Introduction
INTRODUCTION TO
WARNINGS / CAUTIONS
This manual contains important information about safe servicing of the
Mark V and Mark V Plus Injection Systems.
Medrad urges the service technician to read this manual carefully,
become familiar with the procedures and system functions that it
describes, and follow its recommendations to assure proper servicing
of the system.
Warning labels on the Mark V and Mark V Plus systems or Warning
statements in this manual preceeded by any of the following words
and/or symbols are of special significance:
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation. If

not avoided, this could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates electrical hazards which could result

in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates potential hazards or unsafe practices

which could cause product, system, or property damage.
NOTE: Indicates helpful information is being offered.
Intended Use
This device is intended to be used specifically for the purpose of injecting intravenous contrast medium into humans, for the purpose of diagnostic studies. DO NOT attempt to use the injector for any other
purpose.
Contraindications
This device is not to be used for drug infusion, chemotherapy, or any

other use for which the device is not indicated.
WARNINGS
Hazardous voltages exist within the Mark V and Mark V

Plus Systems that can shock, burn, or cause death. To
avoid injury, the system should be opened and serviced by
qualified service personnel only. Disconnect the system
from line power before cleaning or attempting to perform
any maintenance or repairs.
Possible explosion hazard in the presence of flammable

anesthetic gases. The Mark V and Mark V Plus systems
are not designed for use in association with anesthetic
gases and equipment.
2-3
WARNINGS
(continued)
Disconnect the patient immediately from the injector if any system malfunction occurs. If a system malfunction message
appears, do not attempt to use the system until the source of the
condition has been identified and corrected by qualified service
personnel. Do not attempt to recreate any fault conditions while
connected to a patient.
Electronic assemblies contain potentially hazardous materials.
Dispose of system components or accessories properly.
Follow all local regulations for the recycling or disposal of
electronic assemblies, or contact Medrad Service for
assistance.
Worn power cords or control cables may shock, injure, or cause
death. Examine power cords and cables for cuts, frays, or any
other visible damage. Do not use the system if any of the cords
or cables show signs of damage. Any damaged or worn connection cables or power cords should be replaced.
Check for proper voltage and frequency before connecting the
injector to an electrical outlet. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage/malfunction. Check the voltage and frequency marked on the back of the unit. Ensure that
the outlet providing power to the injector supplies a voltage, frequency, and volt-ampere rating within the range specified.
Do not immerse any injection components in water or any type
of cleaning solution. Fluid entry into the system may result in a
shock hazard.
2-4
Ensure that the FluiDot labels are clearly visible on all pressure
jackets. FluiDot labels are intended to help in the avoidance of
air embolization, which could result in patient injury or death.
Do not move the injector or pedestal by pulling on the syringe

heater cable. This practice will cause the pivot pin to wear prematurely, and may cause the injector head to fall, resulting in
possible patient or technician injury.
Introduction
CAUTIONS
!
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Failure to follow ESD protection practices may result in equipment damage. To avoid
damage, ESD protection practices must be followed when
servicing any component of this system. If memory components are to be shipped, place the components in conductive
carriers (as supplied at Medrad).
Disconnect the power cord before removing or replacing PC

boards. Sensitive circuits on the boards can be damaged by
abrupt interruption or application of supplies.
Allow system temperature to stabilize before use. When the

system is exposed to an extreme temperature change (heat
or cold), allow it to stabilize to room temperature before servicing.
Use only accessories and options designed specifically for

the Mark V and Mark V Plus systems. To ensure compatibility
and proper operation, do not use an accessory or option
designed for another system.
Perform regular preventive maintenance. To ensure that your

injection system remains properly calibrated, and that all primary and backup circuits are functioning properly, regular
preventive maintenance is recommended. An annual preventive maintenance package (offered in the U.S.A., Canada,
and Europe) is available at an additional cost. Contact your
local Medrad Factory Service Representative for details.
Do not soak or immerse any part of the injection system in
water. Improper or careless cleaning methods may result in
equipment damage. While cleaning any outside portion of the
system, avoid allowing any water to seep inside system components.
Do not short the PPI Card Batteries. Do not place the card or
the batteries on any conductive surface. When checking or
replacing the PPI card batteries, discharge can occur with
even a momentary short.
Do not connect injector head extension cables in parallel.

Connecting the extension cables in parallel, or extending the
total extension length beyond 100 feet (30.5 m), can
adversely effect injector performance and specifications.
NOTE: All relevant institutional, local, or national safety regulations related to cable routing and installation should be
followed.
2-5
CAUTIONS
(continued)
2-6
Do not apply voltage to external start lines if the injector is

being started by an external start connection. Provide only a
switch closure. If the external circuit contains excessive line
frequency noise or voltage transients, injector damage or
malfunction may result.
Do not plug the cord reel connector into the Auxiliary Start
Switch Connector at J13. If not in use, allow the cord reel
connector to remain disconnected. This improper connection
could result in internal equipment damage or malfunction.
The Remote Start Signal from the film changer programmer
(at pins 7 and 9 of J40), must never contain voltage or AC
noise. Any voltage applied to these pins can damage the
injector and void the warranty. An excess of 50 or 60 cycle
AC noise on these lines may cause intermittent problems of
premature, or no injections.
The Remote Start Signal from the film changer programmer
must remain closed throughout the duration of the injection. If
the start signal is removed before the injection volume limits
when armed in the SINGLE mode, the injection will stop, the
unit will disarm, and display PREMATURE TERMINATION
on the Control Panel. If the start signal is removed before the
injection volume limits when armed in the MULTIple mode,
the injection will stop, the Mechanical Stop will reposition at
the selected volume, and the unit will remain armed. If a start
signal is received at this time, an additional injection will
result at the selected Flow Rate and Volume.
When starting the injection process from a remote location by
the use of a relay closure in the film changer programmer,
always install a panic button in series with the start signal.
This function must be provided in the event that the operator
must immediately terminate the injection. This button should
be installed in a convenient location, properly labeled, and
instructions for use provided to all users of the injection system.
Do not apply voltage to ISI connector J40 pins 5,6,7,8 or 9.
Equipment damage or malfunction may result.
Do not connenct the J19/J20 X-ray connector to the J13 Auxiliary Start connector. Equipment damage or malfunction may
result.

Ensure the continued performance of your injector.
Reduce the possibility of equipment malfunction.
Preventive maintenance of the injection system should consist of four

procedures: Inspection, cleaning, performance checks, and leakage
checks. This section contains guidelines, recommended methods,
and expected results for each of these procedures:
1. Inspection: This first step should encompass inspection of the
entire system, looking for obvious signs of damage, such as;
cracks in the housing, frayed or worn cables, missing or damaged
labels, and contrast spills that may have leaked into the injector.
2. Cleaning: This cleaning procedure involves thorough cleaning of
the console and head to remove any deposits of contrast medium.
If any substances have leaked into any part of the unit, the subassembly should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned.
3. Electrical Leakage / Ground Continuity Checks: To ensure the
safety of the patient and hospital personnel in injector operations.
4. Operational Checkout: A complete functional performance checkout of the injection system.
4-1

Recommended
Schedule
Your Mark V or Mark V Plus Injection System must be properly maintained to ensure that it is in peak operating condition. Your individual
maintenance schedule depends upon how your injector is used; the
type of procedures performed, and frequency of use. The following
guidelines represent a suggested maintenance schedule:
Daily:
Before use each day, the system should be inspected, and the piston
rod thoroughly cleaned.
Monthly:
Once a month, the entire system should be thoroughly inspected and
cleaned, and an operational checkout should be performed.
Annually:
Once per year, Electrical Leakage and Ground Continuity checks
should be performed.
NOTE: Local regulations or hospital protocol may require electrical leakage checks at more frequent intervals. If this
applies, local regulations for leakage must be followed.
Medrad also recommends that a complete system calibration and performance checkout, by a qualified Medrad Service Representative, be
performed once a year. Contact Medrad Factory Service, or your local
Medrad office for details.
In the United States, Canada, Europe, and other select areas of the
world, the Medrad Service Department offers Preventive Maintenance
Programs. These annual programs greatly assist in maintaining accuracy and reliability, and can extend the life of the injection system.
Contact Medrad for details. In Europe, contact Medrad Europe B.V., or
your local dealer, for further information. Refer to Section 2 of this
manual for address and telephone numbers.
NOTE: Failures which occur due to lack of proper maintenance, or abuse, will not be covered under warranty.

worn areas.
6. Inspect the Control Panel for cuts or cracks that could allow fluid
to leak inside.
Control Unit
1. Inspect the Control Unit and Control Panel case for cracks that
could allow fluid to leak inside, or weaken the assembly.
2. Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks, or worn spots. Inspect the
plug for cracks, loose prongs, loose wires, or a loose strain relief.
3. Inspect the handswitch and cord: Look for cuts, cracks, or worn
spots in the cable; look for cracks and loose parts in the switch
and housing.
4. Inspect the film changer connector and cord: Look for cuts,
cracks, or worn spots in the cable; look for loose pins, or a loose
strain relief on the connector.
5. Inspect any other cables connected to the control unit: Look for
cuts, cracks, or worn spots in the cables; look for cracks, loose
pins, or loose strain reliefs on the connectors.
Remote Panel
1. Inspect the Remote Unit and Control Panel case for cracks that
could allow fluid to leak inside, or weaken the assembly.
2. Inspect the interface cable for cuts, cracks, or worn spots. Inspect
the connector for cracks, loose prongs, or a loose strain relief.
3. Inspect the handswitch, cord, and connector: Look for cuts,

in the switch, housing, and connector.
4-3

Pedestal Mount
1. Inspect the case and legs for cracks and other defects that could
weaken the structure.
2. Ensure that all mounting bolts and screws are secure.
3. Inspect the connectors on the pedestal for cracks or loose pins.
4. Ensure that the casters roll smoothly, with no binding and scraping.
5. Ensure that the locking mechanism on all locking casters is functional.
Injector Head
Support Arm
The injector head support arm is typically associated with pedestal type
injection systems and free standing injector head stands. Carefully
inspect the areas shown below for any signs of damage.
Figure 4.1: Head Supprt Arm Inspection

The injector head pivot knuckle should rest flat and rotate smoothly on the
support arm. The injector head, or support arm, should not rotate more
than 360 degrees. If either assembly is able to rotate more than 360
degrees, one or more of the stop pins is not properly positioned, or is
missing.
If the stop pins are not in the proper position, the head cable can wrap
around the support arm, causing damage to the head cable, and possibly
lifting the injector head from the support arm. Contact Medrad Factory
Service for support arm replacement information.
4-4
Counterpoise
Systems
1. Inspect all parts of the mounting system for cracks and other
defects that would weaken the assembly.
2. Ensure that the mounting system is securely assembled, with no
loose parts. The system should be stable with the head installed.
3. Ensure that the system moves smoothly in all directions, with no
binding, scraping, or drifting.
4. Verify that all cabling is tied back and does not interfere with the
movement of the supporting parts or the injector head.
NOTE: All relevant guidelines for institutional, local, or national
safety recommendations related to cable routing and
installation should be followed.
Syringe Heater
1. Ensure that the device is warm to the touch.

2. Ensure that the LED indicator is not illuminated or flashing when
installed on the pressure jacket/syringe. The lamp may illuminate
if the syringe heater is not installed on the pressure jacket/syringe.
If the lamp is illuminated while the heater is installed on the pressure jacket/syringe, the heater is too hot and should be replaced.
3. Inspect the cable and connector for cracks, worn areas, loose
pins, or a loose strain relief.
4-5
Cleaning
Procedure
Deposits of contrast media can interfere with proper operation of the

Mark V and Mark V Plus Injection Systems. The following guidelines
should be followed when removing deposits, or cleaning any portion
of the system.
WARNING: Remove the power cord from the power
source before cleaning any part of the system. Failure to
do this could result in the exposure of lethal voltages,
causing injury or death.
Using warm water and soft cloths, clean the injector console and
head thoroughly to remove contrast medium or other deposits.
The injector head requires particular attention. Remove the turret,

then: Clean the front casting where the piston moves in and out;
Clean the turret and its pivot point; Remove any contrast from the
entire length of the piston rod.
If contrast medium has leaked inside the head or console, the

affected subassembly should be disassembled and cleaned. This
cleaning procedure can be done in the field by trained Medrad
Service personnel, or returned to Medrad Factory Service. If the
cleaning will be performed in the field by a properly trained individual, ensure that any internal wiring or components are not disturbed, and that the system is completely dry before applying
power.
Check all of the System Safety and Warning Labels for legibility.
Ensure that the labels are not damaged or missing.
4-6
CAUTION: Do not soak or immerse any parts of the injector in water. Improper or careless cleaning methods may
result in equipment damage. While cleaning the outside of
the unit, avoid letting any liquids seep inside injector components.
WARNING: Ensure that the system is completely dry

before connecting to a power source and applying power.
Leakage

Introduction
Checkout Procedure
These checkout procedures test the major functions of the Mark V
and Mark V Plus. These procedures should be followed:
Before using the unit for the first time

As part of a routine preventive maintenance program
(check operation monthly with this procedure)
If a problem or miscalibration is suspected
After repairs
Read the steps first, then do them. Many steps require more than one
observation. Some steps will need to be timed.
To do these checkouts, a stopwatch, a watch with a digital seconds
timer or seconds hand, or a timer is required.
NOTE: If the unit fails to perform as outlined in any of the following procedures, or any error messages appear,
refer to Section 19, Troubleshooting Guide.
Basic Unit
Checkout Procedure
This procedure checks the basic functions of any Mark V or Mark V

Plus system. Regardless of the configuration or what options are on
your system, start with this procedure. Then continue with the others
in the order they appear in this section.
This procedure is valid for all models and configurations of the Mark V
or Mark V Plus injector including the RMT 510 model in which the system is operated solely from a Remote Panel, with no Control Panel on
the console. With this kind of system, any reference to a Control Panel
in the following procedure refers to the Remote Panel.

Mark V / Mark V Plus Injection Systems

Injector Head
Mount Inspections
A safe and effective injector mounting system must be maintained to

prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage. An important part
of inspection should include the injector head support arm typically
associated with pedestal injector systems (SYS 500 or SYS 500-P)
and the free standing injector head stand (KMA-320 or KMA-320T).
The injector head pivot knuckle should sit flat and rotate smoothly on
the support arm. The injector head should not rotate more than 360
degrees. Periodically lift the head from the support arm and check for
the presence of the injector head stop pin. If the pin is not in place, the
head cable can wrap around the arm, causing damage to the head
cable and possibly forcing the injector head off of the support arm.
The support arm should be inspected for cracks where the head rests
on the arm and at the base where it is attached to the injector or the
injector head stand. If a crack is present, the crack can lengthen, compromising the integrity of the arm.
Initial Checks
1. Get the injector ready:

With the exception of the head cable, disconnect any cables from
the connector panel on the back of the injector.
If your system is a Control Room Console without an integral Control Panel, leave the Remote Panel connected. If your system
includes a Remote Panel and has a Control Panel on the console,
disconnect the Remote Panel.
Remove and discard any syringes from the pressure jackets on
the injector head.
Rotate the turret to the vertical (or ready to inject) position.
Position the Rotating Piston Plunger Release lever on the back of
the injector head horizontally.
2. Check the initial response of the injector.
Connect the system to a compatible electrical power source, then
apply power. The SENTINEL should display:
SELF TEST IN PROGRESS VER MV (or PR) X.X
The MV (or PR) X.X message indicates the software version
installed in the unit. During the self test, all LEDs on the Control
Panel should illuminate, and all windows should display 8s and
decimal points. If any segments do not illuminate, the unit requires
repair and should not be used.

CPU Card Type B

(Part Number 78101-10-AP-01 (-3), serial numbers 20000 - 27467)
The CPU Card contains the main injector operating program. Refer to
the figure on page 6 - 3 for a block diagram of the CPU Card type B.
The CPU Card contains the following circuits:
CPU
The Z-80 CPU U10 is supported by 40 Kbytes of EPROM, and 8

Kbytes of RAM. This processor provides a 16-bit address bus, an 8-bit
data bus, and several control lines for Read/Write, Interrupts, etc..
Clock
Crystal Y2 (8 MHz) and clock generator chip U2, produce the 4 MHz
clock system for the CPU, and provide a Reset pulse when power is
first applied. This pulse resets the CPU, and ensures that the program starts at the beginning.
Memory
CPU memory is comprised of four EPROM /PROM chips (U11

through U15), and one RAM chip (U16). These chips connect the
address and data buses, and are controlled by the enable lines from
the memory / I/O decoder, and the Read/Write lines from the CPU. If
these chips need to be replaced, contact Medrad Service for current
revision EPROMS.
Memory /
Input/Output
Decoder
The Memory / Input/Output Decoder, comprised of U22 and U23, provides:

Control of the memory chips during read/write cycles
Two major decode lines (MEMIO1 and MEMIO2: Pins 16
and 17) that are buffered and sent to the Input/Output Card
Direction control for the data buffer
Bus Buffers
The control lines from the CPU are buffered by U17, then sent to the
motherboard bus. The address bus is buffered by U18 and U19, then
sent to the motherboard bus. The flow of data is controlled by bidirectional buffer U20, which is controlled by the Memory / I/O Decoder.
Control and addressing lines flow away from the CPU, while the buffered data bus, can flow in either direction.
Watchdog 1
The CPU watchdog (U3) must receive pulses from the I/O Card on the
WATCHDOG 1 line, or CPU operations will be interrupted. The pulses
are generated on the I/O Card, by decoding a CPU address. A loss of
these pulses is most likely the result of a problem with the CPU or the
EPROMs.

first applied. This pulse resets the CPU, and ensures that the program starts at the beginning.
Memory
CPU memory is comprised of one EPROM / PROM chip (U24), and

one RAM chip (U16). These chips connect the address and data
buses, and are controlled by both the enable lines from the memory /
I/O decoder, and the Read/Write lines from the CPU. EPROM chip
U24 is only accessed when switch SP2-2 is set to the U24 position.
If this chip must be replaced, contact Medrad Service for a current
version EPROM. In addition to standard memory, a separate EPROM
chip (U25) may be installed to access special utility functions. This
may be accessed be setting switch SP2-2 to the U25 position. Contact Medrad Factory Service for more information.
Memory /
Input/Output
Decoder
The Memory / Input/Output Decoder, comprised of U23 and U26, provides:

Control of the memory chips during read/write cycles
Two major decode lines (MEMIO1 and MEMIO2: Pins 16
and 17) that are buffered and sent to the Input/Output Card
Direction control for the data buffer
Bus Buffers
The control lines from the CPU are buffered by U17, then sent to the
motherboard bus. The address bus is buffered by U18 and U19, then
sent to the motherboard bus. The flow of data is controlled by bidirectional buffer U20, which is controlled by the Memory / I/O Decoder.

Input / Output Card
Input / Output Card

Through the I/O Card, the CPU:
reads Control Panel, external switches, and system event status
operates Control Panel displays and external connections
synchronizes and times the injection.
Refer to page 7 - 3 for a block diagram of the I/O Card.

Bus Buffers
The control bus is buffered by U14, and the address bus is buffered by
U15. The bidirectional data bus is buffered and controlled by U22, with
direction control from I/O decoder U8.
Display Decoder
Signals for the Control Panel Display Card are provided by 4-16 channel decoder U1, while U7 inserts display driver Wait States. These signals control the Sentinel and LED display drivers.
Display Buffers
Two address lines, and eight data lines, are buffered for the Display
Card by U16 and U19.
I/O Decoder
Decoder U8, controlled by address and control lines, provides an

enable to programmable I/O (PIO) chips U5 and U6, counter/timer chip
(CTC) U4, and, provides data direction control for data buffer U22.
Parallel
Input/Output Chips
Parallel I/O chips permit the CPU to access external inputs, and to control outputs.
PIO1 -- The inputs to U6 are the hand start switch, remote start
switch, and remote disarm input. Through the data buses, the CPU
can check the digital status of these inputs. Outputs from U6
include: The film changer relay enable, two injecting signals, Armed
signal, and Head Indicator signals. Through the I/O chip, the CPU
can turn these outputs on and off.
PIO2 -- This device (U5) is dedicated to decoding of the keypad on

the Control Panel. Port A (sense line) rotates a Logic-0 on each line
on the keypad matrix. When a key is pressed, one line of Port B will
go to Logic-0. The CPU compares Port A to Port B to determine
which key was pressed.
Port A lines A0 - A3:
Port A lines A4 - A7:

Counter / Timer
Chip (CTC)
The CTC (U4) generates interrupt signals for the CPU. The interrupts
are prioritized and asynchronous with the system clock.
Trigger 0: (Not used with SYS 500-PI, or RMT 505-PI/510-PI) Rwave detector interrupt request. When an R-wave is detected, an
interrupt is generated. Trigger 0 has the highest priority and is
used only with the ECG option.
Trigger 1: PPI memory error interrupt request. PPI primary and

backup memories are compared each time primary memory is
read. If primary and backup data values are not equal, an interrupt
request is generated.
Trigger 2: UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter)

interrupt request. This indicates that the Remote Panel is requesting communication with the Main Unit.
Trigger 3: Timed Interrupt. This provides a real-time clock and

delay timer function. During an injection, this interrupt program
performs Flow Rate and Volume Limit calculations. This interrupt
is not externally triggered, but driven from the time divided clock
generator.
Test Decoder
This 4-16 channel decoder (U2) provides Reset pulses for Watchdog
1, and controls timing of the buzzer.
Test Section
The circuit surrounding U17 and U18 is for in-house testing.
ECG Detector
This circuitry is used only with the ECG option. The incoming R-wave
signal is sent to the multiplying DAC circuit (U20, U21, U23, and U24
or U20, U21, and U26), while sensitivity to this signal is controlled by
the Gain Up/Down keys on the ECG Keypad. Gain information is sent
through the data bus to U20, which sets a multiplication factor for DAC
U21. The output of the DAC is buffered (at U24 or U26A), then sent to
the R-wave detector U23 or U26B, of which output is a pulse that indicates an R-wave. This pulse goes through a pulse shaping network
(U25 or U27), then to CTC Trigger 0.

Servo Control Card
Servo Control Card

The Servo Control Card (SCC) serves two primary functions:
Provide signals that control the Flow Rate and Power Drive
circuits
Read and interpret information from the head, to control

injection Flow Rate and Pressure [limit].
Refer to the figure on page 8 - 4 for a block diagram of the Servo Control Card.
Bus Buffers
The control bus is buffered by U12, and the address bus is buffered
by U11. The bi-directional data bus is buffered and controlled by U10,
with direction control coming from direction logic.
Direction Logic
Gates U7-U9 control the direction line of U10, controlling the flow of
data to and from the card.
A/D Converter
Analog-to-digital (A/D) converter U1 inputs a multiplexed analog signal, and converts it into a digital word. This process is controlled by
A/D converter logic (U4, U5) and DAC decoder U14. When requested
from the CPU, the converted 10-bit value is gated to the data bus by
tri-state buffers U2 and U3.
A/D Converter Logic
Gates U4 and U5 control the A/D converter U1, starting the A/D conversion when the data is ready, and enabling buffers U2 and U3 to
transfer the converted word to the data bus.
DAC Decoder
Decoder U14, with U18 and U6, provide enable signals for the DACs
(digital-to-analog converters) and the MUX (multiplexer). These
enables allow data bus information to be written to the device. The
decoder also provides signals for the A/D converter logic, direction
logic, and Reset pulses for WATCHDOG 2.
WATCHDOG 2
The DAC decoder sends pulses to WATCHDOG 2 (U15) when the

mechanical stop is in position, and Ready to Inject. If the Mechanical
Stop takes too long to move into position, the pulses from the DAC
decoder will stop, resulting in a disarm condition. The Sentinel will
then display the message Mechanical Stop Position Failure.
PIO3
The inputs to PIO3 (U16) are signals from the Injector Head, Power
Drive Circuit, and the analog portion of the SCC. These inputs
include: Turret switch position, 60 ml indication, and FWD/REV indication from the Injector Head, Aux Monitor from the PDC, and an Overpressure Limit signal from the SCC. The status of PIO3 inputs are
8-1

directed to the CPU through data busses. Outputs from PIO3 include:
Flow Control signals, the Safe Relay Enable, and the System Override signal.
System Monitor
Flip-Flop
The flip-flop (U17) sends alarm signals to disarm the injector, if any of
the following input conditions occur: WATCHDOG 2, OPLIM (overpressure signal), or AUX MONITOR (power drive failure).
Command, Position,
and Signal DACs
When enabled and timed by the DAC decoder U14, one of the DACs
(U21-U24) will read a byte of data bus information. The DAC then
converts the byte to an analog voltage between zero and 10 VDC.
DAC resolution is 40mV per count.
Pressure Limit Command DAC

The output of this DAC is the Pressure Limit Command signal
(PSILIM SELECTED). This signal is sent to the Multiplexer, the Primary Pressure Limit circuit, and the Overpressure Limit circuit.
Flow Rate Command DAC
The output of this DAC is the Flow Rate Command signal (FLOW
RATE SELECTED). This signal is sent to the Multiplexer, Flow Scale
Circuit and Power Drive Card (PDC, PDCP, or PDCI).
Mechanical Stop Position DAC
The output of this DAC is the Mechanical Stop Position signal
(MSPOSCMD). This signal is sent to the Multiplexer, and through
Unity Gain Buffer U26C, to the Mechanical Stop Drive Card.
Velocity Signal DAC
The output of this DAC is a digitized velocity signal, sent to the Imaging System Interface Card. This signal is buffered, becoming the Flow
Profile Signal available through connector J15, pin 4.
Multiplexer (MUX)
The multiplexer circuit is comprised of multiplexer U19, Quad latch

U20, and Unity-Gain buffer U26A. This circuit receives eight inputs,
and under timing control connects each input to the circuit output,
which is sent to the A/D converter.
TTL/CMOS Converter
U25 converts TTL logic (0/5V) to CMOS logic (0/15V).
10V Reference
Chip U28 develops +10 VDC as a reference voltage for the Plunger
and Mechanical Stop position feedback pots in the head. This voltage
is also applied to the multiplexer to be monitored by the CPU.
Pot Processor
This circuit, comprised of U27C and associated components, buffers

and filters the pot wiper signal. The pot signal is an input to the multiplexer and the error amplifier.
Primary Pressure
Limit Circuit
The Primary pressure limit circuit (U26B), compares the pressure limit
command to the actual pressure developed during an injection. The
8-2
Servo Control Card

output of this circuit is sent to three Pressure Limiting circuits to perform the following functions:
Flow Rate Integrator Circuit U29.

The output of U26B is summed with the Flow Rate command to effectively reduce the input voltage to U29. This action results in the reduction of the Flow Rate command signal, thereby preventing the
selected pressure limit from being exceeded.
Inverting amplifier, U27B.
The output of this amplifier is summed with the output of the Main
Flow Integrator, to reduce the voltage sent to the error amplifier U27D,
thereby decreasing the error signal.
Circuit Q4.
This circuit is driven to cut-off, sending a pressure limit indication signal (PRESLIMIND) to PIO3 (U16), and eventually to the CPU. This
PRESLIMIND signal will also send Q12 into a saturation state, which
shunts R81 and reduces the gain of the error amplifier, thereby
decreasing the error signal.
Overpressure Circuit
If the actual pressure exceeds the pressure limit command by greater

than 100-150 PSI, the Overpressure Circuit (U26D) forwards an
OPLIM signal to stop the injection.
Flow Scale Circuit
Using the two flow scale signals, circuits Q5, Q6, and Q11 attenuate
the flow rate selected signal during ML/MIN and ML/HR flow scale
injections.
Standby Reset Circuit
Driven by the INJECT signal, Q8, Q9, and Q10 control the flow rate
integrator, U29. During standby, the integrator follows the position pot.
The output of the integrator is equal in amplitude, and opposite in
polarity to the position pot. When an injection is to occur, this circuit
allows U29 to generate the position command.
Flow Rate Integrator
The master position command is generated by integrator U29. The

output of this circuit is a ramp, with a slope proportional to the input
signal (flow rate selected).
Error Amplifier
When the plunger is moving at the desired flow rate, the master position command from U29 and the pot wiper signal from U27C are equal
but opposite in polarity. The output of error amplifier U27D is the difference between these two signals, or the position error. This error
signal is used by the drive circuits to power the motor. If pressure limiting occurs, a signal from U27B reduces the error signal, and the gain
of U27D is reduced by Q12.
Feed Forward Circuit
This circuit, comprised of Q7 and U27A, provides a boost voltage to

the motor to compensate for the internal resistance of the motor. This
turning voltage varies with the Flow Rate.

Bus Buffers
U1 and U2. The bidirectional data bus is buffered by U4 and U5, with
direction defined by one of the lines on the control bus. These data
buffers are enabled by the decoder. The data bus for the primary
memory chip is controlled by U5; the backup memory chip data bus is
controlled by U4.
Decoder
Decoder U6 provides the enable lines for the data bus buffers, the
memory chips, and the RS-232C circuit.

memory is provided by U8. The chips are enabled by signals from the
decoder, while outputs are enabled by lines from the control bus.
Memory Comparator
The data buses from the primary and backup memory are continuously compared by U7. If the values do not agree, latch U11 sends a
signal (MEMERRINT), enabling the CTC on the I/O Card, to interrupt
the processor.
Analog Switches
The enable lines for the memory chips are switched through U16.
When power is applied, the switches are closed, connecting the
enable lines. When power is removed or low, the switches are open,
disabling the enable lines to preserve power.
Power-Down and
Battery Circuit
When power is removed, or is low, Q1- Q3 disables U16 and opens

the analog switches to disable the memory chips to conserve power
as they switch over to battery power. The battery provides backup
power for the memory chips to preserve the contents when power is
removed.
RS-232C Circuit
This circuit consists of Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter

(UART) U13, baud rate clock U12, line receiver U15, and line driver
U14. With this circuit, the Main Unit can communicate with the

signal (MEMERRINT), enabling the CTC on the I/O Card, to interrupt
the processor.

When power is applied, the switches are closed, connecting the
enable lines. When power is removed or low, the switches are open,
disabling the enable lines to preserve power.
Power-Down and
Battery Circuit
When power is removed, or is low, Q1-Q3 disables U16 and opens

the analog switches to disable the memory chips to conserve power
as they switch over to battery power. The battery provides backup
power for the memory chips to preserve the contents when power is
removed.
RS-232C Circuit
This circuit consists of Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter

(UART) U13, baud rate clock U12, U19 RS-232 line driver and
receiver, and ferrite beads FB1-FB5 added for reduction of conducted
noise. With this circuit, the Main Unit can communicate with the
Remote Panel using an RS-232C serial interface.
Ferrite Beads
FB1-FB5 are used to suppress noise from the power source.

NOTE: Clearing of PPI Memory: Type C PPI Cards contain a
new feature for the simplification of clearing PPI memory. This can be accomplished by removing power,
then shorting pin 2 to pin 1 or 3 of JU1. The shorted
state should be maintained for several seconds to
ensure complete and proper clearing.

Control Panel
10 Control Panel
The Control panel is comprised of the keyboard overlay attached to
the Display Card. Three different types of interchangeable Display
Cards have been produced. Refer to page 10 - 2 for a block diagram
of the Control Panel cards.
Keyboard Overlay
The keyboard overlay contains snap-action membrane keys, interconnected in a matrix of four columns and eight rows. This matrix is connected to the Display Card, then to the I/O Card, where PIO2 senses
key closures for the system.
Display Card
The Display Card contains the alphanumeric displays and LEDs that
show through the keyboard overlay. These devices convey messages
and operating status to the operator. The Display Card contains the
Sentinel display, numeric displays, and LED displays.
Sentinel Display
The Sentinel is made up of eight, 4-character display units (DS1

through DS8), creating a 32-character read-out. These devices
receive data and control information from the I/O Card.
Numeric Display
Drivers and
Numeric Displays
Three display groups are used to display injection parameters on the

Control panel. Each display group consists of a display driver (U1, U2,
or U4), and numeric display units. Display drivers also receive the
data and control line information from the I/O Card. Group designations are as follows:
Display Driver U1, displays Volume (DS23 - DS26), Flow Rate (DS11,
DS12), and Rise/Fall (DS9, DS10).
Display Driver U2, displays Pressure [limit] (DS27 - DS30) and Injection Duration (DS13-DS15).
Display Driver U4, displays Program Number (DS16, DS17), Total
Levels (DS18), Level (DS22),and Delay (DS19-DS21).
LED Driver,
Transistor Driver
and LEDs
The remainder of the Display Card circuit controls and drives LEDs
used as backlights of various indicators on the Control panel. Display
driver U3 controls all LEDs, and receives data and control information
from the I/O Card. Each LED group contains drivers such as Q5 and
Q6, or IC U5. These three columns of LEDs are enabled by Q20
through Q22, and driven by Display Driver U3.

Power Drive Circuit

Power Drive Circuit

The Power Drive Circuit supplies, and controls power to the Injector
Head Plunger Motor.
The Power Drive Circuit is located primarily on the Power Drive Card.
The Safe relay, Reverse relay, and selected output stage components
are located elsewhere in the unit. The filter choke is mounted on the
chassis frame.
The information in this section describes three versions of the Power
Drive Card. Cards designated PDC are those with serial numbers
below 60000, those designated PDCP are serial number PDCP 60000
and above, and those designated PDCI are cards serial number PDCI
70000 and above. The following information describes the PDC Card,
while a circuit description for the PDCP Card can be found on Page 11 9, and for the PDCI Card on Page 11 - 17.
NOTE: The PDC Card cannot be used in Mark V Plus systems.
NOTE: The Power Drive Card International (PDCI) was redesigned to ensure compliance with IEC 601-1 electrical
standards, regarded as the worldwide electrical standard. A new power amplifier design coincides with the
release of the MKV Plus International Injection System.
The new International boards are identified by having an
I after the designated prefix (PDCI), and are not interchangeable with any predecessor.
11 - 1
PDC
(Serial numbers below 60000)
Refer to pages 11 - 7 and 11 - 8 for block diagrams of the PDC Card.
Brake Circuit
Q8, Q9, Q10
The Brake Circuit is used to stop the plunger motor at the end of an
injection, or if an error condition occurs during an injection. This process is called Dynamic Braking. When the Safe Relay opens, the
motor will continue to turn, thereby acting as a generator producing
voltage. When the brake is activated, the motor winding is connected
across two .75 ohm, 5 watt resistors, or one .68 ohm 2 watt resistor,
stopping the motor. At the end of an injection, the error signal
(ERRSIG, a command from the Servo Control Card) goes negative (1V), activating the Brake Sensing Circuit Q8 - Q10. A SYSTEM
OVERRIDE, AUX MONITOR, or overrate signal can also activate the
brake.
Overcurrent
Shutdown Circuit
U4B, DRC Q1
(Q11 on CPA)
The overcurrent shutdown circuit (U4B-C on PDC and Q1 on DRC

[Q11 on CPA]) opens the motor voltage path if excessive current is
flowing through the plunger motor circuit. The Sampling Resistor is in
series with the motor, and voltage across it is directly proportional to
current through the motor. This voltage is an input to Motor Current
Amplifier U4C, and to one input of the Overcurrent Shutdown comparator (U4B). The other input of U4B is tied to a voltage divider, to establish an overcurrent shutdown reference (approximately -6V). When
the output of U4C rises above this reference voltage, the output of
U4B reaches negative saturation. This voltage is applied to the Gate
of Overcurrent Shutdown FET Q1 on the DRC (Q11 on CPA), forcing it
into cut-off and opening the motor voltage path.
Safe Relay /
Safe Relay Enable
K1, Q5
Safe Relay K1 completes the motor voltage path between the SCR
Bridge stage, and the Plunger Motor. K1 also provides an additional
pair of normally-closed contacts to allow the Mechanical Stop Motor to
run while the injector is disarmed, yet prevent the Plunger motor from
running. K1 is enabled by a Forward or Reverse load command from
the injector head, or when the injector is armed (Safe Relay Enable
[SAFRELEN] from the SCC). In both cases, theses signals cause Q5
to conduct, providing a ground path to energize K1 (SAFRELO). This
action disables the Mechanical Stop Motor by breaking connections to
the motor, and allowing power to flow to the Plunger motor. The Safe
Relay is disabled by a SYSTEM OVERRIDE/AUX MONITOR from the
PDC, or a loss of the SAFRELEN from the SCC.
Reverse Relay
Enable Circuits
K2
When Reverse loading, both Safe Relay K1 and Reverse Relay K2,
must be energized. When REVERSE load is activated, +26 volts
energizes K2, reversing the polarity of the plunger motor.
11 - 2
Power Drive Circuit

System Override
The SYSTEM OVERRIDE shuts down the PDCP if the system detects
the presence of a System Monitor type condition (Overpressure,
Overvolume, or Overrate [via Aux Monitor]). When the SYSTEM
OVERRIDE signal from U16 (PIO 3) on the SCC goes high, the signal
is sent through D21 to: Disable the Safe Relay (R50, R82, Q4), activate the brake (D28, D25, Q10), and disable pulses to SCR bridge
controller (D28, R87, Q3). SYSTEM OVERRIDE and AUX MONITOR
are ORed on the PDC to form a redundant shut-down circuit.
Differential Amplifier
U1B
The Differential Amplifier (U1B) is used to establish a reference sine

wave for use by the zero crossing detector. Inputs to U1B are positive
half-waves taken from the secondary of Transformer T1, and halfwaves rectified by diodes in the SCR bridge Z1. The positive halfwaves coincide with both the positive and negative halves of the input
sine-wave. When the non-inverting input of U1B (pin 5) goes positive, the inverting input of U1B (pin 6) will be at or near zero volts. Output of U1B will go positive, producing the positive half of the sinewave. Likewise, when U1B pin 6 begins to go positive, the voltage at
U1B pin 5 will be at or near zero volts. The output of U1B will go negative, producing the negative half of the sine-wave. This action reestablishes the reference sine-wave.
Phase Shift Network

U1A
The Phase Shift Network is used to produce a sine-wave that is phase

shifted 0.4 mS ahead of the incoming sine-wave. This ensures that
sufficient voltage and current exist to fire the SCR bridge. Input to the
Phase Shift Amplifier, U1A, is the output of U1B. R6 adjusts the
amount of phase shift at the output of U1A.
Zero Crossing
Detector
U1C, U1D
The Zero Crossing Detector circuit will produce a positive going pulse
(-15v to 0), and reset the Ramp Generator circuit (U2A) when the
input sine-wave passes through zero. Input to this stage is the phase
shifted sine-wave from U1A. U1C and U1D function as a Window
Detector, each producing a positive output when input voltage is
within the established window. The non-inverting input to U1C has a
positive offset voltage, while the output of U1C goes to positive saturation when the inverting input voltage drops below the offset. The
inverting input of U1D also has a negative offset. Output of U1D will
go to negative saturation when voltage at the non-inverting input
drops below the offset. The outputs of U1C and U1D are ANDed by
D3-D4, and when both are positive, a positive going pulse is sent to
reset the Ramp Generator circuit.
Ramp Generator
Q1, U2A
Integrator U2A generates 2 volt (-2 to 0 volt) ramp waveforms

between each zero crossing. These ramps are used to establish a reference for the Trigger Comparator (U2D). During an injection, the
Error signal is summed with the ramps and applied to U2D. The Error
signal raises the DC reference level of the ramps. The integrator is
reset (zero crossing detector applies a positive going pulse to the gate
of Q1) when the sine-wave passes through zero.
11 - 3

Trigger Comparator,
SCR Controller
U2D
The Trigger Comparator (U2D) determines duration of pulses that fire

the SCR bridge. The input to U2D is the summed Error signal and
ramp wave-form. Duration of pulses is determined by the amount of
time that the input wave-form value is greater than zero volts. In
standby, input to U2D is 0 volts. The output of U2D is negative saturation. Diode D18 supplies a ground path for +15 volts across R38,
sending Q2 into cut-off.
During an injection, the Error signal raises the ramp wave-form above
zero volts. When ramp voltage is above zero, output of U2D switches
to positive saturation, reverse biasing D18, and removing the ground
path for the +15 volts. This voltage is applied to Q2 (through R38, D19
and D20), providing a ground path for +26 volts (through R12, R13,
and Q2), which creates a positive to negative transition on the primary
of pulse transformer T1. The pulse transformer will invert the polarity
of the secondary, creating a negative to positive pulse to fire the SCR
bridge. The duration of the pulse is determined by the amount of that
time the input to U2D is above zero volts.
Transistor Q3 is used to ground trigger pulses (remove base voltage
to Q2) if a SYSTEM OVERRIDE, AUX MONITOR, or overrate injection occurs.
Full Error Trigger

U2C
The Full Error Trigger will fire the SCR bridge if a large, instantaneous
Error signal does not allow U2D to trigger the SCR bridge. In order for
the Trigger Comparator (U2D) and the SCR Controller to fire the SCR
bridge, the output to U2D must be allowed to drop below zero. If the
Error signal is too large, input of U2D stays above zero, consequently
output is held in positive saturation. If this occurs, U2C will invert the
output of the zero crossing detector, and pulse the SCR Controller.
The pulses will continue until the Error signal drops to a value which
allows output of U2D to pulse normally, and resume firing of the SCR
bridge.
Delinearizing
Network
The circuit comprised of R80, R22-27, D7-8, and C16, increases drive
circuitry sensitivity to small error signals, and decreases sensitivity to
larger error signals.
Power Output Stage
AC power from the power transformer is applied to the SCR bridge

Z1. The output of the bridge, controlled by gate pulses from the SCR
controller, is filtered by L1 and C1 on the DRC, or L1 and C13 on the
CPA. The SCR bridge is protected by an MOV across the AC input.
The SCR Bridge output is protected by MOV Z2, while direction of
motor rotation is controlled by Reverse Relay K2. Motor current is
sampled for the pressure circuits and the overcurrent shutdown circuit
by Sampling Resistor R4 on the DRC (R57 in the CPA).
11 - 4
Power Drive Circuit

Elliptical Filter
U4D
The circuit surrounding U4D removes the fundamental ripple frequency and harmonic noise from the motor current signal. Output is
sent to the Pressure Amplifier.
Pressure Amplifier
U4A
The filtered motor current signal is amplified by U4A. Output is the

actual pressure signal PRESSIG, sent to the multiplexer and pressure
limit circuitry on the SCC Card. This signal is also used by the Loading
Pressure Limit Circuit on the same card.
Loading Pressure
Limit Control - Q6
During loading, if pressure exceeds 200 PSI, Q6 conducts to limit

loading rate and pressure.
Motor Current
Amplifier
U4C
U4C circuitry amplifies and inverts the motor current signal from sampling resistor R57, in series with the motor. Output of the current
amplifier is proportional to motor current. This signal is used by Velocity Amplifier U3B, Auxiliary Monitor U3A, and Overcurrent Shutdown
Circuit U4B.
Velocity Amplifier
U3B
The inputs to velocity amplifier U3B are motor voltage, and the current
signal from the current amplifier; these two signals are opposite in
polarity and added to obtain the output of U3B, an analog derivative of
actual velocity.
Overrate Detector
U3C
By comparing the actual velocity signal to the FLOW SELECTED

input, U3C detects when the velocity exceeds the flow command.
When this occurs, the output of U3C nullifies the input to U2D, stopping the trigger pulses to the SCR bridge. The output of U3C is sent to
U3D, activating the brake, and causing Q3 to conduct (shorting SCR
Trigger pulses to ground).
Brake Comparator
U3D
If the velocity exceeds the flow command, U3D activates brake Q10,
activates Q3 to cease firing of the SCRs, and triggers auxiliary monitor U3A.
Auxiliary Monitor
U3A
The AUX MONITOR indication is given if the output of Motor Current

Amplifier U4C is excessive or if Velocity Comparator U3C indicates
that the speed of the motor is greater than the selected flow rate command. When either of these conditions occur, Aux Monitor circuit U3A
sends a signal to three other circuits on the PDC. The AUX MONITOR
signal: Causes Q3 to conduct, thereby stopping the firing of the SCR
bridge; Causes Q4 to conduct, grounding the Safe Relay Enable
(SAFRELEN), thereby disabling the Safe Relay; Activates the Brake
FET, to stop the plunger motor. The AUX MONITOR signal is also sent
to U16 (PIO 3) on the SCC to interrupt the CPU and terminate the
injection.

Forward/Reverse
Loading Circuit
U2A, R28
The Forward/Reverse Loading circuit applies a fixed load profile voltage which is summed with the output of Ramp Generator U2A, to trigger the SCR bridge and produce a drive voltage for the plunger motor.
Slow acceleration during loading is provided by the charging action of
capacitor C9 and R30. Loading pressure and velocity limiting are controlled through Q6.
Forward/Reverse Loading:
When the Forward load button on the injector head is pressed, +26
volts is sent through voltage divider (R28, R29, R31, R42) to be
summed with the output of Ramp Generator U2A. If Reverse load is
pressed, the action is similar with these exceptions: Pressing Reverse
load also energizes Reverse Relay K2 to reverse the motor lead
polarity; +26 volts also passes through blocking diode D10 (prevents
Forward load from energizing K2).
Forward/Reverse Indication - Q12:
The Forward/Reverse Indication (FWD/REV IND) alerts the system
that either FORWARD or REVERSE load has been pressed. When
either button is pressed on the injector head, Q12 conducts sending
an active low FWD/REV IND to U16 (PIO 3) on the SCC, prompting
the system to withdraw the SAFRELEN.

across two .75 ohm, 5 watt resistors, stopping the motor. At the end of
an injection, the error signal (ERRSIG, a command from the Servo
Control Card) goes negative (-1V), activating the Brake Sensing Circuit Q1 - Q3, thus stopping the motor. Zener diode D1 protects Q1 by
limiting gate to source voltage to 15 volts. A SYSTEM OVERRIDE,
AUX MONITOR, or overrate condition can also activate the brake.
Overcurrent
Shutdown
U1A, DRC Q1
The Overcurrent Shutdown Circuit opens the plunger motor voltage

path if excessive current is flowing through the motor circuit. Sampling
Resistor R4 (on DRC) is in series with the motor, and voltage across it
is directly proportional to the current through the motor. This voltage is
an input to Motor Current Amplifier U1D, the output of which is applied
to the non-inverting input of Overcurrent Shutdown comparator U1A.
The inverting input to U1A is connected to a voltage divider, establishing an Overcurrent Shutdown reference. When output of U1D rises
above reference voltage at U1A, the output of U1A switches to negative saturation. This negative voltage is applied to the gate of Overcurrent Shutdown FET Q1 on the DRC, forcing it into cut-off, and opening
the motor voltage path.

running. K1 is enabled by either a Forward or Reverse load command
from the injector head, or when the injector is armed (Safe Relay
Enable [SAFRELEN] from the SCC). In both cases, theses signals
cause Q5 to conduct, providing a ground path to energize K1
(SAFRELO). This action disables the Mechanical Stop Motor by
breaking connections to the motor, and allowing power to flow to the
Plunger motor. The Safe Relay is disabled by a SYSTEM OVERRIDE/
AUX MONITOR from the PDCP, or a loss of the SAFRELEN from the
SCC.
11 - 9

Single Button Disarm from Injector Head - When the injector is armed,
and the SAFRELEN in the active high state, Q12 conducts, shunting
R56. This process allows Single Button disarming of the injector
head. When the injector is armed, if any single button on the injector
head is pressed, the signal will go through either D15 or D16, then
R59 and Q12, making Q13 conduct. This produces an active low
FWD/REV IND (to the SCC Card), which prompts the system to withdraw the SAFRELEN.
Reverse Relay
Enable Circuits
K2, Q10, Q11
When Reverse loading, both Safe Relay K1 and Reverse Relay K2

must be energized. K2 reverses the polarity of the plunger. When
REVERSE load is pressed, Q11 and Q10 conduct, applying +26 volts
through on-board jumper JU1, energizing K2. JU1 must be set correctly to avoid: No Reverse, or; Latch in Reverse. See the tables

System Override
The SYSTEM OVERRIDE shuts down the PDCP if the system detects
OVERRIDE signal from U16 (PIO3) on the SCC goes high, Q4 and
Q5 (PDCP) conduct, allowing +15 volts to: Disable the Safe Relay circuit (Q6), activate the brake (D2 and Q1), and disable pulses to the
SCR bridge controller (Q9). SYSTEM OVERRIDE and AUX MONITOR are ORed on the PDCP to form a redundant shut-down circuit.
Zero Crossing
Detector
U4A, U4D
The Zero Crossing Detector circuit establishes a timing reference for

triggering of the SCR bridge. This is done by producing a positive
pulse (-10v to +10v) which resets Ramp Generator U5C when the
input sine-wave passes through zero. These pulses are also applied
to Full Error Trigger Q9, through D6 and R30, to fire the SCR bridge
when needed.
Input to this circuit is the added, positive half-waves, from Power
Transformer T1, forming a full-wave input to U4A. U4A, an inverting
amplifier with a gain of 1/10, together with D30 and C15, form a peak
detector which produces an output voltage proportional to the incoming line voltage. This voltage sets the input reference for Window
Detector U4D, which produces a positive output pulse when the input
sine-wave is below the reference established by U4A (sine-wave
passes through zero). All other times, the output of U4D is negative

Power Drive Circuit

saturation. The positive pulse, applied to the gate of Q16, resets the
Ramp Generator. The pulse width is approximately 1.2 mS @ 60 Hz,
and 1.5 mS @ 50 Hz, and is clamped to +/-10 volts by zener diodes
D28 and D29 in the feedback loop of U4D.
Ramp Generator
U5C, Q16
Integrator U5C generates 2 volt (-2 to 0 volt) ramp waveforms

between each zero crossing that are used to establish a reference
level for Trigger Comparator U5B. DC level and amplitude of the
ramps are adjusted by R90 and R112, respectively. The integrator is
reset when the sine-wave passes through zero (U4D applies a positive pulse to the gate of Q16).
Trigger Comparator,
SCR Controller
U5B, Q8
Trigger Comparator U5B uses the summed Error, or load profile, signal and ramp wave-form to determine at what point in the sine-wave
the SCR bridge is fired. In standby, input to U5B is a negative voltage
(-2 to 0 volt integration from U5C), thus output of U2D is negative saturation, and Q8 is off.
During injection, or when forward or reverse loading, the DC signal
raises the ramp wave-form input to U5B above zero volts, causing
output of U5B to enter positive saturation, making Q8 conduct. Q8
provides a ground path for +26 volts (through R27, R28, and Q8),
which creates a positive to negative transition on the primary of pulse
transformer T1. The pulse transformer is connected, to invert the
polarity of the secondary, creating a negative to positive pulse to fire
the SCR bridge. The duration of the pulse is determined by C4, R28,
and the primary of T1.
Full Error Trigger

Q9
Error signal does not allow U5B to trigger the SCR bridge. In order for
Trigger Comparator U5B and the SCR Controller to fire the SCR
bridge, input to U5B must be allowed to go below zero. If the Error signal is too large, input of U5B stays above zero, consequently, output is
held in positive saturation. When this occurs, positive pulses from
Zero Crossing Detector U4D will make Q9 conduct. This transition
momentarily resets SCR Controller Q8, to enable the next positive
output from U5B to fire the SCR bridge. Pulses will continue to reset
the SCR controller until the Error signal drops to a value which allows
U5B to take over.

Delinearizing

The circuit comprised of R75, R87, R88, R107-110, D26, D27 and
C10, increases drive circuitry sensitivity to small error signals, and
decreases sensitivity to larger error signals.
11 - 11

Power Output Stage
AC power from the power transformer is applied to SCR bridge Z1.

The output of the bridge, controlled by gate pulses from the SCR controller, is filtered by C3 (on DRC). The SCR bridge is protected by an
internal MOV across the AC input. SCR Bridge output is spike protected by MOV Z2, while direction of motor rotation is controlled by
Reverse Relay K2. Motor current is sampled for the pressure circuits
and the Overcurrent Shutdown circuit by Sampling Resistor R4 on the
DRC.
Pressure Signal Filter

U1C
U1C is a non-inverting, low-pass filter that eliminates 50 and 60 Hz

oscillations from the Motor Current signal.
Pressure Amplifier
U1B
The filtered motor current signal is amplified by U1B. Output is the

limit circuitry on the SCC Card. This signal is also used on-card by the
Loading Pressure limit. Pressure Amp U1B, a non-inverting amplifier,
allows calibration of the Pressure signal. Low pressure is calibrated by
R83, which adjusts the input offset to U1B, while high pressure adjustment is calibrated by R17, which adjusts the gain of U1B.
Loading Pressure
Limit Control Circuit
Q15, Q17, U5D
If the output of U1B indicates pressure in excess of 200 PSI, Q15 and
Q17 conduct, summing a positive voltage with the negative load profile voltage (from U4C) to reduce the input to U5D. The lower input
reduces the error signal to U5B, thus limiting load rate and pressure.
Motor Current
Amplifier
U1D
U1D amplifies and inverts the motor current signal from the sampling
resistor, which is in series with the motor. Output of U1D is a negative
voltage, proportional to motor current. This signal is used by Velocity
Amplifier U2B, Auxiliary Monitor U2C, and Overcurrent Shutdown circuit U1A.
Velocity Amplifier
U2B
Inputs to velocity amplifier U2B are motor voltage, and current signal
from the motor current amplifier U1D; these two signals are opposite
in polarity, and added to obtain an analog derivative of actual velocity.
The output of U2B is negative, used by Overrate Detectors U2A and
U2D. Output is also used to control the speed of the motor when loading (U5D).
Overrate Detector
U2A
Overrate Detector U2A compares the actual velocity signal to the

FLOW SELECTED input, and will shut down the PDCP if velocity
exceeds the flow command. When this occurs, output of U2A nullifies
input to Trigger Comparator U5B, stopping trigger pulses to the SCR
bridge.
Brake Comparator
U2D
The output of U2A is also sent to Brake Comparator U2D. If Overrate

Detector U2A cannot adequately control the overate condition, U2D
will activate the Brake (Q1), trigger an Aux Monitor (U2C), and short
any remaining SCR bridge pulses to ground.
11 - 12
Power Drive Circuit

Auxiliary Monitor
U2C
The AUX MONITOR circuit will shut down the PDCP if either of the following conditions exist: Excessive current flowing through the motor;
Actual motor speed is greater than the selected flow rate. U2C, with
diode D14 in the feedback loop, acts as a latch circuit. When either
above stated conditions occurs, output of U2C goes positive, forward
biasing D14, and feeding positive voltage to the non-inverting input
(latching U2C positive). An AUX MONITOR will: Disable pulses to the
SCR bridge through D8, D9, and D10; Disable the Safe Relay Enable
(SAFRELEN) through Q6; Activate the brake through D8 and D2;
Send a signal to U16 (PIO3) on the SCC to interrupt the CPU and terminate the injection.
Excessive Motor Current:
The inverting input of U2C receives the motor current signal from
Motor Current Amplifier U1D. Normally, this input is used to decrease
the sensitivity of U2C at the beginning of an injection, thus preventing
false Aux Monitor indications caused by initial motor voltage and current requirements at the beginning of an injection. As motor current
increases, the inverting input goes negative (eventually to the point at
which U2C output becomes positive). When this occurs, U2C will
latch, shutting down the PDCP, sending a signal to U16 (PIO 3) on the
SCC (prompting the system to terminate the injection).
Excessive Motor Voltage:
The non-inverting input to U2C receives the output of Brake Comparator U2D. Input to U2D is Overrate Detector U2A which senses if motor
speed is greater than the selected Flow Rate. If an overrate is
detected by U2A, U2D will send +15 volts to the non-inverting input of
U2C, making its output positive. When this occurs, U2C will latch,
shutting down the PDCP, sending a signal to U16 (PIO 3) on the SCC
(prompting the system to terminate the injection).
Forward/Reverse
Loading Circuit
U3, U4B, U4C, U5D
The Forward/Reverse Loading circuit develops a load profile voltage

which is summed with the output of Ramp Generator U5C, to trigger
the SCR bridge and produce a drive voltage for the plunger motor.
Plunger pressure and velocity when loading are controlled by Error
Amplifier U5D. This loading circuit is compatible with both Mark V and
Mark V Plus Injector Heads, with a description for the operation of
both below:
Mark V Injector Head:
Forward or Reverse loading sends +26 volts input to the loading circuit (junction of R67 and R82). The circuitry of R67, R82, D20, D21,
and Q14, clamp the input voltage to U4C at +4.3 volts, simulating the
load profile developed on the original Mark V PDC. U4C generates a
negative load profile which is inverted by Error Amplifier U5D to produce an error signal. This error signal is summed with the Ramp Generator output to trigger the SCR bridge. Capacitor C16 provides the
slow start to simulate the original PDC.
11 - 13

Mark V Plus Injector Head:
Forward or Reverse loading sends a voltage that ranges from +7.912.9 volts (slow to fast). This voltage is sent to U4C (clamping by D20
not required), generating a negative load profile (-1.5 to -6.5) which is
inverted by Error Amplifier U5D to produce an error signal. This signal
is summed with the Ramp Generator output to trigger the SCR bridge.
Ten Volt Regulator U3 and Inverter U4B supply -10 volts to the input of
U4C. The summation of -10 volts and the load rate command voltage
at U4C, produce a 0 volt velocity command voltage in standby mode,
or when only one button is depressed on the injector head.
Fwd/Rev Loading
Error Amplifier
U5D
Error Amplifier U5D controls the plunger velocity and pressure limit
when forward or reverse loading. Below are descriptions of velocity
and pressure limit control.
Velocity Control:
U5D controls motor velocity by increasing or decreasing the error signal, based upon comparisons of the Load Profile (U4C), and inverted
Velocity signal (U2B and U5A). U4C produces a load profile voltage
that indicates the desired speed of the motor, while Velocity Amplifier
U2C produces an output voltage that represents the actual speed of
the motor. The Velocity signal is inverted by U5A, and summed with
the Load Profile at the inverting input to U5D.
If there is a negative difference (actual plunger rate is below the
desired plunger rate), U5D will increase the error signal, firing the
SCR bridge earlier in the sine-wave, producing more power for the
motor. Likewise, if there is a positive difference (actual plunger rate is
above the desired plunger rate), U5D will decrease the error signal,
firing the SCR bridge later in the sine-wave, producing less power for
the motor.
Pressure Limit Control:
reduces the error signal from U5B, thus limiting load rate and pressure.

it is directly proportional to the current through the motor. This voltage
is an input to Motor Current Amplifier U1D, the output of which is
applied to the non-inverting input of Overcurrent Shutdown comparator U1A. The inverting input to U1A is connected to a voltage divider,

Zero Crossing
Detector
U4A, U4D
The Zero Crossing Detector circuit establishes a timing reference for

triggering of the SCR bridge. This is done by producing a positive
pulse (-10v to +10v) which resets Ramp Generator U5C when the
input sine-wave passes through zero. These pulses are also applied
to Full Error Trigger Q9, through D6 and R30, to fire the SCR bridge
when needed.
Input to this circuit is the added, positive half-waves, from the 36 VAC
created by a circuit on the Motherboard (MBRI), forming a full-wave
input to U4A. U4A, an inverting amplifier with a gain of 2.06, together
with D30 and C15, form a peak detector which produces an output
voltage proportional to the incoming line voltage. This voltage sets the
input reference for Window Detector U4D, which produces a positive
output pulse when the input sine-wave is below the reference established by U4A (sine-wave passes through zero). All other times, the
output of U4D is negative saturation. The positive pulse, applied to the
gate of Q16, resets the Ramp Generator. The pulse width is approximately 1.2 mS @ 60 Hz, and 1.5 mS @ 50 Hz, and is clamped to +/10 volts by zener diodes D28 and D29 in the feedback loop of U4D.

provides a ground path for +26 volts (through R27, R28, and Q8),
which creates a positive to negative transition on the primary of pulse

Forward or Reverse loading sends a voltage that ranges from +7.912.9 volts (slow to fast). This voltage is sent to U4C (clamping by D20
not required), generating a negative load profile (-1.5 to -6.5) which is
inverted by Error Amplifier U5D to produce an error signal. This signal
is summed with the Ramp Generator output to trigger the SCR bridge.
Ten Volt Regulator U3 and Inverter U4B supply -10 volts to the input
of U4C. The summation of -10 volts and the load rate command voltage at U4C, produce a 0 volt velocity command voltage in standby
mode, or when only one button is depressed on the injector head.
Fwd/Rev Loading
Error Amplifier
U5D
Error Amplifier U5D controls the plunger velocity and pressure limit
when forward or reverse loading. Below are descriptions of velocity
and pressure limit control.
Velocity Control:
U5D controls motor velocity by increasing or decreasing the error signal, based upon comparisons of the Load Profile (U4C), and inverted
Velocity signal (U2B and U5A). U4C produces a load profile voltage
that indicates the desired speed of the motor, while Velocity Amplifier
U2C produces an output voltage that represents the actual speed of
the motor. The Velocity signal is inverted by U5A, and summed with
the Load Profile at the inverting input to U5D.
If there is a negative difference (actual plunger rate is below the
desired plunger rate), U5D will increase the error signal, firing the
SCR bridge earlier in the sine-wave, producing more power for the
motor. Likewise, if there is a positive difference (actual plunger rate is
above the desired plunger rate), U5D will decrease the error signal,
firing the SCR bridge later in the sine-wave, producing less power for
the motor.
Pressure Limit Control:
reduces the error signal from U5B, thus limiting load rate and pressure.

Drive Card
Refer to page 12 - 2 for a block diagram of the Mechanical Stop Drive
Card.
Differential Amplifier
The inputs to differential amp U2A are: Mechanical Stop Position

Command (BMSPOSCMD) and the Mechanical Stop signal (MSPOS)
from the Mechanical Stop Pot in the Injector Head. BMSPOSCMD
input represents the desired position of the Mechanical Stop. MSPOS
input represents actual position of the Mechanical Stop. The output of
U2A will be near zero volts when the Mechanical Stop is in position,
and will swing positive or negative when there is a difference between
BMSPOSCMD and MSPOS.
Absolute Value
Amplifier
Regardless of the polarity of the signal from U2A, the absolute value
circuit surrounding U2B provides a positive error signal to comparator U2C.
Comparator
One input to comparator U2C is a triangular waveform (generated by

U2D), the other, an error signal from U2B. U2C compares these
inputs, generating a pulse train which actuates drive transistor Q4.
The width of the pulses, which determine the duty cycle for Q4, vary
proportionally to the amplitude of the error signal from U2B.
Drive Transistor
Motor power is controlled by Q4, through the contacts of relay K1.
Direction Relay
Control Circuit
(Card revision D and below)

Relay K1 determines the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor. If
output of differential amplifier U2A is negative (meaning that the stop
should move back), Q7 energizes K1 and reverses motor direction.
Direction Relay
Control Circuit
(Card Revision E and above)

Relay K1 determines the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor.
The output of U2A is sent to the non-inverting input of U3, a high gain
comparator circuit. A comparator will switch between positive and
negative saturation, depending upon the polarity at the input. A hysteresis circuit provides positive feedback through R37 to prevent the
output of U3 from switching when the input is near 0 volts.
The output of U3 is then sent to Q7, a 2N3906 transistor that determines the directional control for the Mechanical Stop motor by switching K1 on the MSD card. When Q7 is OFF (output of U3 is at positive
saturation), the Mechanical Stop will move toward the rear of the
injector head (when the injector is armed). When Q7 is ON (output of
12 - 1

U3 is at negative saturation), the Mechanical Stop will move toward
the front of the injector head (when the injection is complete).
Triangular Ramp
Generator
A triangular waveform is generated on the U2D non-inverting input.
Overcurrent
Shutdown Circuit
If excessive current flows through sampling resistor R32, the voltage

developed activates Q5 and Q6, triggering one-shot U1, and disabling
ramp generator U2D.
Switched -26 VDC
A pair of normally-closed contacts on the Safe Relay complete the

path for -26 VDC to the Mechanical Stop Drive Card, which enables
the motor to run while the injector is disarmed. When the injector is
armed and the system has determined that the Mechanical Stop is in
position, the Safe Relay is energized and the contacts are opened to
the MSD Card, removing -26 VDC, which disables the motor.
Injector Head
Indicators
The armed light (L1) on the head is controlled by Q1. Indicators for
syringe size, and plunger position (appearing on the Mark V H5S
head only), are controlled by Q2 and Q3. Control signals for these
indicators originate at the 150/200 Enable on the I/O Card.

Power Supply Card
13
Power Supply Card

The Power Supply Card supplies all low voltage power (26V and
below) to the injector system. Two versions of the Power Supply Card
were produced. Version PSC, with serial numbers below 40000, is
board part number 78101-07-AP-01. Version PSP, with serial numbers
40000 and above, is board part number 78101-07-AP-03 (required in
-I units). Both of these boards are interchangeable for non -I units.
Refer to page 13 - 2 for a block diagram of the Power Supply Card.
+26 VDC and -26 VDC

Supply
One winding on the power transformer supplies fused 36 VAC to

bridge rectifier Z1. The center tap of the 36 VAC winding is ground.
Bipolar bridge output is filtered for +26 VDC, while outputs from Z1
are +26 VDC and -26 VDC. Both supplies are filtered before being
used to develop other voltages.
+15 VDC and -15 VDC

Supply
The +26 VDC supply is regulated to +15 VDC by U2, voltage is filtered
by C12. The -26 VDC supply is regulated to -15 VDC by U3, voltage is
filtered by C15.
+5 VDC
Regulator Circuit
The +26 VDC supply is filtered then regulated to +5 VDC using Pulse
Width Modulator (PWM) U1 to switch a portion of the +26 VDC supply
through FET Q4. Pins 11 and 14 of U1, will pulse low then high, at a
frequency determined by R13, R14, and C8 (approximately 330 KHz).
The pulses are ORed through D3 and D4, and applied to Q3 and Q5,
which will pulse the gate of FET Q4. Zener diode D2 protects Q4 by
limiting the gate to source voltage to a maximum of 15 volts. The output of Q4 is filtered by inductor L1, capacitors C1 - C3, and load resistor R1.
Regulation of the +5 VDC supply is through the PWM IC and support
circuitry. Resistors R19 and R20 set up reference at U1 pin 2. The +5
VDC is coupled back to U1 pin 1, through a voltage divider network of
R16 and R18. The two voltages are compared to determine pulse
width at U1 pins 11 and 14. If the voltage is low, pulse width is lengthened to increase voltage; if voltage is high, pulse width is shortened to
decrease voltage.
+5 VDC Overcurrent
Protection
The +5 VDC supply has overcurrent protection circuitry will shut down
the PWM IC (and +5 VDC circuit) if current exceeds 6-8 amperes. If
voltage across sampling resistor R2 exceeds a certain value, Q1 and
Q2 conduct, switching power to U1 pin 10 (Shut Down), which stops
pulses at pins 11 and 14. The PWM IC will restart and restore +5 VDC
if the overcurrent condition is eliminated.
13 - 1

+5 VDC Overvoltage
Protection
+5 VDC overvoltage protection is provided by 6.2 VDC zener diode

D6, and 3 amp picofuse F3 (on PSC), or 3.15 amp fuse F6 (on PSP).
If the supply rises above +5 VDC, D6 begins to conduct and draw current. If voltage continues to rise, D6 will breakdown and short the +5
VDC supply to ground. The combination of voltage and current drawn
when D6 shorts, will trigger F3 (on PSC) or F6 (on PSP) to open,
removing the +26 VDC from the PWM.

Injector Head
This section describes the components and circuitry in the Mark V and
Mark V Plus Injector Heads. Most areas are common to both injector
heads, with those not common, so noted. The following is a summary
of the primary injector head components:
Injector Head Body

Houses the drive and feedback systems for the syringe piston and
automatic mechanical stop.
Syringe Heater
Fits on pressure jacket; Maintains syringe fluid temperature at approximately 98.60 F (370 C).
Injector Head Scale Overlay/Plate
Contains the forward and reverse load controls and indicators that
show armed status, selected syringe size, piston position / Volume
Remaining, and Mechanical Stop position/status.
Turret Sensing Circuit and Limit Switches
Provide indication signals to the console if the turret is out of position,
or the Mechanical Stop is in contact with the Ball Nut Plate.
Head Cable
Connects to the rear of the Main Unit through a screw-on ring type
connector at J21. The Head Cable carries the drive voltages and
other signals which control Injector Head functions. Internal connector(s) aid in cable replacement.
14 - 1

Drive Systems
There are two motors and drive systems in the injector head: The
Syringe piston, and Automatic Mechanical Stop. The piston motor
(M1), is larger than the Mechanical Stop motor (M2). Both motors
incorporate belt drives for smooth, quiet operation.
Rotary motion of the piston motor (M1) is converted to linear motion
by a ballscrew. The Mechanical Stop Motor (M2), drives two acme
screws, one on each side of the piston. These acme screws move the
Mechanical Stop Plate between the ball nut plate and the front of the
head. The function of this drive system is to position the Mechanical
Stop as an over-volume prevention backup.
Feedback Pots
There are two independent feedback pots in the injector head which
share a common reference voltage. R1 monitors plunger position, and
R2 monitors Mechanical Stop position.
The wiper voltage from R1 is sent to the SCC, then buffered and filtered to derive the plunger position signal. This
signal represents the actual plunger position.
The wiper voltage from R2 is sent to the Mechanical Stop

Drive Card and the SCC, representing the actual Mechanical Stop position.
NOTE: On injector heads manufactured prior to 1992, R1 was

a 10K single pot. In order to improve reliability, R1 was
changed to a dual 20K pot, tied in parallel. These pots
are interchangeable but require different mounting
brackets.
Syringe Heater
The syringe heater is used to maintain the temperature of contrast

media in the syringe. Syringe heater temperature is maintained
through thermostats, and an over-temperature sensor/indicator in the
pod. Syringe heater supply voltage (+26 VDC) comes from the power
supply. A 2-pin connector allows quick replacement.
NOTES:
Some Syringe Heater cables contain a third (red) wire. This wire is
unused, and has been eliminated in new series syringe heaters,
designated by date codes 9029 and above.
14 - 2
The Mark V system syringe heater is similar in appearance only to

the Mark IV system syringe heater. The voltage requirement for
the Mark V syringe heater is +26 VDC, while that of the Mark IV
syringe heater is 36 VAC. The syringe heaters are not interchangeable.
Syringe heaters for all Mark V and MCT Systems are interchangeable.
Injector Head
Mark V Injector Head

Armed Light
Armed Light L1 receives ground through Q1 on the Mechanical Stop

Drive Card. The command for armed indication originates on the I/O
Card. As with the syringe heater and the limit switches, the Armed
Light uses the +26 VDC supply. When the injector is armed, with the
Mechanical Stop in position, Q1 receives pulses from the I/O Card,
causing the transistor to switch on and off, making L1 flash. When the
handswitch is pressed, input to Q1 is +5 VDC, putting Q1 in saturation
and completing the ground path for L1 (keeping the Armed light lit
continuously). Upon injection completion, input to Q1 will either go to
0 VDC (Single Arm), or receive pulses (MULTI Arm).
Position and
Syringe Size
Indicators
Plunger position is indicated by triangle-shaped LEDs DS1 and DS2,

attached to the Ball Nut Plate. Backlight LED LP2 and Plunger indicator DS2, indicate a selected 200 ml syringe size. Backlight LED LP1
and plunger indicator DS1 indicate a selected 150 ml syringe size.
The syringe size indicators are mounted on a fixed card below the
injector head control panel.
Both syringe size and position indicators are controlled by the MSD
Card, with inputs from the I/O Card.
Forward/Reverse
Load Circuit
The forward or reverse load membrane switches allow piston movement without engaging the normal injection circuitry. These controls
send a fixed voltage to the drive circuit on the PDCP/PDCI. The turret
must be in the locked position when loading. When FORWARD load
is pressed, +26 volts is switched directly through the load switch and
applied to the PDC drive circuit. When REVERSE load is pressed,
+26 volts is switched through transistor Q1 on the ICC and applied to
the drive circuit and Reverse relay K2. Pressing either load switch
when the injector is armed or injecting will disarm the injector.
Mechanical Stop
Position Indicator
The Mechanical Stop Position Indicator is a bar-shaped LED that

shows the position of the Mechanical Stop. The LED is mounted on a
T-shaped card, and attached to the Mechanical Stop Plate. The
Mechanical Stop Position Indicator receives +5VDC and ground,
through the Head Cable, therefore, is lit regardless of the syringe size
selected.
Turret and
Mechanical Stop
Limit Switches
There are two limit switches in the Injector Head. The turret limit
switch is normally closed, and indicates when the turret is out of injection position. The Mechanical Stop limit switch is normally closed, and
indicates when the Mechanical Stop Plate is in contact with the Ball
Nut Plate. The switches are connected in series to complete the path
to PIO3 on the Servo Control Card (TURLIMSW). If either switch is
disturbed, TURLIMSW goes to 0VDC, and the injector cannot be
armed.
14 - 3

Interconnect Card
(ICC)
The first circuit on the ICC is designed to prevent the Mechanical Stop
and Piston Plates from colliding when power is applied, by disabling
the Mechanical Stop motor when the piston is in the full forward position. The Mechanical Stop motor voltage path goes through a normally closed contact at relay K1 on the ICC Card. K1 is controlled by
comparator U1, which receives inputs from the plunger position
potentiometer, and a voltage divider network that establishes a reference for the comparator. Reference for non-inverting input of U1 (pin
2), is +9.35 VDC, set up by R3 and R4, with +10 VDC from the SCC
as the source and POT LOW as ground. Normally, pin 2 of U1 has a
voltage greater than that of pin 3, therefore, output of U1 (pin 6) is
positive saturation, which keeps K1 de-energized. As the piston
moves forward, either by injection or forward load, voltage at the
inverting input of U1 (pin 3) increases. When voltage at pin 3 of U1 is
equal to that at pin 2, output switches to negative saturation, and
energizes K1. The normally closed contacts open, and the voltage
path to the Mechanical Stop motor is broken.
The second circuit on the ICC eliminates direct switching of the +26
VDC supply for the Reverse Relay, through the Reverse Load switch.
The Reverse Relay electrically reverses polarity of the piston motor,
and is energized when the Reverse Load button is pressed. +26 VDC
is supplied to the collector of transistor Q1. When Reverse Load is
activated, Q1 saturates, and acting like a closed switch, sends +26
VDC to the Reverse Relay. This circuit is only used for Reverse, due
to the current requirements to directly energize the Reverse Relay.

Forward/Reverse/
Enable Circuit
This circuit provides variable forward and reverse load speed control,
using a soft pot which varies voltage applied to the PDCP/PDCI load
circuit. A soft pot is a flat, membrane-type potentiometer, that alters
resistance according to what point on the potentiometer is pressed.
The ENABLE button is a safeguard against accidental loading if either
the forward or reverse load button should fail in the closed position.
Forward/Reverse Loading:
When ENABLE is pressed, +15 volts is supplied to one side of the soft
pot; the other is connected to a voltage divider (referenced at 8.5
volts) through Q2. When both FORWARD and ENABLE are pressed,
soft pot wiper voltage is sent to RN1, then to transistor Q3. Q3 functions as a emitter follower, to buffer the forward load command, before
it is sent to the PDCP/PDCI. When REVERSE and ENABLE are
pressed, soft pot wiper voltage is sent to RN1, then to transistor Q5.
Q5 also functions as a emitter follower, buffering the reverse load
(REV) command before it is sent to the PDCP/PDCI. The voltage
range of the Forward or Reverse load command is +9.1 to 15 volts
(slow to fast).
If both Forward and Reverse load are pressed, there is no piston
movement. The non-inverting inputs of U2A and U2D are referenced
at +7 volts by voltage dividers R1, R4, and R3. The outputs are positive, and do not effect normal loading. When both load buttons are
pressed (assuming Enable is also pressed), both inverting inputs (of
U2A and U2D) will have a greater positive value than the reference
voltage (+9.1 volts minimum), causing outputs to go to zero. This
makes Z2 and Z6 (5.1 volt zener diodes) conduct, clamping the load
voltage sent to the PDCP/PDCI (junctions of Z2/Q3 and Z6/Q5) at
+5.1 volts. This low amplitude is not sufficient to drive the piston
motor, and will therefore disarm the injector.
Timed Enable Button:

Timed Enable is designed to allow the operator to move the plunger
piston forward or reverse by using the Forward/Reverse softpots only
after the ENABLE button is depressed. In a no load condition, the
Enable input is at +5V. Zener diode Z1 keeps the Enable LED off until
the ENABLE button is pressed.
When the ENABLE button is pressed, the Enable input (J71, pin 8)
goes to +15V at the junction of Z1 and C3. This input provides two
functions. First, the Enable LED Indicator receives positive voltage
through Z1 and R8, causing it to illuminate. Second, +15V is applied
to the junction of C3 and RN1/RN2, producing a positive pulse. The
positive pulse is applied to the inverting input of U2A pin 6, switching
the output to negative. This negative output is applied to the trigger
14 - 6
Injector Head
input of U1 pin 2, producing a positive pulse for U2B. Pulse duration is
approximately 5 seconds. This pulse, applied to U2B pin 4, causes
the output of U2B to switch negative. Q1 conducts and passes +15V
to hold the Enable line input positive. The action continues throughout
the duration of the pulse.
When the FWD or REV button button is pressed, +8V to +14V is
applied to the inverting input of U2D through RN1/D1 (FWD) or RN1/
D2 (REV). R1 and C6 provide a 100 mS delay when the load button is
pressed. When a U2D inverting input votage is greater than +5.5V,
the output of U2D will switch the output negative. This negative voltage discharges capacitor C5, and prevents U1 from resetting.
NOTE: If the load button is released, the Timed Enable circuit
will remain active for approximately 5 seconds. One
button loading is still available during this time.
If FWD or REV is pressed prior to, or simultaneously with, the
ENABLE button, the Timed Enable circuit is disabled, and the injector
head functions as a standard Mark V Plus injector head. This occurs
when the inverting input to U2C (pin 10) goes more positive than the
non-inverting input (pin 11 referenced at +1.9V). The output of U2C
switches to negative, grounding the inverting input to U2A. If the
ENABLE switch is pressed, the pulse developed by C3 and RN1/RN2
is grounded, and the Timed Enable circuit is not activated.
Single Button Disarm:

Pressing any button, or combination of buttons on the Injector Head,
will disarm the injector. Approximately 2-5 volts is required to disable
the Safe Relay and disarm the injector. If Forward or Reverse load are
pressed, +5 volts supplies the soft pots through D4, and follows the
same path as normal loading. If Enable is pressed, +15 volts goes
through the switch, R11, D3 and D5, and Q3 and Q5 to the PDCP/
PDCI. In either case, the voltage is sensed as a disarm.
Forward/Reverse
Clamping Circuit
This circuit protects the piston motor and ballscrew from high speed
collisions by clamping the load command at the slow speed value
when the piston is approximately 0.25 (0.635 cm) from forward or
reverse limits. At fast speed, approximately +14 volts is applied to the
drive circuit on the PDCP. As the piston approaches front or rear limits, the load command is clamped to +9.1 volts (slow speed).
Forward Load Clamp - U1B/Z1:
The non-inverting input of U1B is referenced at +9.0 volts by a voltage
divider consisting of R8, R9, R7, and R17. The inverting input is a
buffered plunger position voltage (U3A), while output of U1B is in positive saturation if the plunger position is below the reference. As the
piston moves forward, plunger position voltage increases. When the
reference input is reached, U1B goes to zero, making Z1 (9.1 volts
zener diode) conduct, clamping the forward load command (base of
Q3) to +9.1 volts, driving the motor at slow speed.
14 - 7

Reverse Load Clamp - (U2B/Z5):
The inverting input of U2B is referenced at +0.66 volts by a voltage
divider consisting of R8, R9, R7, and R17. The non-inverting input is a
buffered plunger position voltage (U3A), while output of U2B is in positive saturation if plunger position is above the reference. As the piston
moves in reverse, plunger position voltage decreases. When voltage
drops below the reference input, U2B goes to zero, making Z5 (9.1
volts zener diode) conduct; thus clamping the reverse load command
(base of Q5) to +9.1 volts, driving the motor at slow speed.
Volume Remaining
Display
(3002033)
The Volume Remaining Display provides a 3 digit display of the

amount of contrast media remaining in the syringe. DVM IC U4 uses
the buffered plunger position from U2A to derive the Volume Remaining Display (seven segment LED output). The plunger position is
inverted and offset by U2C and sent to the scale switching voltage
divider network R23, R4, R6, R14, R16, Q5, and Q6. The output of the
divider is sent to the input of U4.
PALs U8 and U9 buffer the LED outputs and drive the seven segment
LEDs directly (non-multiplexed). The PALs are also responsible for
all leading zero blanking, and displaying 200.
U5 is a supply IC that produces the -5V supply required by U4.
Volume Remaining
Display
(78101-13-AP-01 and
78101-15-AP-01)
The Volume Remaining Display provides a 3 digit display of the

amount of contrast media remaining in the syringe. DVM IC U6 uses
plunger position (analog input) to derive the Volume Remaining Display (multiplexed, 7-segment LED output). The plunger position feedback potentiometer voltage is buffered by U3A before it is sent to U6.
U3B establishes the voltage reference for U6 (scaling). The voltage
reference (VR) determines display output for a given analog input.
Display enables are controlled by D1-4 of U6, through inverters
U8A,C,D. If the value is zero, U7 controls the blanking of the 100s
display (DS4), and the 10s display (DS5). U7 also controls the displays enabling the appropriate read-out.
Turret Sensing
Circuit
The Turret Sensing circuit detects if the turret is in position for an

injection or loading without the use of mechanical limit switches.
Turret Detection:
When the turret is in position, +26 volts follows a series path from the
Injector Head to the PDCP and SCC. When the turret is in position,
+26 volts is switched through transistor Q7. Q7 is enabled by either
U8E/D8 or U4C/D9, depending upon turret position. Next, the voltage
is sent through the normally open contacts of the Mechanical Stop
Limit switch; then, to energize Safe Relay K1 (PDCP/PDCI) and U16
(PIO 3 on the SCC), alerting the system that the injector head is ready
for injection. To determine if the turret is in position, an optical sensing
circuit is used. Two optical sensors, mounted on a PC Card in the
Injector Head, are set-up as active high, meaning that the transistor
14 - 8
Injector Head
portion of the sensor is ON (or active), when infrared light passes from
the LED to the base of the transistor. The slotted drum, mounted on
the turret shaft, rotates with the turret, and permits activation of the
sensor that corresponds to turret position.
Mechanical Stop
Position / Arm Light
Enable Circuit
This circuit provides a visual indication that the Mechanical Stop is in

position, and that the injector is armed. When the injector is armed,
the software sends a position command to the Mechanical Stop DAC,
producing an analog command voltage for the MSD Card, which
drives the Mechanical Stop motor. Mechanical Stop position is
tracked by the Mechanical Stop Position Feedback Potentiometer.
When the position feedback voltage indicates that the Mechanical
Stop is correctly positioned (through software comparison with the
Mechanical Stop Position Command), the system sends an ARMED
indication through the I/O and MSD cards, which lights the Mechanical
Stop Set LED, and makes the Arm Light Bar flash.
Mechanical Stop in Position:
In standby, the non-inverting input of U1A is +5 volts (charging of C8
through R14), and inverting input is +3.4 volts (voltage divider R21/
R26), making the output of U1A positive saturation. When the injector
is armed, and the system has determined that the Mechanical Stop is
correctly positioned, ARMLTDR alternates low then high, momentarily
discharging C8 through D1, dropping the non-inverting input to zero.
Positive 3.4 volts on the inverting input causes the output to go to
zero, which makes Q1 conduct, supplying ground to light Mechanical
Stop Set LED DS1. The narrow width of the ARMLTDR pulses, coupled with the large value of R14, prevents C8 from charging, keeping
output of U1A at zero, and the LED lit continuously until the injector is
disarmed.
Arm Light Bar Enable:
When the injector is armed, ARMLTDR alternates low then high,
causing the Arm Light Bar to flash. When the handswitch is pressed to
initiate the injection, ARMLTDR stays low, keeping the Arm Light Bar
lit continuously throughout the injection. When the injection is complete, ARMLTDR will either alternate low then high (MULTI Arm), or
remain high (SINGLE Arm).
Mechanical Stop
Motor Disable
This circuit disables the Mechanical Stop motor M2 if the piston is in

the full forward position when power is applied. This prevents the
Mechanical Stop and piston plates from colliding during Self Test. The
voltage path for M2 goes through the normally-closed contacts of
relay K1 (located on the Injector Head Card), which is controlled by
U2C. U2C compares the plunger position with a set reference to energize K1. The non-inverting input of U2C (pin 9), is fixed at +9.35 volts
by a voltage divider network (R7,R8,R9,R17), while the inverting input
(pin 8), receives the buffer plunger position voltage from U3A. When
the piston is not at full forward limit, voltage at pin 9 is greater than
that at pin 8, making the output of U2C (pin 14) positive saturation, deenergizing K1. As the piston moves forward, voltage at pin 8
14 - 9

increases. When the voltage at pin 8 exceeds that at pin 9, U2C
switches to zero, making Q4 conduct, and energizing K1. The normally-closed contacts of K1 open, breaking the Mechanical Stop
motor voltage path.
SIP Switches
The 78101-15-AP-01 (H5D) universal injector head Display Card contains several SIP type switches for proper set-up of the card. The
switches must be set according to the type of injector head in which
the card is installed. Refer to the chart below:

Mark V / Mark V Plus to be interfaced with film changer programmers,
computer systems, and other digital imaging equipment. This card
also provides I/O for control and synchronization of the injection for
remote monitoring.
NOTE: When reference is made to input and output, the reference is in respect to the injector.
Two interface groups are provided: Analog Outputs (J15 or J106), and
the Imaging System Interface (J40). The analog outputs provide information about the injection for display or recording. The following signals are provided by the Analog group (available at J15 or J106 on the
injector rear panel):
Injection Duration
Injection Flow Profile / Velocity
Injection Volume
High-Level ECG Output w/optional Trigger

Output Marker (J15 only)
To achieve control and synchronization, eight inputs and outputs are

provided by the Imaging System Interface group (available at J40 on
the injector rear panel):
Disarm control input
Armed / Extended Armed signal output
Handswitch disable input
X-Ray Trigger Output
Injector start input
ECG Gated output
Injecting signal output
Handswitch Closed
15 - 1
CAUTION: The Remote Start Signal from the film changer

programmer (at pins 7 and 9 of J40), must never contain
voltage or AC noise. Any voltage applied to these pins can
damage the injector and void the warranty. An excess of
50 or 60 cycle AC noise on these lines may cause intermittent problems of premature, or no injections.
CAUTION: The Remote Start Signal from the film changer
programmer must remain closed throughout the duration
of the injection. If the start signal is removed before the
injection volume limits when armed in the SINGLE mode,
the injection will stop, the unit will disarm, and display
PREMATURE TERMINATION on the Control Panel. If
the start signal is removed before the injection volume limits when armed in the MULTIple mode, the injection will
stop, the Mechanical Stop will reposition at the selected
volume, and the unit will remain armed. If a start signal is
received at this time, an additional injection will result at
the selected Flow Rate and Volume.
It is recommended that the remote start command remain
closed for approximately three additional seconds after the
calculated injection duration. This additional time should
allow completion of the injection in the event that the actual
injection duration is longer than the calculated duration.
(When the injector pressure limits, and/or a linear rise factor is programmed, the calculated injection duration will
increase accordingly.)
15 - 2
CAUTION: When starting the injection process from a

remote location by the use of a relay closure in the film
changer programmer, always install a panic button in
series with the start signal. This function must be provided
in the event that the operator must immediately terminate
the injection. This button should be installed in a convenient location, properly labeled, and instructions for use
provided to all users of the injection system.

Analog Output
Signals
Analog signal circuits are contained on the Mark V / Mark V Plus ISI
100 Option Card. For the following description, refer to the block diagram on page 15 - 5. Output voltages of J15 (J106) are referenced to
buffered ground J15-11 (J106-9,10,11).
Injection Duration
Output Circuit
The purpose of this output signal is to display and record on an external monitor when the Mark V / Mark V Plus is actually injecting.
Buffer U1D and associated components, comprise the Injection Duration Output Circuit. This signal, at connector J15 (J106), pin 1 (1), displays the time duration of the injection. The output will be at zero during
standby, +5 VDC during the injection. (See also, Injecting Output Circuit).
Injection Volume
Output Circuit
The purpose of this output signal is to display and record on an external monitor the voltage at the beginning and end of an injection. The
difference between these two values is equal to the actual volume
injected.
Buffer U1A and associated components, comprise the Injection Volume Output Circuit. This signal, at connector J15 (J106) pin 13 (3),
tracks the plunger position. Subtracting the position at the end of an
injection from the position at the start, is the actual volume injected.
Signal voltage varies with the syringe size in use:
200 ML syringe = +0.6 VDC/10 ml
Injection Flow Profile

Output Circuit
(Velocity)
The purpose of this output signal is to display and record on an external monitor, a voltage change which is proportional to the achieved
Flow Rate (not the selected Flow Rate).
Buffer U1B and associated components, comprise the Injection Flow
Profile Output Circuit. This signal, at connector J15 (J106) pin 4 (2), is
directly proportional to the actual achieved Flow Rate. Switching FET
Q4 adjusts the gain of U1B, adapting for different syringe sizes. Signal
voltage varies with syringe size:
150 or 200 ML syringe = 2.0 VDC/10 ml/sec.
60 ML syringe = 6.5 VDC/10 ml/sec.
High Level ECG

Output
15 - 4
The purpose of the High Level ECG Output signal is to display and
record, on an external monitor, the patient ECG signal which is present
on the Mark V / Mark V Plus optional ECG/Scope. It is most common to
use this output signal when patient ECG electrodes are connected to
the Medrad PMI 100 ECG pre-amp, which then connects to the Mark V
/ Mark V Plus. The signal (2.2 volts, baseline to peak) is available at
J15 pin 7, or J106 pin 4.

Amplifiers U2A, U2B, U2D, and associated circuitry, are used to buffer
and filter the output of the pre-amp to J15 pin 7, or J106 pin 4.
ECG Trigger
Output Marker
The Mark V and Mark V Plus not only have the capability to perform
ECG triggered injections (with the optional ECG Trigger), but also to
display the ECG trigger point on the internal scope by the use of an
Intensified Spot, superimposed on the QRS complex. The purpose of
the ECG Trigger Output Marker (TOM), is to display this Intensified
Spot information on an external monitor.
The ECG Trigger Output Marker is an addition to the High Level ECG
Output signal from J15 pin 7, or J106 pin 4. When switch S2 or jumper
JU2C is closed, a 1 volt rectangular pulse from U6 is superimposed on
the High Level ECG Output signal. This pulse, 40 - 50ms in duration,
coincides with the Intensified Spot on the Mark V / Mark V Plus internal
Scope. This depicts the beginning of an injection, and can be displayed
on an external monitor. This signal uses the High Level ECG output of
J15, pins 11 and 7, or J106, pins 4 and 9.
Buffered Ground
Circuit
Buffer U1C and drivers Q1 and Q2, provide a buffered ground at connector J15, pin 11 (J106-9, 10, 11). This circuit maintains zero volts at
the ground for accurate measurements. By isolating the return line from
the injector ground, this circuit protects other circuits in the injector, in
the event that pin 11 (9, 10, 11) would have a large external voltage
applied to it.
Figure 15.2: Block Diagram: Analog Output Signals

15 - 5

The Imaging System Interface Circuits are contained on the Mark V /
Mark V Plus ISI 100 Option Card. The disarm and handswitch disable
inputs are buffered by the ISI Isolation Card, a separate card mounted
on the motherboard. Newer units have ISI Isolation Card circuitry
incorporated directly into the circuitry of the motherboard, therefore
eliminating the separate card. For the following description, refer to
the block diagram on page 15 - 9.
Disarm Input Circuit
Inverters / buffers U3D and U3E comprise the Remote Disarm Input
Circuit. These components are controlled by an external switch closure, connecting J40 pins 6 and 8. When the external switch closes,
U3D activates a signal that disarms, or prevents arming of the injector. When the external switch opens, the injector can then be armed.
!
Handswitch Disable
Input Circuit
CAUTION: Do not apply voltage to J40 pins 6 or 8. Equipment damage or malfunction may result.
Inverter U3A and relay K3 comprise the Handswitch Disable Input Circuit. This circuit is controlled by an external switch closure, connecting
J40 pins 5 and 6. This circuit can disable the injector handswitch,
making the start of an injection possible only from a remote start control. This disabling is useful in the prevention of miscued starts by the
operator when connected to an imaging system. When the external
switch closes, relay K3 energizes and disables the handswitch circuit.
When the external switch opens, the handswitch circuit again functions normally.
NOTE: This input disables the Front Panel start switch, J13 on
CRC units and pedestal units serial numbered 63202
and above, the front cord reel on pedestal units, and
J121 and J122 on -PI units.
NOTE: When using this input, the injector can still be started
from the Remote Panel (if the jumper on the the RPC
Card is connecting pins 1 and 2), J19/J20, or J40. Pedestal units serial numbered below 63202 can also be
started from a handswitch or footswitch attached at
connector J13.
Handswitch
Operated Output
15 - 6
The following component designations are for CRC MBR Motherboards. For Pedestal Systems (EPI Cards), Q4 is designated as Q2,
and for -I Pedestal Systems (MICC Cards), K2 is designated as K3,
and Q4 is designated as Q2. This circuit provides an indication that
the handswitch is closed when the Handswitch Disable circuit is
active, through relay K2 and transistor Q4. When J40 pins 5 and 6 are
shorted, the Handswitch Disable circuit is enabled, and the normal

ground path of the handswitch is opened. When the handswitch is
depressed, Q4 will activate, supplying ground to energize K2. This provides a relay closure at J40 pins 14 and 15, thus supplying the external
device with an indication then the handswitch is depressed. When the
Handswitch Disable circuit is disabled, J40 pins 5 and 6 are open, and
K2 is disabled. Relay contacts at J40 pins 14 and 15 are rated for 28
VDC at 1 amp.
Injector Start Input
This input, at J40 pins 7 and 9, is used to start the injector from the
Imaging System. This connection is the same as other hard-wired start
switches. To start the injector after it has been armed, provide a switch
or a pair of normally open, isolated relay contacts. The contacts must
remain closed during the entire injection. Opening these contacts during the injection will result in the termination of the injection.
!
Injecting Output
Circuit
The purpose of this output signal is very similar to that of the Injection
Duration Output. The Injection Duration output is a voltage to an external monitor, while the injecting output is a relay closure to an Imaging
System.
Inverter U3B and relay K2, comprise the Injecting Output Circuit. This
injecting output from the injector, indicates when an injection is occurring, and is useful for timing, synchronization, and as a status indicator.
Relay contacts of J40 pins 1 and 2, are open during standby, including
when the injector is armed but not injecting. The contacts are closed
during an injection, and open when the volume limit is reached, or the
start switch is opened. Relay contact rating is 28 VDC, at 1 amp.
Armed Output
Signals
J40 pins 3 and 4, provide an Armed output signal, or an Extended

Armed Output signal as detailed below. At installation, switch S3 or
jumper JU2A is used to select the appropriate signal: The purpose of
this signal is to alert the film changer or Imaging System that the injector is armed and ready to inject, before initiating the filming sequence.
Switch S3 or jumper JU2A is used to select either the Armed or
Extended Armed output from pins 3 and 4 of J40.
Armed Output Signals
Inverter U3C and relay K1 comprise the armed output circuit. The signal at J40 pins 3 and 4, indicates when the injector is armed. The relay
contacts are open when disarmed, or closed when single or multiple
armed, regardless of start switch status. The injector must be armed
before any injection can start. Relay contact maximum rating is 28
VDC, at 1 amp.
Extended Armed Output
This output uses the Armed Output Signal relay contacts. When the
injector is armed, the contacts close, giving an indication to the imag15 - 7

ing system that the injector is ready to inject. When the injection is
complete, and the start switch (or external start lines) remain closed,
the Extended Armed relay will remain closed, allowing the imaging
system to complete the filming sequence. Although the Extended
Armed Output remains active with the start lines closed, the Safe
Relay will de-energize when a single bolus injection is complete.
Relay contact maximum rating is 28 VDC, at 1 amp.
X-Ray Trigger Output
This signal is the conventional Film Changer Trigger Relay. This signal allows the injector to automatically trigger the film changer during
an injection procedure.
This connection, at J40 pins 10 and 11, uses the standard Film
Changer Relay located in the Control Unit of the Mark V / Mark V Plus
This output provides an isolated relay closure that is open during
standby, or closed when three conditions are satisfied: the injector is
armed, the start switch is closed, and the X-Ray delay has passed.
Once closed, the contacts will remain closed until the start switch is
opened.
This connection is also present as a standard feature on the Mark V /
Mark V Plus, and is available at X-Ray connector J19 on the rear
panel. To eliminate the running of two cables, this connection can be
wired through J40, and the ISI 100 interface cable, XMC-905. Relay
contact maximum rating of 28 VDC at 10 amps.
ECG Gated Output
The purpose of this output is to cycle the Cine camera on and off, in
conjunction with the ECG triggering of contrast media, to minimize
exposure time.
This output uses a set of normally open relay contacts at J40 pins 12
and 13. The ECG Gated Output can be selected, by switch S4 or
jumper JU2B, to give a pulsed output (relay K5 opening and closing)
representing either an R-wave input or the Intensified Spot input. The
duration of this signal is factory set at 200 milliseconds, however it
may be adjusted for any duration between 10mS and 400mS by
adjusting the value of R44. The ECG Gated Output uses pins 12 and
13 of J40. Relay contact maximum rating is 28 VDC at 1 amp.
NOTE: The ISI-100R card can be installed in place of either an
ISI-100 Card or an IDC (Interface Dummy Card), the
Extended Armed Output may be accessed with minimal unit modification. The ECG Gated Output and Trigger Output Marker options require wiring modifications
if they are to be accessed in an ECG/Scope injector.
Mark V / Mark V Plus Pedestal Systems, serial number
5I4SU 22138 and above, will not require these modifications.
NOTE: To utilize ECG Gated Output or Trigger Output Marker
signal, an injector must have the ECG/Scope option.

ISI Card 78101-10-AP-16 (with Siemens Z5 Option)

When jumper JU5 is set to universal mode, operation of ISI Card
78101-10-AP-16 is identical to previous release ISI Cards. When JU5
is set to the Z5 option (Siemens Interface), card operation is altered
as outlined below.
Injector Arming
When the injector is armed, a high signal (+5V) is supplied to U5D,

pins 12 and 13, which produces a low (0V or ground) at pin 11. The
low is directly coupled to U4A pin 2, producing a high output at U4A
pin 3. The low causes relay K1 to energize, thus supplying +26VDC
through connector J40 pin 4, to one side of the coil for relay SR4 in
the Siemens equipment interface. The other side of SR4 is connected
to Buffered Ground (BGND) through J40 pin 3. When SR4 energizes,
+26VDC is supplied to one side of coils of Siemens interface relays
SR1, SR2, and SR3.
Injection Initiation
In this interface mode, the injection is initiated by the Siemens imaging equipment. When the Injector Start command is initiated (on the
Siemens equipment), relays SR1, SR2, and SR3 energize, supplying
+26VDC to the coils of relay K2 on the ISI Card. The other side of the
coil is connected to BGND through JU5, pins 5 and 6. When K2 energizes, BGND is supplied to J40 pin 2. Internal to the interface cable
(XMC 970, 971, 972, or 973) is a jumper between J40 pin 2 and 9
(J40 pin 9 is the Remote Start), thus when K2 energizes, BGND is
supplied to J40 pin 9 through J40 pin 2.

Remote Panel
16
Remote Panel
The Remote Panel is a microprocessor controlled device for communicating with the Mark V / Mark V Plus console. It allows the user to
program and monitor the injector from a remote location. Remote
Panel operations are essentially the same as with the Control Panel
on the Mark V / Mark V Plus console.
Through a cable, the Remote Panel connects to J22 on the rear connector panel, which provides power to the Remote Panel, and allows
two-way serial communication between the devices.
The communication protocol is RS-232C, with automatic retries and
error checking. During power-up or recovery from System Monitor
faults, the Remote Panel and console try to establish error-free communications. If communication errors occur, an error message will be
displayed on one of the Sentinels.
The Remote Panel is comprised of a Remote Panel Control Card and
a Display Card connected by a ribbon cable.
The microprocessor, memory chips, interface logic, and power supply
are contained on the Remote Panel Control Card, and described in
more detail in this section. Keyboard control logic and displays are
contained on the Display Card in the Front Panel assembly, and are
described in Section 10.
16 - 1
Remote Panel Controller Card

Refer to the block diagram on page 16 - 4.
The Remote Panel Controller Card consists of two major sections:
Digital Logic
Power Converter.
Digital Logic
The digital logic portion on the Remote Panel Control Card is comprised of the microprocessor, memory chips, and interface logic.
CPU
The CPU (U13) is supported by 16 Kbytes of EPROM / PROM (program memory), and 8 Kbytes of RAM. The processor interfaces with
the remaining logic through an 8-bit data bus, 16-bit address bus, and
5-line control bus.
Clock
Crystal Y2 (8.0 MHz), with U8 and U6, generates a clock signal of 4

MHz for the CPU and associated peripherals. Crystals Y1 (3.6864
MHz) and U6 provide the UART U10 clock on Revision B boards and
below. Boards above Revision B (RDCP 45241 and above) supply
UART U10 with a 1.843 mHz (Y1) crystal oscillator clock.
Memory
Processor memory is comprised of three chips: U15 and U16, each

providing 16 Kbytes of program memory (EPROM); U14, providing 8
Kbytes of data memory (RAM).
Memory / I/O Decoder
Memory / I/O decoder U12 receives the CPU address, data and control busses, and decodes and activates the peripheral chips.
PIO
Programmable Input/Output chip U2 provides the processor with 17 I/

O lines: Twelve of these lines (A0-A3, B0-B7) scan the panel keyboard; One output line (A7) drives buzzer BZ1; One line (A6) is the
remote handswitch input; One output, A5, drives the Arm light of an
armed indicating handswitch.
For additional information on Keypad inputs, see the I/O Card
Description on page 7 - 1.
CTC
Counter-timer chip U5 provides several functions for the processor.

Counters in the CTC let the processor time internal events. The CTC
receives interrupt requests from UART U10, and controls interrupts to
the processor.
UART
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) U10, serially

communicates with the Main Unit. The UART converts parallel data
bus information into serial information. Data sent from the Remote
Panel to the console is formatted and transmitted by the UART. Data
from the main unit is received by the UART, is converted to parallel
format, and interrupts the CPU to signal that data is present in the
receive holding register.
16 - 2
Remote Panel
Line Drivers
Level converting drivers in U9 (RPC) or U20 (RPCP) change the

UART 0 and 5 VDC transmission signals into 12 VDC signals (RPC)
or 10 VDC (RPCP), respectively. These signals are then compatible
with the RS-232C communication standard.
Line Receivers
Level converting receivers in U11 (RPC) or U20 (RPCP) change

incoming RS-232C signals (12 VDC on RPC or 10 VDC on RPCP)
into 0 and 5 VDC signals, respectively. These signals are then compatible with the UART, and can be assembled for the processor.
Display Decoder
Display driver U4 interfaces with the Display Card. U4 receives the

address and control buses from the processor, an enable line from
decoder U12, and provides enable strobes to the 4 display drivers on
the Display Card.
Bus Buffers
Bus signals transmitted from the processor to the Display Card are
buffered by U3 and U7.
PIO Output Buffer
Logic inverter U1 buffers the A5-A7 PIO outputs.
Ferrite Beads
(RPCP only)
Ferrite Beads FB1-FB11 are used to suppress noise transmitted from

the power source. The beads are also used on transmit receive lines
for U20, the arm light, and PIO start inputs.
Wait State
RPCP boards numbered below 45241 utilized a Zilog Z8581 clock

generator. The Zilog Z8581 has system wait state features which were
required for INTERSIL display drivers. These display drivers require a
4 mHz operating system wait state for proper operation.
RPCP boards numbered 45241 and above utilize the Intel D82C284-8
clock generator, which will not support wait state, and new generation
MAXIM and HARRIS display drivers which do not require wait-state
support.

Figure 16.1: Block Diagram: Remote Panel Digital Logic
16 - 4
Remote Panel
DC to DC Converter
Refer to the block diagram on page 16 - 6.
The DC to DC converter is responsible for converting +26 volt (supplied through the Remote Panel cable) to a regulated +5 volts, in
order to power the digital circuitry. The method of regulating the +5
volts supply is like that used on the Power Supply Card, with the
exception of component designation differences. In addition, on RPC
cards only, the output of switching FET Q4 generates +12 and -12
volts, required by the RS-232 for Remote Panel communications.
+5 Volt Regulator
Circuit
The +26 volt supply is filtered and regulated to +5 volts using Pulse
Width Modulator (PWM IC) U17, switching the +26 volt supply through
FET Q4. Pins 11 and 14 of U17, will pulse low then high, at a frequency determined by R30, R31, and C38 (approximately 150 KHz).
The pulses are ORed through D5 and D8, and applied to Q5 and Q6,
which pulse the gate of FET Q4. Zener diode D9 protects Q4 by limiting the gate to source voltage to a maximum 15 volts. The output of
Q4 is filtered by transformer T1 or inductor L1, capacitors C26 and
C27 or C26 and C52, and load resistor R12.
Regulation of the +5 volt supply is through the PWM and support circuitry. Resistor R32 and R33 establish reference at U17 pin 2. +5 volts
is coupled back to U17 pin 1, through a voltage divider network of R28
and R34. Voltages are compared to determine pulse width at U17 pins
11 and 14. If voltage is low, pulse width is lengthened to increase voltage; if voltage is high, pulse width is shortened to decrease voltage.
+5 Volt Overcurrent
Protection
The +5 volt supply has overcurrent protection circuitry which will shut
down the PWM IC (and the +5 volts) if current exceeds 2-4 amperes.
If voltage across sampling resistor R13 exceeds a certain value, Q2
and Q3 conduct, sending +10 to +12 volts through Q3, to U17 pin 10
(Shut Down), which stops pulses at pins 11 and 14. The PWM IC will
restore the +5 volts if the overcurrent condition is eliminated.
+5 Volt Overvoltage
Protection
+5 volts overvoltage protection is provided by 6.2 volt zener diode D8,

and 3 amp picofuse F1. If supply rises above +5 volts, D8 conducts,
drawing current. If voltage continues to rise, D8 will breakdown, shorting the +5 volts supply to ground. The combination of voltage and current drawn when D8 shorts, will cause F1 to open, removing +26 volts
from the PWM IC.
+12/-12 Volts
Regulator Circuit
(RPC only)
Remote Panel RS-232 serial communication circuitry requires +12/-12

volts as a supply voltage, to ensure sufficient voltage and current
required to send information over cable lengths of up to 100 feet (30.5
meters). Line Driver U9 converts the 0 to + 5 volts of UART U10, to
+12 and - 12 volts respectively. The primary winding of transformer T1
(described in the +5 volt regulator circuit), receives 0 to +26 volt
16 - 5

pulses from switching FET Q4. The secondary of T1 develops 30 VAC
CT (15 VAC each winding). Positive pulses are rectified by diode D4,
filtered by capacitor C31, and sent to +12 volt regulator U19 to
become +12 VDC. Negative pulses are rectified by diode D3, filtered
by capacitor C32, and sent to +12 volt regulator U18 to become -12
VDC. Outputs are filtered before being sent to U9.

ECG/Scope Option
17
ECG/Scope Option
NOTE: The ECG / Scope option is not available on -I units.
Overview
The purposes of the ECG trigger are: To start an injection synchronized

to the patients heart rate, to control the number of boluses delivered
over a number of cardiac cycles, and to interrupt the injection if an Rwave occurs during a bolus. These features are variable and can be
switched off.
The purpose of the Scope is: To display the ECG and injection profile.
This display aids in set up of ECG triggered injections, and interpretation of the results.
The ECG section functions to obtain and detect an R-wave. The
remainder of the triggering, timing, display, and panel inputs, are controlled by software.
If a unit contains the ECG/Scope option and a Remote Panel, when
power is applied to the ECG section, the Remote Panel can be used in
the monitor mode only.
In Control Room Console systems, the ECG/Scope Unit cannot be positioned more than 6 ft.(1.83 m) from the CRC.
There is some overlap between the ECG and Scope circuits. Some circuits serve both functions, with interconnections between functions. To
track the connections between the ECG/Scope Circuit Cards, and
between these cards and the main unit, refer to the ECG/Scope Interconnection and Motherboard Schematics.
General Description
ECG Input
These circuits receive an ECG signal and process it for R-wave triggering and timing, which is used for all ECG and Scope functions.
A sandwich of cards that process keyed inputs from the Control Panel,
display values pertinent to the ECG/Scope, and provide signals and
controls to other circuits.
Scope Memory Card
Provides most of the functions required by the Scope, including signal
processing, memory, and synchronization.
17 - 1

General Description
(cont.)

Controls vertical and horizontal deflection and display functions.
Provides power for the Scope drive circuits and display tube.
ECG Input
These circuits receive the ECG signal and process it for R-wave triggering and timing, which is used for all ECG and Scope functions.
There are two ways of obtaining an ECG input with the Mark V: High
level input signal from a monitor, or Low level signal from electrodes
applied directly to the patient. With high level input, the monitor
derives input from patient electrodes, and amplifies it for the injector.
By using this signal, use of a second set of electrodes can be avoided.
The standard ECG circuits can accept a high level signal. Circuitry is
contained on the ISI Card and the I/O Card. The optional ECG preamp is needed to process a low level signal, which derives power
from the injector, and supplies a high level ECG signal to the ISI Card.
The following encompasses circuitry in three areas and functions:
17 - 2
ECG Pre-amp: Low level ECG input
ISI Card: High level ECG input
I/O Card: R-wave detection
Figure 17.1: Block Diagram: ECG Input Section
ECG/Scope Option
ECG Pre-amp:
Low Level ECG Input
The ECG pre-amp is required when ECG input for the injector is being
obtained directly from patient electrodes. This module plugs into J44
on the back of the injector through a 25 ft. (7.6 m) cable, and permits
placement of the pre-amp next to the patient. For a block diagram of
the ECG input section, refer to figure 17.1.
The pre-amp receives power through the cable connected to the injector, and returns a high level ECG signal to the injector.
The following circuitry is in the ECG pre-amp:
Isolation Amplifier
Inputs to U1 are supplied from electrodes attached to the patient.
These inputs are electrically isolated by U1 for low leakage and high
noise immunity.
High-Gain AC Amplifier
U2A amplifies the ECG signal with limited bandwidth for high gain with
noise immunity.
AC-Coupled Buffer
U2B further amplifies the ECG signal so that a high level signal is sent
back to the injector. The output magnitude is 4.5 volts with a 1 mV
input.
ISI Card:
High Level ECG Input
The ECG input circuitry on the ISI Card receives a high level signal
from either the ECG pre-amp or an external monitor. Both signals can
be presented at J44 on the rear connector panel.
To provide a high level signal from a monitor, connect cable IMC 955
at J44, then connect the other end to the monitor. The external signal
being supplied should be at least 0.5 volts at the R-wave peak. If necessary, input sensitivity can be adjusted (R16 on ISI Card) to work reliably with a signal as low as 0.2 volts.
AC Amplifier
U2D input is a high level ECG signal, either from the pre-amp or an
external device such as a monitor. The pre-amp signal is scaled for
noise rejection and to match the typical signal levels from monitors.
Notch Filter
The R-C network between U2D and U2A limits line frequency noise
from the ECG signal. By setting switch S1 or jumper JU1, the cutoff
frequency of the network is adjusted for 50 or 60 Hz. U2A buffers the
filter output, which is sent to the I/O Card for R-wave detection, and to
the Scope for display.
ECG Output Buffer
U2B buffers the ECG signal, available at J15 as the high level ECG
output.
17 - 3

I/O Card:
R-Wave Detection
Some ECG input circuitry is located on the I/O Card. This circuitry
derives a trigger pulse at the R-wave, used for the triggering and timing
of ECG/Scope functions.
ECG Attenuator
Because the ECG signal can vary in amplitude, the circuit comprised of
U20 and U21 can attenuate the ECG signal from the ISI Card. Multiplying DAC U21 attenuates the signal based on the digital word on the
data bus when latch U20 is strobed.
The processor controls the resultant attenuation when the GAIN Up/
Down buttons on the ECG control panel are pressed. U26 (U24) buffers
the ECG signal, with gain determined by R7, R15, and the impedance
of U21.
R-Wave Detector
U23 (U26) is configured to detect the rapid rise time of an R-wave. It
readily passes R-waves, but rejects other waves with lesser rise times.
Pulse Conditioner
U25 (U27) squares the R-wave detected by U23 (U26), and provides
hysteresis for stability. R-wave pulses are used by the counter/timer
chip (CTC) to synchronize ECG triggered injections, and to control
Scope functions. The remaining triggering and timing functions are controlled by software, using the CTC R-wave as a reference pulse.
17 - 4
ECG/Scope Option

The controls and displays for the ECG and Scope section, except the
display tube itself, are processed by the Control Panel subassembly.
The Control Panel subassembly is a sandwich of cards:
The keyboard overlay contains the push-button switches interconnected by a matrix of four columns and eight rows. Through a ribbon cable, this matrix is connected to the PIO2 on the standard I/
O Card which scans the matrix and reads the keyed inputs.
The Display Card contains the alphanumeric displays and LEDs

that provide information to the operator. The display also contains
circuitry that generates control signals and processes the Scope
inputs based on data keyed into the control panel.
NOTE: Three versions of Display Cards are available for the
Mark V and Mark V Plus. 78101-08-AP-04 and 7810108-AP-10 Display Cards (serial numbers less than
60000) are used only on the Mark V. Component designators for these cards are shown in parenthesis. The
78101-08-AP-11 Display Card (serial number 60000
and above) may be used with the Mark V or Mark V
Plus.
Refer to the block diagram in Figure 17.2.

Numeric Display
Drivers and
Numeric Displays
LED Driver,
Transistor Driver
and LEDs
Two groups of displays show the alphanumeric variables on the Control Panel. Each group consists of a display driver U17 (U1) and U16
(U2) and numeric display units. Display drivers also receive data and
address bus from display buffers U16 and U19 on the I/O Card, and
control lines from display decoder U1 on the I/O Card.
The group driven by U17 (U1) displays R-R seconds,

Delay seconds, and the number of boluses.
The group driven by U16 (U2) displays heart rate.
These control and drive the LEDs used as indicators and backlights of
words printed on the Control Panel. Display driver U15 (U3) controls
all LEDs. Each LED group contains transistor drivers such as Q1 and
Q2 on boards with serial numbers less than 60000, or IC driver U14
on boards with serial numbers 60000 and above. The three columns
of LEDs are enabled by Q7-Q9 (Q15-Q17), also driven by U15 (U3).
Additional functions of the Display Card include: Control Scope inputs
based on keyed entries from the Control Panel; Generate control lines
for other ECG and Scope circuits.

Function Manager
This circuit provides two types of control lines: Mode and Strobe.
Mode lines toggle a variety of conditions on or off, and make choices
that latch in a certain mode until toggled again. Strobe controls are
short duration, and are used to transfer a digital word from the data
bus to a selected chip for further processing. U11 (U6) provides only
Mode control lines; U13 (U7) provides a few Mode controls, and all
Strobe controls.
For a block diagram of the Function Manager, see Figure 17.3.
Mode controls include the following:
Input selection for the Scope channels.
17 - 6
Calibration deflection for both channels.
Sweep mode, either continuous or stopped. In the automatic mode, where the sweep starts and stops with the
injection, the processor toggles this output.
Sweep speed: 10, 25, or 50 mm/sec.
Clear the screen at the beginning of the injection in the

automatic sweep mode.
Intensify the trace at the time the injection is to start. This

is shown on the screen as an intensified spot.
Control the magnitude of the flow profile based on the

syringe size.
Enable the Scope display.
ECG/Scope Option
Function Manager
(cont.)
Four lines from U13 (U7) are decoded by U12 (U16) into the following
Strobe lines:
Gain and position of both Scope channels. These lines
transfer the bus to the selected multiplying DAC, thereby
controlling the attenuation or offset of the channels.
Control Panel display parameters. These lines transfer the

bus to one of the numeric display drivers, enabling the
Control Panel to display a processor value or condition.
Figure 17.3: Block Diagram: ECG/Scope Function Manager
Scope Input Control

For a block diagram of Scope Input Control, refer to Figure 17.4.
Channel 1
Input Control
Two inputs are presented to solid-state switch U10 (U5): The ECG
signal from the ISI Card, and Auxiliary input from J14 on the rear connector panel. The auxiliary input is internally connected to the BPO
200. The returning signal may be displayed on the Scope without
modifications. To select the BPO signal, select AUX1 with the BPO
200 connected.
The input choice is made by the state of the control line into U9 (U4),
which controls the switch U10 (U5). Selected input is presented to the
channel 1 gain and position network comprised of U1, U3, U5, U7
(U8-u11).
1 MV Calibration
Circuit
When the 1 MV CAL button on the Control Panel is pressed, a control

line turns on Q1 (Q18) and Q2 (Q19) to supply an offset voltage to the
ECG input. If the ECG input has been selected by switch U10 (U5),
the displayed wave-form will deflect the equivalent of 1 mV.
Channel 1
Gain Attenuator
U5 (U8) and U7 (U9) control the gain of channel 1 from the processor,
controlled by buttons on the Control Panel. Multiplying DAC U7 (U9)
attenuates the signal based on the digital word on the data bus when
latch U5 (U8) is strobed. The processor controls this action and the
resultant attenuation when the GAIN Up/Down buttons are pressed on
the Scope control panel.
17 - 7

Channel 1
Position Control
U3 (U10) and U1 (U11) control the position of channel 1 from the processor, controlled by buttons on the Control Panel. Multiplying DAC
U1 (U11) generates an offset signal based on the digital word on the
data bus when latch U3 (U10) is strobed. The processor controls this
action and the resultant attenuation when the POSITION Up/Down
buttons are pressed on the Scope control panel.
Figure 17.4: Block Diagram: Scope Input Control
Channel 2
Input Control
Two inputs are presented to solid-state switch U10 (U5): The injection
signal from the Scope Memory Card, and Auxiliary input from J14 on
the rear connector panel. Input choice is made by the state of the control line into U9 (U4), which controls the switch (U10) U5. The selected
input is presented to the channel 2 gain and position network comprised of U2, U4, U6, and U8 (U12-U15).
20 ML
Calibration Circuit
When the 20 ML CAL button is pressed on the Control Panel, a control line turns on Q6 (Q20) to supply an offset voltage to the injection
input. If the injection input has been selected by switch U10 (U5), the
displayed wave-form will deflect the equivalent of 20 ml. Since the
deflection factor is different for different sizes of syringes, Q3-Q5
(Q21) attenuates the signal when 60 or 200 ml syringes are selected.
NOTE: With EKD Cards series 60000 and above, switch S1 of
the ECG/Scope Control Panel Display Board must be
set in either the 60/150, or 150/200 position, for selection of the appropriate injection system.
NOTE: When the syringe size selected is changed, the 20 ML
CAL must be readjusted.
17 - 8
ECG/Scope Option
Channel 2
Gain Attenuator
U6 and U8 (U12 and U13) control the gain of channel 2 from the processor, controlled by buttons on the Control Panel. Multiplying DAC U8
(U13) attenuates the signal based on the digital word on the data bus
when latch U6 (U12) is strobed. The processor controls this action and
the resultant attenuation when the GAIN Up/Down buttons are pressed
on the Scope control panel.
Channel 2
Position Control
U4 and U2 (U14 and U15) control the position of channel 2 from the
processor, controlled by buttons on the Control Panel. Multiplying DAC
U2 (U15) generates an offset signal based on the digital word on the
data bus when latch (U4) U14 is strobed. The processor controls this
action and the resultant attenuation when the POSITION Up/Down buttons are pressed on the Scope control panel.
NOTE: When power is removed from the Scope unit, the 20 MV
CAL, 1 MV CAL, and Channel 1 and 2 positions will
return to the default values, thus requiring readjustment.
NOTE: When power is removed form either the entire system or
the ECG unit, the R-WAVE Gain will require readjustment.
Scope Memory Card

NOTE: Component designators shown for the CRM Main Card
drawings correspond directly to component designators
listed for the Scope Memory Card.
The Scope Memory Card contains circuits that generate, modify, store,
and control what is displayed on the Scope. The inputs to this card are
the signals to be displayed on the Scope channels. The outputs from
this card are sent to deflection circuits.
Input Processor
Receives signals from the Control Panel, and multiplexes them into one
channel for display and storage.
Memory Processor
Converts signals from analog into digital for storage, then back into analog for display.
Causes channel 1 to intensify at the start of the injection.
Clock and Sync Circuits
Generate timing and synchronization signals for the rest of the circuits.
Simulates the injection signal shown on channel 2.
17 - 9

Input Processor
This circuit receives the signals from the Control Panel and multiplexes them into one serial channel for display and storage. For a
block diagram of the Input Processor, refer to Figure 17.5.
Channel 1
Input Buffer
U8A receives the signal from the Display Card for channel 1. Input
selection is controlled by the Display Card. U8A output is presented to
bilateral switch U28, configured as a multiplexing switch.
Channel 2
Input Buffer
U8B receives the signal from the display board for channel 2. U8B
output is presented to multiplexing switch U28.
Input Multiplexer
Through U28, the signals from U8A and U8B are sent one at a time to
the A/D converter. Switching is controlled by signals from the sweep
interval timer. These control lines switch the two input channels at the
proper times for display and storage.
Figure 17.5: Block Diagram: Scope Input Processor
Memory Processor
These circuits convert the signals from analog to digital for storage,
then revert to analog for display. Refer to Figure 17.6.
A/D Converter
U27 converts the analog signal from the input processor into a proportional 8-bit digital word.
Memory
Digital data for both channels is stored in U25, a 2K RAM chip. Read/
Write signals from the sync circuits direct the flow of data into and out
of memory. When new data is not being read into registers, U25
retains the data already stored. When new data is written into memory, old data is erased. There are 1024 bits in each horizontal line.
Together, both traces use the entire 2K of memory.
17 - 10
ECG/Scope Option
DAC
U26 converts the digital word on the data bus into an analog voltage.
Buffer
The analog signal is buffered by U30, and supplied to the display

drive circuits, causing vertical deflection.
Read/Write Logic
The array comprised of U4, U19, U17 and associated components

provides Read/Write control signals to the memory. This circuit also
synchronizes the spot intensify memory.
Figure 17.6: Block Diagram: Scope Memory Processor

This circuit causes channel 1 to intensify at the start of the injection.
The intensity is confined to a small segment so that it appears as a
bright spot. This circuit contains its own memory so that the intensified
spot is stored and displayed with other data.
Spot Pulse Generator
A signal from the Display Card triggers U7, sending a signal to Read/
Write logic at the precise time the spot is to occur. The trigger pulse is
30 msec.
Read/Write Logic
The array comprised of U4, U19, U17 and associated components

provides Read/Write control signals to the spot memory and spot
writer.
Spot Writer
When the intensified spot is to occur, driver U14 is enabled by the

Read/Write logic. This sends data to the spot memory for storage and
to the inverters for display.
Spot Memory
U24 is a 2K RAM chip dedicated to the intensified spot. It stores the

location of the intensified spot. Since U24 shares the address bus with
the main memory U25, the location of the spot will be in sync with the
location of the traces.
17 - 11

Inverters
Both the inverted and non-inverted spot intensify signals are sent to the
Display Card. The signals control the display brightness to increase
brightness at the time designated for the intensified spot.
Figure 17.7: Block Diagram: Scope Intensified Spot Circuit

Clock and Sync Circuits
This collection of circuits generates the timing and synchronization signals for the remainder of the circuits.
For a block diagram of the Clock and Sync Circuits, refer to Figure 17.8.
Master Clock
U1 generates a 4 MHz square wave. The rate of the clock signal out of
U3 is determined by the sweep speed selected on the Control Panel.
This clock signal synchronizes the Read/Write activities to the horizontal sweep.
Sweep Speed Control
The Display Card defines the speed selected on the Control Panel.
These inputs are used by U8C and U8D to control the horizontal sweep
integrator.
Horizontal Sweep
Generator
This circuit generates the sawtooth wave-form used to cause horizontal

sweeping. The rate of U9 integration depends on the input resistance,
selected by the FETs in the sweep speed control. During blanking, Q3
turns on and shunts C20 for retrace.
Sweep Interval Timer
The array comprised of U10-U12 manages the frames displayed on the

screen. Read/Write logic and the input processor are synchronized by
this circuit to control data movement in and out of memory.
Blanking Pulse
Generator
When the Scope is to retrace, the blanking pulse from U16 removes
power from the display, and resets the horizontal sweep generator.
When the sweep is to begin, display and horizontal sweep generator
are enabled.
Memory Address
Counter
The array comprised of U21-23 generates the address information for

memory, and coordinates the addressing so that the channel data fills
all memory locations sequentially.
17 - 12
ECG/Scope Option
Sweep Mode Control
A signal from the Display Card indicates the sweep mode selected on the
Control Panel. This is used to control the Read/Write functions of the
Scope Memory Card through U15, U19, and U29.
Although only two control lines are shown, three modes can be selected:
CONTinuous mode
The data being displayed is continuously updated. New information is
added to the right side of the display as the tracings move to the left,
giving the appearance of a continuous wave-form.
STOP mode
The display is frozen, with the data being recirculated in memory. No
new data will be written into memory or displayed.
AUTOmatic mode
Under processor control; In this mode the sweep erases and starts at
the beginning of the injection when the start switch is closed. The
sweep stops 0.25 seconds after the injection ends. The processor
does this by switching between the STOP and CONTinuous modes.
Erase Pulse
Generator
In the automatic sweep mode, U7 generates an erase pulse that clears

the screen at the start of an injection.
Figure 17.8: Block Diagram: Scope Clock and Sync Circuits

17 - 13

This circuit generates the injection signal shown on channel 2 when
INJ is selected at the Control Panel. Refer to Figure 17.9.
Flow Selected Buffer
U20A prevents loading down the flow selected signal from the DAC
on the Servo Control Card.
Integrator Control
During standby, and when the flow selected is less than 1 ml/sec, this
circuit prevents U20C from integrating.
Comparator
Normally the Flow Selected signal is passed on to the integrator without any problems. However, if pressure limiting occurs, the signal will
be attenuated until the flow profile matches the actual Flow Rate.
Integrator
U20C generates a flow profile ramp that is proportional to the Flow

Rate selected. The output returns to the Display Card. When INJ is
selected on the Control Panel, this signal will be displayed on channel
2 during simulated and actual injections.

ECG/Scope Option
NOTE: Component designators shown on the CRM Main Card
with a 3XX prefix correspond directly to component
designators listed for the Scope Deflection Card.
The circuits on this card control drive to the Scope tube, including horizontal and vertical deflection, brightness, focus, tilt, and astigmatism.
CRT
The CRT is a rectangular, flat-faced design, with a diagonal measurement of 14 cm. The tube uses electrostatic focusing and deflection.
Horizontal Deflection
Amplifier
This circuit uses the horizontal sweep signal from the Scope Memory
Card to produce horizontal deflection of the trace. Deflection occurs
because of the potential difference between the deflection plates,
driven by Q1 and Q2. The beam will deflect toward the more positive
plate.
Vertical Deflection
Amplifier
This circuit uses the vertical signal from the Scope Memory Card to
produce vertical deflection of the trace. Deflection occurs because of
the potential difference between the deflection plates, driven by Q5
and Q6. The beam will deflect toward the more positive plate.
Constant Current
Regulator
Q9 provides a fixed control current to the horizontal and vertical

deflection amplifiers. This produces symmetrical amplifier output.
Brightness and
Focus Control
The brightness control R33 sets the voltage on the control grid of the
CRT. As the wiper moves away from -2 KV DC, the trace gets brighter.
The focus control R30 sets the voltage on the focusing grid of the
CRT.
Spot Intensify Drive
To intensify the trace, the inverted spot intensify signal turns on Q11 to
pulse the control grid of the CRT with a positive voltage. This causes
the trace to be extremely bright for the pulse duration. At the same
time, the spot intensify signal (non-inverted) turns on Q12 to pulse the
focusing grid so that the spot stays sharp.
Blanking Drive
The Memory Card blanking signal activates Q13, placing a negative

voltage on the control grid, while the horizontal sweep is retracing.
Tilt Control
R23 varies the current and polarity through the tilt coil, affecting trace
rotation.
Astigmatism
Compensator
This circuit compensates for trace astigmatism. Astigmatism is trace

distortion that produces ovals rather than dots.

ECG/Scope Option
NOTE: Component designators shown on the CRM Main Card
with a 2XX prefix correspond directly to component designators listed for the Scope Power Supply Card.
This card supplies the following voltages for the Scope drive circuits and
the Display tube:
+2 KV DC to the tubes final accelerator anode
-2 KV DC to the blanking drive, brightness, and focus circuits
+150 VDC to the horizontal and vertical deflection amplifiers
+6 VDC filament power to the CRT

Oscillator
U2 generates a square wave to switch the transformer driver on and off.

The amplitudes of the output voltages are determined by oscillator frequency, which is controlled by the comparator.
Transformer Driver
The square wave from U2 turns Q4 on and off, causing a rapid change
in current in the transformer primary.
Transformer
When Q4 turns on, the current through the T1 transformer primary

builds up a magnetic field. When Q4 turns off, the magnetic field collapses and the primary develops a high voltage flyback pulse. With a
high transformer turns ratio, large voltage pulses are developed in the
secondary during the flyback period.
Voltage Doubler
This network doubles the voltage from the center-tapped winding of the
transformer. The output from the doubler has a peak amplitude of
approximately +2 KV DC.
High Voltage Filters
These R-C filter networks minimize ripple on the high voltage line.
Filament Rectifier
and Filters
A half-wave rectifier filters the filament supply from the flyback transformer secondary. This supply, approximately 6 VDC, is used only by
the CRT filament.
+150 VDC
Rectifier and Filter
A half-wave rectifier filters the +150 VDC supply from the transformer
secondary. This voltage feeds through the memory card to the deflection card, powering the horizontal and vertical deflection amplifiers.
Comparator
Comparator U1 controls the oscillator frequency to regulate the output

voltage. If the output falls below the desired levels, frequency increases
to raise the output. If the output tends to increase, frequency decreases
to lower output.

Mark V / Mark V Plus

This section is a guide in tracking a condition to a board or subassembly. The first segment covers general troubleshooting guidelines, applicable to most conditions.
Most conditions will prompt a message to appear on the Sentinel. Using
these messages, the condition can often be identified quickly. The second segment of this Troubleshooting Guide aids the user in determining
the source of a condition when a message does appear on the Sentinel.
The last segment of this section is useful in determining the source of a
condition when no message appears on the Sentinel.
For disassembly procedures, refer to Section 20, Unit Disassembly and
Reassembly.
WARNING: Hazardous voltages exist within the Mark V and
Mark V Plus Injection Systems that can shock, burn, or
cause death. To avoid injury, the system should be opened
and serviced by qualified service personnel only. Disconnect
the system from line power before cleaning or attempting to
perform any maintenance
WARNING: Immediately disconnect the patient from the

injector if any system malfunction occurs. If a system malfunction message appears, do not attempt to use the system
until the source of the condition has been identified and corrected by qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to recreate any fault conditions while connected to a patient.
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Failure to follow
ESD protection practices may result in equipment damage.
ESD protection practices must be followed when servicing
any component of this system.

General Guidelines
Consider the following guidelines before troubleshooting any condition. These guidelines may help in resolving the condition quickly:
Remember, try the simple things first.
1. Disconnect the injector from external equipment: Disconnect all
cables connected to the injector, including those for the film
changer, monitor, or external start switch.
2. To verify the existence of a condition, check injector operations
before troubleshooting, using the Checkout Procedure in Chapter
5 of this manual. Follow the steps that pertain to the major functions of the unit to verify the condition.
3. Remove power for one minute. Allow the unit to reset completely,
then reapply power and retry. The condition could be intermittent,
or caused by a voltage transient. If the condition persists, continue
troubleshooting.
4. Open the Control Unit to remove/re-seat the cards. In a Pedestal
System, pull out the chassis, then lift out the card retainer. In a
Control Room Console, remove the card retainers. Remove each
circuit card. While the cards are out, ensure that the socketed ICs
are fully inserted. Reseat the cards, ensuring that the cards are
fully inserted into the connectors on the Mother Board. Replace
the card retainers. In Pedestal Systems, open the pedestal column door, and repeat this process with the cards in the Power
Chassis.
5. The Mark V / Mark V Plus is equipped with self-diagnostic software. A combination of safety circuits and software, provide the
Mark V / Mark V Plus with a diagnostic package that detects performance degradation, as well as total failures of portions of the
system. Through Sentinel messages, the Mark V / Mark V Plus
indicates self-diagnosed failures.
6. Any Sentinel message can symbolize a fault within the system.
For example, if the Sentinel displays CHECK TURRET, when the
turret is properly positioned, there may be a defective limit switch
in the head. Watch for messages that contradict the obvious.
7. Some faults can be caused by a noisy electrical environment. For
example, a memory error can be caused by a momentary power
failure or drop, electrical noise in the power line, or noise in external interfaces.
8. Check power supplies at the Power Supply Card.
9. Always troubleshoot in a logical sequence. Trace a condition
along the circuit paths in the unit, isolating the condition to a card
or circuit section. This process is shown on the next page.
19 - 16
10. If the system is equipped with an ECG and Scope, signals travel
from the options into the Main Unit. Disconnect the options as follows to determince if the problem source is within the ECG/Scope
section:
Disconnect the power cable connecting the Motherboard
and scope Power Supply.
Disconnect the ribbon cable connecting the ECG/Scope

Display Card and the I/O Card.
Disconnect the cable connecting the Scope Display Card

and the Motherboard.
11. For assistance in determining the cause of a condition, or in

obtaining replacement cards, subassemblies, and parts, contact
Medrad Factory Service or your local dealer.
12. Check injector operations after repairs to ensure that the condition
has been corrected. Follow the Checkout Procedure outlined in
Section 5.
19 - 17
Suggested Troubleshooting Sequence

When a condition occurs, observe the Sentinel message code or
symptom, and determine if the condition is being caused by the Control or Injection group of circuits. Isolate the condition to a board or
boards, replace the board(s) or troubleshoot to component level. See
Figure 19.2 below.

Message Faults
This section is a guide in the interpretation of messages displayed on
the Sentinel. An alphabetical listing of all Sentinel messages follows,
with a functional explanation and if applicable, possible solutions to
the condition.
Messages preceeded by two asterisks (**) are critical faults, which
cause the Mark V / Mark V Plus to cease functioning until the fault is
cleared.
CAUTION: If the SENTINEL displays a system monitor

type condition, do not attempt to use the injector until the
source of the condition is determined and resolved. Equipment damage or malfunction may result.
The Mark V / Mark V Plus performs self diagnostic tests during powerup. If the injector fails any of these tests, an error message will be displayed on the Sentinel containing details of the fault.

19 - 48
NO
ECG/SCOPE
DISPLAY
None of the ECG/Scope displays are functioning properly. Suspect the

interface between the I/O and ECG/scope display cards, or the cards
themselves.
Troubleshoot:
1a. (Pedestal unit) Ensure proper connection of the ribbon
cable between the I/O and Display Card by removing and
reconnecting.
1b. (CRC unit) Ensure that all cables are fully seated between
the CRC and CRM units.
2. If the condition continues, replace the I/O Card.
3. If the condition continues, replace the CPU Card.
4. If the condition persists, replace the ECG/Scope Display
Card.
NO SCOPE DISPLAY
Scope does not function, but the ECG section is not affected.
Does the LED next to the SCOPE ON/OFF button illuminate? If not,
suspect the cabling interface between the ECG/Scope Display and I/O
cards, or the cards themselves. Troubleshoot this symptom as
described on the previous page.
If the LED lights:
1. Set the scope controls as follows. The indicator next to
these words should be lit.
SWEEP MODE
CONTinuous
SWEEP SPEED
10 MM/SEC
INPUT SELECT for top channel
AUX1
INPUT SELECT for bottom channel AUX2
2. Two traces should appear on the screen. If Scope traces do
not appear suspect the following:
a) The intensity may be turned down. Locate the intensity control on the back of the console, then turn in
both directions.
b) One or both of the traces may be off screen. Press
the POSITION Up and Down buttons for the missing
channel.
c) If the traces are still not visible, call Medrad Service.
3. Return the input selectors to previous settings: ECG on

19 - 49

WEAK OR ERRATIC
R-WAVES
The user cannot get reliable triggering of the ECG section. The RWAVE light flashes erratically, and the R-R (SECS) and HEART RATE
(BPM) displays are not stable. The waveform on the scope may also
be weak and noisy.
Troubleshoot:
1. Check the ECG gain setting on the Control Panel.
2. If high level signal is being used, check the cable and
amplitude of the output signal.
3. If low level signal is being used, check the ECG electrodes,
leads, cable, preamp, and pre-amp output cable.
4. If the ECG signal displayed on the scope is noisy and
erratic, check the setting of S1 on the ISI card. This sets the
cutoff frequency for the notch filter at either 50 or 60 Hz. S1
should be set for the line frequency being supplied to the
injector.
WARNING: Do not use the injector in an ECG-triggered

injection if the signal cannot be stabilized. The ECG signal
displayed on the scope should be stable and the R-wave
indicator should flash with each R-wave. To avoid patient
injury or death, ensure that a reliable ECG signal before
using the injector in an ECG-triggered injection.

The most common way to supply an ECG input to the injector is to run
a cable from the monitor to the injector - high-level ECG input. With
this kind of connection, check it as follows:
1. Ensure that the R-WAVE light flashes with each heartbeat.
If it does not, or only occasionally, press the GAIN Up button until the R-WAVE light flashes. Hold the GAIN Up button for one second after the light flashes, to ensure that the
gain is high enough.
2. If the ECG signal is weak, reposition the patient electrodes.
3. If the light flashes erratically, the Gain might be too high.
Press the GAIN Down button to reduce flashing.
4. Check the signal supplied by the monitor. The output signal
should be +0.1 volts minimum (+0.5 volts nominal) at the Rwave peak, 10 volts maximum.
5. Check signal and ground connections at the output connector. The cable connecting the monitor to J44 on the injector
should be wired as follows:
Black wire = signal
White wire = ground
19 - 50
WEAK OR ERRATIC
R-WAVES (cont.)
Low-Level ECG Input

An ECG input can also be provided directly from the patient, to the
injector. This connection is called a Low-Level input.
Insert the ECG preamp into J44 on the injector rear connector panel,
then the electrodes and patient cable as described in the Mark V/Mark
V Plus Operation Manual.
Gain and triggering adjustment procedure:
1. Ensure that the R-WAVE light flashes with each heartbeat.
If it does not, or only occasionally, press the GAIN Up button until the R-WAVE light flashes. Hold the GAIN Up button for one second after the light flashes, to ensure that the
gain is high enough.
2. If the ECG signal is weak, reposition the electrodes.
3. If the light flashes erratically, the Gain might be too high.
Press the GAIN Down button to reduce flashing.
4. If the ECG is still erratic:
While twisting and bending the electrode wires, pull
at the connections to the electrode pads and the
patient cable. If the R-WAVE light flashes randomly,
replace the electrode wires.
While twisting and bending the patient cable, pull at

the connection to the ECG preamp. If the R-WAVE
light flashes randomly, replace the patient cable.
Check the consistency and amount of electrode gel

on the electrode pads. The gel may have dried out,
resulting in poor contact.
The electrodes may be attached to hairy or oily

areas.
Pull at the connection of the ECG preamp to the

injector. If the R-WAVE light flashes randomly, call
Medrad Service.
