18. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE SOFTWARE
When calibrating or verifying the calibration of the Pulsair the software has been designed to
show warning messages or graphs to give a indication that there is a problem with the Pulsair at
this stage of the procedure (as seen in fig 27)
FIG 27
Communication Link Error (as shown in fig 27) is an indication that the RS232
communication cable has not been connected between the Pulsair and calibration electronic unit,
or when switching on the Pulsair after being instructed by the software, has not taken place in the
time period requested.
FIG 28
The graph above - Puff Pressure Error (fig 28) indicates that there is no pressure seen by the
pressure transducer on calibration jig. This would suggest that there is a pressure problem from
pump (no air pressure!) or that there may be a connection problem with air pipes from air filter!
If the correct pump pressure is not set to 21psi this warning graph will then also appear.

18. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE SOFTWARE
The graph below (Pressure versus Time) shows how the Pulsair calibration software has tried to
set a Pulsair 3000 valve time out setting to a time period of 3.1ms (as shown in fig 29) this has
not been achieved as illustrated.
Once this has occurred the software is designed to go back above the point of failure to try and
reset the time period by reducing the time period s adjustment in step of.06ms.
This has also failed (as seen in fig 29).
At this stage the umbilical cord assembly must now be replaced, as the valve is faulty.
Refer to procedure 9 and 9A for replacement of umbilical cord assembly.
FIG 29
The graph reference (fig 30) Puff PressureWarning is an indication that the pump pressure has
fallen out of the recommended calibration specification pressure setting of 21psi.
The reason for this could be as follows! Low output pressure from pump assembly, Pump adaptor
faulty or requires internal cleaning. Air filter blocked requires replacing.
Leak in main air system (mother unit or hand unit)!

18. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE SOFTWARE
When fault of pressure problem has been identified and then rectified the Pulsair must be
recalibrated.
FIG 30
The graph reference (fig31 and 31A) INTERNAL PUFF WARNING and Run time error 6
overflow indicates that there is no internal pressure profile or a low signal from the hand unit s
P.C.B pressure transducer (as seen in fig 31 and 31A).
Run time error 6 overflow will only appear on Pulsair mod state 0-10 units
A faulty internal transducer, the air pipe not connected to transducer, blockage in air pipe
restrictor could be the cause of this problem.
!! Electrical power is not required for this operation and the mains supply plug
should be removed before starting next operation.
If found to be the transducer on the hand unit Printed circuit board, the printed circuit board must
be replaced
Reference procedure 12. Replacement of Mainframe and P.C.B assemblies.
After replacement the Pulsair must be recalibrated - refer to recalibration procedure 7.

18. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE SOFTWARE
In reference to (fig 32) Alignment of K value there is no reading shown in the K value box, only
0.000 in red.
This is a warning that the bulb is not functioning correctly, which may be caused by a loose or
broken bulb contact, a blown bulb or a faulty bulb
Verify the voltage to bulb from power supply (check 6-volt power line),
Verify the main frame optical system; check fig 24 or 24a of procedure15. (Setting of
mainframe mirror assembly).
Ensure transducer has not been left on calibration jig when setting K value, this would give a
similar fault

If the dongle security device is not connected into the back of laptop computer which is located
into printer port LP1, a Error message will appear (as per fig 33)

18. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE SOFTWARE
When calibrating a Pulsair you are requested to select an instrument type a Pulsair 3000
Pulsair EasyEye or a Pulsair 2000 mod state 11 or a Pulsair 2000 mod state 0 to10 (refer to
fig 6).
If the incorrect Pulsair type has been selected when calibrating a Pulsair 2000 mod state 0
to10 the Pulsair calibration software will allow you to calibrate the Pulsair until you are
requested to write calibration values to the eeprom.
The software has been designed to detect at this stage that there has been a selection error and
will reject your request to write calibration to the eeprom.
The same effect will be seen if trying to calibrate a Pulsair EasyEye/ 3000/2000 mod state 11
and selecting a 2000 mod state 0-10 instrument type
A warning will now be displayed as seen as Comms Error! Error writing values to eeprom
(fig 33A)
FIG 33A
To correct this error you must first click onto the OK on the Comms error box and then click
onto the continue box to return to the start of the calibration procedure 7.
You must then re-select the correct Pulsair to be calibrated and re-start the calibration.
The software will not be able to distinguish between the Pulsair EasyEye Pulsair 3000 and the
Pulsair 2000 mod state 11 after calibration if the incorrect Pulsair type has been selected
To verify that the correct type after calibration has been selected you must auto fire the
Pulsair on to the glass eye.
The Pulsair 3000 display will show a flashing Er and the 2000 mod state 11 will show a zero
and two flashing dots.
