3. Safety Precautions

When operating this equipment, observe the precautions described below to ensure safety of the operator
and service personnel.

WARNING: 1. When you need to urgently stop the system in an emergency,

immediately press the switch to turn OFF the power.

2. Press the fluoroscopic/radiographic X-ray switch only when you want to

generate X-rays. If you press this switch inadvertently while the power
is ON, X-rays will be emitted causing unnecessary exposure of those
present in the X-ray room.

3. To prevent electric shock, be sure to turn OFF the equipment and facility
power supply and wait for at least one minute before touching internal
parts of the system to replace parts, or connect measuring instruments.
Turn OFF the power supply of the facility and also open the front door
when operating the internal circuit breaker.
Be particularly careful with the inverter unit of the control cabinet
because it has charged parts in it. Be sure to check the residual voltage
(relative to ground) of the charged parts with a tester. Also, never
change the measuring points or insert/extract connectors while the
power is ON.

(3) Error 32: Filament heating data lost (TUBE2/small focus)

(4) Error 33: Filament heating data lost (TUBE2/large focus)

When the power was ON, the loss of the filament heating data stored in each X-ray tube and
focus was detected. These errors indicate that the adjusted data was lost. A lack of correct
signals transmitted to the power section may also cause the errors in the power section
system at the same time. In this case, the filament heating data must be initialized and the
tube current re-adjusted. If the error remains even after re-adjustment, replace PWB1 due to
its hardware failure.

2.2 Hardware Sequence System

(1) Error 42: ISP failures are detected during the radiography preparation sequence.

The READY signal from the ISP was detected although no Ready signal was input from the
X-ray exposure handswitch or X-ray exposure switch. Check the ISP. If the error remains,
replace PWB1.

(2) Error 43: X-ray tube switching error

Thermal switch operation of TUBE1 and TUBE2 was simultaneously detected. Check the
thermal switch circuit on the PWB3 PWB. If the error remains, replace the PWB3 PWB.

(3) Error 44: R/F switch error when the power is ON

fluoroscopic F-ON signal was detected. Check for failures in the radiographic switch or the
fluoroscopic switch (including the fluoroscopic foot switch), and in the signals from the X-ray
table.

(4) Error 45: Self-check error of the A/D, D/A circuit when the power is turned ON

During the self-check of the A/D, D/A circuit when the power was turned ON, failures in the
A/D, D/A circuit were detected. Check the A/D, D/A circuit. If the error remains, replace
PWB1.

(5) Error 46: Self-check error of the 600 mAs Back up circuit when the power is ON

During the self-check of the radiographic 600 mAs Back up circuit when the power was ON,
failures in the radiographic 600 mAs Back up circuit were detected. Check the radiographic
600 mAs Back up circuit. If the error remains, replace PWB1.

(6) Error 47: Self-check error of the fluoroscopic 10 mA Back up circuit when the power is ON

During the self-check of the fluoroscopic 10 mA Back up circuit when the power was turned
ON, failure in the fluoroscopic 10 mA Back up circuit was detected. Check the fluoroscopic
10 mA Back up circuit. If the error remains, replace PWB1.

4. PROBLEMS RELATING TO AEC

4.1 AEC Circuit Error

(1) The cable between PWB1 and PWB2 is not connected, or the contacts are poor.

(2) A detector high-voltage output error of the PWB2 has occurred.

4.2 AEC Operation Is Unstable.

This may be caused by AC noise contamination in the detected signals, or a defective detector or
AEC circuit. Perform an operation check of the integrated waveform output pin (pin 1 of IC10A) of
the PWB1.

(1) AC noise contamination

When the detected signals are contaminated by AC noise, the integrated waveform will
change from a straight line to a wavy line, and the reproducibility of the X-ray exposure time
will be lowered. As a countermeasure, disconnect the power cable from the detector signal
cable. Also, check the electrical insulation of the detector.

5. PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE POWER SECTION

5.1 Control by PWB1

The tube voltage signal and the tube current signal (analog signal) related to X-ray generation are
transmitted from PWB1 to the inverter unit of the POWER section.

Table 5-1 shows the signal descriptions and the pin arrangement between PWB1 and the inverter
unit.

The control signal of the tube voltage and the tube current from PWB1, and the control signal of
the tube voltage and the tube current from the inverter unit of the POWER section can be checked
on PWB1.

If the tube voltage and the tube current are not output as preset, check the respective test pins
below.

<Preset signals from PWB1>

TP15: Preset tube voltage signal (KV-SET), setting 150 kV = 10 VDC

TP17: Large focus preset filament heating current signal (LARGE), setting 1 A = 1 VDC

TP18: Small focus preset filament heating current signal (SMALL), setting 1 A = 1 VDC

<Signals from the inverter unit>

TP26: Detected tube voltage signal (ACT-KV), detection 150 kV = 7.5 VDC

TP19: Radiographic detected tube current signal (R-MA), detection 100 mA = 2 VDC

TP4: Fluoroscopic detected tube current signal (F-MA), detection 1 mA = 1 VDC

22
 No. 2D314-013E

(1) Waveforms of the preset tube voltage signals (TP15)

The preset tube voltage signals (analog signals) are set when the radiographic READY signal
is ON or the fluoroscopic F signal is ON. When the preset tube voltage on the X-ray control
panel is 150 kV, the output signal at TP15 is +10 VDC.

If the voltage at TP15 does not correspond to the preset value, the D/A converter on PWB1
may be defective.

(2) Waveforms of the preset filament heating current signals (TP17, TP18)

The preset filament heating current signals (analog signals) are set at the timings shown
below. When the preset filament heating current is 5 A, the output signal at TP17 or TP18 is
+5 VDC. The preset filament heating circuit value corresponds to the one which is displayed
by the rotary switch of PWB1 and the 7-segment LED. (Refer to the Installation and
