1. GENERAL
Service Policy
Nihon Kohden Corporation’s basic policy for technical service is to replace faulty
units, printed circuit boards or parts. We do not support component-level repair of
boards and units outside the factory for the following reasons:
• A special facility is necessary to repair multi-layer boards because most of the
components on the board are SMD (surface mount devices) and most of the
circuits employ a gate array method.
• To fulfill safety certification requirements, a special facility is necessary to verify
safety as medical equipment after the power unit is repaired.
NOTE
• When ordering parts or accessories from your nearest Nihon Kohden
Corporation’s distributor, please quote the NK code number and part
name which is listed in this service manual, and the name or model
of the unit in which the required part is located. This will help us to
promptly attend to your needs.
• Always use parts and accessories recommended or supplied by
Nihon Kohden Corporation to assure maximum performance from
your instrument.

• Amplitude of point which is 25 mm : more than 7.3 mm
from the rising point of the CAL waveform
10 mm±2% more than 7.3 mm
25 mm

Communication
This is used to check the external communication input/output line of the

instrument, using the check jig. The instrument has one standard communication
connector (SIO). This test is performed by comparing the original test patterns sent
from the output line with the test patterns received at the input line. If any received
test pattern is different from its original, a “Error” message is printed. A “Normal”
message is printed if the communication line is normal. With regard to TxD-RxD
line, if the same data is printed, the line is normal.
Every time the test of one set is repeated, the number of “Count of test” increases
by one. Every time the error is detected during continuous test, the “Error count”
increases by one. The test of one set takes about 5 seconds.

results of all tests performed until the AUTO/MANUAL key is pressed. When
the test result is completely printed, 8 repeating “pips” sound is generated and
the instrument returns to the standby mode for entering the system test number.
Check Procedure for Serial Communication

Check that no error messages appear.

CRO/EXT1
This is used to check the external output/input terminal, using the check jig. The
instrument has the input signal terminal (EXT-IN connector) and output signal
terminal (CRO-OUT connector) at the rear of the instrument.
In this test, the instrument prints the known triangular waveform signals generated
inside the instrument at the lower trace on the recording paper the moment the
instrument outputs the signals from the CRO-OUT terminal to the EXT-IN
connector. At the same time, the instrument prints the triangular waveform signals
input to the EXT-IN connector at the upper trace on the recording paper. There is
no delay time between the printed waveforms on the upper and lower traces.
The following is an example printout of the CRO/EXT1 test result.
Preparation
A locally made check jig is required for the test. To make the check jig, use the
two 3.5φ monaural jacks and leads and solder the signal line and ground line of the

This is used to reset all the system settings to the factory initial settings.
NOTE
The following settings are not reset to the factory initial settings even
if the instrument is initialized.
• date and time* • display language**
• recording resolution setting* • hospital name**
• cue mark position* • direct/modem connection**
• elapsed time • local language font
• saved ECG data
For settings marked with *, refer to the following corresponding
subsection in this section; for settings marked with **, refer to
“Changing Settings Before Measurement (System Setup Screen)” in
the ECG-9010K/9020K operator’s manual.
Procedure
START/STOP key.
If the initialization is completed, the folloing occurs:

• ECG-9010K: One “bing bong” alarm sound is generated and the instrument
returns to the stanby mode for entering the system test number.
• ECG-9020K: A “System Setup Initialization” message appears with one “bing
bong” alarm sound and the instrument returns to the stanby mode
for entering the system test number.
Refer to the ECG-9010K/9020K operator’s manual for the factory initial settings.
Following is the LCD display after the system has been initialized.

ECG Findings List Recording
This is used to print out the list of all ECG findings used for the instrument. The
instrument informs you of the ECG finding as a result of the ECG interpretation
when analyzing the ECG.
Procedure
When the list is completely printed, one “bing bong” alarm sound is generated and
the instrument returns to the standby mode for entering the system test number.
To cancel printing the list, press the START/STOP key or AUTO/MANUAL key.
The instrument returns to the standby mode for entering the system test number.

Recording Resolution Setting
This is used to adjust the thermal head recording resolution after the thermal head
is replaced with a new one or when the printout is not clearly, evenly and
completely printed.
Normally, the resistor value of the heating element on the thermal head is a specific
value which varies from thermal head to thermal head. Even if the same energy is
applied to the thermal head, the recording quality varies due to the difference of the
thermal head resistor value. Therefore, adjusting the thermal head recording
resolution is required to evenly print regardless of the thermal head resistor value.
Do the following procedure to automatically adjust the thermal head recording

resolution.
Procedure
After adjustment is completed, the instrument prints out the test result as shown
below and returns to the stanby mode for entering the system test number.
A number of 1 to 8 is printed at the right of “Thermal head level” if the thermal

head resolution is adjusted correctly. An “Error” is printed when it is necessary
that the thermal head is replaced with a new one.
The following is an example printout of the Recording Resolution Setting system

test.
Thermal head level: 4

Cue Mark Adjustment
This is used to adjust the distance (mm) between the broken line on the recording
paper and paper cutting part on the top casing so that the paper can be just cut at
the broken line. The ideal adjustment is that the broken line on the paper lines up
with the cutting part on the top casing when cutting the paper.
Procedure
1. Enter the system test number [21] (Test mode 2) and press the START/STOP
key to verify the distance between the broken line on the paper and the paper
cutting part. The instrument feeds the recording paper with the “Cue mark
adjustment (0.0 mm)” message and stops feeding it after a paper mark is
detected. The right edge of the paper mark against the paper tracking direction
lines up the broken line on the paper.
2. Put the paper to the paper cutting part as if the paper was cut as shown below.
If the broken line lines up the paper cutting part, you do not have to perform
this adjustment. If there is a deviation between the broken line and paper
cutting part, go to step 3.
