EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance CARDIOLIFE

hello to everyone
I think that this kind of information is usefull to us (biomeds) and I dont think that anyone could use them in a wrong way. For instance, I have a similar model working fine but the same fault could occur any time. Reading this might help me one day on the spot. I dont think that exchangeing info and experiances 0f this kind on the net could harm anyone.
best regards
Milan

Alejandro,Sorry for the late reply.

1. Error 3 can be cleared by re-boot the unit.
a.Turn unit power OFF by the
i) Main power switch
ii) Energy Select Dial
Wait for 5 seconds
b. Turn the unit power ON by the
i) Main power switch
ii)Energy Select Dial
If the ERROR message is still present
c. Press the CHARGE Key while pressing CAL KEY. If the Error message is still present go to Step 2.

2. Its internal relay RLY 501 in High Voltage Board may be faulty.

Error 1,2,3 & 4 will appear if your unit is kept near X ray machine, generator or high speed motor so keep unit away from high noise level surroundings.

PM me if you required more assistance.

The only defib I ever saw charge when its charge button is pressed, then immediately "discharge" itself with no human touching was when a defib overcharged. The over voltage protection circuit cut in to prevent the capacitor from exploding.

You DEFINITELY need a service manual in a language you can entirely understand. Don't try anything in the meantime or you could land up being the first EBME website registered techie to die on the job, I kid you not.
