3.6. Feed Table

The feed table is one of the key parts of the analyzer, which can influence the test results directly. It
should be kept clean to prevent the carryover and to ensure that the strips can be moved normally;
the feed table should be installed properly, otherwise, it cannot work normally and the system
prompts “The feed table is not in position” alarm.
Use proper strength when installing the feed table. Insert the feed table (see Figure 3.8) into the slot
along the long side until it cannot be pushed forward any more. Do not press the feed table forcely to
avoid the stop screw. See Figure 3.13. Otherwise, the strips cannot be moved to the correct position
for analysis.

Inner wall of feed table

Long side of the feed table

Ribs

Figure 3.12
The feed table should be washed everyday, please pay more attention to the nine ribs and the inner
wall which easily get dirty and influence the strips movement.
Common problems:
The feed table is not installed properly, and the system prompts that the table is not in position.
Please insert the table until it cannot be pushed forward any more.
Even, the strips still cannot move to the proper positions for analysis without any alarms because
one stop slot in the center is not locked, see Figure 3.13. The positions between the feed table and
the gear are shown in Figure 3.14. To solve this problem, please pull out the waste box and push
inward slightly. Please pay attention that do not press at the hand side to prevent the front of the
waste box become upward.

UA-600 Urine Analyzer Service Manual (1.0) 3-11

Components

Figure 3.13

Figure 3.14
Another common problem is the strips are not in proper position since the feed table is seriously
contaminated causing the strips cannot be moved smoothly (see the figure below). This may cause
incoreect results and the system prompts “Strips error”. Solution: Clean the feed table, especially the
inner wall and the rib.

3.7. Waste Paper Box

The waste paper box is used to collect the used strips, and about 200 used strips can be stored (this
number may changes because the strips pile up in random.) To prevent damages to the device
caused by the contamination and the humidity, it is suggested to clean the waste box everyday.

With a set of infrared receiving and transmitting photoelectric sensor, the device detects whether the
waste box is full. See Figure 3.17. The system also prompts the waste box is full if the channel is
completely blocked. The humidity and the used strips may contaminate the surface of the receiving
and transmitting photoelectric sensor. If the wrong prompts often occur, please pull out the waste
box and clean its surface using gauze soaked with ethanol. Generally, the receiving end is easily
contaminated.

can be seen and touched. In normal conditions, the service life of the inching switch can meet the
requirement. If “Waste box is not installed” alarm occurs, please push the box inward. If the error
alarm still occurs, please pull out the waste box; push the inching switch manually or using tools to
feel if there is a “make-and-break” feeling. If the system can detect the waste box is in position, then
this problem is caused by the poor connection. Try to compress the switch to ensure the proper
connection. Then the problem can be solved. If the method mentioned above cannot solve this

problem, please open the device case and find the inching switch, use an universal meter to test the
two terminals. If they are connected, the switch is not damaged, the problem maybe caused by the
poor connection or other failures. If they are not connected, the switch should be replaced.
If the switch cannot be replaced immediately, users can turn off this switch through the software first
to avoid such mistake alarms. The users must install the waste box in a proper position and dispose
the used strips in time to avoid any accumulation which any damage the device.

influencing the test precision.
2. Often use soft and dry cloth to clean the analyzer.If dirt is found on the surface of the
analyzer, clear it with fresh water.Do not use gasoline, diluted paint, benzene compounds,
alcohol and other organic solvents, which may cause the analyzer to deform or fade, thus
influencing the system performance and appearance.
3. Use clear soft dry cloth or soft paper instead of water to clean the LCD screen.
4. In view of the properties of strips, do not use it at too high or too low temperature to ensure
accurate results. The ideal operating temperature is within 10°C ~30°C.

5.1.1.Feed table
It is important to keep the feed table clean and prevent the device to deform. Please refer to the
instructions of the feed table.

6.1. List of Errors

When some or all functions of the analyzer cannot work normally due to system failure or
misoperation by the operator, an error message will be displayed. The following table shows all error
messages, including error code, error description, and solutions.

Error Code Descriptions Solution

E01 System software error The system memory is error and the the program or

part of the program is lost, which causing the device

cannot be worked normally. Please try to upgrade the

software. If the upgrade is failed, it is suggected to

replace the lower main board or contact the

manufacturer.

E02 System data error The stored system check and calibration data is lost.

The analyzer cannot work. Please contact

manufacturer for repairing.

E11 Conveyor belt motion Conveyor belt motions malfunction. The signal

error deteced by the gear sensor is not correct. Generally,

the long gear period indicates that the motion

becomes slower or uneven. Check if there is any

abnormal sound during the belt motion, whether the

motion is obstructed regularly, and whether the

internal of device (especially the strips transmission

part) is contaminated or not. If no, please contact the

manufacturer.

E12 Strip sensor error Strips are placed and moved normally, but the

confirmation sensor cannot detect the strips. Open

the upper and the lower case to check if the sensor is

in the correct position, whether the cables are

connected properly. Take a strip to move near the

E21 Test head origin error Open the upper and the lower case to check if the

scan origin sensor is in correct position, and whether

the cables are connected properly. If there are no

such problems, power on the device and observe the

test head movement. Normally, the shelter should be

stopped when it passes through the middle position

of the sensor slot. If it is not stopped, the sensor may

be out of work. Please perform further testing. Use a

proper object bigger than the shelter to shield the

sensor in a larger area and observe after powering on

the device. If the motor stops (indicates that the

shelter does not shield the sensor), please adjust the

position and try again. If the results are the same, the

sensor should be replaced. Please contact the
