I did some searching for Kortek schematics a while back and found a site in Australia that had a lot of information about the monitors. You may want to search the net to find this site so you could ask the guy who runs it. As it turns out, the schematics I was looking for were not available online, so Kortek actually emailed a vector drawing of it for us. So you might even ask the source if they can offer any help. Maybe they have a flow diagram you could use.
