1.1 LOTO Procedure for "Electrical" Power
Name of Equipment: Definium AMX 700 System
Step Lockout/Tagout Procedure
1 Prepare for shutdown of equipment by making sure you know where the system circuit breaker
and AC power plug is located, and have:
• A pair of safety glasses
• Voltage meter
• Approved AC power plug locking device
• Multiple locking device if more than one lock is to be applied, and enough personal LOTO
locks and tags for everyone in the group.
2 Notify affected personnel working in the area that lockout/tagout is being performed.
3 Bring system software safely down.
4 Shut down the Definium AMX 700 system by turning the keyswitch to OFF.
5 Place the system main circuit breaker to the OFF position.
6 Locate an approved AC power plug locking device and place on the AC power plug.
7 Attach personal LOTO lock and tag to the AC Power Plug locking device.
8 Wait 3 minutes for discharge of capacitors.
9 Remove the left side of the cover.
10 Locate the Main Chassis Ground Lug or Lugs (some models have two lugs) on the lower left side
just above the battery compartment access panel. Remove all wires connected to the ground
lugs and individually tape each one to ensure each cannot make contact with any other lug or any
other item or device.
11 Make sure the system will not turn on by turning the keyswitch ON in the upper left corner on the
console and looking for lights on the right side of the console. Turn the keyswitch to OFF after
verifying the system does not power up.
12 Make sure the voltage meter is working properly by testing it on a known live voltage (like a wall
outlet).
13 Verify electrical power has been removed by using a voltmeter and testing for voltage between
the main circuit breaker switch upper power connection and the main chassis ground lug located
on the lower left side just above the battery compartment access panel.
14 Service/repair system.
15 Notify affected personnel that LOTO devices are being removed and equipment will be re-
energized.
16 Verify the area is safe to re-energize the equipment
17 Ensure any safety guards or devices have been reinstalled.
18 Return system functions to their normal OFF state.
19 Locate the Main Chassis Ground Lug or Lugs (some models have two lugs) on the lower left side
just above the battery compartment access panel. Remove tape and reconnect to the chassis
ground lugs.
20 Remove personal LOTO lock and tag.
21 Communicate to everyone in the area that the system is about to be re-energized.

Section 2.0 - Equipment Safety- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)


A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-
sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An
electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) might not appear to be affected at all
and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device can function normally for a while, but
it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the
discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

2.1 Generating Static


The following table shows that:
• Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity.
• Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.

Relative Humidity
Event 55% 40% 10%
Walking across carpet 7,500 V 15,000 V 35,000 V
Walking across vinyl floor 3,000 V 5,000 V 12,000 V
Motions of bench worker 400 V 800 V 6,000 V
Removing bubble pack from PCB 7,000 V 20,000 V 26,500 V
Packing PCBs in foam-lined box 5,000 V 11,000 V 21,000 V

Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the
degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent
damage to electric components and accessories.
• Transport products in static-safe containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes to avoid hand
contact.
• Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or
packaging.
• Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
• When handling or touching a sensitive component or assembly, ground yourself by touching
the chassis.
• Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or
conductive foam.

Chapter 1 - Safety and Service Page 19


GE HEALTHCARE DEFINIUM AMX 700 SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
2.2 Personal Grounding Methods and Equipment
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:
• Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance in the
ground cords. To provide a proper ground, wear the strap against bare skin. The ground cord
must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or
workstation.
• Heel straps, toe straps, and boot straps can be used at standing workstations and are
compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats,
use them on both feet with a maximum of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance between the
operator and ground.
Static Shielding Protection Levels
Method Voltage
Antistatic plastic 1,500
Carbon-loaded plastic 7,500
Metallized laminate 15,000

2.3 Grounding the Work Area


To prevent static damage of components and parts in the work area:
• Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap
connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
• Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
• Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB
laminate.
• Handle components only at static-free work areas.
• Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
• Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative
surfaces.
• Keep work area free of non-conductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.

2.4 Recommended Materials and Equipment


Materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing static electricity include:
• Antistatic tape, smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors
• Conductive bins, foam, tabletop workstations with ground cord of one-megohm +/-10%
resistance, and other assembly or soldering aids.
• Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground
• ESD Field service kits
• Static awareness labels
• Wrist straps and footwear straps providing one-megohm +/-10% resistance
• Material handling packages
- Conductive plastic bags, plastic tubes and tote boxes
- Opaque shielding bags
- Transparent metallized shielding bags and shielding tubes

2.6 Wireless Connection

2.6.1 Security
There are many technologies available to counteract wireless network intrusion, but currently no
method is absolutely secure. The best strategy may be to combine a number of security measures.
There are three steps to take towards securing a wireless network:
• All wireless LAN devices need to be secured
• All users of the wireless network need to be educated in wireless network security
• All wireless networks need to be actively monitored for weaknesses and breaches
Common types of security are:
• WEP - Stands for Wired Equivalency Privacy. This encryption standard was the original
encryption standard for wireless.
• WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access. It’s an early version of the 802.11i security standard that was
developed by the WiFi Alliance to replace WEP.
• WPA2 - WiFi Alliance branded version of the final 802.11i standard. The primary enhancement
over WPA is the inclusion of the AES-CCMP algorithm as a mandatory feature. Both WPA and
WPA2 support EAP authentication methods using RADIUS servers and preshared key (PSK)
based security.
• LEAP - Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. This protocol is based on 802.1X and
helps minimize the original security flaws by using WEP and a sophisticated key management
system. This also uses MAC address authentication. LEAP is not safe from crackers. THC-
LeapCracker can be used to break Cisco’s version of LEAP and be used against computers
connected to an access point in the form of a dictionary attack.

2.6.2 Enable Wireless Network


Please refer to your site-specific wireless configuration information (i.e, screenshots...), which
GEHC provides through its Network Design & Implementation organization to customers.
1.) Open the SUIF to the Configuration TAB
2.) Select the Wireless folder icon.
3.) Press ENABLE radial button to start the wireless network services. Press DISABLE to stop the
wireless services. See Figure 4-1.
4.) Driver version 2 should always be used. As a last resort, if you are experiencing connection
problems, you can try reverting back to version 1.
5.) Choose how the Definium AMX 700 will be identified on the network: IP address or DHCP
(See Figure 4-2)
6.) Select the security type to be used for your network and press CONTINUE:
- Disable
- WEP
- WPA
- WPA2
- LEAP
- LEAP + WEP - 128 (You must also select a Key1, Key2, Key3 or Key4.)
- LEAP + WPA (If using LEAP+WPA, WPA must first be configured. Skip to
Section 2.6.3 - LEAP + WPA Configuration.)
- EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPV2
7.) Once the wireless configuration has been successfully completed, reboot the system

2.7 Product Network Filters

2.7.1 Overview
What is PNF? PNF is an acronym for Product Network Filter. It is a host based soft-
ware firewall; found on all GEHC Linux Diagnostic Imaging products
since 2005.
Why does PNF exist? It is GEHC's response to customer's need for increased product secu-
rity. PNF secures the product network interface (including remote ser-
vice) and significantly reduce the risk of virus/worm attacks on the
system.
How does it affect me? In most cases, system installation requires no extra effort or actions
by the user. However, custom network environments may require
configuration and require configuration of PNF feature.

2.7.2 Options
PNF is configured using the CSD (Common Service Desktop).

2.7.2.1 Tabs

Named Services
- Turn on common network services (i.e: telnet, ftp…).
- Can allow communication only from specific IP addresses.
- Possible to add multiple IP rules for a single service.
DICOM
* Default opens port 4006.
* Can add multiple DICOM ports.
* Accepts communication from any IP.
Other Services
* Can enable FTP, HTTP, TELNET etc.

Allowed Nodes
* Allows all communication over any port from a specified IP.
* Can have range of IP address like subnets.

2.7.2.2 Buttons
Firewall (Top Box)
- Turns firewall on and off.
- When the firewall is off, all network traffic in both directions are allowed.
- Must hit “apply” for new state to take effect.
- Used for troubleshooting.
Apply, Save and Restore
- Apply – Saves all current changes to configuration.
- Save Config – Makes a backup of current configuration.
- Restore Config – Restores last backup of configuration.
- Restore Default Config – Goes back to the factory default settings.

2.7.3 Configuration
Note: You should always perform a system reboot following modification of any of the PNF options.

2.7.3.1 System Installation


1.) The “Default” configuration for the firewall should be “On”. If “Off” is selected, set it to “On” and
click “apply”.
2.) If telnet is listed as one of the Named Services, delete that service from the list and touch the
"Apply" button on the Firewall Settings.
3.) The remaining options should remain set to the default values unless otherwise instructed by
the OnLine Center.

2.8 DICOM
Note: If the Definium AMX 700 system is configured as DHCP, IP address verification needs to be
disabled on the remote host (PACS, Printer, Worklist server) because the IP address of the
Definium AMX 700 system will keep changing so the remote host should not verify the Definium
AMX 700 system's identity based on its IP address. Failure to do so will result in failure of the
Definium AMX 700 system to communicate with the remote hosts.
Also, DICOM Storage Commitment will not work if the Definium AMX 700 system is configured as
DHCP because the remote host does not know which IP address to send the DICOM requests to.

Section 6.0
System Login (HIPPA)
Note: Usernames and passwords should only be created in conjunction with or in collaboration with the
users system administrator.

6.1 Login Feature


The login feature requires you to log in to gain access to the system and can be turned “on” or “off”
by the system administrator. How your site uses this feature depends on if your site's policies. Sites
with more than one network are referred to as Enterprise systems. Those without multiple networks
are referred to as stand-alone systems. The login feature can be used with stand-alone or
enterprise networks. Although some features are more applicable to enterprise systems.

6.1.1 Logging In and Out

6.1.1.1 Logging In
After a period of inactivity set by your administrator, a splash screen is displayed (Figure 4-27).
To login:
1.) Type in your name and password.
2.) Click [Login]

Figure 4-27 Logging In and Out of the System

Note: Logging off does not prohibit other users from logging in. Logout is designed to protect patient
privacy; not to stop approved users from logging in. When you or another user logs back in, the
system returns to its last known state.

6.1.1.2 Emergency Login


Your splash screen may or may not display the Emergency login button (2). Turning this option on
or off is set by your system administrator. When using Emergency login, you may be prompted to
enter your name.
Use Emergency login unless you have a valid account set up.

Page 74 Section 6.0 System Login (HIPPA)


GE HEALTHCARE DEFINIUM AMX 700 SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
6.1.1.3 Logging in with Admin Privileges
If you have administrator privileges, when you log in you are asked if you to perform administrative
tasks or scan (Figure 4-28). Do not click the “Enter administrator“ checkbox if you only want
to scan.

Figure 4-28 Administrative Login

6.1.1.4 Manual Logout


To force the system to log off:
1.) Move the cursor to a blank area on the screen.
2.) Right-click and select Lock Screen from the menu.

6.1.2 Understanding users and groups


Every person who has permission to use the system is a user. Users are set up by system
administrators. These administrators may be IT personnel in an enterprise environment, or a site
manager or lead tech in stand-alone environments. The administrator adds new users and assigns
the users to a group which dictates the level of privileges a person will have. For example, a person
named Sue Smith could belong to a group called technologists, radiologists, administrators, or any
combination.

6.1.3 Understanding groups and privileges


The group to which a person belongs has privileges. If you do not have an enterprise system, the
assignment of group privileges will probably be limited to those who have administrator privileges
and those who don’t. If your system is set up for enterprise login, your IT person or administrator
will be using more of the features.

4.5.4.1 Definitions
The following are important terms or concepts
- Window Center (WC): also known as Window Level (WL), controls the brightness of an
image. Typically a lower value gives a brighter image.
- Window Width (WW): controls the contrast of an image. Typically a lower value gives
more contrast.
- Look-up-Table (LUT): a table of input and output values that converts image pixel data
to some new value
- Value-of-Interest Look-up-Table (VOI-LUT): a LUT used in many modalities to convert
image pixel data into values PACS systems can display. This table of input and output
values is stored in the DICOM header as a public field. The VOI-LUT used in DX images
has an “S” shape that mimics the H&D properties of X-ray film. As the user changes WW

REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
or WC on the Definium AMX 700 system, a new VOI-LUT is calculated and saved into the
DICOM header.
- Linear LUT: a straight LUT where the input is linearly mapped to the output
- Burn-on-Send (BOS): a mode on the Definium AMX 700 system where the VOI-LUT is
applied to the pixel data and new pixel data is calculated. The new pixel data is sent in
the DICOM image without a VOI-LUT curve. Images are displayed on PACS with a Linear
LUT, WC=8192, WW=16383. BOS is configurable on the Definium workstation.
- DX vs. CR: the DICOM modality that images are sent as, either Digital X-ray (DX) or
Computed Radiography (CR)
- CR-Fallback: a mode on Definium workstations where if the PACS reject DX images,
then CR images are sent instead. This cannot be configured on the Definium workstation.
It only occurs if a PACS does not support DX modality images, or if the PACS is
configured to reject DX modality images.

4.5.4.2 PACS Test Image Features


The PACS Test Images include 9 images. The pixel data in every test image is identical. Only the
DICOM headers, annotations, and WC/WW values are slightly different for each pattern.

Each PACS Test Image consists of two aspects:


- A clinical chest image on the right side with Image Number and GE-logo Watermark
- A series of 12 vertical bands on the left side (Top 6 Dark Bands and Bottom 6 Bright
Bands)

Figure 5-18 PACS / Image Display Test Image

The 12 bands on the left side each have a different brightness. The top 6 should appear “dark” and
the bottom 6 “bright”.
Inside each band are 5 small squares with different intensities (like the 5% / 95% squares in a
SMPTE pattern). The squares provide a quantitative way to compare 2 images and report how the
PACS Test Images appear.

4.5.4.3 Testing for an Equal Number of Bands


For the Additional Tests section below, record the following for each image:

Page 96 Section 4.0 Calibration Procedures


GE HEALTHCARE DEFINIUM AMX 700 SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
a) The number of distinct bright & dark bands (based on the band intensity)
b) The number of squares visible in each band. For example, if the ramp appears as shown
in Figure 5-19:
Note: Count bands with distinct gray levels, not simply the number of bands with visible squares.

For example, if the ramp appears as:

Figure 5-19 Example of counting distinct bands and visible squares.

Then there are 2 squares in band #4, 3 squares in band #5, …, and 3 squares in band #11. There
are 4 distinct dark bands, and 6 distinct bright bands. This is because the top 3 dark bands are
indistinguishable.
Use the values in the following table to quantitatively compare images. For example, to determine
if a PACS supports GE VOI-LUTs, compare PACS Test Images #1 and #6. If the number of distinct
bands and visible squares are equal, then the PACS correctly supports VOI-LUTs.
Record the results of tests below. Provide a description of the test below the table.

2) DICOM Headers
a) View Header
* Open the PACS Test Image(s) on the PACS (Patient ID 2000002)
* View the DICOM header information - The DICOM header is often viewable on PACS
through either a menu drop down, a button, or right-clicking the image. Click
something indicating “ information ”, “ i ”, or “ header ”. Contact local IT support for
further information.
b) No-Burn Mode (PACS Test Image #1)
I.) Window Center/Width
> Window Center and Window Width tags are 0028x1050 and 0028x1051
> There should be 3 values separated by a “/”.
> The values should be WC=5226/5226/5226 and WW=2654/1990/3981.
II.) VOI-LUT Tags
> Search the DICOM header for tag 0028x3010 VOILUTSequence.
> Below this tag there should be three items 1, 2, and 3 which each have the
following 3 tags: 0028x3002LUTDescriptor, 0028x3003LUTExplanation, and
0028x3006LUTData.
> Each VOILUTSequence should have a LUTExplanation as either Normal,
Harder, or Softer.

GE HEALTHCARE DEFINIUM AMX 700 SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
III.) Record results in the Results Table in Line #5
c) Burn-on-Send Mode (PACS Test Image #6)
I.) Window Center/Width
> Window Center and Window Width tags are 0028x1050 and 0028x1051
> There should be 3 values separated by a “/”.
> The values should be WC=8192/8192/8192 and WW=16383/12288/24575.
II.) VOI-LUT Tags
> Search the DICOM header for tag 0028x3010 VOILUTSequence.
> No VOILUTSequence tag should be present. If a VOILUTSequence is present,
the image was not sent correctly. Re-send the image as Burn-on-Send.
III.) Record results in the Results Table in Line #6
3) Visible WC and WW Values
a) No-Burn Mode (PACS Test Image #1)
I.) The DICOM header of each PACS Test Image is always sent with WC/WW=5226/
2654.
II.) The values displayed on the PACS side may appear differently. This is acceptable
according to DICOM standards. The values can show up as 8192/16384, 5226/2654,
or something else. The most common and preferred implementation is to show
values of 8192/16384 on PACS.
III.) If the values do not appear as 8192/16384:
> Check that the VOI-LUT is being enabled on PACS. The VOI-LUT can often be
enabled on PACS with a drop-down menu on the image, or through hanging
protocols.
> This does not indicate that the PACS does not support VOI-LUTs. Support for
VOI-LUTs is strictly determined by the visual appearance of PACS Test Images
#1 and #6.
IV.) Record results in the Results Table in Line #7
b) Burn-on-Send Mode (PACS Test Image #6)
* PACS displays 8192/16384 for every image.
* Record results in the Results Table in Line #8
4) Image Saturation
Open the PACS Test Image #1 and check that the clinical chest area appears with no
saturation in the lung region or the abdomen region. Saturation appears as a completely flat
dark or white area. Record results in the Results Table in Line #9.
5) Reduced Dynamic Range with Burn-on-Send
The Burn-on-Send configuration causes a reduced dynamic range in the image when the user
changes the window-level of the image on PACS.

Note: The images appear identically when first viewed. The loss of dynamic range only occurs when the
user changes window-level.

a) Open the PACS Test Image #6.


b) Change the Window-Level on PACS trying to see the 5 squares in all 12 bands: A
suggested value is WC/WW=0/500 (Note: this may vary between different PACS
workstations)
c) The loss of dynamic range is most common in the top dark band. The 5 squares will not
be visible in the top dark band (#1): Record results in the Results Table in Line #10
6) Interactive Windowing

Page 100 Section 4.0 Calibration Procedures


GE HEALTHCARE DEFINIUM AMX 700 SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
PACS can apply the VOI-LUT to the image data “interactively” or non-interactively (“fixed”). In
an interactive PACS, the VOI-LUT is recalculated as the user changes the WC or WW.
In a non-interactive PACS, the VOI-LUT is applied upon initial display of the image, and the
VOI-LUT is not updated as the user changes WC or WW. Images displayed on non-interactive
PACS are displayed and behave identically as images sent as Burn-on-Send. Non-interactive
PACS can be considered as “Burn-on-Receive.” The 5 squares will not be visible in all 12
bands (esp. the top band) when the image is window-leveled.
The preferred method is an interactive VOI-LUT, e.g., Centricity. Several PACS are known to
apply the VOI-LUT as fixed, e.g., McKesson and Fuji.

a) Open the PACS Test Image #1.


b) Change the Window-Level on PACS trying to see the 5 squares in all 12 bands, especially
the top band.
A suggested value is WC/WW=2000/500 (Note: this may vary between different PACS
workstations)
c) The “fixed” VOI-LUT is commonly visible in the top dark band. The 5 squares will not be
visible in the top dark band (#1).
Record results in the Results Table in Line #11

Figure 5-22 Different PACS image display scenarios.

7) Annotation
The Definium AMX 700 system can send two types of annotations: L/R markers or custom text.
Annotations may impact image display on PACS.
a) Open the PACS Test Images #1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8
b) Check if the display of the images is identical for images #1, 4, and #5
Record results in the Results Table in Line #12
c) Check if the display of the images is identical for images #6, 7, and #8
Record results in the Results Table in Line #13
d) Review the histogram for each image
Annotations may also change what the histogram looks like for each image. The L/R
annotations are burned into the image data, and therefore appear to stretch or compress the
histogram.
8) Multiple VOI-LUTs
As indicated above, the Definium AMX 700 system is capable of sending 3 VOI-LUTs in the
DICOM header. Some PACS recognize these 3 VOI-LUTs and allow the user to change
between each VOI-LUT. The user can change VOI-LUTs on PACS by selecting Normal,
Harder, or Softer options.
a) Open PACS Test Image #3 on PACS to test the Normal/Harder/Softer options on PACS.
Record results in the Results Table in Line #14

Chapter 5 - System Calibrations Page 101


GE HEALTHCARE DEFINIUM AMX 700 SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 13 DIRECTION 5161511-100
b) Harder should cause the image to have more contrast (smaller WW).
c) Softer should cause the image to have lower contrast (larger WW).

Note: The three options on PACS, Normal/Harder/Softer, should not be confused with the same three
options on the Definium AMX 700 system. The three options on the Definium AMX 700 system
changes the values of the WW before the VOI-LUT is calculated and the image is sent to PACS.
The 9 PACS Test Images are not intended to test the three options on the Definium AMX 700
system.

9) CR-Fallback
The Definium AMX 700 system is capable of sending images as CR-modality if the PACS
cannot support or is configured to reject the DX-modality.
CR-Fallback effectively sends all images as Burn-on-Send.
This scenario should only be tested if CR-modality images are required on PACS or if the
PACS does not support DX modality images.
a) Configure the PACS to reject the DX-modality
b) Send the PACS Test Image #9
c) Open the PACS Test Image #9
d) Open the DICOM header for Image #9
* Verify that the VOI-LUT Sequence tag is not present, and
* Verify that the WC=8192/8192/8192 and WW=16383/12288/24575
Record results in the Results Table in Line #15
e) The image should appear visually identical to image #6 if CR-fallback is supported.

Section 1.0 - General Troubleshooting Tips


TRAD Detector
- Look at the LEDs. No lights are an issue. Refer to CSD screens or See 7.1.1 on page 175
for LED information.
- Check the connections (power & ethernet).
Detector Power Supply
- Look at the LEDs. No lights are an issue. Look at the cables.
- See 7.2 on page 176 for LED information.
Mobile PC
- Look at the LEDs. No lights are an issue. Look at the cables. Check the power switch is ON.
- USB cables can be plugged into any USB port. Make sure cables have strain relief.
- Check that the Hospital Network and Detector Ethernet lines are not reversed.
Monitor & Touch Screen
- Check the LEDs for power to the Monitor.
- Check the power switch is ON.
Mobile Power Supply Assembly
- Look at the LEDs. No lights are an issue. Look at the cables.
- Use the header connector.
Beetle Interface Board
- Look at the LEDs. No lights are an issue.
- Look at the cables. Serial cables and Ribbon cables could be reversed.
DVD Drive
- Some problems have been reported. The main solution is to not manually close the drive
tray.
- Selecting the “write” or “read” command from the screen will close the tray and allow
proper function.
Miscellaneous
- Existing Service Mode still works. However, the Service Switch is only accessible by
opening up the top cover.
- The Battery Test terminal strip was moved but is still functional.
- The cables replaced from Display Control Board to the AMX Controller Board will not
stretch across. However, existing AMX4+ functionality is possible if connected (Service
tool).
- Similarly, engineering has used a Parallel I/O loop-back cable to return to AMX4+ function.

for values being out of range.

1 The 24V available at this pin is taken directly off of the output of the voltage
converters. If there is a very low voltage on this pin, suspect a current overload
condition on the 24V outputs. If the output voltage is 0V, there are many causes
such as converter over-temp, input over-voltage, input under-voltage, converter
failure, etc.

2 The 12V available at this pin is taken directly off of the output of the voltage
converters. If there is a very low voltage on this pin, suspect a current overload
condition on the 12V outputs. If the output voltage is 0V, there are many causes
such as converter over-temp, input over-voltage, input under-voltage, converter
failure, etc.

3 This is taken off of the 24V fed into the Beetle Board. If there is no voltage here,
and the red IF 24V LED is illuminated, the breaker has tripped from an over-current
condition. See #1 for other possible failures.

4 This is taken off of the 24V fed into the PC. If there is no voltage here, the green
24V LED is illuminated and the red PC 24V LED is illuminated, the breaker has
tripped from an over-current condition. See #1 for other possible failures.

5 This is taken off of the 12V fed into the LCD display. If there is no voltage here, the
green 12V LED is illuminated and the red LCD 12V LED is illuminated, the breaker
has tripped from an over-current condition. See #2 for other possible failures.

6 This is taken off of the high voltage DC input to the 12V converter. If there is no
voltage on this pin when proper input voltage is present, the likely cause is the 2A
fuse is blown.

7 This is taken off of the high voltage DC output to the detector power supply. If there
is no voltage on this pin when proper input voltage is present, the likely cause is the
3A fuse is blown.

8 This is taken off of the high voltage DC input to the 24V converter. If there is no
voltage on this pin when proper input voltage is present, the likely cause is the 5A
fuse is blown.

10 This is the same line that the Beetle board gets to know whether or not the AMX
keyswitch is on. This signal is an inversion of the keyswitch, so if the keyswitch is
on, the voltage on this pin should be 0VDC. This is assuming that the AMX LVLE
or the Roadster PSA itself is active and supplying 24V. If the AMX is running
normally with the PC booted into digital mode and the keyswitch is turned off, the
Beetle board should shut down the PC before turning off power. However, if the
Beetle board does not see the keyswitch signal that this line is showing, it will think
the keyswitch is on and not keep the Roadster PSA active while the PC shuts down,
so the Roadster PSA will turn off and not allow the computer to be shut down
properly. If this occurs, check this line to make sure the proper voltage is present
when the keyswitch is on.

11 This is the signal that the Beetle board sends to the Roadster PSA to tell it to stay
alive even if the keyswitch is off. When 24V is present on this line, the Roadster
PSA should be active (assuming the AMX LVLE is working properly)

12 This signal shows the status of the detector park switch. If the detector is parked,
i.e. the switch is on, the voltage will be 24V. If the detector is not parked or the
switch is off, the voltage will be 0V.

- Type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the systems IP address.
- Type ping yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the hospitals router IP address
(NOTE: there may or may not be a default router address – this would be site specific).
- Type ping zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz where zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz is an IP address of another networked
device on the hospital network.
• Use Service laptop, configure service laptop Network Interface Card (NIC) for an appropriate
address (e.g. if systems IP address is configured for 192.168.120.5, configure the service
laptop for 192.168.120.6 as an example).
• Unplug the Network cable from the hospital network jack and plug this end of the network jack
to the Service laptop.
• From the system attempt to ping the Service laptop:
- Type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Service laptop.

If all above fail except for pinging between the system and the Service laptop, there may be an issue
with logical networking information or the hospital-networking infrastructure. Please verify hospital
network infrastructure with site contact.
