3. System Description

3-1. General

The Tube Sealer SE640 consists of main unit, hand unit, battery pack, AC power
adapter and the carrying bag. Refer to [Figure 6-1] Wiring diagram to find system
configuration.

Main unit comprises threer PCB assemblies, display lamps and the power switch.
Battery pack is inserted in the compartment from the rear side of the main unit.
Hand unit houses a trigger switch, sealing electrodes and the loading coil.

Major assemblies in the main unit are;

. Main Board
. Filter Board
. LED Board

Following paragraphs describe theory and functions of each assembly in detail.

3-1
3-2. Main Board

Main Board largely comprises RF section and control section, and a trigger signal
is received from the Hand Unit through the coaxial cable.

[Figure 3-1] Main Board Functional Block Diagram

RF SECTION

RF section consists of an oscillator, drive amplifier stages, power amplifier, and filter
networks.

(1) Oscillator
X1 is a crystal oscillator.
It generates a stable RF signal when control command is applied.

(2) Drive amplifier stage

RF signal is amplified at drive amplifiers Q4 and Q1, and then fed to power
amplifier. It works when control command is applied.

(3) Power amplifier

Q2 and Q3 consist of a push-pull power amplifier.
Amplified RF power is supplied to the sealing-head through filters and impedance
transformer.

3-2
(4) Notch filter network
L8 and C21 are filtering harmonic spurious frequency components.
With the Notch filter and harmonic filter networks in the Filter Board Ass’y,
harmonic frequency spectra other than 40.680 MHz are all suppressed to below
the limit level.
(5) Trigger filter network
L9 and C22 consist of a low-pass filter network.
Trigger signal is fed through this network.

CONTROL SECTION
Control section consists of a CPU, trigger network, RF control driver, RF signal
detector, temperature limit circuit, low battery, and battery charging controller, etc.
(1) Trigger network ;
When the trigger lever is depressed at sealing gun unit, a contact is made at a
micro- switch in the gun grip. A trigger signal is coming through the trigger
filter(L9 and C22), and fed to the non-inverting input of the comparator U7-D
which makes CPU recognize the trigger input.
(2) RF Control Driver
U7-A, Q9 and Q6 comprise the RF control driver circuit.
When a trigger is received, CPU enables the RF circuit, and turns on the seal
indication lamp. During while it determines when to finish sealing by monitoring
the RF_STS signal. And then CPU disables RF transmission by RF control driver.
(3) Temperature Limit Circuit
U8-A and U8-B comprise the temperature limit circuit.
When the temperature of the temperature sensor is over 75°C, CPU stops
RF transmission.
(4) Low Battery Detector
U7(LM339) is a low battery detector. During sealing, if the battery output voltage is
lower than 9.8 VDC, CPU turns on the low battery indication lamp.
(5) Battery Charging Controller
U1, U2, U3, Q7 and Q8 comprise the battery charging controller.
When the low battery LED lamp turns on, take out the RF coaxial cable, and plug in
the charger cable connector into the BNC connector on the front panel. 18VDC of
charging voltage is supplied to U1 constant current controller, and constant current
is flowing into the battery through D4. U3 charging controller manages whole
charging process by detecting the battery temperature, battery voltage level, and
peak voltage, and controls the charging indication lamp.

3-3
3-3. Filter Board

A band-rejection filter and a low-pass filter are prepared on the Filter board assembly.
Both filter stages suppress harmonic noise frequencies.

3-4. Hand Unit

Hand unit comprises a matching board ass’y, a pair of sealing electrodes, an indicator
lamp and a trigger switch.

[Figure 3-2] Hand Unit Functional Block Diagram

(1) Matching Board

On the matching board is an impedance transformer, or called loading coil.
It matches RF board impedance to sealing-head impedance.
(2) Trigger switch ;
When trigger lever is depressed, it pushes a micro-switch to make a contact.
This signal goes to the main board and triggers RF power generation process.
(3) Sealing electrodes ;
Sealing clamp consists of a part of sealing electrode and is grounded.

(3) Pull the trigger lever. Watch that green light turns on at sealing head.
(4) After green light turns off, wait for a while (approximately one second or more),
and then release the lever.
(5) Remove tubing and inspect it.

4-1
4-3. Recharging the Battery

When to recharge the battery

The LOW BATTERY lamp indicates the battery charge level stored in the battery pack.
For the best operation, recharge the battery pack when the low battery indication lamp is
lighting. The machine does not work during recharging. The charger unit should be
removed from the charging jack in order that the machine can work.
Recharging procedure
(1) Plug the DC power adaptor plug into the BNC connector on the front panel of the
main unit. The CHARGING BATTERY lamp turns on and starts recharging.

(2) As charging scheme is a controlled fast charging, recharging stops when the battery
pack gets full charged. The yellow CHARGING BATTERY lamp starts blinking.
The maximum recharging time could be up to 6 hours if the battery pack was
completely exhausted. During recharging time, the hand sealing unit cannot be
connected at the connector, so the machine cannot work.
* Recharging time is within 6 hours, but first recharging may take longer.
* Battery will not be overcharged or damaged even if left for longer time.

When to replace the battery

Battery packs are consumables. Battery pack should be replaced with a new pack after the
machine has been used for some period. Battery manufacturers usually guarantee cells for
3 to 6 months only, but some field service reports show that it can go for a year or more,
sometimes up to three years. Replace the battery pack if any of the following case
happens:
(1) If no SEAL lamp illuminates when the power switch is turned on, recharge it once. If
no lamp is still turned on, the battery pack may have been damaged, or the machine
may have some trouble. Either replace the battery pack and try again, or ask service.
(2) If the number of seals made with one cycle of full charging is significantly reduced,
e.g. below half of the number with a new battery pack, the battery pack may have been
degraded too much. Replace the battery with a new pack. Contact your distributor for
spare packs.
Refer to Section 5-6 for more information on battery replacement.

5-4. RF Adjustment

Following procedures describe standard check procedures for the RF circuitry.

Refer to [Figure 5-2] below for test set-up and [Figure 7-2] for board layout.

(1) Set up test equipment referring to the [Figure 5-2].

(2) Set DC power supply at 12 volts.

Be sure to set a current-limit of the power supply at 20 amperes.

* CAUTION *
Failure to set current-limiter may cause RF transistors blown-up.

(3) If following tests are to be done with Main board assembly taken out from its
original location, prepare sufficient heat sinks and a cooling fan to avoid excess
temperature rise at transistors and transformers on Main board.
* CAUTION *
Minimum heat dissipation gears to be prepared shall be 100 watts.
Failure to prepare sufficient heatsink for Main board assembly may cause the RF
transistors blown-up.

(4) Set RF power meter, attenuator and spectrum analyzer at proper ranges to check
40.68 MHz power of 150 watts maximum.

(5) Turn on the sealer power switch.

(6) Every time when you need to measure any characteristics of RF circuit from
following paragraph (7), push trigger lever at sealing-gun or make short-circuit
at Main board to trigger RF generation.

5-8
 * CAUTION *
NEVER supply continuous power for more than ten seconds unless sufficient
heatsink are prepared.

(7) Watch the power meter and spectrum analyzer. You should have more than rated
power when a 50-ohm dummy load is connected at 40.68 MHz.

(8) Read power meter.

Be sure to read effective power when a sealing gun unit is connected as RF load.
Effective power is calculated as (forward power) - (reverse power).
* NOTE 1 *
Power varies greatly according to electrode gap distance and what is loaded in
between sealing electrodes. Best is to use a real tube but it gives difficulty to take
stable reading. Using paper sheets of 1.0 mm thick will give similar reading.
It would be good if effective power would be not less than 30 watts.
* NOTE 2 *
Watch the ammeter to read supply current. Normal current will be less than 15A
when a dummy load is connected. When a sealing-head is connected, maximum
current could be as high as 18 amperes.

(9) If Main board would not function properly, really there is not much thing to do.
What you can do on the board is ;
a. Just inspect the board by eyes to find any part is burnt or badly soldered.
b. Touch to alter shapes of the coils to change power level a little.
* NOTE 3 *
Even if a drive amplifier or a power amplifier transistor or a transformer is bad,
oscillation may not exist. So a transistor or a transformer should be determined
to be replaced only by checking the component individually by some method of
direct measurement.

(10) Turn powers off and disconnect the test equipment.

5-9
 5-5. Cleaning Hand Unit

The sealing head and clamp can easily be stained by dust or liquid. Frequent cleaning
will offer you the best long-term results.
For proper cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the units.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene or strong detergent. Thoroughly dry the sealing head
area before applying power. If the sealing head is wet when RF energy is applied, an
arc may appear. Follow the decontamination procedure of your facility as necessary.
Avoid spraying liquids in the sealing clamp or sealing head area.

5-6. Replacing the Battery Pack

Characteristics of the Battery Pack

SE640 is powered by a battery pack BN123A. It is a rechargeable battery specified as
"12V/4.5AH Ni-MH", which is the most powerful energy storage cell available today.
All rechargeable batteries wear out, so battery pack is a kind of consumables. Charge
capacity of a battery diminishes gradually with discharging and recharging. Moreover
at tube sealers, as the machines draw exceptionally high amount of battery current
during sealing, battery degradation rate is higher than any other battery-using devices.
Refer to the chart below;

The chart shows a performance degradation tendency of Ni-MH 12V/4.5AH battery

packs. The reason why it shows quite wide shaded area is that the Number of Sealing
varies with many factors, such as;
1) Material and diameter of tubing
2) Room temperature, tubing temperature, and temperature of the sealing head
3) Number of discharging/recharging cycles at the battery pack.

The chart data were made on the following condition;

1) PVC tubing of diameter 4.4 mm
2) Room temperature at 23 oC
3) Packs recharged 20 times per month.

5 - 12
 What the chart indicates are;
1) With a new battery pack, approximately 1100-1500 seals could be made.

All parts are identified with manufacturer's part numbers in Parts List.
Part location in units is found by the find number in [Figure 7-1] Exploded view, or in a
corresponding circuit board layout in [Figure 7-2] through [Figure 7-5].
Prefix "A" in the find number denotes that it is not a single component but an assembly,
and a lower-level parts list of which is presented at another place.
Order for a service part to distributor or manufacturer should be accompanied by its part
number, or a module designation number if it is an independent unit.
