1-2. Feature
The tube sealer model SE250 is a heavy-duty tube sealer for bench-top use. It provideseffective sealing of blood bag tubing in about one second. The machine generates
strong high-frequency power for a melting process called dielectric heating. When
blood bag tubing is placed into the sealing head, heat is generated between the
electrodes very quickly, so the tubing melts in about one second and then cools to form
a seal.
When the user places tubing into the sealing jaw, the sealing process is triggered. An
electrode comes out to press the tubing and, at the same time, heat is applied to the
tubing. After the tubing melts, the electrode retracts automatically. If a thicker or bigger
tubing is used, the sealing time may be longer. Even if a seal is not made, for safety, theelectrode will return to its original position automatically, in about 3 seconds from the
start.
An adjustment screw is located in the sealing head unit. The thickness of the seal can be
adjusted by turning the adjustment screw.
The sealing head area should be kept clean and dry always. If the sealing head becomes
wet or dirty, an arc may appear during the sealing process. To make cleaning easier, the
protector on the sealing head can be disassembled and reassembled without using any
tools. For safety reason, when the protector is removed from the sealing head, the
machine doesnt operate. The protector should be mounted in place on the sealing headafter cleaning.
A splashguard, made of a piece of transparent plastic sheet, is prepared on the top of the
sealing head.
A set of the machine includes the following items:
Main unit (1)
Power cord (1)
User's manual (1)
Spare fuses (2)Spare splashguards (5)

4-3. Thickness Adjustment
Users can adjust the thickness of seals by simply turning the adjustment screw on the
sealing head. Turn the screw slowly and check adjustments often. Slight turns of the
screw can make significant changes in the seal.
(1) Loosen the screw under the protector and remove the protector.
(2) With a thin flat-tip screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw located to the left of the
sealing head.
Turn it clockwise to make the seal thicker and narrower.
(Sealing time will take shorter.)
Turn it counter-clockwise to make the seal thinner and wider.(Sealing time will take longer.)
[Note] One full turn can change the thickness as much as 0.5 mm.
(3) Replace the protector and make a few seals to check the thickness and adjust
again as required.
(4) When the tubing seal thickness and width is satisfactory, replace the protector and
fasten the protector screw.

5-4. Sealing Time Adjustment
Sealing time varies by such factors as RF power, tube thickness, electrode temperature,room temperature, number of seals made consecutively, etc.
As explained in Section 3-2, sealing time starts when the trigger lever is depressed by
a tube inserted to be sealed, and ends when the tube melts then moving electrode is
pushed completely. Thinner tube or warmer electrode takes less sealing time.
If a tube is too thick or made of non-thermoplastic material, the electrode cannot be
pushed outward. But RF generation continues.
For safety reason, sealing time ends by itself automatically after certain time elapsed.
The maximum sealing time is fixed by sealing time gate generated in Control board.0.8 - 1.2 seconds is a nominal sealing time for a tube in standard size in normal room
temperature. "Sealing time gate" is fixed at about 3 seconds.
(1) Sealing time gate adjustment ;
Although it is not recommended, sealing time gate can be varied by changing a fixed
resister R22 on the Control board when it's necessary to be done with any reason.
(2) Sealing time adjustment ;
As explained above, sealing time ends when the tube melts then sealing electrode is
pushed outward completely. A microswitch in the unit is pushed and it sends out a
"limit" signal to stop the ongoing sealing gate.The timing to press "limit" microswitch can be changed easily by turning a screw on
the front panel. This adjustment changes thickness of sealed points.
Refer to Section 4-3.
Experiments show that best adjustment of limit-switch screw position is that the switch
would be activated 0.2 - 0.4 mm before moving electrode contacting to opposite metal
electrode.
Use thickness gauges of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm thick to calibrate the point.
Adjust the screw till following is fulfilled ;
When 0.2 mm gauge is inserted to push trigger lever, electrode moves toopposite metal electrode but returns immediately. This means limit-switch is
activated.
When 0.4 mm gauge is inserted to push trigger lever, electrode moves to
opposite metal electrode and holds the gauge for about 3 seconds, then returns.
This means limit-switch is not activated.
Plain sheets of paper can be used as a simple thickness gauge as thickness of a paper
sheet is about 0.1 mm.

5-5. RF Adjustment
Following procedures describe standard check procedures for the RF circuitry.Refer to [Figure 5-2] below for test set-up and [Figure 7-4] for board layout.
[Figure 5-2] RF Test Set-up
-
7/30/2019 Se250sm Ce
26/38
5 - 9
(1) Set up test equipment as per the [Figure 5-2].
(2) Set the 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 RF 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 RF board.
* CAUTION *
Minimum heat dissipation gears to be prepared shall be 100 watts.
Failure to prepare sufficient heatsink for RF 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 sealer power switch.
(6) Every time when you need to measure any characteristics of RF circuit fromfollowing paragraph (7), push trigger lever at sealing-head or make short-circuit
at control board between P2-pin4 and ground to trigger RF generation.
* CAUTION *
NEVER supply continuous power for more than ten seconds unless sufficient
heatsink are prepared.
(7) Watch power meter and spectrum analyzer. You should have more than 90 watts
when a 50-ohm dummy load is connected at 40.68 MHz.
If you would have no oscillation, turn transformer T1 slowly until oscillation starts.
Set T1 at mid point of the adjustable ranges where you have oscillation.
(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).
-
7/30/2019 Se250sm Ce

* NOTE 1 *
When a sealing-head is connected, power varies greatly according to electrode gapdistance and what is loaded in between sealing electrodes.
Best is to use a real tubing but it gives difficulty to take stable reading.
Using paper sheets of 1.0 mm thick will give similar reading with stability.
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 15 A
when a dummy load is connected. When a sealing-head is connected, maximum
current could be as high as 18 Amperes.
(9) If RF board would not function properly, really there is not much thing to do.
What you can do on the board is ;
a. Just examine the board by eyes to find any part is burnt or badly soldered.
b. Adjust transformer T1 as paragraph (7) above to get stable oscillation.
c. Touch to alter shapes of the coil L2 and L4 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 power off and disconnect test equipment.
5-6. Replacing Fuse
A fuse is used. It is contained in the fuse holder on rear panel of the machine.
Type : Fast-acting fuse (20 mm long, 5 mm diameter, circular tube type)
Rating :
Power source voltage Fuse amperage
100-120 VAC 3 Amps
220-240 VAC 2 Amps
Replacement procedure:
(1) Turn the power switch off.
(2) Remove power cord from wall outlet and cord inlet on rear panel.
(3) With a flat-tip screw, open the fuse holder cap on rear panel by turning it counter-
clockwise.
(4) Replace the blown fuse with a new one with the same amperage.

(5) Close fuse holder cap securely.
(6) Connect power cord.
(7) Turn the power switch on and test sealer.
5-7. Cleaning Sealing-Head
The sealing head, electrodes and trigger lever can easily be stained by dust, spilled or
leaked blood or blood components. FREQUENT CLEANING WILL OFFER YOU
THE BEST LONG TERM RESULTS. Never put sharp objects or metal objects on
sealing head electrodes as they can easily be marred.
For proper cleaning, use a dry cloth or a cloth dampened with water. A mild detergent
may be used. Thoroughly dry the sealing head area before applying power. If thesealing head is wet when RF energy is applied, an arc may appear.
Follow the decontamination procedure of your facility when a blood spill occurs.
Avoid spraying liquids on the sealing head.
Cleaning procedure:
(1) Turn power switch off.(2) Loosen the screw under the protector and remove the protector.(3) Clean the sealing head and trigger lever carefully as described above.Dry the sealing head thoroughly.(4) Loosen the screw above the splashguard and clean it, or dispose of it and use a
new one.
(5) Reassemble the protector and protector screw.(6) If you have used water, detergent or decontamination liquid, wait for a few
minutes to allow for thorough drying.
(7) Turn power switch on. The machine is ready to use.(8) Test sealer.
