Section 4: Troubleshooting
4.1 ORGANIZATION
This section provides troubleshooting procedures for detecting and identifying
malfunctions in the EmpowerCT and EmpowerCTA Injector Systems. For
most situations, the procedures and terminology are the same for both
systems. In those cases, the term Empower Injector System is used to imply
the EmpowerCT and EmpowerCTA. Where applicable, differences are
identified in the individual procedures, or, in some cases, addressed in
separate procedures.
Note: Some procedures for the EmpowerCTA Injector System may also apply
to more recent EmpowerCT Injector Systems. The photographs provided in
each procedure will help determine which procedure should be used.
The troubleshooting procedures are divided into six categories (see Table
4-1) and are presented in the order of complexity beginning with the simpler
and more obvious faults and moving on to more advanced diagnostics.
1. Ensure that the Power Supply’s and Remote Control’s AC/Mains power
cords are plugged into electrical outlets and into their respective devices.
5. Check the Injector, Remote Control, and EDA software revision levels on
the Remote Control’s Service Screen. Consult with ACIST Service
Department for the latest applicable software revisions (see Section 6 —
Software Installation).
To select the proper procedure for EmpowerCT systems, remove the Injector
Controller cable cover (see Section 5.4.1 – Replacing the Injector Controller
Cable Cover) and match the rear view to Figures 4-2a or Figure 4-2b.

Test for short circuits between pins and for an open circuit in each
path.
The Injector’s Power Supply and the Remote Control have their own
AC/Mains power cords that are plugged into separate outlets. It is unlikely
that the failure of a single component will prevent both of them from powering
up. Should they both fail to power up, do the following:
1. Test the voltages at both outlets. Both outlets may be on the same branch
as a tripped circuit breaker. If both voltages are within specification for the
facility, proceed to the next step.

Use the following procedure when the EmpowerCTA System displays fault
code 227.
1. Do the following:
a. Note which Injector (Contrast or Saline) was enabled when the fault
code was displayed.
c. On the Injector Controller, enable the other Injector and energize its
RAM. Observe if the Injector Controller displays fault code 227 again.
Note: Do not attempt to move the RAM in the Injector that originally
failed. This will cause the Injector to lose power.
> If fault code 227 is not displayed again (the problem occurs in
only one Injector), proceed to Step 2.
Note: This will associate the Motors and Linear Potentiometers with
the opposite Injectors. Remember to replace the original connections
following testing.
d. Repeat Step 1. Observe if fault code 227 reoccurs with the same
Injector. Make certain to activate both Injectors and attempt to move
their RAMS.
> If fault code 227 is displayed again for the same Injector,
replace components in the following order (power down the
Injector before each replacement and retest the system after
each replacement):
> If fault code 227 is displayed for the other Injector, replace the
motor (see Section 5.5.7 – Replacing the EmpowerCT Motor).
Use the following procedure when the EmpowerCTA System displays fault
code 234.
1. Do the following:
a. Note which Injector (Contrast or Saline) was enabled when the fault
code was displayed.
c. On the Injector Controller, enable the other Injector and energize its
RAM. Observe if the Injector Controller displays fault code 234 again.
Note: Do not attempt to move the RAM in the Injector that originally
failed. This will cause the Injector to lose power.
> If fault code 234 is not displayed again (the problem occurs in
only one Injector), proceed to Step 2.
Note: This will associate the Linear Potentiometers and Motors with
the opposite Injectors. Remember to replace the original connections
following testing.
c. Replace the Injector Head’s Rear Enclosure and power up the Injector.
d. Repeat Step 1. Observe if fault code 234 reoccurs with the same
Injector. Make certain to activate both Injectors and attempt to move
their RAMS.
> If fault code 234 is displayed again for the same Injector,
replace components in the following order (power down the
Injector before each replacement and retest the system after
each replacement):
> If fault code 234 is displayed for the other Injector, replace the
linear potentiometer (see Section 5.5.9 – Replacing the Linear
Potentiometer).
Note: These messages show EDA status during normal operation and do not
necessarily reflect system problems. A problem may exist only if the message
is not cleared after technologist intervention.
2. Ensure the following conditions are met and retest after each step:
a. There are no damaged parts of the EDA Clip (look for cracks and
frayed wiring).
3. If the problem still exists, do the following and retest after each step:
a. Clean the gold contacts on the EDA Clip using a cotton swab and
alcohol.
c. Remove the EDA PCB (see Section 5.8.1 – Replacing the EDA PCB).
Use the digital voltmeter to test the EDA Receptacle Assembly. Test
for short circuits between pins and for an open circuit in each path.
2. Inspect the Locking Detent Rod. Make certain that the bowed e-ring on
the Locking Detent Rod is in place and undamaged (see Figure 4-16a for
CT systems and Figure 4-16b for CTA systems). If necessary, replace the
bowed e-ring; otherwise, replace the Detent Rod (see Section 5.5.10 –
Replacing the EmpowerCT Locking Detent Rod Assembly or
Section 5.5.11 – Replacing the EmpowerCTA Locking Detent Rod
Assembly).

When the Syringe Nest Door is open, a properly functioning system will
prompt the user to close the door by displaying the appropriate message. The
following wording is used by the CT and CTA systems.
Use the following procedures when the Syringe Nest Door is closed and the
system falsely displays one the above messages, or when the Syringe Door
is open and the system fails to display the appropriate message.
1. Bring the Injector RAM to the fully retracted position (for CTA system, do
this for both RAMs). If necessary, do this manually by turning the Injector
Hand Knob at the rear of the Injector Head.
b. Skip to Step 7.
b. Connect the Gnd lead to pin #34 (Gnd) on the breakout box.
c. Continue to Step 7.
7. Do the following:
b. Open and close the Syringe Nest Door a few times (for CTA systems,
select the Syringe Nest Door on the problem syringe assembly).
Observe that the digital voltmeter shows the Syringe Nest Door
opening and closing by displaying 0 to 1 VDC when the Syringe Nest
Door is closed and 4 to 5 VDC when the syringe nest door is open.
> If the digital voltmeter shows the Syringe Nest opening and
closing, replace components in the following order (power
down the Injector and the Remote Control before each
replacement and retest the system after each replacement):
> If the digital voltmeter does not show the Syringe Nest Door
opening and closing, proceed to the next step.
8. Disconnect the breakout box from the Injector Controller PCB. On the
24-pin connector, test the pin #1 path (for CT system), the pin #13 path
(for Saline Injector on the CTA system), or the pin #21 path (for Contrast
Injector on the CTA system) as follows:

c. Use the digital voltmeter to test the selected path for open, then test for
shorts with other pins.
This starts a software timer that will allow power to be applied to the warmer
for 1 hour. If the above events have not occurred, then there will be no heat
at the warmer. In CTA systems, it is applied to the Contrast Injector only.
Note: The warmer works in a cyclical fashion, heating and cooling, with a
certain amount of hysteresis between these events. If you grip the warmer
while it is in the “cooling” phase it may not feel warm.
a. The resistance across pin #3 and pin #4 Figure 4-18: Syringe Warmer Conn
should be between 9 to 12 kohms
(thermistor).
b. The resistance across pin #1 and pin #2 should be 120 to 160 ohms
(heater).
3. Reinstall the Syringe Warmer on the Injector Head (in CTA systems,
install on the Contrast Injector). Use the digital voltmeter to make
resistance measurements on the 24-pin cable as follows:
b. Measure the resistance across pin #19 (gray on white) and pin #23
(orange on yellow). The resistance should be 9 to 12 kohms
(thermistor).
c. Measure the resistance across pin #1 (black) and pin #14 (orange on
white). The resistance should be 120 ohms to 160 ohms (heater).
Figure 4-19a: CT System Controller Figure 4-19b: CTA & Later CT Systems
c. Power up the system and perform the load syringe, initialize, and fill
with contrast procedures (loading actual contrast is not necessary).
The Syringe Warmer should activate. Measure 2.0 to 3.0 VDC.
d. Connect the digital voltmeter test leads to the breakout box (pin #1 =
HEATER, pin #34 = GND). Measure 4 to 5 VDC.
Perform this step only if one or both measurements in Step 3 (Section 4.7.4 –
Syringe Warmer Doesn’t Warm) failed.

> If any path has an open or a short, replace the 24-pin cable
(see Section 5.3.3 – Replacing the 24-Pin Cable).
> If all paths are good, replace components in the following order
(power down the Injector and the Remote Control before each
replacement and retest the system after each replacement):
3. For each membrane key (see Figure 4-22a for CT systems and Figure
4-22b for CTA systems) place the digital voltmeter test leads across the
related pins (see Table 4-3) on the ribbon connector and measure the
resistance. Observe the resistance while pressing and releasing the key
several times. The digital voltmeter should show a closed circuit
(approximately 0 ohms) while the key is depressed and an open circuit
when the key is released.

Power down the Injector then power it back up. Observe the EL Display and
listen for the audible tone.
> If no tone sounds, and the EL illuminates (all orange) but does
not display graphics, replace components in the following order
(power down the Injector and the Remote Control before each
replacement and retest the system after each replacement):
> If a tone sounds and goes off, and the EL Display fails to
illuminate or display graphics, replace components in the
following order (power down the Injector and the Remote
Control before each replacement and retest the system after
each replacement):
Use this procedure if all of the LEDs fail to flash when the Injector RAM is
moving or fail to remain illuminated when the system is in the Pause or Arm
mode.
Replace components in the following order (power down the Injector before
each replacement and retest the system after each replacement):
If field testing:
(1) Beacon PCB (see Section 5.4.8 – Replacing the Beacon PCB).
(2) Controller PCB (see Section 5.4.4 – Replacing the Controller PCB).
If factory testing:
(1) Beacon PCB (see Section 5.4.8 – Replacing the Beacon PCB).
(2) Controller PCB (see Section 5.4.4 – Replacing the Controller PCB).
(3) Single Board Computer (see Section 5.4.3 – Replacing the Single Board
Computer).
If some, but not all, of the LEDs flash when the Injector RAM is moving or
remain illuminated while the system is in the Pause or Arm mode, replace the
Beacon PCB (see Section 5.4.8 – Replacing the Beacon PCB).
Use this procedure if LEDs flash when they should remain illuminated (Pause
or Arm mode), or they remain illuminated when they should flash (Injector
RAM is moving).
Replace components in the following order (power down the Injector and the
Remote Control before each replacement and retest the system after each
replacement):
If field testing, replace Controller PCB (see Section 5.4.4 – Replacing the
Controller PCB).
If factory testing:
(1) Single Board Computer (see Section 5.4.3 – Replacing the Single Board
Computer).
(2) Controller PCB (see Section 5.4.4 – Replacing the Controller PCB).
The Injector Head has a large orange LED and a large yellow LED on back of
its front enclosure. Only one LED can be illuminated at a time. Under normal
operation, the orange LED, located behind the Contrast Injector will illuminate
when the Contrast Injector is selected. Similarly, the yellow LED, located
behind the Saline Injector will illuminate when the Saline Injector is selected.
4. If only one of the LEDs fails to illuminate when its Injector is selected, but
the other LED functions properly, go to Section 4.7.8.1 – Only One LED
Fails to Illuminate.
5. If both LEDs fail to illuminate when selecting the Contrast Injector and
also when selecting the Saline Injector, go to Section 4.7.8.2 – Both LEDs
Fail to Illuminate.
Use this procedure when only one of the LEDs fails to illuminate when its
Injector is selected. The other LED functions properly.
Note: This will associate the LEDs with the opposite Injectors. Remember to
replace the original connections following testing.
4. Replace the Injector Head’s Rear Enclosure and power up the Injector.
5. On the Injector Controller, select the Contrast Injector and then the Saline
Injector. Observe the LED that originally failed to illuminate.
Use the following procedure only if both LEDs fail to illuminate when selecting
the Contrast Injector and also when selecting the Saline Injector.
4. Use the digital voltmeter to test the path for pin #22 (red on yellow) for
open and test for shorts with other pins.
> If the path has an open or a short, replace the 24-pin cable
(see Section 5.3.3 – Replacing the 24-Pin Cable).
> If all paths are good, replace components in the following order
