Notes 1.1
Safety Information 0
General Safety Information

When carrying out the work steps and checks, the product-specific safety information con-
tained in the documents must be observed.
CAUTION Dangerous radiation!

¹ Checks or adjustments that must be performed with radi-
ation switched on are labeled with the radiation warning
symbol x . While performing adjustments labeled this
way, radiation protective clothing must be worn.
WARNING Dangerous voltage!

¹ As a rule, measurements made using the oscilloscope
may be performed only with the ground wire connected.
Disconnecting the ground wire without an isolation
transformer is not permitted under any circumstances.
The ground wire may be made ineffective by means of an
isolation transformer only if no voltages greater than
25 V AC or 60 V DC can occur on metal parts that can be
touched. For measurements in which any ground loops
can have a disturbing effect on the measurement result,
an isolation amplifier (e.g. GOULD Contec 9000 or TEK-
TRONICS A6902B) must be used, see the Service Tools
Catalogue.
• To switch off power to all parts of the system (generator and system cabinet). set the
system switch in the OFF position.
• Install or remove components only with the generator switched off; when doing this,
observe ESD guidelines.
• ESD guidelines must be observed during startup.
Product-specific Safety Information

• Prior to performing any activity in the generator, switch it off at the S2 power OFF switch
on the D160 board.

WARNING With the generator switched off, there is still line power present at
the T1 transformer D160 switch-on circuit (see Wiring Diagram
X2206-10). After switching off the generator, there is still approx.
600 V DC voltage present for the inverter!
This is indicated by LEDs V35 and V36 on the D110 board (see also
X2206-16).
¹ The voltage dissipates within approx. 2 minutes to 0 V,
the LEDs go off at approx. 30 V. The warning note (label)
in the generator cabinet must be observed.
WARNING Frequency Converter

After disconnecting the drive current converter in front of the
power supply, the frequency converter voltage-conducting unit
parts and power connections may not be touched immediately
because of capacitors that may possible still contain a charge.
Because of the intermediate circuit capacitors, there is still dan-
gerous voltage present at the frequency converter for up to
30 seconds after switching off power.
¹ Working on the motors or on the intermediate circuit ter-
minals of the frequency converter is permitted no sooner
than after this waiting period.
• Switching Off High Voltage/Radiation

- To prevent unintentional triggering of high voltage or radiation, set the SS switch (S1)
on the D100 to OFF (no control of the inverter).
• Preventing Unit Movements
- Press the unit emergency stop switch when performing all service and maintenance
work on the unit. The emergency stop switch is located on the front of the unit and on
the remote control console.
Product-specific Information 0
Illustrations
Depending the version, the illustrations and drawings can appear slightly different from
what has been shipped.
Remarks regarding Startup

The system was prestaged, programmed and tested as a system at the factory. The Test
Certificates are filed in the binder "Techn. Documents / System Reg. 9".
• During startup, it must be assured by means of checks or measurements that the test
area settings have not changed.

• All texts labeled with p must be entered in the Test Certificate that is listed in each
instance:
- Quality Certificate
- Test Certificate for Image Quality without DFR.
The tables in the corresponding certificates are marked with the note "Checked during
startup".
Manual Fluoroscopy
Setting appropriate X-ray tube load factors (kV or mA) to check the radiation safety mea-
surement values.
Necessary only if a radiation safety measurement must be performed.
• Start the POLYDOROS SSW:
- < Diagnostics >
- < Manual Fluoroscopy >
In this menu, the kV and mA can be set manually and fluoroscopy can be switched on.
Determining Veiling Luminance

To avoid any problems during the Acceptance Test for monitors per DIN 6868 - 57, the
lighting conditions in the control and examination rooms must be tested as soon as possi-
ble.
For this, the veiling luminosity of the image playback devices on which diagnosis is made
must be measured using a luminous density meter (e.g. Mavo monitor) in the position in
which the devices are normally operated.
• The room lighting is adjusted to the operating conditions (it may be necessary to ask the
user) that are planned for later using a dimmer with a scale.
• The diagnostic monitor must remain switched off.
• Measure the veil luminosity of the diagnostic monitor with the luminous density meter at
a distance in front of the screen that is specified by the manufacturer.
• If the veiling luminance is less than 2 cd/m2, the minimum requirements of the Accep-
tance Test for Image Playback Devices can be considered as met.
• If, however, the veiling luminance exceeds the above value, the operator and/or site
manager must be informed to that effect immediately to ensure that remedial action
(additional defined reduction of the illumination, darkening of windows etc.) can be
taken in time. For more information, please refer to the Project Manager Handbook or
PG Planning Guide.
These measurements are necessary so that the minimum requirements for the Accep-
tance and Constancy Test for Image Playback Devices per DIN 68 68 - 57 can be
ensured.

Country-specific Acceptance Certificates

The following tests applicable to the prescribed acceptance test in Germany in accor-
dance with §16 of the X-ray ordinance or the acceptance test in the USA, were performed
during factory testing and were documented in the test protocols:
• Visual test of filter values
• Coincidence of Radiation Field and Center of Film
• Accuracy of Automatic Formatting for Cassette Formats
• Fluoroscopic field limit
• Centering of radiation field and center of spotfilm device
• Fluoroscopy dose rate
• Function check of the IONTOMAT measuring fields
• Maximum skin dose rate
• Resolution and minimum contrast
• Check of kV Accuracy
• Accuracy of the X-ray tube voltage
• Accuracy of the voltage display for fluoroscopy
• Shortest cutoff time for automatic exposure
• Reproducibility of radiation
NOTE These measurement values and the other values determined dur-
ing startup can be transcribed from the Test Certificate to the
Abnahmeprüfprotokoll or to the Acceptance Test Certificate.
The tests required by DHHS Regulations must be performed:

1. Required documents for the customer
2. Radiation Safety
3. Check of DHHS and identification labels

Film-Screen Combinations Used 6.1
Three different exposure steps (BSt) corresponding to three different film-screen combi-
nations (H, U, D) can be programmed at the generator.
For each exposure step, the screen and the film provided for it must be documented with
the following data from the manufacturer in the "Quality Certificate":
- Color sensitivity of the films and screens
- Sensitivity, S
- Theoretical dose requirement, KS
- Minimum resolution, RGr
Make sure that only films for the light color for which the screen is sensitivity has been
determined are used (green sensitive film for green sensitive screen, blue sensitive film for
the blue screen).
There are no international, uniform regulations regarding use of the film-screen combina-
tions; national regulations (e.g §16 RöV) must be observed in the particular country.

the width and length directions, read the cm division of the four X1, X2, Y1, Y2 coordi-
nates displayed on the monitor and record the values. Perform this for all I.I. formats
and all SIDs.
• In pace of the centering cross, place a cassette with film (at least 35 x 35 cm or 14 x 14")
turned 45° on the tabletop and center it to the light field. Trigger fluoroscopy with the col-
limator open all the way for all I.I. formats until sufficient film density is achieved. Make a
test film for each SID, whereby all 4 I.I. formats are visible. Evaluation is possible
because of the different film blackening of the individual formats. Make a test film for
each SID.
