• Power Testing
o Note battery age (if possible)
This information can be found on the “date code” sticker on the battery (use the earliest date
crossed out on the label); or on a sticker located on the bottom of the unit.
Based upon customer usage, and the age of the main battery, replace as needed and place a sticker
on the bottom of the unit to identify when the battery was replaced.
If the internal lithium battery is older than 5 years it should be replaced and a sticker should be placed
on the bottom of the unit to identify when the lithium battery was replaced.
Ensure the battery is fully charged before performing the battery tests; the test limits are based on a
fully charged battery.
Disconnect the AC power cord to begin this section of tests.
With the upper housing off of the unit, disconnect the battery cable from the positive terminal.
o Battery Open Circuit – Measure the open circuit battery voltage using a volt meter across the
battery terminals, the meter should read greater than 12.5vdc.
o Battery w/Load – Measure the battery voltage using a volt meter with a power resistor load
(10ohm, 20watt) across the battery terminals. After loading the battery for approximately 5
seconds, the meter should read greater than 11.7vdc.
o Off Current – Connect a current meter in line with the positive battery terminal to the
motherboard. With the unit in the “off” state the meter should read less than 450 micro amps.
o On Current – Set the current meter to a setting greater than 5 amps, and turn the unit on. Once
the unit powers up to the main menu, the current should read less than 2.7 amps.
o AC Charging Current – Insert the AC power cord and verify that the current draw from the battery
reverses polarity (starts to charge the battery) and the value starts decreasing in magnitude as
time increases.
o Battery Charger Output Voltage – Disconnect the current meter and measure the battery charger
output voltage between the disconnected positive battery cable and the negative battery terminal.
It should read between 13.0 and 14.0vdc.
Reconnect the battery cable to the positive terminal and verify all other internal cables are properly
connected. Install the writer assembly screws and the upper housing on the cardiograph.

Verify no gear skipping and proper paper tracking as the writer prints (you might need to
print 3 or more pages to verify this).
o ECG & Keyboard Matrix

Using a Mortara 10-lead patient cable, connect an ECG simulator to the UUT. Set the
simulator to an appropriate heart rate and amplitude to enable visual confirmation of the
correctness of the ECG printout (comparison to a sample printout from a “known good”
device is recommended). Press the AUTO key to capture an ECG. Enter Last Name
“PARCFL8”, click on OK to continue and then print the ECG.
NOTE: “PARCFL8” ensures the keyboard matrix is fully tested. Verify there is an audible
beep with each key press.
Verify that 12 ECG traces print with the correct heart rate, amplitude and morphology,
then assess the overall print out quality (ensure there is uniform darkness across entire
printout).
o ECG Noise Test

Connect a Shorting Block (TF-0063) or equivalent to the UUT and set the ECG gain to
20mm/mV. Print a Rhythm strip (approx. 1 page). Verify that no channels have more
than 0.5mm of baseline noise.

ELI 350__________________________________________________________________________
Unit turns on, no waveform is displayed on the LCD.
Press any key on the keyboard, if no response there is a possible communications problem
between front end board and motherboard.
1) Replace cable between front end and motherboard.
2) Replace front end board
3) Replace motherboard
No keyboard functions and LCD is frozen
1) Remove AC power.
2) Remove battery fuse from unit and leave out for 10 seconds.
3) Install battery fuse.
RS-232 Transmit/Receive Problems
Make sure that the baud rate set in the configuration matches that of the system that is being
transmitted to or received from. If the baud rate is set correct there is a problem with either the
transmission cable or the RS232 portion of the motherboard and the motherboard should be
replaced.
Optional Modem Transmit/Receive Problems
If the unit does not transmit via the modem the first item to check is the configuration. Make sure
that a telephone number is entered and that the number is correct. The next item to check is the
modem initialization string (please see the configuration section of this manual or the operator
manual).
Unit does not go into standby mode
If the unit does not go into “Stand-by” mode when the LCD is lowered, check the cable
connections from the Tilt-switch assembly to the motherboard. If this connection is OK, inspect
the cable for damage or loose connections.

ELI 350__________________________________________________________________________
Writer Tests
2.) Take an ECG using the method described in the operator manual.
Note: This test should be performed with the AC power connected to the unit.
Description of printout
The ECG that is printed should be clean, without missing segments.
When printing an ECG at different paper speeds the calibration pulse printed at the beginning of
each trace can be used to check the paper speed. Check the calibration pulse by measuring the
width and amplitude of the pulse at the beginning of each line of ECG tracing. Use the following
table for the correct measurements.
Note: The measurements should be made using a ruler and not the grid on the paper.
Paper Speed Cal Pulse Width
5mm/sec 1mm
10mm/sec 2mm
25mm/sec 5mm
50mm/sec 10mm
Gain Setting Cal Pulse Amplitude
5mm/mV 5mm
10mm/mV 10mm
20mm/mV 20mm
Adjusting the Writer Cue Sensor
Note: This test should be performed with the AC power turned on.
1) Install paper into the unit with the cue mark approx. 1 – 2 inches away from the tear bar.
Make sure that the cue sensor is seeing white and not any markings on the paper.
2) Use a DMM to measure the DC voltage at test point P15 on the motherboard with respect to
ground (GND5). Adjust R271 on the motherboard to between 1.95 V-DC and 2.05 V-DC at
test point P15. Set this as close to 2.0 V-DC as possible.
3) Perform either the Writer test or print a test ECG. The paper should cue to the next sheet of
paper, print and then advance to the beginning of the next sheet of paper.
4) If the Writer test is performed the results should be compared with the test printout in this
manual.
ECG Test
1.) Connect a simulator to the patient cable and connect the patient cable to the unit.
3.) Enter the ID screen and enter a test patient name.
4.) Press the Auto key. The unit will acquire the ECG and depending on the units’ configuration,
will print the ECG.
5.) Verify that the printed ECG is correct for the simulated input to the unit.

Transmitting Records
You may transmit ECGs from the ELI 350 to another Mortara Instrument electrocardiograph or to
an E-Scribe Data Management System using a direct connection or an optional factory installed
internal modem.
Before transmitting ECGs to E-Scribe, the site number must be defined as well as the telephone
number in the configuration.
NOTE: Telephone transmission is available with modem option only.
To transmit records (either to another cardiograph or to E-Scribe), select the XMT Key; the
following screen is displayed:
To batch transmit of all records in the directory, verify the transmit media selection in the
configuration menu. Next go to the directory and select batch. If a batch transmission is selected,
only those records which have not been previously transmitted or marked deleted will be
transmitted.
An ECG may be listed in the directory but have a “deleted status” (indicated by “X”). The
directory saves those records that have been marked for deletion in the event that you may want
to recover the ECG at a later time. All stored ECGs will remain in the directory until it becomes
full, at this time, the ELI 350 will automatically remove a record, the oldest record will be deleted
first, in order to make room for the new ECG. Only those records that have been marked for
deletion will be removed. Records are automatically marked for deletion based on the Delete
Rule configuration. To manually mark an ECG record for deletion, go into the directory and
choose the ECG you want to mark for deletion, then select delete from the options at the bottom
of the screen.
To transmit one ECG, select the ECG from the patient directory, and choose the XMT soft key.
To quickly find and select a patient name, highlight a patient in the directory, use the keyboard to
enter the first letter(s) of the last name. The desired name will automatically be highlighted.
When the desired record is highlighted, transmit the individual ECG.
After the transmission of your record(s), the Real-Time ECG View is displayed.

____________________________________________________________________________Section 4
Serial Port Test (Direct connect transmission)

For a direct connection hookup, connect the ELI 350 to another ELI 350 with a direct connect serial cable
(Mortara P/N: 25000-024). Plug each end of the cable into the serial ports (RS232).
In the configuration setting, select a baud rate of 9600 or 38400 bps for both units.
See above section on Transmitting Records to perform the test transmission.
Receive ECGs
To receive ECGs from another Mortara Instrument electrocardiograph (using either a telephone or a
direct connection), select Receive from the Menu on the left of the screen. The unit will then be ready to
receive the ECG from the other unit. The LCD displays the following message: Transmission Status
Waiting to Receive Record.
When the LCD displays the above message, the unit is ready to receive the ECGs from the transmitting
electrocardiograph. Follow the instructions on transmitting records as described in this section. The
receiving unit only acts as a printer. Received ECGs will not be viewed or stored. To terminate the
receiving mode, choose Cancel.
Note: The ELI 350 will only communicate with ELI 150, ELI 250 and ELI 350 units.
