3.2 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.

3.4 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).

3. Configure Jumpers from JP1 to JP8 and from JP13 to JP16 according to
the group of Ion Chamber type:

JUMPERS POSITION
ION CHAMBER TYPE
JP3, JP4, JP7, JP8 JP1, JP2, JP5, JP6 JP13, JP14, JP15, JP16

IC1 = IC2 = IC3 = IC4 B B B

IC1 = IC2 = IC3 B B A

IC1 = IC2 B A A

IC1 ≠ IC2 ≠ IC3 ≠ IC4 A A A

4. 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.

Configure Jumpers from JP9 to JP12 and turn ON the Generator only to
adjust the following Potentiometers (if needed) according to the Ion
Chamber output:

JUMPERS POSITION
ION CHAMBER OUTPUT
JP9 (IC1) JP10 (IC2) JP11 (IC3) JP12 (IC4)

SECTION 4 FINAL INSTALLATION AND CHECKS

4.1 HV TRANSFORMER

This point does not apply to the hermetic HV Transformers


(black aluminium HV Transformers).

Ventilation Screw
The HV Transformer contains “Shell Diala AX” oil. Check that there is no oil
leakage. If leakage is found, remove the oil fill plug from the top of the HV
Transformer and verify that the oil level is within 20 mm (3/4”) from the top of
the HV Transformer. Add “Shell Diala AX” oil if necessary.

Unscrew the Ventilation Screw from the top of the HV Transformer.

4.2 CABLE FASTENING AND COVERS

Note . Before re-installing cabinet covers, perform the rest of the required
Calibration procedures (a.e. AEC).

Check that all electrical connections are firm and secure. Cables should be
correctly routed. (Refer to Section 3.1)

In order to avoid signal interferences, it is strongly


recommended to fold and fasten close to the Generator
Cabinet the portion of cables not routed (see picture below).
Never wrap in circles.

YES NO

Re-install the Cabinet covers and connect its internal ground wires. Power line,
High Voltage and Interconnections cables must go through the cover cable
outlet.

SECTION 5 SYSTEM INTERCONNECTIONS

5.1 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.

Table 5-1
System Interconnection Signals

SIGNAL NAME SIGNAL DESCRIPTION

AUX BUCKY SPLY External voltage supply required for the Bucky motion, when this voltage is not +24 VDC.

--BUCKY 1 DR CMD A low signal to the Interface Control Board as a command to output a Bucky-1 (normally the Table Bucky) drive signal.

--BUCKY 1 MOTION This low going signal from Bucky-1 indicates Bucky-1 motion, and therefore the exposure is enabled.

BUCKY 1 DR This signal is originated from the Bucky supply of the Power Module when an exposure order. It starts the Bucky.

--BUCKY 2 DR CMD A low signal to the Interface Control Board as a command to output a Bucky-2 (normally the Vertical Bucky Stand) drive signal.

--BUCKY 2 MOTION This low going signal from Bucky-2 indicates Bucky-2 in motion, and therefore the exposure is enabled.

BUCKY 2 DR This signal is originated from the Bucky supply of the Power Module when an exposure order. It starts the Bucky.

--BUCKY EXP This low going (0 volts) signal starts the Bucky exposure. The signal originates on the Interface Board

BUCKY SPLY Voltage supply required for the Bucky drive command.

C--HT CLK Serial data clock to the HT Control Board. This clock synchronizes the C--HT DATA signal.

C--HT DATA Serial data to the HT Control Board. This data is synchronous with the C--HT CLK signal.

This active low signal indicates that NO EXPOSURE HOLD condition exists at the Collimator. This input is read only when the
--COLLIMATOR
Radiographic Tube is selected.

--DOOR This low signal is the interlock for the Door of the X-ray room.

System Interconnection Signals

SIGNAL NAME SIGNAL DESCRIPTION

--FLD1 DR A low signal to select the right field in the Ion Chamber.

--FLD2 DR A low signal to select the left field in the Ion Chamber.

--FLD3 DR A low signal to select the center field in the Ion Chamber.

HT--C CLK Serial data clock from the HT Control Board. This clock synchronizes the HT--C DATA signal.

HT--C DAT Serial data from the HT Control Board. This data is synchronous with the HT--C CLK signal.

This signal is low when the switch in the high voltage transformer is in the RAD position. This is a safety interlock which
--HT INL
prevents an exposure if the high voltage switch (in the HV Transformer) is in the wrong position.

This analogic signal (originates in the optional AEC Control Board) controls the output of the HV Power Supply on the Interface
HV PT CRL
Control Board. +5 volts programs the output to be 0 volts, and 0 volts programs the output to approximately --1200 volts.

IC GND GND for the IC SPLY.

IC1 INPUT This input is the output of the Bucky 1 Ion Chamber (normally the Table Ion Chamber).

IC2 INPUT This input is the output of the Bucky 2 Ion Chamber (normally the Vertical Bucky Stand Ion Chamber).

IC3 INPUT This input is the output of the Spot Film Ion Chamber.

IC SPLY Power supply for the Ion Chamber. This output should be within the range of 500 to 800 volts.

--LINE CONT A low signal energizes the main line contactor K5 in the Power Module.

Commands to the HT Control Board to boost X-ray Tube Filament to the value of mA selected and to start the X-ray Tube Rotor
--PREP
is RAD Tube is selected.

This low going signal indicates the system is ready to make an exposure (Prep cycle complete). This signal is used to interface
--READY
to certain peripheral devices such as Film Changers, etc.

This low going signal indicates the X-ray preparation or exposure. This signal is used to interface to the Room X-ray warning
--ROOM LIGHT
light.

--STRT DR A low signal to indicate the start of an exposure to the Ion Chamber.

--THERMOSTAT-1 This signal from X-ray Tube indicates the overheat of the Tube-1.

--THERMOSTAT-2 This signal from X-ray Tube indicates the overheat of the Tube-2.

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).

The system configuration and test switches are:

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.

• 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.

Note . 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.

1. Turn the Generator OFF and note current settings of the dip switch
3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board.

Note . Configuration of these times are only allowed when dip switch
3000SW2-1 is in “Closed” (On) position after power the Generator
OFF and back ON again.

3.4 ANODE ROTATION TEST

Perform the following tests for each X-ray Tube in the installation, checking the
low and high speed when it is required.

Note . Two people are needed for these tests, one at the Console and the
service engineer looking at the anode of the X-ray Tube. These
tests also can be done by hearing the sound of the anode rotating.

NEVER MAKE EXPOSURES DURING THE TESTS, THE


PERSON CLOSE TO THE X-RAY TUBE WILL BE EXPOSED.

1. With the switch 3024SW2-3 on the ATP Console CPU Board in “On”
position (service mode), turn the Console ON and select the
corresponding X-ray Tube.

2. Select a low value for kVp and mAs for checking the Anode Rotation at
Low Speed.

3. Press the “Prep” push-button and visually check that the Tube anode
rotates in the proper way. (Refer to the X-ray Tube documentation).

4. Hold pressed the “Prep” push-button and check that the rotation speed
of the Tube anode is in compliance with the X-ray Tube specifications.

For this test is recommended to turn off the Tube filaments (switch
3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller in “On” position) and use a stroboscope
to measure the anode speed.

5. Release the “Prep” push-button.

6. For Generators with LV-DRAC, select a high value for kVp and mAs for
checking the Anode Rotation at High Speed. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.

7. If required for the second Tube, repeat this procedure.

FROM 3300 RPM FROM 10000 RPM

1.2 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).

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

This Calibration document provides information and procedures to perform all


the adjustments required to establish an optimal performance of this Generator.

Calibrate the Generator immediately after Configuration is


completed.

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.

Calibration data is entered in digital form and stored in a non-volatile memory


chip (U3-EEPROM) located on the HT Controller Board, thus no battery
back-up is required.

SECTION 2 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

Note . 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:

• 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).

Note . 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)

• Verify that dip switch 3024SW2-3 on the ATP Console CPU Board is in
“On” position to permit the service mode.

CA-1036R2 3
HF Series Generators
Calibration

• Verify position of dip switches on the HT Controller Board during every


calibration procedure:

DIP SWITCH OPEN (OFF) CLOSED (ON)

Disables Filament and Rotor Interlocks


Position during operation -- Enables Filament and
3000SW2-2 (this turns off the filament so no radiation will
Rotor Interlocks
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).

2.1 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
Dose Rate. (Refer to Section 2.7 “Fluoro Calibration”).

2.2 EXPOSURE TIME ADJUSTMENT

The values stored in these Extended Memory Locations only affect to Exposure
Times for techniques below 20 ms. The Memory Locations which affect short
exposure times are:

MEMORY LOCATION
FUNCTION
TUBE-1 TUBE-2

EXPOSURE TIME ADJUSTMENT - DELAY E13 E29

EXPOSURE TIME ADJUSTMENT - Ceq kV E15 E31

The generator has been optimized at the factory to produce correct exposures
at the lower times (<20 ms.) Therefore do not change the value factory set for
E13 and E29 Memory Locations and only adjust the value for E15 and E31
Memory Location according to the HV Cables length.

The Exposure Time adjustment is calibrated by performing the following steps:

1. Enter in calibration mode by pressing the “Manual Calibration” button on


the GSM Program. Select an available workstation (WS) and press the
“OK” button.

2. Select the E13 (or E29) Memory Location. Value in this Memory Location
adjusts the time delay of the exposure. It is factory set for a value of 17,
18 or 19 (default value is “18”). Only read this value, do not change it.

3. Select the E15 (or 31) Memory Location. Value in this Memory Location
is set in relation to the length in meters of one of the HV Cables
(1 ft = 0.3048 m). Verify the HV Cable length in meters and set the
following value:

HV CABLE LENGTH VALUE TO SET IN MEMORY

4m 27

6m 31

9m 38

12 m 45

14 m 49

16 m 54

For another HV Cable length value = (2.2711 x cables length) + 17.744

4. Store the value of each Memory Location by pressing the “Store” button
of the calibration panel.

5. Exit from calibration mode and record the new values in the Data Book.

6. Repeat the above calibration process for the second tube (memory
locations E29 and E31).

2.3 KV LOOP

Extended Memory Location E06 contains the calibration factor for kV Loop.
Each number above or below of the indicated in the E06 memory location
increases or decreases respectively the kV gain value.

Note . Value in E06 Memory Location is only related to the Generator


performance (it is not related to the X-ray Tube(s) or another
components installed), so value in this Memory Location is
factory adjusted. Only perform this procedure if the HT Controller
Board and/or HV Transformer have been replaced in the unit.

The kV Gain for kV Loop can be manually calibrated with a Non-Invasive kV


Meter (recommended procedure) or Auto-calibrated with HV Bleeder.

2.4 DIGITAL mA LOOP CLOSED

Extended Memory Locations E03 and E05 contain the calibration factor for
Digital mA Loop Closed. Each number above or below the indicated in the
Memory Locations increases or decreases respectively the mA gain value.

Note . Values in E03 and E05 Memory Locations are only related to the
Generator performance (they are not related to the X-ray Tube
installed), so values in these Memory Locations are factory
adjusted. Only perform this procedure if the HT Controller Board
and/or HV Transformer have been replaced in the unit.

The mA Gain for Digital mA Loop Closed is calibrated by performing the


following steps:

1. With the Generator power OFF, set:

G Dip switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in “Off” position


(enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G Dip switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in “On” position


(Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant).

G Remove the link between the banana plug connections on the HV


Transformer. Connect the mAs Meter to the banana plug

2.5 DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN (X-RAY TUBE CALIBRATION)

To achieve the most accurate calibration, this procedure has to be


automatically performed by the Generator (Auto-calibration). Calibration
procedure will be manually performed by the field engineer only if
Auto-calibration is not possible.

Two different methods are described in this section: Auto-calibration and


Manual Calibration.

Digital mA Loop Open is calibrated by performing the following steps:

1. With the Generator power OFF, set:

G Dip switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in “Off” position


(enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G Dip switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in “On” position


(Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant).

2. Turn the Generator ON.

3. Perform the Auto-calibration procedure as described in Section 2.5.1 for


each X-ray Tube in the system.

2.5.1 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.

16 CA-1036R2
HF Series Generators
Calibration

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
previously configured as “Direct”.

3. Select the Small Focal Spot by pressing the “Small” button and then
press the “OK” button.

Confirm or leave the Auto-calibration by pressing the respective button


(“Yes” or “No”) on the new screen.

4. Confirm or leave the Auto-calibration (second confirmation) by pressing


the respective button (“Confirm” or “Dismiss”) on the calibration screen.

5. Auto-calibration is activated when the “Auto Calibration” button is lighted


and the “Press Prep and Expose” message appears on the screen. At
this moment, the Generator has checked the mA stations available for
the Small Focal Spot.

HF Series Generators
Calibration

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. Keep fully pressed the Handswitch button to perform continuous


exposures.

Note . 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.

CA-1036R2 19
HF Series Generators
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%.

9. After performing both procedures (for Small and Large Focal Spots),
enter in “Manual Calibration” mode and select each combination of the
available mA stations for each Focal Spot at the kV break points (40, 50,
80 and 120 kV). Press the “Read” button to read on the calibration panel
the new value of the Filament Current Number stored for each
combination and record the new values in the Data Book.

Note that the highest mA station for Small Focal Spot may have numbers
larger than the lowest mA station for Large Focal Spot. This is normal.

10. Exit from calibration mode.

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).

2.5.2 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.

1. With the Generator power OFF, set:

G Dip switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in “Off” position


(enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G Dip switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in “On” position


(Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant).

G Remove the link between the banana plug connections on the HV


Transformer. Connect the mAs Meter to the banana plug
connections to measure mA or mAs.

2. Turn the Generator ON and enter in calibration mode by pressing the


“Manual Calibration” button on the GSM menu.

3. 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”.

4. 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.

Note which combinations in Table 2-1 can not be calibrated by making


exposures (combinations not allowed due to Tube rating, maximum
Generator power, space charge, etc.) and the Exposure Time assigned
to these combinations in calibration mode.

6. Enter in user mode inside calibration mode by pressing the “Go to User
Mode” button. Select the mA station and Exposure Time of each kV / mA
combination not allowed. Increase or decrease the kV value as required
to determine the kV value allowed nearest to the kV value of the
combination. Note the kV value allowed in the respective cell of
Table 2-1.

7. Exit from the “User Mode” screen by pressing the “Manual Calibration”
button. Select 80 kV and lowest mA station available (first combination
available). Enter a Filament Number of “344” for this combination.

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
increased in 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.

10. Complete the calibration process for all mA stations at 80 kV as


described before. When select the first mA station for the Large Focal
Spot, enter as a filament number the value calibrated for the first mA
station for the Small Focal Spot. Note that the highest mA station for
Small Focal Spot may have numbers larger than the lowest mA station
for Large Focal Spot. This is normal.

Press the “Read” button to read on the calibration panel the new value
of the Filament Current Number stored for each mA station at 80 kV.
Record the new values in the Data Book.

Note . When highest mA stations of the Generator can not be calibrated


at 80 kV due to insufficient filament current (the filament current
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).

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
calibration points as needed.

Note . If “Tube Overload” error is shown directly after selection of an


allowed combination (refer to step-5.), wait until the X-ray tube
anode cools down to permit the calibration of the mA station.

13. Recalculate the values of the non-allowed combinations in accordance


to the new values obtained by exposures. (Refer to Table 2-1).

2.6 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.

2.6.1 PREVIOUS CHECKS

Make sure the automatic processor works correctly, and the concentration and
temperature of the solutions comply with manufacturer specifications.

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).

3. Determine gamma (γ) by the formula:


d(f2) − d(f1)
γ= mAs(f2)
log 10 mAs(f1)

Gamma (γ) must be between 2 and 3, if not change or renew solutions.

2.6.5 PHOTOMULTIPLIER RAD--AEC (DIGITAL RAD) ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL)

The Photomultiplier RAD--AEC adjustment can be performed in two ways: one


is the value stored in E23 Memory Location and the other is the high voltage
applied to the Photomultiplier Tube.

The recommended procedure for this adjustment is to store a constant value


in E23 Memory Location and adjust the high voltage applied to the
Photomultiplier Tube.

Note . Value in E23 Memory Location is a common data used for


Photomultiplier AEC Calibration or used for the Fourth Ion
Chamber Calibration (AEC-4).

Perform the following procedure:

1. Enter in “Manual Calibration” mode selecting a Workstation configured


for DSI. Select E23 Memory Location and set a value of “127”. Then enter
in user mode by pressing the “Go to User Mode” button.

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. Select the Field of View
for the Image Intensifier to have 9” FOV.

Place the Tube-Collimator Assembly at the normal SID (1 meter).


Collimate the X-ray beam so it completely covers the Image Intensifier
field but does not extend beyond limits of the phantom.

3. Place 2 mm of Copper (or equivalent homogeneous phantom) in the


Collimator Filter Holder. (1 mm Copper ≃ 10 cm Plexiglass or Water).

4. Select on the Console:

applied to the Photomultiplier Tube with the potentiometer R12 for Board
A3012--x1/x2/x5 or R23 for Board A3012--x6/x7/x9 on the AEC Control
Board until measure --400 VDC between TS1--39 and TS1--42 (GND) in
the Generator Cabinet.

6. The Dose is affected in the following manner:

G Increases when the high voltage applied to the Photomultiplier


Tube is decreased. (Example: if 100 μR Dose is obtained with
--400 VDC, 200 μR Dose may be obtained decreasing the high
voltage to --300 VDC).

G Decreases when the high voltage applied to the Photomultiplier


Tube is increased. (Example: if 100 μR Dose is obtained with --400
VDC, 50 μR Dose may be obtained increasing the high voltage to
--450 VDC).

7. Make an exposure and adjust the following potentiometer on the AEC


Control Board: R12 for Board A3012--x1/x2/x5 or R23 for Board
A3012--x6/x7/x9 on the AEC Control Board; until getting a Dose around
100 μR per frame (at 9” FOV) (for more information refer to the Image
System documentation).

Note . If the photo tube voltage required is too low, decrease the AEC
calibration number in the E23 Memory Location and repeat the
process.

8. Record the E23 Memory Location in the Data Book.

2.6.6 AEC OPTICAL DENSITY SCALE

AEC is calibrated with “Density 0” selected (Normal Optical Density). The


Optical Density can be increased or decreased in several steps.

The variation percentage of the density scale is factory set at 25%. This
variation can be set according to the customer preferences by changing the
value stored in E12 Memory Location. This value applies to both tubes.

Depending on the Console model, the range of the scale is “from --2 to +2” or
“from --4 to +4” (optional ).

The following tables show some examples for the variation percentage of the
density scale with reference to the value stored in E12 Memory Location.

2.7 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.

FUNCTION MEMORY LOCATIONS

Fluoro Filament Setting E17

Maximum Fluoro kV E19

Fluoro mA Display Calibration at 50 kV E25

Fluoro mA Display Calibration at 80 kV E26

Fluoro mA Display Calibration at 120 kV E27

The functions of these extended Memory Locations are:

• E17 is used to store data that controls the Maximum Skin Dose Radiation
at the following maximum levels (Regulation limits) (1 Rad = 8.7 mGy).

G 5 R/min (43.5 mGy/min) for systems working with Manual mode


(Non-ABC).

G 10 R/min (87 mGy/min) for systems working with Automatic mode


(ABC).

Note that in practice, the rejection limits for entrance exposure rate must
be somewhat less than the maximum specified due to Dosimeter
calibration accuracy. (Refer to Table 2-2.)

• 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.

Note . 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).

3. Enter in “Manual Calibration” mode through a Fluoro workstation and


read the Filament Number at 120 kV / 10 mA. Divide this value by four
(4) and enter it as starting value for E17 Memory Location (Fluoro
Filament Setting).

4. Select E19 Memory Location and set the maximum Fluoro kV at 120 kV
or more if it is possible.

5. Enter in user mode inside calibration mode by pressing the “Go to User
Mode” button and select the Fluoro Menu.

6. Select the maximum PPS and Non-ABC mode. Make a Fluoro exposure
at maximum kV that will be used in the system and measure the dose
applied, it should not be over the Rejection Limits for 10 R/min
(87 mGy/min) or 5 R/min (43.5 mGy/min) (refer to Table 2-2.).

In case that the value is not acquired, change the Fluoro Filament Setting
stored in E17 as required until it is correctly calibrated to that dose. Keep
in mind that radiation increases or decreases in accordance to value in
E17 is increased or decreased.

7. The mA values displayed during Fluoro exposures are stored in E25, E26
and E27 Memory Locations. The method used to obtain the Fluoro mA
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


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.

Select the maximum PPS and Non-ABC mode. Make the following
Fluoro exposures:

G Make a Fluoro exposure at 50 kV and take note below the mA


reading, this value will be used as Fluoro mA at minimum kV (E25).

G Make a Fluoro exposure at 80 kV and take note below the mA


reading, this value will be used as Fluoro mA at medium kV (E26).

through two ways: Photomultiplier Tube or TV Camera.

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.

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).

Adjust the ABC system for Photomultiplier Tube as follow:

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. Adjust TV Camera gain for 1 volt peak-to-peak composite video output.

4. Select the maximum PPS and Non-ABC mode.

5. Place 2 mm of Copper (or equivalent homogeneous phantom) in the


Collimator Filter Holder.

6. Calculate the value of the optimum radiation (that will give optimum
brightness) usually is 2μR/frame at 9” FOV (for more information refer to
Image System documentation).

Examples:
For 25 frame/second optimum radiation 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 radiation 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 radiation 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 two or by the value specified
as Grid Absorption Factor.

7. Make a Fluoro exposure at 70 kV and measure the radiation. Optimum


radiation is obtained by modifying the Fluoro kV or the Copper thickness
in the Collimator Filter Holder. First modify the Fluoro kV, if it is more than
80 kV or less than 60 kV modify the Copper thickness in 0.1 mm (or
0.2 mm). Note the value of Fluoro KV and Copper thickness used to
obtain the optimum radiation.

Note . Radiation increases when kV is increased or Copper thickness is


reduced.

8. Perform the following adjustments in the AEC Control Board:

a. Adjust R13 in order to obtain 6 VDC on TP3 (ABC IN).

b. Select 70 kV (or the kV obtained in step-7.) and increase 2 kV and


check the increased value of voltage in TP3 (ABC-IN) (if this value
has not been increased, increase 1 kV more). Note this value
(consider it as KV-DOWN-SEL).

c. Select 70 kV (or the kV obtained in step-7.) and decrease 2 kV and


check the decreased value of voltage in TP3 (ABC-IN) (if this value
has not been decreased, decrease 1 kV more). Note this value
(consider it as KV-UP-SEL).

d. Obtain in TP1 the same voltage noted as kV-DOWN-SEL


(DOWN PT) by adjusting the Potentiometer R11.

e. Obtain in TP2 the same voltage noted as kV-UP-SEL (UP PT) by


adjusting the Potentiometer R14.

9. Select 70 kV (or the kV obtained in step-7.) and ABC mode.

10. Make a Fluoro exposure and check that the kV does not change.

11. 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-7.)
±2 kV without System problems.

12. 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-7.)

2.8.2 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.

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

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.

The ATP Console CPU Board operates from a 12 VDC Non-Regulated Supply
located in the Generator Cabinet that supplies to a 5 VDC Switching Regulator
located in the ATP Console CPU Board.

Turn the Generator ON and with a Digital Multimeter measure between:

• TS1-30 (GND) and TS1-29 (+12 V Unr.) on the Generator Cabinet.


Check that the voltage at this point is +12 ±1.5 VDC.

• TP GND and TP +5 on the ATP Console CPU Board. Check that the
voltage at this point is +5 ±0.2 VDC.

Note . No adjustments are required for both voltage measures. The ATP
Console CPU Board may be located inside the Console or inside
the Generator Cabinet.

2.2 MICROPROCESSORS AND GENERAL OPERATION

The following LEDs indicate the proper operation of each Microprocessor in the
Generator:

• The LED DS1 located on the HT Controller Board blinks fast during
power up, then slows to a steady blink of about 2 per second, indicating
that the Microprocessor U5 is operating normally.

• The LED DS2 located on the ATP Console CPU Board normally blinks
at the same rate as LED DS1 on the HT Controller Board, indicating that
the Console Microprocessor U30 is operating correctly.

• The LED DS1 located on the Fluoro CPU Board only blinks in Fluoro
mode indicating that the Fluoro Microprocessor is operating correctly.

Also observe the following LEDs to facilitate general troubleshooting:

• When LED DS1 located on the Interface Control Board is ON (lighting),


it indicates that the Generator is ON.

• The LED DS1 located on the ATP Console CPU Board is normally ON
(lighting), indicating that the Watch-Dog Timer of the Console is
operating and insuring the correct timing of data communications with
the HT Controller Board.

2.3 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).

2.4 PROCEDURES RELATED TO THE PUSH-BUTTON CONSOLES

2.4.1 APR OPERATION

APR techniques are factory pre-programmed to standard techniques sets. All


parameters of APR techniques may be manually rewritten as required by the
operator and stored in the ”APR working file” for later use (refer to the respective
Operator Manual).

Note . This section only applies to Consoles equipped with Anatomical


Programmer (APR).

2.4.2 APR RE-INITIALIZATION

The APR re-initialization makes a new copy of the factory pre-programmed


parameters of the APR techniques in the U23-NVRAM of the ATP Console CPU
Board.

APR re-initialization set the APR techniques only for the selected workstation.

To re-initialize the APR techniques, exit the APR mode and press
simultaneously the push-buttons 5-6-7-8 on the APR module. (Refer to
Illustration 2-2).

The APR re-initialization deletes all the APR parameters and


related selections previously modified and stored by the
operator for both X-ray Tubes.

2.4.3 APR BACKUP

The APR backup makes a copy of the parameters and selections of the APR
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.

To restore the APR techniques, turn the Console ON and with the APR mode
OFF press simultaneously the push-buttons 4-7-8 of the APR module. (Refer
to Illustration 2-2).

SECTION 3 SELF-DIAGNOSIS INDICATORS

Some Console are provided with Self-Diagnosis indicators that identify a


malfunction in the system alerting operator about error existence that inhibits
exposure. During normal operation of the system, these indicators are directly
shown on the Console (depending on the Console model they can be shown
on the APR Display, Console Indicators, Warning Messages Area, etc).

DOOR OPEN: Indicates the X-ray room door is open when the X-ray equipment
is in use. (Also refer to Error Code “E35”).
DOOR

GENERATOR OVERLOAD: Indicates that the exposure has been interrupted


because during exposure has been produced arcing or bad function on the HV
G.OVL
circuitry (X-ray Tube, HV Transformer and/or HV Cables) or a failure of IGBT
module (overheated or defective IGBTs) has been detected. (Also refer to Error
Code “E09”).
It can be also shown making a high power and long exposure with the X-ray tube
cool (X-ray Tube has not been warmed-up).

TUBE OVERLOAD: Indicates that either the technique selected is beyond the
X-ray tube ratings or the present conditions of the X-ray tube inhibit the
T.OVL exposure (anode overheated). Parameters for next exposure may be
temporally limited by the Generator (change the exposure values or wait for the
X-ray tube to cool). (Also refer to Error Code “E37”).
Check that heat units available are lower than the calculated for the next
exposure. Reduce exposure factors or wait for the X-ray tube to cool.

ROTOR ERROR: Indicates that the X-ray tube anode is not rotating while
“Prep” is active, then exposures are inhibited. (Also refer to Error Code “E18”).
ROTOR

HEAT: Indicates that the X-ray Tube thermostat / pressurestat is open due to
overheating of the tube housing (housing is too hot, wait for the housing to cool)
HEAT or to a thermostat / pressurestat mal-function (housing is cool). Heat units may
raise to any value. (Also refer to Error Code “E36”).

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:


G If “09” or “Generator Overload” appears follow procedure in paragraph B (Inverter Module
Test).
G If not, follow step-3.

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.

6. Repeat the measurements done in point 5 for the other IGBT.

Note . 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:


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).

Note . 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).

1. Connect the scope as follows:


G CH.1 on + mA (TP14) on HT Controller Board.
G CH.2 on - mA (TP13) on HT Controller Board.
G Base Time in 10 ms per division and 1 V per division

2. Turn ON mains and Generator. Set Dip-switch 3000SW2-4 in ON position at the HV Controller
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
with oil.

6. On the HT Controller Board, make a jumper FIL (TP8) and + 5 V (TP2).

7. Turn ON mains and Generator. Select 50 kVp, 50 mA and 50 ms.

8. Connect the scope as following:


G CH.1 on + kV (TP11) on HT Controller Board.
G CH.2 on --kV (TP12) on HT Controller Board.
G Base time in 10 msec. per division and 2 V per division.

9. Make an Exposure and check that both waveforms are symmetric.

10. Make exposures from 50 kVp to 110 kVp with the same Exposure Time and check that all kVp
waveform are symmetric and the values are similar according the table below.

TP11 & TP12


Select on the HT Controller
(Compact Generators)

50 kVp 2.1 V

TR-1005R4 39
HF Series Generators
Troubleshooting

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:


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).
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.

Troubleshooting

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 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.
7. For High Speed Generators:
G 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.

ERROR CODE : E13

DESCRIPTION : No kVp during exposure or kVp out of tolerance.


ERROR TYPE : Informative. May abort exposition.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators
APPEARS WHEN : During and after exposures.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : No kVp during exposure.

POSIBLE CAUSES

Note . This error assumes that the fault is not on the IGBT and is not due to arcing in the
X-ray Tube.

Defective HV Transformer.
Defective HT Controller Board.
Defective IPM Driver Boards.
Poor connection on the IPM Driver Boards.

ACTIONS
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.
5. If kVp value and time is OK and “E13” appears, check that for software version V3 and up the
Dip-switches of A3024SW3 are all in OFF position at ATP Console Board.

Troubleshooting

ACTIONS
A. THERE IS NOT SUPPLY IN FILAMENT BOARD, OR POOR CONNECTION ON THE
CATHODE HV CABLE, OR DEFECTIVE FILAMENT TRANSFORMER, OR DEFECTIVE HV
SWITCH.

Note . For Generators with two tubes:


- if the error appears in both tubes, go to step 1.
- if the error appears in only one tube, interchange HV Cables.
- if error remains when selecting the same tube from Console, replace HV
Transformer, if does not appear go to step 8.

1. Check through the X-ray tube window if the selected filament is On. Check both circuits to detect
which one is causing the error code.
2. If none lit when selected, check in the DC output on the BR1 rectifier (324 Dc approx.) or input
voltage (220 VAC approx.). If input voltage is OK and output voltage is not OK, replace rectifier.
If it is OK go to step 3.
3. Check if the Led’s DS1 and DS2 are ON in the Filament Board. If they are not, replace the Board.
4. If everything is OK, check DC voltage between P2-4 and P2-1 (324 DC approx.). If not enough
voltage detected, review circuit between BR1 and T2 transformer. Replace Filament Board if
defective.
5. If it is OK, check the AC voltage between pin 4 on connector P3 on Filament Board Fil. Sup.) and
pins 15 or 16 (depending on filament selection) on connector P4 on Interface Control Board. The
range should be between 90 and 200 VAC.
6. If not, check voltage in Pin 17 of connector P4 at Interface Control Board and Pin 4 of connector
P3 at Filament Board, also Check P14and 14 of connector P4. If not, replace the Interface Control
Board.
7. If it is OK, check continuity between HV Transformer connector and Interface Board.
8. If it is OK, check continuity of HV Cable connector (between common C and S (Small Focus)
and between common C and L (Large focus). The OHM value should be very low in both cases
( 0.01 approx.)
9. If it is OK, replace the HV Transformer. If it is not OK, check all connections from HV Cable to
the tube. Replace cable if necessary.
10. If HV Cable is OK, check tube filaments. Replace Tube if necessary.

If this is the case, charge Batteries and perform exposures until the batteries are totally discharged,
then charge again and perform exposures again to discharge, repeat the procedure 5 or 6 times. This
is the way to charge batteries fully and safe.

B. BATTERIES FULLY CHARGED AND “E25” APPEARS


1. Check Corrosion in metal contacts of Batteries.
2. Check charger Leds on Battery Charger. Green Leds and LED DS1 should be ON.
3. Check voltage in J1 of Battery Charger Board: J1-16 & J1-15, J1-14 & J1-13...... , J1-2 & J1-1.
• With Generator OFF and disconnected from Mains, the voltage to be found is: 26.6 VDC.
• With Stand-Alone mode, disconnected the Generator from Mains and with the Generator turned
On, the voltage should be: 25.4 VDC.
G If voltage is not OK, check the batteries status and replace defective batteries if needed
(refer to Section 2.6.2 - Identifying and Replacing Defective Batteries).
G If total voltage is correct and E25 appears, check the measure circuit.
-- In Generators with Stand-Alone check links between J1-18 (HT Controller) & J3-5
(Stand-Alone), J1-19 (HT Controller) & J3-6 (Stand-Alone), J1-20 (HT Controller) &
J3-7 (Stand-Alone). If links are OK and batteries voltage is OK but signals are below
minimum required (that is --BATST3 is “0”, BATST2 is “0” and BATST1 is “1”), check
HT Controller Board and Stand-Alone Board, replace the defective Board found.
-- For Generators without Stand-Alone check that signal -BAT FAULT at P5-2 of
HT Control Board is at “High Level”.
If -BAT FAULT is at “High Level”, replace HT Controller Board.
If -BAT FAULT is at “Low Level”, check J2-2 in Battery Charger Board. If not “Low
Level” replace cable. If “Low Level“ replace the Battery Charger Board.

G If Line VAC is not OK, it is an external problem.
G If Line VAC is OK, review the Line Monitor Board adjustment.

Line Monitor Board Adjustment: Configure SW1 at Line Monitor Board according to
Power Line Voltage (refer to Installation chapter in Service Manual). Measure the Power
Line Voltage with a Digitalmeter and adjust VDC in TP2 with POT1 at Line Monitor Board
as per the following formula:
V measured V(measured:220V)
× 2.5 = VTP2 Example: × 2.5 = VTP2(2.4VDC)
V nominal V (nominal:230V)

V measured is the real voltage obtained with polymeter.


V nominal is the SW1 configuration Voltage.

If all Leds are off at Line Monitor Board:


• Check VAC in J2-1 / J2-2 at Line Monitor Board.
G If VAC is OK, review configuration of Jumper SW1.
G If VAC is not OK, check (Magnetothermic ) 1SW1 is ON and external VAC power.

costs (down time, repairs, etc.) and to assure the safety (personal risk).

The following checks and maintenance procedures, together with the


suggested intervals, are the manufacturer’s recommendation for the most
effective Periodic Maintenance schedule for this Generator.

Service tasks here described must be performed exclusively by service


personnel specifically trained on medical X-ray Generators.

The first Periodic Maintenance Service should be performed six (6) months
after installation, and the subsequent services every twelve (12) months.
Periodic Maintenance Service depends on the working load of the Generator
and X-ray Tube.

Note . Take note in the Data Book all the periodic maintenance services
carried out and the data changes made during any maintenance
service.

SECTION 2 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

When any major component, such as a X-ray Tube,


HV Transformer or major circuit board, is replaced in the
system, perform the respective Configuration and
Calibration procedures.

Update and take note in the Data Book any new data entered
in memory.

If the HT Control Board or the ATP Console CPU Board is


replaced, check specially that Extended Memory data have
not been lost or modified with the Board change. Compare
Extended Memory data with the values noted in the Data
Book.

Also, make some exposures using different techniques and


Focal Spot and check that mA stations are calibrated
correctly, if not perform Calibration procedures.

Before starting the periodic maintenance procedures, it is recommended to


make a test exposure using the same operating factors and conditions as a
typical exposure.

Perform the X-ray tube warm-up procedure if the tube has not been in use for
approximately one hour. (Refer to Operator Manual of the Console).

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. 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 . Note that in practice, the rejection limits for entrance exposure rate
must be somewhat less than the maximum specified due to
Dosimeter calibration accuracy.

REJECTIONS LIMITS
METER CALIBRATION
ACCURACY FOR 5 R/min (43.5 mGy/min) MAXIMUM FOR 10 R/min (87 mGy/min) MAXIMUM

±5% 4.75 R/min (41.3 mGy/min) 9.5 R/min (82.7 mGy/min)

±10% 4.50 R/min (39.2 mGy/min) 9.0 R/min (78.3 mGy/min)

±15% 4.25 R/min (37 mGy/min) 8.5 R/min (74 mGy/min)

3. For testing the Dose, make a Fluoro exposure at maximum kV and


measure the dose applied, it should not be over the Rejection Limits for
5 R/min (43.5 mGy/min) or 10 R/min (87 mGy/min) (refer to the above
table).

In case that the value is not acquired, perform the respective Fluoro
calibration process.

MA-1004R4 17
HF Series Generators
Maintenance

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. Adjust TV Camera gain for 1 volt peak-to-peak composite video output.

18 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.

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.

SECTION 3 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE RELATED TO


BATTERY POWERED GENERATORS

Note . This Section only applies to Battery Powered Generators and


must be performed at least once a year.

3.1 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

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 SITUATION

The Generator can not calibrate in this moment the selected kV / mA combination
“TUBE OVERLOAD”, (because anode overheated, space charge, generator power limit, etc...). In this
“GENERATOR OVERLOAD”, case, the Generator will continue with Auto-calibration of the following available
ETC 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.

“CONFIRM” / “DISMISS” This message / code appears at the beginning of the Auto-calibration procedure to
“222” confirm or leave the Auto-calibration procedure.

“TUBE TOO HOT” 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
“111” capacity.

Auto-calibration procedure has been cancelled after ten attempts of calibration of

combinations uncalibrated.

“777” or “888” cancelled due to “space charge” during calibration of 40 kV at any mA station for
Small Focal Spot.
“AUTO CALIBRATION OK” Auto-calibration procedure has been successfully performed for the selected
“999” 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).
