivalent. This is a very high quality hydraulic
oil. The table requires approximately two quarts of
oil to operate properly. Excercise caution when
determining equivalance to avoid damage to the
hydraulic system.

2. Raise the table top until the piston reaches
the end of its stroke and stalls. Observe reading
on pressure gauge and turn the adjustment nut
(clockwise to increase oil pressure, counterclockwise to decrease) until desired reading is
obtained. Pressure should be 8MPA (80KG/CM
2
1138 PSI). An erratic reading and/or inability to
adjust to the recommended setting may indicate
the need for replacement of the pressure relief
valve.

b. Bleeding The Hydraulic System
To purge the air from the hydraulic system, operate
each function back and forth at least two or three
times.
NOTE
Whenever a hydraulic line or component is replaced, bleed the air out of the
lines using the pump pressure before
making the final connection. Then operate the function until it stalls in both
directions.
c. Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve is adjusted by turning the
adjustment nut until the desired pressure is reached.
The speed controls restrict the volume of oil returning back to the reservoir thereby controlling the
speed of each control function.
All four-way mini-valves, have two speed controls
located in the ends of each valve body. All threeway mini-valves have only one speed control.
One speed control adjusts one direction of a
particular function and the opposite speed control
adjusts the other direction. They are adjustable by
using a small straight blade screwdriver and
turning the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the speed and counterclockwise to
increase the speed. See figure 1-22.

2. The gauge should read the following values
when operating the various control functions in
either direction. Turn the speed controls until
desired values are obtained.
Figure 1-22.
Any control function should move in either direction at the same rate. If the rate of a certain function
is too slow, open the speed control slightly and
recheck. Use the second hand on a watch and time
a particular function. Match that time in the opposite
direction by opening or closing the speed control.
Approximate operating times are as follows:

raising the table. The speed control will only affect
the rate of descent and it should equal the rate of
elevation.

The hydraulic cylinder rams that control both the
back and foot / leg sections must move together so
that these sections are not twisted when operated.
This is accomplished by the use of eccentric cams
that move the cylinder bodies fore and aft to adjust
their effective stroke.
NOTE
Adjust gear mesh before adjusting eccentric cams for the back section.
a. Back Section
Position the back section all the way up until it
stalls. Both sides of the back section should stop
moving at the same time and should not show any
signs of twisting.
Any twisting or flexing of the back section as it
approaches the stalled position indicates that one
of the cylinders is not reaching its fully extended
position at the same time as the other. This
condition would require an adjustment.
Figure 2-2. Back Section Adjustment
b. Leg Section
Position the leg section all the way up. Both sides
of the leg section should stop moving at the same
time and should not show any signs of twisting.
Any twisting or flexing of the leg section as it
approaches the stalled position indicates that one
of the cylinders is not reaching its fully extended
position at the same time as the other and an
adjustment is required.
Page 11
To adjust:
NOTE
The leg section cylinder eccentric cam
is located under the nameplate on the
side casting. To make an adjustment,
the nameplate will have to be removed
and a new nameplate will have to be
installed when the adjustment is com-
pleted.
To adjust:
Loosen the cam locking set screws located inside
the table side frames. See figure 2-3. Use an allen
wrench to turn the cylinder eccentric cams as
required to shift either cylinder fore or aft as needed
so no twisting or flexing of the leg section is observed when it is stalled in the above horizontal
position. Tighten set screws when proper adjustment is achieved.
Place the head section in level position and remove
the top. See figure 2-4. Loosen but do not remove
the allen bolts securing the bearing block to the
frame. Loosen the allen bolt in the top of the frame
and turn the set screw as required to achieve
proper adjustment. One or both of the blocks may
require adjustment to achieve proper alignment.
Tighten all allen bolts when adjustment is complete.
Test the head section throughout its range of travel.

3-1. Precautions
Before attempting to troubleshoot any hydraulic
problem on the table, please read through the precautions and notes below.
CAUTION
When disconnecting any of the hydraulic lines, fittings, joints, hoses, etc., for
the following control functions, be sure
these table surfaces are in their down
position or completely supported.
Elevation
Back Section
Leg Section
Kidney Lift
When working on the trendelenburg or
lateral tilt hydraulic circuits, be sure to
support the table top. When working on
the brake system make sure the brakes
are completely retracted.
5. Is the problem no movement of a table
surface or does the table surface lose position?
Once the problem has been determined, concen-
trate on that particular hydraulic circuit or control
function.
Listed below are the hydraulic components that
are common with all hydraulic circuits. If there is a
problem with any of them, it could affect all control
functions.
1. Motor/Pump Assembly
2. Reservoir
3. Pressure Relief Valve
4. Certain Oil Lines and Galleys
If there was a problem in the following components,
only one control function would normally be affected.
1. Mini-Valve
2. Slave Cylinder
3. Oil Lines
WARNING
Failure to follow these precautions may
result in an uncontrolled oil spray and
damage to the table or personal injury.
3-2. Troubleshooting Notes
When troubleshooting a table malfunction, first
determine the following:
1. Does the problem affect all control func-
tions?
2. Does the problem affect only one control
function?
3. If the problem affects one control function is
it in both directions?
4. Is the problem intermittent?
NOTE
Whenever a hydraulic line or component is replaced, bleed the air out of the

SECTION IV ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4-1. General
The complete electrical system (with the exception of the hand-held pendant control and the return
circuit micro-switches) is contained within the base
of the table. The pump motor and the hydraulic
valves are controlled electrically with the pendant
control.
The electrically operated functions are as follows:
- ELEVATION - Up and Down
- TRENDELENBURG - Head up and down
- LATERAL TILT - Right and left
- BACK SECTION - Up and Down
- LEG SECTION - Up and Down
- FLEX / REFLEX
- KIDNEY LIFT - Up and down
- RETURN TO LEVEL
4-2. Components
Refer to figure 4-1 for the relationship of the electrical components.
a. Wires, Connectors, Switches, Fuse - These
provide the path for the various electrical circuits.
b. Relay Box - Contains the step down transformer, full wave rectifier, micro-processor and
relay switches. The relay switches are activated
by the pendant control signal to the micro-processor and in turn energize the solenoids.
c. Hand-Held Pendant Control - Contains
circuit board mounted switches and a micro-processor which activate the relay box. Operates on
5 VDC.
d. Solenoids - These electrically open and
close the hydraulic ports of the mini-valve to direct
the fluid to the correct cylinders. They operate on
120 VAC.
The power requirements are 120 VAC, 60 Hz. The
main power on-off switch is an enclosed DPST
circuit breaker type and the power cord is a threewire, fifteen foot long, UL listed cord with a threeprong hospital grade plug.
4-3. Battery Model Components
The functions of the battery model tables are the
same as the standard 120 VAC models. The
electrical components and operation however, vary
greatly between the two models. To simplify the
troubleshooting procedures, the battery model
tables are covered separately in Section VI for the
model 6600B.

SECTION V 6600 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
-1. Troubleshooting Notes
The basic operation of each component will be
defined along with a drawing and explanation on
how to check it out.
NOTE
This section does not cover the battery table components. They are
covered separately in Section 6.
Certain defective components could cause the
entire table to stop functioning or only one control
function to stop. It would depend on what part of the
component failed. Other defective components
would only cause one control function to stop.
The following defective components could cause
all control functions to be affected:
a. Motor/Pump Assembly (starting capacitor)
b. Main Switch Circuit and Wiring
1. Plug the power cord into the 120VAC power
supply (wall receptacle) and turn ON the main
switch.
2. Disconnect connector CN4 from the relay
box. See figure 5-1. Leave all other connectors
connected.
WARNING
Line voltage (120 VAC) will be measured in this test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.

The following defective components could cause
all control functions to be affected or only one
control function:
a. Relay Box
b. Pendant Control
The component listed below would only affect one
control function:
Solenoid
When troubleshooting an electrical circuit, start at
the problem and work back to the power source.
5-2. Main Switch
The main power supply, 120 VAC, 60 HZ, comes in
through the power cord and through the Power
Switch. The Power Switch opens both lines when
in the "OFF" position. The Power Switch is also a
10 Amp circuit breaker that is used to protect the
complete electrical system.

If you do not receive the correct voltage measurement, the problem would have to be in the wires,
main switch or power cord. If the correct voltage is
obtained, everything is good up to this point and the
problem would have to be in another area.
5-3. Pendant Control
The Pendant Control is part of the solid state, multiplex, logic control system. The pendant control
contains illuminated, circuit board mounted switches
and a micro processor. The encoded output from the
pendant control is serial bit stream logic.
The output signal is transmitted to the micro processors in the relay box where the logic is decoded
and the appropriate relays for the selected function
are activated.
Figure 5-3. Pendant Control Test
Pendant Control troubleshooting should begin by
switching the operating mode of the table. For
example; if a function fails when operating the table
in the AC120V mode, use the auxiliary switches to
operate the function. If the function now operates,
the problem is probably in the pendant control,
connectors or wiring from the pendant control to
the relay box.
a. Pendant Control Test
There are some serviceable components within
the Pendant Control. The cord is detachable and
can be tested for continuity between the pins on the
connectors. Use the following procedure to test the
pendant control cord.
Disconnect the cord from the table connector and
from the pendant control connector and using an
ohmmeter, test the continuity between the corresponding pins in the connectors. See figure 5-3.
b. Test Results
c. Table Connector CN37 Test
If correct readings are received, test the wiring
from the table connector to connector CN7 at the
Relay Box. Disconnect connector CN7 from the
Relay Box and using an ohmmeter, test the continuity between the corresponding pins in connectors CN7 and the table connector. See figure 5-4.

and from connector CN7 to CN36. Disconnect
connector CN36 and using an ohmmeter, test the
continuity between the corresponding pins in connectors CN36 to CN7 and CN36 to CN37. See
figure 5-4.
Page 27
If the correct readings are obtained, this part of the
circuit is okay and the problem may be the Pendant
Control circuit board or the Relay Box. Contact
SKYTRON if all tests performed indicate that the
problem is located in the Pendant Control.

Figure 5-6. Auxiliary Switch Test
The following tests will determine if the auxiliary
switches are functioning properly.
a. Switch Test
Disconnect connector CN3 at the Relay Box and
using an ohmmeter check for continuity at the
connector pins (pin 1A common) while activating
the appropriate switch. See figure 5-5. Meter
should read 0 ohms.
b. Test Results
If proper meter readings are not received, test the
individual switches as necessary. Using an ohmmeter, test the operation of an individual switch with the
(+) test lead at the center terminal of the switch and
the (-) test lead at the terminal opposite the direction
of the switch actuation. Refer to figure 5-6. Meter
should read 0 ohms. If the switches check out, the
problem would have to be in the wires, the switch
circuit board or connector CN3.

5-5. Relay Box
The power supply is directly connected to the relay
contacts. When these contacts are closed, 120
volts is supplied to the solenoids which are mounted
on the hydraulic mini-valves. One relay is used to
supply power to the pump/motor and is always
activated no matter what control function is selected. The brake locking circuit relay is also
activated when any control function other than
BRAKE UNLOCK is initially selected.
Also, inside the relay box is a step-down transformer
and full-wave rectifier which decreases the voltage to
5-6 volts. This low voltage potential controls the
relays by the use of the hand-held pendant control
buttons. Basically the relays enable a 5-6 volt potential to control the 120 volt circuit.
The following tests will determine if the relay box is
functioning correctly.
1. Connect the power cord to the table. Plug the
power cord into the 120 VAC power supply (wall
receptacle) and turn the main switch ON. Leave all
connectors connected.
WARNING
Line voltage (120 VAC) will be measured in this test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
2. Use an AC voltmeter capable of measuring
120 volts and measure the voltage between pins 1
(white) and 2 (black) of connector CN4 for input
voltage. See figure 5-7. Meter should read line
voltage 120 VAC.
3. Activate any table function with the Pendant
Control and using an AC voltmeter, test the voltage
at pins 3 and 4 of CN4 for output to the pump. Meter
should read 120 VAC.
NOTE
•The Brake Lock function is activated
by pressing any function button (except
BRAKE UNLOCK). A timer in the Relay Box allows continuous output for
about 7 seconds. If the brakes are
already locked, no output is provided.
•The BRAKE UNLOCK button activates
another timer in the relay box which
allows continuous output for the brake
release function for approximately 7
seconds. If the brakes are released
(using the BRAKE UNLOCK button) no
output is provided.
1. The power cord should be plugged into the
wall receptacle and Power Switch turned ON.
2. Disconnect the motor connector. All other
connectors should be connected. Test connectors
CN1, CN2A and CN2B from the back while attached to the relay box.

c. Checking Output to Solenoids
This test checks the high voltage (120V) that is
used to energize the solenoids.
3. Activate each of the Pendant Control buttons
measure the voltage for the corresponding connector pins with an AC voltmeter. See figure 5-8.

Figure 5-8. Solenoid Output Connectors
Page 29
d. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct meter readings, the
relay box or wiring is defective and should be
replaced.
NOTE
Before deciding the relay box is defective, check the wires and pins in the
connector blocks to make sure they are
not loose or making a bad connection
with their mate.
e. Checking Output to Pendant Control
The output to the Pendant Control can not be tested
without specialized equipment. If all tests have
been conducted and it appears that the Relay Box
is faulty, contact SKYTRON.
5-6. Solenoids
The solenoids are energized by 120 volt potential
that is controlled by the relays located inside the
relay box.
The solenoid windings are protected from excessive heat with an internal thermal fuse that will open
after approximately seven (7) minutes of continuous operation. The solenoid must be replaced if the
internal thermal fuse has been blown. The solenoids are mounted directly on either side of the
hydraulic mini-valves and push the spool valve in
one direction or the other depending upon which
solenoid is activated.
a. Solenoid Test
NOTE
Each solenoid is controlled with 120V
source coming from the relay box. This
source can easily be checked by measuring the voltage at the 2 pin connector
in question.
WARNING
Line voltage will be measured in this
test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
b. Step #1
1. Plug the table cord into the wall receptacle
and turn main switch ON.
2. Disconnect the 2 pin connector from the
solenoid in question. See figure 5-9.
3. Use a voltmeter capable of measuring 120
VAC and measure the voltage across the 2 pin
connector. Polarity of meter leads is not important.
NOTE
The appropriate pendant control button must be pushed during this test.
The motor will run when this test is
performed, and the brake locking solenoid will be activated by any function
other than UNLOCK.
The following tests check the voltage applied to the
solenoids and the resistance of the solenoid coil.
NOTE
If a solenoid does not function when the
pendant control button is pushed, the
problem could be the pendant control,
the relay box, or the solenoid.
Page 30
c. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct voltage, the problem could be in the wires leading to the connectors.
The problem could also be in the relay box or the
Pendant Control (refer to appropriate section for
troubleshooting).
If the correct voltage is obtained, everything is good
up to that point and the problem is more than likely
the solenoid.

e. Test Results:
The solenoid can be checked out using an ohmmeter R x 1 scale.
1. Measure the resistance between the two
pin connector in question as shown in figure 5-9.
Connector must be disconnected. Polarity of
meter leads is not important.
2. The meter should read approximately 58
ohms at room temperature.
3. Measure the resistance between either pin
and ground.
4. Meter should read infinity.
If the solenoid does not check out with the meter, it
is more than likely defective and must be replaced.
NOTE
Whenever there are several components of the same type, a defective unit
can also be detected by substituting a
known good unit or wire connector. In
some cases this may be faster than
using a multi-meter.

5-7. Motor/Pump Assembly
The electric motor is a capacitor start type with a
rating of 120 VAC, 200 watts. The field windings
are protected with a thermal protector that will open
the winding circuit if the motor is run continuously
for approximately 10 minutes. This protector will
take about 10 minutes to automatically reset. The
oil pump unit is attached to the bottom of the motor
and is a gear type displacement pump with a
pumping capacity of .4 liter per min. The Motor/
Pump Assembly is mounted on an insulated motor
plate in the base of the table. The starting capacitor
is mounted along side the motor/pump assembly.
a. Motor/Pump Test
The following tests will check the voltage applied to
the motor and the resistance of the motor field
windings.

motor or the starting capacitor.
d. Step #2
If the starting capacitor is shorted or grounded, the
motor will not run. Capacitors very seldom fail, and
it requires a dielectric tester to accurately test one.
However, an ohmmeter can be used to determine
if the capacitor will store a low voltage charge and
most of the time this is adequate.
1. Turn the main switch OFF.
2. Connector CN15 should be disconnected.
Page 32
3. Use the R x 100 scale of the ohmmeter and
touch pins 2 and 3 of connector CN15. See figure
5-11.
Figure 5-10.
e. Test Results:
The meter needle should move up scale and then
back down to infinity. This would indicate that the
capacitor is storing an electrical charge.
NOTE
The capacitor may have to be discharged
first (by shorting pins 2 and 3 together)
before you will be able to see the ohmmeter needle swing up the scale.
f. Step #3
The motor windings can be statically checked for
resistance using an ohmmeter.
1. Turn main power switch OFF.
2. Connector CN15 should be disconnected.
3. Use the R x 1 scale of the ohmmeter and
measure the resistance between the pins located
in the pump connector CN15. See figure 5-12.

5-8. Return-to-Level Micro-Switches.
The return-to-level feature is activated by a single
button on the pendant control and automatically
levels the major table functions, lateral tilt, Trendelenburg, back section, and leg section.
The kidney lift has a back section-up inhibit switch
to prevent the table back section from damaging
the kidney lift when the lift is raised. The back
section still has the capability to be lowered, but will
not raise above horizontal until the kidney lift is
completely down. If the back section is raised
above horizontal, the system will not allow the
kidney lift to be raised. An audible alarm will sound
if the kidney lift inhibit switch is activated and either
function is activated - raising back section when
Kidney lift is up or raising kidney bridge when back
section is above horizontal.
The return-to-level / kidney inhibit system consists
of 9 micro-switches, 2 electrical connectors, and
the related wiring. The micro-switches are mounted
on or adjacent to the function they control and are
wired for normally open or normally closed opera-
tion. The micro-switches are either cam or lever
actuated and can be adjusted at the individual
switch mounting brackets.
The micro-switches operate on low voltage, and
control the function circuits (pump/motor and appropriate solenoid valves) when activated by the
pendant control LEVEL button.
The micro-switches are wired to the relay box
through a riser cord and to the 15 pin connector
CN10. See figure 5-13 for switch location and
identification.
5-9. Troubleshooting
If a problem is suspected in the return circuits,
disconnect the connector CN10 from the Relay
Box to eliminate the circuits. Ensure that all table
functions operate properly using the Pendant Control. If the functions do not work properly using the
Pendant Control, refer to the appropriate test section and make all needed repairs before working on
the return circuits.

All of the micro-switches are connected to the relay
box via a wiring harness and the micro-switch riser
cord using connectors CN10 and CN35. Connector CN35 is located under the slider shroud in the
same area as the hydraulic hoses. Connector
CN10 plugs into the relay box and is the most
convenient location to make circuit continuity
checks. See figure 5-14 for connector pin locations.

a. Switch Test
Turn Main Power ON, lock the table brakes, and
place the table top sections in a level position with
the Kidney Lift down. Disconnect connector CN10
from the relay box and using an ohmmeter, test the
wiring and switch operation at the appropriate pin
numbers for the micro-switch in question as shown
in figures 5-15 through 5-19.
NOTE
Be sure to isolate the circuit when making continuity checks.
NOTE
If you do not receive the proper continuity results at connector CN10 it does not
necessarily mean the micro-switch is
defective. There could be a problem
with the riser cord between connectors
CN10 and CN35, or in the wiring from
the switch to connector CN35. Further
tests will have to be made to determine
the exact problem.

6-1. General
The battery table components operate on 24VDC.
The internal charging system also incorporates the
components to transform the 120VAC input to
24VDC output to the components.
6-2. Troubleshooting Notes
The basic operation of each component will be
defined along with a figure and an explanation on
how to check it out.
Certain defective components could cause the
entire table to stop functioning or only one control
function to stop. It would depend on what part of the
component failed. Other defective components
would only cause one control function to stop.
The following defective components could cause
all control functions to be affected:
a. Motor/Pump Assembly
b. Main Switch Circuit and Wiring
c. Pendant control
The following defective components could cause
all control functions to be affected or only one
control function:
a. Relay Box
b. Pendant Control
c. Auxilliary Switches
The component listed below would only affect one
control function:
Solenoid
6-3. Main Switch
The main power supply, 120 VAC, 60 HZ, comes
in through the power cord and through the
Power Switch. The Power Switch opens both
lines when in the "OFF" position. The Power
Switch is also a 10 Amp circuit breaker that is used
to protect the complete electrical system.
a. Main Switch Test
The following test will determine if line voltage is
applied to connector CN12, which in turn would
supply 120VAC power to the table.
1. Plug the power cord into the 120VAC supply
(wall receptacle) and turn the main switch ON.
2. Disconnect connector CN12. See figure
6-1. Leave all other connectors connected.
CAUTION
Line voltage (120 VAC) will be measured in this test. Do not touch uninsulated connector pins or meter test leads.
3. Use an AC voltmeter capable of measuring
120 VAC and measure the voltage between pins 1
and 2 (black and white wires) located in connector
CN12. See figure 6-2. You should receive line
voltage 120 VAC.
When troubleshooting an electrical circuit, start at
the problem and work back to the power source.
NOTE
•Battery table troubleshooting should begin by switching the operating mode. For
example; if a function fails in the AC120V
mode, switch to the BATTERY mode. If
the function now operates, the problem is
probably located between the power cord
and the relay box. If the function also fails
in battery operation, use the auxiliary
switches. If the function now operates,
the problem is probably in the pendant
control, connectors or wiring from the
pendant control to the relay box.
•All connector pins are numbered usually
with very small numbers.

If the correct voltage is obtained, everything is
good up to this point and the problem would have
to be in another area.
If you do not receive the correct measurements,
the problem would have to be in the wires, Power

6-4. Batteries
The BATTERY operating mode is powered by two
12 volt batteries connected in series to provide the
24 volt operating power.
The battery system voltage should be 24VDC at a
range of 22VDC to 26VDC. If the battery charge
level falls below 23.5 volts the BATTERY operation
indicator on the pendant control will blink indicating
that the batteries require recharging. The built-in
charging system automatically keeps the batteries
at the proper charge level when the AC120V operating mode is ON. The charging system will
operate while the table is being operated in the
AC120V mode.
a. Battery System Test
Figure 6-4.
b. Test Results
A reading of 11 volts or below indicates the battery
needs charging.
After batteries have been fully charged, repeat the
full load test. If either battery's voltage drops below
11VDC it should be replaced.
6-5. Battery Charging Box/AC120V Transformer
The Battery Charging Box contains the battery
charging system as well as the components for
AC120V operation (except the transformer).
a. Transformer Test
1. Confirm 120VAC input at CN12 using Main
Switch test in 6-3a.
1. Disconnect the main power cord and using
a DC voltmeter, test each individual battery at its
terminals. Meter should read 12VDC ± 1V.
2. To accurately test the batteries, they must
be tested under a full load. Disconnect the main
power cord and make sure all other connectors are
connected.
3. Turn BATTERY power ON and elevate the
table to its full up position.
4. Continue to press the TABLE UP button on the
pendant control so that the pump motor continues to
run and using a DC voltmeter, check the voltage drop
of each battery individually. See figure 6-4.
5. Meter should read 12VDC ± 1VDC.
2. Connect CN12, disconnect CN13 (brown
and red wires) and using an AC voltmeter, test the
transformer output at CN13. See figure 6-5.
3. Meter should read 22VAC.

to be in another area.
If you do not receive the correct measurements,
the problem may be in the wires, connectors, or
transformer. The transformer is located in the rear
of the base under the stainless steel base cover.
The stainless steel cover will have to be disconnected and lifted from the base for access to the
transformer for further testing.
c. Battery Charging Box Test
1. Make sure all connectors are connected and
turn AC120V operation ON. Using a DC voltmeter,
test pin 3(+) and pin 4(-) of CN14. DO NOT
disconnect connector CN14. See figure 6-6.

6-6. Switch-Over Relay
a. Switch-Over Relay in OFF Position
The Switch-Over Relay supplies the 24 volt input
power from either the BATTERY or AC120V operating modes to the relay box for table operation. In
the normal OFF position, BATTERY power is supplied to the relay box. See figure 6-8.

6-7. Pendant Control
The Pendant Control is part of the solid state, multiplex, logic control system. The pendant control
contains illuminated, circuit board mounted switches
and a micro processor. The encoded output from the
pendant control is serial bit stream logic.
The output signal is transmitted to the micro processors in the relay box where the logic is decoded
and the appropriate relays for the selected function
are activated.
Page 43
6600B
Pendant Control troubleshooting should begin by
switching the operating mode of the table. For
example; if a function fails when operating the table
in the AC120V mode, switch to the BATTERY
mode. If the function now operates, the problem is
not the pendant control and probably is a problem
located between the power cord and the relay box.
If the function also fails when in battery operation,
use the auxiliary switches to operate the function.
If the function now operates, the problem is probably in the pendant control, connectors or wiring
from the pendant control to the relay box.
a. Pendant Control Test
There are some serviceable components within
the Pendant Control. The cord is detachable and
can be tested for continuity between the pins on the
connectors. Use the following procedure to test the
pendant control cord.
Disconnect the cord from the table connector and
from the pendant control connector and using an
ohmmeter, test the continuity between the corresponding pins in the connectors. See figure 6-11.
c. Table Connector CN37 Test
If correct readings are received, test the wiring from
the table connector to connector CN7 at the Relay
Box. Disconnect connector CN7 from the Relay
Box and using an ohmmeter, test the continuity
between the corresponding pins in connectors
CN7 and the table connector. See figure 6-12.

connector CN36 and using an ohmmeter, test the
continuity between the corresponding pins in connectors CN36 to CN7 and CN36 to CN37. Refer to
figure 6-12.
If the correct readings are obtained, this part of
the circuit is okay and the problem may be the
Pendant Control or the Relay Box. Contact
SKYTRON if all tests performed indicate that the
problem is located in the Pendant Control.
If you do not receive the correct readings, the
wiring or connector pins may be faulty.
Page 44
6-8. Auxiliary Switches
6600B
The following tests will determine if the auxiliary
switches are functioning properly.
a. Switch Test
Disconnect connector CN3 at the Relay Box and
using an ohmmeter check for continuity at the
connector pins (pin 1A common) while activating
the appropriate switch. See figure 6-13. Meter
should read 0 ohms.
b. Test Results
If proper meter readings are not received, test the
individual switches as necessary. Using an ohmmeter, test the operation of an individual switch
with the (+) test lead at the center terminal of the
switch and the (-) test lead at the terminal opposite
the direction of the switch actuation. Refer to
figure 6-14. Meter should read 0 ohms. If the
switches check out, the problem would have to be
in the wires, the switch circuit board or connector
CN3.
OHM
Figure 6-14. Auxiliary Switch Test
6-9. Relay Box
The power supply is directly connected to the relay
contacts. When these contacts are closed, 24
volts is supplied to the solenoids which are mounted
on the hydraulic mini-valves. One relay is used to
supply power to the pump/motor and is always
activated no matter what control function is selected. The brake locking circuit relay is also
activated when any control function other than
BRAKE UNLOCK is
initially
selected.
Also, inside the 6600B relay box is a step-down
transformer and full-wave rectifier which decreases
the voltage to 5-6 volts. This low voltage potential
controls the relays by the use of the hand-held
pendant control buttons. Basically the relays enable a 5-6 volt potential to control the 24 volt circuit.
The following tests will determine if the relay box is
functioning correctly.
1. Connect power cord to table. Plug the power
cord into the 120VAC supply (wall receptacle).
Disconnect connector CN4, leave all other connectors connected.
2. Using a DC voltmeter, test input power for
both the BATTERY and AC120V operating modes.
See figure 6-15. Meter should read approximately
24 -28 volts.

1. Activate either BATTERY or AC120V oper-
ating mode.
NOTE
•The Brake Lock function is activated
by pressing any function button (except
BRAKE UNLOCK). A timer in the Relay
Box allows continuous output for about
7 seconds. If the brakes are already
locked, no output is provided.
•The BRAKE UNLOCK button activates
another timer in the relay box which
allows continuous output for the brake
release function for approximately 7
seconds. If the brakes are already
released (using the BRAKE UNLOCK
button) no output is provided.

proceed to the next step.
c. Checking Output to Pump
1. Disconnect pump connector CN16, connect
all other connectors and activate the AC120V
operating mode.
2. Test CN16 at pin 1(+) and pin 2(-) with a DC
voltmeter. Meter should read approximately 24-28
volts when any function button is activated. If no
voltage is present, use an ohmmeter to test the
continuity from CN16 to CN4 (yellow and blue
wires). Refer to figure 6-15 for CN4 pin locations.
2. Test connectors CN1, CN2A and CN2B
from the back while attached to the relay box. All
connectors should be connected.
3. Activate each of the pendant control buttons
and measure the output voltage for the corresponding connector pins with a DC voltmeter. See
figure 6-16. Meter should read 24 volts.

NOTE
•Before deciding the relay box is defective, check the wires and pins in the
connector blocks to make sure they
are not loose or making a bad connection with their mate.
•If the battery power is ON and no table
functions have been activated for 3
hours, the power off circuit will interrupt
the battery power.
f. Checking Output to Pendant Control
The output to the Pendant Control can not be
tested without specialized equipment. If all tests
have been conducted and it appears that the Relay
Box is faulty, contact SKYTRON.
6-10. Main Wire Harness Continuity Tests
If correct meter readings are not received in tests
between components, before replacing the components, test the Main Wire Harness to be sure all
connectors and wires are making a good connection.
a. CN4 to Batteries Test
1. Disconnect connectors CN4 and the (+) and
(-) connectors from the batteries. Leave all other
connectors connected.
The 15 amp battery protection fuse is in
the line between CN4 pin 1 and the
battery connector. Test the continuity
of the fuse if correct meter reading is
not received.
b. CN4 to Pump Test
1. Disconnect connectors CN4, CN16 and
CN17. Leave all other connectors connected.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity
between the pins of CN4 and pins on CN16 and
CN17. See figure 6-18.

6-11. Solenoids
The solenoids are energized by 24 volt potential
that is controlled by the relay box.
The solenoid windings are protected from excessive heat by an internal thermal fuse that will open
after approx. 7 minutes of continuous operation.
The solenoid must be replaced if the internal thermal fuse has been blown.
The solenoids are mounted directly on either side
of the hydraulic mini-valves and push the spool
valve in one direction or the other depending upon
which solenoid is activated.
a. Solenoid Test
The following tests will check the voltage applied
to the solenoids and the resistance of the solenoid
coil.
b. Test #1
1. Activate either BATTERY or AC120V oper-
ating mode.
2. Disconnect the 2 pin connector from the
solenoid in question, all other connectors should
be connected. See figure 6-20.

3. Use a DC voltmeter and measure the
voltage across the 2 pin connector. Pin 1(+), and
pin 2(-). Meter should read approximately 24-28
volts.
NOTE
•The appropriate pendant control button must be pushed during this test.
The motor will run when this test is
performed, and the brake locking solenoid will be activated by any function
other than UNLOCK.
•If a solenoid does not function when
the pendant control button is pushed,
the problem could be the pendant control, the relay box, or the solenoid.
c. Test Results:
If you do not receive the correct voltage, the problem could be in the wires leading down to the
connector. The problem could also be in the relay
box or the Pendant Control (refer to appropriate
section for troubleshooting).
If the correct voltage is obtained, everything is
good up to that point and the problem is more than
likely the solenoid.

d. Test #2
6600B
The solenoid can be checked out using an ohmmeter R x 1 scale.
1. Measure the resistance between the two
pin connector in question as shown in figure 6-20.
Connector must be disconnected. Polarity of
meter leads is not important.
2. The meter should read approximately 16
ohms at room temperature.
3. Measure the resistance between either
pin and ground.
4. Meter should read infinity.
e. Test Results:
If the solenoid does not check out with the meter,
it is more than likely defective and must be
replaced.

Figure 6-21. Motor Input Voltage
NOTE
If the pump has been activated continuously for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, the thermal
relay will interrupt the power to the
pump.
b. Thermal Protector Test
The Thermal Protector is built in to the pump motor
and is used to interrupt the current flow to the pump
motor to protect it from possible damage due to
overheating.
1. Turn OFF both BATTERY and AC120V
operating modes.
Whenever there are several components of the same type, a defective
unit can also be detected by substituting a known good unit or wire connector. In some cases this may be
faster than using a multi-meter.
6-12. Motor/Pump Assembly
The hydraulic pump motor is a thermally protected
24 volt DC electric motor. The oil pump unit is
attached to the bottom of the motor and is a gear
type displacement pump with a pumping capacity
of .4 liter per min. The Motor/Pump Assembly is
mounted on insulators in the base of the table.
a. Motor/Pump Test
1. Disconnect motor connector CN16. Leave
all other connectors connected and activate either
BATTERY or AC120V operating mode.
2. Use an ohmmeter to test for continuity
between terminals 1 and 2 on the connector CN17.
See figure 6-22.

3. The Thermal Relay should reset itself after
approximately one minute.
4. The Thermal Relay should activate after 11/2 to 2 minutes of continuous pump operation.
c. Motor Resistance Test
2. Activate any function and use a DC voltmeter to measure across the two pin connector. Pin
1(+) and pin 2(-). See figure 6-21. Meter should
read 24-28 volts.
The motor can be statically checked for resistance
using an ohmmeter. This test is not 100% accurate
because you are checking the motor with very low
voltage from the meter and without any load.

1. Using an ohmmeter R x 1 scale, measure the
resistance between the two pins of CN16. See
figure 6-23.
2. The meter should read 1 to 2 ohms at room
temperature.
3. Measure the resistance between either
pin and ground.
4. Meter should read infinity.

SECTION VII ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
7-1. Relay Box Adjustments (Battery Table Only)
The Relay Box contains variable resistors for adjusting the operating timers for the BRAKE SET
and BRAKE UNLOCK functions. The Relay Box
for the battery model tables also has variable
resistors for setting the Power Off timer and the
battery recharge warning circuit. These timers are
set at the factory and usually never need adjustment. If an adjustment is necessary, remove the
relay box cover and use the following procedures.
See figure 7-1.
a. Brake Release Timer
The Brake Release Timer is set for about 7 seconds and is controlled by the variable resistor VR1
on the relay box circuit board. Turn the adjuster
clockwise to increase the operating time. Counterclockwise to decrease the operating time.
b. Brake Set Timer
The Brake Set Timer is set for about 7 seconds and
is controlled by the variable resistor VR2 on the
relay box circuit board. Turn the adjuster clockwise
to increase the operating time. Counterclockwise
to decrease the operating time.
