indicate time of air venting from the bottom of the
measurement cell. Initial value 400. Setting range
200-1000.
6-1-5 MOVEMENT ADJUST
Just after making operation by using these menus,
there may be change in volume of diluent solution
inside the measurement cell or in volume of solution
on the tip of sample nozzle. Therefore, make sure
either to take blank measurement or to operate water
supply before starting sample measurement.

PROBE UP/DOWN ACTION


The sample nozzle (probe) moves up and down one time.

SAMPLE SYRINGE
The sample syringe moves up and down one time.

DILUENT SYRINGE
The diluent syringe moves up and down one time. Be aware of the diluent solution
discharged from the sample nozzle.

HEMOLYZER SYRINGE
41

PCE-210SME Ver. 5.03

The lysing syringe moves up and down one time. The lysing solution is discharged to the
WBC cell by this operation.

PROBE ACTION
A continuous sample nozzle action just as same as the action during measurement is
operated. It stops by pressing the key again when the nozzle is in the front.

6-1-6 DISC. VOLUME


Input range of setting value is between 1 and 200.
The unit mentioned as ad in screen stands for 1bit
volume of installed in AD converter of this device.

Clogging Detection Function


In every measurement, this function observes fluctuation of measured voltage between
electrodes of the detection part. When the device detect clogging,, its automatic clog
removing function works and repeats measurement. If the clogging is removed within 2
times of re-measurement, it normally shows the measurement data in display. However, if
the clogging continues, Clogging Message will appear after finishing measurement.

The following is a note for setting value.


The initial set value is for detecting even a tiny clogged situation that actually does not affect
quantity of blood cell but may affect cell volume slightly. If you require higher accuracy in WBC
distribution, Hct, MCV, and MPV, please use the device with the initial set value. To make the
device less sensitive for clogging, please set the bigger value (Around 50). However, please be
noted there may be a little lack of accuracy in cell volume related parameters, if you set the
value larger.

Voltage of the Hgb Measurement unit (Value of AD
converter) is displayed. The standard value is 820 +/20. 4.0V equals to 820. Please refer to the service
manual for details.

6-2-2 SUCTION PRESSURE


It shows pressure inside the negative pressure tank in
the liquid circuit. It normally takes about 2 sec to
reach 150mmHg. If it takes extremely longer time to
reach 150mmHg, the pump may be deteriorated. Or
if you see the pressure starts decreasing immediately
after reaching the certain point, there may be a
leakage somewhere in the liquid circuit.

The first printing right after connecting an external printer to PCE-210, some characters may be
missing or unnecessary characters may be printed on printing contents in the test printing or at
the end of measurement. To avoid the situation, please follow the undermentioned:
1. Make sure that the printers power is off when you connect a printer cable.
2. Make sure that you turn on PCE-210s power first, then the printers power, at any time.
3. When you turn off the power, be sure that you turn off the printer, then PCE-210.
4. DO NOT turn on and off the power of PCE-210 while the printers power is ON.
5. Please also set a printer paper in the internal printer.
6. In case printer errors (running out of paper, opening the cover, etc.) happen, you can not
do the recovery operation by PCE-210, unlike the case you connect PCE-210 to PC.

1. Before replacing the ROM, each parameter of present setting has to be stored. Please
save the necessary stored sample data because all of them will be deleted by changing
ROM.
2. Press PRINT switch on the SUB SELECTION so that the parameters will be printed out
from the built-in printer.
3. Set the DIP switch # 1 of the back side of equipment ON, then turn off the power and
pull out the power supply code. Replace the ROM.
4. Turn the power on. Measurement stand-by screen will be displayed without a water
supply cycle.
5. Go to SUB SELECTION BASICAL SETTING INITIALIZATION to initialize the
equipment. At this time, SUB SELECT MENU can be displayed without any special
operation.
6. Now each parameter returned to the initial value, so please input the value again. After
finishing re-input, turn DIP switch # 1 OFF and turn off the power.

9-5 Clog Detection


Clog Detection Method 1
The following calculation and detection is carried out in software when RBC value is more
than 500,000 and Hgb value is more than 3.0 mg/dl.
1. Total RBC value is obtained.
2. 70% value of total RBC is calculated
3. The value obtained in above No. 2 is divided by RBC sample aspiration volume.
4. When total measured value for 1 second is smaller than the value obtained in above No.
3, PCE-210 detects it as RBC clog.
The following calculation and detection is carried out in software when WBC value is more
than 1,000 and Hgb value is 3.0 mg/dl.

Clog Detection Method 2


Number of the blood cell pulse is counted in each cycle fixed during measurement and PCE210 makes comparison in the number of pulses for each two adjoining cycles. If there is more
than 30% decrease detected in number of pulses, for example, if the previous cycle has shown
100 pulses detected and the following cycle shows 70 pulses only, PCE-210 concludes that
there is abnormality in the detection (measurement) part, showing messages such as RBC
CLOG, WBC CLOG and etc. However, those error messages are displayed only after the
measurement cycle is completed. Even if the abnormality is detected in the middle of the
measurement, counting itself is continued until the end of the measurement cycle. Users are
also able to see * in the left side of parameter names both in the display and in print-outs
when there was abnormality, such as clogging.

9-6 Measurement Control for Pressure Volumetric Method
Fixed volume measurement by pressure control
A negative pressure pump of PCE-210 makes aspiration pressure to the fixed value of
150mmHg just before aspirating diluted sample. This fixed pressure is kept and controlled all
the time through measurement operation by pressure sensor. Under the circumstance of the
150mmHg pressure, a valve for sample aspiration is opened for the measurement. The

aspiration time is set in advance as a factory adjustment and never varies in each individual
measurement. Therefore, volume of the diluted sample can be fixed same for each
measurement due to the aspiration made under condition of fixed pressure for the fixed time.
In case there is variation seen in pressure during measurement, PCE-210 detects its
abnormality in aspiration flow and stops measurement.
