3.1 MRC high-voltage (HV) cable test

3.1.1 Introduction
Both HV cables have O3 HV plugs at the side of the X-ray tube assembly.
Hazard of electrical shock because of exposed voltage.

High-voltage plugs are like capacitors.
• Discharge the contact pins of the high-voltage plug.
• Use a multimeter to make sure that the contact pins are free of voltage.
If you do not obey this instruction, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
3.1.2 Symptoms
Arcing error
3.1.3 Causes
The contact pins (1) of the HV plug are slotted.
The distance between the two half pins is defined.
If the slit width is reduced, a proper contact between

the contact pin and the contact socket (2) is no longer
guaranteed. A possible spark-over burns and damages the
contact surfaces.
During the installation of the HV plug the contact pins are

exposed to mechanical stress. Avoid deformation of the contact
pins:
A = Proper contact
B = Poor contact

3.1.4 Tool
TC 200 Pin gage 9890-000-0284x
3.1.5 Procedure
• Do the check of the contact pins (1):
A = Proper contact
B = Poor contact
The accessory of the X-ray tube assembly or the HV cable

contains a tube of silicone paste and two silicone disks.
Do not use any lubricant other than the silicone paste that is part
of the accessory.
• If a contact pin is deformed, readjust the slit.

Use the pin gage, tool code: TC 200

• Clean the HV plug thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol.
The alcohol content is at least 90 %.
Use a clean lint-free cloth or a clean high-grade paper
towel.
Do not use solvents, lubricants, or oil to clean the HV
plug.
• Apply a pea-sized amount of the silicone paste on the
front face of the HV plug.
Do not apply the silicone paste on the contact pins.
Do not apply the silicone paste on the cylindrical
surface of the HV plug.
• Put the silicone disk over the contact pins on the front
face of the HV plug.
Do not clean the bead of the silicone paste.

front face of the silicone disk.
• Align the feather key of the HV plug with the keyway of

the HV socket.
• Put the HV plug in the HV socket of the X-ray tube
housing.

Risk of a damage of the X-ray tube assembly due to burned and damaged contact
surfaces.
• Always you reconnect a HV plug to a HV socket use new silicone disks and do the
cleaning and the greasing procedure again.
• Always you replace an X-ray tube assembly use new silicone disks and do the
cleaning and the greasing procedure of the HV plug again.
If you do not obey this instruction, there is a risk of property damage.
• Install the high voltage cables with splitting rings and

claws. 4 3

3.2 MRC stator test

3.2.1 Symptoms
Possible X-ray generator error codes: 10FB, 10FT, 10LH, 10LL, 10RC, 10RF, 10RI, 10RT
3.2.2 Causes
It can be a malfunction in the X-ray tube assembly or within the X-ray generator to determine which unit is
failing, this test is necessary.
Possible causes of the X-ray tube are: short circuit of stator coil, open stator coil, melted stator windings.
A non-rotating anode will be not detected with this test!

3.2.3 Tool
3.2.4 Procedure
• Set the system to OFF.
• Remove the plug XA 110 of the stator cable from
the X-ray tube assembly.
L-C-R meter setting:

• Select mode R: Measurement range = 200 Ω
• Select mode L: Measurement range = 20 H
• Measure the inductivity and the resistance

between the stator contact sockets XA 110-1
(U), XA 110-2 (V) and XA 110-3 (W).
The nominal values are:

U - V: 225 mH ±10% 49 Ω ±10%
V - W: 225 mH ±10% 49 Ω ±10% XA 110
U - W: 225 mH ±10% 49 Ω ±10%
If the measured values are out of the nominal value range, replace the X-ray tube assembly!

3.3 MRC filament test
3.3.1 Symptoms
X-ray generator error code: 03HJ, If=filament current actual out of tolerance
X-ray generator Error code: permanent 00X6, 03PE “Grid not closed”
3.3.2 Causes
1) A malfunction in the filament circuit
2) An open filament of the X-ray tube
A 1:1 transformer operates both filaments of the X-ray tubes. The transformer is part of the supply of the grid
switch control that is within the X-ray tube housing. The transformer isolates the cathode frame that is used as
the grid from the filaments.
To measure whether the filaments are open or not, there are two ways:
1) L-C-R meter test, see chapter 3.3.3
2) Battery circuit test, see chapter 3.3.4
Overview: Contact pins of the O3 HV plug
Pin 3: Large filament
Orientation:
Guide pin of the high- voltage plug
Pin 2: Small filament Pin 1: Common

3.3.3 L-C-R meter test
3.3.3.1 Tool
3.3.3.2 Procedure
• Remove the HV plug from the cathode at the generator.
• Select
o mode L
o 20-mH measurement range
at the L-C-R meter.
Small focus (SF)

• Measure between pin 1 and pin 2 of the HV plug.
The filament is OK: You measure about 0.05 mH.
The filament is open: You measure about 7.5 mH.
Large focus (LF)

• Measure between pin 1 and pin 3 of the HV plug.

3.3.4 Battery circuit test
3.3.4.1 Tools
TC 095 Oscilloscope
Battery 1.5 V
e.g. A, AA or AAA
Resistor 10 Ω
3.3.4.2 Procedure
• Remove the HV plug from the cathode at the generator.
• Connect the tools to the removed HV plug.
• Do the filament test for the small focus.

The measuring circuit is between contact pin 2 and the common contact pin 1.
• Do the filament test for the large focus.
• Compare your results with the result samples that follow.

Result samples
The filament is OK.
The filament is open.

3.4 MRC dose test
3.4.1 Symptoms
- Possible X-ray generator error codes: 03PA, 03PB, 03PC, 00PP, 00PQ,
- Image Quality measurement tests with too low output
- Longer exposure times resulting in blurry images
3.4.2 Causes
In some cases it can be a malfunction of the X-ray tube assembly, but in most cases an X-ray tube assembly
re-adaption, a correction of tube yield or an EDL calibration corrects the malfunction.
3.4.3 Tool
3.4.4 Procedure
• Set a distance between the X-ray tube assembly and the dosemeter of 100 cm.
• Use an aluminum filter, 25 mm thick.
• Select a tube voltage of 77 kV.
• Read the dose on the dosemeter.
The dose nominal value is at least 2 µGy/mAs!

Example
1. You selected a tube voltage of 77 kV.
2. You get an exposure time of 100 ms and a tube current of 100 mA.
Multiply the exposure time with the tube current: 100 ms x 100 mA = 10 mAs (mAs-product)
3. You get a dose of 30 µGy for example.
Divide the dose by the calculated mAs-product: 30 µGy/10 mAs = 3 µGy/mAs
The calculated dose of 3 µGy/mAs in this example says, the X-ray tube is OK.

3.5 MRC error log 00X6 (grid switch failure)
See fault finding tree in Appendix: "Fault finding tree MRC error log 00X6".
# Test name Description
1 Perform 3 V GS test Follow official test like described in PM of the system or

within the FCO’s
2 Check BNC cable Means that the BNC cable between GSS Box and X-ray
tube is suspicious and need to be checked. Fastest
possibility is to by-pass the original cable with another one.
3 Did you measure more than 2000nGy During the 3V GS test measured >500nGy. If you
experience >2000nGy follow the link.
4 Perform tube conditioning Perform normal tube conditioning like described in the
manuals
5 Arcing’s (02H*) in log file Check the HV connections like described in this document
6 HV plug Check if cracks are visible or black burned marks. Try to
clean them.
7 Are 02W* errors in the log file Start fault finding converter issues
8 Is an oil contamination possible? We experienced some X-ray tube assemblies with a high
amount of water based particles inside the oil. These
contaminations resulted in a destroyed GS unit and
massive arcings. A mix-up with chiller fluid would cause this
for example. If that kind of contamination happens, all three
parts, the CU3101, the oil hoses and the X-ray tube
assemblies needs to be replaced at the same time. Do not
contaminate new products!
9 Measure SF with LCR Use the described procedure in this document to fault find if
Small filament is defective.
10 Check Z-Diode You should measure with an Ohm meter the resistance
between ground (PE green/yellow) and BIAS / CAN cable
(red) on the X-ray tube assembly side. (over the Z-Diode)
You should read nearly 100Ohm. If you open the red wire
on the X-ray generator side you should measure open
connection. If you measure just some ohms, disconnect the
Z-Diode and measure again. It might be the diode itself (bi-
directional breakdown Z-diode) or the short is inside the
tube. In both cases the X-ray tube assembly needs to be
replaced.
11 03Hj and 03PA/B/C These errors indicate that a tube adaptation is necessary.
ATTENTION! In case an adaptation is started, the old
adaptation parameters are gone. In case the tube
adaptation errors happened due to a filament problem, the
new adaptation might not be passed! There is no storage of
the adaptation parameters possible, a work around is
maybe using a new cube inclusive a new kVmA unit. As the
adaptation is stored in both units together. So in such case
it would be the only idea to replace both kVmA and cube to
perform a new tube adaptation, if that fails, you easily can
change back to old kVmA and cube.
