WARNING
Failure to perform regular and preventive
maintenance inspections may result in improper
instrument operation.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Perform regular and preventive maintenance
inspections to ensure that the Auto-ID
Module remains in good operating condition.
• Performregularinspectionsbeforeeach
use.
• Performpreventivemaintenance
inspections once a year.
Use the applicable maintenance software to
check in, upgrade/repair, diagnose, calibrate
and perform preventive maintenance.
These requirements and guidelines are
intended to complement the intent of
the Joint Commission on Accreditation
of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
requirements.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the principles of
operation for the Auto-ID Module.
Refer to the PC Unit/Pump Module Technical
Service Manual for Alaris®System principles
of operation.
4.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Circuit boards are not field repairable and
must be returned to a CareFusion Service
Center for repair.
4.2.1 LED (READY Indicator)
A green LED on the front panel lights
to confirm that the camera assembly
(embedded scanner) or handheld scanner is
ready to scan.
4.2.2 Keypad
The keypad includes the SCAN/CANCEL
key. Pressing once begins scanning, and
pressing during scanning cancels the scan.
4.2.3 Camera Assembly
The Camera Assembly reads bar codes
(including linear and two-dimensional bar
code formats) using technology similar to
digital cameras. Bar code readers use
high-intensity LEDs to illuminate the bar code
image, allowing the code to be scanned
regardless of ambient light conditions.
The Camera Assembly scans the bar code,
then sends signals to decoding circuitry on
the Logic Board.

Technical Service Manual
4.2.4 Handheld Scanner Connection
CareFusion offers a handheld scanner
that can be connected to the front panel of
the Auto-ID Module. The Auto-ID Module
is designed for use only with handheld
scanners supplied by CareFusion.
4.2.5 Speaker
The speaker provides audible confirmation of
key presses and successful scans.
4.2.6 Logic Board
The Logic Board interfaces all of the Auto-ID
Module components. Decoding circuitry on
the Logic Board recognizes the bar code
symbology, analyzes the content of the
scanned code, and converts the data to a
traditional data format.
The Logic Board receives its power from the
PC Unit via the IUI Board. The Logic Board
converts power to internal supply voltages
and monitors supply voltages during
operation.
A watchdog timer circuit is designed to put
the Auto-ID Module into a safe state if the
Logic Board main processor fails.
4.2.7 IUI Board
The IUI Board contains IUI circuitry that
allows it to communicate with the PC Unit.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes how to disassemble
and reassemble the Auto-ID Module.
The circuit boards and surface mount
devices are not field repairable. Return
circuit boards to an authorized CareFusion
Service Center for repair. Attempting circuit
board repairs voids all warranties.
For replacement part information, see the
"Illustrated Parts Breakdown" chapter.
Following any level of maintenance, perform
the applicable tests, as identified in the
"Level of Testing Guidelines" table.
Due to product changes over time,
components/assemblies illustrated in this
chapter may differ from the instrument being
serviced.
5.2 DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
The disassembly procedures in this chapter
are presented in the most efficient sequence.
To reassemble, perform the steps in reverse
order.
Before adhering gaskets and labels to the
instrument, clean the surface with a cotton
swab or soft cloth lightly dampened with 70%
Isopropyl Alcohol.
WARNING
Disconnect the Auto-ID Module from the Alaris®
System prior to performing maintenance.
The instrument case should only be opened
by qualified personnel using proper grounding
techniques.
CAUTION
CMOS devices are sensitive to static electrical
charges and may be damaged during repair if the
repair activity is not performed in an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protected environment using
approved ESD protective procedures, including
personnel grounding.
CAUTION
To avoid the risk of an electrical hazard or
damage to the instrument circuitry, do not spray
fluids directly onto the instrument or allow fluids to
enter the instrument.
