3
Safety
Read the accompanying End User License Agreement (“EULA”) for operating
system carefully before using the system. If you do not agree to this EULA, do
not use the system. Any use of this system will constitute your reading and
agreement to this EULA.
1.4 Radiation Protection

Because exposure to X-ray radiation may be damaging to health, use great care to provide
protection against exposure to the primary beam. Some of the effects of X-ray radiation are
cumulative and may extend over a period of months or years. The best safety rule for X-ray
operator is “Avoid exposure to the primary beam at all times”.
Any object in the path of the primary beam produces secondary (scattered) radiation. The
intensity of the secondary radiation is dependent upon the energy and intensity of the primary
beam and the atomic number for the object material struck by the primary beam. Secondary
radiation may be of greater intensity than that of the radiation reaching the film. Take protective
measures to safeguard against it.
An effective protective measure is the use of lead shielding. To minimize dangerous exposure,
use such items as lead screens, lead impregnated gloves, aprons, thyroid collars, etc. The lead
screen should contain a minimum of 2.0 mm of lead or equivalent and personal protective
devices (aprons, gloves, etc.) must contain a minimum of 0.25 mm of lead or equivalent. For
confirmation of the local requirements at your site, refer to your “Local Radiation Protection
Rules” as provided by your Radiation Protection Advisor.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this system should be familiar with
the Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in
Annals Number 60 of the ICRP, and should have been trained in use of the system.
Choose appropriate technical parameters for each program to reduce the exposure dose of
X-ray to the lowest level, yet reach the best effect of image for diagnose at the same time. This
system meets the requirements of IEC 60601-1-3 (for medical electrical equipment).
THE OPERATOR SHOULD MAKE THE DISTANCE FROM THE FOCAL SPOT TO
THE SKIN AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ABSORBED
DOSE TO THE PATIENT AS LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE.
1.5 Monitoring of Personnel

Monitoring of personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they have been exposed
provides a valuable cross check to determine whether safety measures are adequate or not. It
may reveal inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and potentially serious
4
Safety
radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether or not the existing protective measures are
adequate is the use of instruments to measure the exposure. These measurements should be
taken at all locations where the operator or any portion of the body may be exposed. Exposure
must never exceed the accepted tolerable dose.
A frequently used, but less accurate, method of determining the amount of exposure is the
placement of film at strategic locations. After a specified period of time, develop the film to
determine the amount of radiation.
A common method of determining whether personnel have been exposed to excessive radiation
is the use of personal radiation dosimeters. These consist of X-ray sensitive film or
thermoluminescent material enclosed within a holder that may be worn on the body. Even
though this device only measures the radiation which reaches the area of the body on which they
are worn, they do provide a reasonable indication of the amount of radiation received.
1.6 Identification and Compliance Labels

Product identification labels can be found on the tops and sides of the X-ray tube assembly, wall
stand (optional) and integrated floating patient table (optional), the rear of the workstation
monitor, and other exterior surfaces on the system.
The following is a typical identification label.
1.7 Electromagnetic Immunity

Portable or mobile radio frequency communication devices (such as mobile phone) may yield
electromagnetic radiation to interfere the system. Should it approach the system, the
electromagnetic radiation might affect the normal function of the system.
Since these communication devices may yield interferences even under standby status, make
sure these devices have been powered off before approaching the system to avoid any accident
that may happen to harm the patient.
5
Safety
1.8 Contraindication
Pregnant women and infants should avoid the examination by this system as much as possible.
If there is any justified reason for them to conduct the examination, take protective actions as
much as possible.

System Components
2.1.1 Exposure Handswitch

The Prep/Expose button on this handswitch has three positions: OFF, PREPARE, and EXPOSE.
Position Description
OFF
The OFF position is when no pressure is applied to the Prep/ Expose

button on the head of the handswitch.
PREPARE
PREPARE is the middle position on the handswitch. When it is

partially pressed, it brings the rotor up to speed and heats the
filament. PREPARE also checks the system interlocks and verifies
the system is ready to make an exposure.
If the button is released, it returns to OFF position.
EXPOSE
The EXPOSE position is when the button on the Handswitch is fully

4.2.3 Setting Exposure Preferences

The system supports both digital radiography and traditional (film) radiography.
There are three exposure modes for digital radiography: AEC (automatic exposure control) mode,
TIME (manual exposure) mode, and mAs (semi-auto) mode.
Since traditional radiography needs no fixed installations of flat-panel detector or CCD, but uses
traditional cassette to receive exposure, only Time mode and mAs mode are available in the
traditional radiography mode.
The system is set to digital radiography mode by default. If you click the
button on the Patient Registration & Management Screen, the
mode is switched to traditional radiography. Patient information and exam

bodypart name will not be displayed on the screen. AEC mode, image
acquisition, image viewing and printing are unavailable in this mode.
There are default exposure parameters for each exam bodypart. Make manual adjustments if
necessary.
Note: If the image acquisition workstation is equipped with a Dose Area Product (DAP, optional).
2
The DAP information is displayed on the DICOM header tag (0018, 115e) (unit: dGy-cm ).
• If the system is not equipped with an ion chamber or AEC exposure is not
selected, modify the exposure preferences according to the body type of the
patient.
• Do not start exposure before setting proper exposure preferences for the
patient.
After changing the exposure preferences, you (with the administrator’s authority) may save the
customized settings by pressing . However, general users have no access to
change the preferences.
If the preferences are changed by the administrator, the saved preferences will
be the default exposure preferences automatically next time and may be
unrecoverable.
65
Patient Exam
In the exposure preferences area (Zone C in red frame), you may:

• Manually adjust the exposure parameters
• Select AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) mode, including selecting ion chamber and
adjusting the pre-selected density
• Select patient size
• Select focal spot
4.2.3.1 AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) Mode
The Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) automatically controls the exposure time by monitoring
the X-ray radiation dose, and terminates an X-ray exposure to produce optimum quality images.
AEC automatically compensates for changes in patient thickness, opacity, and different
technique factors of mA, kVp, and SID.
Proper patient positioning is very important. In extreme cases of misalignment, some radiation
bypasses the patient and ends the exposure prematurely, causing underexposed images.
Conversely, positioning the heaviest patient area over the detector sensing area may cause
overexposed image areas.
In AEC mode, the exam bodypart and collimator field must cover the selected ion chambers in
order to achieve the appropriate exposure. If the collimator field cannot cover the selected ion
chamber, it is recommended to select TIME (manual) exposure mode.
Whether to select AEC mode and which ion chamber to select depends on the specific exam
bodypart. In general, there is a default setting for each exam bodypart and view. The settings
need not to be changed except in special cases.
The performance of AEC is related to the setting of the generator. If AEC

malfunctions frequently during usage, contact the maintenance personnel to
modify the related setting of the generator.
Click to enter AEC mode, and the clicked button is shown as .
In AEC mode, the following exposure preferences are adjustable: kV, mA, patient size, focal spot,
ion chamber, and image density.
Adjust the kV and mA
66
Patient Exam
The higher the kV and mA values are, the greater the radiation dosage received
by the patient will be.
Click or on the right of the field to increase or decrease the kV value by one unit (1
kVp). The kV cannot be adjusted once it reaches the max or min value. It is the same with the
mA.
Note: For kV adjustment, keep pressing or to adjust the kV by 5 units (5 kVp).
In AEC mode, the mAs and ms are not adjustable, and the buttons are in gray, such as .
Select the focal spot
Click the corresponding icon (left side: small focal spot, right side: large focal spot) to select the
desired focal spot. The selected icon will be shown in deep blue, such as .
Focal spot switches would change the mA settings.
Select the patient size
Selecting correct patient size is quite important. Incorrect selection may lead to
excessive radiation dosage or repeated exposures.
67
Patient Exam
Click the corresponding icon to select the desired patient size. Available options are: Pediatric,
Thin Adult, Medium Adult, and Fat Adult. The system default is Medium Adult. The selected icon
will be shown in deep blue, such as .
Select the ion chamber

Click the ion chamber icon (L: left/ C: center/ R: right) and the selected ion chamber will be
shown in deep blue, such as .

When in AEC mode, at least one ion chamber must be selected. Any combination of chambers is
allowed.
The bodypart to be examed should cover the selected ion chamber to achieve
effective exposure. Otherwise, it might prolong or shorten the exposure time.
Note: If no ion chamber is selected, the system will alarm and disable the exposure.
Adjust AEC density
The higher the AEC density is, the greater the radiation dosage received by the
patient will be.
The range of AEC density is related to the generator. Click or to decrease or
increase the density.
Density Setting:
Density Setting Percentage of mAs

Patient Exam
0 100%
-1 80%
-2 64%
-3 51%
-4 41%
Note: The default density (0) is set according to normal contrast and density demand. The
density should be enhanced for big and fat patients, whereas the density should be reduced for
small and thin patients. If the image shows obvious mottle noise, you may adjust the density to
suppress the noise. If the image is too dark or bright, you need to adjust the image processing
parameters instead of the AEC density.
Adjust film sensitivity
The smaller the film sensitivity is, the greater the radiation dosage received by
the patient will be.
The range of film sensitivity is 100 to 1200. The setting of film sensitivity is related to the selected
film. Click or to decrease or increase the sensitivity.

There are three modes for image post-processing: Enhance 1, Enhance 2, and Enhance 3 (The
higher the level, the weaker the image contrast will be).
Click on the Image View Screen and select the enhance mode from the down-pull
box . The following is an example of enhanced image.
Click on the Image View Screen and a parameter regulating panel appears (as
shown below), which can make further adjustment on image post-processing parameters.
92
Patient Exam
After the adjustment, click on the top right side of the panel, and the regulated
effect is shown on the left image area. Click to save the adjusted settings, which
would be the default settings thereafter. This function is only open to the administrator.
Click to load the default settings and re-process the image.
Click and the parameters regulating panel disappears. The image would keep
the effect of adjusted settings.
The default settings of different views can be selected from the list to reprocess
the image.
The parameters regulating panel is different in the Enhance mode and the ESA mode. See the
following for detailed introduction.
4.3.4.1 ESA Processing

In the ESA mode, the particulars of the image are not processed via enhancement. The image
quality is improved by regulating optimization curve and dynamic compression. Different view
has different default settings.
93
Patient Exam
Simple mode:
It is a simplified enhance mode and contains four parameters: brightness, contrast, sharpness,
and de-noise. Normally, the values are “0.00” by default.
• Brightness: The adjustment range is -10 to 10. The smaller the value is, the darker the image
will be. The bigger the value is, the brighter the image will be.
• Contrast: the contrast range is -10 to 10. The smaller the value is, the weaker the image
contrast will be. The bigger the value is, the greater the image contrast will be.
• Sharpness: The adjustment range is -10 to 10. The smaller the value is, the weaker the
sharpness will be and there will be fewer details. The bigger the value is, the greater the image
sharpness will be and there will be more details.
• Noise reduction: The adjustment range is -10 to 10. The smaller the value is, the greater the
image noise will be; and vice versa.
Professional mode:
The professional mode is a more detailed adjustment mode. Click on the

screen as below.
94
Patient Exam
Then, the following panel will be displayed.
95
Patient Exam
Regulation of the optimization curve

The whole image effect can be changed by regulating the optimization curve, to reach special
quality requirements. The optimization curve is subject to the change of control point’s position,
curve slope through the control point, and the optimization parameters at the curve tail, as shown
in the figure below.
Tail end parameter 2
Output pixel
Tail end parameter 1
Control point
Input pixel
96
Patient Exam
Parameters adjustment:
• Abscissa of the control point (brightness): change the image brightness by adjusting the
brightness value. Increase the brightness value and the whole image (including bone tissue
and parenchyma) would be brightened; decrease the brightness value and the whole image
would be darkened.
• Ordinate of the control point (Y): change the image display effect of the parenchyma by
adjusting the Y value. Decrease the Y value and the image parenchyma would be brightened;
increase the Y value and the image parenchyma would be darkened.
Decrease the
Y value, and Increase the
the image Y value and
parenchyma the image
would be parenchyma
whitened would be
darkened.
• Slope of the control point (contrast grade): change the contrast grade of the whole image by
adjusting the contrast grade
97
Patient Exam
Increased
contrast grade
• Curve tail optimization parameter (tail): change the display effect of the parenchyma whose
grey value approximates the background and the adjustability of the parenchyma whose grey
value approximates the background by changing the shape of the curve tail. Compared with
the curve “tail parameter 1” and curve “tail parameter 2”, it can display more parenchyma
whose grey value approximates the background.
Dynamic compression
Compress the dynamic range of the image, so that the information displayed simultaneously
would be more abundant.
Parameters adjustment:
• Dynamic compression: Reducing dynamic compression can greatly reduce the whole image
brightness variation range, and shrink the apparent discrepancy between the black and white.
• Parameter Beta: mainly changing the displayable area of the high-density structures, thus
improving the displayed details of these areas.
• Compensation factor: used to control the correction degree of the grey value. The figure
below shows the trend of correction value varying with the grey value.
98
Patient Exam
Correction value
Grey value
Compensation factor is the slope of the curve.

Corrected grey value = grey value before correction + correction value
Detail enhancement
Detail enhancement only changes the contrast degree of local details in the image, and does not
affect the display effect of the whole image.
The parameters range from 0.5 to 1.0.
The parameters are described as follows:

• Size 1: Change the detail contrast of the image verge with one original image pixel size (such
as bone trabecula). As the parameter becomes smaller, the enhancing effect turns stronger;
as the parameter becomes larger, the enhancing effect turns weaker. When the parameter is
set “1.0”, the detail is not enhanced. As a great deal of noise exists in the detail image of this
level, the noise is also magnified while the detail is enhanced.
• Size 2: Change the detail contrast of the image verge with 2 original image pixel size. A great
deal of noise also exists in the detail image. The noise size is larger than that of the detail
99
Patient Exam
image in “Size 1” (i.e. the grain turns wider).

• Size 3: Change the detail contrast of the image verge with 4 original image pixel size. The
noise of the detail image in “Size 3” is less than that in “Size 1” and “Size 2”. But the noise size
of the detail image in “Size 3” is larger (i.e. the grain is wider). The noise of the large grain is
also magnified while the detail contrast is enhanced.
• Size 4: Change the detail contrast of the image verge with 8 original image pixel size. The
noise of the image in this level is very small. So, no obvious noise is brought while the detail
image is enhanced.
• Size 5: Change the detail contrast of the image verge with 16 original image pixel sizes. No
noise exists in the detail image of this level.
• Size 6 and Size 7: Change the detail contrast of the image verge with 32 and 64 original
image pixel sizes respectively. Reduce the parameters in “Size 5”, “Size 6” and “Size 7”.
Thereby, the noise is not obvious while the contrast among a big tissue is enhanced.
• Enhancement factor: The adjustment range is 0 to 3.5. It is a whole regulation value of image
enhancement. The smaller the value is, the weaker the sharpness and the softer the image
will be. The bigger the value is, the stronger the sharpness will be and the image details will be
more distinct.
Noise restrain
• Noise restrain level:

0: not to process with noise restrain
1: slight process with noise restrain
2: middle-degree process with noise restrain
3: great process with noise restrain
• Noise threshold: used for classifying noise and detail. When the contrast degree difference
between the pixel in the level of detail and the pixel in surrounding area is less than the
100
Patient Exam
threshold value, the noise restrain impact of the pixel in surrounding area would be great on
the current pixel. Or else, the impact would be small. Thus the detail existing between the two
pixels is reserved.
• Sigma: Control the impact degree of pixels around the current pixel on noise restrain. At the
same distance to the current pixel, when the value is higher, the impact of surrounding pixel
on noise restrain is lower; and vice versa.
• Fine grain: Restrain fine grain noise. If the parameter is set “0”, noise restraining is maximized;
if the parameter is set “1.0”, noise restraining is minimized (actually no noise retraining); as
the parameter changes from 0 to 1 gradually, the noise restraining effect reduces accordingly.
• Middle-sized grain: Restrain middle-sized grain noise. If the parameter is set “0”, noise
restraining is maximized; if the parameter is set “1.0”, noise restraining is minimized (actually
no noise retraining); as the parameter changes from 0 to 1 gradually, the noise restraining
effect reduces accordingly.
• Large-sized grain: Restrain large-sized grain. If the parameter is set “0”, noise restraining is
maximized; if the parameter is set “1.0”, noise restraining is minimized (actually no noise
retraining); as the parameter changes from 0 to 1 gradually, the noise restraining effect
reduces accordingly.

Chapter 12 Detector Calibration
Note: Calibrate and maintain the detector regularly to keep performance of the detector at a high
and stable level.
Tool: No (Calibrate with Mindary algorithm by default)
• BEFORE DETECTOR CALIBRATION, VERIFY THAT THE DETECTOR HAS BEEN

POWERED ON FOR ABOVE FOUR HOURS.
• BEFORE CALIBRATION, VERIFY THAT NOBODY IS INSIDE THE EXAM ROOM.

DURING EXPOSURE, THE DOOR OF THE EXAM ROOM SHALL BE CLOSED.
• CLOSE ANY EXAM THAT IS IN PROGRESS. VERIFY THAT NO EXAM IS BEING

OPENED.
• ONLY THE ADMINISTRATOR AND AUTHORIZED USER HAVE THE AUTHORITY

TO CALIBRATE THE DETECTOR.
• KEEP THE SID AT 1.3M DURING CALIBRATION (THE DETECTOR IS FREE).
• KEEP THE FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) AT 65 CM×65 CM DURING CALIBRATION SO

THAT X-RAY CAN FULLY COVER THE DETECTOR.
• NO OBJECT IS ALLOWED BETWEEN POINT SOURCES DURING CALIBRATION.
• IF THE GENERATOR ERROR “061” APPEARS BEFORE CALIBRATION, RESET IT

FIRST.
Calibration steps:
1. Align the light field center of the tube-collimator assembly to the detector center. Set the SID
to 130 cm. Verify that no grid is inside the detector and no object is between the detector and
the tube assembly.
Note: For the portable detector, calibrate when it is not in the detector box.
a) Put the portable detector on a flat table. Do not cover the portable detector.
b) Move the tube-collimator assembly above the detector. Turn on the collimator and center

Periodic Maintenance
Chapter 13 Periodic Maintenance
In order to ensure continued safe performance of the system, a periodic maintenance program
must be established. It is the user’s responsibility to supply or arrange for this service.
Failure to perform the periodic inspection and maintenance may allow

deteriorating conditions to develop without being detected. This deterioration
can result in equipment failures, and even serious personal injury or equipment
damage.
There are two levels of maintenance, the first consists of tasks which are performed by the
user/operator, and the second are those tasks to be performed by qualified X-ray service
engineer.
13.1 Operator Tasks
DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVER, DISASSEMBLE OR MANIPULATE INTERNAL

COMPONENTS IN THE UNIT. THESE ACTIONS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY AND / OR SYSTEM DAMAGE.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR MAINTAIN ANY PART OF THE UNIT WHEN IT

IS ON. SWITCH IT OFF AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAINS BEFORE
CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
To avoid degrade or damage in safety performance of the equipment, it is suggested to clean the
outer cover of the equipment every quarter.
The tasks of this periodic maintenance shall include the following items:
1） Switch off the equipment and cut off the 3-phase power supply to the equipment.
2） Externally, check the proper cable connections between each major component in the X-ray
system.
3） Clean the equipment and stained components periodically, particularly the components with
direct contacts with patients, such as the detector box, remote controller and the integrated
floating patient table. Clean outer covers and surfaces of the equipment by using a cloth
moistened in warm water with mild soap. Wipe with a cloth moistened in clean water. Do not
use cleaners or solvents of any kind; otherwise, they may darkle the paint or stain the print of
197
Periodic Maintenance
the cover.
Note: Wipe the remote controller with a dry cloth after cleaning.
4） Disinfect the detector box and detector box handle on the mobile stand (optional) periodically.
It is suggested to use common disinfectants, such as acetaldehyde and amphoteric solution.
NO WATER OR OTHER LIQUID SHALL ENTER THE EQUIPMENT. OTHERWISE,

THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS AND CIRCUITS MAY BE CORRODED.
5） Plastic and rubber components can only be cleaned by specialized glass cleaner,
dishwashing detergent, soapy water, or laundry detergent.
SINCE SOME CHEMICALS IN DISINFECTANTS ARE HARMFUL TO HUMANS,

THE CONCENTRATION OF THE CHEMICALS IN THE AIR SHALL NOT EXCEED
THE LIMIT PRESCRIBED BY LAWS AND REGULATIONS. STRICTLY OBSERVE
THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE DISINFECTANT MANUFACTURERS.
13.2 Service Tasks

Only service engineers specifically trained on this medical X-ray system can work on service tasks
or maintenance of the system.
The first periodic maintenance service should be performed between the second and the third
month after installation, and the subsequent services at twelve (12) month intervals. Heavy duty
installations (more than 125 patients per day) require a regular six (6)-month maintenance.
• It is suggested to contact Mindray’s service engineer to recalibrate the X-ray

tube after the tube has been used for one year.
• Regular detector calibration and maintenance ensure stable performance of

the detector. For details of detector calibration, refer to Chapter 12 of this
manual.

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. Electric Shock
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply with
protective earth.
- 10 -
E7240X / E7240FX
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.

E7240X / E7240FX
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.
- 12 -
E7240X / E7240FX
(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.

Caution in Rupture Disc
The Rupture Disc is mounted on anode side housing wall.

When external cover is removed, it is visibly recognized as labeled with label 3 in Caution Labels
page.
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.

E7240X / E7240FX
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.
X-ray tube assembly is not allowed to use 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.

To Keep “ROTANODE” Well for a Long Time
In order to use "ROTANODE" for a long time, the seasoning before every day's start, adjust the tube
current and the cooling after every day's finish are recommendable.
Seasoning
1. When "ROTANODE" is used first after the installation or after the pause more than two weeks,
recommend the seasoning of "ROTANODE". Refer to the seasoning schedule. Execute the
seasoning when "ROTANODE" is unstable.
2. When the seasoning is conducted, followings are recommended:

To put X-ray protector on X-ray detector. To close X-ray shutter to avoid unnecessary X-ray
leakage.
3. If the tube current is unstable on the way to raise a tube voltage, lower the tube voltage until
disappearing the instability, and raise the tube voltage slower than before.
4. The seasoning is carried out by service engineers who has sufficient technical and safe
knowledge.

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. Electric Shock
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply with
protective earth.
-9-
E7876X
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 is
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.

E7876X
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.
- 11 -

(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.
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.

Caution in Rupture Disc

The Rupture Disc is mounted on anode side housing wall.
When external cover is removed, it is visibly recognized as labeled with label 3 in caution Labels
page.
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.

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.
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
Prior to usage, please confirm the environmental condition is within the operating limits.
8. Any Malfunction
Please contact to TETD immediately, if any malfunction of the X-ray tube assembly is noticed.

To Keep “ROTANODE” Well for a Long Time
In order to use "ROTANODE" for a long time, the seasoning before every day's start, adjust the tube
current and the cooling after every day's finish are recommendable.
Seasoning
1. When "ROTANODE" is used first after the installation or after the pause more than two weeks,
recommend the seasoning of "ROTANODE". Refer to the seasoning schedule. Execute the
seasoning when "ROTANODE" is unstable.
2. When the seasoning is conducted, followings are recommended:

To put X-ray protector on X-ray detector. To close X-ray shutter to avoid unnecessary X-ray
leakage.
3. If the tube current is unstable on the way to raise a tube voltage, lower the tube voltage until
disappearing the instability, and raise the tube voltage slower than before.
4. The seasoning is carried out by service engineers who has sufficient technical and safe
knowledge.
