4.2 Description of the Function Groups

The block diagram illustrates the individual function groups and how they are
connected. For the description of the function groups you should also refer to the
wiring plan in Chapter 3.4 of this Service Manual.
Mains Power Supply and Power Output Controller

Two separate switching circuits are installed together on the SMPS (switched mode
power supply) PCB A1. There is a switching controller which operates on the principle
of a step-down regulator. It supplies the 15 V-supply for the signal and control
electronics and is protected at the input side by the F2 (M1A) fuse.
The power output controller is the same type of circuit based on the principle of a step-
down regulator. Its output voltage P1 forms the energy source for the HF-Generator
and is controlled by the analogue signal U1. P1 has double the voltage level of U1.
The power output controller is protected at the input side by the F1 (M4A) fuse.
The power supply and the power output controller are supplied by two separate
secondary windings of the mains transformer T1.
HF-Generator and Modulator

These are located in the middle in the right third of the HF-Generator PCB A2 and,
together, they form the HF-Current generator. The modulator affects the supply voltage
of the HF-Generator P1. The symmetrical outputs PH are conducted over the respec-
tive active output transformers. The voltage P1 is conducted to the HF-Generator via
the middle point of the output transformers.
Monopolar Output Circuit

This constitutes an interface to the monopolar application part and contains the neutral
electrode monitor, the auxiliary supply for the hand piece control, the driver circuit for
the monopolar HF-Indicator lights, the relays in the HF-Output and a load switch for the
generator. All of the parts of the monopolar output circuit, as well as the transformer to
the application part, are located at the back on the right of the HF-Generator PCB A2
under the (monopolar) HF-Output PCB A3.
The neutral electrode monitor operates with a harmonic oscillator, the resonant circuit
of which is conducted via the transformer T300 to the two partial connections of the
NE-connection socket. When a neutral electrode with a bridged double cable on the
end (one-piece NE) is connected, or the correct application of a two-piece NE, the
oscillator is attenuated by the shunt. If the electrode is missing, the cable breaks, or
the application is made incorrectly, this attenuation decreases.
The auxiliary supply for the handpiece control consists of an oscillator, the voltage of
which is transferred to the application piece by the transformer T302.
The driver circuit for the HF-Indicator lights is controlled by an auxiliary winding of the
monopolar HF-Output transformer T301.
V. 1.0 11
The HF-Generator has the unusual characteristic, that it stimulates oscillations in its
auxiliary power voltage, in doing so, however, it cannot give off any power. If the
attenuation is too slight (idle operation) and the setting is low (micro) it is possible for
the voltage P1 to increase to values higher than the set values in reaction to the
resonant circuit. If this happens the fault recognition would respond. For this reason,
for low settings, a constant load is switched to the generator.
Monopolar Application Part

This constitutes the monopolar patient interface and is located on the HF-Output
PCB A3. The transformers which constitute the interface to the monopolar output
circuit are located on the HF-Generator PCB A2. The output socket is located on the
front PCB A4.
The handpiece control decodes the signals of the finger switch on the electrode
handpiece and transfers them via opto-electronic couplers to the monopolar switch-on
control. These opto-electronic couplers are constructed of separate transmitters and
receivers which are connected by a plastic fibre-optical waveguide. The receivers are
located at the front on the HF-Generator PCB A2. The active electrode connections are
designed in such a way that the MARTIN-coaxial plug or the three terminal flat plug
found in the North American market can be connected. The handpiece control is
supplied via the transformer T302 from the monopolar output circuit.
Bipolar Output Circuit

This constitutes the interface to the bipolar application part, contains the automatic
bipolar activation, a driver circuit for the bipolar HF-Indicator and is located at the front
right on the HF-Generator PCB A2.
The automatic bipolar activation enables the bipolar HF-Power to be switched on
automatically when applying the bipolar forceps. It functions according to the principle
of a attenuated harmonic oscillator. Its resonant circuit voltage is laid via a HF-Output
transformer on the shank of the bipolar forceps which are connected. The shunt
through the tissue between the forceps attenuates the oscillator which serves to
generate a switch-on signal.
The driver for the bipolar HF-Indicator light is controlled by an auxiliary winding of the
bipolar HF-Output transformer and produces a signal which indicates the presence of
a bipolar HF-Current.
Bipolar Application Part

This constitutes the bipolar patient interface and, together with the bipolar HF-Output
transformer, it is located at the front right on the HF-Generator PCB A2.
12 V. 1.0
Switch-on Control
This translates the signals from the finger switch and the foot switch into an appropriate
selection of the operational mode with the use of corresponding relays and selection of
the path for the setpoint values. It is located at the back on the left and in the front in
the middle (fibre optic receiver) on the HF-Generator PCB A2.
Setpoint Generator
This is located at the front left on the HF-Generator PCB A2 and consists of two
separate circuits for the generation of the setpoint value (W1) and the reference
setpoint value (G1).
By means of various control signals, one of the three potentiometers in the front is
selected and, depending on the mode of operation, (cutting I, II and micro-modus) a
setpoint value adjustment is carried out.
Fault Monitor
This is located at the back on the left of the HF-Generator PCB A2 and releases the
HF-Generator if no fault exists.
In the monopolar operation mode a neutral electrode fault causes a block in the
HF-Generator. The bipolar operation mode can be activated even if a connected
neutral electrode is defective due to the fact that, for bipolar coagulation, a neutral
electrode fault is insignificant.
Sound Generator
This is located on the left of the HF-Generator PCB A2 and consists of a voltage
controlled oscillator, an indicator and an interval switch. The indicator, which is
controlled by the neutral electrode fault signal, activates the NE fault indicator light
on the front and activates the audio signal if there is a fault. When the audio signal
has been active for approx. 15 seconds the interval switch increases the volume.
Key Interface
This is located on the front left of the HF-Generator PCB A2. It stores the (short time)
activation of the keys and acknowledges activation by illuminating the keys. This takes
place via bistable relays.
V. 1.0 13
4.3 Description of important signals

Manipulated variable U1
The analogue signal "manipulated variable" is generated by the fault monitor and
constitutes the control voltage for the power output controller.
The value range of the manipulated variable U1 is between 0 and 12 V when one
of the operation modes is activated.
Input direct current voltage P1

The voltage "input direct current voltage" is generated by the power output controller
and constitutes the source of energy for the HF-Generator, as well as the actual value
for the fault monitor.
Influencing this voltage cause a modulation.
Average range: 0 - 24 V.

7.2 Fundamental points regarding HF-Output power measurement

In contrast to other electrical devices, the measurement of electric high frequency
output is subject to large tolerances. As a result, the regulations treat measurement
values which deviate as much as +/- 20 % from the nominal value as correct.
For the ME 102 device the following tolerances in the measurement are permissible:
Cutting I 100 W at 600 ohm -20/+20 % (80 - 120 W)
Cutting II 90 W at 600 ohm -20/+20 % (72 - 108 W)
Coagulation 70 W at 600 ohm -20/+20 % (56 - 84 W)
Bipolar Coagulation 80 W at 100 ohm -20/+20 % (64 - 96 W)

7.3 Adjustment of the HF-Output power

On the ME 102 device there is no opportunity to adjust the operating modes "Cutting I"
and "Bipolar Coagulation". The output power for the operating modes "Cutting II" and
"(Spray-)Coagulation" are adjusted by setting the degree of modulation.
The setting for the degree of modulation, in particular the setting "SK" for the
(Spray-)Coagulation, should only be moved from its original position very slowly,
otherwise, there is a risk that the degree of modulation will be set too high,
which could result in damage to the SMPS or the HF-Generator!
Heed the calibration breaks on the MARTIN output measurement devices!
To set "Cutting II" proceed as follows:

Connect the output measurement device and set it to 600 ohm.
Select the current type "Cutting II" (shut off "Micro" mode) and set the left power
output controller to 10.
Activate the operating mode "Cutting" and, by carefully turning the trimmer "S2", set
90 W output power.
(For more power turn to the left, for less to the right.)
To set "(Spray-)Coagulation" proceed as follows:

Connect the output measurement device and set it to 600 ohm.
Switch off the "Micro" mode and set the middle power output controller to 10.
Activate the operating mode "Coagulation" and, by carefully turning the trimmer
"SK", set 70 W output power.
(For more power turn to the left, for less to the right.)
7.4 Adjustment of the NE Monitor

Connect a 230-ohm-resistor to the contacts of the NE-connection socket.
(solder 2 x 470-ohm-resistors in customary 6.3 mm jack plugs).
Move the trimmer "NE" clockwise until the NE fault indicator light blinks.
Turn the trimmer "NE" slowly anti-clockwise until the blinking stops.
Check that it is functioning correctly by unplugging the plug and plugging it in again.
V. 1.0 29
7.5 Adjustment of the switch-on threshold for bipolar-automatic

Set the right power output controller to 1 and activate the "Micro" and "Auto-Bipolar"
modes.
Connect a resistor with 2000 ohm to the bipolar connection socket. (Wind the ends
of the resistor wires around the branches with the forceps removed).
Be certain to set the power to a minimum, otherwise there is a risk of burns!
Turn the trimmer "BI" clockwise until the activation shuts off, then slowly counter
clockwise until the activation restarts.
Check that it is functioning correctly by unplugging the bipolar plug and plugging it in
again.

10. Changes
10.1 Procedure
Experience has shown that during their period of operation technical products are
subject to repeated technical changes which result from improvements in the product.
This creates the problem for servicing of there being several versions of the same type
of device. Before a repair can be made the version of the device has to be established.
As a result, it is absolutely essential to achieve clarity about the version status

before undertaking any work on the device!
This is illustrated in the device number:
ME 102 XX XX XX XXXX
consecutive production number
software status
hardware status
device type
10.2 Hardware status

The hardware status is determined by:
– Revision status of the PCBs (printed circuit boards)
– Revision status of the mechanical configuration
– Revision status of the adjustment
There is a sticker on the PCBs with the production identification number C 40-XXXX
and the version status Rev XX or V XX
If it has the same MARTIN order number (in accordance with Chapter 9.4), a PCB with
a higher revision status can be used to replace the older original part (downward
compatibility). In general, this does not apply in the reverse!
Incompatible PCBs are assigned a new identification number C 40-XXXX and a new
MARTIN-order number.
