2- THEORY of OPERATION

Vectra Pro

2.1 Overview
The Vectra series electrotherapy products are comprised of several PC board assemblies housed within a common
enclosure. These assemblies each support a distinct function in the product. The basic elements are User Interface,
Control Board, Stim Generation Board, Ultrasound Board, Ultrasound Applicator, and Power Supply Circuits.
See Figure 2.1 below.

FIGURE 2.1
2.2 Power Supply Circuits
A universal input power supply provides all parts of the system with 12 volts DC. The supply is connected to the mains
at all times when the cord is attached. The power switches on the top of the unit, switch the 12V output of the power
supply to the different components in the system by way of the Power Distribution Board. The 12V supply is regulated
locally at each PC board as required.
2.3 Control Board
The Control Board serves just as its name implies. It controls the operation of the stim boards, ultrasound boards, user
interface, and accessories. The control board communicates to the stim boards and ultrasound board through a
proprietary 8-bit parallel bus. The control board drives the display. The control board reads the touch screen or menu
buttons. The control board also reads the amplitude and contrast controls. The control board manages the ZIP drive and
infrared printer port. The control board through the power supply distribution board operates the gel warmer. Sound
output is generated by the control board and routed to an internal speaker or alternately to external speakers. The
control board reads the patient switch or manual stim switch.

2- THEORY of OPERATION

Vectra Pro

2.4 Stim Generation Board


The stim board creates all muscle stimulation output. Communications to the stim board is via an 8-bit data bus
and a dual-port RAM. A processor on the stim board acts on messages passed to it by the control board to set up
waveforms and adjust output amplitude. Information can likewise be passed from the stim board back to the control
board for monitoring current, GSR mode levels, etc. If the stim board does not respond as expected to a command
from the control board, output is stopped and an error message is generated.
2.5 Ultrasound Board and Applicator
The ultrasound board generates the 1 or 3.3 MHz output to drive the ultrasound applicator. The ultrasound board
is accessed much like an I/O port by the control board. It can provide current and voltage information about the
ultrasound output of the board. The calibration data for the applicator is passed through the ultrasound board from
the applicator up to the control board. By storing the calibration data in the applicator there is no calibration
necessary for the ultrasound board and any calibrated Chattanooga Group, Inc. compatible applicator can be
attached and operated to provide accurate output.
2.6 User Interface and Accessories
The LCD or EL display panel provides the operator visible feedback in the way of menu choices. Pressing the
touchscreen or menu buttons makes selections from the menus. The control board interprets these user inputs and
responds accordingly. Audible feedback is given as well for events such as keypresses and end of treatment.
The control board accesses the ZIP drive via an IDE interface. Treatment presets can be exported and imported
using the disks, as well as giving patients pre-treatment information or the user in-service instruction. The 5 volts
necessary to operate the drive is generated on the power supply distribution board.
The infrared printer port works exclusively with the Jeteye infrared to printer interface unit. This allows printing
treatment information to any type of printer the user might have. Due to the large number of printers available,
direct printing to infrared-capable printers is not supported.

5.31 Ultrasound Board Amplifier Circuit Tests


A. Pulse Output Generation Test
1. Set Scope;
a) Time- 500ns, Channel- 2.0V, Trigger- DC
b) Reference Scope to DC Ground.
2. Check pins 5 and 7 of U15 (see A on schematic) for
presence of square wave. See Figure 5.41.
NOTE:
Perform step 2 at 1MHz and 3.3MHz settings @ 100% Duty
Cycle.
3. Absence of square wave at any or all of the check
points in step 2 indicate bad Ultrasound Board.
Replace with Part Number 79291D.
B. Head Detect Voltage Test
Perform this test with all available Ultrasound Applicators
available for the unit being tested (2cm2, 5cm2, 10cm2). This will
aid in isolating bad board or bad Ultrasound Applicator.
1. Plug in the Ultrasound Applicator.
2. Using a Digital Multimeter, check the voltage at #1 and
#2 of L13. See B on schematic. See Figure 5.42 for
voltage specifications.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with all other available
Ultrasound Applicators for unit being tested.
4. If multimeter reads 5VDC, plug in a known good
Ultrasound Applicator and re-test. If voltage is in spec
per Figure 5.42, then Applicator is bad. If voltage reads
5VDC with known good Applicator, then Ultrasound
Board is bad. Replace board with Part Number
79291D.
NOTE:
See Section 6 for Removal & Replacement procedures.
