2-2
MN2-2008
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 contents of the battery backup memory.
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. 1M") 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.

MN2-2008
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).

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.

Tx/Rx unit consists of;
Probe Connector part
Tx/Rx part
Digital Beam Former part
Beam Processor part
In addition, the following module/unit are installed in Tx/Rx unit.
Independent probe connection unit: EU-9110 (Option, Ver.3.0.0. and higher)
Mechanical scanning probe connection unit:
EU-9109 (Option, Ver.4.0.0. and higher, M01705 and before)
EU-9124 (Option, Ver.4.0.0. and higher, M01706 and after)

Probe Connector part


It has connectors for electric probes (Phased array, Linear, Convex, Compound array, VOL
scanner and Motorized TEE probe).
Probe Selector board is equipped with HVS (High Voltage Switch) that select the channels
of transmission from the entire transducers when Linear/Convex probe is connected. This
board controls the HVS as well.
Unlike conventional machines, SSD-ALPHA10 doesn’t require a control cable for VOL
mode scanner and Motorized TEE probe since those controls have been included in the pin
assignment.
Furthermore, SSD-APLHA10 adopted new ID for probes that includes not only probe
code but also serial number of the probe. This ID is planted in the probe connector and a
machine reads out the information from it.
It is possible to connect conventional probes as well.

Tx/Rx part
SSD-ALPHA10 adopted different transmission method from conventional machines that it
transmits ultrasound by applying not a single pulse but a waveform. The data of Tx
waveform, focus, apodization are kept in the HDD and it is transferred to the memory of
Tx Generator, calculated in accordance with the condition of Tx/Rx setting. The Wave
Generator creates Tx waveform processing those data then passed to electric probes.
This method makes it possible to create variety of waveform based on sine curve
Received echo is amplified by Pre Amp. in Wave Generator and then, passed to TGC Amp.
in Front End Controller in order to adjust the signal level to the A/D converter at the input
of the Rx Beam Former.
In the case of STCW, the Wave Generator do the transmission in the same way. The
waveform is generated repeatedly so that it makes continuous transmission. The echo
signal is amplified by the Pre Amp. And then go through the quadrature detector in Wave
Generator. Then it passed to A/D converter in Mech. Front End and transferred to Beam
Processor 1.

Digital Beam Former part


The reception signal (analog) passed from TGC 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.
This is digital signal so that it makes possible to do parallel processing by time
sharing operation. Then it is able to improve the frame rate.

& It implements Rx Beam former (Three PC boards with 32 ch circuitry for M01050
and before, one PC board with 96 ch circuitry for M01051 and after) 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.

The US beam from Rx Beam Former is processed by VBPF (Filtering the echo data
according to the depth) in Timing Processor, then passed to Beam Processor 1.
Also, the US beam from Rx Beam Former is processed by detector and filtering in Timing
Processor and then passed to Beam Processor 1 for Doppler analysis. The same data is
transferred to Beam Processor 2 as well for color flow calculation.
Tx & Rx part also has the following circuitry:
The generator of control signal for Rx signal, such as Pre STC and STC signal.
Timing/Control signal generator for Tx/Rx unit.
Motor control for VOL mode scanner and Mechanical scanning probe.
Interface of physiological signal.
Control part for Mother driven TEE probes.

MN2-2008, Rev.2
SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation

Beam Processor part


Beam Processor part contains Beam Processor 1 and Beam Processor 2.
Beam Processor 1 is for processing of B/W echo, analyzing PW/CW Doppler signal,
processing of eTracking (Ver.3~) and the interface of physiological signal. Beam Processor
2 is for color flow calculation.

For B, M mode data, the RF signal from Timing Processor is processed by detection, LOG
compression, AGC, Relief, Contrast etc. (It has two, the same circuitry for parallel
processing), then go through the pre-processing below.
AIP(Ver.6~): It detect the direction and strength of border of difference object, and
then makes edge enhancement and/or smoothing process for the
direction. The speckle noise in the parenchyma is suppressed and the
contour of the edge of the organ is enhanced. In addition, Both AIP
and Edge Optimizer does not work simultaneously.
Edge Optimizer(Ver.6~):
It detect the border line on image. Then improves the connection of
border line by edge enhance. In addition, Both AIP and Edge
Optimizer does not work simultaneously.
Line correlation: It correlates the same depth of data between neighbouring Ultrasound
beam and makes the lateral smoothness better and reducing noise. In
addition, the line correlation is not applied on AIP images.
Frame correlation:It correlates the same position of data among the previous frames of
image and makes the smoothness better in time aspect and reducing
noise.
Then, it adds attributes, such as data type, time stamp and beam number etc., then
transferred to DIU part via BUS LVDS.

For PW Doppler data, the RF signal from Timing Processor that is processed by
quadrature detection, is used and for CW Doppler data and Analog PW Doppler
data(Ver.6~, M01706 and after), it comes from Mecha Frontend. Both data is analyzed by
FFT in Beam Processor 1.
Then, it adds attributes data, and then transferred to DIU part via BUS LVDS.

For Color flow data, the RF signal from Timing Processor that is processed by quadrature
detection, is used as well. The data is processed by Beam Processor 2 that consists of
Corner Turning Memory that stores the Rx data for number of time that is set by Color
Average, then go through the Wall Motion filter (Ver.6~, Addition of Advanced Wall
Motion filter only for eFlow) and auto correlation process (Correlating the data with a
beam before then calculate velocity, variance and power). After that, it goes through noise
filter and spatial filter then passed to frame correlation.
Then, it adds attributes data, and then transferred to DIU part via BUS LVDS.
