1. DESCRIPTION
1.1. Applications
PRACTIX CONVENIO is a mobile motorized x-ray system, independent of the mains, aimed to fulfil
a wide range of clinical applications.
The unit is intended for being used to perform radiological tests and diagnostic researches
dedicated to:
• operating theater
• sport medicine
• plaster room
• first aid
• pediatrics
• orthopaedics
The unit can operate in a data range from hard radiation (for example, chest tests) to soft radiation
(for example, extremities tests, pediatrics) that can be selected through APR programs.
PRACTIX CONVENIO is made up of the following subsystems:

X-ray generator Supplies and controls the x-ray tube and the
collimator
X-ray tube + collimator group Produces the x-ray emissions and the relative
collimation
Trolley + telescopic column and arm Allows the movement of the x-ray tube group
The x-ray generator is assembled inside the trolley like the electronics for the generator and
movement control.
The x-ray exposure can occur through the x-ray control with cable extendible to two stages
(preparation and x-rays).
The x-ray tube-collimator group is assembled on a telescopic arm linked to the column so that the
weight is completely balanced.
In order to rotate the column it is enough to release the lock with the proper pushbutton on the
frontal controls panel, move vertically the telescopic arm and rotate the column in the intended
position.
The cassette-holder compartment can lodge to eight cassettes (exposed or non-exposed) with
dim.35x43cm (12x15inch) and a grid.
A control keyboard with graphic display is lodged on the control panel and it allows the full control
of all unit parameters. The movement controls are realized according to the “dead man” operating
principle.
Six groups of APR exams with six subgroups each are available, programmed with default data in
factory. These 36 exams are easily reprogrammable by service or directly by the user.

1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the procedures necessary for the covers removal, the replacement of the
electronic boards and other generator parts.
When a connector is detached from its own board, make sure that it is properly identified,
otherwise, put a temporary label with the board and the connector description (for example “B2-
CM15”).
When a mechanical or electrical component has been replaced, perform the working tests of the
unit as described in the chapter “Acceptance & Installation – 2”.
PRACTIX CONVENIO satisfies the electrical safety standards and the EMC standards and, in
normal conditions, there is no risk of malfunction caused by electromagnetic interferences. For this
reason, when a board is replaced or you work inside the unit, at the end of the intervention, it is
necessary to restore all the safety devices that were removed.
Before performing any operation inside the unit without covers, wait for about
5 minutes after that the key is put in OFF position.
Even with unplugged supply plug and open fuses, inside

the unit there is a dangerous voltage and very high
currents can be produced.

1.2. “SERVICE MODE”

SERVICE MODE (SM) is a special menu procedure that can be activated only from the Service Staff
through password.
This procedure is necessary to set the working parameters and to easy the whole diagnostic phase
as well as the faults finding. Almost all these operations can be performed with the closed cover.
This allows an easy operation but, specially, with an optimal safety level.
In order to enter the SERVICE MODE, it is necessary, before entering UTILITY MODE (see Chapt.
8.1 “Service Information” ), to choose the second page, choose one of the three modes reserved
to Service Staff (“SETUP”, “ADJUSTMENTS”, “DIAGNOSTICS”).
Before entering one of the three SERVICE modes, it is necessary to insert the service password
(1247) and confirm with the key MENU. In case the password inserted is not correct, the error
message “WRONG PASSWORD” appears and the system returns to the previous screen.
In order to modify the value of a parameter, it is necessary to choose it with a key aside and
modify it with the keys kV (- & +).

2. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTEMENTS
The most important electrical adjustments are performed through the SERVICE MODE (see the
relative chapter). In this way it is possible to intervene on the operating parameters when the unit is
closed (so by minimizing the risks and the intervention times).
The adjustments that require the cover removal are performed in factory during the unit testing
and, in general, they don’t need any further adjustment.
2.1. X-ray tube calibration
See the chapt. “Service information”, SERVICE MODE, TUBE CALIBRATION option.
2.2. Potentiometers
All the potentiometers are adjusted in factory. Perform the possible adjustments only in case
of absolute need. Wrong adjustments can create dangerous situations.

2.4. Reading of the battery voltage

In order to check the proper adjustment of the battery voltage reading, proceed as described here
below.
In order to get access to the interface board, it is necessary to disassemble some parts of the unit:
Disassembly of the cassette-holder (to ease the access to the parts described below):
Disassembly of the boards protection (to get access to the interface board):
At unit OFF, by connecting at the ends of the resistances R26, R27 there is a
voltage of 144Vdc. Pay attention to place the instrument probes to read the
voltage.
Place the probe (+) of a digital multimeter on the resistance R26 and the probe (-) on the
resistance R27 and note down the read voltage (i.e. Vbatt = 130Vdc).
Place the probe (-) on the Tp5 (0Vdc) and the probe (+) on Tp3.
Check that the voltage read on the multimeter is the previous reading VBatt/20 (i.e. 130/20 =
6,5Vdc). On the contrary, adjust the potentiometer P1.

2.5.1. Check of adjustments

1. Connect a DVM (Digital Volt Meter) between B7-Tp2 (+) and B7-Tp0V15 (-)
2. Adjust the potentiometer B7-P3 to read a voltage of 2Vcc (-0V +0,1V)
3. Connect an oscilloscope between B7-Tp1 (+) and B7-Tp0V15 (-)
4. Adjust the potentiometer B7-P1 to read a frequency of 120 Hz (-2Hz; +5Hz)
5. The potentiometer B7-P2 is not used, so it has not to be adjusted
2.5.2. Working check
1. Connect an oscilloscope in the following way:

a. Channel 1 between B7-Tp23 (+) and B7-Tp0V15 (-). (Measure on the phase IP)
b. Channel 2 between B7-Tp24 (+) and B7-Tp0V15 (-). (Measure on the phase IS)
c. Vertical amplitude for both channels 2V
d. Time base 500ms
e. Trigger on C1; positive front
2. Set in UTILITY MODE à SETUP à ANODE BRAKE, the option “ON”
3. Control a radiography preparation and check that the start time (phases IP and IS both present) is
about 1,2 seconds and the next time of brake (phase IP present; phase IS not present) is 2
seconds. Refer to Fig. 13. Check also the anode rotation direction; by looking it from the filament
side it must turn anticlockwise.
Fig. 13

4. Set in UTILITY MODE à SETUP à ANODE BRAKE, the option “OFF”.

5. Control a radiography preparation and check that only the start phase is ready. The anode
rotation is not braked but stops for internal frictions. Remember to restore in UTILITY MODE the
intended option for ANODE BRAKE.
Note: Concerning the measures at point 6, in case an oscilloscope is used instead of the DVM, use
probes type differential insulated (floating measurements) or make sure that the instrument is
insulated from the mains and it has not any measuring reference connected to the protection
ground.
If these conditions are not observed some risks of fulguration for people and/or damages to the
electronic parts and instruments could be.
6. Check the start voltage value and the relative frequency:

a. Connect a DVM between R234 (IGBT side) and Tp0V15 (GND) (see Fig. 14). Multimeter
set: 100ms; REC; min; Vcc.
b. Control a radiography preparation and note down the voltage value read (Vbat)
c. Connect the DVM between B7-R153 and B7-R175 silk-screen printing side (see Fig. 14).
Multimeter set: range 400Vac; 100ms; REC; max Vac.
d. Control radiography preparation and check that the DVM reading is 1-2 Volt lower than
the (Vbat). (Vstart = Vbat – 2V).
e. Always with connected DVM as in point 7c, select the frequency measure.
f. Control radiography preparation, the measured frequency must be equal to 60Hz (-1Hz;
+2,5Hz).
g. Connect the DVM in parallel to B7-R66 (parallel to phase difference capacitor).
Multimeter Set: range 400Vac; 100ms; REC; max Vac.

3. MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Pay attention, if the operations are not performed properly, serious consequences
to unit or people can occur.
In this condition the unit is potentially very dangerous, so the unit must be in this
condition as little as possible.
Nobody, except the technician that operates on the unit, must approach to the unit.
When the collimator and/or the monobloc are removed, the arm does not result balanced any
more and it can soar violently. Before proceeding with the collimator removal, move the arm in
work position and at the intended height, then bind properly the arm to the basement (Fig. 16).
IMPORTANT: When the collimator/monobloc group is removed, a force of about 60kgf/600N

upwards will be present at the arm end. Use the belt present/available in the tools kit for the unit
lifting (Service Information §2.2).

“Q”.
Note: When the two distances are under 1mm, the
collimator is centered on the monobloc and it does
not need any further adjustment.
It is not necessary that the two distances “P” and
”Q” are equal.
5. Repeat the steps from 2 to 4 till the distance
“P” and the distance “Q” are equal or under
1mm.
6. Lock the four nuts that fix the collimator flange
to the monobloc.
7. Repeat the steps from 2 to 4.
8. Remove the instrument CAT.

4.5. Relays
Unit Relay Function

K1 It powers directly from the batteries through the fuse F1:
-the generator when the monobloc is not in transport position
-the circuit for the internal batteries resistance measurement through CM23
K2 Together with the resistance R2 and the advanced closing in respect to K1,
it is the soft start circuit for the generator. This circuit limits the starting
current through R2 when the generator is powered. (see temporal diagram)
Board Relay Function

B1 K1 This relay removes the power supply to the coil of the power relay K1
Interface Board mounted on the unit frame if:
- the circuit of Battery Test is faulty (test current or test current time out of
the ranges)
- unbalancing of the power supply ±15V on board B7
- GSC MPU not running (boards B7 and B8)
- hardware safety intervention “Max Time x-ray” (x-ray time > 3,5sec)
- hardware safety intervention “Max mAs” (mAs > 450)
K2 Control relay of the monobloc release coil from the transport position.
K3 When the unit is in movement the relay is active and it disables the
preparation control
K4 The relay contact repeats the Right control coming from the “Arrow Pad”
K5 The relay contact repeats the Backwards control coming from the “Arrow
Pad”
K6 The relay contact repeats the Left control coming from “Arrow Pad”
K7 The relay contact repeats the Forwards control coming from “Arrow Pad”
K8 With any control from “Arrow Pad“ the relay energizes for about 3 seconds
and then it de-energizes even if the control goes on to be active
K9 In standard conditions the relay is energized and it allows the unit
movement. It detaches when from a board B2 or B3 (motor driver) a signal
of “Motor Fault” is generated.

B2 K1 Without movement request the relay is de-energized and it connects in
Right Motor Drive parallel to the motor the rheostatic braking resistance.
With the request of movement (handle microswitch consent and
B3
software enabling) the relay is energized. Through the exchange
Left Motor Drive
contact the motor is disconnected from the braking resistance and
connected to the operation.
K2 Without request of movement the relay is de-energized and the
operation jumper branch that allows the reverse is not powered. With
the request of movement (handle microswitch consent and software
enabling) the relay is energized and the semi-jumper powered (144V).
K3 Without request of movement the relay is de-energized and the branch
of the operation jumper that allows the motion forwards is not
powered.
With the request of movement (handle microswitch consent, Bumper
microswitch consent and software enabling) the relay is energized and
the semi jumper is powered (144V).
The parking brakes of the unit are electromagnetic and they are assembled directly on the motors. In
order to free the motor shaft, it is necessary to power the brakes with a voltage of 24Vdc.
This occurs with the request of movement (handle microswitch and software enabling)
enabling). In order to
exclude the software enabling and control the brakes directly with the microswitches of the handle, it is
necessary to close on the Motor Drive the jumper Jp3.
WARNING: In normal use (NOT diagnostic) Jp3 must be left open.


B7 - GSC K1 Not mounted
K2 Not mounted
K3 It is energized by the signal of STR_BRAKE. It interrupts the phase S of the
anode stator during the brake time
K4 It is energized by the signal STR_EN, in the conditions of run time and brake
time of the anode. It is controlled so that the contacts close and open when the
IGBT of the power circuit are not in conduction.
K5, K6 They are de-energized from the intervention of the safety circuit WD (WATCH
DOG). A contact removes the power supply to the HAND SWITCH and the IR
REMOTE CONTROL. The other contacts remove the power supplies +/-15V
K7 It is energized by the signal LINE_ON when the unit is connected to the mains
during the batteries charge. It interrupts the power supplies to the electronic
circuits of control and x-ray control, by keeping active only the MCU and CAN-
BUS.
K8 It is normally energized to supply the filament. It is de-energized and it remains
in this condition when the filament current exceeds the max. allowed value.
K9 It is energized during the x-ray exposure to enable the anodic mA integrator of
the max_mAs control circuit.
K10 It is energized directly by the HAND SWITCH during the radiography
preparation (1° step). It is the hardware safety of the signal XR_ENABLE
managed by the MCU and sent to the generator. Then it interdicts the unit
movement.
K11 It is energized directly by the HAND SWITCH during the radiography (2° step).
It is the hardware safety of the signal XR_ORDER managed by the MCU and
sent to the generator. It is delayed to the fall of about 100ms.
K12 It commutates the selection between HAND SWITCH and IR REMOTE
CONTROL. It is controlled by the MCU through the choices of SET-UP.
K13 It commutates the selection between SMALL FOCUS and LARGE FOCUS. It is
energized when the small focus is selected
K14 Power supply relay of the collimator lamp. It is energized by the signal
LAMP_ON for a time fixed in the choices of unit SET-UP.

B10 K1 The relay must be powered only in Charging Mode. The contacts closing
CANBUS switch performs the connection of the ports CANBUS of BC1… BC4 to the field bus.

PSM18 K1 It is energized by the signal STEP_UP ENABLE coming from the board B7. It
Inverter activates the power supply ±15V of the board PSM18 and the voltage +24V
INVERTER towards the board B7.

Function
BC1 … BC4 K1 With the present mains voltage (Charging mode) the relay must be always
Battery energized to allow the power supply of the board. The green led Ld1 = ON
Charger indicates that the relay is controlled properly.
The relay deactivates if:
- The 24V is missing
- A input board fuse is burnt (F2, F3, F4)
- An “automotive” output fuse is burnt (F5, F6, F7); this condition is signaled
by the red led Ld3 = ON
- The connection between one or more batteries and the board is missing;
this condition is signaled by the red led Ld3 = ON
- a Battery is in Over Temperature (>60°)
- fault of the charge control circuits (set, feedback, etc)
- MCU is not running

8.2.1. Adjustments - Motors Setup

The procedure “Motors Setup” is used particularly when a motor is replaced or to check the
correct reading of the control proximity sensor values of the transport handle.
You enter “Motors setup” from menu
“ADJUSTMENTS” of “SERVICE MENU”.
In the screen “Motors Setup” the following parameters are displayed:

Left motor Right motor
Lh Value: Lproxy position value Rh Value: Rproxy position value
Lh zero pts: Lproxy offset value Rh zero pts: Rproxy offset value
Running Time (hrs): working time of the motor Running Time (hrs): working time of the motor from
from the last zero setting, indicated in hours the last zero setting, indicated in hours.
Bumper: status of the BUMPER control signal at Bumper: status of the BUMPER control signal at
the input of the left operation. the input of the right operation.
Switch: status of the SWITCH control signal at the Switch: status of the SWITCH control signal at the
input of the left operation. input of the right operation.
NOTE: The signals “bumper” and “switch” don’t represent the status of the relative control micro,
but they represent the control signals status to the operations.
With the control “SET 0 LH” the Lproxy “Lh Value” value resets and at the same time “Lh zero pts”
value updates (handle offset zero setting).
With the control “SET 0 RH” Rproxy “Rh Value” value resets and at the same time “Rh zero pts”
value updates (handle offset zero setting).
The signal “Switch”, both “L” and “R”, is read only when the emergency key “STOP” is not active,
that is to say only when the movement is allowed.
The signal “Bumper”, both “L” and “R”, is read only when the relative signal “Switch” is active.
Both signals “Switch” or “Bumper” can take the following values:

X Not read
0 Not active
1 Active
With the controls “SET 0 LTIME” and “SET 0 RTIME” the time of the left or right motor functionality
resets, respectively. Use this function only after the replacement of a motor.

8.2.2. Adjustments - DAP Setup

Setting of the DAP chamber calibration values.
You enter “DAP setup” from the menu

“ADJUSTMENTS” of the “SERVICE MENU”.
Set at “1” the DAP status value (dosimeter
present).
Confirm with the key MENU.
With the keys kV(-&+) set TW to TW value

indicated on the yellow label applied to the
DAP chamber.
Set the TW reading tolerance (±25%).
Perform a test by pressing the key DAP TEST.

On the display the test result appears. If the
test succeeds, the unit emits three beeps of
confirmation, if the test does not succeed, the
system emits an alarm beep.
Numeric example:
On the chamber calibration certificate and on the yellow label Tw = 24,51
TW Setting = Twx100 Æ 2451
Tolerance % Setting = 10
Acceptance limits (2451-10% )= 2206 and (2451+10%)= 2696
The DAP chamber will be suitable if to the test it will reply with a value included between 2206 and
2696.
Exit from the page by pressing the key “Save Setup”.

8.2.3. Adjustments - Tube

Tube Seasoning
When is it necessary to perform a cycle of heating and kV rise?
• when a unit is idle for more than a month
• before performing a x-ray tube seasoning if it is cold
When is it necessary to perform a x-

x-ray tube seasoning?
• As often as the unit is idle for more than 3 months. When the message “Tube seasoning”
appears, the unit indicates automatically the need to perform a seasoning. The seasoning
must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Don’t perform the tube seasoning if it is not necessary

necessary because the x-
x-ray tube gets old
Procedure for the x-

x-ray seasoning
!!! WARNING !!!
POSSIBLE X-RAY EMISSION DURING THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS IN ORDER TO NOT TO EXPOSE ANY
BODY PART TO DIRECT AND INDIRECT RADIATIONS.
You enter the item “Tube calibration” from F2

the menu “ADJUSTMENTS” of “SERVICE
MENU”.
The program “Tube seasoning” is
made up of three subprograms:
• Warm or heating cycle (Warm-up)
• kVup or kV rise (kV step-up)
• Seas or seasoning (Seasoning)
With the key “F2” the subprogram between
Warm, kVup and Seas is selected.
You can choose to perform the program “Tube Seasoning” totally or in a partial way.
The management of the x-ray parameters, anode starting and braking, number of the exposures
and interval between them is automatically managed by the management program of the unit in
order to avoid:
• Unnecessary overheating and possible damages to the stator contained inside the monobloc
• Unnecessary contribution of heat inside the monobloc by limiting the thermal capacity.
The technician must only press the x-ray handswitch
For the preparation of the x-ray tube, perform only:

• Warm of heating
• kVup of kV rise
For the seasoning it is necessary to perform:

• Warm of heating
• kVup of kV rise
• Seas of seasoning
The parameters kV, mA, mAs, exposures number and delay between exposures are in the following
tables.
Perform an exposure with the proposed data till the different sequences are finished and then pass
to the next program.

During the x-ray emission, it is possible, even if not necessary for the procedure, to check the
stability of the high voltage and the anodic current by using an oscilloscope connected to the
inverter control board “PSM18”:
Ch A Æ Tp14 (kV feed) Æ 1V = 20kV

Ch B Æ Tp13 (anodic mA) Æ 1V = 50mA
GND Æ Tp3 (GND)
In case during the operation there are some working irregularities or anomalies it is necessary to
interrupt the seasoning for not less than half an hour; then restart from the beginning.
After finishing the seasoning, don’t perform new exposures.

Let cool the monobloc for 8 minutes.

8.2.4. Adjustments – Tube calibration

When is it necessary to perform the calibration?
Generally when on the unit one or more components are replaced:
• monobloc
• inverter
• filament supply board
Even a possible permanent variation of dose, caused by an intense unit use, could be
compensated by performing a new calibration.
A well-performed calibration allows to the unit to work properly and it protects the tube from
overloads by making the life longer.
During the x-ray emission, it is possible, even if not necessary for adjustment, to check the stability
of the high voltage and the anodic current by using an oscilloscope connected to the inverter
control board “PSM18”:
Ch. A Tp14 (kV feed) Format 1V = 20kV

Ch. B Tp13 (anodic mA) Format 1V = 50mA
GND Tp3 (GND)
You enter the item “Tube calibration” from

the menu “ADJUSTMENTS” of “SERVICE
MENU”.
From the screen aside it is possible to F4
choose to perform the calibration for the
single curves proposed or display the tube F8
calibration data.
For example, with the key F4 you enter the
calibration of the curve 3kW, while with the
key F8 you enter the data display of the
same curve.
After selecting the calibration curve, “New tube Calibration?” is required.

Reply YES if the tube is new or if you want to repeat completely the calibration procedure.
Reply No if the tube is not new and you want to check the parameters. In this way the parameters
previously calibrated are kept.
In the calibration screen, the kV value, the
required mA value and the set to obtain the
required mA are proposed.
Perform an exposure with the data proposed
and check that the required datum
corresponds to the mA read on the display.
In case the read mA datum does not
correspond to the set value, increase/decrease
the st value (pts) proposed through the keys
“mAs - & +” and repeat the exposure. When
the calibration results correct, store the datum
with the key “Save point”.
With the keys “kV -& +” you pass to the next
kV value. Only the first and the last kV values
of the curve can be calibrated, the remaining
values are calculated by the software
program.
The key “Graph” shows in the shape of graph
the kV and mA values of the first 10msec of
the performed exposure.

At the end of the calibration of all the curve

points, with the key “Save calibr.” all the
curve is stored and you can pass to the
calibration of another curve.
At the end of the calibration of every single

curve, with the key “Show calibr.” you can
see the performed calibration.
Don’t perform x-
x-rays with unknown filament ON values.
Relationship between FIL DAC OUT - FILAMENT CURRENT - ANODIC CURRENT
The DAC output that determines the filament current and so the anodic current, can be selected
between 2000 and 4000 points. Every point of the DAC corresponds to a set voltage of the
filament current of 2mV on B7- TP14.
The program TUBE CALIBRATION suggests automatically, in function of the set kV, the following
starting points to perform the calibration:
Cal. 3kW (SF) Cal. 7kW (SF) Cal. 9kW (SF) Cal. 30kW (LF)
kV Request Cal. kV Request Cal. kV Request Cal. kV Request Cal.

125 30 2290 125 70 2570 125 72 2590 125 200 3025
The tube focus is automatically associated to every single curve.

The variation of 5 points (in positive or negative) corresponds to a variation of 1mA of the current
in the filament and of about 2 anodic mA in the x-ray tube.

8.2.5. Adjustments - AEC calibration

!!! WARNING !!!
POSSIBLE X-RAY EMISSION DURING THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS IN ORDER TO NOT TO EXPOSE ANY
BODY PART TO DIRECT AND INDIRECT RADIATIONS.
Place the filter, cassette with screen, AEC paddle and probe of the dosimeter as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig.
4. The focal distance (SID) must be of 100cm ±1.

8.2.6. Diagnostics – DEMO/Display

The program allows to enter DEMO mode or check the display integrity.
The question “Set DEMO Mode?” is proposed. By replying “NO”, the functionality of the display is
checked through a series of screens that alternatively turn the display pixels ON and OFF.
By replying “YES”, you enter DEMO mode.
The mode DEMO is a particular functionality that allows to simulate the complete functioning of
the unit without x-ray emission. It is signaled that you are in DEMO mode when the writing
“DEMO” appears in the center of the display.
The DEMO mode remains active till the next unit re-switching-ON.
8.2.7. Diagnostics – SFW Versions

The program displays the version of software mounted on the various components of the unit and
in detail:

V = It is updated in case of modifications concerning the unit functions, but they cannot be
interchangeable downwards.
XX = It is updated in case of modifications concerning the unit functions and they go on to be

interchangeable downwards.
YY = It is updated in case of modifications of software that are not concerned to the unit functions.

8.2.8. Diagnostics - ERRORS

The item ERRORS presents the list of all anomalies occurred during the unit use (as a “logbook”);
it is very useful during the Service phase because it allows to look back to the causes of some
faults.
The list is circular (circular buffer - FIFO) and it can include till 100 records, in this way it is always
possible to check which are the last 100 alarms found.
Alarm types
The PRACTIX CONVENIO foresees two types of alarms:
• the Warning (WARN)
• the Errors (ERR)
For anybody operates on the unit

A signal through a proper characters string in the unit language configuration (“ENG”, “FRA”,
“GER”, “SPA”) will be given to anybody is operating on the unit. According to the error type the
string will be explicative of the problem. For both the alarms types, an appropriate box containing
the warning or error message appears on the display. For the final user it is enough to press the
key RESET to delete the alarm and continue to work with the same set modes.
Warning (WARN) When this alarm appears, it does not leave any trace.
Error (ERR) When this alarm appears, it always leaves a trace, by recording in the unit memory the
information concerning the error (date, time, kV, mAs and Focus) and it can be recalled by the
service personnel so that the technical intervention is favoured.
Display and interpretation of the stored alarms

You get access the item “Errors” from the menu “SETUP” of “SERVICE MODE”.
The list of the errors appears. It can be displayed in two different modes. The display, through
code or textual description of the error, occurs by pressing the key F1. The key F5 deletes, after the
confirmation request, the complete list.

In the middle of the last line the number of the current page and the total number of the list pages
are displayed.
Press the key MENU to go out and return to the previous screen.
It is possible that some alarms in Start up phase have a value of kV=0 and mAs=0.10,
because during the testing phase these two parameters are not still initialized.
It is possible that some alarms will have kV=---, mAs=---, F=--- because they do not refer
to the x-ray parameters (for example: alarms concerning motors).

It indicates the charge time in hours-minutes.
Time hrs
When the battery results charged, the value is not updated any more.
(Ah) It indicates the current supplied to the battery.
V It indicates the battery voltage.
Recharge mode suggested by the battery manufacturer: IUoU.
It indicates the battery status and it can assume the following meanings:
“IDLE” Idle
“I RAMP” The current reaches the max. value set in approx.10 seconds.
Phase (I) “I const”
Charge at constant current. The current can be chosen between 10% and
35% of the nominal capacity of the batteries (30Ah), so the allowed current
can be between 3 and 10A. The battery charger of the unit allows a
selection between 3 and 4,5A in step of 0,5 (cfr 8.2.11 “Max Current”
“I CONST” pag.34).
This phase finishes when at the ends of the battery a voltage known as
Boost is achieved (14,4V in the temperature interval between 10 and
35°C). Out of this temperature range the voltage of Boost is made up
status automatically for the NTC resistor, mounted in every battery pack.
Phase (Uo) “V const”
Constant boost voltage charge : 14,4V in the range between 10 and 35°C;
out of this range, the voltage is compensated as described in the previous
“V CONST.” paragraph.
This phase finishes when the charge current reduces at 1,5A for 100Ah.
Therefore, with our battery (30Ah), the passage to the next phase will occur
when I charge < 0,45A.
Phase (U) “Maint”
In this phase called Maintenance or Float the battery charger generates a
new voltage that is constant and compensated towards the temperature but
“MAINT.” with a different curves. The value of the new voltage must be 13,80V
between 15 and 35°C.
This phase can be kept during the time.
