2.3 Check whether power supply is normal
Consult figure 2.1.
Instrument is in normal operation，the primary condition is power supply is normal and stable, so
it is necessary to check power supply.
1) Solve according to method 3.1 if TP3 voltage not within range or zero.
2) TP4 voltage not within range，replace U15（LM338T）.
3) TP5 voltage not within range，replace U16（UA7805）.

Figure 2.1

3. Malfunction and remedy

3.1 No response when turn on instrument

Measure the voltage of TP3 as figure 3.1 shows, (normal range is 12±0.4V), check power adapter,
power input socket, power switch, power input connector, power input wire if the voltage not
within the range, and replace the defective parts. If all these components are all right, please check
the voltage as 2.3. If the voltage is OK, please replace the main board.
3.2 No display on the screen
As shown in figure 3.2, Check if the voltage of TP1 is -7±2V when the contrast grade is adjusted to
be >>>> on the screen. This voltage can be adjusted through “LCD contrast adjust potentiometer
(VR1)”. Replace the potentiometer or IC 4051 if can not be adjusted. Check whether 20-core FFC
cable is well connected if the voltage is normal. Please replace LCD module if problem still
persists by re-plug 20-core FFC cable.

Figure 3.2
3.3 The test results cannot be printed out through the internal printer
Printer board consult figure 3.3.
1).Confirm whether the printer is in good work condition;
2).First, check whether power supply is normal，+5V（+5±0.2V）and VP1（+8.3V±0.4V）; check
whether 10-core FFC cable on printer board and printer connection cable are well
connected，re-plug 10-core cable and printer connection cable；
3).Select print in review if above mention is no problem, printer no response and there is character
4
on paper by pulling the print paper, that is LB1838 insufficient solder or broken;
4).Printer paper is fed but not character, first check whether the paper is reversely installed，if
paper is correctly install please test Vp2（8.3V）and Q1(0.6V) voltage during paper skip.
①Vp2 and Q1 voltage are normal，that is U3 insufficient solder or broken;
②Q1 voltage is normal，Vp2 no voltage, that is U5 insufficient solder or broken;
③Q1 no input voltage，that is U6 insufficient solder or broken.
5)If above mention are normal, that is U2（SST89E54）insufficient solder or broken.

Figure 3.3
3.4 Inactive reagent strip sensor
As shown in figure 3.4, check the voltage of TP2 (ensure J3 on main board and JP1 on limit board
are well connected), the voltage of TP2 should not be exceeding 1.5V if there is on strip on the
holder; and should be more than 3.5V if strip is on the holder and under the strip sensor. Please
replace strip sensor if the voltage is not in the range. If problem persists, change U2 (LM393/SO)
on limit board.

 Figure 3.4
3.5 Time on the screen is abnormal
As shown in figure 3.6, relocate the battery. If time doesn’t hop, check whether the battery is
power off and frequency output of crystal oscillator (32.768K) is normal. Replace relative part if
above-mentioned are abnormal; if above are normal，please replace clock chip U17（ISL1208）.

3.6 Strip holder moves abnormally （Trouble-07）

If strip holder moves abnormally, the most possibly reason are like that: gear of strip holder is
rubdown, inner spindle is rusted and transmission shaft is rubdown. Replace relative part. Strip
holder, inner spindle and transmission shaft are shown in figure 3.5.

Figure 3.5
3.7 Strip holder doesn’t move.

Power supply is normal and motor wire socket J8 is well connected，main cause is that motor is

broken or motor control circuit is defective. Motor control circuit including U11（CPLD）and U13

（ULN2003Ad broken with high probability）,consult figure3.7 for chip position.

3.8 Buttons don’t work.

As Figure3.2，re-plug panel socket if button do not work, replace panel if above is invalid.

3.9 TROUBLE-01~06
Select “Menu” in the ready screen then select “System Setting” to get to the system setting
screen. Press “F3” for a few seconds till a “di…”sound is heard, then press “F1-F2-F3-F4” in
turn to get to adjustment mode. Select “Strip”-“LED” to set the values of parameters 720, 620,
550 (usually the value is set to be 3000), then press “OK”. If the setting is success, there will be a
prompt “OK” above the “Return” key. If the setting is fail, see table-4 to set.

TROUBLE-01 Reference LED Light is too strong. Reduce the value of parameter 720.
TROUBLE-02 Red LED Light is too strong. Reduce the value of parameter 620.
TROUBLE-03 Green LED Light is too strong. Reduce the value of parameter 550.
TROUBLE-04 Reference LED Light is too strong. Increase the value of parameter 720.
TROUBLE-05 Red LED Light is too weak. Increase the value of parameter 620.
TROUBLE-06 Green Light is too weak. Increase the value of parameter 550.

Instructions:
If “TROUBLE-?” is displayed when turn on the instrument, press any key on the panel till get to
the ready screen when turn on the instrument.
3.10 TROUBLE-07 (Strip placement is incorrect.)
The strip should be placed in the right position otherwise TROUBLE-07 will be displayed. The
strip should be put in the groove of strip holder, and put it in the end of groove.
CAUTION: When the strip holder moves abnormal, TROUBLE-07will also be displayed. See
3.6 for details.
3.11 TROUBLE-10 (The main board is broken.)
Check the main chips MCU, RAM (most likely to be broken) and CPLD on the main board as
shown in figure 3.6. Replace the relative chips if they are broken.

Figure 3.6

3.12 TROUBLE-12
Test the voltage of 3 pin in the sensor output connector as shown in figure 3.7. When the white
bar for location is just under the photo-sensor U1, namely the strip holder is back to the
initialization position, the voltage should be more than 1.5V. If the voltage is not in the range,
please check if the white bar for location is broken off or dirty. If the white bar for location is
normal, please replace the photo-sensor (U1).
7
CAUTION: U1 should be positioned in the left compare with the middle of strip holder. If the
position of U1 is in the middle, the strip sensor will detect the white contrast block and the strip
holder will not get to the initialization position.

Figure 3.7
CAUTION:
The way to get to the adjustment screen: From “Menu” screen get to “About” screen, then
press F3 for 3 seconds, and then press F1, F2 and F3 in turn.
