Recommended
Procedures
4-1
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.

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
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.
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.
Test Decoder
This 4-16 channel decoder (U2) provides Reset pulses for Watchdog
1, and controls timing of the buzzer.
Test Section
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.

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.
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
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
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.
TTL/CMOS Converter

Chip U28 develops +10 VDC as a reference voltage for the Plunger
and Mechanical Stop position feedback pots in the head. This voltage

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.
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.
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.

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.

Safe Relay /

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
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
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
11 - 3
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.

Circuit U4B.

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.

Q1, Q2, Q3
The Brake Circuit is used to stop the plunger motor at the end of an
injection, or if an error condition occurs during the 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, 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,

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/

The SYSTEM OVERRIDE shuts down the PDCP if the system detects

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

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.
The Full Error Trigger will fire the SCR bridge if a large, instantaneous
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.
Transistor Q9 is used to ground trigger pulses (remove base voltage
to Q8) if a SYSTEM OVERRIDE (D8 and D9), AUX MONITOR (D10
and D9), or overrate injection (D11 and D9) occurs.

The circuit comprised of R75, R87, R88, R107-110, D26, D27 and

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).

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
11 - 13
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:
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 from U5B, thus limiting load rate and pressure.

Brake Circuit
Q1, Q2, Q3
The Brake Circuit is used to stop the plunger motor at the end of an
injection, or if an error condition occurs during the 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, 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.

Safe Relay /
Safe Relay Enable
K1, Q7
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 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 PDCI, or a loss of the SAFRELEN from the
SCC.
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
11 - 17
System Override
The SYSTEM OVERRIDE shuts down the PDCI 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 (PIO3) on the SCC goes high, Q4 and
Q5 (PDCI) 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 PDCI to form a redundant shut-down circuit.
Zero Crossing
Detector
U4A, U4D
Ramp Generator
U5C, Q16
11 - 18
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.
The Full Error Trigger will fire the SCR bridge if a large, instantaneous
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.
Transistor Q9 is used to ground trigger pulses (remove base voltage
to Q8) if a SYSTEM OVERRIDE (D8 and D9), AUX MONITOR (D10
and D9), or overrate injection (D11 and D9) occurs.
Delinearizing
Network
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 - 19
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).

11 - 20
The AUX MONITOR circuit will shut down the PDCI 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 PDCI, sending a signal to U16 (PIO3) 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 PDCI, sending a signal to U16 (PIO3) on the SCC
(prompting the system to terminate the injection).
Forward/Reverse
Loading Circuit
U3, U4B, U4C, U5D
11 - 21
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:
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 from U5B, thus limiting load rate and pressure.

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.

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:
14 - 1
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.

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
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
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.
14 - 4
Injector Head
14 - 5
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.
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.
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.

NOTE: In CRC systems that contain no options, an ISI Dummy
Card must be installed in the ISI slot. New MBR(I)
(assemblies 85106-07-AP-02 and 85106-07-AP-03)
Motherboards utilize two switches which eliminate the
need for an ISI Dummy Card.
The Imaging System Interface, ISI 100, is an option that allows the
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 Volume
Handswitch Closed
15 - 1
15 - 2
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
150 ML syringe = +0.8 VDC/10 ml
60 ML syringe = +2.0 VDC/10 ml
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.
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.
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.
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.

CAUTION: Do not apply voltage to J40 pins 5 or 6. Equipment damage or malfunction may result.
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
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
CAUTION: Do not apply voltage to J40 pins 7 or 9. Equipment damage or malfunction may result.
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
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.
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.

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.

The Siemens table can be fitted with an adaptor (Medrad catalog number SCK 100) which allows
the Mark V Plus Injector Head to be mounted directly to the table. Contact Medrad for availability.

Remote Panel

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.

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.

ECG/Scope Option
NOTE: The ECG / Scope option is not available on -I units.
Overview
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.
ECG/Scope Control Panel
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
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/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
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 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.
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.
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.
17 - 5
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
Sweep mode, either continuous or stopped. In the automatic mode, where the sweep starts and stops with the
injection, the processor toggles this output.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Intensified Spot Circuit
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.
Flow Profile Generator
Simulates the injection signal shown on channel 2.
17 - 9
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.
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.

Read/Write Logic
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
Spot Writer
Spot Memory
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.
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.
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
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.

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
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

ECG/Scope Option
Scope Deflection Card
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.
Refer to the block diagram in Figure 17.10.
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
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.
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
Tilt Control
R23 varies the current and polarity through the tilt coil, affecting trace
rotation.

This card supplies the following voltages for the Scope drive circuits and
the Display tube:
+2 KV DC to the tubes final accelerator anode

The square wave from U2 turns Q4 on and off, causing a rapid change
in current in the transformer primary.
Transformer
Voltage Doubler
This network doubles the voltage from the center-tapped winding of the

approximately +2 KV DC.
These R-C filter networks minimize ripple on the high voltage line.

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

NO
ECG/SCOPE
DISPLAY
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

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.
