2.2 Return of Goods

When returning a unit to Gebrüder Martin or a Gebrüder Martin service point, use the original packaging material (cardboard box) if possible, and add the following information (accompany-ing documents):

• name and address of owner • type and serial numbers • description of the defect(s)

3 Warnings & Safety Instructions

The unit incorporates components that are directly connected to the power supply network. The rear section of the main board and the covered left section of the power manager board remain energized even after the unit has been turned off. The voltages present in this section of the circuit are the line voltage and the pre-stabilized direct voltage (which amounts to 390 V after the unit has been switched on and drops to the peak value of the mains voltage after the unit has been turned off). This section is specially marked on the main board. Three other vol-tages can be present as well: the medium-frequency supply voltage for the screen illumination after the unit has been turned on, the power controller’s output voltage of up to 200 VDC as soon as the unit is activated, and the HF output voltage of up to 12 kVpp.

Therefore, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the power supply before per-forming any repairs. This is the only way to de-energize all components inside the unit!

For certain servicing tasks, it is necessary to operate the ME402 in an open condition because measurements or settings must be carried out. In such cases, be sure to observe the usual safety guidelines for preventing electric shocks.

Since the switching power supply unit incorporates capacitors that may remain energized for some time after the unit has been turned off, an electric shock may be caused if you touch them. This danger is particularly high in the event of internal faults.

4 Service Functions

4.1 Service Menu

The maxium®_{offers basic setting and service functions. These are grouped in the “Service”}

submenu.

Service menu

Pressing the MENU button on the maxium®_{and selecting the Setup menu item takes you to}

the Setup submenu. Selecting the last item, Service, takes you to the text editor, which is usually used for entering program names. In this context, the editor is used for restricting access to the Service functions, as some of them can lead to irreversible actions that are pos-sibly unintended by normal users. Therefore, you must first enter 2020 and select the “Enter” button in order to access the Service menu. Selecting “Escape” takes you to the next higher menu level. Pressing the MENU button a little longer returns you directly to the top or main level.

4.1.1 Program Handling

The “Program Settings” service menu item allows you to make program-specific basic settings, as well as to restore factory settings.

The filling level of the argon gas cylinder is displayed on the screen. The parameter used for deriving the indicated filling level is the gas pressure present at the input of the Beamer. How-ever, this is not a constant value, as the output pressure of the pressure reducer – which is identical with the input pressure of the Beamer – varies with the input pressure of the pressure reducer. Such input pressure, in turn, is identical with the current pressure of the gas cylinder – which also represents the filling level of the cylinder.

To make sure that the filling level of the cylinder is indicated correctly, the symbol displayed can be adjusted to reflect actual conditions. Proceed as follows:

• First, open the corner valve on the gas cylinder. The gas pressure reading on the manome-ter of the pressure reducer must be at least 100 bar for the procedure to be carried out. Subsequently, close the corner valve again.

• Via the menu path Beamer Parameters / Filling Level Calibration, select the item Measure

100 bar and press the rotary switch. This calls up a numerical display.

• Use the PURGE button on the MB402 to activate a gas flow, thereby observing the mano-meter on the pressure reducer. Hold the button down until the indicated residual pressure has dropped to 100 bar with the corner valve closed. Wait until the display has settled to show a stable value, then press the rotary switch to log the value.

• Select the Measure 30 bar menu item and press the rotary switch.

• Again, use the PURGE button on the MB402 to activate a gas flow, thereby observing the manometer on the pressure reducer. Hold the button down until the residual pressure indi-cated has dropped to 30 bar with the corner valve closed. Wait until the display has settled to show a stable value, then press the rotary button to log the value.

• Select the Ready menu item and press the rotary switch for confirmation. This terminates the procedure.

If the gas cylinder pressure has already dropped below 100 bar, a standard setting can be se-lected instead of calibration via the two pressure levels (as described above). This means using fixed values good enough for sufficiently precise pressure indication. Select Beamer

If the filling level drops below the set minimum value, a warning signal is automatically emit-ted. The minimum value (or alarm threshold) can be adjusted by selecting Beamer Parameters and then the Alarm Threshold item and confirming by pressing the rotary switch. Thereafter, you can adjust the alarm threshold across a range of 30 to 80 bar by turning the rotary switch. The factory presetting is 30 bar – a level that provides sufficient reserve when using a 10-liter gas cylinder. When using smaller gas cylinders, the alarm threshold should be set higher.

From HW02, the maxium®_{features a clock with calendar function supporting the log functions.}

Once the unit has been switched off, this clock is powered by a battery located on the control-ler board. As the clock is not required for operating the unit as intended, a discharged battery does not restrict its usability in any way.

The clock is set to Central European daylight saving time (CET) ex factory. There is no aumatic changeover from daylight saving time to standard time. The time is also displayed, to-gether with the battery status, via the Device Status / System Information menu path. To set the clock via the path Device Settings / Time, select the Set Time menu item. The pa-rameters “year”, “month”, “day of month”, “hour” and “minute” can then be individually se-lected and adjusted.

This menu item allows you to limit the maximum output voltage to 4 kV for all currents, e.g. in order to protect endoscopic accessories against overload. However, this setting option makes sense only for units up to (and including) HW02. In higher hardware versions, the newly im-plemented HF output voltage control function ensures that output voltages exceeding 4 kV are limited to open-surgical spray and argon coagulation currents.

If used in the factory-preset mode, the horizontal bar graph below the dosage indicator shows the current dosage setting relative to the maximum value available. As the rotary switch has no left or right end stop indicating the minimum and maximum positions of the adjusting range, the bar graph is intended to keep users informed about their currently set output power level relative to the overall adjusting range.

The menu item “YES” allows you to switch the bar graph from indication of the set power to indication of the actual HF output power relative to the set power. In this mode, the bar lights up on only when HF power is actually emitted. This function is useful in cases where the user is in doubt about the correct power setting for an application. For automatic cutting processes, the preset power should always be higher than the power actually required for the task at hand, as this provides “reserve” for controlling power peaks. If the indicated actual value con-stantly reflects the maximum level, then the preset power is possibly too low.

During HF current activation, the unit is locked against changes in its settings – except for HF output power adjustments, which are possible also during activation (when using the factory presetting). By selecting “Yes”, however, this menu function allows you to lock the unit against output power adjustments during activation as well. The previous function (power adjustment during activation enabled) can be restored at any time by selecting the “No” item, thus releas-ing the lock.

Previously, the activation tone for cutting was lower-pitched than that for coagulation, while there was no difference in pitch between the monopolar and bipolar operating modes. With the implementation of SW2.360, this system has been changed. Now there are four different sound schemes as follows:

Sound scheme 1: This is the new default sound set: Cut = high pitch, Coag = lower pitch, plus pitch difference between monopolar and bipolar, i.e. 4 different acoustic activation signals al-together.

Sound scheme 2: Same as scheme 1: Cut = high pitch, Coag = lower pitch, but no pitch dif-ference between monopolar and bipolar, i.e. 2 different acoustic activation signals altogether. Sound scheme 3: Same as scheme 1, but additional differentiation between M1 and M2, B1 and B2, and monopolar and bipolar, i.e. 8 different acoustic activation signals altogether. The difference between Bipol Cut B1 and B2 has been made particularly noticeable in response to user requests.

Sound scheme 4: “Martin Classic”: Coag = high pitch, Cut = lower pitch. This setting corres-ponds to the previous maxium®_{sounds used up to software version V1.357, reflecting the}

de-livery status of all units with hardware versions up to HW03 inclusive. This means that KLS Martin customers can set their familiar sounds.

Sound scheme 1 is automatically activated during software updates (default setting). Users who wish to work with their familiar sound configuration therefore must switch over to sound scheme 4 in a one-time action.

This menu item allows you to check the release status of the software of all the programmable systems of the unit. Apart from the main controller, programmable systems are the two CPLDs (complex programmable logic devices) for the sound generator and the HF current pulse pat-tern generator located on the controller board, the controller on the patient circuit side of the monopolar board, and the Argon Beamer. These programmable peripheral systems can also be supplied with program updates by the main controller. However, the patient-circuit and Argon Beamer controllers require a bootloader for this purpose (a bootloader is a program part that maintains communication with the main controller independent of the main program while the old main program is being erased and the new main program installed). Whether the boot-loader is installed or not is indicated here as well. The updating process is carried out automat-ically where possible. If not possible because there is no bootloader installed, both the current version and the new version (the one that could be installed with a bootloader) are displayed. The controllers can only be programmed with a bootloader from outside, using the program-ming interface provided on the respective board.

A CAN bus adapter for smoke evacuator control is recognized as well and indicated here if connected.

Starting with hardware version HW02, all electronic components are equipped with identifiers, i.e. small, non-volatile memories in which the module’s ID number, serial number and version number are stored. All of this information can be displayed in this menu. From HW04,

SW2.360, the unit automatically recognizes and displays the socket version as well. The iden-tifier data is used to determine and display the hardware version of the unit. In this process, non-permitted module combinations are detected as well – in which case an error message is displayed and the unit blocked as a result.

The size of the main-board program memory is displayed in addition. Up to HW01, the respec-tive storage space was only 1 MB; from HW02, 2 MB are now available. This larger memory size is required for software updates for V2.368 or higher versions.

Activations and error statuses are also registered by the system. Activations are displayed chronologically, including activation source, duration, power, operating mode, and type of cur-rent used. Once the available memory space has been used up, the oldest entries are subse-quently overwritten. However, as it would not be possible to locate the beginning of the log in cases where there are no date and time entries (either because the current hardware does not support a clock function or because the battery is discharged), the end of the log is marked with a black bar.

Errors are stored in the sequence of their first occurrence. If they occur repeatedly, the coun-ter of the existing entry simply counts up. The corresponding dates are not regiscoun-tered in this case.

With some HW00 and HW01 versions, there may be problems with nominal power setting for high-voltage coagulation currents, notably spray coagulation. In such cases, the menu now (SW0.251 or higher) allows switching over to another setpoint table to achieve the desired output power. There are two alternatives available in addition to the standard table (index 0). The high spray output power “spread” is due to an insufficiently dimensioned HF generator control circuit. However, this problem was already detected and cleared during HW01 produc-tion and therefore is no longer relevant to subsequent hardware releases. For maxium®

To update the operating program of the main controller, it is normally enough to connect the ME402 to the RS232 interface of a PC and then start the marFlash tool. With HW00 and HW01 units, as well as in cases where it is not possible, for whatever reason, to start the updating process directly (USB RS232 adapters tend to cause problems, for example), the unit must be set to boot mode manually by selecting the corresponding menu function. This clears the screen, causing it to turn violet or dark. If no data transfer takes place, the unit will remain in this state, but restarting it is enough to make it ready for operation again. For more detailed information on the topic of updating, please see the following section.

(32)

4.2 Updating the Operating Program

On the maxium®_{, updating the operating program (software update) requires no program}

memory exchange. Rather, this can be done externally by simply overwriting the memory con-tents by data transfer from a PC. As from software status 1.336, even the memory concon-tents of the patient circuit controller and the maxium®_{Beamer controller can be updated in this way in}

addition to those of the main controller. However, this presupposes a bootloader in these con-trollers (see section 4.1.4). For a detailed description of the updating process, please refer to the CD which, among other material, contains the new operating software and can be obtained from the Martin Service Center.

4.2.1 Aids Required for the Update

To update the internal maxium®_{software, the following equipment is required:}

• A serial RS232 modem cable (1:1) with male DSUB9 connector at one end and a female one at the other end. Do not confuse this with a null modem cable used for connecting two PCs. Such cables have female connectors at both ends and cannot be used even with an adapter (gender changer)!

• This cable must be connected to the female 9-pin DSUB9 socket designated “RS232” on the maxium®_{, and to the PC’s socket that is either designated “Serial”, “RS232” or labeled}

“I0I0I“ (usually a male DSUB9 socket or, in the case of laptops, frequently a PS/2 socket (such as the mouse connector)). In the latter case, you also need a PS/2-DSUB9 adapter. For portable PCs that no longer feature an RS232 serial interface, a USB-RS232 adapter must be used.

• A laptop/PC with Microsoft Windows operating system and a free serial interface that can be used by the operating system, e.g. COM1.

• Program marFlash, which is also available from the CD containing the current software. For installation and troubleshooting, please refer to section 4.2.4. The previously used “Fla-shit” tool should not be used anymore since it does not support the program memory ex-tension to 2 MB. As a result, software version 2.368 or higher versions can no longer be programmed with that tool.

• The current operating program for the ME402 maxium®_{in the form of a}

me402_VX.XXX.h86 file, with “X.XXX” standing for the current version. This program is

available on a CD together with the installation program.

If a maxium®_{Beamer is available, you should connect it, although this is not mandatory}

be-cause from version 1.335, the maxium®_{can automatically update the Beamer later.}

4.2.2 Normal Software Updating Procedure

Once the PC and the maxium®_{have been connected with each other via the specified serial}

cable, and after the current download program has been installed from the CD if necessary, proceed as follows:
