INTRODUCTION
The AUTION™ ELEVEN AE-4020 analyzer is manufactured in a strict quality control, however, because it is a
precision instrument, if one part is deteriorated, satisfactory result may not be obtained. Moreover, because it is
an analyzer using high technology, any operational trouble also affects measurement result significantly. In case
a trouble is occurred due to such a reason, refer to this service manual and operating manual for an appropriate
remedy.
CAUTION
This service manual is made for specially trained service representative only. This may be used as a
reference material for other persons, however, ARKRAY Corporation bears no liability for any accidents or
no warranty of the product if undesignated person performs the service described on this manual.

3) Principles of measurement
In the Optical Block, two different ranges of wavelength from the LED are irradiated on the reacted
parts of the Test Strip and the color-tone-compensated section. At that time, the combination of the
wavelengths is different for each measurement item, as shown in the table below.
Light irradiated to the color-tone-compensation section is adjusted for interfering factors such as
amount of reflected light and color of sample.
From the amount of reflected light measured in the Optical Block, the reflectance is calculated
using the following formula:
R = Tm ・ Cs / Ts ・ Cm
R: Reflectance
Tm: Reflective light amount with the meas. wavelength
Ts: Reflective light amount with the ref. wavelength
Cm:Reflective light amount at the color-tone-compensated section with the meas. wavelength
Cs: Reflective light amount at the color-tone-compensated section with the ref. wavelength
1-3 Rev.B
Chapter 1 Outline of the Analyzer AE-4020 SERVICE MANUAL
Measurement of Color-tone
● Color-tone
Y: Reflectance of 430nm
M: Reflectance of 565nm
C: Reflectance of 635nm
r: Reflectance of 760nm

(1) Place Introduction arm positioning fixture on surplus urine suction port.
(2) Select Service Mode: 440 -> ENTER. Introduction arm moves to push the fixture against suction
ports.
(3) Adjust the distance from the pusher tip to the depth to 4.5 to 4.85mm.
*A pair of pushers has 0.5 mm max. longitudinal deviation at tip. For this adjustment, correct the
deviation at the pusher having deviation at front.
*To meet the adjustment requirement, as shown in the figure above, determine the time (ms) where
movement is to be stopped, after PI before and after introduction drive section changes from
bright to dark, to avoid touching the go check section (4.5 mm) but to touch the not go check

4-1. Adjustment
[Checking before adjustment] Verify that the window plate and automatic start sensor are free from
stains and scratches.
(1)Move the Introduction arm to the end of the introduction position (Service mode: 400 ->
ENTER -> 2).
(2)Position the test strip No.8 for adjustment (N8 dull attached: see figure below) at the midpoint
of automatic start detection window.
Detection window
(3)Turn VR07 on the driver print circuit board counter-clockwise fully to the end.
(4) Slowly turn VR07 clockwise until D04(red LED) turns ON. Perform adjustment at this point.
*CAUTION [1]: Stop turning VR07 CW once the LED turns on. Higher sensitivity causes sensor
error: LED is kept lit.
* CAUTION [2]: Do not touch test strips N8, N5 and N3 with bare hands. ND surface must be free
from dust and scratches: if contaminated or degraded, replace with new one. Also,
replace periodically, at least every 1 year. Store test strips at room temperature in
lightproof condition.
4-2. Verification 1
[1]Keep the introduction lever at introduction position during the step below.
[2]While sliding the test strip N5 for adjustment (with dull N5 attached) from the front of detection
window to the far end of the window, verify that the automatic start sensor displays "0: not detected"
on the screen.
* Make sure that ND paper attached surface is facing down (detection window side).
6-6 Rev.B
Chapter 6 Adjustment Method AE-4020 Service Manual
4-3. Verification 2
[1]Leave the screen display as it is. Position the test strip N3 for adjustment (ND paper: dull N3
attached) 2-3 mm from the front of detection window.
* Make sure that ND paper attached surface is facing down (detection window side).
[2]Put your hand over the detection window until "1: detected" is displayed on the screen.
[3]Remove your hand from the position and check that the display will change to "0: not detected".
[4]Move the test strip N3 for adjustment (ND paper: dull N3 attached) to a position 2-3 mm from the
front face of detection window; and repeat steps [2] and [3] above. Verify "0: not detected" message.
4-4. Verification 3
[1] Place a white base film (test strip for adjustment N8, N5 or N3 with ND attached surface facing
upward) at a position approx. 5 mm from the front.
Move the white base film slowly backward while observing the screen for the message generated by
automatic start sensor.
When the message changes from "0: not detected" to "1: detected", verify that the distance is within
1.5 mm from the end of detection window.
[2] In the same condition as the above step, move the base film from a position 5 mm behind the
rear slowly toward front. When the message changes from "0: not detected" to "1: detected", verify
that distance is within 1.5 mm from the end of detection window.
●Test strip for adjustment (N8, N5, N3) ND8 (dull N8 attached)
* CAUTION: Excessively increased sensitivity of automatic start detection will keep "ON" state
during measurement, and may generate E008 automatic start sensor error.
After increasing the sensitivity of automatic start sensor, be sure to perform
verification 1(N5) and verification 2 (N3).
[Reference] Reflectance (760 nm) of test strips for adjustment measured on AE-4020
[1] ND8: approx. 70%
[2] ND5: approx. 22%
[3] ND3: approx. 7%
[Remarks] Do not touch test strips for adjustment (N8, N5, N3) with bare hands. Keep ND surface free
from dust and scratches. Store strips at room temperature under lightproof condition.
Replace strips as they become dirty or degraded, or periodically replace (approx. every
year).

[Checking before the adjustment] Adjustment of the standby position of transportation section
(Service mode 450) shall be completed.
[1]With alignment arm positioned as specified in 9-1, test strip shall be placed to touch the rib of
right-hand arm.
Test strip contacts with arm rib.
[2]Press No.1 key. While leaving the set test strip as it is, return the introduction arm and alignment
arm to the standby position.
Make sure that the test strip is undisturbed. If disturbed, use "2" key to move the alignment arm
to alignment position to make the test strip touch the arm.
[3] Under the condition shown in the figure above, press "5" key to move the test strip to a port
under the photometric section.
Clearance between
test strip and guide
[4] Refer to the figure above. Pass a 0.5 mm block gage through the clearance between test strip
and guide. If the block gage fails to pass, jump to 9-4.
When the block gage passes the clearance, reverse the direction of the test strip as shown in the
figure below(holding portion of the test strip at left), touching it to left-hand arm.

[5] In the same way as the previous check, press "1" key to return the introduction arm and
alignment arm back to the standby position. Press "5" key to move the test strip under the
photometric section.
[6] Refer to the figure above. Pass a 0.5 mm block gage through the clearance between test strip
and guide. If the block gage fails to pass, jump to 9-4.
Otherwise, terminate the alignment position adjustment and proceed to 9-3.
[1] In service mode 400, use "1" key to move the introduction arm and alignment arm to the
standby position.

[1]The clearance between test strip and guide has been verified 0.5 mm or less in 9-2.
If this clearance specification is exceeded afterward, check the deviation of test strip alignment at
port 1 through the photometric section: if deviated rightward, move the test strip leftward, and vice
versa.
Depending on the situation, use the different surface of alignment position adjustment fixture(jig) 2.
Fixing screws
(Bottom side)
[2] Adjust the left and right side position of the alignment mechanism so that the clearance between
the tip of the alignment arm rib and fixture is 0 mm and fix it with screws.
Criteria: Clearance between tip of alignment arm rib and the fixture:0 +/- 0.25 mm.

Criteria: The clearance between L/R guide and the end of coming test strip measured under
the photometric section is 0.5 mm or more.
If the clearance is outside the criteria, the bonded pulley and associated parts around it may have
play or looseness, or transport motor is not positively installed or secured.
