4.5 Display Interface PCB
First time program
Ensure that JP2 has a link fitted & JP1 has a link fitted between pins 1 & 2, prior to switch on.
Connect a serial cable (12600016) between J10 & a PC & run the Hitachi flash programming
utility to load the H8/3048 microcontroller.
Select connect from the command menu, select BOOT mode and then OK to load the boot
kernel.
Once the kernel has been downloaded select program for the command menu, the
LOAD386.A20 absolute opcode file will be loaded.
Switch off 8500 remove the link on JP2 & move the link on JP1 to between pins 2 & 3.
Switch on the 8500 and run the flash for front and back program, select the A20 absolute opcode
file, followed by open to download the file.
After the first time programming of the display interface board, ensure JP1 has a link between
pins 2 & 3 and JP2 has no link fitted.
Re-program
Connect the ventilator serial cable (12600015) between the calibration port connector on the
back panel of the 8500 & a PC.
Run the flash for front and back utility under windows on the PC; select the A20 absolute
opcode file, followed by open to download the file.
Enter the save menu on the 8500, select configuration, and enter the password PRAAA in the
set-up menu.
Select re-program
4.6 Main Pneumatic Regulator Calibration
Remove the plug from the side of the pneumatic block and connect a pressure gauge to this port.
Select adult mode.
Using a DVM check that JP4 is open.
Connect gas supply.
Adjust the supply pressure to 35 psi/37 PSI Max
JP4 should now be closed.
The pressure switch should be adjusted so that as the supply gas is reduced, to between 35 & 37
PSI, the switch opens (on JP4).
Check the switch is reset by the time the supply pressure is raised in excess of 2 PSI beyond the
stated alarm pressure.
Note: to run the Blease Medical Test I/O Diagnostics connect the ventilator serial cable between
the recorder output connector on the back panel of the 8500 & a PC. Run Hyper Terminal on the
PC using the stored 8500 HT settings file.
