About This Manual
Audience

This manual supports the field service maintenance and repair

of the Multiplane Transesophageal (MPT7--4) Scanhead. The
user of this document is a qualified ultrasound electronics tech-
nician who has completed training classes on the system and
its peripherals.

Manual Format

This manual has been formatted and distributed in two ver-

sions: for laptop-computer-screen viewing and for printed-page
viewing. Although both versions contain identical information,
the laptop page numbers and printed page numbers do not al-
ways correspond to each other. Use paragraph, figure, and
table numbers when referring others to specific parts of this
manual. In the laptop version, the table of contents, index en-
tries, and cross references use hypertext links to provide ac-
cess to the referenced information.

 1 Temperature Simulator

1--1 Overview
This section describes the MPT7--4 Special Test Equipment
Temperature Simulator, P/N 4500-6458-01. The purpose of the
MPT7--4 Temperature Simulator is to give the field the capabil-
ity to verify correct operation of temperature-sensing circuitry
on an Ultramark 9 HDI (UM-9) system (19.04E software) or an
HDI 3000 or HDI 5000 system used with the MPT7--4. Proce-
dures are included for verifying correct operation of the temper-
ature-sensing circuitry in the ultrasound systems. This tempera-
ture-sensing circuitry is used for both the MPT7--4 and the ATL
Pediatric TEE Scanhead.
The MPT7--4 Temperature Simulator is housed in a generic
scanhead connector assembly. In addition to simulating tem-
perature reference points for the system, the simulator also
generates control signals that can be used to test the system’s
scan plane position and lock indicators.

1--2 Temperature Simulator Verification
Before using the MPT7--4 Temperature Simulator, measure
resistance between pins C4 and C8 for each switch setting. Be
sure the SCANHEAD SELECT switch on the simulator is set to
the MPT position. Copy this page and record and date the
results on the copy.

tem monitor match those in Table 1--1. Allow 5 to 10 sec-
onds for the message to change.

1--7
 8. If the system prompts you to reselect the scanhead,
switch to the next TEMP setting, then reselect the scan-
head as described in steps 4 through 6.
9. After checking banner messages on all seven TEMP set-
tings, rotate the POSITION control on the simulator and
verify that you can rotate the scan plane position icon
through its full range.
10. Set the LOCK switch to ON and then OFF and verify that
the lock icon is displayed on and removed from the scan

1--5 HDI 3000 and HDI 5000 Banner Message
Summary
1--5.1 Estimated surface temperature of 41 degrees C
This message indicates that the temperature of the MPT7--4 tip
is 41 degrees C.
Explain to the customer that this is a normal banner message.
There is no problem with the scanhead or the system. This
banner message appears frequently when using the scanhead.
For more information, refer to the Multiplane Transesophageal
(MPT7--4) Scanhead Operating Instructions, P/N
4700-0292-XX.

1--13
1--5.2 Approaching the thermal limit: currently 44
degrees C
This message indicates that the temperature of the MPT7--4 tip
is 44 degrees C.
Explain to the customer this is a normal banner message that
indicates the scanhead tip is approaching the maximum
allowed temperature of 45 degrees C.
Turn the transmit power (SPTAd) down to bring the tip temper-
ature below 44 degrees C.
For more information, refer to the Multiplane Transesophageal
(MPT7--4) Scanhead Operating Instructions, P/N
4700-0292-XX.

1--5.3 Critical scanhead temperature, Please reselect

the transducer
This message indicates that the temperature of the MPT7--4 tip
is 45 degrees C. When the tip temperature reaches or exceeds
45 degrees C, the system will electrically disconnect the
1--14
 MPT7--4. At this point the user must re-select the scanhead to
use the system again.
Explain to the customer that 45 degrees C is the maximum
allowable surface temperature. After re-selecting the scanhead,
the customer can turn down the transmit power level (SPTAd).
If re-selecting the scanhead and turning down the transmit
power level fails, there is a problem with the MPT7--4.

1--6 UM-9 HDI Banner Message Summary

1--6.1 TEE THERMAL MONITOR FAULT
This message indicates that the system was unable to measure
the resistance of the thermistor in the MPT7--4 tip. If this mes-
sage is displayed again after reselecting the MPT7--4 scan-
head, there is a fault in either the system’s monitoring circuitry
or in the MPT7--4 scanhead.

1--15
1--6.2 APPROACHING THERMAL LIMITS
This message indicates that the temperature of the MPT7--4 tip
is 43 or 44 degrees C.
Explain to the customer that this is a normal banner message
that indicates the scanhead tip is approaching the maximum
allowed temperature of 45 degrees C.
Turn the transmit power down (SPTAd) to bring the tip temper-
ature below 43 degrees C.
For more information, refer to the Multiplane Transesophageal
(MPT7--4) Scanhead Operating Instructions, P/N
4700-0292-XX.

1--6.3 SCANHEAD POWER MONITOR -- RESELECT

XDCR (EB)
This message indicates that the temperature of the MPT7--4 tip
is 45 degrees C. When temperature reaches or exceeds 45
degrees C, the system will electrically disconnect the MPT7--4.
At this point the user must re-select the scanhead to use the
system again.
1--16
 Explain to the customer that 45 degrees C is the maximum
allowable surface temperature. After re-selecting the scanhead,
the customer can turn down the transmit power level (SPTAd).
If re-selecting the scanhead and turning down the transmit
power level does not eliminate this message, there is a prob-
lem with the MPT7--4.

1--6.4 RESELECT TRANSDUCER

This message, which is displayed along with other messages,
indicates that the system has electrically disconnected the
MPT7--4 scanhead because of a fault or over-temperature con-
dition. At this point the user must re-select the scanhead to use
the system again.

3--4 Leakage Tester STE Functional Test
This procedure is used to verify that the Leakage Tester Spe-
cial Test Equipment (STE) is functioning correctly. It requires
the following items:
D TEE Tester, P/N 3500-2724-01
D Digital multimeter, Fluke 8021B or equivalent
The STE is a class 1 device that plugs into the TEE Tester like
a scanhead. This STE simulates the pass and fail states for
MPTEE scanhead insulation and for valid test conditions.
This procedure should be performed once a year, and also any
time the STE indicates a faulty TEE Tester or if you suspect the
STE is not operating correctly. Record the results on a photo-
copy of the form in paragraph 3--5. An example of this form
with the necessary data entered is shown in paragraph 3--6.

CAUTION
Take care not to damage the pins of the scanhead
connector on the STE when performing resistance
measurements.
3--7
 1. Connect one lead of the DMM to J1 (black banana jack)
and connect the other DMM lead to pin W1 on the 260-pin
connector of the STE (Figure 3--1). Verify that the resist-
ance reads between 13.5 megohms and 16.5 megohms.
2. Set the Leak switch to the Fail position.
3. Set the DMM to resistance and the scale to 20 megohms.
4. Verify that the resistance at pin W1 reads between 1.8
megohms and 2.2 megohms.
5. With one lead of the DMM still connected to J1 (black
banana jack), connect the other DMM lead to J2 (red
banana jack).
6. Set the Cal switch to the Pass position.
7. Set the DMM to resistance and the scale to 2 K ohms.
8. Verify that the resistance is between 808 ohms and 842
ohms.
9. Set the Cal switch to the Fail position.
10. Verify that the resistance is between 1.18 K ohms and
1.23 K ohms.
