2.1.1. Counting chamber with electrodes and measuring aperture

Impedance method is used for determination of volume and number of cells. In this method a
known volume of dilution is drawn through a small aperture. Constant current is passed
through the aperture from one side to the other. When a cell passes through the aperture, it
causes a change in resistance, which generates a voltage pulse.
The amplitude of the voltage pulse is proportional to the ratio of cell volume per aperture
volume. This is used to determine the volume of cells. The number of cells can be obtained
by counting the pulses.
In the instruments there is one cell-counter probe: the aperture size is 80 µm and has a
reference electrode assembly and U-shaped metal fixing as it is shown in the figure below.
Assembled Cell-counter Probe
Measuring tube
O-ring
Aperture (80µm)
U-shaped metal fixing
Measuring tube Reference electrode
The aperture is made of ruby and it is molded into the measuring tube.
2.1.2. HGB Head

Hemoglobin head is placed around the measuring chamber in all instruments.
It contains: light source (LED) at 540 nm wavelength and Photo Detector (TSL235). The
Photo Detector converts the light to frequency. The HGB concentration is a logarithmic
function of this frequency measured by
• the FPGA circuit of the COMB card in AJ/AJvet
• the micro-controller of the MAIN board in AJB
Connection to the amplifier
LED TSL235
The analyzers perform enhanced Hemoglobin measurement technology for HGB

measurement. The output of HGB head is frequency (TSL235 detector is light to frequency
converter). This signal is counted by a digital counter in the FPGA circuit/micro-controller.
This counter counts up while the LED is on and counts down while the LED is off, the LED
and the counter directions are switched with a 100 Hz signal. This method provides “real time
backlight correction”, which makes the HGB measurement more precise in changing
backlight environment situation as well.
There are two kinds of HGB measurements:
• Sample measurement (before RBC counting)
• Diluent measurement (in WBC washing phase)
The HGB result is calculated from these measurements by:
HGB ≅ log (CNTdiluent light / CNTsample light)
Due to enhanced HGB technology, junior is less sensitive to incident light changes.
It is recommended to keep side door closed during measurements.
2.1.3. Cell counter Amplifier Board

Amplifier board includes its own voltage regulator, connection interfaces to HGB head, to
high voltage board and to COMB in AJ/AJvet (to MAIN in AJB). In this board there is a
current generator circuit, which works from 50V measuring voltage (generated by High
Voltage Board) and the probe voltage (DC) is amplified with a voltage follower (output: ELV).
Nominal measuring current is 870 µA.
Amplifier board includes one input connector for the chamber (measuring electrode). There
are two opto switches (U1, U3) to connect high voltage to the probe with HSW signal and
isolate the input of the amplifier. Test circuit makes possible to generate test pulses (with
TEST and PLS signals through FETs) for checking the proper operation of the amplifier
channel.
Connection to:
CSA1 on COMB (AJ/AJvet)
CS_IMP on MAIN (AJB)
Connection Connection to:

to HVB CSA1 on COMB (AJ/AJvet)
CS_ANALOG on MAIN (AJB)
Amplifier board includes a 3-stage main amplifier channel, which gains input signal to the
0...5 V range (this is the input range of the A/D converter, which is placed on the COMB
card). The RSW signal changes the gain (RBC, WBC) in the feedback of the second
amplifier stage with U2 (MAX319) analog switch. There is an offset potentiometer, P1 in the
third amplifier stage, manufacturer sets the correct offset voltage.
Adjust the offset voltage only in case it is out of the +/- 5mV range.
10 Diatron Ltd. 2004
DHON signal (from the COMB board - AJ/AJvet; from the MAIN board - AJB) switches on
the LED and the MVON signal – which is active during counting – switches off the Photo
Detector in the HGB head, to prevent noise generated by the HGB detector.
The other side of the amplifier board contains special connectors for the chamber and the
HGB head (JP4).
2.1.4. Control and Measurement Board (COMB) with Dimm-PC core - AJ/AJvet
The compact COMB incorporates a single PC and its environmental functions, as well as the
specific measurement processing functions in one board.

PC system of the COMB board is based on the Dimm-PC module, which is a credit card size
PC with AMD Elan SC520 133 MHz micro-controller. Dimm-PC itself contains 16 or 32Mbyte
RAM and same size of SanDisk that acts like a hard disk. Dimm-PC module is easily
replaceable as it has an open socket (it has also a screw for safe fixing). COMB card
contains single ICs and some drivers/protection-circuits for the interfaces such as LPT,
COM1, PS2, USB, IDE, Floppy and Speaker.
Measurement processing is based on FPGA circuit. After power on, FPGA holds the Dimm-
PC in wait state (with –IOCHRDY signal) until the PIC configures the FPGA circuit from the
IDEPROM (status LED is red during configuration). After that the FPGA controls the entire
pneumatic system through the Pneumatic I2C bus, the Keyboard and Display module with
video RAM for MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter) emulation, and Start button & status
LED. FPGA circuit also performs measurement data acquisition by using the 10-bit A/D chip.
FPGA makes digital data processing and stores the results in the internal FIFO memory. Cell
parameters are sent to the Dimm-PC by single DMA cycles.
2.1.5. Dimm-PC* Module – AJ/AJvet

The MB4 board incorporates a credit-card sized PC, named Dimm-PC*. The processor on
the Dimm-PC is a 133MHz Pentium-class core, with 32Mbytes on-board RAM, and 32Mbytes
on-board SanDisk. This is the HDD (hard disk drive) of the analyzer, so instrument software
with all user settings, calibration, database, etc. is stored on the Dimm-PC.

Valve driver section is based on the valve driver PIC micro-controller and two 8-bit, powered
output shift registers (with built in protection diodes) and there is one common ribbon cable
connection for the valve boards. The peristaltic pump has a separated Darlington driver
circuit for more reliable operation.
2.1.8. Opto-boards for stepper motors

There are six stepper motors in the system: Horizontal and Vertical motors, which make the
movements of the sampling needle; the main Dilutor motors (2), which move the syringes
(macro, lyse, rinse); the micro Dilutor motor, which drives the sampling phase and the motor
moving the sample rotor. The stepper motor opto boards make the connections between the
motor driver ICs and motors, and have opto switches for the motor’s home and end
positions. The actual status of the stepper motor’s optos is indicated by two LEDs on each
stepper motor opto boards.
Dilutor and Micro-dilutor have its own separated opto-board, located directly in the units.
Horizontal and Vertical motors and the sample rotor unit have a common Opto-board, called
XYOpto Board:
LEDs for Sample rotor Connections for Hoirizontal &

Vertical motors
Opto switches & LEDs for Horizontal motor Opto switches & LEDs for Vertical motor
The other side of the board contains the connection for the Sample rotor and a ribbon cable
connection to the COMB (AJ/AJvet) or to the MAIN board (AJB).

voltage (150V), and measuring voltage (50V). The high voltage board is connected to the
system through the amplifier board and the COMB card. This unit contains INVC191 inverter,
which is a high voltage, high frequency circuit producing suitable voltage for CCFL (cold
cathode fluorescent lamp) of the LCD.
The CFSW digital signal (from the COMB card) controls HVB: logical LOW turns inverter on.
The MVON digital signal (from the COMB card) switches the measuring voltage (50 V) on/off
by O1 opto switch.
Warning! Be careful with servicing this board in active state, because the high
voltage (300V) at LCD lamp connector can cause damages or electric shock.
Never operate the analyzer without the LCD backlight connected to the HVB,
because the over-voltage on the output of the HVB can damage the HVB board and
the amplifier.

In Abacus Junior B, we needed a new high voltage board, because in this instrument there’s
no need for the inverter on the previous HVB (the alphanumeric display has no CCFL
backlight), but the measuring and cleaning voltage generation based on the inverter’s high
voltage. That’s why we developed HVB v2.1, which is still capable to carry and feed the
inverter, but the board has its own high voltage generation circuitry, so can be used without
the inverter placed on it.
HVB v2.1:

the power supply is a standard 3-terminal plug, with power cable connection; the output is a
special, lockable socket as it is shown in the picture.
2.1.18. MAIN board - AJB

MAIN board is responsible to control the instrument: contains the main power regulator
circuits, valve and motor driver circuits and other connections for the fluidic and pneumatic
system’s parts, responsible for the specific measurement processing functions.
The board also contains two 24FC256 serial E2PROMs, which store the settings and identity
information of the instrument (Serial Number, OEM, model, etc.) and the measurement
database.
The central micro-controller with a CPLD and with several other digital chips (buffers,
decoder, multiplexer) handles the pneumatic system, displaying, measurement and data
management.
Power system: filtering the +12V Input and generates +3.3V (CPLD), +5V (Digital power),
+8V (Printer power). Filtered +12V is used for the power of motors and valves.
Motor drivers: 6 power drivers; Horizontal, Vertical and Sample rotor motors have one
combined ribbon cable connection. Main Dilutor (with two motors) and Micro-dilutor have
separated connectors.
Valve driver: consists two 8-bit, powered output shift registers (with built in protection diodes)
and there is one common ribbon cable connection for the valve boards. The peristaltic pump
has a separated Darlington driver circuit for more reliable operation.
Real Time Clock: for TIME/DATE functions; powered by Battery at switched off state.
Measurement processing: the A/D conversion made by the micro-controller itself, but several
preprocessing steps (time limits, noise handling, pulse integration) taken by the external
analog circuitry.
External communication through RS232 makes possible to update the firmware of the micro-
controller with an external PC.

present for the AJvet model only.
2.2.1. Sample rotor

Abacus junior / Abacus junior vet / Abacus junior B hematology Analyzers has a sample
rotor for safety and more precise sample handling. Commonly used sample tubes are
supported by replaceable tube adapters.
The Sample rotor unit uses a stepper motor, connected to the PPB (AJ/AJvet) or to the
MAIN board (AJB), through the XY opto board. The rotor has micro switches for positioning.
The unit blocks itself in the home and end position with mechanical parts and has a special
cap that prevents the damage of the electronic and mechanic parts caused by any fluid.
Sample rotor is maintenance-free.
Replaceable tube adapter Micro switches for positioning
2.2.2. Sampling needle

Sampling needle is assembled in the H&V moving unit and it makes the sample aspirations.
Correct setting of sampling needle is necessary and very important (see Chapter
Adjustments).
2.2.3. Washing head

Washing head is located at the bottom of the H&V moving unit and it is for cleaning the outer
surface of the sampling needle. This washing process is made with diluent reagent and the
fluid is drained by the pump. The arrows on the picture show the direction of diluent flow
during sampling needle washing.
Clean diluent
Pump to waste
Clean or replace washing head yearly, or after 10 000 measurements.

2.2.4. H&V moving unit
All three instruments use the same H&V moving unit.

This unit contains slides to move the sample sampling needle in Horizontal and Vertical
directions, two stepper motors, XYR opto board, opto wheel, washing head and the sampling
needle. It moves the needle to the desired position: from sampling position, to washing head,
and to the measuring chamber.

Both stepper motors have optical end-switch sensors for detecting these positions. These
are required for correct initialization and error detection. All sensors have status LEDs to
show actual conditions.
The Vertical motor works with a special opto wheel for detecting home & end positions. See
the Adjustment section of this manual to place this wheel to the proper position.
Greasing of the horizontal/vertical guiding rods should be done regularly using

“Photorub”, a PTFE-based thin lubricant.
It is recommended to check and repeat greasing of guiding rods every year, or after
10000 measurements.
2.2.5. Main Dilutor

In case of AJ and AJB this unit includes two dilutor channels – one for diluent, and another
one for lyse reagents. (There’s another channel for Rinse in the AJvet model). There are two
stepper motors, a common motor opto board, three (AJ/AJB) or four (AJvet) syringes and
piston rods with gear transmission.
Maintenance should be provided to the piston tips, by applying neutral silicon

grease to the cogged end of the Macro and Lyse pistons, between the syringe and
the tip itself. This will ensure optimum sealing and longer lifetime of piston tips.
Greasing of the cogged transmission parts (cogwheel and cogged bar) should be
done regularly using machine grease.
It is recommended to check and repeat greasing of piston tips, and transmission

gear every year, or after 10000 measurements.

2.2.7. Puffer reservoir

The glass puffer reservoir is directly connected to the pressure sensor.
During measurement, there is no pump activity, so the puffer reservoir maintains measuring
vacuum stable. The instrument measures atmospheric pressure and adjusts measuring
vacuum according to it.
2.2.8. Pump
Pump generates regulated vacuum and drains the fluidic system. It is connected to the PPB
(AJ/AJvet) or to the MAIN board (AJB) and it has its own driver circuit (Darlington).
If the tube of the peristaltic pump becomes worn, it can be broken, causing Pressure error.
It is recommended to check the state of the tube, and replace it every 2 years, or
after 20 000 measurements. Always replace the peristaltic pump tube to the same
PharMed® type, with the same length.
For servicing the tube of the pump, open the peristaltic pump from its top (see picture) and
remove the tube together with the white plastic side wall (see picture):
In case of damaged tubes, it can be replaced by a new one by opening the two metal locks
located at the two ends of the tube (see picture).

3.2. Initialization of the Fluidic System

Fluidic initialization process performs the following steps:
• Checking of valves by turning all on/off
• Checking of pump and pressure sensor by generating measuring vacuum
• Positioning all mechanical components by scanning moving range (with end-
switches)
• Priming of reagents and calibrating reagent sensors
• Cleaning of tubing & measuring chamber
• Cleaning of aperture with high-pressure back-flush, cleaner reagent & high-voltage
burning
3.3. Sampling process

The aspirating needle aspirates 25 µl (50 µl in prediluted mode) of blood sample. The Micro-
dilutor syringe makes the aspirating while the M4 Micro-dilutor motor moves down.

There is also another sampling process for the second (RBC) dilution, 25 µl of primary
dilution is aspirated by the sampling needle from the chamber but it is kept in the sampling
needle during the WBC measurement and the cleaning process.
3.4. Needle washing process

Both instruments clean the sampling needle with diluent in the washing head after sampling.
It is important to clean the outer surface of the sampling needle to avoid inaccurate sampling.
The Macro syringe doses and the pump drains the diluent from the washing head, while the
sampling needle moves upwards so that the total length of it is washed and cleaned. This
process is called total sampling needle washing, and it is mainly used after taking primary
sample from sample tube.
Another process, which is washing only a smaller part of the sampling needle, is the same
but the needle does not move in the total length. Some procedures perform this kind of
sampling needle washing.

The Macro syringe pushes the diluent through V8 (Off), V7 (Off), V6 (On). The Pump
aspirates the diluent from the washing head through V5 (On), while the M2 Vertical motor
moves the sampling needle up.
3.5. Diluting process

The parts of the fluidics are rinsed with diluent reagent. The measuring chamber is filled up
with 1 ml of diluent. This method prevents the chamber from dirt and makes the diluting
process faster.
The sampling process has aspirated 25 µl of sample, which is in the sampling needle. In the
first diluting step the sample is dispensed into the measuring chamber with 3 ml of diluent,
which comes from the Macro syringe through V8 (On) and Micro-dilutor, while the M3 Dilutor
motor moves upwards. This process makes the 1:160 first dilution rate in the chamber.

dilution into the chamber after these processes.
3.6. Lysing process

In this step the set lysing reagent is added into the measuring chamber through V9 (On),
while the Lyse syringe moves upwards. This process makes the WBC/HGB dilution with lyse
reagent.

3.7. Counting process
The regulated vacuum (it is generated by the pump in the puffer reservoir) aspirates the
diluted sample (WBC or RBC) from the chamber through V2 (On) valve. There is no volume
limiter in the system, the instrument counts the cells for 8 seconds in both counting phases
(WBC and RBC).

existence of cleaner solution.
3.10. Shutdown process

The fluidic shutdown performs the following steps:
• Priming chamber with reagent to avoid drying out of aperture
• Sampling needle is positioned above counting chamber, needle up
• Lyse and Rinse syringes are positioned up
• Diluent syringes are positioned down
• Sample rotor moved out
4. ADJUSTMENT
Mechanical and hardware adjustments are described in this section. Software settings are
included in Section 5.2.
4.1. Mechanical settings

There are two important mechanical settings in the system:
• Opto wheel setting (Vertical motor)
• Sampling needle setting
The manufacturer adjusts the analyzer during production. However, in case of
repairs in the mechanical system, these adjustments should be checked. The
omission of these settings can cause malfunction or damages to the instrument.
4.1.1. Opto wheel setting

This setting is necessary for the vertical motor movements because this adjustment sets the
opto end-switches of the H&V moving unit. The top of this block is called HV head and it is
shown in the figure below.
Set the distance to 1-2 mm between the moving

carriage and the stable part of the head.
Loose „A” screws to allow free movement of the timing
belt. Screw „B”
Adjust the opto wheel to home position, i.e. home hole
must be in home sensor, and LED corresponding to Screw „A”
home opto sensor goes on.
Fasten „A” screws.
Opto wheel
End opto
End hole

Check the end position as well: move the needle down. Adjustment is successful if end LED
goes on before moving part reaches end of mechanical range.
Once this adjustment is necessary, never miss sampling needle setting described in the next
section.
4.1.2. Sampling needle setting

This adjustment sets the sampling needle to the operational position.
In Service menu, in Miscellaneous submenu of AJ/AJvet and in Service menu of AJB select
Needle setting.
The software moves the needle back and up, and turns on horizontal and vertical motors
(AJ/AJvet) to keep needle in place. AJB holds only the vertical motor during needle setting.
Sampling needle
Bottom plane of
Teflon stuffing ring
washing head
Tubes to/from the

Check the setting of the needle. If end of the needle is at the bottom of the washing head,
needle is set correctly. If not, open screws “B” (see above), and adjust the needle to the
bottom of the washing head. Fasten “B” screws.

5.3.5. Service Calibration

The analyzer provides a menu for Service calibration purposes.
In result calculations the service calibration factors are used as the user calibration factors,
so they are multiplied for each parameter: RBCDisp. = FactRBC User * FactRBC Serv. * RBCMeasured
If the user factor is near the bound (0.80 - 1.20), by setting the corresponding service factor,
the user factor can be adjusted to 1.00.
Example: Fact RBC User = 1.19 and Fact RBC Serv = 0.96, and
Fact RBC User = 1.00 and Fact RBC Serv = 1.14 gives the same result for RBC.
Apply user calibration factors function is used to combine user and service calibration
factors. The software will multiply the existing factors, and move them to the Service level to
set user factors to 1.00.

6. SERVICE OPERATION
6.1. Opening the instrument

On the right side and the rear side of both instruments there is a side door, which allows
reaching of the fluidic system and the mechanical parts. Other parts of the analyzer
(electronic parts, etc.) can be reached by opening the front and rear covers.
• How to take off the rear cover:
First unscrew the 5 cover fixing screws located on the rear panel, 2 screws on the upper side
and 3 screws on the vertical side. After this, pull the cover backwards a few centimeters to
release sliding locks, and then you can turn it upwards to take it off completely. In this way
you will be able to reach the electronics: COMB and PPB (AJ/AJvet), or MAIN board (AJB).
In AJ/AJvet, do not forget that you can take them off only if you take off IDEPROM Card first.
• How to take off the front cover:
First unscrew the 2 screws located on right and left part of the upper side and the 3 screws
located on the bottom side. After this, pull the cover towards you to take it off.
6.2. MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter) emulation mode –

AJ/AJvet
MDA emulation mode was developed to help the manufacturer and Service Personnel in the
checking phase of the instruments. This mode is available during the total operation but
especially useful for checking the BIOS setup and OS functions. This mode should be
handled the same as the service menu, the user does not have to know these options.
At power-on, the controller PIC display module displays the greeting screen. After 6 seconds,
it starts to scan the keypad and behaves like an MDA adapter to the PC, although the
displayed screen is still holding the greeting screen.
If you switch to MDA emulation mode, the system boot events can be displayed, and the
CMOS SETUP program can be started, if necessary.
If the main program will not start in 90 seconds, the PIC will automatically switch to MDA
displaying mode to give information about the reason of hang-up. This can be some CMOS
failure, if the motherboard settings are lost for some reason, and the system is waiting for
user confirmation: F1 on external keyboard, or running setup - both require external
keyboard to be connected.
Hold the „i” button, and press and release the „.” button on the foil keyboard of the analyzer
to activate the MDA mode, which uses the LCD like a primary computer monitor (80
characters by 25 rows). The LCD is smaller than the standard monitor area therefore just
about a quarter of the total screen is displayed (40 characters by 16 rows).
− to change the actual quarter displayed,

Quarter 1 on LCD Quarter 2 on LCD
use the arrows (cursor keys) on the
keypad,
− to find the cursor, press the „i” button,
− to go back to the normal graphic
displaying mode press „i .” again.

6.7. Error messages – AJ/AJvet

The analyzer checks the operations of several mechanic, fluidic and electronic parts during
measurement. The system shows the type of the error on the LCD display if any kind of
malfunction is detected.
The electronic parts have a very little chance to fail, only the connections and cables could
disconnect, which can cause the malfunction of the electronic system. The mechanic and
fluidic system have a bit more chance to go wrong because it has moving parts.
In 6.7.1 section there is the total error code list.

Step error: the motor moves to either of end switches. This should be done within a
specified number of steps, but it failed, due to one of the reasons:
− Mechanics is jammed, so that movement is not possible
− The corresponding opto sensor is bad
− Connector of the erroneous motor is off.
Range error: the motor moves specified number of steps, and it should not have reached
one of the end switches, but it did. Possible reasons:
− Mechanics is partly jammed, or blocked, so that the previous movement was shorter
− Connector of the erroneous motor is off.
Always check reagent tubing for blockage or clogging if MDilu or Mlyse range/step error.
Distance error: number of steps from home opto to end opto is too low.
6.9. Possible Causes of Noise

Generally high count of any particle - even if you think it should be low, or near zero - can be
caused by NOISE, i.e. something interferes with measurement.
The most important thing in these cases to identify the source of NOISE, otherwise you
cannot protect the system against it.
NOISE can come from has several sources, and the different NOISE sources are added.
Sometimes we have to fight one of them, but sometimes more. Only one of them is enough
to make problem.
6.9.1. Contaminated reagent

The most probable cause: real particles are in the reagent, and therefore the PLT blank is
continuously high (e.g. always 30-40). You can easily sort out this case by replacing
diluent by opening a new tank. PLT blank must go down is several blank measurements
(below 10).
How can a good reagent become bad by time?
− If the reagent tube was contaminated, and some bacteria begin to grow inside, once you
put an infected reagent tube into a new tank, by time it can become infected as well, i.e.
the background (PLT blank) becomes high. Wash the reagent tube - which is in
connection with the reagent - with 1% of bleach solution, then rinse with clean distilled
water or diluent. It can avoid the bacteria to grow inside.
− If tank is open – and cap is not installed or closed - external dust can make reagent dirty.
6.9.2. Bad earth grounding

In this case external - ground referenced - noise can get into the system by ground
coupling. If system ground is not good enough, ground terminal can become a noise source
as well, i.e. external signals will be coupled into the system instead of protecting it.
If no earth ground is available, you can use a screw at the rear panel to connect a ground
potential to the case, so that noise immunity can be increased.
Measure voltage on ground terminal to make sure earth grounding is correct. AC voltage
lower than 1V is accepted in this case.
At some places - as a bad practice - electricians like to connect earth ground terminal to
neutral wire. Depending on the resistance of the neutral back wire (where it is really earthed),
several volts can appear, and this way any inductive noise will be coupled into the
instrument. It is better to create a real earth grounding and connecting it to the rear screw.
6.9.3. External electrical noise

If another instrument is near the analyzer can radiate electromagnetic signals in the 1 kHz -
100 kHz frequency region it can be picked up by the system (especially if they are very close
to each other, or the grounding is not quite perfect).
You can easily identify this noise source: by relocating the instrument noise (high PLT blank)
disappears. In this case you have to identify the possible noise source (switch mode power
supplies, computer monitors, since they are not shielded, centrifuges due to high switching
noise of rotor contacts, etc.), the power of the electromagnetic source, because if high power
is present, maybe relocation does not solve your problems, sometimes the electric power
supply makes the coupling, so UPS solves the problem.
Another source of coupling in external noise can be the reagent tanks and tubes. Especially
radio transmitters can cause problems of radiating so that even the reagents (diluent) guides
in the noise. A metal pack for the diluent tank, then a good earth grounding of this metal box
allows this coupling to disappear forever.
6.9.4. Internal noise sources

The most annoying but real cause is some sort of internal noise. The reason for this
phenomenon is that inside electrode - hot point - of the measuring circuit must be well
insulated from surrounding electronics, otherwise inside noise sources can take their effect.
A. Bad chamber insulation:

− bad shielding of the chamber (floating shield couples signals to the chamber, and does
not prevent against them). Check grounding of shield, remove it and clean the surface
between the shield and the metal base.
− bad reference electrode connection (floating ground reference). Repair is required.
− bad sealing of aperture. Replacement of measuring tube is required.
− broken measuring chamber starts to conduct through the gaps (ground path).
Replacement of chamber is required.
− contaminated draining tube starts to conduct due to protein or lipid build-up. It is very
easy to identify this case. After replacing the drain tube of the measuring chamber
(mainly WBC), WBC histogram peak, or PLT becomes low soon. Normally a good
cleaner is required to dissolve lipid or protein build-up. Sometimes the cleaner is not
strong enough to keep this tube clean enough. Periodic washing using 1% hand warm
bleach solution helps.
B. Bad insulation of electronic signal paths:

In these cases check for any capacitive coupling of electronic signals to the chamber:
− interference with HGB head (high-frequency signal is coupled to the chamber). HGB
head metal parts must be grounded. The ground comes externally, it must be in place,
otherwise HGB head does not shield, but couples in noise.
− interference with internal high voltage inverter (high-frequency signal is coupled to
the chamber). Repair is required: avoid near contact of HVB cable to chamber or
shielded amplifier cable.
− interference with internal start button (polling signal to start button may cause noise).
Guide start button wires as far from chamber as possible. You may try mix them up on
the start micro-switch if applicable.
− interference with display cable (high-frequency LCD signal is coupled to the chamber
by the ribbon cable). Keep the ribbon cable far from the chamber.
− interference with CPU fan or other digital logic traces (CPU fan or other digital signal
radiates to chamber or to the shielded amplifier cable). Try keeping the ribbon cables far
from the chamber and shielded cable.
C. Bad components, or connections:

− bad soldering, salt residuals or component failure on amplifier (especially if some
reagent could get in the amplifier section). Cleaning of PCB/electrode socket or
replacement of amplifier is required. Check for the correct soldering of reference cable
and its connector.
− circuit board bad soldering or component failure. Check the shielded cable
connections as well. Sometimes inside out connection (hot electrode goes outside as a
shield) is the problem: both ends of amplifier signal cable must be reversed.
− analog signal ribbon cable (it picks up noise). Check the ribbon cable between the
circuit board and the amplifier. Maybe it is pinched under some screws or components.
This may cause trouble and even noise.
D. Pneumatic failures, liquid paths that conduct noise into the chamber:
− liquid remains under the chamber in drain tube (during measurement the conducting
liquid remains inside the drain tube making noise to appear there).
Check chamber draining path for clogging or salt crystals.
Check the pump operation. Since draining of the chamber goes under pressure
control, maybe a bad pressure sensor or connection can cause trouble.
Clean the draining path. Do not use alcohol, but bleach. Replace chamber if
necessary.
− liquid remains in the washing inlet at top of the chamber (during measurement the
conducting liquid remains inside the chamber wash tube making noise to appear). The
software is not compatible with the mechanics, or related valve is bad/partly clogged, or
the tubing is clogged/loose.
− lyse path guides in noise (during counting, if the a liquid in the draining tube is touching
lyse reagent in T-fitting, noise can appear). Check the lyse path, and the lyse valve as
well.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. Weekly Maintenance by User
User should carry out on the first workday, before starting up the analyzer.
7.1.1. Cleaning the washing head

User should clean the lower surface of the sampling needle washing head using a
soft cloth, immersed in warm tap water to remove salt build-up.
7.2. Periodic Maintenance by Service

The instruments should be checked and maintenance must be carried out in every 6-
12 months, or after 10 000 measurement cycles.
7.2.1. Check Self test and Device statistics

Run the built-in Self test and check the overall test result. Check the device statistics
to find common problems.
7.2.2. Cleaning and Greasing Dilutor Block

The dilutor block driving wheels and gear bar should be cleaned from dirt and must
be greased between the gear bar and the support, and between cogged wheels.
7.2.3. Checking and Lubricating Dilutor Piston Tips

The cogged end of PTFE dilutor pistons should be cleaned and lubricated by neutral
silicon grease. Apply just a thin layer, and move it along the perimeter of the piston,
so that some of the material goes into the gaps between the sealing rings.
Repeat this step for lyse and dilutor pistons as well. Check the condition of the micro
piston sealing, and replace if necessary.
7.2.4. Cleaning and Lubricating Needle Moving Mechanics

The H&V moving mechanics sliding bars should be cleaned from dust.
Lubricating of the sliding bars must be made using „Photorube” oil containing PTFE.
Grease or pure lubricating oil is not suitable.
7.2.5. Checking and Replacing Washing Head

Check the state of the washing head, and replace if necessary. After replacing
washing head, do not forget to perform correct adjustment of sampling needle height
(see Section 4.1.2).
7.2.6. Checking and Replacing Peristaltic Pump Tube

Replace peristaltic pump tube if needed. You can check it by opening the lock, and
removing the tube for inspection.
Check for leakage of the tubing. Reassemble the head.
Warning! Be careful, DO NOT twist the tube while reposition it into the head,
because it will cause malfunction in a very short period of time.
7.2.7. Checking of the Power Supply

Open the instrument for regular cleaning inside. Check the cleanliness and operation
of the cooling fan of the power supply. Clean or replace the fan if necessary.
7.2.8. Bleaching of Fluidic System

It is recommended to run a bleaching procedure to remove stains from the fluidic
system.
1. Connect 2-5%, hand warm, clean bleach solution to all reagent inputs, and perform
priming on all reagent inputs.
2. Leave it in the tubing for not more than 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove the bleach, prime on air.
4. Connect distilled water (100 ml), and perform priming all reagents, again.
Connect reagents, and run priming again.

9.2. Serial Communication Protocol
9.2.1. General Description

The analyzer is able to make serial connection link to a receiver device (e.g. computer)
connected to the serial port. If Baud Rate setting in Service Menu is set to a valid value
(other than Not Connected), the instrument will try to initiate a communication sequence.
Once the analyzer starts serial communication, the receiver should respond to it.
The hardware protocol: 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity. If the other side is not responding in
1 second, the instrument will repeat the transmission twice, but if there is still no response,
the other side will be supposed to be not ready to receive data, and thus the analyzer will not
try to communicate any more.
From this state it can wake up by receiving an <ENQ> (ASCII code 5) character from the
other side, and the instrument will immediately respond an <ACK> (ASCII code 6). From this
point the instrument will send data if it is ready for transmission.
The communication is based on packages.
There are 5 package types:
• INIT package: Device identification, software version, current date and time.
• DATA package: Sample and patient information, measured parameters, and markers.
• RBC package: Sample information, RBC histogram.
• WBC package: Sample information, WBC histogram.
• PLT package: Sample information, PLT histogram.
The communication sequence is always started with an INIT package. If the link is
successful, the instrument will send DATA package, and the receiver can request RBC, WBC
and PLT packages at acknowledge.
Special characters used in the communication:
Character ASCII code

<SOH> 1
<STX> 2
<ETX> 3
<EOT> 4
<ENQ> 5
<ACK> 6
<HT> 9
<LF> 10
<NAK> 21
<SPACE> 32
9.2.2. Format of Packages Sent

Packages sent by the analyzer are always between <SOH> and <EOT> characters, and they
consist of header, data and tail. The header consists of a package identifier and a package
type descriptor. The tail includes the checksum. Typical format:
<SOH>MID CMD<STX>MESSAGE<ETX>CHKSUM<EOT>
MID: Message ID, one capital letter between ’A’ and ’Z’
CMD: Command, one capital letter, package type descriptor
• ’I’ for INIT;
• ’D’ for DATA;
• ’R’ for RBC;
• ’W’ for WBC;
• ’P’ for PLT.
MESSAGE: the message consists of ASCII characters (between 32..128)
CHKSUM: two hexadecimal digits of a one-byte checksum which contains
the lower byte of the sum of characters between the <SOH>
and <ETX> (incl. those, too).
9.2.3. Format of Acknowledge of the Receiver

The receiver must acknowledge transmission by the following message:
<ACK>CMD MID
CMD: the type of the next package to send – this makes possible to a
request for histograms. If no more packages are required,
<SPACE> should be sent.
MID: the identifier of the package that acknowledged by this
message.
If receiving of the message was not successful, <NAK> should be sent, and the analyzer will
repeat the last package.
The receiver has approx. 1 second to reply, otherwise the analyzer will repeat the last
transmission, twice automatically. But if still no response after 3 trials, the analyzer will not
start to communicate any more, even if there is data to send (see General Description).
9.2.4. Detailed Description of Packages

The packages sent by the analyzer are placed between a header and a tail. There are 3
main types of them: INIT, DATA and histogram packages. The histogram package can be:
RBC, WBC, and PLT. The format of histograms are the same, type descriptor differs only.
INIT package
Analyzer sends the general identifiers by this package during initiation of communication:
DEVICE<HT>VERSION<HT>DATE<HT>TIME
DEVICE: device identifier
VERSION: version of the software, e.g. „1.7”
DATE: date in YYYYMMDD format
TIME: time in HHMMSS format
DATA package
This package contains sample and patient data, the measured parameters and the markers
of histograms. One data element consists of two items: name and value, which are
separated by a <HT> character, and closed by <LF>.
Important! SNO, DATE, TIME, SID and PID fields will always be present in this order, but other
fields may be omitted.
SNO<HT>152<LF> internal identifier

9.3. UPLOADER: Software upgrading tool for Abacus Junior B

This tool allows you to update AJB’s software core, language module, settings and profiles.
In AJB there’s a controller card which has a microcontroller responsible for the instrument
operations. There’s a special part of the microcontroler firmware (a kind of software) which
provides the upgradeability of its core functions. This special part of the firmware is called
boot loader.
For the software update you need:
• Abacus Junior B
• Serial cable (9-pin)
• A PC with Windows OS
• …and the uploader software called ProjectCloud.
Installing Uploader:
1. Create somewhere on your PC’s harddrive a directory for example ABJB.
2. you have to copy thefollowing files into this directory:
ProjectCloud.exe
ProjectCloud.res
borIndmm.dll
CC3250mt.dll
CportLibCB5.bpl
vcl50.bpl
vcbde50.bpl
vcldb50.bpl
3. Create a directory for the source file of the firmware to be updated. The PC’s software
automatically will search for a \HEX directory, so it is not cumpolsory but advisable
name your directory HEX and place it into the installation directory.
Now, we have the following structure:
D:\ABJB:
2004.05.26. 11:59 <DIR> .
2004.05.26. 11:59 <DIR> ..
2004.05.26. 11:55 <DIR> HEX
2000.01.31. 05:00 25600 borlndmm.dll
2000.01.31. 05:00 1496064 cc3250mt.dll
2003.12.11. 16:17 142848 CportLibCB5.bpl
2004.05.26. 12:08 3534 dir.txt
2004.05.25. 14:36 89600 ProjectCloud.exe
2004.04.14. 13:33 876 ProjectCloud.res
2000.01.24. 05:01 2023424 vcl50.bpl
2000.01.24. 05:01 300032 vclbde50.bpl
2000.01.24. 05:01 558080 vcldb50.bpl
4. Place the file to be uploaded into HEX directory

9.3.1. Process of SW download (AJB)

1. At AJB’s POWER OFF state connect the serial cable to the PC’s serial port.
IMPORTANT: Your PC has to be equipped with at least one serial port, which is
enabled by BIOS and Win OS, too. This port must not be used by any other device or
application during the upload process.
2. Switch on the PC (but don’t switch on the instrument!), login to windows and start
projectcloud.exe
3. Now you have to see this:
…the program started with a LOAD dialog. Select the hex file you want to upload and
press Open.
If you press Cancel, the program closes itself.
4. The file loads into the PC’s memory, and right after this it will be preprocessed
(converted into binary format).
5. You don’t need to open(it will be opened automatically) the serial port if all the default
settings of the port are correct.
6. Choose the modules that you would like to upload into AJB.
This section is hierarchical up to down, so if you want to choose „Language” the

„Core” will be selected as well and if you want to select „Settings” the „Core” and the
„Language” modules will be selected as well, and of course if you want to select
„Profil” all the modules will be selected.
7. Click on SEND button.
This will automatically open the serial port and wait for an „Enquery packet” from the
Instrument. So NOW, please switch on the Instrument ! This action has 2 minutes
time out, that you can see under the Cancel button.
8. On the right hand side of the application’s window you will see the message of the
Enquiry packet’s arrival. After this, several seconds needs for the Instrument to free
the memory. Finally, a counter will count down with the addresses of the currently
written target memory.
9. If everything went OK you get an „Done OK” message. The applicaton closes the
serial port automatically and the instrument starts the new firmware.
You get a popup error message if something’s wrong with the communication or the port’s
settings wrong.
You can change the settings of the serial port by clicking the „serial setting” button.
In this application there are only two valid settings:

• baud rate: 115200, parity: None, data: 8, stop:1
• baud rate: 9600, parity: None, data: 8, stop:1
For the ease of usage, this values are highlighted in the window.
If the port is open the changes of settings won’t take effect until you close the port.
Important !
The instrument’s default communication settings are:
baud rate: 115200, parity: None, data: 8, stop:1.
To start the instrument with the slower settings hold down Start Button while you switch on
the instrument.
(baud rate: 9600, parity: None, data: 8, stop:1)
9.3.2. Troubleshooting of SW download (AJB)

If PC and AJB cannot communicate with each other, but everything (cables, program,
settings) seems to be all right…
1. Is COM port disabled by BIOS?
2. Is COM port disabled by the operating system (WIN)?
3. Does the PC’s mother board have IrDA port? On several motherboards if it’s enabled
COM1 turns into COM2 and COM1 will be used by IrDA.
4. Is it a shared IRQ problem in the operating system?
5. Is COM port used by another application/device? Several applications can change
the parameters of the COM port by the PC’s startup.
Fail-safe addresses and IRQ’s for COM ports:
• COM1: 03F8h, 4
• COM2: 02F8h, 3
• COM3: 02E8h, 4
• COM4: 03E8h, 3
If you think that your AJB’s COM port doesn’t function, you can check it with an oscilloscope,
because the instruments serial port sends 10 bytes out on it every time you power on the
system.
• 00: 05
• 01: 117
• 02: 112
• 03: version of the boot loader
• 04: version of the software High byte
• 05: version of the software Low byte
• 06: 00
• 07: 00
• 08: 00
• 09: Checksum
Checksum can be calculated by the following formula:

256- (Low byte of (SUM(00-08 bytes)))
