1-3 HARASSMENT POLICY

HUMAN RESOURCES POLICY NUMBER 2.5

I. NEED FOR A POLICY


GE Medical systems has a long-standing commitment to provide a professional work environment free
from forms of discriminatory treatment prohibited by federal and state laws and regulations. This policy
is part of GE Medical System's commitment to provide a work environment consistent with optimal
performance of everyone.

II. STATEMENT OF POLICY


GE Medical Systems is committed or providing a work environment that is free of all forms of
intimidation and harassment as defined by this policy. Specifically, GE Medical Systems prohibits such
intimidation and harassment and will take appropriate disciplinary action for violation of the norms of
conduct established by this policy.

III. POLICY APPLICATION


Intimidation and harassment can arise from a broad range of physical or verbal behavior (by employees
or by non-employees such as customers or outside contractors) which can include, but is not limited
to, the following:

- Racial, ethnic and/or religious insults or slurs

- Unwelcome sexual advanced or touching

- Sexual comments, jokes, stores or innuendoes

- Requests for sexual favors used as condition of employment or affecting any personnel
decision such as hiring, promotion, compensation or termination

- Display of sexually explicit or otherwise offensive posters, calendars or materials

These activities are offensive and are inappropriate in the workplace. Any employee, regardless of
position, may be held individually liable as a harasser and subject to the penalties which may be
imposed under federal, state or local law.

Harassment or similar unacceptable activities that could become a condition of employment or a basis
for personnel decision, or which create a hostile, intimidating or offensive environment are specifically
prohibited by GE Medical Systems.

IV. REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION


Any employee (or any other person performing services for us) who feels that he or she has been the
subject of harassment or related retaliation must report the matter promptly to any member or
management, a Human Resources representative, Manager of Cultural Diversity or the Ombudsman.
Any such reports will be investigated promptly by a Human Resources representative and be kept
confidential within the bounds of our investigation and the law.

Any employee who engages in such harassment, or retaliates against another because that person
made a report of harassment or participated in an investigation of a claim of harassment, is subject to
immediate discipline, up to and including discharge. Appropriate remedial action will also be taken with
respect to non-GE employees (such as employees of suppliers, customers or agency personnel)
engaged in such inappropriate behavior.

VI. RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERPRETATION


The Manager of the Human Resources Operation or the Manager of Cultural Diversity will provide
counsel regarding the interpretation and application of this policy.

2-7 MAGNET SAFETY (Reference Procedure EC-061)

References
S GEMS EHS Field Service Manual, Chapter 5A, Procedure #23.

Definitions
S CRYOGEN:
A substance for producing low temperatures. In general, a cryogen is a material in liquid form that
normally is a gas. In MR, the cryogens are liquid helium and sometimes liquid nitrogen. Presently,
the liquid helium is required to produce the very low temperatures necessary for the
superconducting magnet.
S GAUSS (G)/TESLA (T):
A unit of magnetic field strength. The internationally accepted unit is the tesla: 1 tesla = 10,000
gauss. As a comparison, the earth's magnetic field is approximately 0.5 gauss. MR MAX has a
field strength of 5000 gauss or 0.5 tesla and Signa has a field strength of 15,000 gauss or 1.5 tesla.
The earth's magnetic field is approximately one half gauss to one gauss, depending on location.
S MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) or NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (NMR):
The absorption or emission of electromagnetic energy by nuclei in a static magnetic field, after
excitation by a suitable RF magnetic field. The peak resonance frequency is proportional to the
magnetic field , and is given by the Larmor equation. Only nuclei with a non-zero spin exhibit
NMR.
S MR IMAGING:
Creation of images of objects such as the body by use of the nuclear magnetic resonance
phenomenon. The immediate practical application involves imaging the distribution of hydrogen
nuclei (protons) in the body. The image brightness in a given region is usually dependent jointly on
the spin density and the relaxation times, with their relative importance determined by the particular
imaging technique employed. Image brightness is also affected by motion such as blood flow.
S QUENCH (RUNDOWN):
Condition where a superconductive magnet boils off helium. In this condition, the static magnetic
field is removed. A very loud but brief sound results when the cryogens boil off. Once quenched, it
can take a significant amount of time and material to return to the superconducting state.
S QUENCHING:
Loss of superconductivity of the current carrying coil that may occur unexpectedly in a
superconducting magnet. As the magnet becomes resistive, heat will be released that can result in
rapid evaporation of liquid helium in the cryostat. This may present a hazard if not properly planned
for.
S RADIO FREQUENCY (RF):
Frequency (intermediate between audio and infrared frequencies) used in magnetic resonance
systems to excite nuclei to resonance. The RF used in MR studies is commonly in the megahertz
(MHz) range. The principal effect of RF magnetic fields on the body is power deposition in the form
of heating, mainly at the surface; this is a principal area of concern for safety limits.

Safety Practices
S Magnetic field safety includes removal of all metal objects such as watches, keys, pens, hearing aids,
purses, magnetic credit cards, brief cases, IUD's, ferrous jewelry, etc. Persons with steel pins, steel plates,
artificial limbs, surgical clips, or other metal objects are not allowed in areas exceeding the 5 gauss level.
S Exposure to magnetic fields will be kept at the level consistent with the tasks at hand.
S Handling of cryogens includes wearing of nonabsorbent and insulated clothing along with safety glasses or
face shield. Storage of the containers includes the use of nozzle covers and chains.
S Phantoms must be handled with care using cradles provided. Any leakage must be reported to instructor
and EHS Team Leader and treated as a hazardous material" spill.
S Whenever a quench occurs, the magnet room and control area will be evacuated until the atmosphere is
established safe.
S The 5 gauss level of the magnetic field produced by the magnets will be outlined and readily visible.
S Warning signs indicating the present of magnetic fields in excess of 5 gauss will be prominently displayed.

Unattended MR Systems
S The nature of instruction at the GEMS Education Center allows a student to apply power to an MR system,
perform the tasks, then leave the MR system power on for the next person in line, and so on. Normal
practice in the MR labs allows the systems to be powered up in the standby mode at all times. At GEMS
Education Center, the last person using the equipment must assure that the MR system is in the standby
mode and that no RF is being generated and that all RF loads are in place.
S Lockout/Tagout procedures shall be applied as required.

Documentation
S Each staff member and student at the GEMS Education Center, is required to read this document and is
further asked to sign their name to the form provided, attesting to the fact that they have read and
understand this direction.
S Routine unscheduled audits will be made by GEMS safety/managerial personnel.

2-8 RADIATION SAFETY (Reference Procedure EC-059)

X-ray and CT Areas


S The generation of x-rays at the GEMS Education Center shall be:
- at a technique that will minimize the amount of Kvp, Ma, time, and duration to complete the task at
hand.
- providing the greatest person-to-tube distance
- utilizing the most radiation protection possible consistent with the task at hand
S The instructors at the GEMS Education Center will ensure that x-rays will be directed in the safety way
possible.
S The license granted by the State of Wisconsin allowing the GEMS Education Center to function as a
radiation installation is an INDUSTRIAL LICENSE. This license does not provide for the application of
x-rays to any part of any person. therefore, taking x-rays of any part of a person is ABSOLUTELY
FORBIDDEN.
S When making x-rays, an indication (can be audio or visual, for example, a sign or light) must be present to
warn visitors that x-rays are being made.
S Portable x-ray equipment, such as the AMX, will be operated only in areas designated by the Instructor.
Adequate shielding must be provided.
S During adjustment procedures or demonstrations, it may be necessary to energize an x-ray tube with no
intention of actually making the x-ray. In such cases, you must assume that x-ray will be generated
anyway and therefore attenuate the potential beam by closing the collimator blades when provided on the
equipment. If such attenuating devices are not present, lead aperture caps made of 1/8" lead sheets will
be used to absorb the primary beams.

Use of Sources (Nuclear Area)


S Source Use Rules:
- All sources are to be checked out as needed for test and calibration of the Nuclear Medicine systems.
The checkout procedure includes the GEMS Education Center Radiation Officer -Authorized User -
radioactive sources, staff and students.
- Only check out sources consistent with the tasks at hand.
- Under no circumstances are the sources to be removed from the nuclear lab in the GEMS Education
Center.
- All sources are to be checked in when they are not in use.
- Liquid sources for Nuclear Medicine calibration and testing are not permitted or allowed.
- All sources at GEMS Education Center to be stored in a locked lead safe located in the storage area.
S Checkout/Checkin of sources is required.
S The safe will be opened during working hours only.
S If you are working in the lab after hours, security is your responsibility. You must make special
arrangements with the authorized user to accommodate your needs.
- All sources are to be in their respective pigs. Sources and pigs are numbered and should not be mixed.
- Sources will be transported between pigs in their respective pigs.
- Utilize caution when handling the pigs. They are made of lead and bend easily. If you should damage a
pig, inform your instructor. Under no circumstances should you try to force a source into a distorted pig.
- All pointed rod sources are numbered and stored in marked locations in the safe. Rod sources do not
require shielding for transport or use.

- A checkout log is provided. When checking out a source, you are required to enter your name, source
number and time. When checking in a source (returning a source), you are required to enter the time
the source is being returned (you checked the source out and you are responsible for returning the
source). At the end of the day, the Instructor will confirm all sources are accounted for by physically
opening each pig and confirming that the correct source is present.
- Wash hands with soap and water after handling the lead containers.
S The nuclear instructors at the Institute will ensure that film or TLD badges are worn (at the neck level) by all
Nuclear Field Engineers attending class.
S Unattended Nuclear Medicine Equipment
The nature of instruction at the GEMS Education Center allows a student to apply power to Nuclear
Medicine Equipment, perform their tasks, then leave the Nuclear Medicine Equipment power on for the next
person in line, and so on. It is therefore, impractical to require the person who turns a Nuclear Medicine
Equipment on to also turn it off, as normal practices usually require. At GEMS Education Center, the last
person using the equipment must turn it off. Lockout/Tagout procedures shall be applied as required.
S Sources
The following sources are used during Nuclear Training:
Cobolt 57 (Co57) Disk - 26 mCi max
Barium 33 (Ba33) Bottle - 1.2 mCI MAX

The following sources are used during PET Training:


Germanium (Ge68) Point - 21.5 mCi max
Badging
The staff and students at GEMS Education Center shall wear radiation badges anytime they are in the labs which will
be monitored at regular intervals. The badge is to be worn at the neck level. A badge must be supplied to any
student who has not brought their personal badge. Anyone person that is pregnant and is working with x-ray or
radiation source may contact the facility Department Radiation Safety Officer (DRSO) about a fetal monitoring
device or other options. The badges monitor Occupations exposure, not Medical exposure. Consequently, the
badge is removed when x-rays prescribed by your doctor are taken.

Shielding
S Lead shielding is provided where needed in the walls of the x-ray rooms at the GEMS Education Center.
In normal use, consistent with the directives contained herein, occupants of rooms adjoining x-ray rooms
are adequately protected from secondary radiation and scatter.
S Protective aprons and gloves are provided in x-ray rooms and will be work during fluoroscopic or image
intensified observations when the operator is not protected by screens or other shielding.
S Some equipment has protective devices built in, such as the longitudinal shield in the RFX table. This
additional protection, and any other such protection devices provided on this equipment, will be utilized
when possible.
S During adjustment procedures or demonstrations, it may be necessary to energize an x-ray tube with no
intention of actually making the x-ray. In such cases, you must assume that x-ray will be generated
anyway and therefore attenuate the potential beam by closing the collimator blades when provided on the
equipment. If such attenuating devices are not present, lead aperture caps made of 1/8" lead sheets will
be used to absorb the primary beams.
Compliance Documentation
S Each staff member and student at the GEMS Education Center is required to read this document and as
further asked to sign their name to the form provided, attesting to the fact that they have read and
understand this direction.
S Routine, unscheduled audits will be made by GEMS safety/managerial personnel. The Radiation Safety
Officer for the GEMS Education Center is Tim Zimmermann at 574-8618.

CPU (46-264974G1 Board) (E-4)
Contains DA T A BUS, P0AD0-7; ADDRESS BUSS, ADA8-15 and status bus used as
inputs for critical status ports.
Critical status ports are hard wired signals monitored during prep and exposure; i.e.
rotor interlock, inverter ready, X-RAY ON, etc.
EPROMS (B7-9)
U6 & U36 [U51 & U104] - 46-279160G8 and G9 are current firmware for the
46-232828G1 CPU Board U36 [U104] contains application and diagnostic code and
U6 [U51] contains calibration code.

R/W - Port selects (C-10) & (E-10)


P ort enables for input ports and output ports.
They enable the CPU to read status signals and cause an appropriate output whether it
is analog or digital. (Analog signals are converted to digital for the CPU to read.)

Reset Switch (C-1)


Used to reset CPU without cycling power.
New CPU boards have the switch accessible from the side so that the metal shield does
not have to be removed.

POWER DOWN RST* (C-1)


or POWER OK from battery charger board. Used to hold off or halt the processor while
unit is being powered down.

Prevents writing into RAM while POWER supply disappears; if not this would
corrupt data in NVRAM.
CPU is constantly writing data into ram during exposure & in standby ;including unit
on-time, drive timer, charge time & amp hours, exposure counter etc.
OLD LVLE might give 100ms delay after key switch is turned off.
This occasionally caused memory corruption.
NEW LVLE will give about 500 ms; plenty of time for CPU to finish any writing if the
power was turned off in the middle of a write cycle. Ref. WF B1

POWER DWN RST HOLDOFF (D-1)


Allows CPU to finish writing to 2nd of 2 bytes if power turned off in the middle of a 2
byte word.
POWER UP DELAY (C-2)
holds off CPU until power supplies come up.

SW DA T A INPUT (F-1)
Input from display controller serial data input to CPU RXD input.

The SW DA T A INPUT would have been used for an anatomical programmer


Serial data option removed on new CPU Board.

DISP DA T A OUT (H-7)


Output is TXD on the CPU, serial out to the Display controller through U241 driver.

This is how the display data gets to the display Board.

SERVICE SWITCH (E-2)


This selects the EPROM on Power up.
One prom contains applications and diagnostics code.
The other contains calibration code.
Switch serves as an IF-THEN-GOTO" to jump to CAL or DIAG. mode.

AEC Control (A-5)
Sent to AEC module, when installed, via J7.
Sends selected KVP information for KVP compensation when AEC is on.
AEC EN from AID module goes false to terminate a phototimed exposure. Actual
MAS is displayed on the 16 character display.
LEDs (C-6)
During power up, the LEDs display the tests as they pass.
Used for troubleshooting if the vacuum fluorescent displays are out.
In the applications mode when the AEC option is used, the LEDs display binary
value of selected KVP.
AEC module uses this for KV compensation.
T AP 1-6 FDBK (D-F,5)
Read port select RDP6. The CPU monitors that correct relays for proper primary
voltage have been selected.
This input port is also used to monitor AEC status (AEC exposure enable and AEC
on).
Input Ports (A-H,1)
These are operator accessible inputs.
All are 24v inputs
They include MAS UP & DOWN, KVP UP & DOWN, drive enable, bumper field light
switch, tube park, etc. (exception is left and right stall).
Switch Debounce (B-7)
Prep and Exposure switch inputs - J8-23 and J8-25
24volt inputs to TTL output and debounced by U111. Ref. WF B-2.
After debounce each signal splits up. One set goes to P. 5-8, (B-2) (U150 Input) to
Develop EXPOSURE START . The other goes to the critical status ports of the CPU.
Critical Status Inputs (C-E,8)
This is run-time status checked continually during prep and exposure.
They include x-ray tube pressure switch, 60Hz inverter ok, rotor interlock, 1KHz
inverter ready, filament shorted detect, x-ray on, prep and expose switches.
SONART & X-RAY ON LAMP (F-11)
24volt drivers to display controller for x-ray on indicators.
Driven by X-RAY ON signal from FILAMENT/KVP Board.
X-RA Y ON signal goes high when actual KVP is 75% of selected KVP.
A problem with the old CPU boards was that noise would get on the X-RAY ON line
and the sonalert and lamp to turn on giving false indication that an exposure was
taken. This was impossible since the safety contactor was not pulled in.

Digital to Analog converters
D to A outputs for FILAMENT DMN, KVP DMN, DRIVE CMND, CHARGE CMND
They are accessed by CPU write ports WRP8,9,11
D/A U363 has two modes that are exclusive of each other
Pin 2 supplies the CHARGE CURRENT CMND in the charge mode and
HANDLE CHECK pulse in the drive mode. Cannot charge and drive at the same
time.
Pin 20 supplies LEAKAGE COMP during an exposure and VOLT AGE CHARGE
CMND during charge mode. Again, cannot expose and charge at the same
time.
VOL T AGE CHARGE CMND is not used.
Generator Control 2 (B-9)
Output ports for auto transformer tap relays, safety contactor enable, and rotor
relay select; (WRP0 output port).
Charger and Drive Control (D-9)
Output port selects:
TRIP BRKR- gives CPU control over the main breaker for fault conditions. Trips
breaker if battery voltage is less than 110 volts in idle mode or if exposure is not
terminated correctly.
CHARGE SCALE-SELECT-selects high or low charge rate on the charger
board.
CHARGER RELAY-brings power to the charger bridge when CPU is ready for
charging.
MOTOR ENABLE-pulls in two relays that brings power to the FET bridge for the
drive motors. This is active when the drive handle is pulled in and there are no
drive faults.
FULL SPD ENABLE-selects high speed or low speed for drive system.
Operated by tube park switch.
DRIVE RESET-pulse that occurs after a drive stall. Resets latches on drive
controller .
BA T V & CHARGE CUR SELECT-this selects what channel on the charger
board will be read into the CPU internal counters via the Voltage to Frequency
converter .
On Board Status (F-8)
Input ports for CPU Board status
XMIT OK from display controller
DISPLA Y OK also from display controller
BU TMR OK-back-up timer ready
EXPOSURE CMND STA TUS- checks that the EXPOSURE START pulse did
occur
A/D STA TUS-checks status of main A/D

System analog signals are buffered and converted to digital.
Left and Right transducer inputs (A-B,1)
Handle voltages are fed in here.
Handle Check is a 1ms pulse 24ms apart used to take the inputs to 0volts to
check that the handle circuitry is functioning. When this goes to zero, the CPU
knows to look for this.
Other analog inputs are drive fdbk, KVP DMN FDBK, FILAMENT FDBK, LEAKAGE
COMP FDBK, ±15volt supply, +24volt power supply and the +5volt power supply,
+24v & +40v vacuum fluorescent displays.
The power supply monitors are not present on the old version of CPU boards,
except the +5v monitor.
All analog inputs are fed into a 16 channel analog multiplexer U342 (D-6).
Analog lines are enabled one at a time by the A/D CTRL U339, outputs
AMUX0-3. This allows the desired signal to pass to the sample and hold and
finally to the A/D.
The 12 bit A/D (D-8) read enable is controlled by the A/D CTRL chip.
When true, the A/D reads the voltage from AR426, Sample and Hold (D-7); it is then
digitized sent to the data bus.
The 8 most significant bits are used.
The A/D also provides +10v reference voltage for use by external circuits.
The -10 ref. voltage is used for D/A; +10v ref is used to supply the Hall Effect
sensors in the drive handle. TP15 must be clean 10 volts. If not, may have drive
problems.
Digital Signals monitored by the CPU (B-8).
MAS & BAT V AND CHARGING CUR are input to U123 mux.
These are 24volt voltage-to-frequency converted pulses from the charger board
Other inputs to U123 to monitored by the CPU:
TMR0-16KHz clock
TMR1-T imer used by CPU to determine actual exposure time
TMR2-120Hz clock
The inputs are selected to go to the output FDBK OUT, by address lines from the ON
B OARD CONTROL, U127. FDBK OUT goes directly to the CPU T1 input, to the
onboard counters.
POWER DOWN RST HOLDOFF from the ON BOARD CONTROL holds off the reset if
the power is turned off while the CPU is in the middle of a write function.

EXPOSURE CMND CONTROL (A-3) Ref. WF B4
U150 (B-2) monitors PREP SWITCH., AEC EXPOSURE EN, EXPOSURE SWITCH,
PRES SURE SWITCH, BACKUP TMR OKA Y, and STOP EXPOSURE STA TUS.
When all are true, the CPU will issue a START EXPOSURE from GEN CONTROL
1 (A-7)
EXPOSURE START CMND is about a 3ms pulse that stays high until X-RAY ON
becomes valid. Then EXPOSURE START CMND goes away. This starts the primary
SCRs commutating.
EXPOSURE STOP CMND is also about a 3ms pulse that, once the CPU has
determined proper exposure, stays high until X-RAY ON goes away.
GEN CONTROL 1 (A-7)
Output port for 60Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, and 16KHz clock enables.
Clock outputs from board are 24volts.
Phase 1 & Phase 2 signals are 180 degrees out of phase except for the 16kHz clock.
PROGRAMMABLE TIMER (C-6)
Decodes data from CPU into clocks:
TMR0-16KHz output; goes on to Develop 1KHz & 2KHz clocks
TMR1-exposure duration timer used by firmware for fixed time and phototimed
exposures.
TMR2-120Hz- develops 60Hz clock
BACK UP TIMER (E-2 thru E-4) area
X-RA Y ON is clocked through the U148 flip flop at 750Khz, then ANDED with 60Hz
clock. The 60Hz starts the binary counter (E-2) counting until X-RAY ON goes
away .
The binary counter output is compared to a backup time latched in on U88 (F-3) by
an 8 bit magnitude comparator. If input A=input B, then BU TMR OKA Y goes away
and outputs an error.
Noise can get in this circuit and cause an error when no exposure is taken; i.e.
during idle or driving.
Tube spits may cause Error 466 during an exposure followed by Error 437 when
the next exposure is attempted.

DISPLAY CONTROLLER BOARD


The DISPLAY CONTROLLER BOARD receives data from the CPU Board for display

Refer to Pg. 4-53


Commands, ASCII data and special character data are received from the CPU serial
output to the DISPLAY CONTROLLER CPU (U35). Ref. WF A1
This controller can support up to three displays.

INT0 from the DISPLAY CONTROLLER CPU generates XMIT OK* for display status.
XMIT OK* is a toggling signal that synchronizes the display to the data being
transmitted. This eliminates flicker.
DISPLA Y OK is a `watchdog' signal that if for any reason XMIT OK* doesn't toggle the
one-shot, DISPLAY OK will go false signaling a display error, 23.

Refer to Pg. 4-55

DS27 is a 9 character display which displays the KVP/MAS technics (C-6).

The vacuum fluorescent displays require a separate power supply (B-8).


X83 has 2 outputs; 40VDC supply used by the 16 character display and filament supply
F1 & F2 used by all displays.
The 40 v supply is divided down to 33VDC used by the KVP/MAS display and 24VDC
used by the bargraph.
F1 & F2 are the filament supplies for all displays. Ref. WF A2
W aveforms are out of phase. If they were DC, the display brightness would not be
uniform.

The x-ray SONALERT is located on this board


Cannot make the sonalert louder using existing one.
Have seen where U13 can go bad causing certain segments to be lit and letters double
spaced on the 16 character display.

DISPLAY BOARD
DISPLA Y BOARD contains the 16 character (message) display DS-37 (P. 4-59/B-5) and the
Bargraph Display DS-35 (E-10)

CPU sends bargraph data to the DISPLAY CONTROLLER memory which then updates
the bargraph.
When a bargraph change in needed, the CPU will send COMPLETE bargraph data;
unwanted segments are blanked.

BATTERY CHARGER BOARD
BA T TERY CHARGER BOARD consists of a constant current battery charger capable of charging
batteries to 145 volts at a rate of 3 amps.
Refer to Pg. 4-69 & 4-71
When the charger cord is plugged in:
Line sense relays K216 and K196 energize (Pg. 4-69, B-2)
Refer to Pg. 4-71 (D-9)
K196 contacts bring battery voltage to the charger board and the rest of the system
by means of BAT SWT, TP7 .
K216 contacts sends a signal to the CPU telling it that the cord is plugged in and to
go to the charge mode.
If the unit will not charge, chances are the line sense relays are not energized.
Refer to Pg. 4-69
AC power is applied to the full wave bridge and to the phase control SCR.
The average current is controlled by varying the conduction angle of the SCR by
means of an optically coupled triac.
A ramp generator is synced with the zero crossing of the AC line (CR198, B-4);
(U181, B-6); (Q188, B-7).
The zero crossing ramp is compared to the output of the charger current error amp.
When the error voltage at TP4 (D-8) is higher than the ramp voltage at TP5 (C-7),
the SCR is fired. Ref. WF C1 & C2
This varies the average current to the batteries
Ref . Coordinates A-C/9-11: Circuitry here keeps batteries from charging at no more
than 145 volts.
Charge current feedback is accomplished by picking off the charge current through a
2.5 ohm resistor in series with the charger and the batteries.
The voltage drop across the resistor is fed into an isolation circuit 2-F4
Then to gain network operated by CHARGE SCALE SELECT (E-3) J1-12. This
changes gain by a factor of 10.
When low, the charger is in the HIGH charge rate
When high, the charger is in the LOW charge rate
I-CHARGE CMND is a 0 to 10 volt signal from the CPU that is compared to the
actual charge current. The output is the charge current error .
Other functions:
Refer to Pg. 4-71
During power-up, POWER STABLE* & POWER OK (F-1) signals are generated by
power supply monitor U20 (H-3).
This provides a delayed signal to allow the power supplies to stabilize as well as a
fast power down warning for the CPU Board. (renamed POWER DWN RST)
POWER STABLE is also used to hold off the trip breaker signal on power-up and
power-down.
BREAKER TRIP from FILAMENT/KVP Board trips the circuit if KV >15KV above
demand or MA > 150 mA.
NOTE: J4-8 BREAKER TRIP* on Charger Board comes from FILAMENT/KVP Board
as TRIP BRKR*.

Q228 drives the trip coil of the main breaker
When POWER STABLE* is true, then Q210 off. This desensitizes the breaker trip
circuit on power-up until power supply is stable.
POWER STABLE* is not used off the board.
When TRIP BRKR from CPU is false and BREAKER TRIP from FILAMENT/KVP
Board is false, Q228 remains off.
If either trip breaker signals go true, then the breaker will trip.
Battery voltage and charge current are sampled and sent to the CPU Board.
Battery voltage from BAT SW is fed to a voltage sense circuit, (B-5), through a
select FET switch to a Voltage-to-F requency Converter (VFC)
The charge current is sampled through another FET switch and also is sent to the
VFC.
When BAT V & CHARGE CUR SELECT (A-1) is low, the battery voltage line is
selected. When high, the charge current line is selected.
During voltmeter cal, the frequency is read for 5 sec for max accuracy.
VFC output (typical) :
Batt.=120v TP6=7.8KHz
Batt=115.5v TP6=7.407KHZ Ref. WF C3
Batt=114.5v TP6=7.299KHZ

When the charger is plugged in, the LINE VOLT AGE is supplying the BAT SWT voltĆ
age to the rest of the system (LVLE).
The voltmeter is not affected by this because of diode CR81 (D-8).
This would eliminate the system running off of the batteries since the unit might sit
around a while after the CHARGE COMPLETE message appears.
This prevents unnecessary battery drain.
KEY SWITCH ON SEQUENCE
Main breaker on
+BA T T volts through F6 to KEY SWITCH
KEY SWITCH to ON position
sends voltage to Charger Board J4-1 (D-9) through K149 contacts.
K215 energizes bringing battery voltage to the board and out to BAT SWT (D-8).
BA T SW also goes to the power supply monitor to develop POWER OK &
POWER STABLE *
BA T SW voltage feeds the LVLE power supply
K62 energizes closing contacts (3C9) which go to CPU Board. This lets the CPU know
that the key switch is on.
CPU starts power-up sequence.

BA T TERY POWER AND CHARGING - Refer to Pg. 4-75 thru 4-79


SEE PAGE 4-77 FOR CHARGE CYCLE
LINE SENSE is energized when the charger cord is plugged in. Also relay K196 comes in
bringing battery voltage to the system as BAT SWT. BAT SWT supplies, among other
things, the LVLE . When the LVLE supply comes up, the CPU powers up, sees LINE
SENSE and proceeds to the charger mode. K150 comes in from the CPU to bring
power to the charger bridge.
I-CHARGE CMND is output from the CPU to the Charger Board and is summed with the
charger feedback. The output is compared to a ramp generator which is line-synced.
This fires SCR to give average current through the batteries.
I-CHARGE FDBK is developed across a 2.5 ohm resistor behind the ground stud. It is
scaled depending if batteries need high charge or low charge mode. This feedback
goes through a MUX which selects between charge fdbk and battery voltage, then to a
V oltage to Frequency Converter (VFC).
BA T V & CHARGING CUR is sent to the CPU's internal pulse counter T1 input and
converted. The CPU counts these pulses for a fixed time to determine their value.
A new circuit designed into the charger runs the system off the line when plugged in from
the REGULATOR. This supplies BAT SW to the LVLE . Diodes were installed to allow the
voltmeter to read the voltages on the batteries, not the regulator (center of sheet).
KEY SWITCH brings in K62 (KEY SWITCH ON) and K215 (BAT SWT). Note that K215 and
K196 are in parallel; one for charging, one for key switch operation. Also note that when
the charger is plugged in K150 opens and disables the key switch whether it is on or off.
POWER UP DELAY is operated by the BAT SWT signal. It provides a power up delay as
well as a fast power down. PWR STABLE desensitizes the Trip Breaker circuitry while
the power supplies come up.
TRIP BREAKER from the CPU board & BREAKER TRIP* from the FIL/KVP board are low
voltage signals designed to trip the breaker as follows:
CPU - if battery voltage is less than 110 volts in standby.
if charge current feedback is not within 20% of expected value.
if CPU cannot terminate exposure normally
FIL/KVP - if KV is 15 KV above demand
if ma is greater than 150 ma.
When the breaker is to be tripped, 0 volts is given to the trip coil of the circuit breaker.
To troubleshoot breaker tripping symptoms, disconnect wire at J4-5. this will eliminate or
indicate blocks of circuitry as a possible cause. If the breaker still trips, then there is an
actual overload; whether it is a tube spit or inverter latchup. Watching the wire marked #5
to the START/STOP SCR jerk is also a good indication that a high current situation
occurred.
Collimator brake release switches operate K1 located under the CPU board.
This brings battery voltage to the positioning brakes and park latch.

ROTOR CONTROLLER
ROTOR CONTROLLER contains the 60Hz inverter for the rotor and the collimator field light.
The inverter also serves as a power supply for other modules
Refer to Pg. 4-87 thru 4-89
60Hz inverter (1-C1) inputs from the CPU are optically isolated and sent to driver
transistors.
The outputs of the FETs are connected to opposite ends of the inverter transformer.
The center tap is connected to BAT SW through F93 and surge resistors.
BA T SW came from charger Board through K215.
F or inverter waveforms Ref. WF D1, D2, D3.
Soft start is a function of firmware.
This only happens when the 60Hz inverter is turned on for the first time after the unit
has been turned on.
The frequency starts at about 200 Hz and slews down to 60Hz. Ref. WF D3.
Prevents inrush of current.
K121 is a hardware soft-start. It comes in upon 60Hz turn-on to short the resistors
that allow the capacitor to charge up (D-4) after power up and stays in until unit is
turned off or reset.
The 60Hz inverter transformer supplies not only rotor and collimator light but also
commutation capacitors, 27VAC used by the FILAMENT/KVP Board, and develops
60Hz INVERTER OK.
K39 contacts (1-C7) select either the rotor windings or the collimator light
ROTOR SELECT (1-H1) comes from the CPU Board operated by the field light
button.
When ROTOR SELECT false, the collimator light is enabled .
If light is on when rotor button is pressed, K39 energizes routing the voltage to
the rotor windings.
Rotor has priority over the collimator light.
VOL T AGES; J3-2 & 3 measured 105 vac out of transformer.
Rotor windings: BLK to WHT =105 VAC ; GRN to WHT =165 VAC.
Collimator light transformer output is tap selectable.
FMI 10257 instructed to install collimator light lead to TS1-8
Battery @112V TS1-8=22.7 Lamp=21.6
Battery @116V TS1-8=23.5 Lamp=22.4
This will help lengthen bulb life.
Also recommend changing FLD LT ON TIME in calibration mode to be 15-20
seconds.

27V AC supplies the 60Hz INVERTER OK to the CPU for status check and supplies the
FILAMENT/KVP Board filament circuit.
COM CAP CHARGE is about 83VAC during prep and charges the commutation caps in
the generator for exposure shut off.
SAFETY CONT ENB* relay K37 (H-2) brings in contacts (A-8) for safety contactor.
K37 is operated by the CPU and is enabled by the PREP SWITCH.
The Rotor Interlock is made up of current transformers and circuitry Pg. 4-89 (C-6
thru C-9)
When rotor is called for, current flows through T5 & T6.
The voltage is sensed and trips both op amps in U20. U20 is wired AND circuit. Ref.
WF D4 & D5.
Output is ROTOR INTERLOCK +V. Goes to CPU for monitoring. +24volts when
happy .
Problems with board were corrected with resistor changes (blowing F93).

(READ THE NOTES IN THE CPU BLOCK)

ROTOR CONTROL - Refer to Pg. 4-93


When the operator presses the prep switch, the CPU enables the 60Hz inverter and rotor
select relays. The CPU starts the clocks which are isolated from the drivers. FETs are clocked on
and off alternately in the primaries of the 60Hz transformer supplied by battery voltage. The
secondary supplies the rotor, filament supply, and the commutation capacitor.
The only difference between the collimator light and the rotor is K39. When the collimator
button is pushed, the ROTOR SELECT* signal is NOT selected, therefore, voltage is sent through
the normally closed contacts to K39 to the collimator light transformer (not shown in diagnostic
block diagrams).
60Hz INV OK is used during 60Hz turn on for the collimator lamp. Both ROTOR INTLK and
60Hz INV OK are looked at for rotor sequence by the CPU. ROTOR INTLK is developed from 2
current sense transformer in series with the GRN and BLK wires.
COM CAP CHARGE signal goes to a bridge rectifier in the HV module which will charge up
the commutation capacitor. Note that the commutation cap gets charged in both modes; when
collimator light is lit and during rotor.

FILAMENT/KVP BOARD
FILAMENT/KVP BOARD controls the filaments with pulse width modulation and regulates KVP by
varying the filament current.
Refer to Pg. 4-103
The CPU sets up the FILAMENT DAMAND DAC for the selected technic as established
during calibration.
This is summed with the actual filament current (C-4) which makes up the `inner
loop'.
When and exposure is made, the KV DMND and KVP FDBK modify the
filament/tube current depending on the KV error. This makes up the `outer loop'.
In other words, this changes the loading on the tube to increase/decrease the
KVP .
Both KVP DMN and KVP FDBK and FILAMENT DMN are summed into a sine wave
type waveform which is summed with a 16KHz sawtooth which, depending on the
level of the desired filament current, determines output pulsewidth.
P ulse width drive is clocked through RS flip flop and sent to driver transistors.
The 27VAC supply from the 60Hz Board. supplies the voltage to the filament
inverter .
PREHEA T (C-6) signal drives PWM to maximum duty cycle (50%) to boost the filament
to temperature during prep. Ref WF F5.
PREHEA T also desensitizes current limit circuitry.
Comparator AR 79 looks at actual filament current compared to a reference level. If
filament current gets too high, AR79 will trip disabling PWM DRIVE (C-7).
KVP FDBK is compared to KVP DMN to detect 75% level to activate X-RAY ON. Ref
WF F3.
X-Ray ON starts the backup timer on the CPU Board.
During calibration the 75% detector was changed to 33% with a jumper installed on
TP 14 to TP 15. (F-3).
2 KHZ PHASE 1 & 2 (D-9) square wave from CPU Board is sent through driver
transistors and to filament inverter transformer.
The center tap of the transformer is the 16kHz pulse width modulated signal
developed by the filament demand circuit.
FILAMENT current is sensed across R188 @TP 13 (F-9) at .1 volt per amp for
feedback to CPU Board. Ref. WF F7, F8, F9.
Tube spits will take out diodes CR 281 & CR283 (D,E-10). Symptom might be
insufficient filament drive Error 45F.

MAS is measured by MA+ & MA- input to bridge and sent to a VFC to be converted to
pulses. (C-8)
The CPU terminates the exposure by counting pulses for operator-selected MAS.
Ref WF F11.
Inputs to CPU internal counter.
MA does not have to be exactly 100MA. The CPU is looking for MAS only.
New boards have pot to compensate for different manufactures of VFC.
100.0MA= 16 KHZ. Do not adjust in the field.
MA & KVP are monitored by comparators AR153 & AR 244.
If the tube current is over 150 ma AR153 will trip causing TRIP BREAKER* to go true.
If the KVP FDBK is 15 KVP higher than KVP DMN, then AR244 will trip causing TRIP
BREAKER* to go true, tripping the main breaker.
The FILAMENT SHORTED signal (F-10) monitors conduction of the filament. Ref WF
F10.
2KHz Phase 1 is one input from the CPU. PWM RTN 2 is actual filament conduction.
When rotor is first prepped, 2KHz PH 1 is there instantly, which will trigger
FILAMENT SHORTED true.
When the filaments are first turned on, they are very low resistance; almost a
short.
As the filament heats, resistance and voltage increase across it since current
though the filament is constant.
V oltage at PWM RTN 2 slowly increase to about 8 volts which will trip FILAMENT
SHORTED false.
V oltage at PWM RTN 2 is actually voltage from the other side of the inverter
transformer while Q184 is off Ref. to Pg. 4-103 (E-10).
The FILAMENT SHORTED signal is monitored by the CPU for timing.
If FILAMENT SHORTED signal never comes up, the PWM RTN 2 pulses come
up immediately meaning the filament inverter is not conducting. Error 45E.
If the FILAMENT SHORTED signal comes up and stays up, PWM RTN 2 never
came up, this means that there is no voltage across the filaments which means a
possible short. Error 45F.
If FILAMENT SHORTED is high when prep switch is first pressed, then ERROR
45D occurs. This means that the associated circuitry is faulty.
LEAK AGE COMP (D-2) from CPU Board is a fixed correction for transformer
leakage used to modify MAS.
F actor can be changed in DA T A BASE ACCESS.

FILAMENT AND MAS CONTROL REFER TO PG. 4-109 (following page)


Read Bullets in Controller block.
Describe outputs of the Controller board; D to A, clocks, etc.
Filament/kVp block; note that on prep. FIL DMN drives the filament through a modulator.
Preheat signal forces the modulator into 50% duty cycle which provides a `boost' to get
the filament upto temperature. During the exposure kVp demand and KV FDBK are
then allowed to modify the filament current to deliver an accurate operator selected kVp
by changing the loading on the tube.
2kHz clocks drive the filament inverter (the 2 FETs). This frequency and pulsewidth do not
change.
FIL FDBK is sensed across a 0.1 ohm resistor (R188) at 0.1 volt per amp.
FIL SHORTED is a status signal used to indicate conduction of the filament. When the
filament is first turned on, it is cold and appears to be shorted. As the filament warms
up, the resistance increases and no longer appears as a short.

KV FDBK is actually primary votlage feedback, not secondary feedback. Primary votlage
is sent to a stepdown transformer, rectified and sent out as KV FDBK; it is not DC
filtered.
MA+ & MA- are sampled from the transformer, rectified, and summed with LEAKAGE
COMP . LEAKAGE COMP voltage respresents HV transformer leakage and is
subtracted from the MA from the transformer. The MA from the transformer is actually
tube current PLUS leakage. Leakage is subtracted to give true tube current. This is
then sent to a voltage to frequency converter and is sent out as pulses to the internal
counter T1 in the CPU.

One kHz Inverter Concise Theory of Operation

The 1 kHz inverter is a push-pull self commutated design employing SCRs as switches. Self commutating means
that one SCR must be turned on in order to shut the other SCR off. The inverter is stopped and started by Q3 which
houses two SCRs.

Sequence of Events

1. C12 is charged to -70v during prep.

2. Clocks applied to Q1, Q2 (clocks have dead time as dictated by driver circuitry).

3. Start SCR fired.

4. Assume Q1 is clocked on, when Q3 start SCR is triggered.

5. V oltage at Q1 anode goes low, current ramps up thru battery, thru upper half of T1, thru Q1 SCR thru L1, thru Q3
start SCR back to battery.

6. V oltage across C5 is 2 times battery voltage (220v).

7. Q1 drives goes low, device continues to conduct (fundamental SCR).

8. Q2 fired.

9. V oltage at Q2 anode goes low Q1 anode goes to -60 (due to C5).

10. Due to L1, voltage spikes positive at Q1, Q2 cathode.

11. Current ramps up thru bottom half of T1 thru Q2.

12. Current decreases thru Q1 and top half of T1.

13. Circulating current also flows thru aux winding thru Q2 diode thru SCR thru L1 and back to aux.

14. Cycle repeats starting at step 4.

15. To stop inverter, stop SCR is pulsed on.

16. Due to C12, voltage at anode of start SCR goes negative shutting it off.

17. Current ramps down by charging up C10.

18. Stop SCR turns off due to minimal current thru it.

1 kHz BOARD
1KHz BOARD has the 1KHz inverter gate supply for the auto transformer inverter SCRs,
EXPOSURE START & STOP signals for main SCRs, tap select logic, KVP feedback, and stop cap
status.
Refer to Page 4-120 thru Page 4-123
Inverter receives 1KHz PHASE 1 & 2 from CPU. Ref. WF E1 & E5.
Ph. 1& 2 drive FETs through center tapped transformer.
Center tap is connected to 24volts.
Outputs G1 & G2 are sent via twisted pair to inverter SCRs Q1 & Q2 power blocks
which provide AC primary volts for auto transformer.
1KHz PHASE 1 & 2 are there when prep is pressed.
EXPOSURE START CMND from CPU is about a 3ms pulse which is sent through a
pulse transformer for the exposure start SCR, Q3. Ref. WF E2.
EXPOSURE STOP also from CPU works the same.
KV FDBK is sampled from high voltage primaries through an isolation transformer.
KV FDBK is used by the FILAMENT/KVP Board. to regulate mA. Ref. WF E3 & E4.
STOP CAP voltage is checked on this board - Page 4-121 (D-7) Ref. WF E6
STOP CAP voltage must be at least -69 volts.
Have measured 77vDC.
Stop cap volts develop 1kHz READY and is checked once during prep.
If stop caps are not charged, do not allow an exposure.

T AP SELECTS 1-6 are active low from CPU Board.


Selection of relays for the technic selected by the operator were established during
calibration.
Active low signals drive opto-iso;
First opto-iso drives transistors which, when conducting, brings in relay coil
The relay current conducts through the 2nd opto-iso which is the feedback to
the CPU.
The feedback only detects if current is flowing through the coil, NOT if the relay
physically came in (contact closure).
During prep, all relays come in 2 times to `wipe' the contacts, then select
appropriate tap, then bring in safety contactor.

DRIVE CONTROLLER
DRIVE CONTROLLER used in conjunction with the DRIVE POWER AMP deliver up to 1KW of
power to the motors. Circuitry between right and left drives is identical. Left Drive will be
discussed.
Refer to Page 4-143
The CPU Board reads the inputs from the Hall Effect sensors from the handle. Voltage
depends on how hard the handle is pushed.
Then the CPU outputs LEFT/RIGHT DRIVE CMND to DRIVE CONTROLLER (F-1)
LEF T DRV CMND enters board at (F-1). Command is+10v full forward; 0 v
stopped; and -10 v full reverse.
DRV CMND is summed in AR154 (F-6) with drive FDBK. The error then goes
through an invert/non-invert amp, depending on direction of command.
The `absolute value' error output is connected to a voltage clamp CR197 (F-8) .
The error voltage is sent to AR260 (C-7) 555 timer used as a voltage to pulse
width converter. As the command increases, the error increase, the pulse width
increases.
Direction is determined by the polarity at TP5 (D-6)
If TP5 is + then TP15 =1 for reverse direction .
U283 flip flop has 2 outputs;Q (CCW) enables U282 to pass pulses from AR 260;
Q* (CW) output disables other U262 and blocks pulses from AR260.
U283 outputs also drive FET switches to invert/non-invert amps & FET
switches at (D-2) which maintain the polarity of the motor feedback regardless
of direction the motors are turning.
Output of U280 has only 2 outputs pulsing at a time and are 180 out of phase .
These pulses are sent to the DRIVE POWER AMP.
Stall circuitry is provided to detect when the current through the motors is too high. (A-7)
A stall is also caused by overheated motors.
When a stall occurs, U283 trips and sends a signal to the CPU.
The stall is reset when the handle is released. Can't see the stall LEDS.
Refer to Page 4-151
DRIVE ENA SWITCH (C-1) and POWER OK develop +5V-DRV (C-5) which goes to the
DRIVE POWER AMP.
MOTOR ENA (D-1) from CPU develops BRAKE RELEASE, RIGHT & LEFT MOTOR
ENA .
They go to the DRIVE POWER AMP drivers that pull in the brake release and motor
relays.
Inputs from both bumper switches develop BUMPER* to the CPU board.
This signals the CPU that there is an obstruction and disables MOTOR ENA and causes
the software to output a display REVERSE ONLY, enable MOTOR ENA, then to ignore
any forward direction handle commands until the obstruction is cleared.
FULL SPD ENA (H-1) from the CPU Board brings in a resistor which changes the gain of
the op amp which lowers the voltage at TP11.
This lower voltage causes voltage clamp diode CR197 to become forward biased if the
voltage at TP12 (F-7) goes higher than the +PW LMT.
This imposes a new limit on the max voltage the error amp can put out, therefore
limiting max speed.
FULL SPD ENA is operated by the TUBE PARK SWITCH through the CPU.

DRIVE POWER AMP


DRIVE POWER AMP delivers pulsed voltage from batteries to the motors through a
transistor bridge circuit. Left" will be discussed.
Refer to Page 4-147
+5V-DRV from the DRIVE CONTROLLER supplies voltage for the input to the
opto-isolator (C-3).
Motor is powered by varying pulse width or duty cycle and polarity, giving variable speed
and direction.
Turning the unit is accomplished by pulling one end of the handle back and pushing the
other end forward.
Right and left drives are identical and completely independent from each other.
One wheel will drive in reverse; the other forward, allowing the unit to turn on a dime.
DRIVE EXAMPLE Ref WF I1 through I4.
IDLE-Drive switch not activated; +5V-DRV is absent. BOT CW & CCW are high to
turn on Q165 & Q5 (This keeps noise away from motors by shorting it out.)
DRIVE MODE
When handle is picked up, +5V-DRV becomes active supplying 5 volts to the high
side of the opto isolators U96 and U65.
P ulses are supplied to TOP CCW; pulse width is determined by the operator
pushing or pulling on the handle for desired speed.
In this case, we are in reverse.
TOP CCW is active low, which causes U96 output to go high, Q94 to turn on, Q93
to turn off, and Q90 to turn on.
This supplies the +battery volts to the motor.
B OT CCW is active low (does not pulse) turns off Q15, turns on Q12, turns Q14 off,
turns Q5 on.
B OT CCW stays active low and does not pulse so long as the unit is traveling in
the same direction.
This supplies ground to the other side of the motor.
At the same time TOP CCW is true (Q98 is on), BOT CW is normally high but pulsed
low (Q165 turns off).
When Q98 is off, Q165 is on, providing ground to both sides of the motor.,
This is used for dynamic braking and better response in case of a direction
change.
The timer circuit at (F-3) and the transformers are a supply for the TOP circuits of the
drive amp since the reference used in NOT ground.
The secondary of the transformer has a diode and filter cap to supply DC voltage to
those circuits.
LEF T V+ comes from the drive relays in bottom of the drive module (BAT T V)
MOTOR ENB comes from the DRIVE CONTROLLER and brings in the drive relays.
BRAKE RELEASE operates relay K145 (E-F, 7-8) which energizes the brakes on
the back of the drive motors to release. (BRAKE RELEASE 1 & 2, 120V.)
K145 also brings power to the timer circuit (F-2) and the transistor/
transformer circuit (F-3).

LEF T DRIVE - Refer to Page 4-155


Note: The left and right side are identical therefore only cover the left drive.
TUBE PARKED SW-(S1 is normally open switch shown incorrectly in the blocks).
This signal tell the CPU if the tube is parked or not through the CHGR & DRV
ST A TUS input port. This operates FULL SPD ENA sent to the drive module.
FULL SPD ENA from the CPU operates a voltage clamp on the Drive Controller board.
Therefore the maximum speed is hardware limited.
DRIVE ENA SW developed from S4 & S5 `deadman' switches. Both switches must work before
the drive is enabled. This signal goes to the CPU board and splits up-one to an input port;
the other, off the board to the drive module to supply +24 volts to the + side of the drive
relay , K1. DRIVE ENA SW to the CPU input port tells the CPU to read the Hall Effect Sensors
and output MOTOR ENA & DRIVE RESET. MOTOR ENA develops 0 volt path to the drive
relay LEFT MOTOR ENA and also develops BRAKE RELEASE.
LF T MAN TDS OUT is the output of the left Hall Effect Sensor. This output is sent to the CPU's 16
channel analog MUX and converted to digital. The CPU then outputs +10v to 0v to -10v
signal to the Drive Controller. The polarity determines direction of the motors.
LEF T DRV CMND on the Drive Control board is summed with the drive feedback to give an error,
then is voltage clamped (for maximum speed control). The voltage is then converted to a
pulsewidth and sent to drivers. Polarity of the error is sensed which is a function of desired
direction (pushing forward or backward on the drive handle) then converted to an absolute
value so that there is always a positive voltage going to the voltage-to-frequency
converter . Depending on the desired direction CW or CCw, different drivers are enabled
which eventually provides reversible current flow through the motors.
LEF T TOP CW*, LEFT BOT CW*, LEFT TOP CW*, LEFT BOT CCW* are sent to the Drive Amp
where the pulses are amplified through opto-isolators and power FETs.
LEF T IM is the feedback signal from the motor drives. The analog MUX is there to maintain a
relationship with the DRV CMND so that they are always opposite since the motor
feedback is always positive. This is done by a direction detect or a invert/non-invert amp.
LEF T DRV FDBK is also sent to the CPU for monitoring.
The BUMPER switches are normally closed and go to the Drive Controller board.
BUMPER* is developed and sent to the CPU board. When the bumper switches open, the
CPU turns off MOTOR ENA to stop the motors. It also prompts the CPU to ignore any
forward commands from the drive handle until the obstruction is cleared.
BRAKE RELEASE is from the white pushbutton under the drive handle is wired ORed with the
BRAKE RELEASE 1 on the Drive Power Amp. The white pushbutton is connected directly
to the battery in case the unit will not stay on to drive out of the way.
CAUTION - When working around this module, there will be battery voltage present if the white
pushbutton is pushed.

Battery Safety
Helpful hints when working around batteries:

• All tools should be taped to prevent accidental shorts

• Wear Safety Glasses with side shields

• Wear long sleeves---sweaty arms can get you shocked

• Wear a hat---protect hair from possible hot flying metal

• Button all buttons and wear long sleeves to protect arms

• Remove all jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, anything metallic

• Do not depend on either silk or nylon as these materials melt and offer no protection

• Wrap all jewelry that can not be removed

• If anything out of the ordinary happens or you have any questions ask a doctor

• Don't hurry---Haste makes sparks

Determining a Bad Battery Set


The only reliable method for determining whether a battery set is bad is to monitor the battery voltage under load at a
lower state-of-charge. The procedure follows.

1. Bring the open circuit battery voltage on the set below 113.00 v. unloaded. Drive the unit, use a lamp (or some
other type) load, etc.

2. Monitor the battery voltage from the circuit breaker to the ground stud with a storage scope. Use 5 or 10 v./div.
and 5 ms /div (2 ms /div on the 2230 to eliminate aliasing) with negative edge trigger.

3. Take a 125 kVp 4 mAs exposure, getting the scope to trigger (use sample mode) on the falling edge of the
battery voltage (I used the anode of the kVp waveform on channel 1 for a trigger.)

4. A alternate technique: Instead of 125 KVP @ 4 mAs - 80 KVP @ 4 mAs can be used - look for an average drop
of less than 13 volts.

5. Note the average drop from the unloaded voltage to the voltage under load. See figure below.

If the average drop is greater than 17 volts the batteries as a set are bad (unless your scope isn't properly calibrated).
At this point you know whether or not the battery set is bad. You won't know how many of the batteries in the set are
actually bad without further testing. If the set is bad and it is fairly new (<2 months old) you may have a single bad
battery. The following test can be used to isolate the problem to an individual battery.

Isolating the problem to an individual battery


1. Take the batteries out of the unit, reassemble them next to the unit and connect them to the AMX 4 + and -
power leads. WATCH THE POLARITY!! USE EXTREME CAUTION MAKING SURE THAT YOU DON'T SHORT A
BATTERY

2. Record the unloaded voltage of each battery.

3. Record the voltage of each battery after 10 seconds under the prep load.

4. If the drop (unloaded voltage minus loaded voltage) on any battery is greater than the drops on any of the other
batteries by more than 0.2 volts, chances are that this is your bad battery.

5. Confidence in this decision can be increased by monitoring the voltage drop on this battery during an exposure
and comparing it to the drop of the other batteries. If you prefer, you can skip steps 3&4 above and record the
voltage drop during an exposure (read off scope) for each battery. A single bad battery should stand out as
having a much greater voltage drop.

6. If you are absolutely sure you have one or two bad batteries, you can replace only the bad batteries. MAKE
SURE THE NEW BATTERIES ARE AT A HIGHER STATE-OF-CHARGE (higher open circuit voltage) THAN
THE OTHER BATTERIES IN THE PACK BEFORE CHARGING.

7. IF YOU CAN NOT CONFIDENTLY ISOLATE THE PROBLEM TO A SINGLE BATTERY, REPLACE THE ENTIRE
SET.

Oscilloscope Sampling Methods

There are two methods of sampling kVp with the Tektronix 2230. The `Peak Detect' and the `Sample' modes (the
Sample mode is used in the 468). The difference is basically this: the `Sample' mode displays a voltage point that was
randomly sampled during the time allotted (e.g., with 1023 sample points at 5 ms/div. yields 4.8875855 ms per
sample). The `Peak' mode displays the the maximum signal that occurred during the sample time. This yields a
completely different display. Aliasing occurs in both modes; however, the `Sample' mode becomes almost unusable.
Attached are some AMX-4 kVp waveforms acquired in both modes for comparison. For more information see
Tektronix Literature No. 46W-605 1, An Introduction to Digital Storage."

SOFTWARE HANDLING DURING CALS

DRIVE PARAMETERS Drive Handle Zero - with no force applied - RELEASE HANDLE - Pressing MAS
DWN will cause voltage from hall effect sensors to be read into controller board, then
digitized and stored in the database as RIGHT INPUT ZERO POINT & LEFT INPUT
ZERO POINT.

Drive Handle Gain - determines torque delivered to drive circuits. For each forward
& reverse gains, voltage is read into controller, gains, minimums, maximums and
polarity are calculated and stored.

BATTERY PARAMETERS VOLTMETER - establishes relationship of actual battery voltage to the VCO output
derived from the battery. Allows system to determine current battery volts when
measurements are taken, i.e., during CAL TAPS, stored in memory as BATTERY
VOLTS CALIBRATION COUNTS.

CHARGER CAL Charge Cal - signals are output from main controller board to charger module.
See CAL CHGR ERRs Commands result in voltage drop across a current sense resistor. FE installs
for voltage levels & freq.voltmeter across current sense for CPU to learn. Then is
converted to frequency. Stored in CHARGE PARAMETERS.

GENERATOR CALS
mAs CAL - injects about a 100 mA signal through an ammeter. The VCO is
converted and read to the display . The operator is prompted to enter the value
read on the ammeter. Output in frequency is 16 kHz at 100.0 mA. VCO output is
converted for 3 sec. and stored as MAS FREQUENCY AT 100MA.
KVP - Matches kVp demand to KVP FDBK at 52, 64, 85, 120 kVp steps. KVP FDBK
is a sample of the primary volts. Software adjusts filament demand and kVp demand
until KVP FDBK matches the demand kVp, and the emission current is close to 100
mA. Before each kVp station, the battery voltage is read once no load and once
when loaded ( 60Hz inv. & rotor is turned on ) Displays each voltage on kVp/mA
display - generally drops .9 - 1.1V. Stored in CALIBRATIBLE X-RAY PARAMETERS

TAPS - establishes relationships of tap selection to KVP DEMAND at specific


emission currents. Defines systems characteristics of as many of the 28 valid tap
combinations possible, starting in the DATA BASE; System resistance which is the
slope of the tap combination load line & effective turns ratio which is y-intercept
KVP at Oma - battery voltage.
Basically electrical characteristics for transformer, batteries, tube. A must for batĆ
tery,transformer or tube change.

FILAMENT CURRENT TABLE - Filament current needed for selected kVp with
minimum KVP overshoot or undershoot. Actual x-ray exposures are taken at
different KVP selections 52, 64, 85, 120 kVp. For each KVP station, 2 tap
combinations are used - the ones that will yield emission currents closest to 90mA
& 110 mA. Linear interpolation is used to determine the filament current demand
values at 90 and 110 mA for each kVp station. These eight calibrated points are
then used to interpolate the remaining filament current table entries in the data base
shown in Table 35, P.111

END RESULT OF GENERATOR CALS - example - 80 kVp 2mAs; on prep the corĆ
rect tap combination is pulled in, learned during taps, - The filament demand output
was learned during filament cals.
First 20-25 ms of exposure regulation occurs.
mA is varied to regulate kVp.
If mAs counter is a little too long before terminating exposure, this means mA must
be low, therefore update AUTO CAL TABLE with new Fil Current Demand value.

FIELD LIGHT - Adjustable 5 to 45 sec


Recommend 15-20 seconds to prolong bulb life.
Max on time address 1A8H, 200 sec before being disable for cooling.
Field Light Cooling Time - cooling time set after light has been on for more than
max on time.
On time starts when field light switch is released.

LOAD DEFAULTS -
Loads NV data base from proms with a set of operating parameters that can be used
as a basic for cals.
All data base values are affected.
All calibrations must be redone.
Any data base customization such as acceleration factor, must be re-entered
through data base access.
Good for troubleshooting in addition to checksum bypass.

EXITING CAL - CHECKSUMS


Intermediate checksums are calculated after calibration is completed; for instance,
when going from "REMOVE METER" to "CALIBRATE mAS"
To exit calibration mode, must go to at least CALIBRATE SYSTEM if not to END
SERVICE MODE.
If calibration is existed before CALIBRATION SYSTEM prompt, will get PWR UP error
TEST4, but no checksums will show up when looking under calibrate system. This is
TOTAL CHECKSUM calculated when operator goes to CALIBRATE SYSTEM. To
clear, re-enter CALIBRATE SYSTEM, then back out correctly.

Main SCR Check

 Turn on unit, depress prep switch. When unit prompts Ready for X-ray", release prep.

 Hook DVM from Q3-A to ground (left most screw). Voltage should be approximately 75 VDC dropping to
approximately 30 VDC or less in a few seconds.

 Hit prep again; after safety contactor pulls in (K7), voltage should jump to battery voltage (within a few volts).

 Release prep, votlage should drop to 30 VDC or less, as in step 2, in a few seconds.

 If not, one or both of the SCRs is bad. Check by removing bottom connection from each SCR and repeating tests
above.

NOTE: A bad SCR will have very low (>100W) resistance from anode to cathode at all times.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION

For NEW AMX-4 installations (that is, received from factory, NOT reinstalled from
another location), acceptance testing is defined as the AMXĆ4 Signature Tests" deĆ
scribed in this direction.

AMXĆ4 Signature Tests" are quality tests which show that the AMXĆ4 unit has been
safely shipped to installation site without damage or change.

The AMXĆ4 Signature Tests consist of two parts:

 XĆRay Generator Signature Test" with radiation exposure measurements at two


combinations of kVp-mAs techniques, with and without the customer's alumiĆ
num filter that is provided with each AMX-4 unit. (Section 4 of this direction.)
 Collimator Alignment Signature Test" to check one transverse edge and one lonĆ
gitudinal edge of collimator light field. (Section 5 of this direction.)

HHS compliance testing (including for factory installed AEC) is performed in the facĆ
tory.

The Signature Tests replace field HHS testing at NEW installations except for the folĆ
lowing conditions as detailed in the flowchart of Illustration 1:

 If either XĆRay Generator Signature Test and/or Collimator Alignment Signature


Test fails to pass, the appropriate HHS testing must be done in field in addition to
the signature tests. (Note that one re-try is allowed for each signature test before
considering test to be a failure.)
 If you do not have an MDH meter, you must do a field test with x-ray film per the
HHS test for Collimator Alignment and SID" INSTEAD OF the Collimator
Alignment Signature Test. (Also, the Field Engineer may choose the option of
testing the collimator with x-ray film instead of doing Collimator Alignment SigĆ
nature Test, even if MDH meter is available.)

Note: If HHS testing is required by customer, then FULL HHS testing must be done
in field in addition to signature tests.

You will be recording field signature test data on Form 1 on last page of this direction. If
any HHS testing is required for any of the above reasons, then you will also be recording
data in appropriate section(s) of the mobile x-ray HHS Form F3382MX. (Form
F3382MX is a condensed version of Form F3382, dedicated specifically to mobile x-ray
units.)

Note: If a Mobil-Aid AEC is field installed on this generator, Form F3382MX is reĆ
quired for the AEC functions, regardless of whether or not Form F3382MX is
required for generator and collimator functions.

In Section 6 of this direction, you are told what documents to send to the appropriate
region filing office for every AMX-4.

SECTION 2
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

1. For X-Ray Generator Signature Test:

 X-ray radiation meter, such as MDH 1015, MDH 2025, Capintec 174, or
Capintec 192A, with radiographic radiation probe
 Lab stand for holding radiographic probe
 THE SAME 2.5 mm Type 1100 Aluminum Filter (Standard Absorber)
shipped with this AMX-4 unit

2. For Collimator Alignment Signature Test:

 MDH 1015 or MDH 2025 radiation meter with a fluoroscopic radiation probe

Note: If you don't have either of these models of MDH meter, you must use x-ray
film and do HHS test of Section 5-7 Collimator Alignment and SID" of
AMX-4 Installation Direction 46-017205, 46-017325, 46-017496, or
2115678-100 instead of the Collimator Alignment Signature Test. Refer to
flowchart of Illustration 1.

(Probes of other meter types are NOT suitable for this test, because they will
not necessarily yield results that correlate with the factory data taken with an
MDH probe. This is because the probe size and geometry is critical to the test
of radiation ratio of half size field to full size field.)

 Lab stand for holding fluoroscopic probe.

SECTION 3
PRELIMINARY STEPS

1. Look at the AMX-4 Serial Number recorded on top of Form 1 (Signature Test
Data Sheet) on last sheet of this direction. Verify that it agrees with the Serial
Number on AMX-4 unit.

2. Put your signature and date of field test on Form 1.

2. Repeat Step 1 of procedure, except with the AMXĆ4 unit set to 125 kVp and 8 mAs.

3. Referring to data recorded for Steps 1 and 2, calculate the X-Ray Generator SigĆ
nature Test ratios at both kVp settings, by dividing exposure value with the alumiĆ
num by exposure value without the aluminum. Record these ratios on Form 1.

4. For both kVp settings, calculate the difference of field test and factory test ratios,
and record these ratio differences in right-hand column of X-Ray Generator
Signature Test chart on Form 1. The ratio differences MUST NOT EXCEED the
specification limit of 0.020.

5. If neither ratio difference exceeds specification limit of 0.020, then jump to Section
5 of this direction. If any ratio difference exceeds 0.020, then continue with Step
6.

6. Continue with this step only if any ratio difference exceeds 0.020. Check set-up
and rerun X-ray Generator Signature Test beginning at Step 1 of procedure, as
one re-try is allowed per flowchart of Illustration 1. Record the new data, ratios,
and ratio differences in Comments Section of Form 1.

7. If neither re-try ratio difference exceeds specification limit of 0.020, then jump
to Section 5 of this direction. If any re-try ratio difference exceeds 0.020, then
continue with step 8.

8. Continue with this step only if there is any re-try failure. Do the kVp accuracy,
mAs metering accuracy, reproducibility of exposure for nonĆAEC Mode and (if
applicable) for AEC mode, and Beam Quality HHS tests of Sections 5-2, 5-3,
5-4 and 5-5 of AMX-4 Installation Direction 46-017205, 46-017325,
46-017496, or 2115678-100.

SECTION 5
COLLIMATOR ALIGNMENT SIGNATURE TEST

SET-UP Set-up for the Collimator Alignment Signature Test. Refer to Illustration 3 for the folĆ
lowing:

Note: If you do not have an MDH meter, you must do field test with x-ray film per
HHS test of Section 5-7 Collimator Alignment and SID" of AMX-4 InstalĆ
lation Direction 46-017205, 46-017325, 46-017496, or 2115678-100 INĆ
STEAD of doing Collimator Alignment Signature Test. (Refer to flowchart of
Illustration 1.) For this case, record test results on AMX-4 HHS Form
F3382MX under Manual Collimator," and then jump to Section 6 of this DiĆ
rection 46-017401.

(Also, the field engineer may use the option of testing the collimator with x-
ray anyway, even if MDH meter is available.)

1. Get the MDH fluoroscopic radiation probe, and draw a pencil line across middle
of the disc-shaped sensor on top side of disc (in the direction parallel to length
of the shaft that supports disc-shaped sensor), per Illustration 3.

(The purpose of this pencil line is to divide the detector sensor into TWO EQUAL
HALVES.)
2. Attach the fluoroscopic radiation probe to lab stand with x-ray sensitive area of
probe within 10 inches + 2 inches of surface that supports lab stand.

Note: Maintain this distance to avoid reading errors due to backscatter.

3. Adjust x-ray focal spot to probe distance (SID) to 40 inches + 1/2 inch.

Note: There are four different combinations of probe location/collimator opening


geometries that will be specified in the procedure. These are shown in IllustraĆ
tions 4 through 7, which will be referred to at the appropriate times during proĆ
cedure.

Note: Best results are obtained with no background (ambient) light, (that is, with
the room dark), when setting light field positioning. Refer to Detail A" of IlĆ
lustration 3 for appearance and where to set.

4. Set AMX-4 unit to 50 kVp and 50 mAs.

Do NOT change this kVp - mAs technic for the remainder of Collimator AlignĆ
ment Signature Test.

5. Do NOT use the 2.5 mm aluminum filter for any of the Collimator Alignment SigĆ
nature Test.

6. Reset radiation meter to display ZERO.

Section 1
INTRODUCTION

1-1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this troubleshooting is to aid the Field Engineer in the troubleshooting and diagnosis of AMX 4 battery
SYSTEM problems.
Symptoms such as: Won't hold a charge", CHARGE COMPLETE when bargraph is at 50%, CHARGE COMPLETE in
15 minutes when the bargraph started at about 10% charge and circuit breaker tripping following CHARGE
COMPLETE may all be caused by one of the many components in the charging system. These components include;
 Line plug/cord reel
 Data base values
 Fuses
 Charger board
 Isolation transformer/choke
 LVLE power supply
 Batteries, and battery cables.

1-2 FAILURE THEORY


The majority of the items listed represent high impedances in the charge circuitry that will keep the batteries from
getting a good charge. When this happens, the CPU is tricked into thinking the batteries have a good charge and then
will terminate the charge mode, prematurely, with CHARGE COMPLETE. Note that once some of these items are
checked for the first time, it may not be necessary to recheck them if the fast bargraph fall-off symptom reoccurs. If
the fast bargraph fall-off symptom reoccurs, the batteries should be retested as well as the charging system.
Battery failures range from shorted cells to weak cells. Shorted cells generally fail within the first 6 months from
manufacture. They are the `ten volters'. After CHARGE COMPLETE, the battery voltage should fall to about 116VDC. A
set with a bad cell will fall to about 114VDC in about 15 minutes after CHARGE COMPLETE. A shorted cell can
generally be measured no-load and will stand out from the rest of the batteries as being much lower in voltage. A
weak cell, in most cases, must be loaded down before it will show up. It will read about 11.4VDC when the others might
read 12.05VDC.
Breaker tripping after charging, while still plugged in, occurs when the open circuit battery voltage drops to 115VDC.
The length of time that the breaker will trip after CHARGE COMPLETE is determined by address 1A5, BREAKER TRIP
TIME. The default value is 3 hours. As mentioned above, the battery voltage should fall to about 116VDC after
CHARGE COMPLETE. Some batteries appear to be resistant to a charge and therefore don't get a good charge,
causing the battery voltage to drop faster than normal at CHARGE COMPLETE.
The following procedure will evaluate some possible fault areas causing the fast bargraph fall-off symptom.

Section 2
INSPECT CORD REEL

The cord reel consists of a line plug, line cord and brushes. The integrity of the reel will be checked.

2-1 LINE PLUG


1. Turn off main breaker.
2. Remove the strain relief on the back of the plug.
3. Remove 3 screws holding the plug to the plug cover.
4. Verify that the BLK, WHT & GRN wires do not pull out of the plug and are securely fastened with the
holding screws.
5. Tighten if necessary.
6. Reassemble plug.

2-2 CORD REEL RESISTANCE


1. Check resistance of cord reel using an Ohm meter.
2. Connect one lead of the Ohm meter to the brass colored blade on the end of the charger plug.
Connect the other lead to A3TS3-2 (below charger board, behind the fuse bracket). Reading should
read less than 1 ohm
3. Slowly pull the cord reel all the way out and back in again. The meter reading should not change by
more than a few tenths of an ohm.
4. Next, connect one lead of the Ohm meter to the silver colored blade on the end of the charger plug.
Connect the other lead to A2TS3-1 (below charger board, behind the fuse bracket)). Reading should
read less than 1 ohm.
5. Slowly pull the cord reel all the way out and back in again. The meter reading should not change by
more than a few tenths of an ohm.
6. Connect one lead to the ground prong of the charger plug. Connect the other lead the main ground
stud. Reading should be less than 1 ohm.
7. Slowly pull the cord reel all the way out and back in again. The meter reading should not change by
more than a few tenths of an ohm.

2-3 CHECK CORD REEL CRIMPS


(Does not apply to IEC or French version AMX 4 units)
1. Check the crimps on the push-ons on the cord reel.
2. Remove the wires coming from the cord reel from the back of F1 and F2. It may be necessary to
remove the LVLE power supply to get at the back of the fuses.
3. Visually inspect the crimps. Check to see if the insulation has been crimped. If so, then reterminate
the wire(s) at this time.
4. Reinstall the black (or brown) wire to F1 the white (or blue) wire to F2.
5. Reinstall the LVLE, if previously removed.

Section 5
VOLTMETER/CHARGER CHECK

NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE DVM USED IS IN CALIBRATION AND FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.
A 1 VOLT ERROR CAN THROW OFF THE BARGRAPH BY 50% OR MORE!!

5-1 VOLTMETER
1. Enter the calibration mode per appropriate AMX 4 Calibration" Direction 46-017206, 46-017326, or
46-017497.
Select CAL VOLTMETER and proceed with the calibration.
2. Place DVM meter leads at the circuit breaker to the ground stud.
3. Enter the correct value if it does not agree with the DVM.

NOTE: If the initial voltage reading from the AMX 4 display differs from the DVM by more than 0.2 volts, this
could be the cause of the charging problems and/or fast bargraph fall-off. However, continue with the
checks in this document after the voltmeter calibration is complete.

5-2 CHARGER
1. Select CALIBRATE CHARGER and proceed with the calibration. Refer to the appropriate AMX 4
Calibration" Direction 46-017206, or 46-017497. You should get the 2 readings 1.2v and 2.4v on the
DVM. If you do not, replace the charger board.
2. Exit calibration and return to the applications mode.

5-3 LINE VOLTAGE TO CHARGER BRIDGE


1. Measure the customer's line voltage where the AMX 4 unit is normally plugged in for charging. The
line voltage must be within the following parameters:

105 to 132 for 120VAC nominal


210 to 264 for 230VAC nominal
90 to 110 for 100VAC nominal

2. Plug in the charger cord and enter the charge mode.


3. Measure the voltage on the charger bridge, A3TS2-4 to charger board A3A1J5-5.
Acceptable tange is 107-134VAC.
If not, suspect isolation transformer A3T3, choke A3L2, low line voltage, line cord and associated
wiring.
4. Unplug charger cord.

Section 6
VERIFY FUNCTION OF CHARGER BOARD

NOTE: The batteries should have close to a full charge in them or this procedure could take a long time.

6-1 CHECK LVLE SUPPLIES DIRECTLY ON CHARGER BOARD!


1. Main breaker on. Turn on the key switch.
2. Place DVM across the following capacitors on the charger board;
Check +5VDC DVM across A1C50. +5VDC +/-0.1VDC
Check +15VDC DVM across A1C49. +15VDC +/-0.3VDC
Check -15VDC DVM across A1C25. -15VDC +/-0.3VDC
3. Connect DVM to TP1 on the Charger Board. If a second meter is available, connect it to TP4 of the
Charger Board; Ground on left side of A1C49.
NOTE: The batteries may be removed from the AMX unit at this time, but is not required for this evaluation.
Individual batteries will be monitored later.

4. Attach the load box to the AMX. Black lead to the ground stud, Red lead to the top terminalof the
circuit breaker.
5. Turn the dial of the load box to approx. 10 minutes. Push the button until the red light comes on.
6. Plug in the charger cord. This will charge the batteries while the load box is on. Verify that the unit
displays `CHARGING'.
7. Verify that TP1 voltage goes to -5VDC +/-0.5VDC about 15 seconds after the cord is plugged in.
This verifies that the correct command is being sent to the charger.

TP1 VOLTAGE

8. Move the DVM to TP4, if second meter is not available.


9. Read the voltage at TP4 of the charger board. This voltage should climb as soon as the TP1 voltage
is at 5VDC and stabilize at something less than 10VDC. This check that the errors amplifier is not
saturated.
TP4 VOLTAGE

10. Now measure the voltage across the SENSOR RESISTOR R1. This should be 6.25+/-0.25VDC.
(With a command of 5 volts, this should provide a current of 2.5 amps through the sense resistor (R1)
which should give a voltage of 6.25VDC across R1, current sense resistor.

11. Monitor the battery voltage by hooking the DVM between the ground stud and the top terminal of the
circuit breaker. Let the load box time out. When this happens, verify that the battery voltage rises at
least 1 volt. This shows that the load box indeed has an effect on the batteries.
12. Keep watching the battery voltage. When it gets to 127VDC, go to the next step.
13. In the meantime, hook your oscilloscope to TP6. Verify that the VCO is outputting close to the
following frequencies. These frequencies alternate continously during charging to tell the CPU the
charging status. See Ill. 1.
This is a 24VDC square wave signal.

Tolerance is +/-20%.

14. When the battery voltage gets to 127VDC, read the voltage across the sense resistor, R1. This voltage
should be greater than 4 volts (but less than 6.25).

15. Continue to monitor battery voltage and sense resistor voltage. Verify that the battery voltage
stabilizes at about 130VDC +/-2VDC, and the charge current slowly decreases.
NOTE: The charger will go to CHARGE COMPLETE when the voltage across R1~1.65VDC. However, it is
not necessary to charge the batteries to CHARGE COMPLETE at this time. Towards the end of the charge
cycle, the charger will appear to turn on and off, or cycle. This is normal.

7-1 CHECK BATTERIES

1. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment using the procedure of Section 6-1, Battery
Removal" from AMX 4 Service" Direction 46-017220, 46-017328, or 46-017499. Pay particular
attention to the tightness of the lugs when loosening them. Loose connections will cause problems.
2. Inspect the battery seam welds around the vent strip corners. They should not move or separate
when pryed upward with a fingernail or small screwdriver. If so, then that cell is defective.
3. Reconnect the batteries in series, plus-to-minus, on the floor, close enough to the AMX 4 so that
they can be connected to the unit.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the battery terminals, torque to 30 in-lbs +/-5in-lbs.
(3.39 N-m +/-0.57 N-m)
4. Connect BATT+ to the circuit breaker, connect BATT- to the ground stud.
5. Connect the load box across the batteries; Black clip to the ground stud and Red clip to the top lug
on the circuit breaker.
6. Number the cells with a felt tip marker, 1 through 9.
7. Measure the battery set voltage from the circuit breaker to the ground stud no-load and note the
voltage readings in table 7-1 in the back of this document.
8. Measure each cell (no-load) in order, 1 through 9 and record in table 7-1.
NOTE: The spread of individual battery voltages, no-load should be no more than 0.20 volts. If one
battery stands out (low voltage) in this manner, continue with the testing, paying attention to the loaded
voltage values.
9. Set the load box to 15 minutes. Push the START" button on the load box until the RUN" light on the
front of the fixture comes on. The RUN" light will come on when the fan is up to speed.
NOTE: Check that BOTH heating elements in the Battery Load Fixture are glowing, by looking into the
frontt side (the side with the time knob) of the fixture.
10. After about 60 seconds, measure each cell in order, 1-9 and record them in table 7-1. Also, note
the total battery voltages. Do this as quickly as possible.
11. When the total battery voltage gets to 107VDC, again measure each cell 1 through 9 and record in the
table. When complete, turn off the load box.

AVOID DISCHARGING THE BATTERIES BELOW 107VDC.

12. Review the data and refer to section 7-2 to identify possible bad batteries.
13. If one or 2 batteries have been identified as being defective mark them accordingly and reinstall the
set with the defective cells at the front by the battery compartment door. This will make is very easy
and quick to replace the defective batteries on the return trip.

7-2 LOOK FOR BAD CELLS

 All the batteries in the group should be very close to each other, loaded voltage wise; approx. 0.07VDC
(typical), highest reading to lowest reading. At 107VDC, each battery should read approx. 11.85VDC.
 If 1 or 2 cells have been recently replaced, it is possible that both their loaded and unloaded voltage may
be slightly higher that the rest of the batteries. This is normal. This can be determined by checking the test
date on the label. An original set of batteries will all have the same test date.
 A shorted cell will read about 10.5VDC (no-load). If there is a shorted cell, then that cell may be replaced
if the set is 12 months old or less. If the set of batteries is 12 to 16 months old, a single cell replacement can
be attempted with moderate success, but the battery system operation cannot be guaranteed.
 A weak cell or a cell with a bad seam will read 11.6VDC or lower, when loaded.
 If the difference for any battery (under load) is greater than 0.15VDC and the difference for all the other
batteries is less than 0.10VDC, then the battery with the large difference can be considered to have a single
bad cell and this battery should be replaced individidually.
 When replacing a single battery, make sure that the voltage of the replacement battery is 0.10 to 0.40VDC
higher than the average voltage of the remaining eight original batteries. This must be done in order to ensure
proper equalization of the battery set. The new battery may have to be discharged a little, or the other
batteries can be charged to bring them closer together in voltage.
 After replacing defective individual cells, force the unit into extended charge. See section 7-3 for this
procedure.
If you are not able to diagnose a problem in any of th areas covered by this guide, including a battey or batteries,
contact the National Support Center (NSC), at this time.

SECTION 1
PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to remove the old design latch base assembly from the
generator and the latch pin assembly from the horizontal arm, and to install a new latch
base assembly and latch pin assembly.

SECTION 2
BACKGROUND

The hardware to be installed consists of a new latch base assembly that has a new design
for the latch switch. The function of the latch switch is to indicate to the AMX-4 drive
and to the X-ray control system whether the arm/tube assembly is in the latched
position.

The new switch design is a non-contact Hall effect sensor which is backward
compatible with the existing AMX-4 electronics. The function of the new latch pin
assembly is to house the magnet for the operation of the Hall effect sensor. The new
assemblies are also mechanically backward compatible so that no modifications to the
AMX-4 are required to use this new hardware.

SECTION 3
PROCEDURE

1. Turn the AMX-4 unit OFF" at the key switch.

2. Disable the power to the AMX-4 system by flipping the circuit breaker to the
OFF" position (down).

3. Remove the three 6-32 screws that hold the trim ring onto the latch base/top
cover assembly, and remove the trim ring.

4. Rotate the retaining clips forward that release the top cover, and lift the top cover
to gain access to the electrical terminal strip (AMX1 A2 TS2) that the latch switch
and solenoid are connected to. (Refer to Illustration 1.)

5. Disconnect the two leads of the latch switch from the terminal strip (terminals A2
TS2-1 and 2).

6. Disconnect the two leads of the latch solenoid from the terminal strip (terminals
A2 TS2-3 and 4).

7. Remove the four 1/4-20 socket head screws and washers that hold the latch base
assembly to the generator assembly. Remove the latch base assembly and discard.
(Refer to Illustration 1.)

8. Route the wires through the appropriate openings in the generator assembly, and
mount the new latch base assembly to it using new furnished hardware (four
1/4-20 x .625 LG socket head screws and four flat washers). Center the latch base
assembly in the aluminum mounting plate adjustment slots. Run the screws down
to position the latch base, but do not tighten.

9. Lower the top cover into position. Latch the arm into the latch base. Reposition
the latch base assembly to provide equal clearance to the ears of the latch pin asĆ
sembly. Check clearance when parking arm from either side.

Note: Use care in repositioning the latch base assembly. Do not hammer on or near
the Hall effect switch.

10. Raise and latch the top cover. Torque the attachment screws to 90 in-lbs (10.2 N-
m).

11. Connect the solenoid leads to the terminal strip. Connect the red lead from the
solenoid to terminal A2 TS2-4. Connect the black lead from the solenoid to terĆ
minal A2 TS2-3.

12. Connect the latch switch assembly leads to the terminal strip. Connect the black
lead from the switch to terminal A2 TS2-3. Connect the yellow lead from the
switch to terminal A2 TS2-2. Connect the blue lead from the switch to terminal
A2 TS2-1.

13. Remove the four 1/4-20 screws and washers, and remove the latch pin assembly
from the horizontal arm. When this is done, the horizontal arm lock pin is unreĆ
strained and should be removed as well. (Refer to Illustration 2.)

14. Install the new latch pin assembly (46-316307G1) with new furnished hardware
(four 1/4-20 x .625 LG socket head screws and four flat washers). Make sure that
the horizontal arm lock pin is installed at this time as well. Leave the attachment
screws loose until the latch is aligned.

15. Lower the top cover and lock in place.

16. Latch the horizontal arm and allow the latch pin to align itself to the latch base.
Make sure that the pin is at the bottom of the slot in the latch base assembly, and
that the latch lock is fully engaged.

17. Unlatch the horizontal arm while holding the latch pin assembly and maintaining
the alignment. Tighten the latch pin assembly attachment screws so that they are
snug, but do not torque them yet.

18. Check alignment (the latch pin should not hit any part of the latch base until it botĆ
toms out on the base latch assembly slot). When alignment is satisfactory, torque
the latch pin attachment screws to 90 in-lbs (10.2 N-m).

19. Install the trim ring onto the latch base with the three 6-32 screws.

20. Flip the AMX-4 circuit breaker switch to the ON" position (up).

21. Turn the key switch to the ON" position and let the AMX-4 unit go through its
self-checks.

22. Verify that the unit drives at full speed when the horizontal arm is in the latched
position, and half speed when the horizontal arm is unlatched.

2Ć1 Gates Batteries No-Load Test


Note: The new Gates batteries were thoroughly tested prior to being packed for this
battery installation kit. Although we don't expect it to happen, it is possible for
batteries to develop a cell short while in storage.

Therefore this No-Load test is a quality field test that must be performed on
the Gates batteries outside of AMX unit, before removing Hawker batteries
from AMX.

PERSONAL INJURY!
REMOVE ALL JEWELRY AND RINGS WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES.
WARNING
USE EXTREME CAUTION; HIGH AMPERAGE AND VOLTAGE IS
PRESENT. USE INSULATED TOOLS FOR WORKING ON BATTERIES.

Note: Do NOT connect the Gates batteries to each other or to the AMX for following
No-Load Test.

1. Number the Gates batteries with a felt tip marker, 1 through 9.

2. Measure each battery voltage (no-load) in order, 1 through 9, and record in Table
1 of this direction in columns marked NO-LOAD VOLTAGE".

3. Sum the nine individual battery voltages just recorded, in columns marked NO-
LOAD VOLTAGE", and record that sum in box marked TOTAL SET NO-
LOAD VOLTAGE" in Table 1.

4. Divide the TOTAL SET NO-LOAD VOLTAGE" sum by 9, and record that valĆ
ue in box marked AVERAGE BATTERY NO-LOAD VOLTAGE" in Table 1.

5. Now, in Table 1, compare the individual NO-LOAD VOLTAGE" values against


the AVERAGE BATTERY NO-LOAD VOLTAGE" value. Any battery that is
more than 0.2 volts lower than the AVERAGE BATTERY NO-LOAD VOLTĆ
AGE" value failed the No-Load test.

6. If any of these new Gates batteries failed the no-load test, order 46-329097P1
for replacement battery(s).

Do the following sections, in sequence indicated below, from AMX-4 Calibration DiĆ
rection.

Note: To save time, you should install high voltage bleeder and set up oscilloscope for
proper triggering before you enter calibration mode.

CAUTION Observe proper radiation safety when making x-ray exposures!

1. Section 3-6: Load Default Values"

Note: Section 3-6 must be done before calibration of any item.

Note: After loading defaults, checksum errors will be displayed if you transition to
top menu level. Until AMX-4 is totally calibrated, these checksum errors will
be displayed as a reminder that system is not fully calibrated. Simply push the
mAs switch to continue past each checksum message, then mAs
to enter
calibration.

2. Section 3-1: Calibrate Drive Handle"

3. Section 3-2: Calibrate Voltmeter"

4. Section 3-3: Calibrate Generator"

Note: In order to assure exposure accuracy at high technique and low battery voltage,
DO NOT calibrate generator when battery voltage is 115 volts or greater.
Note: If there are TUBE SPITS at high kVp's during Calibrate Taps," try to slow the
pace of calibration when the kVp is greater than 115 kVp. That is, wait approxiĆ
mately 45 seconds between exposures, and keep the unit in prep longer by alĆ
lowing the message READY FOR X-RAY" to be displayed for 5 seconds beĆ
fore pressing expose switch.
5. Section 3-4: Calibrate Charger"

6. Section 3-5: Adjust Field Light On Time"

7. Section 3-7, steps 1 through 6: End Calibration"

Note: Step 6 of Section 3-7 of AMX-4 calibration direction requires functional


checks of calibrated items in order to ensure proper operation.

2Ć5 Final Steps


1. Attach the furnished battery label 46-329183P1 as shown in Illustration 7. Place
it over old battery polarity label (if present).

2. Be sure that the circuit breaker still OFF," and reinstall all covers.

3. Do a complete functional check of the AMX unit, including making exposures.

4. Recommend to the customer that he put the AMX unit on charge for an least one

Battery charging is as easy as driving the AMX-4 to a correctly rated wall outlet and
plugging the unit in. Ratings are as follows:
D For Models 2115090 & 2115090-7: 120 Volts AC, 60 Hz at 6 amps.
D ForĂModels 2115090-2, 2115090-6, 2115090-8 & 2115090-11: 220/240 Volts
AC, 50 Hz at 3.15 amps.
D For Models 2115090-4, 2115090-5, 2115090-9 & 2115090-10: 100 Volts AC,
50/60 Hz at 6 amps.
The time required to fully recharge the AMX-4 batteries will vary according to batĆ
tery charge level as indicated on the battery status display.
During recharge the AMX-4 capacity gauge increases as the unit is charged. To reĆ
charge from 10% to 100% typically requires 4-5 hours.
Occasionally the AMX-4 automatically performs an extended charge to make sure
that all portions of the battery's internal plates get fully charged. This extended charge
occurs about every tenth time the battery is charged.
To recharge from 10% to 100% during an extended charge typically requires 10 hours.
The AMX-4 will continue to attempt extended charges until at least half of the exĆ
tended charge time is complete.

 The extended charge will be transparent to the operator. The only indicaĆ
tion that it is in progress is the longer charge time.

Although portable application will vary site to site, under most operating conditions, a
fully charged AMX-4 is designed to supply enough charge for a typical 8-hour shift.
The AMX-4 capacity gauge visually represents the amount of battery capacity reĆ
maining via a 48 segment bar graph display.
