2.2
Return of Goods
When returning a unit to Gebrder Martin or a Gebrder Martin service point, use the original
packaging material (cardboard box) if possible, and add the following information (accompanying documents):
The unit incorporates components that are directly connected to the power supply network.
The rear section of the main board and the covered left section of the power manager board
remain energized even after the unit has been turned off. The voltages present in this section
of the circuit are the line voltage and the pre-stabilized direct voltage (which amounts to 390 V
after the unit has been switched on and drops to the peak value of the mains voltage after the
unit has been turned off). This section is specially marked on the main board. Three other voltages can be present as well: the medium-frequency supply voltage for the screen illumination
after the unit has been turned on, the power controllers output voltage of up to 200 VDC as
soon as the unit is activated, and the HF output voltage of up to 12 kVpp.
Therefore, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the power supply before performing any repairs. This is the only way to de-energize all components inside the
unit!
For certain servicing tasks, it is necessary to operate the ME402 in an open condition because
measurements or settings must be carried out. In such cases, be sure to observe the usual
safety guidelines for preventing electric shocks.
Since the switching power supply unit incorporates capacitors that may remain energized for
some time after the unit has been turned off, an electric shock may be caused if you touch
them. This danger is particularly high in the event of internal faults.

Service Functions
4.1
Service Menu
The maxium offers basic setting and service functions. These are grouped in the Service
submenu.
MENU
Service menu
Pressing the MENU button on the maxium and selecting the Setup menu item takes you to
the Setup submenu. Selecting the last item, Service, takes you to the text editor, which is
usually used for entering program names. In this context, the editor is used for restricting
access to the Service functions, as some of them can lead to irreversible actions that are possibly unintended by normal users. Therefore, you must first enter 2020 and select the Enter
button in order to access the Service menu. Selecting Escape takes you to the next higher
menu level. Pressing the MENU button a little longer returns you directly to the top or main
level.
4.1.1
Program Handling
The Program Settings service menu item allows you to make program-specific basic settings,
as well as to restore factory settings.

This function deletes any user-defined settings and restores the factory presettings. In this
way, it is easily possible to reset units to their original state, e.g. if they have been temporarily
handed over to customers (e.g. on a hiring or testing basis, or for temporary replacement of a
unit returned for repair). Calling up this function irreversibly deletes all user-defined settings
without any warning being displayed!

This deletes the lock symbol next to the program parameter preview (as well as in the preview
of the normal program selection mode where it is also indicated whereas it is not indicated in
the list of last-used programs (LUPs) on the main level). In this way, it is also possible to unlock several programs one after another, without any need to change the menu level.
Note that the Standard program cannot be unlocked with this function, as unlocking is only
temporarily possible using the Edit Standard Program function.

First, open the corner valve on the gas cylinder. The gas pressure reading on the manometer of the pressure reducer must be at least 100 bar for the procedure to be carried out.
Subsequently, close the corner valve again.
Via the menu path Beamer Parameters / Filling Level Calibration, select the item Measure
100 bar and press the rotary switch. This calls up a numerical display.
Use the PURGE button on the MB402 to activate a gas flow, thereby observing the manometer on the pressure reducer. Hold the button down until the indicated residual pressure
has dropped to 100 bar with the corner valve closed. Wait until the display has settled to
show a stable value, then press the rotary switch to log the value.
Select the Measure 30 bar menu item and press the rotary switch.
Again, use the PURGE button on the MB402 to activate a gas flow, thereby observing the
manometer on the pressure reducer. Hold the button down until the residual pressure indicated has dropped to 30 bar with the corner valve closed. Wait until the display has settled
to show a stable value, then press the rotary button to log the value.
Select the Ready menu item and press the rotary switch for confirmation.

From HW02, the maxium features a clock with calendar function supporting the log functions.
Once the unit has been switched off, this clock is powered by a battery located on the controller board. As the clock is not required for operating the unit as intended, a discharged battery
does not restrict its usability in any way.
The clock is set to Central European daylight saving time (CET) ex factory. There is no automatic changeover from daylight saving time to standard time. The time is also displayed, together with the battery status, via the Device Status / System Information menu path.
To set the clock via the path Device Settings / Time, select the Set Time menu item. The parameters year, month, day of month, hour and minute can then be individually selected and adjusted.

This menu item allows you to limit the maximum output voltage to 4 kV for all currents, e.g. in
order to protect endoscopic accessories against overload. However, this setting option makes
sense only for units up to (and including) HW02. In higher hardware versions, the newly implemented HF output voltage control function ensures that output voltages exceeding 4 kV are
limited to open-surgical spray and argon coagulation currents.

If used in the factory-preset mode, the horizontal bar graph below the dosage indicator shows
the current dosage setting relative to the maximum value available. As the rotary switch has
no left or right end stop indicating the minimum and maximum positions of the adjusting
range, the bar graph is intended to keep users informed about their currently set output power
level relative to the overall adjusting range.
The menu item YES allows you to switch the bar graph from indication of the set power to
indication of the actual HF output power relative to the set power. In this mode, the bar lights
up on only when HF power is actually emitted. This function is useful in cases where the user is
in doubt about the correct power setting for an application. For automatic cutting processes,
the preset power should always be higher than the power actually required for the task at
hand, as this provides reserve for controlling power peaks. If the indicated actual value constantly reflects the maximum level, then the preset power is possibly too low.
Selecting the No menu item returns you to the original bar graph mode (setpoint indication).

During HF current activation, the unit is locked against changes in its settings except for HF
output power adjustments, which are possible also during activation (when using the factory
presetting). By selecting Yes, however, this menu function allows you to lock the unit against
output power adjustments during activation as well. The previous function (power adjustment
during activation enabled) can be restored at any time by selecting the No item, thus releasing the lock.

Sound Scheme 1
Sound Scheme 2
Sound Scheme 3
Sound Scheme 4
Previously, the activation tone for cutting was lower-pitched than that for coagulation, while
there was no difference in pitch between the monopolar and bipolar operating modes. With the
implementation of SW2.360, this system has been changed. Now there are four different
sound schemes as follows:
Sound scheme 1: This is the new default sound set: Cut = high pitch, Coag = lower pitch, plus
pitch difference between monopolar and bipolar, i.e. 4 different acoustic activation signals altogether.
Sound scheme 2: Same as scheme 1: Cut = high pitch, Coag = lower pitch, but no pitch difference between monopolar and bipolar, i.e. 2 different acoustic activation signals altogether.
Sound scheme 3: Same as scheme 1, but additional differentiation between M1 and M2, B1
and B2, and monopolar and bipolar, i.e. 8 different acoustic activation signals altogether. The
difference between Bipol Cut B1 and B2 has been made particularly noticeable in response to
user requests.
Sound scheme 4: Martin Classic: Coag = high pitch, Cut = lower pitch. This setting corresponds to the previous maxium sounds used up to software version V1.357, reflecting the delivery status of all units with hardware versions up to HW03 inclusive. This means that
KLS Martin customers can set their familiar sounds.
Sound scheme 1 is automatically activated during software updates (default setting). Users
who wish to work with their familiar sound configuration therefore must switch over to sound
scheme 4 in a one-time action.

This menu item allows you to check the release status of the software of all the programmable
systems of the unit. Apart from the main controller, programmable systems are the two CPLDs
(complex programmable logic devices) for the sound generator and the HF current pulse pattern generator located on the controller board, the controller on the patient circuit side of the
monopolar board, and the Argon Beamer. These programmable peripheral systems can also be
supplied with program updates by the main controller. However, the patient-circuit and Argon
Beamer controllers require a bootloader for this purpose (a bootloader is a program part that
maintains communication with the main controller independent of the main program while the
old main program is being erased and the new main program installed). Whether the bootloader is installed or not is indicated here as well. The updating process is carried out automatically where possible. If not possible because there is no bootloader installed, both the current
version and the new version (the one that could be installed with a bootloader) are displayed.
The controllers can only be programmed with a bootloader from outside, using the programming interface provided on the respective board.
A CAN bus adapter for smoke evacuator control is recognized as well and indicated here if
connected.

Starting with hardware version HW02, all electronic components are equipped with identifiers,
i.e. small, non-volatile memories in which the modules ID number, serial number and version
number are stored. All of this information can be displayed in this menu. From HW04,
SW2.360, the unit automatically recognizes and displays the socket version as well. The identifier data is used to determine and display the hardware version of the unit. In this process,
non-permitted module combinations are detected as well in which case an error message is
displayed and the unit blocked as a result.
The size of the main-board program memory is displayed in addition. Up to HW01, the respective storage space was only 1 MB; from HW02, 2 MB are now available. This larger memory
size is required for software updates for V2.368 or higher versions.

Activations and error statuses are also registered by the system. Activations are displayed
chronologically, including activation source, duration, power, operating mode, and type of current used. Once the available memory space has been used up, the oldest entries are subsequently overwritten. However, as it would not be possible to locate the beginning of the log in
cases where there are no date and time entries (either because the current hardware does not
support a clock function or because the battery is discharged), the end of the log is marked
with a black bar.
Errors are stored in the sequence of their first occurrence. If they occur repeatedly, the counter of the existing entry simply counts up. The corresponding dates are not registered in this
case.

With some HW00 and HW01 versions, there may be problems with nominal power setting for
high-voltage coagulation currents, notably spray coagulation. In such cases, the menu now
(SW0.251 or higher) allows switching over to another setpoint table to achieve the desired
output power. There are two alternatives available in addition to the standard table (index 0).
The high spray output power spread is due to an insufficiently dimensioned HF generator
control circuit. However, this problem was already detected and cleared during HW01 production and therefore is no longer relevant to subsequent hardware releases. For maxium versions HW02 or higher, access to this function therefore has been blocked.

Setup
To update the operating program of the main controller, it is normally enough to connect the
ME402 to the RS232 interface of a PC and then start the marFlash tool. With HW00 and HW01
units, as well as in cases where it is not possible, for whatever reason, to start the updating
process directly (USB RS232 adapters tend to cause problems, for example), the unit must be
set to boot mode manually by selecting the corresponding menu function. This clears the
screen, causing it to turn violet or dark. If no data transfer takes place, the unit will remain in
this state, but restarting it is enough to make it ready for operation again. For more detailed
information on the topic of updating, please see the following section.
V 5.0
31
4.2
On the maxium, updating the operating program (software update) requires no program
memory exchange. Rather, this can be done externally by simply overwriting the memory contents by data transfer from a PC. As from software status 1.336, even the memory contents of
the patient circuit controller and the maxium Beamer controller can be updated in this way in
addition to those of the main controller. However, this presupposes a bootloader in these controllers (see section 4.1.4). For a detailed description of the updating process, please refer to
the CD which, among other material, contains the new operating software and can be obtained
from the Martin Service Center.
4.2.1
A serial RS232 modem cable (1:1) with male DSUB9 connector at one end and a female
one at the other end. Do not confuse this with a null modem cable used for connecting two
PCs. Such cables have female connectors at both ends and cannot be used even with an
adapter (gender changer)!
This cable must be connected to the female 9-pin DSUB9 socket designated RS232 on
the maxium, and to the PCs socket that is either designated Serial, RS232 or labeled
I0I0I (usually a male DSUB9 socket or, in the case of laptops, frequently a PS/2 socket
(such as the mouse connector)). In the latter case, you also need a PS/2-DSUB9 adapter.
For portable PCs that no longer feature an RS232 serial interface, a USB-RS232 adapter
must be used.
A laptop/PC with Microsoft Windows operating system and a free serial interface that
can be used by the operating system, e.g. COM1.
Program marFlash, which is also available from the CD containing the current software.
For installation and troubleshooting, please refer to section 4.2.4. The previously used Flashit tool should not be used anymore since it does not support the program memory extension to 2 MB. As a result, software version 2.368 or higher versions can no longer be
programmed with that tool.
The current operating program for the ME402 maxium in the form of a
me402_VX.XXX.h86 file, with X.XXX standing for the current version. This program is
available on a CD together with the installation program.
If a maxium Beamer is available, you should connect it, although this is not mandatory because from version 1.335, the maxium can automatically update the Beamer later.
4.2.2
Once the PC and the maxium have been connected with each other via the specified serial
cable, and after the current download program has been installed from the CD if necessary,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the PC and the ME402.
32
V 5.0
If the normal updating procedure is interrupted (due to an interruption of the data transmission process or some other malfunction that causes a data transmission breakdown), turn off
the ME402 maxium and restart it again. If the unit can be switched on again in the normal
way, with the old software version indicated on the starting screen, you can simply repeat the
normal updating process described in section 4.2.2. However, if the screen remains dark, the
reprogramming had already been started but could not be completed, with the consequence
that the program memory contains only a non-executable fragment of the new software. In
this case, it is no longer possible to prepare the unit for the updating process via the operator
interface. Instead, proceed as follows:
1. Open the unit as described in section 6.1.
2. Using a pointed object, shift one of the two slide switches of the boot mode switch to the
ON position. If necessary, disconnect the X4 connector (which connects the front board to
the controller) from the controller board to facilitate access to the boot mode switch. The
two slide switches have the same function; their contacts are connected in parallel. Then
reconnect the cable to X4.
3. Reconnect the serial connecting cable to the PC, then start the marFlash program.
4. Reconnect the mains cable to the PC. CAUTION! The units rear section is now energized even if the unit is turned off!
5. Turn on the unit. The display screen remains dark now.
6. Click Upload in the marFlash dialog box. This starts the updating procedure. After deleting
the old program memory contents, the new data will be transferred and burnt in. The
whole process will take approximately four minutes for the ME402. Upon its completion, a

7. The unit will not be restarted automatically. Once marFlash indicates that the data transfer
has been successfully completed, switch off the ME402 and disconnect the power cord as
well as the connecting cable to the PC from the unit.
8. Reset both slide switches of the boot mode switch to their OFF position. If necessary, again
disconnect the front boards connecting cable to X4 and reconnect it afterwards.
9. Perform functional check. Reconnect the power cord to the unit and turn it on. The self-test
screen must now indicate the new software version.
10. Disconnect the power cord again, then close the unit as described in section 6.1.
11. Thereafter, perform the periodic safety checks specified in section 11. For units with hardware status HW00 and partly HW01, the basic setting (calibration) for the monopolar
high-voltage coagulation currents must be checked in addition, following the instructions
given in section 4.1.5.

In principle, the marFlash program does not require installation marFlash can be started
also from the CD/DVD directly. Nonetheless, it certainly makes sense to test the software first
because access to the serial port can cause problems. Once the system has been configured
successfully, experience shows that it runs very smoothly.
The marFlash program can only be used for updating Martin units of type ME402 maxium
with the associated maxium Beamer. Neither a dongle nor licenses are required for this.
When starting the program, the following problems can occur:
Despite the fact that a serial port is available on the PC, this port may not be available
because it is used/blocked by another software. The culprit may also be the
maxiumPC program described in section 4.3! In all other cases, try to find out which software is currently using the port, then cause it to unblock it. A typical representative of such
programs is the Nokia Communicator, which is a self-triggering program and blocks the
serial port permanently. It is easy to deactivate such programs via the task bar. This reliably unblocks the port.
Whether a RS232 serial port is really available or not can best be checked with the terminal
program Hyperterm, a Microsoft Windows accessory. The baud rate should be left at
57,600 BAUD.
Find out the correct serial port (COM port). This requires some testing on a trial-and-error
basis. Note that this involves some traps. Other programs that use the serial interface can
block marFlash e.g. the mouse driver or unintentionally opened programs (e.g. mobile
address management via Outlook, or the Nokia Communicator software), internal modems
or IrDAs (changeover switch often hidden in the PCs setup). Normally, however, it should
be possible to run the program with any serial port that can be opened with Hyperterm,
the Microsoft Windows terminal program.
Note: Be sure to terminate Hyperterm prior to starting marFlash! If not terminated,
Hyperterm itself could block the serial port!
Advanced portable PCs no longer have an obligatory RS232 interface. Rather, they use adapters that can be operated at the USB port and provide a RS232 cable connector. However, experience shows that these adapters do not always work properly. Especially in light of the
great number of possible combinations between PC models and adapter models, it is hard to
give reliable advice regarding the best choice. In case of problems with a USB adapter, the
following tricks might help:
Terminate all other programs: Messenger, Firewall and any other tool that sporadically
draws on the computers resources (e.g. disconnect from network).
Reset the protocol of the serial interface used (but only this one!!) from None to Hardware flow control. (This is not really logical, but it may help!)
In a nutshell: Just find out whether the adapter really holds out to the end of the programming process in a given configuration without any communication error or breakdown. Otherwise, only the use of a PC with RS232 interface will help.

The ME402 maxium with MB402 maxium Beamer features several programmable subsystems. While previous software updates lacked the software required for these subsystems,
software versions 1.336 or higher are capable of updating some of these subsystems as well if
necessary. This applies to the monopolar patient circuit controller, the CPLDs on the controller
board and the maxium Beamer. The version check is carried out during the initial self-test.
The subsystem updating process takes place only once (if required), namely immediately after
the first restart of the system following updating of the main controllers operating program (as
described above). Of course, such subsystem updates require some additional time during the
first restart. It also presupposes that the software of these subsystems already includes a
bootloader. The presence of a bootloader can be checked via the Service menu as described in
section 4.1.4. HW00 and HW01 units do not have a bootloader as a serial feature; programming of a bootloader is possible only directly via the programming interface of the module or
the main board of the Beamer, respectively. This also requires special programming adapters
and tools. If installation of bootload capability on such a system is required, please contact the
Martin Service Center.
4.3
From SW2.368, the settings of a unit can be transferred to another ME402 unit or be stored on
a PC or loaded/restored from a PC. This is done via the serial RS232 interface that is also used
for software updates.
The minimum software status required for transferring settings from or to a ME402 is V2.368.
The software status is displayed during power-on or may be checked as described in section
4.1.4. If a software version lower than V2.368 is used, then a software update has to be performed in the first place. However, this requires an extended program memory of 2 MB, which
is a serial feature only in units with HW02 or higher hardware versions.
4.3.1
If a units settings are to be copied to another unit, then the serial RS232 interfaces of the two
units have to be connected with each other. To do this, please use the serial connection cable (which is also used for software updates) in combination with a null modem adapter that
changes the gender of the cable plug from female to male. Do not connect the female end
of the cable without adapter to the adjacent CAN socket! A standard null modem cable
as commonly used for connecting two PCs cannot be used here since it features female connectors at both ends.

V 5.0
As soon as both units are connected to each other, a menu appears on both screens which is
not accessible via the other menu levels. Selecting the appropriate menu item enables you to
decide whether to transfer or receive only the stored programs, only the settings (preferences)
associated to the stored programs, or both together. To transfer the units complete setup to
another unit, choose the item Send both for uploading or Receive both for downloading.
Note that the function of your choice needs to be selected only on one of the two units. Subsequently pressing the rotary switch for confirmation automatically sets the other unit to the
complementary operating mode, no separate setting required.
Transfer starts upon pressing the rotary switch, type and status are displayed.

To exit the transfer operating mode, the two units must be separated again by disconnecting
the serial cable and pressing the rotary switch.

maxiumPC is a simulation of the ME402 on a PC. Along with other tools, the simulation program is available on the software update CD, together with a detailed description.
maxiumPC simulates the ME402 with the same software version with which it is stored on the
CD. Consequently, maxiumPC always has the same version status as the simulated software.
The hardware to be simulated can be selected, which enables simulation of older hardware
versions as well. Among other options, maxiumPC can be used for the following:
Learning and demonstration of the functions and the handling/operation of the ME402
without any need for a physical unit.
Generation of graphics of the screen contents (screenshots) for use in user manuals,
service manuals and sales/marketing literature.
Generation of user-specific settings on a PC, which can then be uploaded to the maxium.
38
V 5.0
Reading out user-specific settings for filing them or transferring them to other maxium
units.
The program can be run on any PC with Microsoft Windows operating system and can be
started from the CD directly. No special installation is required.
4.3.3
The transfer of settings from a ME402 to a PC or vice versa is done in the same way as described in section 4.3.1 for two maxium units, with one of the units simulated on a PC using
the maxiumPC program.
In a first step, using the serial connection cable without null modem adapter, connect the
ME402 to the PC in the same way as for software updates, then start the maxiumPC program.
The data transfer menu must now be displayed on both the ME402 and the simulated unit. You
can now set the transfer mode either on the ME402 or on the simulated unit. The simulated
unit can be loaded with a stored setup from the PC in order to transfer it to the ME402.
Conversely, a setup can be transferred from the ME402 to the PC and can be stored there.
MaxiumPC generates setup files with the X icon of the maxium logo and the extension .EPM.
The files for setting the hardware configuration have the extension .HWC and are also marked
with the X icon.
The programs maxiumPC and marFlash should not be opened simultaneously on the PC since
both of them use the serial interface independently and therefore may impede each other in
accessing the serial interface.
5.1
General Procedure
Most technical products offered on the market are subject to a continuous process of improvement that leads to technical changes at more or less regular intervals. This poses a problem for the service technician insofar as he must be able to deal with several versions of the
same type of unit. Before starting any repair or servicing work, therefore, it is mandatory to
determine the version status of the unit at hand!
In the case of KLS Martin ME units, you can easily check this via the serial number, which has
the following structure:
ME402 m XX XX XXXXXX
Type of unit
Type of socket module
Hardware status
Software status (not identical w. version number!)
Consecutive production number
In addition, ME402 units indicate the current software version number (a consecutive number)
on the screen during the initial self-test (carried out after turning on the unit).
V 5.0
39
5.2
Hardware Status
The boards feature one or two labels with the module ID number (C40 number or 6-digit
item number), a 6-digit serial number and a version number. As from hardware (HW) status
02, some ME402 boards are additionally equipped with an electronic identifier, i.e. a small
memory that also stores this data and can be accessed by the main controller. From HW02,
the hardware status of any such board therefore can be easily checked via the Service menu.
If the hardware of a board is changed in the way of a technical improvement that does not
affect the interfaces or the intended use of any of the features of the unit, then the version
number is simply incremented and the HW status remains the same. Only if the new version is
no longer connection-compatible to the previous hardware, or if it provides modified or new
features, the module is assigned a new item number and the hardware status is incremented
in addition.
If a board is repaired by the manufacturer, it is marked with an additional repair label. Where
possible, such boards are upgraded to current revision status and are then used as replacement boards (exchange boards) for repairs following comprehensive testing.
The following paragraphs are intended to give you an overview of the various configurations,
with details on the differences as well as the compatibilities between the various revision statuses. If revised boards are released, this is always accompanied by a description of the new
configuration. The corresponding documentation is distributed by the Martin Service
Center through the same channels as this service manual.

Upgrade options: Use of the new bipolar board II (C40-2155) with improved impedance
monitoring and bipolar expander support. This requires version 5 or higher for both the main
board and the controller board (so a board upgrade will be necessary if this requirement is not
met). The bipolar board II is supported from SW01.333 onwards.

HW01). Apart from a newly added electronic version recognition function, these two modules
do not provide any new functions. The connector plugs of choke L6 have been modified. This
also necessitated a new version II of the monopolar board (C40-2224), which differs from version I only with regard to plug connector X4, and a new version II of the monopolar socket
module, also fitted with a new connector.
The bipolar board I (C40-1930) has been replaced with the bipolar board II (C40-2155). Board
II has a new impedance monitor offering a higher resolution for higher tissue resistances a
change necessitated by the introduction of the Auto Start/Stop functions. Moreover, the bipolar
board II supports the use of the bipolar port expander, which allows connecting two instruments (for bipolar cutting and bipolar coagulation) to the bipolar output B2 in the Martin (m)
version. This is controlled via the instrument recognition function that is available from
SW1.336.
To ensure that the old hardware configuration can be distinguished from the new one, an electronic module recognition function has been integrated for the major boards. This function also
allows displaying the hardware versions and serial numbers of the various modules for servicing purposes.

The first version (V00) does not include a backup battery yet and
therefore no clock. This also means
that service functions involving time
management are not available. Moreover, version V00 cannot be upgraded

This hardware configuration does not represent a production status of its own. Rather, some
HW02 devices have been rebuilt for limitation of the monopolar output voltage a feature that
is a regular part of serial production only in units with hardware status 04 or higher.
The HW03 configuration was built only in the KLS Martin (m) version. Nonetheless, it is possible to retrofit the front part with connections for other accessories. As the HW03 front is identical with that of HW02, the HW02 spare part numbers are to be used when changing over to a
different socket module.

Compared with HW02, this configuration newly offers the additional option of limiting the monopolar HF output voltage to defined levels. Besides, the properties of some monopolar currents have been optimized by a general improvement of the HF output current regulators.
Moreover, relative to HW02, a new main board III (C40-2346), a new power manager board
III (C40-2337) and a new monopolar board III (C40-2281) have been used in this configuration. These three boards had already been introduced with HW03.
Due to the manufacturers discontinuation of an electronic component, the controller board has
been redesigned (version III, C40-2327). This included a modification of the screen connecting
cable and its connector. Besides, the converter for the fluorescent lamps of the screen module
has been transferred from the controller board to the front board. And taking future extensions
into consideration, SPI bus addressing has also been changed to allow connection of additional
users.
All LEDs located on the boards of the front part have been replaced with SMD versions. This
also necessitated changes regarding the optical guides of the front part. The board with the NE
status indicators has been additionally equipped with a hardware identifier to enable the operating program to identify the socket configuration.
The front board IIIa (C40-2424) now features the converter for the fluorescent lamps, which
was previously located on the controller board.
As a new screen module with a different connector for the fluorescent tubes was needed, the
front board had to be adapted as well (version IIIb, C40-2471). These changes resulted in the
HW05 system configuration.

The spacer on the rear side of the board and the high-voltage protective cover of the CFL converter are not included in the spare part delivery. These parts therefore must be transferred to
the replacement board.
Due to changeover to another screen module having only one lamp connector, a new front
board version with a matching connector was required as well:

Compared with previous versions, this hardware configuration has a completely redesigned
bipolar part. This change was mainly motivated by user requests for special bipolar TUR currents and for improved bipolar ligation currents allowing the use of advanced endoscopic ligation instruments. The most prominent feature are the new bipolar connecting sockets. The
round combination socket at output B2 of the m (KLS Martin) version has been eliminated;
instead, both bipolar outputs (B1 and B2) now have the same new combination socket that
allows connecting conventional forceps cables with an 8mm coaxial plug as well as instruments
with a 4mm plug (either with or without additional control contacts for finger switch operation
and instrument recognition). In the international (i) version, the 8mm coaxial socket has
been eliminated; in the Erbe (e) version, the 8mm socket has been replaced with a 12mm
socket. This means, of course, that the previous bipolar port expanders can no longer be used,
which is why a new port expander has been developed for HW06 units and higher hardware
versions.
The bipolar board II (C40-2155) has been replaced with a bipolar module III consisting of
two boards: C40-2532 and C40-2533. Even though the module connects two separate boards
with each other, only the complete bipolar module III is available as a spare part because
preadjustment of the module would otherwise not be possible. The scope of functions has been
expanded to a point that it is now possible to measure and regulate the HF output voltage, the
HF output current, as well as the direct voltage that is superimposed on the HF output voltage
during the cutting process. A dedicated microcontroller supports the new as well as the old
functions.
The previous standby circuit for the mains voltage has been replaced with a relay that works
like a mains switch. This in turn necessitated replacing the power manager board III (C402337) with power manager board IV (C40-2510) to ensure support for the changed function.
Due to the modified bipolar part and the modified standby circuit, the main board has been
replaced with a new version IV (C40-2509). This change also involved a replacement of the
main-board optocouplers (used for communication with the monopolar patient circuit controller) with versions that offer a higher transmission frequency. This in turn made it necessary to
adapt the interface on the monopolar board, so this module had to be replaced by a new monopolar board IV (C40-2511). However, the functions of this board have not been changed.

To this end, the serial number of the unit is stored on the controller board. If bipolar TUR
currents have already been released for use, orders for a controller board III as a

General Information
The ME402 maxium & MB402 maxium Beamer system incorporates altogether four independent program memory systems:
Non-volatile memories in the CPLDs for HF current acoustic signals and pulse patterns
The main controller program can be updated from outside via the serial RS232 interface. The
main controller in turn is capable of updating the programs stored in other modules of the system as necessary, and provided those modules have the required boot-load functionality.
However, such functionality is available only from software version 08 in the case of the patient circuit module, and from software version 2.07 in the case of the Beamer. This can lead
to a situation in which the ME402 can no longer be operated after updating the software of
HW00 or HW01 units because it may not be possible for the new software to update the patient circuit controller. The same applies to the Argon Beamer. Therefore, prior to updating the
software of hardware versions 00 or 01, please check whether the intended update also affects
the patient circuit controller and the Beamer or not! In case of doubt, contact the Martin Service Center.
Status and version number of the main controller software are briefly displayed in the format
SS.VVV after turning on the unit. Whereas the three digits after the dot (VVV) represent a
consecutive version number reflecting the development status, the two digits preceding the
dot (SS) indicate the software status (as displayed in the serial number as well).
If the software status number indicated in the serial number (digits preceding the dot in the
number displayed on the screen) changes, additional hardware upgrades or external software
updates for specific peripheral modules loaded with programs may be necessary as well to ensure that the new software version is executable and all new features are available for use.
Please check in such case!

23. The Service menu item Create Programs has been renamed Reset Programs.
24. The NE menu items Single-plate and split NEs and Split NEs only have been changed
from a program-specific setting to one that applies to all programs. However, this does not
apply to the separate (independent) item Baby NE allowed which continues to be a program-specific setting.
25. Connected NEs are now classified by the software, with the consequence that a valid nonsplit NE can become a non-valid one. This is a new feature, as displaying a non-valid (i.e.
red) single-surfaced NE was not possible previously.
26. The acoustic activation signals have been reversed in pitch: Cut is now high-pitched, whereas Coag is lower-pitched. This reversal is a concession to market conventions, as many
users are accustomed to this sound regime from working with competition products. However, it is possible to change this via the Service menu, so dyed-in-the-wool KLS Martin
customers can easily retain their customary sound scheme.
27. The Service menu offers four different activation tone sets or sound schemes allowing
users to distinguish acoustically not only between monopolar and bipolar, but even between all 8 channels (e.g. B1 Cut vs. B2 Cut):

V 5.0
This is the first software version that is no longer backward-compatible with previous ME402
standard hardware versions as delivered, due to the need for a program memory extended to
2 MB (flash ROM).
Hardware conversion from 1 MB to 2 MB was implemented in the HW01 series by way of upgrading the controller board I (C40-1926) to version V06. All HW02 units were shipped with
the new controller board II (C40-2217) which always offers an expanded memory of 2 MB
already in place.
Upgrading the controller board I to 2 MB is basically possible but must be done at the factory.
However, as this step alone would not be sufficient for utilizing all of the new functions offered
by the new software (meaning that additional hardware resources would be required), updating the software to V1.346 might be the better (more cost-effective) alternative.
Update for units with hardware statuses HW02 to HW05
Installation ex factory in units with serial end numbers 071796 to 082299
This software offers the following new functions, compared with 2.361:
1. New function maxiumPC. The maxiumPC program enables users to simulate the maxium
on a PC, so that all operating/control functions of the maxium are available for use just as
with the real unit. User-specific programs set up with maxiumPC, as well as user settings,
can be transferred from the PC to the maxium via the RS232 interface and vice versa if
users wish to save such programs or settings or copy them to another maxium unit.
2. New function Back2Back. Allows programs and settings to be transferred from one maxium unit to another via the RS232 interface.
5.4.19

First release for HW06 units. This version is not backward-compatible with previous
hardware versions!
Installation ex factory in units with serial end numbers 082300 to 082410.
This software version offers the following improvements and new functions:
1. New bipolar TUR currents for resection in saline solution using bipolar current. This includes
the following currents:
Uro Bipol Pure Cut with and without booster pulse: Bipolar cutting currents with low hemostasis for use with resectoscope in saline solution. The intensity of the cut can be controlled via 5 different grade settings, which means that power setting differs from that used
for monopolar TUR currents. To facilitate starting the cut upon activation, the HF output
power can be temporarily increased (boosted) by periodic pulses. If 10 successive pulses
have elapsed but the cutting process still has not been started, current activation is automatically stopped and a warning signal sounded. This current can also be used without the
booster pulse function.
Uro Bipol Blend Cut with and without booster pulse: Bipolar cutting currents with increased
hemostasis for use with resectoscope in saline solution. The intensity of the cut can be controlled via 5 different grade settings, which means that power setting differs from that used
for monopolar TUR currents. To facilitate starting the cut upon activation, the HF output
power can be temporarily increased (boosted) by periodic pulses. If 10 successive pulses
have elapsed but the cutting process still has not been started, current activation is automatically stopped and a warning signal sounded. This current can also be used without the
booster pulse function.
Bipol TUR Coag: Bipolar coagulation current for hemostasis with resectoscope in saline solution. An HF output power presetting of up to 180 W is conventionally used.
These currents represent an extra option available only against an extra charge, which is
why special release is required. To this end, our Logistics department creates a release
code for each unit based on its serial number. To enable the bipolar TUR function, users
have to enter this code via the text editor.
2. Improved currents for polypectomy and papillotomy. As the usual power setting procedure
is rather impractical for these currents, the cutting intensities are now controlled via 5 different grade settings. In addition, the short cutting phases are now process-controlled
(whereas they were previously subject to a rigid time regime).
These currents are characterized by alternating coagulation and cutting phases. Upon activation, the whole process starts with a coagulation phase. This setting can be globally reversed for these currents via a new submenu item in the Service menu. However, the default setting still starts with a coagulation phase.
3. Additional selection of the footswitch as an activation source for bipolar Auto Start currents
is no longer possible.
4. The maximum argon flow setting can now be globally limited to 3.0 l/min via the new submenu item Endo Flow in the Service menu.

This section explains how to dismount and reinstall the components of the ME402. Special aspects are discussed where applicable in this context. The numbers given in parentheses relate
to the spare parts lists provided in section 5, with several numbers referring to the different
socket modules. First thing with any unit is to clarify the hardware status. Specific differences
between the various hardware releases are highlighted as well.

To satisfy different markets, the ME402 comes with one of three different socket panels. If the
unit must be converted to adapt it to a different system, we recommend exchanging the entire
socket panel.
1. Open the unit as described in section 6.1, then remove the front part following the instructions given in section 6.2.
2. Disconnect cable (25) which connects the front board to the activation indicator board
from the activation indicator board (77).
3. Disconnect the membrane keypads flexible cable from X5 on front board.
4. Disconnect cable (26) which connects the front board to the NE status indicators from
the small indicator board (78) which carries the LEDs.
5. Remove the six screws with which the socket panel is fastened to the front frame, then
remove the socket panel from the front panel.
6. Attach new socket panel from the front and fix it in place with the 6 screws.
7. Connect the membrane keypads flexible cable to X5 on the front board.
8. Reconnect connecting cables to activation indicator board and NE status indicator board.
9. Reinstall front part as described in section 6.2, then reconnect unit as specified in section
6.1. Thereafter, perform functional check and safety checks.

6.4
As an alternative to replacing the entire socket panel, individual sockets can also be replaced
in case of wear or defect. However, this only applies to the bipolar sockets. As the two monopolar sockets form an integrated connection unit (43, 53 or 63), they must always be replaced
together.
1. Open unit as described in section 6.1, then remove front part as described in section 6.2.
2. Remove the screws of the defective socket, then take out the socket or socket module.
3. Insert the replacement part. Be sure to insert the monopolar socket module in the correct
position the HF power supply connector must be on the inner side. Transfer the plastic
supports of the insulating cover from the old part to the new one. In the case of the B2 bipolar socket of the m (KLS Martin) version (45), it is important to ensure that the outerring cutout is located at the top. In the case of the 4-mm B2 bipolar socket of the i version (55), the additional control contacts must be located on the outside, not the inside.
4. Reinstall front part as described in section 6.2, then reconnect unit as described in
section 6.1. Thereafter, perform functional check and safety checks.
6.5
The channel-selector and NE-status indicators consist of light-emitting diodes whose light is
transmitted through the socket module carrier to the front by (molded) transparent plastic
parts. While defective plastic light guides can be replaced individually, LED failure requires replacement of the whole board.
From hardware version 02, the connector between the activation indicator board (77) and the
socket backlight board (80) has been changed. Therefore, it is no longer compatible with old
boards (HW statuses 00 and 01). Only the new version is available as a spare part. Therefore,
both boards must be replaced in the case of HW00 or HW01 units.
From HW04, the light guides and the LEDs have been changed to surface-mount style (SMD).
1. Open the unit as described in section 6.1, then remove the front part following the instructions given in section 6.2.
2. If the NE status indicator is defective, disconnect cable (26) from the NE status indicator
board, then remove the screws and the board (and if necessary, the plastic light guide).
3. If an activation indicator or the socket backlight is defective, the m and i versions require removal of the socket module carrier as described in section 6.3 before you can remove the socket backlight board (80). This is also necessary for replacing the activation indicator board (77) because both boards are connected to each other. If you need to replace
the socket-illumination light distributor (42, 52, 62), all boards and all sockets must be
taken out (see section 6.4).
4. During reinstallation, be sure to insert the plastic light guides correctly into the socket
module frame. The plastic light guides for the activation indicators (48, 58, 68) are identical for all versions, whereas the plastic parts for the NE status indicators are different for the
m and e versions (47, 67) on the one hand and the i version (57) on the other hand.
As all of these components have an asymmetrical light exit, be sure to verify from the front

2. Disconnect the connecting cable from connector X2 on the front board.
3. Remove the two fixing screws with which the unit is mounted on the front frame, then take
out unit backwards, thereby disconnecting the LED/backlight board (79) from ring (34). If
you need to replace this board as well, first disconnect cable (27) from the board.
4. If you do not need to replace the entire unit, continue by taking out the rotary button (32)
backwards with your fingers. This requires application of some force.
5. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw located at the front of hub (33), then remove the
hub from its shaft. Thereafter, remove backlight ring (34) together with rubber ring (90).
6. Use a wrench to loosen the bearing bush (35) with which the rotary switch is screwed to
fixing bracket (36).
7. During reinstallation, begin by mounting rotary switch (31) to fixing bracket (36), together
with bearing bush (35). Be sure to position the grounding cable connector correctly.

The screen module (75) should be replaced in a dust-free environment to prevent any unwanted particles between the screen and the protective pane (21). To prevent the screenmodule and protective panes from getting electrostatically charged, we recommend placing
them on a clean, antistatic surface (e.g. covered with a soft, lint-free, natural-fiber cloth).
When handling the screen module, be sure to observe the working guidelines relating to ESDsensitive components. Unlike the other electronics components, the screen module cannot be
repaired and, therefore, is not available as a (refurbished) exchange part.
1. Open unit as described in section 6.1 and disconnect front part as described in section 6.2.
2. Remove front board (76) as described in section 6.8.
3. Disconnect the four screws that attach the screen module to the front part. The screw located next to the connecting cable connector is used also for fastening the electrical connection required for shielding the module. Remove screen module upwards and disconnect
connecting cable (23) if necessary.
4. If you just need to replace the fluorescent tubes, unlock the black plastic clips (lifting them
a little), then withdraw the tubes longitudinally. Insert the new tubes fully, making sure
that the plastic clips engage correctly.
5. If you want to replace the protective pane, remove the inner gasket, then take out the
glass pane (complete with its outer seal) by pressing it inwards.
6. Before installing the new pane, check it for cleanness (no dust or finger prints!). If necessary, clean it with a soft cloth.
7. Place the protective glass pane on a clean, antistatic surface with its outer surface upside,
then put the new, soft external gasket supplied in place on the glass pane (around the
shoulder or inner part). Verify that the rounded-off edge of the outside contour of the protective pane is upside, whereas the bottom edge is not rounded off so the glass can only
be installed in this way. Insert both components into the front part from the inside (hold
front part over the glass pane thus prepared, with its outer surface upside). Take care not
to touch the glass surface with your fingers when doing this (we recommend using a piece
of cloth or wearing gloves). Then turn the whole assembly around and check that the external seal is correctly in place on the shoulder of the glass pane and does not protrude underneath the glass.
8. Install the dark inner gasket on the inner side of the protective pane, then put the screen
module in place, installing it straight/perpendicularly from above and fitting it to the front
part with the four screws. Note that the tube connectors must be on the side of the HF output sockets. The screw next to the connector is used also for connecting the shield (in units
up to HW03: the cable lug of connecting cable (23); in units from HW04: a separate cable).
Connect cable (23) to the plug connector.

The controller board (71) stores the user settings. As far as possible, therefore, these settings
should be saved prior to replacing this module, or loaded down as described in section 4. When
handling the controller board, be sure to observe the working guidelines relating to ESDsensitive components. This board is available as a (refurbished) exchange part. Spare or replacement parts are shipped with the most recent software available, so no update is required.
1. Open unit as described in section 6.1.
2. Unlock the controller board by removing the locking pins located at the upper ends of the
support rails.
3. Disconnect the serial interface cable (8) from X10 and the front-board connecting cable
(24) from X4.
4. Disconnect the cables of the two footswitch sockets (5) and (6) from X8 and X9.
5. Disconnect the screen-module connecting cable (23) from X2 at the controller board. With
units up to HW03 (controller boards I and II), this connector is located on the boards rear
side. If necessary, loosen the screws of the front part according to 6.2 and tilt the front
slightly forward to get better access to the connector.
6. With units up to HW03, disconnect the connecting cables of the fluorescent tubes from the
connectors X5 and X6. To disconnect the lower tubes cable from the connector X6 at the
boards lower edge, pull the board a little upward in its rails, then withdraw board upwards.

7. Prior to installing a new board of version I or II, check jumper X500 for correct position. If
necessary, set it to the same position as used with the old board (concerns adjustment to
Erbe footswitch). With units up from HW04, check the jumper array X3 and configure X3 of
the new part in the same way as X3 on the old part.
8. For reinstallation in units up to HW03 (with controller board I or II), start with inserting the
board into its supporting rails, then connect the cable of the lower fluorescent tube to X6
first. The cable must be routed underneath the bottom edge of the board to the connector
located on the upper side. Note that the connecting plug is not rotationally symmetric and
can only be inserted in one position. Thereafter, with units of up to HW03, connect the
screen-module cable (23) to X2 on the boards rear side, then press the board downwards
in its support rails and lock it with the locking pins provided at the upper ends of the rails.
If necessary, screw front part in place again.
9. Reconnect the cables of the two footswitch sockets (5) and (6) to X8 and X9, respectively.
As the cable connectors differ in pin number, misconnection is prevented.
10. Connect the connecting cable of the upper fluorescent tube to connector X5 (units up to
HW03 only), the serial interface cable (8) to X10 and the front-board connecting cable (24)
to X4. Since the serial interface cable also fits X4 in units up to HW03, it is important to ensure a correct match to prevent misconnection.
11. With units up from HW04 (controller board III), connect the flexible flat connector from the
screen to X2 on the component side. For this purpose, the connector is to be guided around
the support rail. Take care that the flat connector is not subject to mechanical stress or
kinked in the plug area.
12. The controller board has no adjusting positions. Before closing the unit, reconnect the power cord and verify that the unit is operational. Thereafter, disconnect power cord again.
13. Reconnect the unit as described in section 6.1, then perform functional check and safety
checks.

The power manager board (72) houses two separate electric circuits. One of them connects to
the mains voltage, with some of its components carrying a voltage of up to 390 V to ground.
For this reason, this part of the board has a protective cover. The other part is connected to
signal mass and therefore uncovered. It also houses the adjusting positions. The power manager board is available as a (refurbished) exchange part.
Never pull out or insert the power manager board while mains voltage is present!
Non-compliance may destroy the transistors of the main boards power supply part!

board through the cutout provided in its right side. Subsequently, fix board in place with
the eight nuts.
11. Connect the connecting cable of fan (11) to connector X12 and the cable of the loudspeaker (10) to connector X8 located on the right at the front of the main board. Plug the PSU
connecting cable (15) into connector X1 located on the rear left. Connect the two cables of

If one of the footswitch sockets (5) or (6) or the loudspeaker (10) is defective, the entire module complete with connecting cable must be replaced.
1. Open unit as described in section 6.1.
2. Remove front part as described in section 6.2 and controller board (71) as described in
section 6.10. If required for better access to the defective module on the rear wall, remove
power manager board (72) as well (see section 6.11).
3. Disconnect the cable of loudspeaker (10) from connector X8 located on the right at the
front of the main board.
4. Using a size-7 socket wrench, remove the eight self-locking nuts that hold the main board
to the housing bottom. Lift the board a little on the right side so the bunch of cables located underneath can be pulled out more easily.
5. Cut the cable fasteners holding the cables together, then disconnect the connecting cable
of the defective module and dismount the latter from the rear wall. In the case of the small
footswitch socket of HW00 and HW01, you need a special tool to do this. However, the
threaded ring that holds the socket in place (sometimes two rings were used, one on top of
the other) can also be removed with a normal screwdriver just insert the blade into one
of the slots and instead of rotating the screwdriver apply counterclockwise tangential
pressure to the ring. Spare parts feature a hex nut which is easier to mount. As from hardware status 02, the loudspeaker comes mounted on M3 threaded bolts with insulating nipples.
6. Install the new module on the rear wall. In the case of the small footswitch socket, place
the part into the mounting hole, pull the cable through the hex nut and screw nut in place
on the socket. Be sure to meet the plastic fine pitch thread correctly (no jamming!) and do
not tighten too much. Take the connecting cable to the right and combine it with the two
other cables. Install the loudspeaker in the same way as you removed it.
7. Lift the main board a little on its right, place the cables underneath it and lay them out behind the stay-bolts in such a way that they can be easily routed upwards, without getting

The power supply socket (3), the serial interface unit (8) and in units with HW status 01 or
higher the connecting socket for the maxium Beamer (7) are all located on the rear panel of
the unit and can be replaced without any need to remove the main board.
1. Open unit as described in section 6.1.
2. If better access to the defective part is needed, remove power manager board (72) as well
(see section 6.11).
3. If you need to replace the power supply socket (3), disconnect the main-board connecting
cable (15) and the protective conductor (PE). Remove the two fixing nuts, then remove the
socket inwards. When installing the new socket, do not forget to transfer the fuse holder
(4) from the old part to the new one.
4. If you need to replace the serial interface unit (8), remove the four nuts and withdraw the
unit inwards. When installing the new unit, ensure that the male DSUB9 socket is located
on the left (towards the power supply socket) and the female DSUB9 socket is located on
the right (footswitch socket side).
5. If you need to replace the Argon Beamer connecting socket (7), begin by disconnecting the
cables from connectors X2 and X21 on the main board. With HW01 units, this socket is still
mounted by way of a threaded ring (sometimes even two rings are used, one on top of the
other). A special tool is usually needed to remove the threaded ring(s). However, you can
also use a normal screwdriver. Just insert the blade into one of the slots and instead of
rotating the screwdriver apply counterclockwise tangential pressure to the ring. Spare
parts are provided with a hex nut which is easier to mount. Insert the new component into
the opening from the outside, then guide the two connectors and the PE terminal through
the nut and screw nut in place on the socket, taking care to introduce the plastic fine
thread correctly (no jamming). Do not overtighten! Fix PE conductor cable in place on the
rear wall, then reconnect the two cable plugs to X2 and X21 on the main board.
6. Reconnect the power cord and check that unit is operational, then again disconnect mains
cable.
7. Close the unit as described in section 6.1, then perform functional check and safety checks.

General Information
The Martin ME402 maxium is a universally applicable high-frequency (HF) surgical unit satisfying all requirements of clinical users as well as specialized private practitioners. As an accessory, the Argon Beamer MB402 is available, which has been specially optimized for use with
the ME402 maxium and is completely controlled via the latter. Both units and the gas cylinder
can be conveniently installed on the maxium Cart, a special equipment trolley.
Compared with its predecessors, the ME402 has been upgraded with a range of new features,
especially the following:
Wide-range power supply unit for supply voltages of 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
Operation through an 8.4-inch TFT color screen with background illumination (provided by
2 fluorescent tubes).
Selection of numerical values via rotary switch with axial switching function and channel
selector buttons.
Two equivalent monopolar HF outputs that can be activated either by finger switches
(pushbuttons) on the electrode handle or by a freely assignable footswitches.
Two bipolar HF outputs one activated with a freely assignable footswitch or by impedance-dependent automatic control; the second activated with a freely assignable footswitch, or by impedance-dependent automatic control, or with the instruments finger
switches. This second output features an instrument recognition function as well. From
HW02, it also allows connecting two different instruments for bipolar cutting and bipolar
coagulation which can be activated separately.
Exchangeable socket modules for connection of KLS Martin accessories and US-specific accessories. Besides, an extra version is available for connecting Erbe accessories.
Serial CAN interface for making the ME402 part of an integrated OR system, as well as for
communication with other medical equipment.
RS232 serial interface for convenient software updating directly from your PC, for transferring settings and for other servicing purposes.

7.2
The bottom part of the ME402s housing functions simultaneously as a chassis for all the other
modules and assemblies. The front part, also fitted to the bottom of the housing, serves as a
separate mounting rack (module carrier) for the instrument connecting sockets, the display
screen, the rotary switch and the buttons and indicators, plus the associated boards with the
electronic components required for their operation. Whereas the large front board is an exchange part that can be repaired/refurbished by the manufacturer and is offered at a reduced
exchange price, the small boards accommodating only the light sources for the indicators and
backlights are not available as refurbished parts. The same applies to the TFT screen board.
The main board houses the power electronics for the power supply units, the HF current generator and four other modules required for the associated signal electronics. While the latter can
only be replaced by the Technical Service, the main board can be both replaced and repaired
on the component level (by the specialized dealer or the hospital technician himself). The main
board features only the large power electronics components. While it is true that these components have the highest failure probability, checking/testing and replacing them is relatively
easy.
The Argon Beamer MB402s main board contains the pneumatic valve block with associated
control and regulation electronics including a microcontroller. Moreover, the MB402 has a small
front board containing the status indicator LEDs. The PURGE button is also connected to this
small board. The MB402 is powered and operated/controlled through the ME402 via a connecting cable attached on the rear side of the unit.
7.3
The electronics of the ME402 can be subdivided into the following functional units:
Front part
7.3.1
From the mains alternating voltage, the power supply units generate the voltages required for
the HF generator, the control system and, if connected, the Argon Beamer MB402. In this
process, the mains voltage nominally ranging between 100 V and 240 V, depending on the
location is rectified and brought to a fixed, direct voltage of 390 V. Thereafter, two paralleled
stages generate the fixed auxiliary supply voltages of +15 V and +5 V for the main controller
and the Argon Beamer, as well as the variable voltage VDC needed for HF generator operation.

Limitation of the transient inrush current is ensured by NTC thermistors (resistors) located on
the main board. For overvoltage limitation, a voltage-dependent resistor (VDR) is provided on
the main board. The fuses for fault-current interruption have a nominal value of T6.3A (6.3 A
slow-blow) and are located in the power supply socket for the detachable power cord.
The filter assembly for limiting the interference voltages generated by the unit consists of a
filter integrated into the connecting socket for the power cord and filter components integrated
into the power input circuit on the main board.

This voltage regulator also features an internal control loop that controls the mains power input so that it is proportional to the mains voltage. In this process, the actual-value signal of
the power input current is picked off at resistor R4. As a result, the unit responds like a resistive load connected to the line and does not generate the power input harmonics that are otherwise typical for devices having a rectifier as part of their power input circuit (power factor
correction). At a high power output, the cos is 1; in non-activated condition (with unit ready
for operation, i.e. in standby mode), this value is lower due to the reactive current of the filter
capacitors in the mains input circuit.
A fast-discharge circuit ensures that C8 is discharged within 10 seconds to a non-dangerous
level as soon as the unit is disconnected from the supply voltage. As from hardware version
02, a red LED B1 lights up if C8 is energized.
The auxiliary supply voltage VH for the signal electronics and the drivers of the mains-circuit
power transistors is provided by an auxiliary winding of choke L3. A green LED VH located in
the upper left section of the power manager board indicates presence of voltage. As this circuit
supplies power only after the step-up converter stage has built up, a starting circuit is provided
as well which, through a high-ohmic resistor, charges a capacitor directly from the rectified

The power manager module generates the auxiliary supply voltages of +15 V and +5 V from
the medium-frequency secondary voltage of T2. Presence of these two voltages is indicated by
two green LEDs 5V and 15V, which are located at the upper edge of board versions I and
II, and in the upper right corner of board version III.

In the first hardware versions (01 and 02), this flip-flop always returns to reset state following
disconnection from the mains, which means that the unit remains switched off after a power
failure. As from hardware version 02, the flip-flop maintains its current state for approx. 5
seconds, so the unit remains on if the power supply is briefly interrupted and no restart is required.
The power manager module features a jumper X10 (underneath the protective cover) that allows disabling the flip-flop by setting (replugging) the jumper to the 2-3 position. This can be
useful for servicing and performing the technical safety checks.

Transistor V11 is equipped with a temperature-dependent resistor (NTC) which switches on the
fan located on the floor underneath the transistor bridge when the temperature rises above
80C. After cooling down to approx. 50C, the fan is switched off again. If the temperature
keeps increasing despite cooling, the generator is switched off once a temperature of approx.
120C is reached.

Through optocouplers, the finger-switch activation signals CT1 and CG1, or CT2 and CG2, are
transmitted to the NE-side microcontroller. LEDs connected in series with the optocouplers indicate the presence of an activation signal yellow for cutting and green for coagulation.
When using instrument cables with a plain 4-mm connector, misconnection may occur because
this plug which should be inserted into the inner conductor of the coaxial socket technically
fits the adjacent 4-mm sockets for the finger switch signals as well. Such misconnection could
damage the finger switch because when the HF current is activated with the footswitch (which
is the usual source of activation when using instruments with such cables), the current would
be rerouted through the finger-switch control circuit. To prevent damage, HF current flow
through the finger switch circuit is monitored. As soon as a critical limit is exceeded, the signal
PIN1 or PIN2 is generated and indicated by a red LED. While presence of such a signal is normal in connection with one of the finger switch activation signals, the generator is switched off
and an error message displayed if the signal PIN1 or PIN2 occurs alone or in conjunction with a
footswitch activation signal.

The same direct voltage builds up between the neutral and active electrodes and is again superimposed on the HF voltage. By capturing the voltage between the output sockets and filtering
out the superimposed direct-voltage content, it is possible to arrive at a quantity that can be
used as the actual value for cutting canal formation. As this voltage continuously increases
along with the increase in the electric power used/applied in the cutting canal, it can be regulated as well. With the ME402, this is the task of the control circuit termed arc regulator.

From HW03, the monopolar board features a second HF output voltage regulator at outputs M1
and M2, designed for HF output voltage limitation in no-load condition to reduce the load on
connected instruments and minimize HF leakage currents.
Apart from measurements for the DC component, there is also an HF voltage measuring path.
The PWM output of the microcontroller in the monopolar applied part must be multiplexed in
order to obtain separate setpoints for the AC regulator and the DC regulator, formed by downstream PWM demodulators. Both regulators act upon the same LED which, via a plastic optical
fiber, transmits the control signal to the power controller located on the power manager board,
as described in section 10.3.2. If the HF voltage regulator is active, this is indicated by the red
LED ACR lighting up brightly (while glowing darkly if the regulator is non-active). The same
applies to the DCR LED indicating DC regulator action or non-action.
The microcontroller of the applied part can bypass these regulators by using the CRB signal to
control the LED at the optical link directly. This allows it to switch off the HF output power very
quickly.

If split NEs are used, impedance measurement is possible only on the patients skin because
the patient closes the monitoring circuit. The alarm is switched off as soon as impedance drops
below a limit of approx. 250 ohms and a green split-NE symbol is shown on the screen. Usually, however, impedance is much lower, but the minimum is reached only after a few minutes.
The monitor stores this minimum and uses it as a reference value for the alarm decision. Exceeding this minimum by a predefined value triggers NE alarm with the consequence that no
monopolar HF current can be generated or power output is interrupted. This ensures NE alarm
in cases where the NE detaches from the patient unnoticed irrespective of electrode or patient skin properties.
The unit offers a special graphical indicator informing the user about NE contact quality, i.e.
the degree to which it makes contact with the patients skin. It has the form of a horizontal bar
graph or scale with a slide and three fields in the colors red (alarm range, no HF output),

output signals K1 and K2 for controlling the high-voltage relays in the output paths leading
to sockets M1 and M2;

the arc regulator.
from HW03: PWM output signal PWM multiplexed with signal PWU, which are used to
generate the analog setpoints DCS and ACS for the two regulators;
from HW03: analog input signal ACI, which corresponds to the analog actual value of the
HF voltage;
signals of the synchronous serial interface: MOSM, MISM, CLKM and CSM.
The controller features a flash EPROM that can be programmed in-circuit on the board with a
programming plug. Provided a bootloader has been installed (available from program version
V8.0, implemented with HW02), this program can be updated automatically by the main controller after updating the units software.
The transmission format of the synchronous serial interface, which serves for communication
with the main controller, is equivalent to an SPI bus. Due to the insulation required between
the patient circuit and the intermediate circuit, the optocouplers U1U4 are used to deliver the
signals MOSI, MISO, CLK and CSM to the main board. While the sender and receiver circuit of
the high-voltage side is found on the monopolar module, the associated circuit of the intermediate circuit side is located on the bipolar module.
In normal operation, a yellow LED flashes on the monopolar module at a frequency of approx.
1 Hz. A red LED lights up if communication between the main controller and the patient circuit
controller via the SPI bus is interrupted. This is also the case during to the main controllers self-test. A green LED lights up when the main controller is sending an activation command.

The bipolar applied part is located in the upper half of the bipolar module, next to the monopolar module. The following functional groups can be differentiated:
impedance monitors
With hardware version 02, a new bipolar module is available, with improved impedance monitors and the option of using separate paths for the cutting current and the coagulation current.
Together with an appropriate software upgrade, this module can also be used for hardware
versions 00 and 01.

The signals IEN1 and IEN2 are used to activate or deactivate the impedance monitors of the
outputs B1 or B2, respectively. In these two identical monitors, a multivibrator generates a
periodic signal that is fed to the poles of the corresponding bipolar output socket via a filter
network. Tissue contact of the active electrode creates a shunt that attenuates the signal. The
resulting decrease in the signals amplitude (due to attenuation) is then used as a tissue resistance measure. The signal amplitude is determined by rectification; the trimmers IMP1 and
IMP2 are used to set the output voltages for operation without tissue contact, with the output
signals IMP1 and IMP2 transmitted to the main controller in analog form.

When the Auto Start type of current was implemented with HW02, a monitor with higher sensitivity was required. The monitor signal is now a periodic sequence of groups of individual
pulses (bursts) whose instantaneous values are registered via sample-and-hold elements to
restore analog DC signals IMP1 and IMP2. Adjustment to the resonance frequency of the filter
network is done with the switches S1, S2 and S3 by setting a division ratio by which the monitor frequency is derived from the fixed frequency of a quartz.
When activating HF current, the circuit of the HF output transformer T13 (on main board) is
connected in parallel to the filter network via C1 and C2 on the bipolar board. This not only
changes the resonance frequency of the filter network, but the output signal IMP1 or IMP2 as
well. Therefore, the amplification of these signals is switched depending on the position of the
output relays which also explains why the basic setting of the signals IMP1 and IMP2 must be
done separately for the open source circuit (OC) and for the closed source circuit (CC). The
yellow and green LEDs next to the trimmers indicate the current state of the circuit. With the
HF output socket shorted, the trimmers SC1 and SC2 are used to adjust the output signal to a
defined value.
The operating modes with automatic activation of HF power upon tissue contact pose high risks
in endoscopic interventions because unintentional tissue contact is almost unavoidable when
placing the instruments in the surgical field. For this reason, the ME402 requires the user to
expressly confirm the Auto Start/Auto Stop mode when calling up a program that includes such

Two driving signals, GT1 and GT2, are required for driving the HF generators transistor bridge.
These involve pulse patterns that are specific for each type of current. The patterns are generated by a programmable logic device (CPLD) but are set/provided by the main controller. In
this process, the main controller charges the internal registers of this generator via the SPI
bus. The internal signal GTEN enables the controller to switch the pulse pattern generator on
and off.
Similar to the HF generators driving signals, the sounds for the acoustic indication of HF activation and alarm statuses are also generated by a CPLD whose registers can be controlled by
the main controller via a serial interface. While the acoustic generator has a frequency range of
two octaves for four voices, only the first, the fourth and one of the two middle voices can be
delivered to two separate outputs which corresponds to a major or minor chord.

The main controller board III (C40-2327), implemented with HW04, involves a change in the
internal address system for the SPI bus users, designed to increase the number of users that
can be addressed. The software takes these differences into account by querying the hardware
configuration. If an error occurs in this process and the hardware configuration is not identified
correctly, this may lead to incorrect addressing of the SPI bus users, resulting in an error message such as Patient circuit controller does not respond or CPLD xxx does not respond or

As from hardware version 02 and software version 1.336, the controller routinely checks the
version statuses of the various boards. Therefore, from hardware version HW02 onwards, all
boards feature a small memory with a one-wire bus interface, used for storing the respective
ID data. This is necessary because the hardware version HW02 introduces new board versions
with partially different properties. As these are used along with the boards already in use, the
operating program must be capable of differentiating between the different types of board.

General Information
The maxium Argon Beamer MB402 is an accessory unit for use with the ME402 maxium HF
unit. It generates a defined gas flow in the range of 0.1 to 12 l/min. The gas flow is simultaneously activated with the HF current. As this Beamer is exclusively controlled through the
ME402, all settings (gas flow rates, etc.) are made on the latter. The argon gas and the HF
current eventually merge in the patient-side (distal) part of the applicator. To irrigate the applicator with argon gas prior to connection (in order to remove the air still present in it), a special button is available on the unit (the PURGE button/function). It allows the user to generate
a pure gas flow without HF current activation.
The coagulation process utilizes a special property of the inert or noble gas argon, namely its
easy ionizability. By delivering the HF coagulation current to the tissue surface as part of (or
packed in) a directed, ionized gas beam (argon beam), better i.e. more targeted and more
uniform surface coagulation results can be achieved than in conventional spray coagulation.
The cutting process, in contrast, uses the argon gas as a protective gas flowing around the
cutting electrode. While the gas is neither actively involved in the current delivery nor in the
cutting process, it counteracts the generation of combustion products. And in both applications, the gas beam helps to clear the surgical field by blowing aside any liquids present on the
surface.

Argon
The chemical element argon (atomic number 18) is an inert or noble gas present in the ambient air in a concentration of 0.93%. It is extracted from air by liquefaction. Due to its inertness, argon by itself does not undergo chemical reactions, which means that, while odorless, it
is neither ignitable nor aggressive nor poisonous. This prevents the formation of argon-based
disintegration products in the argon beam plasma. Moreover, its release into the ambient air
(from which it has been extracted) poses no environmental problems at all.
Although all noble gases can basically be used for beamer operation, the MB402 has been designed for operation with argon because this inert gas is not only by far the cheapest available,
but the one most readily accessible as well. Gebrder Martin recommends using quality 4.8
argon characterized by a purity of more than 99.998%. Although such a high degree of purity
is not really required for maxium Beamer operation, only such high-purity gases which are
primarily used in chemical analytical procedures can be obtained in cylinders that are not
part of the usual production and distribution cycle (which includes cylinders used in the manufacturing and craft sectors, which may be heavily contaminated). While it is possible to use
argon gas of a quality level higher than 4.8, this would not bring any additional application
advantages.
Due to its inertness, and unlike carbon dioxide (also used for medical-technical purposes), argon gas has no adverse influence on the lungs gas exchange processes. Nonetheless, if
present in very high concentrations, argon can displace the air needed for breathing. No such
concentration can occur, however, if the room is ventilated in a normal way and the MB402 is
used as intended, thus ruling out suffocation under normal operating conditions. But one
should bear in mind that argon does constitute a potential danger if it escapes in poorly ventilated places or is released in pits or cavities. Since argon is heavier than air, it can accumulate
on the floor if ventilation is insufficient.

The MB402 Argon Beamer is capable of generating a defined argon flow in the range of 0.1 to
12 liters per minute at the patient-side (distal) output of the applicator. The pneumatic unit
required for this has been combined in a monolithic valve block located on the main board.
In the MABS pressure reducer that is directly mounted on the cylinders angle valve, the argon
gas, which is usually delivered in cylinders with an internal pressure of up to 200 bar, expands
to an intermediate pressure (output pressure) of 2.5 to 4 bar. At this pressure, the gas is then
supplied to the MB402 via a hose connected to a quick-action coupling (as used with compressed-air-operated tools) located on the units rear panel. Inside the Beamer, a hose (or
flexible tube) delivers the gas to the valve block, which features a filter at its input side to prevent ingress of foreign bodies. Immediately behind the filter, the unit has a connector for the
pressure sensor S1, which is located on the board outside the valve block. S1 has the task of
measuring the input pressure to provide the system with information on whether the pressure
is inside the permitted range or not. Besides, it provides information on the cylinders current
filling level.
Valve V1 behind the input has the function of a shutoff valve that opens only upon activation of
the MB402, provided the input pressure is in the permitted range. This valve is followed by the
control valve V2 used for setting the gas flow rate. V2 is driven by a variable current supplied
by a switching amplifier.
The actual flow rate is measured by the pressure difference created when the flow passes
through a narrowing in its path. This value is picked up by the differential-pressure sensor S2
located outside of the valve block. The pressure signal increases quadratically (i.e. by square
law) relative to the flow, which means given the flow range of 0.1 l/min to 12 l/min a maximum ratio of 120 between the two flow values, which in turn would translate into a maximum
ratio of 14,400 between the pressure values measured. As this would make excessive demands on the properties of the measuring amplifiers used, the cross section of the

The status indicators on the ME402s display include an optional indicator that keeps the user
informed about the argon supply (or filling level) of the pressurized cylinder connected to the
MB402. Because, unlike carbon dioxide for example, argon does not liquefy under high pressure but remains a compressed gas inside the cylinder, its pressure is a direct measure of the
filling level. The column shown on the ME402s screen, which represents the cylinders filling
level, is consequently not in line with the physical facts. However, it is much easier to
represent the process of continuous draining simply by means of a column than by trying to
give a graphical description of the gas expansion process (that actually takes place in the cylinder). Therefore, the filling level can be indicated by the cylinders internal pressure, as evidenced by the manometer provided on the pressure reducer. The manometer indicates the gas
pressure inside the cylinder when the angle valve has been opened. The maximum filling pressure of 200 bar corresponds to a full cylinder.

As the pressure reducer with the manometer is usually located either behind the units or inside the trolley
(Cart), checking the pressure level in
this way is possible only by looking
behind the systems or opening the
Carts door.
However, the filling level can also be
determined indirectly, using the pressure present at the Argon Beamers
inlet. This method takes advantage of
a specific property of pressure reducers namely that the pressure reducers output pressure is not a constant
quantity but, rather, depends on the
input pressure too. A brief description
of the functional principle of pressure
reducers may help to understand this:
A valve that controls the gas flow is located between the high-pressure input and the lowpressure output of the pressure reducer. The disc of this valve is driven by a diaphragm that in
turn is pressed upwards with a force FF by a spring located underneath the diaphragm, thus
opening the valve. On the upside, however, the force FN acts upon the diaphragm due to output pressure. As gas flows through the valve gap from the high-pressure side, output pressure
builds up to a point at which the force FN (exerted by output pressure) is exactly equal to the
force FF exerted by the spring. If the output pressure subsequently continues to rise, the diaphragm moves downwards, thus closing the valve with the result that no gas can flow in any
longer. As gas flows off at the output pressure side, the spring will again open the valve
enough so gas can flow in again from the high-pressure side to restore the balance between
the forces acting on the diaphragm. In this way, output pressure is automatically regulated.
However, there is still another, third factor involved in this system: the force FH, which is the
product of the high pressure and the effective valve surface, and which supports the force FN.
Therefore, the question of what amount of output pressure is required to achieve a balance
174
V 5.0
between the forces acting on the diaphragm also depends on the high pressure. If the cylinders internal pressure is very high, this balance is achieved with a comparatively low output
pressure and vice versa. This means that output pressure increases while the cylinder is being drained, as can be seen from the pressure reducers output characteristic. Consequently,
the cylinders filling level can be determined by measuring the output pressure.

Nonetheless, this method is subject to certain limitations and peculiarities that require some
explanations:
1. This type of pressure measuring works only when the MB402 is in standby mode
(as long as no argon gas flow is activated). As soon as argon flows to the MB402
through the pressure reducer and the hose, a pressure drop occurs, depending on the selected flow rate. This leads to a different pressure at the MB402s gas inlet that cannot be
used any longer for determining the cylinders filling level. Therefore, the filling level indicator is frozen during gas flow activation which constitutes no problem, though, because
there is no noticeable change in the filling level during activation. This can cause irritation,
however, if the user forgot to open the angle valve, in which case only the gas contained in
the pressure reducer will expand while the pressure on the pressure reducers input side
rapidly decreases. As a result, the filling-level indicator will drop heavily (or even trigger
the alarm) upon deactivating the gas flow even though gas was indicated to be in sufficient supply prior to activation.

The boards feature a number of indicator lights (LEDs) representing specific signals or indicating the presence of voltage. They can be used for recognizing faults.
9.2.1
Main Board
From HW02, the main board has a red LED B1 that indicates whether voltage is present at the
output of the PFC stage of the electrolytic capacitor C8. In units up to HW05, this LED is always on under normal conditions if the unit has been connected to the mains. From HW06, it
lights up only after the unit has been turned on. If this LED does not light even though mains
connection has been established, then either the mains input circuit or the B1 circuit itself is
defective. Frequently, the line fuse (located in mains connector socket) has been blown in this
case, but this is only a secondary fault caused by a PSU short.
9.2.2
Controller Board
Up to HW0q1, the controller board features a red heartbeat LED; from HW02, this LED is
green. Under normal conditions, it flashes continuously at a frequency of 1 Hz to indicate correct execution of the operating program of the main controller. Certain error/fault conditions
are indicated by changes in the flashing regime (periodic flash sequences followed by pauses)
as follows:
1 pulse:
non-used
2 pulses:
3 pulses:
4 pulses:
Trap B interrupt
5 pulses:
All of these error messages indicate a fault in the core of the controller. If reprogramming (i.e.
updating the software) does not help, the controller board must be replaced.
The controller board versions I and II (C40-1926, C40-2217) of units with hardware status
HW00 to HW03 additionally feature a red LED that lights up continuously but has no indicating
function.
Controller board III (C40-2327), used in units with hardware status HW04 or higher, has a red
LED that is off in normal operation. If it lights up, this means that the protective circuit of the
converter powering the serial interfaces and the footswitches has been tripped due to overload. The serial interfaces and the footswitches function no longer in this case. If the overload
has not been caused by connecting a plug with incompatible pin assignment to a serial interface, then one of the interfaces is defective and the controller board must be replaced.

The LEDs located on the power manager board indicate the following operating and error
conditions:

Monopolar Board
The monopolar board has two interfaces for finger switch signal transmission to the HF output
sockets M1 and M2, plus a section that is connected to the NE and also contains the microcontroller of the monopolar patient circuit. The following signals are indicated by monopolar board
LEDs:
CT1: Yellow LED that lights up if the yellow finger switch (for cutting) is operated on an electrode handle connected to M1.
CG1: Green LED that lights up if the blue finger switch (for coagulation) is operated on an
electrode handle connected to M1.
PIN1: Red LED. If it comes on after monopolar HF current has been activated, this indicates
that HF current passes through the finger switch interface connected to M1 because the 4mm
connector of an instrument cable has been wrongly plugged into one of the control contacts
instead of inserting it in the left part of the HF socket. During high-voltage coagulation, this
LED may also come on as a result of crosstalk (feedover) in the handle cable when using
finger switch activation. In this case, however, it does not signal a fault. If no HF current has
been activated and this LED comes on, it indicates that both finger switches have been operated.
CT2: Yellow LED that lights up if the yellow finger switch (for cutting) is operated on an electrode handle connected to M2.
CG2: Green LED that lights up if the blue finger switch (for coagulation) is operated on an
electrode handle connected to M2.
PIN2: Red LED. If it comes on after monopolar HF current has been activated, this indicates

REG: From HW00 to HW02, the monopolar boards I and II feature this yellow LED. It indicates
that the boards DC regulator is active. Along with the REG LED, the FR LED located on the
power manager board lights up as well. By setting the jumper to its alternative position on
plug connector X6, it is possible to bypass the regulator, which causes the REG LED to light up
continuously. This procedure is used to adjust the operating point (transfer characteristic) of
the optical link with trimmer DCM on the power manager board in units with hardware versions
HW00 to HW02.
If you forget to move the jumper back to its original position on X6 after the adjustment has
been made, the power controller will be blocked as a result. An error message (error 190:

HW06 onwards, there are three sections of this kind. The first of them is the interface for the
finger switch signals; the second section refers to the impedance monitors; and from HW06,
the bipolar board III has a dedicated microcontroller that also uses LEDs to indicate operating
states. Whereas only finger switch signals are indicated on the bipolar board I (HW00 and
HW01), the bipolar board II (from HW02) and the bipolar module III (from HW06) provide indicators for the operating states of the two impedance monitors as well.

Provided a fault in the power cord or the building installation can be ruled out, you should first
check the fuses located in the power supply socket. If both fuses have been blown and are
black inside, a short in the mains input circuit is likely. In fact, it is highly probable that the
transistor of the step-up converter has been shorted. In this case, the main board must be
taken out and either repaired or replaced. If the unit is still inoperable after replacing the main
board and the fuses, the power manager board is defective as well.
If both device fuses are OK or only one has been blown without being blackened inside, the
fault has likely been caused by a mains input circuit overload (due to a fault in the power electronics system powered by the mains input circuit) or by a fault in the signal section of the
power manager board. To check this, replace the blown fuse (if applicable) and try to restart
the unit.
Attention! Never remove or insert the power manager board as long as the unit is
connected to the mains because this could destroy the semiconductors of the mains
circuit!
If, with the power cord connected, the green VH LED lights up after pressing the ON-OFF button, this means that the PFC stage is working. Together with VH, the WDC LED will light up as
well in this case. A voltmeter connected between the measuring point DC- and the left side
of fuse F1 or F2 must then indicate a direct voltage DC+ of 390 V.
If the two LEDs VH and WDC are off (dark) and no voltage can be measured at F1/F2, then
the mains input circuit is interrupted, with the fault located either in the power supply socket,
the main board or the connecting cable between these two components.
If the two LEDs are off and only a voltage in the range of the mains voltage peak (approx.
325 V in a 230-V supply network, approx. 165 V in a 115-V supply system) can be measured
at F1/F2, then the input controller either does not work or cannot be switched on. This can be
checked with the S1 switch located on the power manager board, which is connected in parallel to the ON-OFF switch located on the front panel. If the unit can be turned on with this
switch, then the path of the ON-OFF switch is interrupted or the switch itself is defective. This
path leads from the power manager board to the main board to the controller board, and from
there via the connecting cable to the front board (to which the switch is connected). However, if operating S1 generates no response, this may mean that the fault is in the power
manager board. If replacing the power manager board does not help, the fault must be on the
main board.
If the VH LED is on but the WDC LED is off, this indicates a fault in the input controllers control circuit. In this case, the voltage measured across DC- and F1/F2 significantly deviates
from 390 V. This indicates a fault in the power manager board.

If the ME402 can be operated normally but only little or no HF output power is available at the
four outputs without any error message being displayed, this indicates a fault in the power
controller or the HF generator or the drive circuit.
In standby mode, the three LEDs FR, PR and UR are off (dark). As soon as the unit is activated without load, the UR LED lights up to indicate that the voltage regulator is active. When
activating cutting current at nominal load, the green LED PR comes on to indicate that the
power controller is active. When selecting Pure Cut 400 and activating the cutting current at
no-load, a direct voltage of 140 V can be measured across the measuring points VDC (X15)
and GND (X16) on the main board, with UR lit.
If, upon activation, only very little or no direct voltage is present at the VDC measuring point,
this can have several reasons: no direct voltage generated, or a short occurred, or the overdosage monitoring circuit interrupted the current path between the power controller and the HF
generator. It may also be that HF output was blocked by a monitoring (e.g. NE alarm) function
in the normal course of operation. This must be checked as well.
204
V 5.0
9.5
If the HF current cannot be activated through one of the activation paths while all of the other
paths are functioning correctly, a basic fault in the HF generator can be ruled out.
As a general rule, an HF activation path is in proper working order if the associated activation
signal can be heard.
If an HF output cannot be activated via the footswitch assigned (provided a fault in the footswitch itself can be ruled out), it is very likely that the fault is located in the SIP/SOP interface
on the controller board. In such a case, the ME402 cannot be activated through either one of
the two footswitch sockets.

As all spare part modules have been pretested and adjusted at the factory, the correct basic
setting is guaranteed when replacing an electronics module, so no special adjustment is necessary. Nonetheless, certain safety checks and tests are mandatory after any repair to verify
correct reassembly of the unit.
10.1
All ME402 adjustments are made via adjustable resistors (trimmers) or via switches. Adjustment is necessary for the following functions:
Setting the setpoints for the output power regulator and the regulator for the powercontroller output voltage, both located on the power manager board.
Setting the operating point of the fiber-optic (optical) receiver on the power manager
board.
Setting the operating point of the HF output voltage regulator on the monopolar board
(from HW04).
Setting the operating frequencies and output signals of the two impedance monitors on the
bipolar board.
Basic setting of the bipolar instrument recognition function on the bipolar board.
10.2
Upon replacing the main board, the power manager board or the controller board, it is necessary to check the basic setting of the two regulators for generator operating voltage and power
limitation, as well as the setting of the monopolar optical receiver (and from HW06, the setting
of the bipolar optical receiver as well). If a fiber-optic transmission link (optical link) to the
power manager board has been interrupted, it is always necessary to check the basic setting of
the optical receiver for correctness.
The following tools and working aids are needed for these tasks:
HF power meter (e.g. KLS Martin EPM3). This instrument should at least allow setting the
following resistances: 50 , 100 , 300 , 400 and 600 .
Monopolar test leads (connecting cable from NE socket to HF power meter with shorted
jack plug, and laboratory cable with 4mm plugs for connecting the active electrode to the
power meter).
Adjusting screwdriver.

207
The voltage regulator is active if the generator provides no power or less power than required.
Voltage regulator action is indicated by the red LED UR lighting up on the power manager
board. Checking and adjusting is done as follows:
Using the test cable, connect HF power meter to HF unit, then set resistance to 400
leaving the load circuit open (do not set power meter to ON!).
Activate Pure Cut current without load. Use trimmer USO on power manager board to set
the direct voltage to +140 V at VDC. The red LED UR must light up during this process.
If the voltage deviates significantly from +140 V, check the test setup and the settings on the
portable testing set as well as the unit for correctness.
Setting to 200W at 400 Ohm with Pure Cut 200, green LED PR must light

The power regulator is always active when the generator operates within the normal range of
adjustment during cutting. When using coagulation currents, this regulator is not always active
(depending on type of current used). If active, this is indicated by the green LED PR lighting
up on the power manager board. Checking and adjusting is done as follows:
Close load circuit of the HF power meter already connected and set it to a resistance of
400 (set power meter to continuous operation and ON).
Activate Pure Cut current. Use the PSO trimmer to set the indicated HF output power to
200 W (707 mA). The green LED PR must light up during this process.
208
V 5.0
Check the screw connection at both ends of the optical fiber for tightness. The screws may
only be finger-tightened; do not use tools!
Move jumper X6 next to the sender (transmitter) of the fiber-optic transmission link on the
monopolar board to position 2-3 (set jumper to upper position). The yellow LED below the
optical transmitter on the monopolar board, as well as the yellow LED FR on the power
manager board, must come on as a result.
When rotating trimmer DCM clockwise, the LED FR remains bright; when rotating it counterclockwise, the LED grows darker. Adjust trimmer DCM to a point where the FR LED just
starts growing darker.
Activate monopolar cutting with the previous Pure Cut setting (200 W). Rotate trimmer
DCM counterclockwise until the power meter indicates HF power, then rotate trimmer DCM
clockwise until the HF output power reading just reaches zero.
Reset jumper X6 next to the fiber-optic transmitter on the monopolar board to position 1-2
(move jumper back to lower position).
If it is not possible to set the trimmer so that the HF output power can be adjusted all the way
down to zero, check the optical fiber for proper connection. It is likely that the fiber has not
been fully inserted into the screw connection on one side. If mounted correctly, the fiber end
penetrates into the connection for approx. 17 mm. And if the HF unit does not deliver any HF
output power while the yellow LED FR lights up continuously, you likely forgot to re-set jumper
X6 on the monopolar board.
10.2.2
From HW03 onwards, the HF output voltage for most monopolar currents with the generator
at no-load is no longer limited by the internal voltage of the regulator USO, but by the new
HF output voltage regulator located on the monopolar board (identifiable by the yellow LED
DCM). To set USO, the regulator on the monopolar board therefore must first be disabled. As a
result, the checking and adjusting procedure differs a little from that applicable to power manager boards I and II:
Disconnect the optical fiber from the monopolar board. This ensures that the output voltage
regulator cannot be activated.
Connect voltmeter to measuring points VDC and GND on the main board.
V 5.0

Using the test cable, connect HF power meter to HF unit, then set resistance to 400

Activate Pure Cut current without load. Use trimmer USO on the power manager board to set
the direct voltage to +140 V at VDC. The red LED USO must light up during this process.
If the voltage deviates considerably from +140 V, check the test setup and the settings on the
portable testing set as well as on the unit for correctness.

The power regulator is always active when the generator operates within the normal range of

(depending on the type of current). If active, this is indicated by the green LED PR lighting up
on the power manager board. Checking and adjusting is done in the same way as for power
manager boards I and II:
Close load circuit of the HF power meter already connected (set power meter to continuous operation and ON).
Activate Pure Cut current. Use trimmer PSO to adjust the indicated HF output power to
200 W (707 mA). The green LED PSO must light up during this process.

V 5.0
Reconnect the optical fiber to the monopolar board, inserting it fully (17 mm) into the
connector, then finger-tighten screw. Do not use a tool!
Select Care Coag on ME402 and set it to an output power of 0. The yellow LED DCR located on the monopolar board only faintly glowing to this point must now light up together with the yellow LED DCM on the power manager board.
When rotating the DCM trimmer clockwise, the DCM LED remains bright; when rotating
the trimmer counterclockwise, it grows darker. Adjust trimmer DCM to the point that the
LED DCM just starts growing darker when rotating the trimmer counterclockwise.
Set power meter to 100 . Activate monopolar coagulation, leaving Care Coag set to 0.
Rotate trimmer DCM counterclockwise until the power meter indicates a low HF power level, then rotate trimmer DCM clockwise until the HF output power displayed just reaches zero. The VDC voltage will drop below 1 V during this process.
Thereafter, set Care Coag higher than 0 to ensure that HF power is available for
subsequent measurements!
If it is not possible to adjust the trimmer so that the HF power can be regulated down to
zero, a likely cause is that the optical fiber has not been fully inserted into the screw connection on one side. If mounted correctly, the fiber end extends into the connector for approx. 17 mm.
From HW06, the bipolar board also features regulators that are connected to a second fiberoptic receiver using a second optical fiber. To adjust this second receiver, proceed as follows:
Select the Micro Coag bipolar current on the ME402 and set its output power to 0. This causes the yellow LED BRDC on the bipolar board and the yellow LED DCB on the power manager
board to light up.
When rotating trimmer DCB clockwise, the DCB LED remains bright; when rotating the
trimmer counterclockwise, it grows darker. Adjust trimmer DCB to the point that the DCB
LED just starts growing darker when rotating the trimmer counterclockwise.
Activate the Micro Coag current and rotate trimmer DCB first counterclockwise until a
VDC voltage of approx. 8 V is displayed, then rotate the trimmer clockwise until the
VDC voltage drops just below 1 V.
Thereafter, set Micro Coag higher than 0 to ensure that HF power is available for
subsequent measurements!

When replacing the monopolar board, the setting of the fiber-optic transmission link (optical
link) must be checked and adjusted if necessary. Preadjustment is not possible in this case, as
the efficiency of both the optical transmitter and the sensitivity of the receiver are subject to
high manufacturing tolerances, which causes high spread in the coupling of the two components. The neutral electrode monitor, in contrast, has been factory-preset, so the setting
usually needs to be checked for correctness only.
The following tools and working aids are needed for this task:
Voltmeter
Adjusting screwdriver
From monopolar board III: HF power meter (e.g. KLS Martin EPM3). This instrument should
at least allow setting the following resistances: 50 , 100 , 300 , 400 and 600 .

power meter with shorted jack plug, and laboratory cable with 4mm plugs for connecting

however, the optical link must be readjusted following the procedure described in
section 10.2.1.
To check the board setting, connect a voltmeter to the measuring points NEI and GND located
on the upper edge of the monopolar board. GND of the monopolar board is not connected
to GND of the main board!

With the monitoring circuit open (no NE connected), a voltage of 4.3 V 0.1 V must be
present at NEI. Use trimmer NE to adjust the voltage to 4.3 V.
When inserting a 270 test plug, the NE indicator slide displayed on the screen must at
least partially move into the yellow field. (It may be necessary to enable the slide function first in the Setup menu, item NE.)
When inserting a shorting plug (monopolar test lead), the NE indicator must disappear
from the screen and the green non-split NE symbol must de displayed instead.
If the slide of the NE indicator moves unsteadily to and fro, this may be caused by a loose
contact in the NE monitoring circuit (e.g., the contact force of the NE socket may be insufficient). If the fault cannot be corrected by adjusting the contact spring, the socket must be replaced.

Setting the Monopolar Boards III (from HW03) and IV (from HW06)
When removing or replacing this module, the setting (transfer characteristic) of the optical link
and from HW04 upwards the operating point of the HF output voltage regulator must be
checked for correctness. Spare boards are delivered with the NE monitor preset, so no readjustment is necessary in this case.
Setting the operating point of the voltage regulator (for HW04 or higher) should obviously be
done after the transfer characteristic of the optical link has been checked/adjusted according
to section 10.2.2. Proceed as follows:
Select Care Cut current at output M1 and set it to 1 (minimum). Set the HF power meter
to 600 .
Activate Care Cut at output M1 and set trimmer UA so that the HF output current just
reaches its minimum level of approx. 35 mA. The red LED ACR (monopolar board) and
the yellow LED DCM (power manager board III) must light up during this process.

Each of the two bipolar HF outputs has a monitor that measures impedance between the two
electrodes. The results are used as inputs from which the main controller calculates a criterion
for switching off the HF current (Auto Stop function) or activating the HF current (Auto Start,
Auto Start/Stop functions). Replacement (spare part) boards are delivered with these monitors
preset, so no readjustment is necessary.
Up to and including HW05, only the output B2 incorporates an instrument code recognition
function; from HW06, both bipolar outputs (B1 and B2) have this capability. The corresponding
operating points are also preset on spare boards and need not be adjusted.
To check the settings, the following tools and working aids are required:

After repairs and as part of the periodic safety checks, it is mandatory to check the HF output
power for a number of representative types of current. This requires an HF power meter (e.g.
KLS Martin EPM3). This instrument should allow setting at least the following resistances:
50 , 100 , 200 , 300 , 400 and 600 . The reference values to be used for comparison are the values measured initially as indicated in the Works Test Report (supplied with the
unit). The measured HF output power values should not deviate by more than 20% both from
these reference values and from the specified nominal output values.
Connect the HF power meter to socket M1 (using a handle) and to the NE socket. Set power meter to 400 . Select the Pure Cut current for M1 and assign both the yellow and the
blue pedal to M1.
Set an output power of 10 W and activate the current. Check the reading on the power
meter.
Set an output power of 100 W and activate the current. Check the reading on the power
meter.
Set an output power of 350 W and activate the current. Check the reading on the power
meter.
Select the Blend Cut current, set an output power of 320 W and activate the current. Check
the reading on the power meter.
Select the Desiccation current and set an output power of 120 W. Set the power meter to
100 . Activate the current, then check the reading on the power meter.
Attention: In HW00 and HW01 units, this value may have changed more than other values due to software update.
Select the Contact Coag current and set an output power of 250 W. Set the power meter to
100 . Activate the current and check the reading on the power meter.
Select the Forced Coag current and set an output power of 150 W. Set the power meter to
300 . Activate the current and check the reading on the power meter.
For HW00 and HW01 units, select the Macro Spray current and set an output power of
150 W. Set the power meter to 1200 . For HW02 and higher-version units, use the Spray
Coag current and 600 . Activate the current and check the reading on the power meter.
Thereafter, activate the current and slowly but steadily reduce the output power down to
2 W, thereby verifying the correspondingly steady change that should take place in the
value displayed on the power meter. Pay attention to internal (transient) disturbances!

If the deviation is high in HW00 and HW01 units for this operating mode (P < 120 W or P >
180 W), you can switch to an alternative table via the Setup menu item (select Service
and enter the service access code 2020) as described in section 4.1.5. There are three
tables available (SPR0, SPR1, and SPR2), with SPR0 representing the basic (default) setting. If SPR0 provides insufficient power, you should switch to SPR1. If this still gives you
less than 120 W, select SPR2. As a rule, you should select the table that is best suited for
compliance with the specified tolerance range of 120180 W. Such deviations are caused
by a weakness in the driving circuit of the HF generator, which can be corrected by a hardware change if switch-over to another table will not help.
Connect the monopolar handle to output M2, then assign the blue pedal to M2 and select
the Macro Spray current for this output, setting an output power of 150 W. Activate the
current and check the reading on the power meter. The value displayed on the power meter should be identical to the M1 value, with deviation limited to 1 W at a maximum.
Connect the B1 bipolar output to the HF power meter using the bipolar test cable (for the
international socket module, use laboratory cables; for the Erbe e module, use an adapter). Select Bipol Pure Cut at B1 and assign the yellow pedal, then select 300 on the
power meter. Set output power to 1 W and activate the current. Check the reading on the
power meter.
Set output power to 120 W and activate the current. Check the reading on the power meter.
Select Micro Coag at B1 and assign the blue pedal. Attention: A software change has
occurred here! For software versions up to 0.331b (only used in HW00 and HW01), 200
are used for adjustment; from software version 1.336, the resistance value has been reduced to 50 . Therefore, be aware that the adjustment value to be used is no longer identical with the one specified in the Works Test Record! Set output power to 50 W and activate the current. Check the reading on the power meter. The specified tolerance limit of
20% (regarding both the nominal value and the reference value measured initially) must
be complied with in either case (200 and 50 ).
Select Macro Coag at B1, then select 50 on the power meter. Set output power to 120 W
and activate the current. Check the reading on the power meter.
If the measured values deviate significantly from the values measured initially, the unit is
probably defective. For safety reasons, the unit must be withdrawn from use and the cause of
the malfunction investigated and removed before it may be clinically used again.
10.6
After repairs and as part of the periodic safety checks, it is mandatory to check the highfrequency leakage currents for compliance with the values measured initially (tolerance range:
20%) as well as with the specified limits.
Set HF power meter to 200 and connect one side to the ground conductor. Select Super
Blend 250 W and Macro Spray/Air Beam 150 W for M1 und M2, respectively.

As prescribed by IEC/EN 62353, the following safety checks and tests must be performed on
the unit after repairs, and periodically at least every 24 months, by qualified persons who have
the necessary training, knowledge and practical experience to carry out such work properly,
responsibly and independently. If the ME402 is used in conjunction with an MB402 maxium
Beamer, then the Beamer must be checked as well.
A: Visual inspection and functional checks
1. Rating plate and label legibility: All information provided on the rating plates of the maxium and (if applicable) the maxium Beamer must be clearly legible. The same applies to
the rear-side labels, especially the nominal value information for the device fuses (T6.3A)
located in the units power supply socket. On the MB402 (Beamer), the information on the
permitted pressure range provided next to the gas inlet must be clearly legible.
2. A copy of the Operating Instructions must be available for the current version of the system. Updated manuals can be obtained through the Gebrder Martin Service Center.
3. Enter the software version number (V X.XXX) as indicated on the initial screen displayed
upon switching on the unit in the Test Record sheet. Pay attention to potential error messages during the initial self-test.
4. Check both screen illumination tubes or proper functioning (uniform illumination of the
screen). Check symbols and pictograms for clarity and correct color rendition (blue and
yellow).
5. Visual inspection of all connectors: Check the HF connecting sockets M1, M2, B1 and B2
plus the NE socket for potential damage or defects. On the maxiums rear panel, check
the footswitch sockets, the equipotential bonding pin and the maxium Beamer connecting
socket for potential damage and firm seat. Disconnect the power cord from the units power supply socket and check the socket for potential damage and firm seat. Besides, remove
the line fuses from the connector socket assembly and verify the fuse rating for correctness
(T6.3 A, i.e. slow-blow). On the rear panel of the maxium Beamer, check the socket for
the connecting cable to the maxium unit for potential damage and firm seat. Check the
gas inlet, decompression pin and equipotential bonding pin for firm seat. On the Beamers
front panel, check the gas outlet for potential damage and firm seat.
6. As far as possible, check the cables of all reusable accessories used with the unit(s) for
insulation and plug damage.
7. With the unit turned on, check the sealed buttons (membrane switches) on the front panel
of the maxium for proper functioning. Upon operating a channel selector button, the red
frame must jump to the channels Power field if the channel has already been selected, or
this action selects the channel in the first place. Check all eight channel selector buttons.
Also, verify that upon pressing the MENU button, the (bar-type) selection cursor is displayed at the top of the list on the right side of the display (first item highlighted).
8. Functional check of the rotary switch and its backlighting system: Upon selecting a cutting
channel, the backlight must be yellow, and if you select a coagulation channel, the backlight must be blue. Operating the MENU button must change the color of the backlight ring
to white. Rotate the switch to verify that the power value indicated for the selected channel
