SCHILLER AT-2plus 6-Channel ECG Unit
SERVICE HANDBOOK Issue d May 2002

General Check Procedures

The procedure detailed here is a general confidence check of the unit after an internal module or
board has been replaced. It is not a full functional test (which can only be carried out with dedicated
equipment in the factory) but is intended to provide a general confidence check in all the major
AT-2plus functional areas. The instructions given here are guides to the basic functions. If more
operating information is required (general settings, comprehensive menu guides etc.) please refer
to Chapter 1 in this publication or the relevant User Manual for the software version applicable.

Test Procedure

Result

Corrective action if result not OK

Connect unit to mains supply.

Mains indicator (LED) is lit.

Check mains fuse on the back panel and

replace if necessary.
If problem remains, replace main board MK

14-10.

Switch the unit on by pressing the
ON key on the keyboard.

If no ECG simulator is connected, a short

audible alarm is generated and the lead

indications in the display are flashing..

LCD screen comes on and shows three
ECG traces and a number of status
indications.

ECG traces are barely visible

No traces visible on the LCD screen.

Ignore or connect ECG simulator

Check power board, ECG and main board.

Open the unit and check that the two wire
connection from the power supply to the

LCD assembly is properly connected (high-
voltage backlight). If problem remains,
replace LCD assembly.

Check that the signal cable from the main

board to the LCD assembly is properly

connected. If problem remains, check LCD
assembly, power, ECG and main board.

Connect an ECG simulator to the

ECG connector on the side panel

and switch ON.

Three ECG traces, heart rate, sensitivity,
time scale and status of lead connections

are shown on the screen.

If a lead alarm is flashing, check that the lead
is properly connected

Press the MAN Start key.

Six leads are printed and are of good
quality.

If not, reset to default settings and try again.

Open the case and inspect all cable
assemblies and connectors.
Check printer alignment. Run printer test (see

next page).

Check / replace printer motor.

Replace main board MK 14-10.
Replace paper tray and complete printer

assembly.

Press AUTO START and wait

approximately 10 seconds for the

printout to commence.

A preprogrammed printout is produced.

If not as programmed, check all settings. If
problem remains, replace main board MK

14-10.

Switch the unit OFF and leave
connected to the mains supply for

10 hours or more to charge the

battery.

Disconnect the mains and switch
the unit ON.

Battery symbol is shown on the LCD

screen.

Run the unit on battery power for

approximately an hour.

Unit fully operational. No degradation.

If not, check battery and replace if
necessary.

Run the unit more than 8 hours on
battery power (AT-2plus Memory
4 hours).

Battery symbol flashes.
