ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This Generator contains advanced circuitry which will maintain the selected
X-ray techniques during adverse line conditions. However, there is a limit to the
Generators ability to correct for inadequate line power.
To ensure proper operation:
•
Do not under size the Distribution Transformer (Line Powered
Generators). It is recommended that the secondary of Distribution
Transformer has a “Star” configuration.
•
Size feeder and ground wires per this document.
•
Ensure and maintain input mains voltage to specification. Ensure that
the ground resistance is lower than 10 Ω.
The power requirements given here (wire sizes, etc.) are the recommended
specification. With the exception of high current carrying conductors and
grounds, low voltage connections are made with preterminated wires.
The installation should comply with all the electrical
requirements indicated in this document. These
requirements should be upgraded if Local Standards were
more stringent.

LINE POWERED GENERATORS -- RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE
Correct sizing of the feeder wires is critical to proper Generator operation. Wire
size is dependent on the Generator power, the line voltage and the distance
from the Distribution Transformer to the Generator Cabinet. The maximum
voltage drop during an exposure must not exceed 5% of the nominal mains
value.
It is recommended that the Distribution Transformer (Hospital) used as power
source have at least a power of the 25% more than the maximum power of the
X-ray Generator.
Recommended wire sizing is indicated in Table 3-1. These lengths are
measured from the Distribution Transformer to the Room Electrical Cabinet
(room disconnect). From the Room Electrical Cabinet to the Generator
Cabinet 16 mm2 (AWG 6) may be used as long as that length does not
exceed 6 m (20 ft). The maximum wire size that can be connected to the
Generator Cabinet (Input Line Fuse Holder) is 35 mm2 (AWG 2).

This option must be requested on the customer order. For systems using an
Automatic Collimator, the X-ray exposure can be inhibited due to a Collimator
Error. This signal can be used only for one Automatic Collimator in the system,
special interconnection should be required when two Collimators are present.
Connect two wires from the Collimator to Terminal Block 4TS3-20 (Collimator
Error signal) and 3TS1-18 (or another GND in this Terminal Block). Collimator
Error signal goes (through the Interface Cable) from 4TS3-20 in the Generator
Cabinet to terminal J2-6 in Connector J2 of the ATP Console CPU Board. If the
system is not provided with Automatic Collimator connect 4TS3--20 to GND
(3TS1--18).

CPU Board before installing the Ion Chamber(s). The “AEC Adaptation Board”
(A3263-03) is also required. (Refer to the “Ion Chamber” Service Manuals).
Perform the following tasks in the order described:
Note
.
The Generator is only compatible with Ion Chambers that output
a positive ramp.
1.
If an Ion Chamber requires High Voltage (200 to 500 VDC), the Generator
must include an Interface Control Board (version A3009-09/12) that
supplies this voltage.
The Interface Control Board must have Jumpers from W3 to W8 in “A”
position. This High Voltage is supplied through Terminal Block 3TS1-39
“PT SPLY” of the Generator Cabinet and sent with a wire to TB1-9 of the
“AEC Adaptation Board”.

Connect each Ion Chamber cable to J1 (IC1), J2 (IC2), J3 (IC3) or J5
(IC4) of the “AEC Adaptation Board”. The code for the Ion Chamber cable
supplied by the Generator manufacturer is A3253--01.
Note
.
Same Ion Chamber types have to be installed in consecutive order
starting at J1 (IC1). In the case of using four Ion Chambers, IC3
and IC4 must have the same film/cassette combination.
Note
.
The Vacutec, AID or similar Ion Chamber type is directly
connected to the “AEC Adaptation Board”. For Comet Ion
Chambers, cable connection has to be made previously through
the Comet Preamplifier PA-021 and then directly to the “AEC
Adaptation Board”.
For other cases, a cable adapter is required. The Generator
manufacturer has the following cable adapters available: GE
(A3082--01), CGR-BVM (A3081--01), Philips Amplimat
(A3080--01/02 with DB-15 or A6727-01/02 with Phenolic

Each type of Ion Chamber requires a specified reference voltage for
“Area Selections” and “AEC Reset” signals:
G
Vacutec, AID and Comet Ion Chambers require GND (TB1-10).
G
MEDYS, CGR-BVM, GE and Philips Amplimat Ion Chambers
require +24 VDC (TB1-4).
The reference voltage is provided from: TB1-7 “Relay 1” for IC1; TB1-6
“Relay 2” for IC2; TB1-5 “Relay 3” for IC3; and TB1-8 “Relay 4” for IC4.
For each group of Ion Chambers of the same type, connect a wire
between each of the above mentioned terminals to TB1-10 (GND), TB1-4
(+24 VDC) or TB1-3 (+12 VDC) depending on the voltage required
(examples: for four MEDYS Ion Chambers add only a wire-jumper
between TB1-7 and TB1-4; or for one MEDYS Ion Chamber as IC-1 and
one COMET Ion Chamber as IC-2 add a wire-jumper between TB1-7 and
TB1-4, and another wire between TB1-6 and TB1-10).
DO NOT TURN ON THE GENERATOR UNTIL THE INPUT
SIGNALS OF ALL THE ION CHAMBERS ARE CONNECTED TO
THE REQUIRED VOLTAGE. OTHER VOLTAGE MIGHT
DAMAGE THE ION CHAMBERS.
5.
Ion Chambers output must be 0 VDC when there is no-radiation
(No-Offset adjustment). If an Ion Chamber output has an offset, it must
be adjusted to 0 VDC with the respective Potentiometer.

SYSTEM INTERCONNECTIONS
SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION SIGNALS
All input signals are active low. This means the inputs must be pulled to ground
(chassis ground of the Generator) thru relay contacts, by a transistor or other
switching device. The current requirement of the switch is less than 10 mA.
Do not apply 115 / 220 VAC logic signals to any of the logic
inputs. If 115 / 220 VAC logic signals are used in the X-ray
table, these signals must be converted to a contact closure
by a relay.
The outputs signals from the Generator to the subsystem devices are usually
active low (switched to chassis ground of the Generator). The outputs are open
collector transistor drivers with a maximum current of 0.5 Amperes.

SECTION 1
INITIAL CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Configuration provides the initial settings for extended memory and checkout
procedures that must be carried out before making X-ray exposures.
Functional characteristics of this Generator are defined at the time of
installation.
Calibration and some configuration data are stored in a non-volatile memory
chip (U3-EEPROM) located on the HT Controller Board in the Power Cabinet.
When the initial setup and checkout has been completed the Generator will be
ready for Calibration.
Note
.
Record all the configuration settings in the Data Book.
DO NOT SUPPLY THE MAIN POWER UNTIL SPECIFICALLY
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN THIS DOCUMENT.
THE MAIN CAPACITORS OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER
RETAIN A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR CHARGE FOR
APPROX. 3 MINUTES AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF.
The Generator configuration is determined by:
•
X-ray tube(s) number, model and use.
•
System requirements (Bucky, Tomo, AEC, ...)
•
Maximum kV, kW.
Specific versions of U24-EPROM on the ATP Console CPU Board and U5 on
the HT Controller Board are based on the Generator configuration. (Refer to
Illustration 1-1).

3.2.2
PROGRAMMING OF ROTOR ACCELERATION TIME, RAD FILAMENT SETTING TIME,
FLUORO ROTOR AND FILAMENT HOLD-OVER TIME
Rotor Acceleration Time is determined by the X-ray Tube and
Rotor characteristics and it must be considered when the
Generator is about to be configured. X-ray Tube could be
permanently damaged unless the required RPM are reached
before an exposure. (Refer to technical information of the
X-ray Tube).
Dip Switch 3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board is used to program:
•
Rotor Acceleration Time. That depends on stator voltage, stator
frequency, stator type, quality of X-ray tube bearings, and X-ray tube
anode size. A reed tachometer or a stroboscope can be used to
determine the anode RPM. Be sure that the Rotor Acceleration Times
meet all requirements for anticipated customer applications.
This value is programmable from 0.8 to 2.7 seconds. After this time the
Rotor is hold running in maintaining mode as long as “Prep” is active.
Note
•
Rad Filament Setting Time. This parameter has the same configuration
value than the Rotor Acceleration Time. Sometimes, if it is required to
increase the Rad Filament Setting Time to the next value, configure the
respective switches again. This adjustment avoids Error-12.
•
Fluoro Rotor Hold-over Time and Fluoro Filament Hold-over Time. This
value can be programmed to run for 1 minute or not at all, after releasing
the Fluoro Pedal.
.
The Rotor Acceleration Time and Rad Filament Setting Time is
factory set to 1.8 seconds. The Fluoro Rotor Hold-over Time and
Fluoro Filament Hold-over Time is factory set to 1 minute. Maintain
this value when it is unknown or not provided with the X-ray Tube
documentation.

SELF-RUNNING MODE
The continuous starting and braking of the anode produces an overheating in
the X-ray Tube Stator (a.e. during calibration procedure). The “Self-running
mode” avoids this overheating.
In the “Self-running mode” (switch 3243SW4-6 in the “ON” position), the anode
remains running for approximately 1 minute when rotates at 3300 rpm or
10000 rpm.
The LV-DRAC enters in the “Self-running mode” when “Preparation” is selected
three consecutive times only from the Console buttons or Handswitch, and
the time between two of the consecutive accelerations is shorter than
30 seconds (refer to illustration below).

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
.
Enter in GSM Program for Calibration procedures as described in
the “Configuration” document.
Enter and store calibration data in the Extended Memory
Locations as described in Section 2.2 of the “Configuration”
document.
Record all the calibration data in the Data Book.
Before calibration, bear in mind that:
Note
•
For calibration and measure the kVp it is needed a Non-Invasive kVp
Meter.
•
For calibration and measure mA or mAs it is needed a mAs Meter
plugged to the banana connections on the HV Transformer (connect the
mAs Meter for Digital mA Loops calibration).
.
Test points on the HT Controller Board can also be used to monitor
the kV and mA readings but should not be used to calibrate the
unit. These test points must be checked with scope:
- mA test point is TP-5 and the scale factor is:
with HT Controller Board A3000- xx (except - 44)
(<1000 mA Generator)
- from 10 to 80 mA, 1 volt = 10 mA
- from 100 mA, 1 volt = 100 mA
with HT Controller Board A3000- 44 (1000 mA Generator)
- from 10 to 80 mA, 1 volt = 20 mA
- from 100 mA, 1 volt = 200 mA
- kV test point is TP-7 and the scale factor is 1 volt = 33.3 kV
(0.3 volt = 10 kV)

DIP SWITCH
Verify position of dip switches on the HT Controller Board during every
calibration procedure:
OPEN (OFF)
CLOSED (ON)
3000SW2-2
Position during operation -- Enables Filament and
Rotor Interlocks
Disables Filament and Rotor Interlocks
(this turns off the filament so no radiation will
be produced during the exposure).
3000SW2-4
Position during operation -- Digital mA Loop Closed
Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant
Note
.
Only for Generators with Low Speed Starter (LF-RAC) (it does not
apply to Generators with High Speed Starter - LV-DRAC):
-- When the Digital mA Loop is open (dip switch 3000SW2-4 in
“On”), the rotor runs for two minutes after releasing the handswitch
button from “Preparation” position. After this time the rotor will
brake (unless DC Brake is removed).
-- When the Digital mA Loop is closed (dip switch 3000SW2-4 in
“Off”), the rotor will brake after releasing the handswitch button
from “Preparation” position (unless DC Brake is removed).

Be sure that X-ray Tubes configured in E02 and E18 Memory Locations
correspond to X-ray Tubes installed (refer to Configuration document).
FILAMENT STAND-BY CURRENT
Note
.
For RAD Only Generators, the Filament Stand-by value is
auto-calibrated by the Generator and automatically stored into the
respective Memory Locations (E01 and E17). Filament Stand-by
values are not field changeable.
Note
.
For RAD and Fluoro Generators, E17 Memory Location (”Fluoro
Filament Setting”) sets maximum patient Entrance Skin Exposure

Perform the Auto-calibration procedure as described in Section 2.5.1 for
each X-ray Tube in the system.
AUTO-CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN
Auto-calibration of the Filament Current Numbers is divided in two separated
procedures related to the mA stations configured for the Small or Large Focal
Spots.
It is recommended to start with the Small Focal Spot (first group) and continue
with the Large Focal Spot (second group).
EACH TIME THAT AUTO-CALIBRATION IS ACTIVATED IN A
mA STATION (OR IN “E01” MEMORY LOCATION), ALL THE
FILAMENT CURRENT NUMBERS OF THE SELECTED FOCAL
SPOT ARE AUTOMATICALLY SET TO “344”. SO A NEW
COMPLETE CALIBRATION OF THE FILAMENT CURRENT
NUMBERS FOR THIS FOCAL SPOT WILL BE REQUIRED.

Auto-calibration starts with the minimum available mA station for the selected
Focal Spot at 50 kV and follows with the other combinations of mA stations for
the selected Focal Spot at 80 kV, 120 kV and 40 kV.
1.
Enter in Auto-calibration mode by pressing the “Auto Calibration” button
on the GSM menu.
2.
Select an available workstation (WS) of the X-ray Tube to be calibrated
and press the “OK” button. This workstation has to be one of the

6.
Check that the Heat Units capacity available for the X-ray Tube is 100%
or nearly (HU 0% displayed on the screen).
BEFORE MAKING ANY EXPOSURE IN AUTO-CALIBRATION,
VERIFY THAT THE LINK BETWEEN THE BANANA PLUG
CONNECTIONS ON THE HV TRANSFORMER IS INSTALLED.
7.
Note
.
Keep fully pressed the Handswitch button to perform continuous
exposures.
In Auto-calibration mode, all technique parameters are factory
pre-programmed and they can not be changed.
Auto-calibration can be paused momentarily releasing the
Handswitch button, whenever there is not an exposure in
process. Do not exit from Auto-calibration before the
procedure has been completed.
Note
.
Auto-calibration can be cancelled by pressing the “Auto
Calibration” button. A message on the screen informs that
Auto-calibration has been cancelled and after a while the screen
shows the GSM menu.
If during Auto-calibration process, any error indication is shown
momentarily (such as “Tube Overload”, etc.), it means that Generator
can not calibrate in this moment the selected kV / mA combination
(because anode overheated, space charge, Generator power limit, etc.).
In this case, the Generator will continue with Auto-calibration of the
following available kV / mA combinations for the selected Focal Spot. At
the end of the process it will try to calibrate or calculate the combinations
previously uncalibrated.
If the Heat Units value displayed is more than 60%, exposures are
inhibited momentarily and message “Tube too hot” is shown on the
screen. This message will disappear and exposures can be made again
when the X-ray Tube begins to cool and recovers the Heat Units capacity.
At this point, it is recommended to wait until the Heat Units value
displayed are close to the 20% before making any exposure.

Calibration
Generator tries to calibrate each kV / mA combination for ten (10)
attempts (maximum). If calibration is cancelled (after ten attempts),
message “Auto calibration failure” is shown on the screen until press the
“Auto Calibration” button to exit from Auto-calibration mode and go back
to the GSM menu. Calibration can be also cancelled due to space charge
during calibration of the lowest kV at the highest mA stations for the Focal
Spot selected, so message “Auto calibration failure” is also shown on the
screen until press the “Auto Calibration” button to exit from
Auto-calibration mode and go back to the GSM menu.
ONLY IF AUTO-CALIBRATION IS CANCELLED DUE TO
“AUTO CALIBRATION FAILURE”, CONTINUE THE
AUTO-CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR THE OTHER FOCAL
SPOT. CHECK AT THE END OF THE AUTO-CALIBRATION
PROCEDURE WHICH kV / mA COMBINATIONS HAVE NOT
BEEN AUTO-CALIBRATED FOR EACH FOCAL SPOT (THESE
COMBINATIONS HAVE THE FILAMENT CURRENT NUMBER
SET TO “344”). MANUALLY CALIBRATE THESE kV / mA
COMBINATIONS AS EXPLAIN IN SECTION 2.5.2.
When Auto-calibration is successfully performed, message “Auto
Calibration OK” is shown on the screen until press the “Auto Calibration”
button to exit from Auto-calibration mode and go back to the GSM menu.
8.
Repeat the same procedure for the Large Focal Spot.
Enter in Auto-calibration mode by pressing the “Auto Calibration” button
on the GSM menu.
Select an available workstation (WS) of the X-ray Tube to be calibrated
and press the “OK” button. This workstation has to be one of the
previously configured as “Direct”.
Select the Large Focal Spot by pressing the “Large” button and then
press the “OK” button.
Confirm or leave the Auto-calibration by pressing the respective button
on each screen.
Auto-calibration is activated when the “Auto Calibration” button is lighted.
At this moment, the Generator has checked the mA stations available for
the Large Focal Spot.
Before starting the exposures, it is recommended to wait until the Heat
Units value displayed are close to the 20%.

11.
Perform the Auto-calibration procedure for the second X-ray Tube.
12.
Turn the Generator power OFF and set Dip Switch 3000SW2-4 on the
HT Controller Board in “Off” position (Digital mA Loop Closed).
MANUAL CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN
This procedure describes the Manual calibration of all the Filament Current
Numbers. It has to be also used to calibrate the kV / mA combinations not
performed during Auto-calibration procedure because it has not been
completed. These combinations have the Filament Current Number set to
“344”, so only these combinations have to be manually calibrated as described
in this procedure. If Auto-calibration for one of the Focal Spots has been
successful, it is only required to perform the manual calibration of the mA station
do not calibrate for the other Focal Spot.
Manual Calibration is initiated at the 80 kV break point by entering the
appropriate Filament Current Number for the proper tube current at each
selectable mA. Calibration at the other kV break points (40, 50, 80 and 120 kV)
are obtained by adding or subtracting values as indicated in Table 2-1.
Although the suggested values (Table 2-1) could change depending on the
X-ray tube used, entering those values will approximate accurate calibration
without making excessive exposures.
In “Manual Calibration” mode, the Filament Current Numbers are shown on the
calibration panel by pressing the “Read” button after selecting the respective
kV / mA combination. The value can be changed by pressing the “Increase” or
“Decrease” buttons of the calibration panel and stored by pressing the “Store”
button.
Note that in calibration mode, only the mA stations and kV (at the break points)
can be selected.

Check that the Heat Units available for the X-ray Tube is 100% or nearly
(HU 0% displayed on the screen).
5.
Accordingly to X-ray tube ratings or maximum Generator power, check
which kV / mA combinations in Table 2-1 are allowed.
If error “Tube Overload” is shown after selection of a kV / mA combination,
it means this combination is not allowed for the selected X-ray Tube.
In calibration mode, if Generator power is exceeded by a kV / mA
combination selection, error “E-16” is shown after “Preparation”. Reset
this error by pressing the “Reset Error” button.

8.
Make an exposure. The mAs read on the mAs Meter must be the same
mAs displayed on the calibration screen with a tolerance of ± 0.1 mAs
(tolerance of the parameter and mAs Meter). If the mAs read is close to
zero, increase the filament number in big steps (a.e. increase values in
40). As the mAs read is close to the mAs displayed on the Console,
increase (or reduce) the filament number in smaller steps (a.e. increase
value in 30, 20, 10, ...).
If the mAs is low, increase the filament number. If the mA is high,
decrease the filament number. Press the “Store” button before making
a new exposure. Repeat until the mA station is calibrated.
Note
.
Press the “Store” button to store the new data (filament number)
before selecting the next kV or mA stations.
Calibration data (presently in memory) may or may not be
close to your requirements. If it is not close, the potential
exists to damage the X-ray tube (i.e. too much mA). Thus, as
you start the mA calibration procedure note how close or how
far off the mA break points are. If a large adjustment (more
than 40 points) is required at the low mA stations, make
estimated adjustments to the high mA stations before those
exposures are made.
9.
Select the next mA station at 80 kV. Before making any exposure, enter
as filament number the value calibrated for the previous mA station

number has reached the maximum number (999)), replace on the
Filament Board (A3004--09/10) the Resistor R11 for another
resistor with 1.4 Ω / 5 W, and place Jumper JP1 in position “A”.
Then rename the Filament Board as A3004--11.
ATTENTION: After doing this modification reduce the value
of all the filament current numbers (column for 80 kV) at the
25% and perform the calibration procedure again (from
step-5).
Note
11.
Complete the calibration process for the remaining kV / mA combinations
using Table 2-1 as a guide. It is not necessary to make exposures to do
this. Compute the value for all the kV break points of each available mA
station although the Generator power can not reach all the kV / mA
combinations. Select the corresponding kV / mA combination and enter
the computed value.
12.
Check calibration at all break points (making exposures) and correct any

AEC CALIBRATION
This section describes the adjustments needed to calibrate the AEC according
to the customer input. Therefore, AEC exposures will be made during the
calibration process in order to insure AEC functionality.
The Optical Density is controlled by the values stored in the respective memory
locations. These values are influenced by film speed, screen speed, dark room
procedures and customer requirements.
Use a homogeneous Phantom with enough density to produce an exposure of
100 ms, the AEC will be calibrated to produce a density of 1.0 (or the customer
preference Optical Density) at 70 kV, and then AEC tracking will be adjusted to
produce the same density at 55 kV, 90 kV and 110 kV.
Note
.
For AEC calibration, use the same Film and Cassettes used by the
customer. AEC calibration must be performed using the Medium
Film/Screen speed combination. The Medium Film/Screen speed
has to be double of the Slow and half of the Fast (e.g. 200--Slow,
400--Medium, 800--Fast).
Note
.
When using CR (Computer Radiography) or DR (Digital
Radiography) instead of measuring Optical Density:
-- measure the Image Gray level by using the needed software
tools inside each application (refer CR or DR documentation).
-- or measure the Dose level:
-- For CR, placing the Dosimeter as close as possible to the
Cassette and centered with the Central Area of the Ion Chamber.
-- For DR, placing the Dosimeter as close as possible to the
Panel, centered with the Central Area of the Ion Chamber and with
the Grid removed.

Obtain a sensitometric curve to determine gamma (γ) of the film and the solution
quality. The procedure normally requires a sensitometer, but if it is not available
proceed as follows:
1.
Make two exposures using the same kV and Film/Screen combination
(medium is recommended) but with different mAs settings, mAs(f1) and
mAs(f2).
2.
Develop and measure the Density (d) of each, d(f1) and d(f2).

FLUORO CALIBRATION
This generator uses Pulsed Fluoro at fixed or variable rate. This technique is
a series of short exposures at the TV frame rate (fixed rate) or at the selected
PPS (variable rate).
Fluoro exposures are controlled by kV with a constant filament current. The kV
values are manually (Manual mode) or automatically (ABC mode) adjusted to
obtain the desired brightness (entrance dose rate) on the Image Intensifier.
The Fluoro calibration consists of setting values in the corresponding Extended
Memory Locations for Fluoro use. The following table indicates the relationship
between Fluoro and Extended Memory Locations.

E19 is used to set maximum Fluoro kV. This value is determined by the
type of TV camera and type of images desired. For general fluoroscopic
use with a conventional TV system, 120 kV is recommended. A lower
maximum setting will produce more contrast on the TV system but less
penetration for large patients.
•
E25, E26, E27 are used to calibrate the Fluoro mA Display. These values
will be shown on the Fluoro mA Display during Fluoro exposures
whenever maximum PPS are selected.
.
The Fluoro mA Display values entered into the Extended Memory
Locations E25, E26 and E27 are also used to calculate Heat Units.
It is important to enter accurate values.
Fluoro functions are calibrated by performing the following steps:
1.
Turn the generator ON.
Make sure that the Small Filament of the X-ray tube is properly
warmed-up (at less 15 minutes).
2.
Set up a Dosimeter to measure the Maximum Entrance Skin Exposure
Dose Rate. Position the Probe at the center of the primary beam with the
entire active volume within the primary beam.
Place the Tube-Collimator Assembly as close as possible to the
Table-Top, fully open the Collimator Blades and align the Image
Intensifier with the light beam. Block radiation input to Image Intensifier
with a Lead Apron. (Refer to Illustration 2-4).

Enter in “Manual Calibration” mode through a Fluoro workstation and
read the Filament Number at 120 kV / 10 mA. Divide this value by four

values is to measure the average mA using a mA meter in Fluoro.
During Fluoro exposure, mA values are read directly with a mA Meter in

ABC CALIBRATION
The purpose of the ABC System is to maintain an optimum constant Image
Tube Output Brightness by controlling the X-ray kV during Fluoro exams,
regardless of changes in the patient opacity viewed on the TV monitor.
The closed-loop ABC System can monitor the Image Tube Output Brightness
through two ways: Photomultiplier Tube or TV Camera.
2.8.1
ABC SYSTEM WITH PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE
Note
.
This operation requires the AEC Control Board A3012--x6/x7/x9
(Digital version).
On this system the Photomultiplier current signal, which is proportional to the
Image Tube Output Brightness, is used as brightness signal “PT Input” for the
ABC circuitry of the Generator. (Refer to Illustration 2-5).
This analogic signal is converted to a voltage signal in the Photomultiplier
Amplifier Board and sent to a peak-detector in the AEC Control Board. The peak
signal obtained is then held through a “Sample and Hold” circuitry after a
synchronism pulse. The peak signal held is adapted to obtain finally the “ABC
IN” signal which is so the Photomultiplier signal-peak held between
synchronism pulses. This signal is then compared to a window reference.
Brightness error at the comparator output is sent as “kV Up” and “kV Down” to
the Generator where is used to drive the Fluoro kV control. The closed-loop
operation requires more or less brightness thru “kV Up” and “kV Down” demand
signals respectively. Patient Entrance Dose is automatically varied so that
optimum constant Image Tube Output Brightness is maintained.
CA-1036R2
49
HF Series Generators
Calibration
The optimum brightness level in ABC mode is set by adjusting Brightness
Control Resistor R13 on the AEC Control Board, which controls the output of
the Photomultiplier Tube High Voltage power supply on the Interface Control
Board (“PT CRL” plus 5 volts programs the output to be 0 volts, and 0 volts
programs the output to approximately --1200 volts). The window comparator
requires an input range from 0 to +10 VDC for the “ABC IN” (the optimum
brightness level will be achieved with a value between 5 and 7 VDC).

ABC SYSTEM WITH TV CAMERA
The ABC can be performed with an Analogic Signal Output (ABC OUT)
proportional to the brightness or with the Composite Video Signal Output from
the TV Camera.
The “ABC OUT” signal from the TV Camera is compatible with the Generator
when the range is from 0 VDC (dark image) to 10 VDC (bright image) and the
Optimum Brightness is achieved at around 6 VDC.
When a TV Camera without a direct “ABC OUT” signal is used, the Composite
Video signal (which amplitude is proportional to the image tube output
brightness) is sent to an RF Adaptation Board where it is transformed into an
“ABC OUT” analogic signal. In this case, the brightness level is taken from a
rectangular window from the center of the raster. (Refer to Illustration 2-7).
This analogic signal in the AEC Control Board (“PT Input” in Board
A3012--x1/x2/x5 and “ABC OUT” in Board A3012--x6/x7/x9) is filtered, and
compared to a window reference. Brightness error at the comparator output is
sent as “kV Up” and “kV Down” to the Generator where is used to drive the fluoro
kV control. The closed-loop operation requires more or less brightness thru “kV
Up” and “kV Down” demand signals respectively. Patient entrance dose is
automatically varied so that constant image tube output brightness is
maintained.

The optimum brightness level in ABC mode is set by adjusting the gain at R27
on the RF Adaptation Board. The “ABC OUT” signal requires an input range
from 0 to +10 VDC (the stabilized value will be between 5 and 7 VDC).
Window reference could be adjusted first to set mid-way the brightness level (+6
VDC), and second to increase or decrease the range of response and sensitivity
of the kV control to input variations (brightness changes). If oscillation occurs
during ABC fluoro exposure, increase the dead zone by adjusting R11 and R14
on the AEC Control Board. (Refer to Illustration 2-8 for ABC waveforms)

Troubleshooting
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The Generator contains many self-diagnostic routines which greatly facilitate
troubleshooting. Self-diagnostic functions require that all microprocessors
function correctly. Each microprocessor contains LEDs that indicate its correct
operation.
As a general rule, the first step in any troubleshooting procedure is to verify
correct Power Supply Voltages and perform a visual inspection of all Boards
and Cable connections.
On arrival in the X-ray Room, the Service Engineer should carry out the
following operations:
•
If the Generator cannot be Powered up, run the troubleshooting for Error
Code E01.
•
If the Generator can be Powered up:
G
Check which Error Code is displayed on the Console and run the
troubleshooting routines for the last Error Code displayed.
G
If it is not, try to reproduce the failure in the conditions reported by
the Operator. It is possible that the Error Code displayed is
different from either that indicated by the Operator. In all cases,
run the troubleshooting routines for the last Error Code displayed.
When any major component, such as a X-ray Tube,
HV Transformer or Circuit Board, is replaced in the system,
perform the respective Configuration and Calibration
procedures.
If the HT Controller Board or the ATP Console CPU Board are
replaced, check specially that Extended Memory data have
not been lost or modified with the Board change. Compare
Extended Memory data displayed on the Console with the
values noted in the Data Book.
If the HT Controller Board is replaced in the Power Module,
transfer U3-EEPROM from the old Board to the new Board.
U3-EEPROM contains calibration data and if U3-EEPROM is
not transferred a complete Calibration must be performed.
Also, make some exposures using different techniques and
Focal Spot and check that mA stations are calibrated
correctly, if not perform Calibration procedures.
Update and record in the Data Book any new data entered in
the Extended Memory Locations.

REPLACEMENT OF MEMORY IN ATP CONSOLE CPU BOARD AND/OR
HT CONTROLLER BOARD
Before starting up the system, you have to set ON the switch A3024SW2--3 at
the ATP Console CPU Board to enable Service Mode. A few seconds after
pressing the ON button on the Console, you will see E10 (this is shown because
the EPROM U24 has been replaced).
Reset the error indication by pressing the respective button on the Console and
keep it pressed until the Error 10 disappears.
After this, the normal start up will take place.
We recommend setting this switch back to OFF once the installation has been
completed. This will not enable the operator to enter in Configuration or in
Calibration Mode (Service Modes).

techniques stored in the U23-NVRAM to the U18-E2PROM of the ATP Console
CPU Board. This action make a copy of all the APR techniques stored in the
“APR working file” to the “APR backup file” .
The APR backup is automatically performed when the equipment is turned
OFF/ON, whenever any APR technique has been modified and stored in the
U23-NVRAM by the operator.
To backup the APR techniques, exit the APR mode and press simultaneously
push-buttons 1-5-6 of the APR module. (Refer to Illustration 2-2).
2.4.4
APR RESTORE
The APR Restore makes a copy of the parameters and selections of the APR
techniques stored in the U18-E2PROM to the U23-NVRAM of the ATP Console
CPU Board. This action replaces the data stored in the “APR working file” by
the data stored in the “APR backup file” for all the APR techniques.
The APR Restore is automatically performed when the Console is turned
OFF-ON, whenever any problem had been detected during the U23-NVRAM
checksum.

Troubleshooting
ACTIONS
A.
PRELIMINARY
1.
Select minimum kVp , minimum mA, and 80 ms (for example 40 kVp, 10mA, and 80 ms). Make
preparation and check that anode rotates in the X-ray Tube. If the anode is not rotating correctly,
check the starter and the Stator connections.
2.
In case the anode is rotating correctly, make an exposure:
3.
G
If “09” or “Generator Overload” appears follow procedure in paragraph B (Inverter Module
Test).
G
If not, follow step-3.
Increment kVp in 10 kVp steps, select the same mA and time. Make an exposure:
G
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears, or the exposure is cut before 80 ms, then follow
procedure in paragraph C (HV Transformer Test).
G
If not, keep on increasing the kVp in 10 kVp steps (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 and 125
kVp for 125 kVp HV Transformers; and 130, 140, 150 kVp for 150 kVp HV Transformers)
making Exposures at each kVp selected.
--
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears or the exposure is cut before 80 ms at any
kVp selected, follow procedure in paragraph C (HV Transformer Test).
--
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” has not appeared at the maximum kVp or the
exposure was not cut before 80 ms , it means that HV Transformer and HV Cables are
OK. Then follow the procedure in paragraph E. In this case high mA causes E09 or
“Generator Overload”.
B.
INVERTER MODULE TEST
1.
Power off Generator and mains.
2.
Remove the cover from the Generator Cabinet.
3.
Wait for the DC Bus of the Inverter to be fully discharged. When it is fully discharged the Leds
on the Charge-Discharge Monitor Board will be completely turned off.
4.
When Leds are off make a jumper between DC-BUS+ and DC--BUS--. Make sure that there is
less than 10 VDC across the BUS. (Refer to Illustration 4-1 to see where to make the jumper).
5.
Measure with a Multimeter in Diode (or ohms) between C2E1 (positive polarity) and E2 or C1
(negative polarity) in both IGBTs (refer to Illustration 4-1 for more details). Repeat the measure
with different polarity between C2E1 (negative polarity) and E2 or C1 (positive polarity).
Voltage should be around 0.3 V (or the resistance must be a high impedance) for the IGBT to
be OK. Normally when an IGBT is broken the voltage is = 0 volts (or the resistance is zero Ohms)
or very close.

Don’t forget to remove the jumper across the DC Bus after all measurements are
made, otherwise the Inverter will suffer serious damage.
7.
If any of the IGBTs are short-circuited, replace the IGBT.
8.
If both IGBTs are OK, remove both shielded cable that connect the Inverter to the HV
Transformer: P1, P3 and SHLD (P2) . Isolate the three wires completely from each other and
from the metal sheet or ground. Make sure that wires are perfectly isolated and that no
short-circuit is made otherwise serious damages could be produced.
9.
Set Dip-switch 3000SW2--2 in ON position at the HT Controller Board.
10. Turn ON mains and Generator.
11. Make an exposure:
Note
.
G
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appear or the exposure has not been cut before 80ms,
change (if possible) the whole Inverter. If it is not possible check capacitor C9 and choke
L1 of the inverter (normally placed at the backside of the inverter). If both seem OK, change
both IGBTS and IPM Drivers (Do not forget to re--connect both shielded cables to the HV
Transformer (P1, P2 and P3).
G
If “E09” or “Generator Overload“ does not appear and the exposure has not been cut before
80 ms, re--connect both shielded cables to the H. Voltage Transformer (P1, P2 and P3).
Follow the procedure in paragraph C (High Voltage Transformer Test).
At the end of an Exposure and right after releasing the Handswitch, error “E13” is
shown on the Console (this is normal, reset and continue).
12. Set Dip-switch 3000SW2-2 in OFF position at the HT Controller Board. Re-connect both
shielded cables that connect the Inverter to the HV Transformer P1, P3 and SHLD (P2).

Board. Select 50 kVp, 25 mA and 50 ms.
3.
Make an exposure and check that both waveforms are almost symmetric (a difference of ±10%
is normal).
G
If it is OK, follow procedure in step-4.
G
If it is not OK, check:
--
that in the mA test point of the HV Transformer the jumper is securely placed and
tighten.
--
that connector J1 is well placed and tighten in the HV Transformer.
--
continuity between J1-D and P4-7, J1-E and P4-6, J1-B and P4-2, and J1-C and P4-1.
Check that they are well connected and tighten.
--
if after these actions the waveform is not OK, replace HV Transformer.
4.
Turn OFF Generator and mains.
5.
Remove HV Cables from the HV Transformer (anode and cathode) and fill the HV Receptacles

11. Select the maximum kVp allowed (depending of the tube type) and maximum Exposure Time
allowed but NEVER go over than 110--130 kVp. Make several Exposures and check that
waveforms are correct. If the waveforms are not symmetric within ± 10% at any point, replace
the HV Transformer.
12. Repeat the above procedure for the X-ray Tube-2 if the installation has two tubes.
13. If everything is OK, it means that HV Transformer is OK and the problem could be in X-ray Tube
or in the HV Cables. To know when the Tube begins to arc follow procedure in parragraph D.
In any case, X-ray Tube must be replaced.
14. Set in the HT Controller Dip-switch SW2 position 4 in OFF and remove jumper between FIL (TP8)
and + 5 V (TP2).
D.
X-RAY TUBE TEST
Although after the performance of the above referred test everything is found OK, the Service
Engineer may want to know the actual status of the tube. Perform the following procedure in order to
determine the point in which the X-ray Tube begins to arc, it is strongly recommended to replace the
tube as soon as possible to prevent potential damage to the Generator.
1.
Select minimum kVp and minimum mA and 100 ms.
2.
Make an exposure.
3.
Increment kVp in 10 kVp steps, select same mA and time. Make an exposure.
G
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears follow procedure in step C.1 (HV Transformer
Test).
G
If not, keep on incrementing the kVp in steps of 10 kVp (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 and
125 kVp for 125 kVp HV Transformers; and 130, 140, 150 kVp HV Transformers) making
exposures at each kVp selected.
--
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears at any kVp selected it means that the tube
has dielectric problems above the selected kVp.
•
If “E09” or “Generator Overload” does not appear up to maximum kVp, it means that arcing may
be due to mA or kW, follow procedure in step-4.
4.
Select minimum kVp and minimum mA. Increment the mA one station and make an Exposure.
Keep on incrementing the mA station (making exposures) until “E09” or “Generator Overload”
appears. This will give an idea of the maximum mA allowed by the tube without arcing. If “E09”
or “Generator Overload” does not appear follow step-5.
5.
If still the tube does not arc, the problem is related to kW=KV*mA. Make selections on the
Console at 100 ms incrementing kV and mA. A point will be reached in which “E09” or “Generator
Overload” will appear. This will give an idea on the approximate value of kVp and mA that can
be handled by the X-ray Tube. Anyway, this value may change when the tube heats up.
E.
RANDOM “E09” OR “GENERATOR OVERLOAD”
If everything is OK and random “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears, check:
40
1.
That the signal IGBT FAULT on pin 3 of P5 on the HT Controller Board is not low (logic 0) in
stand-by and during the exposure. If there is noise, check loose connection between pin 3 of
P5 on HT Controller Board, and pin 4 of J2 in both IPM Driver Boards
2.
If IGBT FAULT is active during an exposure, try to isolate when it occurs. It may be due to noise
coming from any device outside the Generator (Bucky, Fluoro devices, etc.). Or it may occur
when selecting a high power Exposure and the voltage of the main line goes down more than
10% (in this case check the part number of the IPM Driver Board, it must be A3063-03 or greater).

ERROR CODE :
E12
DESCRIPTION :
No mA during exposure or mA out of tolerance. Wrong filament current.
ERROR TYPE :
Informative.
APPLICABLE TO :
All Generators
APPEARS WHEN :
After exposition.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM :
Error 12 appears after the Exposure to alert the operator that the mA at the starting of the exposure has
not been correct. During the first 10 ms the Generator applies constant filament current to the tube.
This current is proportional to the current already calibrated for that mA station at the kVp selected for
that Exposure (filament numbers). Near the end of these 10 ms, the HT Controller reads the mA and if
they are found to be a 30% under or over of what has been selected, it sends error 12 to the Console.
POSIBLE CAUSES
Calibration data for kVp and mA that produces E12 are not correct.
The mA jumper on the HV Transformer is open, or it is not making good contact. The mA read at the
beginning of the exposure is 50% of the correct value (because one branch is open).
There is a problem on the reading of the mA.
No correct heating prior to the Exposure. The filament has not reached its correct temperature and
the mA at the starting of the exposure is low. It usually occurs when the “Prep” and “Exp” buttons are
pressed down at the same time.
Making an exposure immediately after getting out of calibration mode in extended memory.
+5 VDC , +12 VDC or --12 VDC Power Supplies of HT Control Board (mesured at TP2, TP3 and TP4
of this Board) have excesive ripple or VDC measured is not correct.
ACTIONS
1.
Connect a scope to the following Test Points in the HT Control Board and check that the voltage
is correct, if not adjust it with the respective Potentiometer in the Power Supply Board (refer to
Section 2.1 - Low DC Voltage Power Supply Test):
TP2 (+5 VDC) in HT Control Board is adjusted with R12 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
TP3 (+12 VDC) in HT Control Board is adjusted with R26 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
TP4 (--12 VDC) in HT Control Board is adjusted with R25 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
2.
Check calibration data for the mA Open Loop (filament numbers) as stated in the Service Manual
for all combination of kVp and mA when this error appears.
With a scope connected to the Test Point TP5 (mA) in the HT Control Board check that the mA
read is within the ratio of 1V=100 mA (± 5%) for V2 and V3 software versions, for V4 and up the
ratio is 1V=10mA from minimum mA to 80 mA and 1V=100mA from 100 mA to the maximum
rating. If it is not, the cause could be that the mA second test is not measuring right, or a wrong
measurement performed in the Generator. (Refer to step 3).
44
3.
Check that the jumper in the mA test point of the HV Transformer is well placed and tighten.
4.
With a scope check that during the entire Exposure signals on the test point TP13 (--mA) and
TP14 (+mA) on the HT Control Board connectors are symmetrical (± 10%). If one is found
missing or not symmetrical, measure on pin 6 and 7 of J4 on the HT Control Board. If they are
symmetrical on both points, the problem could be in the HT Control Board. If they are not correct,
check that the connections made on the HV Transformer in J1-E, D, K terminals for Compact
Generators (in TB1, terminals 1, 4 and 5 for no Compact Generators) are well connected and
tighten. Also check that the GND wire is connected to the GND stud. If connections are correct
the problem is in the HV Transformer.

5.
Connect a scope to the Test Point TP5 (mA) in the HT Control Board. Check that when an
exposure is made by pressing at the same time the “Prep” and “Exp” controls, the mA at the
beginning of exposure is low. Check that when the exposure is made by pressing first the “Prep”
control and then the “Exp” control, the mA at the beginning of exposure is correct.
6.
For Low Speed Generators:
G

For High Speed Generators:
G
ERROR CODE :
Reprogram the “Rotor Acceleration and Filament Setting Time” as stated in the Service
Manual, one step over the time as it was before (a.e.: if it was 1.2 seconds, reprogram for
1.8 seconds) and check if boosting is well configured.
When performing the test for High Speed Generators check that the self-maintaining mode
is not active. In order to check if the problem disappears, select the highest mA station for
Small Focus and the lowest kVp allowed for this mA station (a.e. 40 kVp, 150 mA, SF).
Make an Exposure by pressing at the same time the ”Prep” and “Exp” controls; check that
the mA reading at the beginning of the Exposure is correct. Do the same for Large Focus
(a.e. 50 kVp, 500 mA, LF). If it is found not correct, reprogram a step over at the time for
each case, and test again.

1.
Check 5 VDC between P1-4 and P1-3 (GND) in both IPM Driver Boards.
2.
Check 115 VAC between pins 1 and 2 of connector P2 on the same Boards.
3.
If it is OK, check if the -kVp (TP12) and +kVp (TP 11) test points on the HT Controller Board are
symmetrical. If they are not, check signals -- kV and + kV (in Compact Generators between P4-1
and J1-B at HV Transformer and also between P4-2 and J1-C at HV Transformer) (in no
Compact Generators between P4-1 and TB1-3 at HV Transformer and also between P4-2 and
TB1- 4at HV Transformer) if they are OK, replace the HV Transformer.
4.
Check the connectors on the IPM Driver Boards. Check continuity in P3-1 (-kV DR1), P3-2
(--kVDR2) and those signals in IPM Driver Boards. Check with a scope in TP17 (1V=33.33kVp),
if value is OK, replace HT Controller Board; if value is not OK, replace IPM Driver Boards.

AEC CHECKS
Note
.
For AEC calibration, use the same Film and Cassettes used by the
customer. AEC calibration must be performed using the Medium
Film/Screen speed combination. The Medium Film/Screen speed
has to be double of the Slow and half of the Fast (a.e. 200--Slow,
400--Medium, 800--Fast).
Note
.
When using CR (Computer Radiography) or DR (Digital
Radiography) instead of measuring Optical Density:
-- measure the Image Gray level by using the needed software
tools inside each application (refer CR or DR documentation).
-- or measure the Dose level:
-- For CR, placing the Dosimeter as close as possible to the
Cassette and centered with the Central Area of the Ion Chamber.
-- For DR, placing the Dosimeter as close as possible to the
Panel, centered with the Central Area of the Ion Chamber and with
the Grid removed.

2.10 FLUORO CHECK
Fluoro functions are calibrated by performing the following steps:
1.
Turn the Generator ON.
Make sure that the Small Filament of the X-ray tube is properly
warmed-up.
2.
Note
.
Set up a Dosimeter to measure the Maximum Entrance Skin Exposure
Dose Rate. Position the Probe at the center of the primary beam with the
entire active volume within the primary beam. Place the Tube-Collimator
Assembly as close as possible to the Table-Top, fully open the Collimator
Blades and align the Image Intensifier with the light beam. Block radiation
input to Image Intensifier with a Lead Apron. (Refer to Illustration in
Fluoro Calibration).
Note that in practice, the rejection limits for entrance exposure rate
must be somewhat less than the maximum specified due to
Dosimeter calibration accuracy.

4.
The Fluoro mA values are obtained by measuring the average mA using
a mA meter in Fluoro.
During Fluoro exposure, mA values are read directly with a mA Meter in
DC connected to the mA Test Points (banana plug connections) on the
HV Transformer. Only for this purpose, remove the link between the
banana plug connections on the HV Transformer.
5.
For testing the mA, make a Fluoro exposure at 50 kV, 80 kV and 110 kV.
Check that the mA values read on the mAs Meter must be the same mA
displayed on the Console with a tolerance of ±10 % mA. If the mA value
does not comply with the above values, perform the respective
Calibration procedures.
6.
Remove the Dosimeter and the Lead Apron (Blocker).
2.11 ABC CHECK
Note
.
If the Generator is interfaced with an ATS Image System, ABC
testing procedure has to be performed as explained in the Image
System documentation.
1.
Be sure that the Video System and the Image Intensifier are powered and
operating correctly.
2.
Set up a Dosimeter as close as possible to the Image Intensifier
Radiation Input to measure the Entrance Image Intensifier Exposure
Dose Rate. Position the Probe at the center of the primary beam with the
entire active volume within the primary beam.
Place the Tube-Collimator Assembly at the normal SID (1 meter), fully
open the Collimator Blades and align the Image Intensifier with the light
beam.
3.
18
Adjust TV Camera gain for 1 volt peak-to-peak composite video output.
MA-1004R4
HF Series Generators
Maintenance
4.
Select ABC mode.
5.
Place 2 mm of Copper (or equivalent homogeneous phantom) in the
Collimator Filter Holder.
6.
Make a Fluoro exposure and check that Fluoro kVp displayed on the
Console is between 80 kVp and 60 kVp. If it is more than 80 kV or less
than 60 kV modify the Copper thickness in steps of 0.1 mm (or 0.2 mm)
and make Fluoro exposures until the kVp is within the range.
7.
Calculate the value of the optimum dose rate (that will give optimum
brightness) to obtain 2μR/frame at 9” FOV.
Examples:
For 25 frame/second optimum dose rate is 3 mR/min.
2 μR/frame x 25 frame/s = 50 μR/s.
50 μR/s x 60 s/min = 3000 μR/min = 3 mR/min.
For 30 frame/second optimum dose rate is 3.6 mR/min.
2 μR/frame x 30 frame/s = 60 μR/s.
60 μR/s x 60 s/min = 3600 μR/min = 3.6 mR/min.
The optimum dose rate (dose rate) value should be measured at Image
Intensifier Radiation Input. Intensifier grid should be removed, if it can
not be removed, this value should be multiplied by the value specified as
Grid Absorption Factor.
MA-1004R4
8.
Make a Fluoro exposure and measure the dose rate. The dose rate read
on the Dosimeter must be the same as the previously calculated with the
tolerance specified by the Dosimeter accuracy. If the dose rate does not
comply, perform the respective Calibration procedures.
9.
Stop the Fluoro exposure and select 40 kV. Make a Fluoro exposure and
check that the kV value goes to 70 kV (or the kV obtained in step-6.)
±2 kV without System problems.
10.
Stop the Fluoro exposure and select 100 kV. Make a Fluoro exposure
and check that the kV value goes to 70 kV (or the kV obtained in step-6.)
±2 kV without System problems.

SPECIAL MAINTENANCE RELATED TO
BATTERY POWERED GENERATORS
This Section only applies to Battery Powered Generators and
must be performed at least once a year.
BATTERY STORAGE CONDITIONS
This generator should be stored at a dry environment around 20oC (68oF). The
recommended operating temperature is 15oC to 30oC (59oF to 86oF).
During normal storage conditions (dry environment at 20oC (68oF) the internal
resistance of the batteries will cause a discharge rate of 15% per six month
period. Storage above 30oC (86oF) should be avoided, since it will cause
excessive battery voltage loss.
Within the recommended operating temperature and under optimum float
conditions, the batteries service life is expected to exceed 5 years.
The batteries of the Unit are fully charged when delivered from the factory. If the
Unit is going to be stored or has been stored for a period longer than six months,
batteries must be fully charged during eight hours before operation or service
tasks.
If the unit has not been used or it has been stored for six
months, it should be installed and/or energized to prevent
deep discharge of the batteries. A deep discharge will cause
permanent damage to the batteries. Perform the following
Maintenance Tests.
3.2
BATTERY CHARGER TEST AND BATTERY CONDITION TEST
Refer to Section 2.6 “Procedures related to the Battery Powered Generators”
of the Troubleshooting document in the Service Manual and perform all the
indicated procedures to carry out a correct maintenance of the Battery Charger
Board and Batteries.

IMPORTANT NOTE
FOR X-RAY TUBE SEASONING
The seasoning procedure should be carried out to assure a correct operation of the
X-ray Tube when it is putting into operation for the first time (new X-ray Tubes). This
action establishes a favorable distribution of the electrical charges and electrostatic
stresses in the insulation system of the tube and the associated equipment.
Included in each X-ray Tube, the manufacturer gives the instructions to perform the
Tube seasoning. It is mandatory to follow these instructions, calibrating previously
the combinations of kV / mA stations required for carrying out the seasoning
procedure. (Refer to Calibration document for calibration of kV / mA combinations).
A correct seasoning will assure the most accurate calibration of the Generator
(Filament Current Numbers) and a subsequent trouble-free operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR AUTO-CALIBRATION
Auto-calibration procedure of “Digital mA Loop Open” (Filament Current Numbers)
is the recommended method to achieve the most accurate calibration. In any case,
Auto-Calibration is a help for the Manual Calibration procedure that can be
performed at any moment or when Auto-calibration procedure is not fully performed.
(Refer to Section 2.5 “Digital mA Loop Open” in the Calibration document).
During the Auto-calibration process, the Generator informs about different conditions
through messages or codes displayed on the Console. The table below is a resume of
these situations:
MESSAGE / CODE
“TUBE OVERLOAD”,
“GENERATOR OVERLOAD”,
ETC
“CONFIRM” / “DISMISS”
“222”
“TUBE TOO HOT”
“111”
“AUTOCALIBRATION
FAILURE”
“777” or “888”
“AUTO CALIBRATION OK”
“999”
SITUATION
The Generator can not calibrate in this moment the selected kV / mA combination
(because anode overheated, space charge, generator power limit, etc...). In this
case, the Generator will continue with Auto-calibration of the following available
kV/mA combination for the selected Focal Spot. At the end of the process it will try
to calibrate or calculate the combinations previously uncalibrated.
This message / code appears at the beginning of the Auto-calibration procedure to
confirm or leave the Auto-calibration procedure.
Exposures are inhibited momentarily because the Heat Units capacity that remain
is 40% or less
less. Wait until the X-ray
X ray Tube begins to cool and recovers the Heat Units
capacity.
Auto-calibration procedure has been cancelled after ten attempts of calibration of
the same kV / mA combination. In this case, calibrate manually the kV / mA
combinations uncalibrated.

cancelled due to “space charge” during calibration of 40 kV at any mA station for
Small Focal Spot.
Auto-calibration procedure has been successfully performed for the selected
Focal Spot.
Auto-calibration procedure is independent for each Focal Spot. If Auto-calibration
has been successful for one of the Focal Spots and aborted for the other Focal Spot,
it is only required to perform the Manual Calibration of the mA station uncalibrated
for the other Focal Spot. Enter in “Manual Calibration” mode, select each kV / mA
combination and identify the combinations that require to be manually calibrated
(these combinations keep the Filament Stand-by value as Filament Current
Number).
