probes that need sterilization, take special care to protect your hands against germs,
irrespective of the usage of the equipment: whether it is used in the operation room or not.
2) Service tools are subject to germ pollution in hospitals and, therefore, need periodical
sterilization.
3) Be careful not to directly touch anything assumable to have germ pollution. If necessary, ask
the customer for effective protection against germs.

2-1
MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 2 PRECAUTIONS

2-4 Precautions for Keeping Electrical Safety

1) Be sure to ground the equipment securely.

2) Perfectness in grounding, screw tightening, and cover installation is essential. Negligence of
it could cause a possibility of leakage current from outer fitting which may lead to serious
damage to a patient being diagnosed.

2-5 Precautions for Keeping Mechanical Safety

Take care to the following to prevent the equipment from being damaged or broken during
disassembly and reassembly work.

1) Be sure to observe the specified disassembly procedure.

2) Take care not to damage component parts by undue load.
3) When reassembling the equipment, carefully check every part for loosening, distortion and
creak.
4) Use only the specified screws and nuts. Using any other screws and/or nuts would affect not
only mechanical performance, but also electrical performance of the equipment.

2-2
 MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 2 PRECAUTIONS

2-8 Care to be Taken in the Field

1) Check for trouble symptoms.

2) Check for connection to optional devices and other peripheral devices.
3) Record the preset data to a floppy disk.
When record in a lump the internal data such as the preset data, patient data, image data and
others, record them to an MO disk.
4) After working, restore the equipment according to the above mentioned contents of memory
if necessary.
5) After completion of work, put back the peripheral devices to the original condition.

2-9 Precaution for Monitor repairing

1) Subjecting the unit to strong shocks may result in damage to the CRT or malfunction,
therefore care must be taken when transporting or installing the unit.

● DANGER ● High voltages are present inside the display chassis. Only experienced
technicians should touch internal parts.

● DANGER ● The electric charge has remained in CRT after the power switch is turned off.
Because the high voltage is usually used for CRT. So make the electric
charge escape with a grounding stick which is connected to the ground of the
chassis and through the resistance for high voltage (Approx. 1MΩ) before
removing the anode cap.
Some electric charge remains in CRT after escaping with a grounding stick.
Do not touch the metallic part of anode cap with bare hands, when detaching
the anode cap directly.

2) CRT with the deflecting yoke is already adjusted to the best condition. Do not touch the
deflecting yoke and the magnet of the neck part.
3) Be sure to detach the metallic goods such as a wrist watch from your body before doing the
repair work.

To prevent the secondary damage and the electrical shock, the matters above should be taken
into careful consideration.

SECTION 2 PRECAUTIONS

2-10 Handling of S.M.D. PCBs

It is an Aloka's policy that neither repair nor modification of PCBs used for S.M.D. is made in
the field as a rule because of the following reasons:

[REMARKS] PCB does not need repairing or modifying in the field as a rule.

When handling a PCB, do not touch the IC unless it is necessary.

IC soiled with worker’s hands may cause corrosion. Additionally, foreign particles such as fine
solder dust could be the cause of short-circuited IC lead wires whose pitch is smaller than that of
the traditional ones.

● CAUTION ● When handling a PCB, avoid touching the IC and connector pins on the
devices to prevent ESD (Electro Static Discharge) damage.
A service person should preferably wear an ESD wrist strap correctly
grounded when handling a PCB.

Do not give excessively large shocks to the PCB.

When replacing the ROM (Read Only Memory) on the PCB, attempting to force the ROM into
its socket would cause the PCB to be subjected to an undue force, and the following faults may :

1) Damage to PCB intermediate-layer patterns,

2) Peeling of chip devices (resistor, capacitor, diode, etc.)
3) Damage to a junction between electrode and internal element of chip devices,
4) Peeling of patterns (especially those for mounting the parts) together with chip devices since
those patterns are rather fragile compared with PCBs used before now, and
5) Damage to parts on the reverse side in the case of PCBs of both-side mounting type.

Also, a PCB mounted improperly or a warped PCB mounted as it is may cause the chip devices
to come off and the fine patterns to be cut.
Additionally, reuse of chip devices (including resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc.) is strictly
inhibited because of the following reason: Since the chip devices are lacking in lead wires, such
as those found in the traditional component parts, heat given to the PCB will be directly
conducted to the inside of chip devices. As a result, a thermal stress will occur due to a
difference in thermal expansion coefficient between each chip device and PCB, giving rise of the
possibility of cracks inside of or on the surface of chip devices or the possibility of thermal
breaking (internal burning).

2-4
 MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 2 PRECAUTIONS

Very thin wiring patterns require extreme care in handling of the PCB
Be sure to observe the precautions mentioned above also to prevent the secondary accidents.

SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

4-4 Principal of System Operation

4-4-1 Control of System

CPU
The CPU controls entire operation of this system that is a generic PC and it also controls HDD
and FDD.
The HDD contains:
The programs of this PC.
The programs for other peripheral processors.
(That is transferred to the flash memories of each PCB when the certain command is invoked)

The focus data of each probe that is for Tx and Rx circuitry.

The parameter data for scan converter unit that contains the data of each probe.
The PRESET data.
The CPU also transfers the data that is for specific probe to Tx/Rx and/or DIU units from the
HDD in accordance with a necessity while the system is running.
By utilizing the floppy disk drive, the system reads the up-grading data into HDD, makes a
backup of the preset data and maintenance backup.

Main Panel: L-KEY-81

Main Panel reads the information of operation that is made on switches, encoders and keyboard
into the system.. It communicates with the CPU by means of serial (RS-232C) and PS/2 methods.

Peripheral MPU
There are micro processors other than the CPU mentioned above, on the CMB PCB and the Tx &
Rx Control PCB.
The program for those MPU is also stored in the flash memory on each CMB and Tx& Rx
Control PCB and it will be restored by the CPU when the system is up-graded.

Address / Data bus

In order to control the system, there are address/data buses as below.
PCI BUS: It connects the CPU PCB and the DIU unit that is used exclusively for it. The
CPU transfers the data from HDD to DIU and Tx/Rx units. (The CPU can access
to all registers that are on the Local bus/USC bus/Front End bus via PCI bus)
Local BUS: This is the address/data bus in the Digital Imaging unit.
USC BUS: Ultrasound Control BUS. This is the address/data bus in the Tx/Rx unit.
Front End Bus: This is the address/data bus in the Front End part of the Tx/Rx unit.

4-15
MN2-2006 Rev.0

SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

There are bus bridges between PCI BUS and LOCAL BUS, LOCAL BUS.and USC BUS. It is
open when the CPU accesses to USC bus and/or Front End bus but closed for other time in order
to avoid the noise from control part leaking into the Tx/Rx unit.

Probe data
Focus data for transmission:
The transmission focus data consists of amount of delays for each probe that is stored in the HDD
as special files and it is transferred to the flash ROM on the Trig. ITF PCB. The system compares
the revision of data that is stored in the HDD and the flash ROM when it starts up and reload it to
the flash ROM if the system find a discrepancy between them (After up-grading, for example).
Thus, once the system transferred the data to the flash ROM, it normally uses the data from the
flash ROM and the data transfer from the HDD doesn’t take place when you change the setting on
the operation panel (Change the display mode and/or preset, for example).

Focus data for reception:

The source data of reception focus and the parameter data for each probe is stored on the HDD.
** However, calculated focus data is not stored on the HDD

Normally, the system calculates the focus data from the source and then transfers it to the DBF
(Rx Beam former). The capacity of the memory on the DBF is not large enough to store complete
data of one probe, so the system transfers only the necessary data in accordance with the display
mode, magnification and focus points. The image responds immediately if the focus data is
already in the DBF when you operate the panel but if there isn’t, the response will be delayed
about 1 ~ 2 seconds.
When you connect a new probe at the first time, it would take maximum 5 seconds or so, for
calculating and transferring the focus data.

4-4-2 Transmission and Reception block

Tx/Rx part consists of

Tx/Rx module,
Digital Beam Former module, and
Flow/Doppler module.

Tx Rx module：
This module transmits the ultrasound for electronic probes based on the control signals from Trig.
ITF and the transmission trigger signals (Delayed Triggers).
Front End PCB has two connectors for electronic probes (Electronic Linear / Convex / Phased
Array) and HVS (High Voltage Switch) circuitry for selecting the channel of crystals that are driven
simultaneously from the crystal array in the case of linear and/or convex probe. HVS circuitry is
controlled by Trig. ITF PCB.
The reception signal is amplified by PRE AMP and passed to Rx Beam Former via Channel
Reduction (C-R) circuitry and TGC amplifier. C-R is controlled by Trig. ITF PCB.

Digital Beam Former：

The reception signal (analog) passed from Variable Gain AMP is converted to digital signal. Then
the signal for each channel is delayed in accordance with the Rx focus data and added into an
ultrasound beam.
◇The delay is processed digitally as a readout from FIFO memory is delayed by processing
clock etc., that makes it possible to have accurate delays continuously. (Dynamic reception
focusing)
It also has the functionality that it adjusts the weighting of each reception signal
continuously that makes the Rx beam sharper.
◇Since it is digital signal, it can be processed in parallel by time sharing and then it realizes
higher frame rate.
◇It implements Rx Beam former PCB with 16 ch circuitry as the Delay & Adder.
◇This system does not have the trouble that shows brightness difference in every 1cm depth
caused by one of the Rx focus boards (Delay and Adder circuit), like SSD-650, 1200, and
2000 etc.

Depth
For B/W US image, delayed and added Rx data passes through Pre process circuit (It is the same
as Main Amp in conventional machine), where it selects the frequency that applies to the processing
in accordance with the depth, applies LOG compression, Detector, AGC, FTC and CONTRAST etc.
(There are two identical circuitry for B/W parallel processing.)
Then B/W data is transferred to DIU (Digital Imaging Unit) an US line by line via USD BUS
(Ultrasonic Line Data Bus).
The delayed and added Rx data is also transferred to Flow/Doppler module for the frequency
analysis of PW Doppler and the Color Flow calculation.
Tx & Rx part also has the following circuitry.
Tx Trigger generator for the electronic probes.
The generator of control signal for Rx signal, such as Pre STC and STC signal.
Timing/Control signal generator for Tx/Rx unit.

Flow/Doppler module：
Flow/Doppler module executes the frequency analysis for PW Doppler and Color Flow calculation.

For PW Doppler, the Rx signal from Rx Beam Former goes through Quadrature detector and FFT
frequency analysis and then transferred to DIU via USD Bus.
For Color Flow calculation, the Rx signal from Rx Beam Former is processed as the same manner
as PW Doppler that it goes through Quadrature detector and then the Rx (line) signals are stored into
Memory Block (Number of the lines depend on the Color Average setting). The data that is read out
from Memory block passes through the filter, which cuts out the wall motion and then the unit
extracts the velocity information that is processed by auto-correlating the data with the one from the
same depth of previous Rx line, and the intensity information of the Doppler that is processed by
auto-correlating the same signals, then it calculates the Velocity, Variance, and Power data from those
extracted information. The calculated data goes through the clutter rejection and the spatial filter
circuitry, then transferred to DIU via USD Bus (Which is assigned for color data).

Pre Process Part

B/W and Color (Velocity/Power, Variance) data from Tx/Rx unit are received by Scan Converter
for B/W and Scan Converter for Color Flow (Both are on CMB board), then the following Pre
processes are executed.
Pre-process for Plane mode (B mode)
B/W data: Line correlation and Frame correlation.
Velocity/Power data: Frame correlation.
Pre-process for Line mode (M mode/Physio signal, DOP mode)
B/W data: Addition of Physio. signal, curtailment of the Lines and M Smooth.
Velocity/Variance: Delay of M mode, curtailment of the Lines and M Smooth.
The details of each process are as follows.
Line correlation: The previous and next US lines are correlated at the same depth of pixel. It
makes the image laterally smooth and reduces noise.
Frame correlation: The previous and next US frames are correlated at the same position of
pixel. It makes the image smooth in the time direction and reduces noise.
Physio signals addition: In B/W Line mode, the Header (The beginning 8 pixels of US line) is
used for the storage of physiological signals. Stored physiological signal is
read out in the same timing as US data and converted to TV signal.
Curtailment of lines: Curtail the number of lines in accordance with the sweep speed.
Finally, the header is added to the US data and transferred to the Mass Memory part.
Header: In B/W Line-mode and PEU-3500 installed, the beginning 8 pixels of data
is used for Physio signals.

Mass Memory has the capacity of 65536 records (lines) for B/W, Velocity, and Variance
respectively. And it is used for real-time display and SEARCH/REVIEW function of Cine memory.
Further, there is the frame interpolation process (Frame Accelerator) for Velocity, which makes the
changing of flow information in motion smooth at real-time display.

4-5-3 Rx Beam Former

RX Beam Former is Digital Beam Former with 16 channels/board. By cascade connection of several
boards, it configures the Digital Beam Former that supports various numbers of channels. Also by
setting different delay to every transmission beam by timesharing, it can receive multi-directional
beams simultaneously.
This PCB consists of the 16 channel phased adder and the Controller that controls the adder. Echo
Data of each channel is added sequentially by the pipeline adder with daisy chain configuration and
sent to the next board.

Block 0∼3, ch 0∼15:

A.A Filter: A.A Filter is to clear the aliasing caused by the A/D sampling.
A/D: A/D is the 12 bit AD converter. Sampling clock varies depend on the center
frequency of transmission. (When the center frequency of transmission (f0) is
2.1 – 3.75MHz, the sampling clock is 8f0 and when it’s 5.0 – 10 MHz, the
sampling clock is 4f0.)
Delay & Adder: It is ASIC and its internal configuration is as shown below. By the digital delay
circuitry, it can vary the delay time for the reception focus continuously.

Digital Filter:
Digital Filter consists of the Low Pass Filter (Band-limit the data after over-
sampling at 8f0 to drop the data rate to 4f0) and Band Pass Filter (Cut DC
component).
SFIFO (Short FIFO Memory):
SFIFO is FIFO memory that compensates the delay in the depth direction. By
delaying the readout, it can delay by n times of sample clock. It outputs 4
sequential data simultaneously to the interpolation circuitry by shift-register.

 MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

Interpolation:
It uses sequential 4 proximate data from SFIFO memory to obtain the data that
matched with the delay. By this process, it is able to give finer delay with the
resolution of 1/32 of sample clock.

Adder1:
Adder1 adds the interpolated data to the next channel and sends it to LFIFO.
LFIFO (Long FIFO Memory):
LFIFO is a FIFO memory to compensate the larger delay between channels.
Gain:
It is the time variable gain control for Reception Apodization. (Reception
Apodization makes the reception beam sharper so that it improves the lateral
resolution)
Adder2:
Adder2 adds the adjoining channels and sends it to Pipeline Adder.
Pipeline Adder:
Pipeline Adder adds the channel data sequentially by adding the adjoining
channel and sending out the processed data to the next channel.
Control Circuit:
Phased addition by DBF requires large amount of focus data. Focus data is divided into the
static focus data (Data that depends on probe and scan mode) and the dynamic focus data (Data
that has to be set beam by beam). Static focus data is set directly to the hardware register by the

SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

4-5-11 Distributor

This is distribution circuitry for external I/O signal and Audio signal.
1) DAC
It performs D/A conversion on the serial data of Doppler sound (digital) from SDP to Left
and Right respectively.
2) LPF (Switched Capacitor Filter)
This is Low Pass Filter to cut the harmonic from the stair wave after D/A conversion. It uses
Switched Capacitor Filter (SCF) since it has to change the precipitous cutoff frequency in
accordance with D/A’s quantization frequency.
3) LPF 1
This is Low Pass Filter (cutoff frequency: 18KHz) to prevent the switching noise from SCF.
4) LPF 2
When Doppler PRF is low (500Hz and 1kHz), the frequency of switching noise is also low
due to the low switching frequency of SCF, therefore, it uses LPF2 with lower cutoff
frequency than LPF1 to prevent the noise.
5) Selector
It selects the output from LPF 1 or LPF 2.
6) Sel
This is Selector to switch the BEEP sound (ECG BEEP SOUND) that indicates the ECG R
wave from PSC, used/unused. When it is unused, it is set to OFF by ABSENT signal in
order to prevent unnecessary noise.
7) Adder
It mixes ECG BEEP SOUND and Doppler sound (Left and Right). Mixed sound is output to
Audio-out connector for VTR as well as for the loudspeaker of the machine.
8) Limit
This is the input limiter for Audio signal from VTR.
9) Selector
It switches the internal Doppler sound (Sound data from SDP) or the sound from external
input (VTR).
10) Buffer
It is a buffer for Audio signal that outputs the sound to external devices.
11) STEREO VOLUME/TONE CONTROL
It controls the volume of Audio signal.
12) MIXER
It converts the stereo signal to mono signal.
13) Audio Power Amp.
This is amplifier for the loudspeaker of the machine.

4-5-12 PSC (PCB for Physio signal display unit PEU-3500)

PSC’s (Physio signal Scan Converter) main function is the A/D conversion of physio signal (3
channels: ECG, PCG and PULSE) and the conversion of physio signal into TV signal.

○ Reference ○ Reference ○SSD-3500 uses ECG signal but not PCG or PULSE.
Therefore, SSD-3500 does not use the part related to PCG and PULSE.

1) Sample Rate Generator

It generates Sampling Rate that provides the base for Sweep Speed. It divides TV’s
horizontal synchronized signal (TV H timing) into 1/17 and provides them to where it is
necessary.
2) ECG_LPF (100Hz, -12dB/oct)
It is a Nyquist filter that adapts the characteristic of ECG signal.
3) PCG_LPF (1KHz, -12dB/oct)
It is a Nyquist filter that adapts the characteristic of PCG signal.
4) HPF L, HPF M1, HPF M2
It is a High Pass Filter for PCG. It switches by Preset application. (HPF L: 50Hz, 6dB/oct,
HPF M1: 50Hz, 12dB/oct, HPF M2: 150Hz, 24dB/oct)
5) Sel, Filter PCG
It selects PCG filter depending on the register configuration (Filter PCG).
6) Emphasis
It is a High Pass Filter for emphasizing the higher component of the PCG signal.
7) PULSE_LPF (100Hz, -12dB)
It is a Nyquist filter that adapts the characteristic of PULSE signal.
8) MPX
It selects the physio signal for A/D conversion.
9) ATT, SENS
It is Attenuator for Sensitivity adjustment of physio signal. The “SENS” in the figure has
register for 3 channels (ECG, PCG and PLUSE).
10) AD Converter
It is ADC10bit and uses upper 9bit.
11) Position, POS
It adds the value that corresponding to the display position, to the AD Converter output and
puts limit. The “POS” in the figure is the register that the value corresponding to the display
position is set.

 MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

12) DEMUX
It separates the time-shared physio signal data into ECG, PCG and PULSE. PCG signal has
higher frequency band compare to the Sweep speed so that it re-samples it to MAX value (P
MAX) and MIN value (P MIN).
13) Encode
It outputs physio signal data to BSC. Physio signal is packed to the Record Header in Line
(M, Doppler) Mode. (Header 8-pixel of BW Record is reserved for physio signal.) The
record that packed with physio signal is stored to Mass Memory together with physio signal,
therefore, the time phase of the physio signal and M (Or Doppler) image is matched after
being read out from Mass Memory.
14) VA Count
It generates the Vertical address depending on the display frame timing (DISP V FRAME)
in the vertical direction. By using the current Vertical Address (NOW VA) and the previous
Vertical Address (Prev VA), it outputs smooth physio signals waveform even when it
displays with reduced amplitude (for B/M vertical display, etc).
15) MM In, Decode
In Line Mode, it extracts physio signal from US DATA that is read from MM BW, and
separates it to ECG, PCG (PMAX, PMIN), and PULSE.
There is delay buffer that can delay physio signal up to approx. 1sec to compensate the
delay in Doppler image.
16) Sel x 4
It selects physio signal in Line Mode (*** on L) or physio signal in Plane Mode (*** on P).
17) Memory
It is Memory for physio signal to display it on the monitor. (When STORE a B image with
physio signal is displayed, the physio signal is saved on Memory Area of hard disk.)
18) -16, +16 (ECG -16, ECG +16)
It generates the base signal base for ECG Sync mark. ECG sync mark is displayed with
amplitude of +/- 16 line (16 TV line).
19) HA Generator
It generates Horizontal Address based on the display frame timing (DISP H FRAME) that is
for reading physio signal from Memory in Horizontal direction. Due to Scroll display, it
refers to the current Horizontal write address to generate the read Address.
20) Write Address Generator
It generates the Horizontal Address for writing the physio signal into the Memory.
(Vertical Address is corresponding to the amplitude of physio signal.)

4-69
MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

21) CMP x 6
It displays physio signal on screen when output from Memory and current Vertical Address
(and previous Vertical Address) have the same value. This is a comparator to compare these
values.
22) ECG Video Generator
It interpolates ECG signal.
23) ECG Marker Generator
It generates ECG sync mark.
24) PCG Video Generator (Unused for SSD-3500)
It draws a line between PCG MAX and MIN value.
25) PLS Video Generator (PWR OUT PLS), (Unused for SSD-3500)
It interpolates PULSE signal.
26) Heart Mark Generator
It displays the heart mark (♥) for 3TV fields when an R wave of ECG is coming. The LED
on the PCB also lights as it is displayed.
It also sends the signal of R wave detection to “Mass Memory Manager” and “Digital Beam
Former”.
27) FM Sound Generator, LPF
It generates BEEP sound from ECG R wave (By means of FM sound source). Generated
BEEP sound is sent to Audio PCB, and finally comes out from the loudspeaker.

SECTION 6 Trouble shooting

6-1 Introduction

This trouble shooting makes integral part of the Service Manual. And it has been prepared for
the persistent purpose of providing for repairing guidelines.
What has been described herein, moreover, is subject to the prerequisite for a repair to be made
by replacing a PCB.

6-2 Precautions

To prevent a new problem (secondary disaster) from taking place in the process of trouble
shooting as described herein, every engineer concerned should duly take the following
precautions:
1) Never remove any part from the electric system, including PCB, probe, cable, etc., before
powering off the equipment.

2) Do not proceed to a disassembly of equipment without observing the established

disassembly procedure. Be careful enough for wrongly disassembling the equipment would
damage or break it down.

3) To make certain of a voltage and/or a signal waveform, it is necessary to thoroughly know

the specification and handling procedure relating to a measuring instrument employed.

4) To ground a measuring instrument probe or the like, it is naturally necessary to know where
a signal to determine is grounded. Before using the instrument, moreover, make certain for
which the grounding terminal is intended, analog, digital, alternating current, direct current,
high voltage or low voltage.

● CAUTION ● Failure to ground properly might result in an incapability of observing an

accurate voltage or waveform or in a probability of burning out the
measuring instrument or ultrasound diagnostic equipment or both.

5) Do not fit a measuring instrument probe or the like to a measuring point before turning off
the ultrasound diagnostic equipment.

● CAUTION ● To determine an especially high voltage, it might rupture a circuit in

the ultrasound diagnostic equipment. Besides, it might endanger an
engineer or engineers concerned.

6-1
MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 6 Trouble shooting

6) To replace or repair a PCB, make certain of its compatibility, etc, in accordance with the
"History of SSD-xxxx".
If a wrong ROM should be mounted on a PCB, employ the ROM originally employed in the
user's equipment or select an appropriate one in accordance with the History.

● CAUTION ● If an incompatible PCB should be inserted into the equipment, there are
possibilities that the equipment may be burnt out. If such incompatible
PCB should remain inserted in the equipment after completion of a repair,
moreover, it should be fully noted that another problem might take place
newly.

7) Without definitively knowing that failure has taken place, do not unnecessarily change any
controls and/or switches on a PCB from their original settings.
To determine whether or not a problem is the failure, see Section 8 "Performance Check."
If a readjustment is required, see Section 7"Adjustment Procedure."

● CAUTION ● An unnecessary change of controls' or switches' settings might bring

about a new problem, probably making the equipment unrepairable.

8) While you are shooting trouble in accordance with the present procedure, it may be
necessary to consult with Technical Support. In such a case, provide at least the following
information:

i) Equipment model number,

ii) Equipment serial number,
iii) History of equipment (repairs and/or modifications so far made), and
software version, and
iv) Specific problem situations (Send a photo or photos.)

6-4-5 Resetting the Backup data

A backup feature is available to normally store the user's settings. In normal use, it will not be
necessary to erase all the information so stored. It is necessary, however, to reset the backup
memory with reference to the item 6-4-7 given below in any of the following events:

● IMPORTANT ● Resetting the backup data will erase the all user preset installed by floppy
disk.
Please prepar all of the installed floppy disk for user preset beforhand when
reset the backup data.

● CAUTION ● Resetting the backup data will erase all presettings and hospital name.
To set them all over again after resetting the backup data, it is necessary to
store the preset data according to “Backup the preset data” described in 6-4-6.

1) When the software has been altered for an upgrade or for any other reason,
2) When an unnecessary (abnormal) character or characters or code or codes is displayed in the
data which have been set by the user.
3) When the system fails to start up even if the equipment is powered on.

Under such a circumstance, resetting the backup memory is a mere provisional action
consistently. To make a substantial repair, refer to 6-4-10 and 11. In such a situation,
moreover, it is impossible to store the set information, such as presettings, etc.

● CAUTION ● NEVER reinstall the backup data saved in the state of item 2) or 3) above. In
case such data is reinstalled by mistake, not only the problem may recur but
also the system may fail to be started.

○ REFERENCE ○ This equipment is not equipped with backup RAM which was
installed in our previous equipment.

SECTION 6 Trouble shooting

6-4-6 Backup the preset data

On the SSD-3500, all the preset data including the measuring function (obstetrical table) can be
backed up and reinstalled.
There are the following two methods of backing up such data: saving the data from the preset
control available for the user and saving it from the maintenance menu for use by the service
personnel only.

The backup data is saved on the floppy disk through the floppy disk drive installed in the
equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a formatted floppy disk.
The capacity of backup data from the maintenance menu becomes big, because this function
saves all internal data in one lump package. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a formatted MO
disk and MO disk drive. A floppy disk and an MO disk should be prepared by each of you when
necessary.

○ REFERENCE ○ The floppy disk is the 3.5-inch, 2HD and 1.44MB DOS-formatted disk. The MO
disk is 3.5-inch, DOS-formatted disk. The equipment itself has no formatting
function.

● CAUTION ● When backup the preset data

When it is suspected that the backup data is damaged due to a failure, etc., or
unnecessary data is contained in the backup data, do not back up the preset data.
If you reinstall such data by mistake, the failure may recur or a new failure may
be caused.

● CAUTION ● During backup the preset data

While the LED lamp of the floppy disk drive or MO disk drive is on, NEVER
push the eject button to remove the floppy disk or MO disk. The floppy/MO
disk drive and floppy/MO disk may be damaged.

1) About saving the data from the preset control (Copy of Preset/Library)
Necessary items only can also be backed up for each preset or each library. (Hospital names
cannot be backed up.)
For details of the operational procedures, refer to the operator’s manual.

6-4-10 How to handle start-up failure and/or locking up

If the machine fails to start up or crashes even after it started, “Checklist Map” (Chapter 6-5)
would not be applicable. In that case, follow the instruction below for repair.

1) Checking the power supply output

First of all, check the output voltage of the power supply unit.
This system has a CPU that controls the entire system and three other CPU that are
controlling peripheral circuitry. If the power supply unit didn’t provide +3.3V, +5V and/or
+12V to these CPU or HDD, or something wrong with the power supply unit, would cause a
trouble that affect entire system.
However, a trouble could occur even the power supply unit is OK because of possible
broken wire or the faulty power regulator/distributor circuitry at peripheral PCB.
CPU are mounted on the PCB below.
EU-9090** CPU (USM-27)
EP4810** Tx Rx Control (USM-27)
I/F Interface (L-KEY-81)
EP4769** CMB (USM-27)

2) Trouble caused by flash memory

The PCB listed below have flash memory and they would cause trouble, start up failure for
example, if the data that is stored in the flash memory corrupted.

− EP4761** SDP
− EP4810** Tx Rx Control
− EP4769** CMB

3) Trouble caused by backed up data

back-up data is stored on the HDD and if it corrupted, it would cause trouble like start up
failure.
In that case, reset the back-up data referring the chapter 6-4-8, “How to reset the back-up
data” and then, check the operation of the machine.

4) Trouble related to data buses

It is quite difficult to find a cause of trouble if the signal on data bus would have problem.
If the system didn’t start up or crashed during an operation, refer the following description
to proceed the repair work. However, it is recommended that you should contact with the
Technical Support at earlier stage.

6-5-4 PCB Check Procedure

This PCB Check Procedure is categorized by each “CHECK CODE”. Before using this procedure,
please find appropriate “CHECK CODE” that corresponds to the phenomenon you encountered
from “Failure List”. It describes the way of checking for each “CHECK COD” in the “MAP”.
Please note the checking that described here is based on the assumption that the machine is
malfunctioning due to the single failure.

How to use “PCB Check Procedure”:

1) Refer to the description of each CHECK CODE.
2) Implement “Check Procedure” that corresponds to the failure on the machine.
3) Carry out the procedure referring to the waveform chart or the Adjustment Method.
4) Carry out the instruction or Check Procedure as guided in accordance with the indication of
“Failure” or “Not Failure”

[Example]
“C8”: Carry out “Check Procedure” guided in CHECK CODE “C8”.
“6)-1”: Carry out “Check Procedure” guided in “6)-1” of the same CHECK CODE
as above.
“Replace PCB”: The PCB you checked can be faulty. So replace it.

5) Other possible causes

There might be another cause of the malfunction even if it is determined that the PCB or Unit
is faulty with this procedure. Therefore, it is better to check carefully whether other
phenomenon is observed or not.

SECTION 6 Troubleshooting

A1 Handling of Device
It is important to know how to handle the device and its functions.
Check if the trouble is caused by miss handling or the nature of the machine by means of referring
“SECTION8 Performance Check”. However, if it is difficult to judge, contact our Technical
Support.

● Caution ● Do not change Variable Resiter or switch setting inside the machine unless it is
absolutely necessary, otherwise it might make the trouble worse.

○ Reference ○ Handling and function may differ depending on the software of the sytem or its
level. Refer to “History of Improvement” or “ALOKA Technical Bulletin” that is
issued separately.

Refer to SECTION 3, “3-3 Message” in SSD-3500 Service Manual volume 1/2 for the messages
that displayed on the monitor.

6-55
MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 6 Troubleshooting

A2 Interference Noise
In the case of sudden appearance of noise and it is suspected that would be coming from outside of
the machine, try to change the setup location of the machine and/or change the line of the mains.
Refer to following points when you inspect the environment for the machine:

1) Is there any equipment such as X-ray apparatus that would induce power fluctuation or noise
around the area?
2) Is there any device such as computer nearby that would cause the noise?
3) Is there any broadcasting facility such as radio station nearby?
4) Is there any elevated cable that provides high voltage electricity nearby?
5) Does it affect the noise level when you turn off the light or take the probe to the device?
6) Would the optional devices such as VTR and/or physio unit be causing the noise?
7) Does it improve if you replace the grounding wire with the thicker and shorter one? In this
case, you need to make sure that the grounding of the building is correctly set.
8) Check the mains of the building whether the voltage is stable or has noise in it or not.

The countermeasure is different between the noise caused inside of the machine and it is from
outside. If you don’t have sufficient knowledge about noise problem, contact Technical Support
after checking the following points:

1) Does the noise occur in particular operation, mode or probe, during the normal use?
2) Please check the voltage of power supply unit such as ＋3.3V, ±5V, ±12V and ±15V and
ripple.
3) Does the noise increase/decrease when you hold the probe?
4) Does the noise increase/decrease when you change the direction of the probe?
5) In which direction does the noise (Or line) move on the US image (Or on entire screen)? Is it
regular movement or irregular movement?

A4 Probe/Scanner
This system can connect electric probe. Therefore, it is important to check if the probe causes the
failure or not first.

Electronic Probe
1) Check with other probe/device:
Check the machine with another probe that is the same model of faulty one if it is available.
Also, if you have the same system available, check the probe that is causing the failure with
this machine whether the same trouble occurs or not.
2) Coin Check (For electric Linear and Convex probe)
Set the machine in B Mode and put a thin metal pin such as lead wire of a resister on the
surface of the probe and move it slowly from one end to the other, and observe the ultrasound
image on TV monitor. If you find any of the description below during this procedure, the
probe would be faulty.
● There is one echo gap.
If the probe is OK, there is a failure in between HVS (High Voltage Switch) circuitry, the
probe selector and probe. It also might be a contact failure on the probe connector.
･････････････････････････････････････････････ C1

● There are several echo gaps at regular interval.

If the probe is OK, it is a failure related to the Tx/Rx signal.
･････････････････････････････････････････････ C1/C2/C4/C5/C6

● The same echo appears more than two at the same time.
It is a failure related to the signal lines that correspond to the probe transducers one-on-one, or
a failure in HVS circuit.
･････････････････････････････････････････････ C2/C4/C5

● Echo is missing in certain area.

If the probe is OK, it is a failure in Beam Former, HVS Control Circuit, or somewhere
between the probe selector and the probe.
･････････････････････････････････････････････ C2/C4/C5/C7

Probe Code
“Probe Code” is assigned individually for every probe to let the system recognize the type of probe.
“Probe Code” is also used to determine if it is connectable or not and to read the data unique to the
probe saved in the parameter memory. Probe Code is set depending on the pin arrangement in the
probe connector.
If there is any pin bent or broken, it is not only failed to recognize Probe Code but it might be

6-59

SECTION 6 Troubleshooting

recognized as different Probe Code. As a consequence, the machine proceeds to setup the system
incorrectly and it makes the system in a dangerous situation. Make sure that there is no pin bent or
broken on the probe connector.

● Caution ● There is a risk of damaging the connector on the machine if you repeat
connecting/removing the probe with pin(s) bent or broken. There was a case that
the damaged connector at a machine caused another probe damaged. Therefore,
pay attention to the pins of probe connector in order to find a trouble in earlier
stage.

There would be similar failure occurs if there is a problem in the communication channel of the
Probe Code.

A5 Monitor IPC-1550
First of all, check the brightness and the contrast of the monitor if it’s properly set or not. Then
check the power supply voltage referring to chapter A3.
○ Info ○ The setting of contrast and brightness affects the impression of the US image greatly.
You would solve complaints of “lack of sensitivity” or “bad resolution” kinds, by
means of re-adjusting these settings properly. Also, if these settings are too high, the
characters and the graphics display would seem flickering.

Cautions for repairing TV monitor

It is not applicable to repair IPC-1550 by means of replacing PCB but to replace the assembly. So
replace the assembly when you judged that a monitor is broken.
It would be a cause of damage on CRT or other trouble if you apply too much shock or vibration on
TV monitor. Be careful when you install/disassemble a monitor.

● Caution ● There are some parts that high voltage is applied inside. Do not touch it unless you
have some experience.

● Caution ● The high voltage is applied to CRT and there is electric charge remained even after
turning off the power. In order to avoid getting electric shock, discharge it sufficiently
by means of using a ground stick that has a high resistance of about 1MΩ connected
to the frame ground at the other end, especially, when you need take off the Anode
Cap for example.
Do not touch the metal part with bare hand because there could the electric charge still
remain in some cases even after discharge.

1) Make sure to take off the metallic objects such as a watch before you start working.
2) Keep the above cautions to protect the safety of worker and prevent the secondary accident.
3) Setup location should be somewhere airy as much as possible, and avoid blocking off the
ventilating hole or placing the device close to the object that generates heat.
4) Do not place the machine that would expose direct sunshine or too bright place. It might cause
the temperature increase or bothering the view of the screen.
5) Do not use the monitor close to the objects with emitting magnetic force like transformer,
motor, or power lines. They might cause mottled color or wobbling screen.

MN2-2006 Rev.0
SECTION 6 Troubleshooting

6) Handle with care during transportation and installation. Strong impact or vibration might
damage CRT or cause troubles.
7) Make sure to turn off the power and then pulling out the power cable before replacing the fuse.

● Caution ● Make sure to use the fuse with the same rate when you replace it.

8) Be careful not to repeat ON-OFF of Power Switch of the monitor unnecessarily. It might
cause “spot” or malfunctions of the monitor.

8-4-2 Image Quality Check

In order to check quality of the ultrasonic image, please implement following Performance Check
by using tools such as Test Piece.

1) Image Quality

● Overall Image Quality

Condition: B MODE, GAIN (optional), STC Center, CONTRAST 4
Correct image should be displayed for the abdominal check. Image should be without
irregularity, noise or unnecessary insertion.
Please check all probes in use.
● COIN CHECK
Check the focus switching (F1 ↔ F8) works correctly:

Condition: B MODE, DEPTH/RANGE 17 cm

Switch FOCUS to F1 and F8, and check. Apply jelly lightly on the probe transducer
surface, and place thin metal bar at perpendicular position in the direction of probe
length, then move the metal bar slowly on the probe surface. Do this once with only
FOCUS F1 ON, and once with only FOCUS F8 ON.

Check if there is any missing echo or it is displayed at more than 2 places.

Also check the variable opening works correctly.
Check it with all probe connectors.

Check follows using Test Phantom RMI-403 or equivalent in B MODE.

♦ Reflection echo of the 7th thread should be visible.

♦ Actual echo should be visible longer than 11cm .

● Resolution
MODE: B
Use Test Target ASU-32-KG1 by ALOKA or equivalent, and measure the
recognizable minimum distance under water by visible observation. Adjust the distance
to probe in order to get the maximum solution to achieve following precisions:
♦ Lateral Resolution: 3 mm or less
♦ Axial Resolution: 2 mm or less

● Display Precision
Use Test Target ASU-32-KG1 or equivalent, and measure the echo with 60mm interval
under water (40°C +/- 5°C) by using Caliper distance measuring equipment to find the
difference in the display precision. It should be within +/- 5%.
