General Information
Introduction
This guide tells you how to service and repair the monitor (M2922A). It
describes the system hardware and software, tells you how to diagnose operating
and servicing problems, and how to test the system.
As this monitor is intended to be installed by the customer, refer to the
Instructions for Use for details of how to install the monitor.
The FM-2 Antepartum Fetal Monitor Service Guide supplements the
maintenance and troubleshooting procedures carried out by the operator that
are described in the Instructions for Use. Refer to the Instructions for Use for
maintenance and troubleshooting procedures that may be performed during
normal operation.
Any other maintenance and repair procedures beyond the level covered in the
Instructions for Use are limited to replacement of:
• the battery
• three board assemblies inside the case (but excluding the main PCB)
• the speaker
• components of the LCD display installed in the front case assembly
The features available on the monitor you are servicing depend on which
accessories were purchased. As this manual covers all accessories, consult your
configuration listing to see which apply to your monitor.
As the only support strategy for the Recorder is unit exchange, in the event of a
malfunction or failure, no repair or servicing information for it is included in
this manual. For routine care and maintenance, refer to the Instructions for Use.
Only qualified service personnel should attempt to disassemble the monitor, or
to remove or replace any internal assemblies.
Chapter 1 - General Information 1

Repair Strategy
Who Should Read This Guide

This guide is for any technical personnel servicing and repairing the FM-2
monitor (M2922A).
You must:
• understand English
• be familiar with standard medical equipment installation procedures
• be familiar with current conventional technical terms as used throughout
this guide
What to Do Next
Familiarize yourself with the contents of this guide before attempting to service
or repair the monitor.
Repair Strategy
Reading operating error messages and the error log helps to determine whether a
fault is a hardware or software problem. Fault rectification is accomplished by
replacement of the defective part at the assembly level. For example, faults may
be repaired by replacement of a complete board where the fault is identified, or
by exchanging the monitor.
Repair or replacement of individual components on the boards is not supported,
and should never be attempted.
There are no servicing instructions in this manual for the Recorder (M2925A) as
a repair is effected by exchanging the unit only.
After any repairs you must carry out the following tests:
• Power-On Self-Test (see “FM-2 Power-On Self-Test” on page 20)
• Performance tests (see “Testing Transducers” on page 90)
• Safety tests after repair (see “Safety Testing” on page 84)

Overview Of The Device
General Description
The device description included in this chapter focuses on the functional
performance of the replaceable assemblies that may be identified as the probable
cause of an apparent malfunction.
Refer to the Instructions for Use for information about the operation of the
monitor and of the Recorder. That manual includes descriptions of the
installation and setup of the monitor, modes of operation, recording of real-time
patient data, and transmission of patient data to local or remote PCs.

Block Diagram of Operation

Figure 1 illustrates the functional operation of the monitor, including the
accessories and options. It incorporates features of the mechanical design,
indicating the physical relationship of the assemblies and components.
Figure 1 FM-2 Block Diagram of Operation

Mechanical Description
As indicated in Figure 1, except for the battery, speaker, interface board, and rear
connector board, all functioning components of the monitor are installed as sub-
assemblies of the case front-cover assembly. There are four sockets (event marker,
Toco and two US) accessible on the left side panel. These are mounted on a side
connector PCB, which is itself mounted on the main PCB.
The case rear-cover assembly includes the replaceable battery and the speaker
assembly. The rear cover provides openings through which the three rear
connector board-mounted connectors (serial, parallel and power input) are
accessible. Additional mechanical features are included in
Chapter 6, “Disassembly/Reassembly Guide”.
LCD and Backlight

The LCD panel is a monochrome LCD display. It is a single-panel display with
a resolution of 320 X 240 pixels. Data to be displayed are stored in the main
board. Direct connection to the LCD panel is made through on-board header
assembly J7.
The backlight of the LCD is a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL)
mounted as part of the LCD panel. The AC high-voltage is turned on and off by
a digital control bit from the main-board-mounted drive.
Serial I/O Communications Port

The RS-232 interface is totally isolated from the interface board through the use
of high-speed optical isolators and isolated 5-volt power supply.
See Chapter 2, “System Interfaces” for serial connections, pinouts, cables and
supported modems.
Parallel I/O Communications Port

The parallel communications port is used to connect the monitor to the
Recorder or to a standard PCL Level 3 printer. At the time of printing, not all
PCL Level 3 printers are supported. For printers that have been validated for use

with the monitor, please see “Parallel I/O Communications Interface” on

page 18.
For further details of the pinouts and the cable specifications, see
Chapter 2, “System Interfaces”.
Keypad and Navigation Wheel

There are seven front-panel switches, two LEDs, and one wheel push-button
switch. All of these buttons go to the main-board except for the ON/OFF push
button, which goes directly to the power supply. The software monitors these
signals to determine which buttons were pushed. The two LEDs are located on
the control panel and inform the user of mains or battery operation.
The wheel consists of a mechanical rotary encoder wheel with a momentary
push button switch. As the knob is rotated, quadrature-coded outputs are
generated. The phase relationship between the two signals, in quadrature, reflect
the clockwise or counter clockwise rotation of the wheel. This relationship is
translated to move the cursor on the LCD display forward or backward,
depending on which way the wheel is rotated.
Power Supplies
The unit is operated from a 6-volt 4 AH sealed lead acid battery. The power
supply provides enough power to charge the battery even when the unit is
operating.
The monitor power is controlled by alternate button closures of the front panel
membrane switch. Unit operation starts only via a push of the front panel
button, but operation will stop after a delay of a few seconds when pushing the
front-panel membrane switch. This delay permits the main-board processor to
shut down in an orderly fashion, after storing the parameters and data, if any.

Measurements Channels
Measurements Channels
Ultrasound Channel
The monitor has two ultrasound sockets, US 1 and US 2, located on the side
panel of the monitor. Either one or two M1356A ultrasound transducers can be
connected. The latter case allows twins monitoring. (Refer to the Instructions for
Use for transducer specifications).
The transmitter pulsing the ultrasound transducer is gated by control circuitry,
and return signals are processed in the CODEC circuitry on the main board.
Toco Channel
The Toco circuit uses a Wheatstone bridge, with two strain gauge elements
mounted on a load beam. The differential output voltage is proportional to the
force applied to the load beam through the plunger. The Toco circuit is powered
from a single regulated 5V-supply excitation.
The amplified and filtered TOCO signal is converted by a 12-bit analog to
digital converter, providing an output scale of 2.56LSBs/gram.
Mountings
The monitor can be mounted in two ways using the following optional items:
• GCX roll stand (M3909A)
• GCX wall-mount (M3904A)
Refer to the fitting instructions that come with the relevant option.

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
For detailed instructions on how to clean the monitor and the monitoring
accessories, see the Instructions for Use.
For instructions on cleaning the Recorder, refer to the Instructions for Use.

System Interfaces
Overview
The monitor has the following system interfaces:

• Serial I/O interface
• Parallel I/O interface
Note—The serial and parallel interfaces are not electrically isolated against
each other.
Serial I/O Communications Interface
The RS-232 interface is totally isolated from the interface board through the use
of high-speed optical isolators and isolated 5-volt power supply.
The RS-232 communications interface port is for communicating with:
• a desktop modem (see “Supported Modems” on page 14)
• a GSM cell phone modem (see “Supported Modems” on page 14)
• a PC/AT computer
The RS-232 communications protocol supports connections to OB TraceVue.
These connections are:
• direct (cable) connection to the OB TraceVue system, to supply real-time
patient data (System Online).
• via modem to supply complete patient records (System Batch).
It will also be used for software upgrades in the future.
Chapter 2 - System Interfaces 13

The cable (M1380-61624) is a 3 meter long, fully wired RS-232 Null-modem

cable supplied with the viewer software. It is also available as an OB TraceVue
option.
Supported Modems
Note—As modems are not designed to fulfil the electrical requirements of a

medical device in terms of leakage current and isolation, a modem must be
located outside of the patient vicinity.
The following modems are the only modems that are currently validated and
supported:
14 Chapter 2 - System Interfaces

Supported Modems
• a MultiTech Systems MT-5600ZDX desktop modem

• a Nokia 6210GSM cellular phone modem (GSM type)
MultiTech Systems MT-5600ZDX
Modem The monitor sends the following default modem initialization string:
Default
Initialization ‘ATE0X4&K0\r’
String This is the first string sent by the monitor, and it is not customizable, nor is it
obvious to the user.
The monitor expects to see an “OK” come back from the modem after the
initialization string has been sent.
If an “OK” is returned to the monitor (that is, confirmation that a modem is
connected), the monitor then sends the user-customizable initialization string,
preceded by “AT” and followed by ”\r”.
The Attention characters, ‘AT’, at the beginning of the initialization string start
the command mode. The ‘\r’ at the end represents a Return, when the characters
entered in the command line and stored in the modem’s command buffer are
executed. The monitor always automatically enters the Attention (AT) and
Return (\r) characters.
Therefore, the user never needs to enter “AT” or “\r”.
The dialing also works in the same manner. The user never needs to enter the
return “\r” after the phone number. First, the monitor sends “ATD”, then the
user-entered phone number, then “\r”. “ATD” is simply the command to dial
with whichever dialing method is set as the default. (The default setting as
shipped is Tone dialing.)
If it is necessary to change the dialing method from Tone to Pulse, or vice versa,
then this is specified in the user-entered initialization string.
For example, to change to the Pulse dialing method, simply enter a P in the
modem initialization string.

The components of the default initialization string are explained in the

following table.
Table 2 MultiTech MT-5600ZDX initialization string

commands
Command Explanation
E0 Switches to verbose mode. To establish whether a modem

connection is effective, the modem replies to the signal sent
by the monitor with an ‘OK’ signal, or an error signal, rather
than just a result code (e.g. 0, 1, etc.). If an ‘OK’ is received,
then it is positive confirmation that the modem is connected
and functional.
X4 Switches to extended result codes, along with smart dialling.
The modem checks for a dial tone, dials, then checks for a
ring back or a busy signal after dialling.
This is not appropriate in local exchange branches.
X0 Selects basic result codes and blind dialling (dials even if there
is no line), as an alternative to use in local exchange branches.
&K0 No modem initiated flow control (disables the flow control).
For detailed information about the MultiTech Systems MT-5600ZDX and how
to set it, please refer to the modem’s Owner’s Manual.

Supported Modems
The commands above are only applicable to Rockwell/Conexant-based

MultiTech Systems modems. At the time of printing, the MultiTech MT-
5600ZDX is the only desktop modem that has been validated for use with the
monitor.
The monitor may also work with other modems, but this has not been tested,
and consequently no other modems are officially supported.
Customers may use any other modem after successful verification of several trace
transmissions.
Nokia 6210GSM
Instead of a conventional wired phone connection using a desktop modem, a
cellular phone can be used to transmit traces to the viewer or to OB TraceVue.
At the time of printing, the Nokia 6210GSM is the only cellular phone to date
that has been validated for use with the monitor.
Customers may use any other modem after they have successfully verified several
trace transmissions.

Parallel I/O Communications Interface
Parallel I/O Communications Interface
Caution
General-purpose personal computers and modems are not designed to
meet the electrical safety requirements of medical devices. The RS-232 and
parallel connectors on the monitor are electrically isolated to permit safe
connections to non-medical devices, which should be connected with a
cable of sufficient length to prevent the non-medical equipment from
contacting the patient.
If a non-medical device is connected to the serial port, a recorder or
printer connected at the same time to the parallel port should be located
outside the patient vicinity, as the two interfaces are not isolated against
eachother.
The parallel communications port is used to connect the FM-2 to the Recorder
or to a standard PCL Level 3 printer. Supported printers that have been
validated at the time of printing are:
• HP Deskjet 640c
• HP Deskjet 840c
• HP Deskjet 990 CXi
• HP Deskjet 980 CXi
• HP Deskjet 960c
• HP Deskjet 840c
• HP Deskjet 640c
• HP Deskjet 350
• HP Photosmart 1215
A standard PC parallel printer cable is used (IEEE-1284 compliant). This is
supplied with the recorder.
Although the same cable is used to connect the monitor to the Recorder or a
PCL Level 3 printer, a different protocol is used for communicating between the
monitor and the Recorder. This protocol does not conform to the IEEE 1284
norm, and is actually a serial connection.

Tests and Error Codes
Service Philosophy
If the monitor detects a problem, it displays an error screen that shows an error
reference number, and monitoring is discontinued. In addition, the errors are
written to the error log (see Table 3, “FM-2 Error Codes,” on page 23).
Read the system error log to determine whether the fault lies in the hardware or
firmware. These problems can be repaired by board replacement or unit
exchange. Do not attempt component-level board repair.
Overview of the Service Tests
A brief overview of the service tests that are used to verify performance following
repairs or during routine maintenance follows. All tests can be performed
without removing the covers of the monitor.
• Visual Test (see page 20)
• Power-On Self Test (see page 20)
• Performance tests for transducers, to check the processing of the signal from
the transducers (see “Testing Transducers” on page 90)
• Safety Tests
These test the electrical safety of the monitoring system and must be carried
out after upgrades and repairs. You must use a safety testing analyzer.
– System Safety Test (see page 89)
– Safety Test Blocks (see Table 21, “Test and Inspection Matrix,” on
page 81)
Chapter 3 - Tests and Error Codes 19

Checking the Battery
Checking the Battery
Before testing the monitor after repair or service, ensure that the battery itself is
not at fault. See “Battery Charging and Maintenance” on page 82.
Visual Test
Visually inspect the monitor and its accessories after a repair, and also on a
regular basis as part of routine maintenance. Ensure that the monitor, cables,
line cords, transducers and instruments have no visible evidence of damage that
may affect patient safety or monitoring performance. Do not use if there is any
sign of damage.
FM-2 Power-On Self-Test
When the monitor is turned on, it automatically performs a diagnostic self-test.

The self test continues during normal operation also. If the monitor fails its self
test, it will display an error screen, and will discontinue all monitoring
functions. In this case, it should be turned off and removed from service.
What Happens During the Power-On Self Test

• The executable program is loaded from flash memory into Random Access
Memory (RAM).
• A checksum algorithm is run to test the program just loaded into RAM.
• If the checksum test passes, the watchdog timer is started. The purpose of the
watchdog is to check that all tasks running concurrently on the monitor are
operating correctly.
20 Chapter 3 - Tests and Error Codes

FM-2 Power-On Self-Test
• The watchdog timer is allowed to time out, and the interrupt expected to
occur is verified to have occurred. Software will detect a watchdog failure if
the watchdog timer does not expire within a specified amount of time.
Performing the Power-On Self Test

1. Press the On/Off button .
2. Initially the LCD screen illuminates, but is blank.
3. After two or three seconds, the monitor plays a two-tone power-on jingle
while performing the Power-On Self Test. At this point, the monitor
displays the start-up screen, showing the Agilent logo, bootcode version
and the application version.
4. Upon successful completion of the Power-On Self Test, the display will
show the main monitoring screen.
5. If an error is detected, the monitor will display the error screen.
6. The error number is stored in the error log (see Table 3, “FM-2 Error
Codes,” on page 23).
If the Power-On Self Test fails, try to cycle power again. If it fails again, then
exchange the monitor.

Performance Test for Transducers
Performance Test for Transducers
This tests the signal path to and from the transducers.

1. Turn on the monitor and the recorder or printer.
2. Connect one or two US cables and the TOCO transducer.
3. Check that the display acknowledges the connected transducers in the

appropriate frames.
Also refer to “Testing Transducers” on page 90.
Error Handling
There are two types of error that you may see: those that the monitor cannot
self-detect, and those that it can self-detect.
• If an operational error occurs that is not self-detected, the monitor shuts
down. There will be no audible or visual warnings or indicators.
• If a self-detectable error occurs, the monitor will do the following:
– Display the error screen
– Sound an error tone
– Discontinue all monitoring functions

Power-up Default Settings and the
Service Menu
Introduction
This section discusses use of the Power-up Defaults Menu to configure power-
on default settings, and the Service Menu to obtain service-related information
about the monitor.
Power-up Defaults Settings

These are parameters which can be changed by the user. The power-up defaults
allow you to create a power-up default for many settings in the monitor. Power-
up defaults are the settings in effect each time the monitor is powered on.
The power-up default settings are configured at the factory prior to shipment.
Some of the parameters are stored when the monitor is powered down, and these
are classified as “saved through power cycle”. The factory default values are
defined in Table 4.

Service Menu
Error Log
This screen displays the eight most recent error code types, logged by the
monitor. After eight error code types have been logged, the oldest error code
type will be deleted as new error code types are added. Adjacent to each error
code will be an entry which is the number of occurrences of that error. This
means that if there are many occurrences of one type of error code, that one
error code won’t overwrite the other seven error codes.
Next to the occurrence field is the time and date of the most recent occurrence
of the error code. Error codes may not be changed or reset in this screen. When
in the Error Code screen, the Return item is always highlighted; a press of the
wheel will return the user to the Service Menu. Rotating the wheel while in the

System A/D Values

For the end user or service personnel, the system A/D values require no
interpretation.
The A/D screen displays the current value of each analog-to-digital

(A/D) channel in volts. The A/D channels read DC voltages, for example, power
supply voltages and battery voltage. The A/D values displayed are static, being
acquired when the screen is first displayed.
None of the displayed values may be changed or reset in this screen.When in the
A/D screen, the Return item is always highlighted; a press of the wheel will
return the user to the Service Menu. Rotating the wheel while in the A/D screen

Troubleshooting
General
This section provides a guide for qualified service personnel in locating the
possible cause of an apparent malfunction of the monitor or its accessories. Use
of built-in diagnostics, flow charts, and step-by-step procedures are provided as
aids in the troubleshooting process.
The chapter leads you to a probable field replaceable assembly or component.
Items that are serviceable only at the factory are also identified, as well as
instructions for their return for repair/replacement.
The initial analysis determines whether the apparent malfunction is caused by a
replaceable accessory, or by a replaceable assembly within the monitor case.
Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting 31
General
Initial Trouble Diagnosis

The first step in diagnosing a possible malfunction is to duplicate, if possible,
the symptoms of the reported malfunction. Thereafter, it is important to
categorize the problem as either one of two types, as illustrated in Figure 4. They
are:
• Totally inoperative condition, or
• Degraded operation.
The totally inoperative condition is indicated by the failure of the monitor to
respond to the power ON front-panel action, or by complete loss of monitoring
functions during operation. Contact your local Agilent Response Center.
Degraded operation performance might be indicated by the appearance of
artifacts in the display, or by gaps in the pixel display, by intermittent actions, or
by obviously inaccurate measures of fetal activity, etc.

Diagnostic Flow Chart

The flow chart of Figure 5 shows a sequence of actions and decisions you can use
after the initial diagnosis of a “total failure” as a power supply or display
problem.
Note—If the apparent “total failure” is caused by a malfunctioning display

backlight, you may see a faintly lit display with the appropriate Power-On
Self Test message. The troubleshooting under these circumstances is
described in this section.

• The rear case assembly
The main PCB assembly is separable from the front case assembly.
38 Chapter 6 - Disassembly/Reassembly Guide

Tools Required
All part numbers and exploded views of some assemblies are found in
Chapter 7, “Spare Parts”.
Tools Required
Caution
When reassembling, be sure to follow torque-limits instructions. Excessive
torque may damage the plastic screw mountings or case.
The following tools are required:

• small/medium, Phillips-head screwdriver
• A torque-sensitive tool, with a torque range to 1.1 Nm (10 in-lb.); accuracy
±0.1 Nm (±1 in-lb.)
• needle-nose pliers or Tinnerman tool
• 10 mm socket driver (for wheel encoder nut)
• 3/16” socket driver
The rear case assembly consists of a molded plastic case, in which the battery is
stored. The speaker housing is mounted on the back of the rear case assembly,
and also forms the cover for the battery. Through-holes in the case cover are
provided for the rear-panel connectors, that are mounted on the rear connector
board.
Fuses
There are no customer or field-replaceable fuses.

Closed Case Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures

This section describes the items that may be removed without disassembling the
main case of the monitor.
The speaker housing is attached to the back of the rear case. The speaker
housing also acts as the battery cover. To gain access to the battery, first remove
the speaker housing (see “Removing the Speaker Housing” on page 41).
Caution
Important for disassembly! When disassembling the monitor, make sure
that the battery leads are disconnected. Otherwise, it is likely that circuit
damage will occur.
Caution
Important for reassembly! If the internal battery cable has been
disconnected, pay very careful attention to the polarity of the cable before
reattaching. The red wire connects to the +ve terminal, the black wire
connects to the -ve terminal. If the battery cable polarity is reversed, circuit
damage will occur. Circuit damage caused by reversed polarity is not
covered by the warranty.

Removing the Speaker Housing

Step 1. Place the monitor on its front panel, being careful not to place the unit
on any surface that will damage the display.
Step 2. Using the Phillips-head screwdriver, unfasten the two screws securing
the speaker housing. The speaker housing also acts as the battery cover.
Step 3. Gently lift the bottom (screw) end of the speaker cover just enough for
the battery pad (attached to the inside of the speaker housing) to clear
the bottom of the rear case. At the same time, slide the speaker housing
towards the bottom of the rear case to free the two lugs holding the top
of the speaker housing. The speaker housing is now free of the rear
case, but with the wires still connected.
Step 4. Carefully disconnect the speaker wires by sliding the spade connectors
off the speaker terminals.
Step 5. The speaker housing is now completely free of the rear case.

Replacing the Speaker Housing

Step 1. Connect the speaker cables by pushing the spade terminals onto the
speaker terminals in the speaker housing. Check that they are secure.
The wires are not coded for polarity, as the polarity is uncritical.
Speaker housing
lugs
Speaker
terminals
Step 2. Refit the speaker housing by sliding the two metal lugs at the top end
of the speaker housing under the lip at the top of the battery housing
aperture until it stops.
Step 3. Secure the speaker housing with the two fastening screws. Torque the
screws to 0.7 to 0.9 Nm (6 to 8 in. lb).
Caution
Do not overtorque the screws, as the plastic screw mountings or the casing
may be damaged.

Removing the Battery

Step 1. Place the monitor upside down so that its top is resting on the work
surface. In this position, the monitor leans back at a convenient angle
that allows easy removal of the battery with the aid of gravity.
Step 2. While the monitor is in this tilted position, the battery will normally
fall partly out of its housing. If it does not, then apply a little pressure
on the terminal-end of the battery (nearest the work surface). This
should cause the battery to fall partly out of the case.
Step 3. Carefully remove the battery from the monitor. Take care not to put
too much stress on the battery wires as you take the battery out of the
case.
Step 4. Disconnect the battery cables by sliding the spade connectors off the
battery terminals.
Caution
During reassembly, pay very careful attention to the polarity of the battery
cable before reattaching. The red wire connects to the +ve terminal, the
black wire connects to the –ve terminal. If the battery cable polarity is
reversed, circuit damage will occur. Circuit damage caused by reversed
polarity is not covered by the warranty.

Replacing the Battery

Step 1. Connect the battery cables to the replacement battery, paying careful
attention to cable polarity. Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal, marked in red. Connect the black cable to the negative
terminal, marked in black.
Step 2. Carefully place the new battery into the battery housing.
Step 3. Reconnect the speaker and refit the speaker assembly. (See “Replacing
the Speaker Housing” on page 42).
Battery Disposal
Refer to practices and procedures used at the local institution when disposing of
the battery.
Please conform to any local laws and requirements governing the disposal of lead
acid batteries.

Separation of Front and Rear Case Assemblies

Note—The US and Toco sockets protrude slightly from the face of

the connector panel on the side of the monitor. While separating the
front and rear case assemblies, you may feel some resistance at the
connector panel end of the monitor, in which case gently raise the
handle end of the rear case assembly to help to clear the sockets.
Step 5. If the silicone tubing seal is to be replaced, remove it.

Reassembly
Step 1. Ensure that the cables for the speaker and the battery are correctly
routed and accessible from the rear of the case for later connection.
Step 2. Confirm that the patient connector PCB is firmly mated to the main
PCB. (There should be no gap between the bottom of the patient
connector PCB and the main PCB).
Step 3. Carefully align the groove in the connector panel with the edge of the
corresponding opening in the rear case moulding. Take care that it
stays aligned while you push the front and rear case assemblies
together. When the reassembly is complete, the edge of the case
opening should sit evenly in the groove of the connector panel.
Step 4. Align the ridge in the front case assembly with the groove in the rear
case assembly.
Step 5. Check that the four screw holes align correctly.
Step 6. Drive in the four screws that hold the front and rear assemblies
together. Torque the screws to 0.7 to 0.9 Nm (6 to 8 in. lb).
Caution
Do not overtorque the screws, as the plastic screw mountings or casing
may be damaged.
Step 7. Refit the battery (see “Replacing the Battery” on page 44).
Step 8. Refit the speaker housing (see “Replacing the Speaker Housing” on
page 42).

Front Case Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures

This section describes how to remove/replace items from the front case assembly.
The front case assembly includes the replaceable molded front-case, the main
PCB, the LCD assembly, the front-panel keypad and the navigation wheel.
First separate the front and rear case assemblies as described in the section
“Separation of Front and Rear Case Assemblies” on page 45.
Removing the Navigation Wheel

The wheel is a friction fit on the stem of the encoder. The encoder is attached to
the main circuit board and has a threaded moulded base just below the rotating
stem of the encoder. The threaded base accepts a 10 mm nut which fastens the
encoder assembly to the front bezel.
Step 1. From the front, remove the wheel by grasping the sides of the wheel
firmly and pulling straight back from the monitor.
If the wheel is not easily removable by hand, a small flat-headed
screwdriver may be used to gently pry off the wheel. If necessary, apply
some adhesive tape to the front cover and/or the head of the
screwdriver to prevent any damage.
Step 2. Use a 10 mm hex socket or suitable closed spanner to unscrew the
fastening nut on the outside of the front bezel.
Encoder shaft
10 mm nut

Replacing the Navigation Wheel

Step 1. If the front case assembly has been disassembled, refit the LCD
assembly (see “Replacing the LCD Assembly” on page 51) and the
main circuit board (see“Replacing the Main PCB Assembly” on page
52) to the front case assembly.
Step 2. Screw the 10 mm nut onto the threaded base of the encoder switch
from the outside of the front bezel, initially by hand.
Caution
Do not overtorque. If excessive torque is applied to the encoder nut,
damage will occur to the encoder switch. Do not exceed the maximum
allowable torque setting.
Step 3. Using a torque-sensitive tool, torque the nut to 0.2 Nm (28.3 oz. in.).
Step 4. Push the navigation wheel onto the shaft of the encoder.

Removing the Main PCB Assembly from the Front Case Assembly
Step 1. Remove the navigation wheel (see “Removing the Navigation Wheel”
on page 47).
Step 2. Place the front case assembly with the bezel face down on the work
surface. Take care not to damage the display.
Step 3. Disconnect the backlight power supply cable connector from J4 on the
main PCB.
Step 4. Disconnect the keypad ribbon cable connector from J6 on the main
PCB. To remove the cable from the connector, first release the locking
cap to loosen the cable. Slide the cable out, leaving the cap loosely
seated in the connector.
Step 5. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw holding the main
PCB assembly in place in the front cover assembly.

Step 2. Position the LCD assembly so that the holes in each corner align with
the four screw mounts on the inside of the front bezel.
Step 3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, fasten the LCD assembly with the
four fixing screws.

Replacing the Main PCB Assembly

Step 1. If the LCD assembly has been removed, first replace it. (See “Replacing
the LCD Assembly” on page 51).
Note—There are two notches on the main PCB, used for location
purposes. One is at the patient connector panel end, and the other is on
the opposite end. There are two corresponding guides in the front cover.
Step 2. Align the location notch at the patient connector end of the main PCB
with the guide in the front cover, while keeping the opposite end of
the main PCB slightly raised and clear of the LCD connector pins (J7
on the main PCB).
Step 3. At this stage, check that the cables and connectors for the LCD
backlight power supply and the front keypad do not get trapped
underneath the main PCB, but are free and accessible from the side of
the main PCB.
Step 4. With the guide in the front cover still located in the notch at the
patient connector end of the main PCB, carefully align the connector
J7 on the main PCB with the corresponding pins on the LCD
assembly.
Step 5. Press down gently until the connector at J7 on the main PCB is fully
seated on the pins on the LCD assembly. Check that the notch at the
handle end of the main PCB aligns with the guide in the front cover,
and that the fixing holes in the main PCB align with the four screw
mounts in the front cover. This will confirm that the J7 connector is
correctly located. Also check that the navigation wheel shaft is centred
in the hole in the plastic bezel recess, so that the refitted wheel does not
bind with the case.
Step 6. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, fasten the fixing screw to the screw
mount in the front cover at the handle end, nearest to the navigation
wheel/encoder switch.

meet the electrical safety requirements of medical devices. The RS-232 and
parallel connectors on the monitor are electrically isolated to permit safe
connections to non-medical devices, which should be connected with a
cable of sufficient length to prevent the non-medical equipment from
contacting the patient.
If a non-medical device is connected to the serial port, a recorder or
printer connected at the same time to the parallel port should be located
outside the patient vicinity, as the two interfaces are not isolated against
each other.
Introduction
This chapter contains maintenance and safety information for the FM-2
antepartum fetal monitor and its accessories.
All checks that require the instrument to be opened must be made by qualified
service personnel. Please contact your local Agilent representative when you wish
safety and maintenance checks to be carried out.
To ensure that your monitor functions properly and safely, you must adhere to
the standards stated in this manual.

Battery Charging and Maintenance
Battery Charging and Maintenance

Before attempting to perform any tests, it is important to verify that the battery
is charged and functional.
Using the Battery

You can run the monitor for approximately six hours on battery power at room
temperature of 25o C from a fully charged battery (with a minimum of two
hours monitoring at 10o C from a fully charged battery). The age of the battery,
operating temperature and number of recharge cycles affects this. A battery life
cycle is approximately 200 charge/discharge cycles.
Low Power Warning

A low power warning occurs when the battery power is running low. The battery
fuel gauge flashes, and a repetitive audible tone sounds. Remaining monitoring
time is typically 30 minutes with a new battery at room temperature of 25o C. In
an older monitor, in which the battery has had a number of recharge cycles, it
may occur when fewer minutes remain.
The warning continues until the low power condition disappears (when you
connect the monitor to an AC power supply) or until the system stops
functioning because of the low power.You cannot silence it, and you cannot
adjust its volume.
The monitor retains any stored fetal traces, even if it shuts down because of lack
of battery power.

Preventive Maintenance
Recharging the Battery

Use the power supply to recharge the battery from an AC power source. This
takes a maximum of 14 hours when monitoring simultaneously, or eight hours if
no monitoring occurs. Typical times are 11 hours if you are monitoring
simultaneously, or 4.75 hours if no monitoring occurs.
Storing
A stored battery loses capacity over time. To minimize loss of capacity, recharge
the battery at least every six months. A battery typically has three to five years
shelf life.
Preventive Maintenance
The only preventive maintenance task required for the monitor is battery
exchange. Life expectancy of a battery depends on the frequency and duration of
use. The battery should be replaced every two years.
See “Removing the Battery” on page 43, and “Replacing the Battery” on page
44.

Safety Testing
Safety Testing
This section defines the test and inspection procedures applicable to the FM-2
fetal monitors. Use the tables in the following section to determine what test and
inspection results must be reported after a repair has been carried out.
• Test Blocks in Table 20 tells you when to carry out the tests blocks
• Test and Inspection Matrix in Table 21 tells you the expected results of the
tests and what to record.
Warning
Apply the safety test limits set by the local standards and statutes applicable
to the country of installation, such as IEC 601-1, UL2601, CAN/CSA-
C22.2 No. 601.1.M90.
The safety tests defined in this chapter are derived from local and
international standards but may not be equivalent. They are NOT a
substitute for local safety testing.
Caution
Successful completion of the patient safety tests does not ensure the correct
and accurate functioning of the equipment.

Safety Testing
Safety Test Procedures

The test procedures outlined in this section are to be used only for verifying the
safe installation or service of the product. “Safety checks at installation refer to
safety aspects directly related to the installation and setup activities and not to
intrinsic safety features that have already been checked during final acceptance
testing at the factory.”
[FDA 97-4179 Medical Quality Systems Manual: A Small Entity Compliance
Guide (QSR manual). First Edition December 1996. Chapter 14: Storage,
Distribution and Installation. This document may be viewed at http://
www.fda.gov.
When running safety tests on the peripheral components of the system, refer to
the documentation included with those products.
When performing safety tests, you must use a standard safety tester. You can use
testers complying with IEC 601-1 internationally. You may also use testers
complying with any local standards and statutes applicable to the country of the
installation. For safety test procedures see the operation instructions of the safety
tester used.
If using the Metron safety tester use your local regulations to perform the test,
for example
• in Europe: IEC60601-1/IEC60601-1-1
• in the US: UL2601-1
The Metron Report should print results as detailed in this chapter, along with
other data.

There are two general categories of safety test:

• Ground integrity
• Electrical Leakage

Safety Testing
Ground Integrity
The FM-2 is a Class 2, Type BF instrument. It has an external power supply, and
is constructed with double insulation. The FM-2 does not require an isolated
Earth Ground terminal, neither is one installed. No Protective Ground
Continuity check is required.
Electrical Leakage
The following tests verify the electrical leakage of the monitor:
• Enclosure leakage Current
• Patient Leakage Current
Safety Test 1: Enclosure Leakage Current Test
Normal This test is applicable to Class 1 and 2 equipment, type B, BF, and CF Applied
Condition Parts. The test measures leakage current of exposed metal parts of the
Instrument Under Test. It tests both normal and reversed polarity.
For type BF and CF Applied Parts the test measures AP/GND.
Safety Test according IEC 601-1 (Clause 19).
Report the highest value.
Single Fault This test is applicable to Class 1 and 2 equipment, type B, BF, and CF Applied
Condition Parts. The test measures leakage current of exposed metal parts of the
(S.F.C.) Open Instrument Under Test with one supply lead interrupted. It tests both normal
Supply and reversed polarity.
For type BF and CF Applied Parts the test measures AP/GND.

Safety Testing
Test Steps 1. Connect the external power supply output cord to the monitor. Then
connect the appropriate external power supply input power cord to the
analyzer as recommended by the analyzer operating instructions.
2. Using the appropriate test cable, connect the analyzer to a fixing nut of
the RS-232 connector on the back of the monitor.
3. Turn the monitor on.
4. Perform the test as recommended by the analyzer operating instructions.
The analyzer leakage current indication must not exceed the values listed in
Table 22.

Safety Test 2: Patient Leakage Current Test
Normal This test is applicable to Class 1 and 2 equipment, type B, BF, and CF Applied
Condition Parts. The test measures patient leakage current from any individual patient
connection to earth (power ground) in parallel. It tests both normal and reversed
polarity.
Single Fault This test is applicable to Class 1 and 2 equipment, type B, BF, and CF Applied
Condition Parts. The test measures patient leakage current from any individual patient
(S.F.C.) Open connection to earth (power ground) in parallel, with one supply lead
Supply interrupted. It tests both normal and reversed polarity.
Test Steps This test requires a sample patient cable for each device parameter. These must
be configured as recommended by the safety analyzer operating instructions.
1. Configure the electrical safety analyzer as recommended by the analyzer
operating instructions.
2. Connect the appropriate external power supply input power cord to the
analyzer as recommended by the analyzer operating instructions. Connect
the external power supply output cord to the monitor.
