Power”.
2) “Nominal Continuous Input Power” is specified at 750 kJ of full housing heat storage
which is generated by X-ray tube anode input power, stator input power and filament
heating input power.

The Rupture Disc is mounted on anode side housing wall.

When external cover is removed, it is visibly recognized as labeled with label G) in next page.

Rupture Disc
Anode side wall

Followings are important notice of the Rupture Disc:

Function: When housing inner pressure reaches to the working pressure of the Rupture Disc, the
Rupture Disc collapses and vaporized oil and hot oil flow through the collapsed Rupture
Disc.
The external cover can protect the initial impact of oil flow, however, it can not protect oil
drop or oil leakage.

Caution: 1. Never touch the Rupture Disc or remove the label and the screws.
Otherwise, it could cause collapse of Rupture Disc.
2. Please note the Rupture Disc is not the device to protect X-ray tube from destruction
when over rated power input but just to reduce the impact of housing rupture.

Warning

Warning to Interface with X-ray Generator

1. Housing Rupture
Never input over rated power to X-ray tube assembly.
If the input power exceeds tube specification, it causes the over temperature of anode, insert tube
glass shatter and ultimately the following serious problems due to generating over-pressure by oil
vaporization inside housing assembly.
In such a critical condition causing housing rupture by over load, the safety thermal switch can not
protect X-ray tube even if it works.
*Housing sealing parts rupture.
*Human injury including burns due to hot oil escape.
*Fire accident due to flaming anode target.
The X-ray generator should have a protective function which manages input power to be within
tube specification.

2. Over Load Protection

X-ray tube assembly has a thermal protection device to notice the generator to terminate the input
power. However it only works for gradual temperature increase when the tube is operated within
the specified X-ray condition (but too long repetitive use). And the protection is not effective in
such a case that rapid increase of target temperature destroys insert tube under overrated input.
In this sense, over load protection is definitely required on X-ray generator.
From the point of effective and reliable operation, the followings are recommended:
* Software control:
CPU calculates the total input power and controls the target temperature.
This protection is effective to human error.
* Independent protection circuit:
Independent shut down circuit separated from X-ray control unit is effective and reliable.

3. Rupture Disc
Never touch the Rupture Disc located on anode side wall and the screws.
And when rotor cable is attached, be careful that the rotor cable should not be located on or over
the Rupture Disc for the following mechanical reason.
The Rupture Disc is the device which protects X-ray tube assembly from harmful destruction by its
mechanical collapse.
When extreme over rated power is input to X-ray tube assembly, the Rupture Disc activates and
hot oil escapes through the collapsed Rupture Disc for safety purpose.
For the reliable mechanical process, nothing should be located on or over the Rupture Disc.

4. Electric Shock
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply with
protective earth.

Cautions

Caution to Interface with X-ray Generator

1. Over Rating
X-ray tube assembly can be broken with applying just one over rated shot.
Please read the technical data sheets carefully and follow the instructions.

2. Permanent Filtration
The total filtration and the distance between X-ray focal spot and human body are regulated
legally. They should be complied with the regulation.

3. Safety Thermal Switch

X-ray tube assembly has safety thermal switch to prohibit further input power when the tube
housing reaches to the temperature of switch-open.
The switch should be hooked up with the X-ray generator which control output power to X-ray tube
assembly.
The switch is not recommended connecting stator coil in series circuit.
Even if the switch works, never turn the system power off. The cooling unit should be activated if
used with the system.

4. Unexpected Malfunction
X-ray tube assembly may have the risk to be unexpectedly malfunctioning due to life termination
or failure. If the serious problems caused by the above risk is expected, you are requested to have
a contingency plan to avoid such a case.

5. New Application
If you use the product with new application not to be mentioned in this specification or with
different type of X-ray generator, please contact to us for confirming its availability.

Caution for Installation, Adjustment and Maintenance

1. Qualified Persons
Only qualified persons who have technical training and professional knowledge can handle X-ray
tube assembly.

2. Fragile Glass
X-ray tube is assembled with glass, therefore, it can be broken with the mechanical vibration or
pulsed shock over 19.6m/s2 (2G).
Careful handling is required to treat or transport.

3. Ground Terminal
X-ray tube assembly has ground terminal. Ground cable should be connected.

4. High Voltage
All X-ray tubes operate at voltages high enough to kill through electrical shock. Never touch the
high voltage delivered plugs or terminals.
When direct access to such parts is required, the primary circuit should be disabled and high
voltage capacitors/cables discharged.

5. High Voltage Plug

High voltage plug should be cleaned up and free from any physical damages. Silicon compound
application is required for high voltage stability.

6. Rotating Anode
(1) Test rotation of the anode with the large focus filament at the preheat condition. At this time, do
not apply the tube voltage.

(2) When the hand switch "READY" button is pressed, the filament will become brighter and the
anode target will start rotating. The anode for normal speed will reach the predetermined
number of revolution in 0.4 to 1 sec., and it will continue rotation for some time after the stator
drive input is cut off.
The anode for high speed shall be automatically braked to reduced speed and continue
coasting after the drive input to the stator is cut off.

Issued : 2016-04-15
Revised :
16/25
 SPECIFICATION
XRR-3332X

(3) Ensure that the anode target rotates in the proper direction.
X-ray tube should always rotate counter-clockwise, viewing from the cathode side.

- Confirm direction of rotation -

(4) If the inside of any tube unit cannot be observed (for example, the tube unit with a beryllium
window, etc.), check the tube unit to ensure again that the terminal numbers of the drive circuit
of the low-voltage terminals are properly connected.

7. Operation Atmosphere
X-ray tube assembly is not allowed to be used in the atmosphere of flammable or corrosive gas.

8. Protective Cover
X-ray tube assembly is not allowed to be used without the protective cover attached.

9. Handling
Appropriate jig or tools are required for tube installation to avoid physical damages.

10. Returning Tube

X-ray tube assembly should be repackaged with the original material when it is returned back for
quality examination in our factory. Be careful to put the tube upside cathode. If the packaging is
not proper, the tube may not be correctly examined. TETD does not warrant it if returned X-ray
tube assembly is in damage at receiving.

 SPECIFICATION
XRR-3332X

Caution in Operation
1. X-ray Radiation
X-ray tube assembly should have the beam limiting equipment mounted on the X-ray port to
protect unnecessary radiation.

2. Dielectric Oil
X-ray tube assembly has dielectric oil contained for high voltage stability. As it is poisonous for
human health, if it is exposed to the non-restricted area, it should be disposed as following to the
local regulation.

3. Operation Atmosphere
X-ray tube assembly is not allowed to be used in the atmosphere of flammable or corrosive gas.

4. Disposal
X-ray tube housing is lined with lead to protect unnecessary radiation.
The lead powder or vapor is harmful for human health.
Dispose the scrapped products according to the requirement of local regulation.

5. Adjust the Tube Current

Depending on the operating conditions, the filament characteristics might be changed.
This change might lead to the over rate exposure to X-ray tube assembly.
To prevent the X-ray tube assembly from being damaged, adjust the tube current regularly.
Besides when "ROTANODE" has arcing problem in a long time use, adjustment of the tube
current is required.

6. X-ray Tube Housing Temperature

Do not touch on X-ray tube housing surface just after operation due to high temperature.
Stay X-ray tube to be cooled.

7. Operating Limits

Seasoning of Tubes

WARNING
All radiation safety rules must be observed. In order to protect all personnel from harmful
X-ray radiation exposure, close the collimator and / or block the tube assembly radiation
port with at least a six (6) mm thick piece of lead.

This instruction has been prepared for personnel who install or service the TOSHIBA Rotating Anode
X-ray tube Assemblies - “ROTANODE”

This procedure establishes the proper method to enable the ROTANODE X-ray tube to be 'seasoned'
when it is put into operation for the first time, or when it has not been used for more than one week, or
when the daily kV used is greater then 120 kV. The seasoning procedures must be carried out to
assure subsequent trouble-free operation and to maximize X-ray tube life.

Do not perform an exposure with no X-ray tube current flows. Be sure to have X-ray tube
current, at any time during exposures.

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Use the larger focal spot of the tube for radiographic exposures. Use the circuit specified in
technical data.
2. The tube voltage and current must be monitored for all exposures during this seasoning
operation.
3. The anode rotation should be done with normal speed (50Hz or 60Hz motor drive).
4. Do not exceed the ratings as detailed in the technical data provided with the ROTANODE X-ray
tube.
5. Do not exceed the rating of the Starter or High voltage Generator as detailed in the technical data
provided.

WARNING
All radiation safety rules must be observed. In order to protect all personnel from harmful
X-ray radiation exposure, close the collimator and / or block the tube assembly radiation
port with at least a six (6) mm thick piece of lead.

PROCEDURES:
Select the applicable procedure for each X-ray tube from the procedures described below.

CAUTION - If any abnormality in kV or mA is observed during these procedures, reduce the kV until no
abnormality is observed and then increase the kV at a slower rate than detailed in the
applicable table.
(The maximum tube testing voltage must be strictly limited to the maximum rated tube
voltage of the unit.)

NOTE - Even if arcing occures during the seasoning process, by complying with the CAUTION
detailed above, and by completing the seasoning procedure, then the arcing will be eliminated
and the X-ray tube may be operated normally without damage to the ROTANODE.
