Figure 3-1, X-Ray tube and collimator Installation

51
Correct number of spacers is required when you mount collimator to X-Ray tube.
NOTE
Refer to X-Ray tube and collimator instruction
52
3.2 Description
With a view to improving the

appearance of the collimator,
modification "A" entails the
substitution of the metal cover with

an ABS fire-retardant plastic cover.
Radiation leakage is controlled by
lead-plating the collimator and, in

part, the cover.
Multilayer, square field X-ray
collimator.
The collimator enclosure is

constructed of double steel walls for
maximum X-ray protection.

The collimator body contains 6 pairs
of lead-lined shutters controlled by
two knobs: two pairs of shutters are

positioned near the focus, two near the entrance window and two near the exit window of
the X-ray beam from the collimator to provide a sharply defined x-ray field.
Shutter movements are manual.
CHARACTERISTICS
 External adjustment of mirror angulation.

 High luminosity provided by a quartz iodide lamp.
 Timer limiting projection lamp exposure time to 30 seconds thus extending lamp life and preventing overheating.
 150 kVp radiation shielding.
 Minimum inherent filtration 2mm aluminium equivalent. (0,3mm and 1mm on request)
 Continuous film coverage from 0 x 0 to 43 x 43 cm at 90cm FFD (SID).

 Class II Laser system to align the centre of the radiographic x-ray field with the centre of the image receptor by
projecting a laser beam line of 680 mm covering the maximum xray field plus 250 mm to align the collimator
with the Potter Bucky tray.

The square field X-ray beam Limiting Device is designed for installation on rotating or fixed anode X-ray tubes (EN
53
60601-1-3 par 29.202.3). Manual controls provide for the adjustment of the X-ray field dimension to the size of the
image receptor or to that of the anatomical area of interest. Adjustment to the area under investigation is possible by
using the knobs on the front panel.
The direct visualisation of the x-ray field is given by a light beam which correspond to the xray beam, within a
tolerance of two percent of the selected distance. The light-field centre is provided by the intersection of two
perpendicular silk-screened lines into the Lexan window and projected on the light field by the light beam.
To activate the light field, press the area marked with the light symbol on the front of the device. The light will switch
on for 30 seconds and then automatically switch off. Average illumination is not less than 160 LUX; edge contrast ratio
is minimum four to one.
The data to set field sizes at different FFDs (SID) is shown by the conversion table on the front panel. Shutter setting
is performed by rotating the knobs until the pointers coincide with a number on the scale which, when applied to the
conversion table on the front panel, will indicate the field size.
The field size indicator corresponds to the X-ray field with a 2% tolerance of the FFD (SID)
set

3.4 MOUNTING THE COLLIMATOR TO THE X-RAY TUBE:
WARNING
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT

THE COLLIMATOR IS CORRECTLY ASSEMBLED. INCORRECT MOUNTING COULD
BE DANGEROUS: IT COULD CAUSE THE COLLIMATOR TO FALL OR TO OPERATE
INACCURATELY
1. Determine the distance from the focal spot to the tube port face from the X-ray tube housing literature.
2. Subtract the resulting distance from 80 mm. (3.15") and determine how many 1.5 mm (0,06”) spacers combined
with the 20 mm (0,78”) thickness of the mounting flange will make up the difference. The outer face of the
collimator mounting flange must be at 80 mm. (3.15") from the focal spot. Allowable tolerance is 1 mm. (0.04"). -
See Figure 5 -
3. Select four bolts of suitable thread (M6 ) and of such a length that they protrude through the flange and spacers
far enough to engage at least 5 threads into the tube port face. Securely bolt the flange to the tube port face.
4. Make sure that the flange is a SG Healthcare item and that it is perfectly compatible. Figure 5

5. Unscrew the four mounting and centering adjustment Allen screws until the four tongues are withdrawn from the
collimator top opening.
when unscrewing the Allen screws that control the tabs do not use force
NOTE exceeding 0,55 Nm.
Unscrew with care so as not to damage the fixing tabs
6. Manually adjust the collimator shutters to their widest setting. Carefully couple the collimator with the tube to
ascertain that the primary shutters have clearance to move in the port opening.
7. Place the collimator on the flange. Tighten the four mounting screws equally until the collimator is held firmly on
the tube housing, see Figure. 1
Collimator control tabs conform to EN 60601-1- par 28.4. SG Healthcare recommends an appropriate force which
ensures safe locking of the tabs (± 5 cNm)
59
make sure to tighten the M6 Allen screws securing the control tabs.
Important Appropriate tightening of the 4 Allen screws ensures secure mounting of the
collimator. Tightening force used must not exceed 0.50 Nm.
if the collimator is to be mounted on a ROTATING flange, use a tightening force

NOTE
between min. 0,50 Nm and max. 0.75 Nm.
8. Check to see that the distance from the collimator housing to the mounting flange is equal in all directions and
that the collimator face is parallel to the axis of the table.
9. Loosen the screws and adjust if required.

3.6 COLLIMATOR CALIBRATION:
Centring the x-ray field with the light field

Place a 35x43 cm. (14x17") cassette on the table top or other flat, horizontal surface and
position the x-ray tube/collimator assembly with the focal spot at 1 meter (40")
above and with the x-ray beam perpendicular to the cassette surface. Do not use
equipment scales for reference, but measure the distance from focal spot to cassette
surface.
if one meter FFD (SID) cannot be obtained, use the obtainable FFD (SID) that is
NOTE closest to one meter and calculate the measurement tolerances as the appropriate
percentages of the distance.
masking tape, etc. as required to place the test objects and image receptor at the specified
FFD (SID) and perpendicular relative to the x-ray beam as described in the following
procedures.
 Use the collimator light to centre the cassette in the field.
 Mark the location of the cassette with masking tape or
other means so that it may be removed and replaced in

the same position.
 Place white paper on top of the cassette to provide
maximum contrast for the light field.

 Set the collimator to provide an X-ray field size of
30x30 cm. (12x12") at one meter (40").

 Activate the light field and use it to position 20 coins as
shown in the diagram.

 Position each pair of coins touching one another so
that the inner coin is lighted as much as possible and
the outer coin is lighted as little as possible.
 The points of tangency will define the edges of the light field. The extra four coins in the lower left corner will
provide the means for adjusting the film.
 Set the technique factors at the x-ray generator to produce a density of about 1 (about 50 kVp, 5 mAs).
 Make an exposure. Remove the cassette and process the film. Use the test film to check the alignments:
described in the following paragraphs.
62
WARNING
WHEN THE LAMP IS SWITCHED "ON" THE CLASS II LASER SYSTEM WITH OPTICAL POWER
<1MW IS ACTIVATED. DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM
Collimator to Focal Spot Alignment (Primary shutter Cut-off).
Inspect the four images of the four collimator shutters which form the edges of the x-ray field.
A definitely indistinct edge indicates that the primary shutter, close to the focal spot, is the one forming the line,
rather than the outermost shutter.
To correct the condition, use the four mounting/centering adjustment screws to shift the collimator in the direction of
the indistinct line.
Repeat the test film exposure after making the adjustment.
The heel effect will cause the field toward the cathode to be slightly less sharp than
on the other three sides . This is normal and cannot be corrected by adjustment. In
NOTE addition, an x-ray tube of 12 ° or less target angle will produce an asymmetrically
shaped field when a large field size is used at short FFD (SID), because of anode cut-
off effect. This is normal and may not be corrected by adjustment.
Light field to x-ray Field Alignment.

EN 60601-1-3 par 29.202.9
Misalignment of the light field to the x-ray field in either the X (cross table) or Y (long table) direction must not
exceed 2% of the FFD. In this case, it would be less than 20 mm (0.80"). If the test film shows that the light field
(shown by the shadows of the markers) matches the xray field (shown by the shadow of the collimator shutters) to
within the diameter of one marker and, if the diameter is less than 20 mm (1.80"), then alignment complies with the
regulations.
Greater precision is possible. The recommended maximum deviation is one fourth. You are urged to adjust for the
greatest obtainable degree of congruency.
If misalignment is detected in both X and Y directions, check that the spacing from the focal spot to the collimator
mounting surface is 80 mm. +/- 1 mm. (3.15" +/-.039"). If the spacing requires adjustment, repeat the test film
exposure after the adjustment. If the collimator mount spacing is correct, but adjustment is still necessary, do not
move the collimator relative to the x-ray tube, but proceed as follows:
63
 Place the test film on the face of the cassette over the white paper and place the cassette in the position
originally marked.
 Check the correct position of the film by the shadows cast by the markers.
 Using the images of the collimator shutters as the reference for the shape and size of the x-ray field, adjust the
light field to match.
 To move the light field in the cross table direction, use a screwdriver as lever and remove the plate from the right
side of the collimator. Loosen the locking screws sufficiently to permit turning of the adjuster cam and allow
mirror positioning, (Fig. 1 and 2).
 Lock the fixing screw and cam after adjusting the mirror position, and replace the plate. To move the light field in
the long table direction, remove the collimator rear cover and the dissipator
WARNING
DO NOT IMMEDIATELY TOUCH THE DISSIPATOR WITH YOUR FINGERS IT
COULD BE HOT AND CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
 Loosen the four lamp-support fixing screws and using the hexagonal screw on the side of the lamp, adjust the
lamp to make the two fields coincide (Figure 3).
 The X-ray tube focus is not always in the same position; standard tolerance is ± 1mm.Use the countersink screw
to correct this error – by loosening and tightening this screw the lamp filament moves toward or away from the
mirror (see Figure 3)
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP, THE SOCKET, OR THE LAMP BRACKETWITH YOUR
FINGER. THEY CAN BE VERY HOT AND CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Do not touch the lamp with your fingers, even when it is cold. Oil from your skin will
cause the lamp to crack and possibly explode. If you have touched the lamp, wash
off the surface with alcohol, then handle the lamp with a piece of paper.

3.7 ADJUSTMENTS
Field Size Indication Adjustment.

EN 60601-1-3 par 29.201.8
Regulations state that collimators must indicate the size of the X-Ray field at the FFD (SID)
in use to within 2% of that FFD (SID). In this case, the indication must be correct to within 20
mm. (0.80").
Shutter Dial Calibration:

 Rotate the two control knobs to set the two pairs of shutter edges exactly over the 30x30cm (12"x12") borders of
the x.ray field.
 Read the measurement on the scale.
 If the line marking is not on "30", adjust the indicator accordingly by loosening the Allen screw on the side of the
knob.
Crosshair Alignment
 Activate the light-field.
 Turn the control knobs to adjust the light-field to a narrow line; each direction in turn.
 Check that the crosshair line is centred in the narrow light line in each direction.
 If adjustment is required, remove the cover from the sides and bottom of the collimator to gain access.
 Loosen the four screws securing the plastic panel to the collimator frame and position the plate to centre the
cross lines in the light lines.
Friction Brake Adjustment

 If a shutter control is too loose and does not hold position, or is too tight and is difficult to turn, adjust the
appropriate friction brake to obtain the optimum friction - See Figure 3.
 Remove the knobs and front panel to gain access to the adjustment point (See Figure 3)
 Before replacing the control close both shutters and note the position of the indicators: these must show correct
field size.- see paragraph 4, of this Manual - Field Size Indication Adjustment.
Mechanical Motion Stop Adjustment

The purpose of these stops (see figure 3 on page R-3) is to prevent stressing excessively the
shutters control linkage at the two extremes of travel, by positively limiting the rotation of the
control shafts.
68
Adjustment of these stops will not be required unless:
a. The shutters cannot be completely closed or opened to the largest size.
b. A resilience is felt at one or both extremes of the travel:

c. The shutters themselves appear to limit the motion rather than the stops.
CLOSED stop setting:
 Loosen the Allen screw placed on the side of the stop - see Figure 3
 Temporarily remount the knob to bring the shutters to the closed position. Take care to use just enough pressure
and no more than is needed to see that the shutters are touching each other.
 Use the field light to ascertain that shutters are closed.
 Rotate the stop to a standstill.

 Tighten the Allen screw.
 Open and close the shutters several times and check the shutters close fully just as the cam can be felt to strike
the stop.
OPEN stop setting:

 Remove the housing. SeeCover removal page F-3.
 Remove the two lateral leaded panels.

 The lower right side of the collimator body contains two screws to limit the travel of the lever long shutter
support. See Figure 2 page R-2 - top drawing

 The left side contains an hexagonal head screw to limit the travel of the lever cross shutter support. See Figure 2
- bottom drawing

Adjustment procedure:
Remove the two knobs and the collimator front panel to access the point of adjustment as
shown in Figure 3
a. The line is to fall on a perpendicular bisector line constructed against the antidust plastic panel toward the
control face of the collimator.
70
b. To adjust the position of the line, the laser system has to be rotated or shifted at the base
 To rotate the laser system, loosen the two screws on the metal strip holding the laser.
Tighten the two screws when the laser beam falls on or is parallel to the bisector line drawn on the anti-dust panel.
 To shift the laser system, loosen the two screws holding the laser system base to the beam limiting device front
plate. Displace the base until the laser beam falls over the perpendicular bisector line on the anti-dust panel.
Tighten the two screws.
The dials must show correct field sizes before being assembled. See Shutter Dial Calibration

3.8 COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION
3.8.1 MINIMUM FILTRATION REQUIREMENT:

To indicate compliance with 21 CFR, sub-chapter J, part 1020 of Performance Standard it is necessary for the
assembler to perform a series of tests.
Description of test methods are illustrated in this chapter but factors, such as experience, availability of equipment
and tolerance on compliance are referred directly to the Safety Standards covering Electromedical equipment.
WARNING
The following procedures require that x-radiation be produced. Take adequate

precautions that no part of human being is exposed to x-radiation, direct or indirect.
The above HVL requirements can be met if it is demonstrated that the aluminium equivalent
in the primary beam is not less than that shown in the following table:

The Aluminium equivalence of each component in the primary beam (x-ray tube and housing, beam limiting device
and any additional filtration in the system) is specified on the component, in the technical data attached to the
component or can be measured. Determine the total aluminium equivalence in the primary beam and make sure that
it is equal or greater than those specified in the above Table 2 (Total Filtration of Primary Beam in Aluminium
Equivalence).
Quick-check of minimum filtration requirement at a particular kvp

If the total inherent filtration cannot be seen, then the HVL must be obtained with the following procedures:
The HVL in millimetres of aluminium in the system under test must be compared with those specified in Table 1
(MINIMUM FILTRATION REQUIREMENT – BEAM QUALITY (HVL)) and must be greater than or equal to the values
shown in the table.
a. Direct the central x-ray beam perpendicular and in the center of a RAD-Check instrument. Determine the exact
distance from the x-ray tube focal spot to the window of the collimator (273 mm - 10.75”). Place the input area of the
RAD-CHECK at an equal distance from the collimator window. Collimate the beam to an area slightly larger than the
detector.
b. Make an exposure at a pre-selected technique factor of 90 kVp and appropriate mA and time values with no added
filtration in the beam; record the reading. Using the type 1100 Aluminium Alloy, tape a total of 2.5 mm of Aluminium
to the window of the collimator. Make an exposure using the same technique factors; record
the reading.
c. Verify that the radiation read with the 2.5 mm Al in the beam is greater or equal to 50% of the radiation read with
no filtration in the beam.
73
Standard absorber method
The HVL determination obtained from the following procedures are to be compared with those illustrated in the table
1 (minimum filtration requirement – beam quality (hvl)). The hvl in millimeters of aluminium obtained during the test
must be greater or equal than the values listed in the above mentioned table.
a. Direct the central x-ray beam perpendicular and in the center of a RAD-Check instrument. Determine the exact
distance from the x-ray tube focal spot to the window of the collimator (273 mm - 10.75”). Place the input area of
the RAD-CHECK at an equal distance from the collimator window. Collimate the beam to an area slightly larger
than the detector.
b. Select a tube potential of 100 kVp and appropriate mA and seconds, with no added filtration in the beam make
an exposure and record the reading. Using a set of several sheets of 1100 Aluminium Alloy, each having a
thickness of 0.5 or 1.0 mm, tape the filtration to the window of the collimator. Make an exposure for each
increments of filtration and record the reading.
c. Plot the exposure readings (log scale) versus the total added filtration thickness on semilog paper, see sample
hereunder.
d. Verify that HLV values in the useful beam for the above specific tube potential is not less than the values shown
in table 1 page H-1

4.5.3 Anchoring the Generator to the Floor
If it is desired to anchor the generator to the floor, refer to chapter 1. This should not be done until all
cable hookups to the generator are completed.
101
4.6 WIRING TO THE GENERATOR
Unless specified otherwise, all cables (except AC mains) should be routed into the generator main
cabinet through the cable access slots at the upper rear of the generator. The cables should be secured to the
lip on the inside of the cable access slots using tie-wraps or equivalent fasteners. For connections that must
be made to the H.V. auxiliary board, AEC board, or to the generator control board, route the cables over the
top of the fan-mounting bracket and over the chassis divider panel.
The AC mains cable is routed into the generator via the cable clamp on the rear of the generator,
adjacent to the main fuses.
All cables should be kept away from high voltage areas in the cabinet, and dressed neatly in place.
Cables should be cut to the correct length if possible, as excess cabling may contribute to EMI/RFI
problems. For those cables that cannot be cut to the correct length (HV cables and console cables for
example), try to minimize the area inside of any loops of excess cable, as these loops can create an
antenna.
Ferrules should be used on the ends of all stranded wires that are connected to terminal connections in the
generator. These must be supplied by the installer.
EXCESS LENGTHS OF CABLING MUST NEVER BE BUNDLED UP AND STORED INSIDE THE
GENERATOR.

2.7 LOW-SPEED STARTER TUBE COMPATIBILITY
The Low Speed Starter is integrated into the H.V. Auxiliary Board within the CMP 200® and CMP 200® DR
generators. The phase-shift capacitor is chassis-mounted as shown in figure 1-4.
Before continuing, note the phase-shift capacitor value is compatible with your X-ray tube stator. Please refer
to table 1, in the supplement, X-ray Tube Start Compatibility Tables in this manual. If the value of the phase-
shift capacitor is not compatible with the desired X-ray tube stator type, please contact CPI product support for
assistance.
Confirm that the boost voltage is set correctly for the selected tube type per the referenced Table 1 before
continuing. The procedure for setting the boost voltage is detailed in 2.7.1. The boost voltage may be
measured from F6 to F7 on the H.V. auxiliary board.
If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance. Confirm proper stator
operation using a suitable tachometer before making any exposures.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT ON THE H.V. AUXILIARY BOARD AT ALL TIMES THAT
THE GENERATOR IS SWITCHED ON. TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS WHEN
SERVICING THIS BOARD.
118
4.7.1 Setting 120 / 240 VAC Boost Voltage
Follow the steps below to verify and configure the low speed starter boost voltage. This is factory configured to
240 VAC.
1. Confirm the required boost voltage for the selected tube as described above. The requirement for the vast
majority of tubes in Table 1 of the supplement is 240 V. For tubes that require 120 V boost, this is noted
in the table.
2. The boost voltage is configured via jumpers on the H.V. auxiliary board:
 E16 to E15 selects 240 V boost.

 E14 to E15 selects 120 V boost.
Swap the connection at E14 and E16 if the boost voltage needs to be changed. The jumper wire (E16 - E15 or
E14 - E15) will need to be replaced if making this change. Extra jumper wires are attached to a bag on the lip
on the inside of the cable access slot above the HV module. Select the shortest wire from this bag that will
connect between the desired tabs on the board that has the proper terminations on the jumpers. Do not
discard the existing jumper; place it in the jumper kit to be available for future configuration changes.
Proceed to the next step if the jumper setting is correct.
THE ROTOR BOOST TIME MAY BE ADJUSTED IN THE RANGE OF 1 SECOND TO 4

SECONDS. THIS SHOULD BE SET PER THE X-RAY TUBE MANUFACTURERS

4.8 PROGRAMMING THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER
CAUTION
IMPROPER DIP SWITCH SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER ANODE SPEED

ROTATION WHICH CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE X-RAY
TUBE..
WARNING
ENSURE PROGRAMMING THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER IS FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND

PROPERLY DONE, BEFORE PUTTING THE GENERATOR IN SERVICE.
This section applies only to units fitted with a Dual-Speed Starter (DSS). Different settings apply depending on
the DSS board number, and subassembly/tab number installed. Check the subassembly number and tab
number (as shown in Figure 2-10A), and the board number (printed on the board) installed in your generator
and follow the steps outlined in this section to program the DSS.
4.8.1 EPROM type / dual-speed starter - applies only to DSS Board #728877-06.
1. The dual-speed starter EPROM is different for 400 V units and for 480 V units. If a 400 V unit is
reconfigured for 480 V, or a 480 V unit is reconfigured for 400 V, the dual-speed starter EPROM will need
to be changed. A spare EPROM (the complement of the EPROM that is in the dual- speed starter) is in a
bag attached to the lip on the inside of the cable access slot above the HV module. Refer to chapter 6 for
the EPROM replacement procedure, and to the table below for the applicable EPROM part numbers.

4.8.2 Tube type setting on DIP switch SW1 for DSS Boards #728877-06 and #903132-02
The dual-speed starter must be programmed for the X-ray tube type used at this site. This is done via DIP
switch SW1 on the dual-speed starter board.
The following tube functions are set with this switch:

 High-speed start and run voltages.
 Low-speed start and run voltages.
 Brake time and brake voltage.
 Boost times.
 Boost time increments. Boost time may be increased in 100 ms steps in the range of 100 to 700 ms.
CAUTION
DIP switch SW1 on the dual-speed starter must be set correctly to match the X-ray
tube in use. Failure to set this correctly may result in improper anode RPM and
therefore may damage the X-ray tube
1. Select the desired tube type from Table 2 of X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables Supplement 746026-
00. Record the tube type number (housing and insert) and the binary code as per the third column in the
table. Please note that the tube compatibility applies only to the housing and inserts listed, i.e. for the
specific manufacturer(s) shown.
2. If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance.
122
3. The recommended dual-speed starter used in CMP 200  DR X-ray generators will be one of the following
part numbers: 901297-02, 12, 13, 15 or 16 (400 VAC units), 901298-02, 12, 13, 15 or 16 (480 VAC units), or
906664-21, 22, 23. Refer to the X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Table Supplement 746026-00.
The stated capacitor values are equivalent capacitor values, and are derived from several combinations of relay-
selected series / parallel discrete capacitors, depending on the part number. Refer to MD-0924 and MD-1069
4. To determine if the dual-speed starter contained within your generator is compatible with the desired tube
as selected in step 1, note the part number of the dual-speed starter in your generator. This is printed on a
the back of the mounting plate, opposite the board assembly (see Figure 2-10A). This part number must
appear in the last column of Table 2 in X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables Supplement 746026-00.
5. Refer to figure 2-10. Set DIP switch SW1 with the binary code for the selected tube. The binary code
shown in the referenced Table 2 programs the tube type (housing and insert), for example housing type
Varian Sapphire with standard “R” stator and inserts per Table 2 requires SW1-1 to be set ON, SW1-2 OFF,
SW1-3 ON, SW1-4 OFF and SW1-5 OFF. This programs the voltages, brake times, and boost times required.
Additionally, SW1-6 to SW1-8 may be set to give incremental increases in boost time over the preselected
values (i.e. to run an older tube with worn bearings). For example, binary 000 gives zero increase, binary 001
gives 100 ms increase, binary 100 gives 400 ms increase, and binary 111 gives a 700 ms increase in boost time.
SW1-6 represents bit 1, SW1-7 bit 2, and SW1-8 represents bit 3.
EXAMPLE:
Binary 100 = decimal 4 = 400 ms incremental boost time increase:
1 0 0
Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit
SW 1-8 SW 1-7 SW
6. The DIP switch setting shown in figure 2-10 is for the example in step 5 with an incremental increase
in boost time of 200 ms.
7. Please confirm all settings to ensure proper anode RPM. Before making any exposures, use any of the
following:
① An accelerometer and an oscilloscope with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) feature or

123
② An accelerometer and a spectrum analyzer to verify anode rotation speed or
③ A suitable tachometer that is capable of measuring the anode rotation speed.
or
 Follow the tube's manufacturer's recommendation for verifying anode speed, if available.
FOR TUBES WHERE “LOW SPEED OPERATION ONLY” IS INDICATED, THE DUAL-
SPEED STARTER MUST BE PROGRAMMED FOR LOW SPEED ONLY, AND WHERE
NOTE “HIGH SPEED OPERATION ONLY” IS INDICATED, THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER MUST
BE PROGRAMMED FOR HIGH SPEED OPERATION ONLY. REFER TO THE TUBE

4.8.5 Configuring dual-speed starter 901297-15 / 901298-15
Dual-speed starter part number 901297-15 / 901298-15 is a special configuration in which the low-speed phase
shift capacitors may be set to 15.5 uF or 28 uF. The 15.5 uF setting is intended for use in installations where
low-speed operation of CGR (GE) Statorix tubes is required. The high-speed capacitance is automatically
selected to either 3 uF or 6 uF according to the DIP switch setting.
Refer to figure 2-11. In configuration “A”, (28 uF) two leads are connected to the lower right capacitor. Thus,
the capacitor is in-circuit in this configuration. Configuration “B” (15.5 uF) has one of the leads removed from
the terminals of this capacitor, thus the capacitor is out of the circuit.
129
 To change from configuration “A” to “B”, disconnect the interconnecting lower lead from the lower left
capacitor in figure 2-11, and connect it to the same terminal on the lower right. This removes the lower
right capacitor from the circuit.
 To change from configuration “B” to “A” in figure 2-11, reconnect the lead between the two capacitors, as
shown. This connects the capacitor into the circuit.
After the phase shift capacitors are correctly configured, set the DIP switches as follows:
 Locate the desired tube in table 2 of supplement 746026, which follows Chapter 2. With dual-speed starter
901297-15 / 901298-15 set to configuration “A”, this starter is compatible with all tubes requiring a 3 uF or
6 uF high-speed shift capacitor (unless indicated otherwise) and a 28, 30 or 31 uF low-speed shift capacitor.
When set to configuration “B”, it is only compatible with tubes requiring a 3 uF or 6 uF high-speed shift
capacitor (unless indicated otherwise) and a 15.5 uF low-speed shift capacitor.
 Note the DIP switch setting for the desired tube as per table 2.
 Set the DIP switches as per 4.8.2.

4.10 INITIAL RUN-UP
This section describes the procedure for auxiliary transformer line voltage tap selection, and for initial power-on
of the generator after it has first been installed.
PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS REGARDING THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER:
 IF USING A DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER WITH AN ISOLATED SECONDARY, THE SECONDARY
WINDING MUST BE A WYE (STAR) CONFIGURATION WITH THE CENTER POINT GROUND-REFERENCED. DO
NOT USE A DELTA-CONFIGURED SECONDARY, AS THERE IS NO GROUND REFERENCE IN THIS
CONFIGURATION.
 IF USING AN AUTOTRANSFORMER TYPE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER, THE A.C. INPUT TO THE
TRANSFORMER MUST BE GROUND-REFERENCED.
4.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection
For 208 / 230 V generators, the line voltage taps on the auxiliary transformer must be checked before
powering up the generator.
For 400 / 480 V generators, the auxiliary transformer line voltage tap is factory set to match the line voltage
that was specified at the time of the order. If these units are to be operated from other than the rated line
voltage (i.e. if a 400 V generator is to be operated from 480 V mains), the line voltage tap on the auxiliary
transformer must be changed as described below.
For 208 / 230 VAC generators:

1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation per Generator
Power Requirements
2. Locate the auxiliary transformer inside the generator cabinet.
132
4.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection (Cont)
3. Note the line-voltage tap position on this transformer as determined by the location of the wire on the
208V or the 240V tap on the transformer primary. This is normally set to the 240V tap. Refer to figure 2-
12.
4. Based on the nominal line voltage, set the transformer primary voltage tap as follows:
 Loosen the clamping screws for the current line-voltage tap, and for the required line-voltage tap.
 Connect to the 208 V tap if the line voltage is 215 VAC or less.
 Connect to the 240 V tap if the line voltage is 216 VAC or higher.
 Retighten both of the clamping screws.
Figure 2-12: Auxiliary transformer, terminal view
For 400 / 480 VAC generators:

The 400 / 480 V tap setting only needs to be changed if a 400 V generator is to be operated from 480 V mains,
or if a 480 V generator is to be operated from 400 V.

1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation per GENERATOR
POWER REQUIREMENTS
2. Locate the auxiliary transformer inside the generator cabinet.
3. Note the line-voltage tap position on this transformer as determined by the location of the wire on the
133
400V or the 480V tap on the transformer primary. This is set to the 400 or 480V tap to match the line
voltage specified at the time of the order. Refer to figure 2-12.
CAUTION
ENSURE THAT DIP SWITCH SW3-8 SETTING ON THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER BOARD
(903132-02) IS SET ACCORDING TO SECTION 2.8.3 OF THIS DOCUMENT, WHICH
SHOULD MATCH THE LINE VOLTAGE AND THE SETTING OF THE AUXILIARY
TRANSFORMER TAP SELECTED HERE
134
4.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection (Cont)
4. Based on the nominal line voltage, set the transformer primary voltage tap as follows:
 Loosen the clamping screws for the current line-voltage tap, and for the required line-voltage tap.
 Connect to the 400 V tap if the line voltage is nominally 400 VAC.
 Connect to the 480 V tap if the line voltage is nominally 480 VAC.
 Retighten both of the clamping screws.
4.10.2 Initial Voltage Measurements
1. If the mains supply is compatible with the generator, switch on the main breaker and / or the
disconnect switch and check for the following voltages:
DO NOT SWITCH THE GENERATOR ON AT THIS TIME (ONLY THE AC MAINS TO

NOTE
THE GENERATOR IS TO BE SWITCHED ON).
WARNING
USE EXTREME CARE IN MEASURING THESE VOLTAGES. ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WITH

MAINS VOLTAGES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
MAINS VOLTAGE WILL BE PRESENT INSIDE THE GENERATOR CABINET, EVEN

WITH THE CONSOLE SWITCHED OFF.
THE DC BUS CAPACITORS MAY PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD FOR A MINIMUM OF

5 MINUTES AFTER THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF. CHECK THAT
THESE CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE TOUCHING ANY PARTS IN THE
GENERATOR
135
2. Measure and record the voltage across the main line fuses in the generator. Single-phase units will only
use one set of voltage measurements.
L1 phase to L2 phase: VAC L2 phase to ground: VAC

L1 phase to L3 phase: VAC. L2 phase to ground: VAC.
L2 phase to L3 phase: VAC. L3 phase to ground: VAC.
3. Are the line-to-line and line-to-ground voltages within specification for the unit? For single phase 230 V
units, the line to ground voltage should be 99 – 127 V. For 3 phase units, the phase to ground voltage
should be 114 – 146 V for 208 / 230 V units, 230 V ± 10 % for 400 V units, and 277 V ± 10 % for 480 V
units.
Check
4. Confirm that the auxiliary transformer line voltage taps are set to the appropriate position as per the
measured line voltage.
Check
5. For units fitted with the optional dual-speed starter board 728877-06: if a 400 V unit is reconfigured for
480 V, or a 480 V unit is reconfigured for 400 V, the dual-speed starter EPROM will need to be changed
as described in the section EPROM type / dual-speed starter . Confirm that this has been done.
Check
For units fitted with the optional dual-speed starter board 903132-xx, the line input voltage is sensed
automatically by the board and no component needs to be changed.
4.11 TUBE mA AUTO CALIBRATION
It is recommended that the generator be tested at this point with only the X-ray tube and rotor / high- tension
cables connected. The generator should be able to complete an X-ray tube seasoning and calibration cycle
without other equipment connected to the generator (other than the basic interlocks as noted below). This will
allow for easier fault isolation as each section of the system is connected and tested.
Before being able to make X-ray exposures, the room door interlock must be closed and the thermal switch
136
must be closed. The interlocks cannot be deprogrammed during tube mA auto calibration.
It is recommended that the tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) before beginning tube auto calibration,
particularly if the tube has not been used for some time. Refer to chapter 6.
Before beginning tube auto calibration, the tube(s) used in this installation must be properly selected, and the
generator limits should be programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.
4.12 FINAL CHECKS
The room interface connections may now be completed. These items are described in 4.6.8.
When finished all wiring, check that all connections are tight and secure.
Check that all cables are dressed neatly inside the main cabinet, and secured as necessary.
Reconnect any grounds that have been removed from covers. Then reinstall all covers before placing
the generator into service.
For units with the touchscreen console, perform touchscreen calibration. Refer to chapter 3C for the
proper calibration procedure.
THE INSTALLER SHOULD ENSURE THAT ALL CABLE CONNECTIONS TO THE

NOTE GENERATOR ARE SECURE, AND ALL CABLES EXTERNAL TO THE GENERATOR ARE
ADEQUATELY PROTECTED AGAINST ACCIDENTAL DISCONNECTION.

4.13.1 INTRODUCTION
This supplement contains the X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables for the Low Speed Starter (LSS) and the Dual
Speed Starter (DSS).
4.13.2 LOW SPEED STARTER TUBE SELECT TABLE
CMP200 Generators Only
The boost voltage may be set to either 240 VAC (factory default) or 120 VAC. This should be set to 240 VAC, except
where specifically noted in Table 1 below. The Low Speed Starter output is at the same frequency as the AC line (50 Hz
or 60 Hz).
The Low Speed Starter is integrated into the HV Auxiliary Board within the CMP 200® and CMP 200® DR generators.
The phase-shift capacitor is chassis-mounted and may be changed in the field. The LSS part number corresponds to
the value of capacitor installed. The boost time is software-configurable from the console or GenWare®. Note that
these generators do not use a separate run voltage, instead cycling the boost voltage on/off as required. The boost
duty cycle is not hardware-configurable.

The Dual Speed Starter (DSS) synthesizes its output frequencies independently of the line frequency and will operate all tubes at 60/180 Hz, unless a particular
tube only has published ratings to operate at 150 Hz. In this case, the starter will output 50/150 Hz when set for these tubes.
Unless indicated otherwise within Table 2, setting the switches to the code indicated for the applicable Tube Type selects all required operating parameters.
The Dual Speed Starter part number corresponds to the AC line voltage (except Indico IQ) and the configuration of phase-shift capacitors installed.

4.14.2.2 Outputs (Cont)
The generator is factory configured to supply 110 VAC to drive the Buckys. The Bucky
outputs may be reconfigured to supply 24 VDC or 220 VAC if required, as described in
NOTE chapter 8. Please confirm compatibility with the Buckys used in this installation before
proceeding. For tomo operation, the applicable Bucky outputs must be programmed as
necessary
The BUCKY 1 START and TOMO / BUCKY 2 START relays K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary board have provisions for
R-C snubber circuits to be connected across these relays. For older Buckys that typically have relay inputs, the R-C
snubber circuits usually need to be connected. These snubbers attenuate the dV/dT transients that are generated when
the corresponding relay in the Bucky opens.
For newer Buckys with opto-coupler inputs, the R-C snubber circuits across relays K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary
board should remain disconnected, as the leakage current through the R-C snubber can be sufficient to energize the
opto-couplers in the Bucky(s) when the corresponding relays on the H.V auxiliary board are open.
FOR OLDER BUCKYS WITH RELAY INPUTS:
 Refer to the table below and to MD-0930 in chapter 9. The required resistors (R2, R15) must be installed to
complete the R-C snubber circuit.
FOR NEWER BUCKYS WITH OPTO-COUPLER INPUTS:

 No action required. Resistors R2 and R15 are NOT factory installed, therefore the R-C snubber is open-circuit. It
is the responsibility of the installer to provide the proper interfacing circuits to the opto coupler(s) in these
types of installations.
The resistors that must be installed to complete the R-C snubber circuits across K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary
board are shown below. Kits with these resistors are available from CPI Product Support. The kit part number is
90301600.

4.14.7.1 Tube Selection / Tube Setup
The TUBE SELECTION function allows the desired tube type to be selected, and it also allows setting of the default
limits for the selected tube.
The CMP 200® consoles have a preloaded library of compatible X-ray tubes. In addition to the preloaded tube files,
various user-selectable tubes can be uploaded to the console via the GenWare® console utilities.
 For the membrane console, if no user-selectable tube files have been uploaded, the first page of the tube selection
screens will be titled DEFAULT TUBE 1 SEL. This page will list the first eight preloaded tubes.
Additional preloaded tube types will be listed on subsequent pages.
 For the membrane console, if user-selectable tube files have been uploaded, the first page of the tube selection
screens will be titled USER TUBE 1 SELECT. This page will contain a maximum of eight tubes,
which is the maximum number of user-selectable tube files that can be uploaded to the console. Preloaded tube types
will be listed on subsequent pages.
 If user-selectable tube file(s) are uploaded to the console and if these file(s) are of a newer revision than existing
preloaded tube files, the latest user-uploaded files will not overwrite similar (possibly older) files on the DEFAULT
TUBE 1 SEL pages.

The inputs and outputs defined in the previous table are programmable as follows:
 Inputs may be programmed such that the selected input is active or inactive during various states of the
generator. Inactive inputs are ignored; unused inputs should normally be programmed to be inactive.
 Outputs may be programmed such that the relay connected to the selected output is energized or de-
energized during various states of the generator. Unused outputs should normally be programmed to be de-
energized.
 The inputs and outputs must be programmed separately for each receptor. Each receptor may have its own
unique programming.
MEMBRANE CONSOLE
The STATE button on the upper right hand side of the menu selects the current state. The word STATE is
preceded by the description of the state: for example, STANDBY.
The arrow in the lower middle area points to the current level for the selected state. Moving to the next state is
accomplished by pressing the STATE button. The states are as follows:
 STANDBY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator is in standby or idle mode.
 PREP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator enters PREP mode.
 GEN RDY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator has completed PREP mode and is ready to
225
expose.
 RAD EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a radiographic exposure.
Pressing the button next to the selected input or output on the left of the display selects that function. The level of
the selected state is changed by pressing the selection button again (low = off / inactive, high = on / active).
For inputs, setting the level “low” means that the input is ignored during that state. Setting the level “high”
requires that the corresponding input is satisfied before the generator will advance to that state. For
example, if the door interlock (DOOR ITLK) is set to logic “low” for all states, then an X-ray exposure may be
made without a door interlock closure.

Setting an output level “low” causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized during the selected
state. Setting the level “high” will cause the associated relay to be energized during the selected state. For
example, the Bucky 1 “start” output will be disabled if BKY 1 START is set to “low” for all states.
The example below shows a TYPICAL input configuration.
Figure 3C-16: Example of input states
GenWare®
On the Inputs and Outputs tabs, the generator states are shown above the vertical grey / white bars. For
inputs, grey indicates states where the input cannot be programmed. Only states that are shown in white can be
changed. Outputs are programmable for each of the four generator states.
The logic level of the selected state is changed by clicking in the desired state column, to the right of the
selected input or output (unchecked = off / inactive, checked = on / active).

For inputs, an unchecked state means that the input is ignored during that state. A checked state (marked with
an X) requires that the corresponding input be satisfied before the generator will advance to that
state.
For outputs, an unchecked state causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized during the
selected state. A checked state (marked with an X) will cause the associated relay to be energized during the
226
selected state.

The APR validator checks each APR entry to confirm that none of the requested parameters exceed the
generator or tube limits. The APR validator will also check that the requested functions(s) within each APR are
enabled. Invalid APR’s may result due to GenWare® downloads - as APR’s are not validated within
GenWare® - or previously valid APR’s may become invalid if generator limits or setup parameters are
subsequently changed.
Invalid parameters and techniques may be corrected after the APR validator has completed its validation
checks.
The APR validator is not available if CM thickness mode is enabled. If the APR validator
NOTE is selected with CM thickness mode turned on, a message will be displayed indicating that
CM thickness mode is currently not supported by the APR validator.

To edit a failed APR

11. In EDIT mode (the console will be in EDIT mode after the EDIT button is pressed).
 The console will attempt to change the value(s) that caused the APR validation to fail. For
example, if the generator is set to maximum mA = 200 mA and the selected APR is
requesting 360 mA, the console will then reduce the maximum mA to under 200 mA.
 Another example of a failed APR is an anatomical view that is programmed for AEC. If the
APR is programmed to select an image receptor that has AEC channel 0 assigned to it (no
AEC), then the APR validator will display the error message 49 NOT ENABLED. In this case,
either the selected receptor must be programmed for AEC or the APR must be
reprogrammed such that it does not select AEC.
 Select SAVE if the revised parameters and techniques are acceptable. The message
SAVING APR DATA… will be briefly displayed. Do not turn the power off while the data is
being saved, as doing so will corrupt the entire APR database.
 APR’s that have been fixed will be removed from the list of failed APR’s.
 The console will validate the remaining patient sizes within the same anatomical view after
each save. These will also be removed from the list of failed APR’s if applicable.
 To exit the EDIT mode without making any changes, press one of the soft key buttons [1] to
[4] that is associated with a failed APR.

12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 to edit the remaining APR’s.

4.14.12 DAP CALIBRATION
The DAP device must be calibrated before use, and the calibration must be periodically checked as per the DAP
device manufacturers requirements, or as per local regulations.
4.14.12.1 Equipment Required

The following equipment is required for DAP calibration.
 An X-ray cassette and film. The speed of the film / screen is not relevant, as the film is only used to
determine the area that is irradiated at the dose-measurement plane.
An X-ray cassette and film is the preferred method to measure the irradiated area, but if this is not readily
available, for example if this is a digital only system, a procedure is given to determine the required area using
the imaging system.

 A film processor to develop the film, if required.
 A calibrated dosimeter.
 A ruler or tape measure with centimeter markings. This will be needed to measure the exposed area of the film.
If measuring in inches, use a calculator and multiply inches by 2.54 to obtain the measurement in
centimeters.
4.14.12.2 DAP Calibration Overview

The first step involved in calibrating the DAP meter in the generator is to carefully make a dose measurement at a
given distance from the X-ray source. The next step is to expose a test film at the same distance from the X-ray
source as the dose measurement that was just made.
The dose-area product is calculated by multiplying the measured dose, in mGy, by the exposed area of the film,
2 2
in cm . This gives the actual dose-area product, in mGycm .
After the reference dose-area product is determined as described above, it is compared to the DAP reading as
measured by the generator. Adjustments are made to the CAL. VALUE 1 parameter in the DAP SETUP menu such
that the console’s DAP display corresponds to the calculated dose-area product. This procedure may need to be
repeated several times until the required accuracy is obtained.
The reason the DAP device (a specialized ion chamber) is able to accurately measure the dose-area product at its
location at the bottom of the collimator is that although the radiation level falls off at a rate inversely
proportional to the square of the distance from the source, the irradiated area increases as the square of the
2
distance from the source. For example, by doubling the distance, the dose falls to (½) = ¼ of the previous dose
2
BUT the area increases to 2 = 4 times the area. Therefore, the dose-area product will remain constant at a given
distance from the source. This is also the reason that care must be taken to ensure that the area
246
measurement is done at the same distance from the X-ray source as the dose measurement.
4.14.12.3 DAP Calibration Procedure
Figure 3C-19: DAP setup
247
4.14.12.3 DAP Calibration Procedure (Cont)
Use these steps to calibrate the DAP meter(s) in the generator.
Step Action
1. Set up the dosimeter as per figure 3C-19. The probe should be centered relative to the
central ray from the X-ray tube, and sufficiently far off the tabletop to minimize scatter
radiation. Do not use any absorber during this procedure.
2. Open the collimator such that the field size at the location of the probe is approximately
12 cm X 12 cm. Ensure that the probe is fully irradiated.
3. Enter the DAP SETUP menu.
4. Set the generator to 70 kV, 100 mA, 20 ms.
5. Press DAP to access the RESET / TEST /PRINT menu, then press RESET to reset the DAP
display to zero. The DAP will reset to zero, then the generator will return to the DAP
SETUP menu.
6. Make an X-ray exposure and note the dose per the dosimeter. Record the mR or mGy
value
7. Note the DAP value as displayed on the console, and record the value in a copy of table
3C-4.
8. Replace the dosimeter with an X-ray cassette and film if available. The film plane must be
at the same location as the dosimeter was in step 8.
If using an image sensor such as an I.I., or flat panel, or other non-film image sensor,
the image pickup plane must be at the same location as the dosimeter was in step 8.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS STEP CANNOT BE OVERSTATED: THE IRRADIATED
AREA MEASUREMENT MUST BE MADE AT A POINT THAT IS THE SAME DISTANCE
FROM THE X-RAY SOURCE AS THE DOSE WAS MEASURED AT.
9. Ensure that the collimator field at the measurement plane is smaller than the active area
of the image pick-up device (film, I.I., or other). Refer to figure 3C-20.
Do not readjust the collimator from the setting that was used in step 8.
10. Make another exposure using the same settings as in step 6.
11. Develop the film (if used).
248
12. Measure the irradiated image area. For film, measure the length and width of the
exposed
area, and record the results in table 3C-4. Refer to figure 3C-20.
If using a digital imaging system, some systems have a cursor available that allows
measurement of the length and width of the area in question. If the digital imaging
system does not allow image size measurement, it is suggested that an X-ray opaque item
of known dimensions be placed at the image plane. (A collimator test tool would be
useful in this application). The length and width of the irradiated area can then be
extrapolated by comparison to the size of the reference object. Record the length and
width of the irradiated area at the measurement plane in table 3C-4.

2
13. Calculate the irradiated image area, in cm . Use the length and width recorded in table 3C-
4.
14. Calculate the dose-area product by multiplying the area from table 3C-4 X the dose in
mGy from table 3C-4. Record the resulting value at step 3 in table 3C-4.
15. Calculate the percentage error between the manually calculated DAP measurement
(table 3C-4, step 3) and the measured DAP value (table 3C-4, step 4). Record the
percentage error in step 5 of the table.
16. If the displayed DAP reading does not meet the required accuracy, increase or
decrease CAL. VALUE 1 (membrane console) or Calibration Value (DAP Device
Type 1) for GenWare® by the same percentage as the percentage error.
17. Repeat steps 7 to 16 until the required accuracy is obtained. Make as many copies of
table 3C-4 as required to record the results from all required iterations.

4.15.2.5 Precalibration Notes
Please note the following points before beginning AEC calibration.
CAUTION
THE PROCEDURES IN THESE SECTIONS REQUIRE X-RAY EXPOSURES. TAKE

ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM X-RADIATION.
SHOULD AN IMPROPER TECHNIQUE BE SELECTED, OR AN AEC FAULT OCCUR CAUSING NO AEC
FEEDBACK SIGNAL TO THE GENERATOR, THE EXPOSURE WILL TERMINATE AND AN “AEC DEVICE ERR / AEC
FEEDBACK ERROR” MESSAGE WILL BE DISPLAYED IF THE RAMP VOLTAGE FAILS TO REACH 4% OF THE
EXPECTED RAMP VOLTAGE WHEN THE EXPOSURE TIME REACHES 20% OF THE SELECTED BACKUP TIME.
 When using a photo diode for AEC, there is normally no need to iterate all the kV breakpoints during AEC
calibration. It will usually suffice to use the 75 kV breakpoint calibration value at all kV breakpoints.
If doing this, the calibration values should be confirmed at all kV breakpoints using the acquired digital
images.
 For DR applications, the AEC calibration procedure uses the same potentiometers and menus as
described for film in the following sections. However, the imaging system manufacturers literature should
be consulted to determine the required dose / image brightness.
 The generator must be known to be calibrated before beginning AEC calibration.

 All components (X-ray tubes, collimators, AEC chambers, etc) used during AEC calibration must be those
that will be used during procedures, and must be positioned as they will be in actual use of the X-ray
room.
 During AEC calibration, always ensure that the central ray is centered relative to the image receptor.
 Before placing the absorbers, ensure that the collimator is opened sufficiently to irradiate ALL fields on the
AEC pickup device.
 Ensure that the absorber is positioned to fully cover the X-ray field. The absorber must extend a
minimum of 3/8 in. (10 mm) beyond the X-ray field.
 During AEC calibration, all AEC exposures should be done using mA values such that the
exposures are in the 30 to 100 ms range UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
266
 The recommended absorber is water. This should be in a plastic container of uniform thickness.
Lexan of a similar thickness is also a suitable absorber.
 Care must be exercised when using table Buckys with low kV values because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the 60 – 65 kV range. This will adversely affect AEC operation.
 During AEC calibration, if exposure times do not change if the mA is varied, it may be that the input
signal level to the AEC board is too high. If this is experienced, check the ramp voltage at the output of
the first gain stage (the first operational amplifier output) on the AEC board for the subject AEC channel.
This voltage must never exceed 10 V. If this voltage does exceed 10 V, reduce the input signal level as
required.
4.15.2.6 Required Test Equipment
The following test equipment is required for AEC calibration.
Lexan or equivalent (or water) absorbers in various thicknesses. Water should be in a plastic container of
uniform thickness.
Radiation dosimeter for digital applications.
A supply of film in each film speed that will be calibrated.

A cassette with intensifying screen in each speed that will be calibrated.

35. Repeat steps 26 to 34 for the remaining breakpoints: 50 kV, 65 kV, 110 kV, 130 kV, 85 kV,
and 95 kV. Do the breakpoint calibration in the stated order.
The 50 kV and 130 kV breakpoints only need to be calibrated if these kV ranges are used
with AEC. Refer to the comments below.
50 kV: At approximately 50 kV and under, the film screen sensitivity becomes too low for
practical AEC operation when used with a Bucky. Unless special techniques are used which
require the 50 kV range, simply enter the 55 kV calibration number into the 50 kV
breakpoint.
130 kV: Unless special high kV techniques are used which require the 130 kV range, simply
enter the 110 kV calibration number into the 130 kV breakpoint.

36. Repeat steps 9 to 35 for FILM SCREEN 2, except:
Film screen 2 must be the next highest film speed after film screen 1.
When calibrating the 75 kV breakpoint for film screen 2, DO NOT adjust the AEC board gain
pot. Dose adjustments for film screen 2 at 75 kV must only be made by varying the 75 kV
breakpoint calibration numbers.
37. Repeat steps 9 to 35 for FILM SCREEN 3, except:
Film screen 3 must be the highest film speed.

When calibrating the 75 kV breakpoint for film screen 3, DO NOT adjust the AEC board gain
pot. Dose adjustments for film screen 3 at 75 kV must only be made by varying the 75 kV
breakpoint calibration numbers.

4.15.4 SHORT AEC TIME COMPENSATION
Use these steps to perform the short AEC exposure time compensation.
Step Action
THESE STEPS ONLY APPLY IF AEC EXPOSURES LESS THAN APPROXIMATELY 15 MS ARE
REQUIRED AND THE AEC BOARD HAS SHORT AEC TIME ADJUSTMENT POTENTIOMETERS.
1. Select the image receptor to be short AEC-time compensated, i.e. table Bucky.
2. Select the highest film speed used on the selected receptor, and then select 75 kV.
3. Set the mA per table 3D-8 for the film speed being used. Reinstall the absorber as per
table 3D-8 for the 75 kV breakpoint.
4. Make an exposure and confirm the mAs readings as previously recorded in table 3D-9.
5. Increase the mA such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 10 ms.
6. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such that
the mAs is approximately the same as previously recorded (step 4).
7. Increase the mA again such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 6 ms
(but not less).
8. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such that
the mAs is approximately the same as it was in step 6.

9. The short AEC-time compensation adjustments affect the AEC calibration at longer
exposure times. Therefore, it may now be necessary to readjust the gain pot (at 75 kV) for
the AEC channel being calibrated to restore the mAs values to the values previously
recorded in table 3D-9. Ensure that the absorber thickness and mA values are as per table
3D-8 when readjusting the AEC gain pot.
10. Using 75 kV exposures, films should be exposed and developed, and the O.D. checked at
AEC exposure times of approximately 6 ms and approximately 100 ms. If the film density is
not acceptable at both short and long AEC exposure times, it will be necessary to iterate
the adjustments of both the short AEC time compensation pot and the AEC gain pot by
repeating steps 3 to 8.
11. Repeat steps 1 to 10 for each image receptor (AEC channel) to be short AEC time
compensated.

4.15.5 AEC DENSITY CALIBRATION
The DENS. SETUP menus for the membrane console are shown below.
279
4.15.5 AEC DENSITY CALIBRATION (Cont)
Figure 3D-7: AEC Setup & Calibration window, Density tab

Please note the following points regarding density calibration:
 Up to eight density plus and eight density minus steps are available. If ± 8 density steps are not required,
the unwanted density steps may be deprogrammed per the procedure below. For example, if only ± 5 density
steps are desired, then density steps ± 6, 7, and 8 may be deprogrammed.
 Once the desired number of ± density steps are known, the relative minimum and maximum mAs values must be
determined. Typically, the minimum density step will result in half (50%) of the nominal mAs (dose) and the
maximum density step will typically give double (100% increase) the nominal mAs (dose). The nominal mAs is
the value that was recorded at 0 density in table 3D-9.
 The relative mAs change per density step must be determined next. To do this, note the relative minimum
and maximum mAs as determined above (i.e. 50% at min density and 100% increase at max density), then
calculate the number of - density steps and the number of + density steps that will be required.
The relative mAs change between density steps will then be the minimum density (i.e. 50) divided by the number of
density minus steps or the maximum density (i.e. 100) divided by the number of density plus steps. This will yield
the required mAs increment for each density minus step and for each density plus step respectively.
For ± 8 density steps, this gives a mAs decrease of 6.25% per density minus step (8 steps x 6.25% per step = 50% mAs
at -8 density) or a mAs increase of 12.5% per density plus step (8 steps x 12.5% per step = 100% mAs increase at +8
density).
280
Refer to table 3D-10 for two typical examples of density steps vs. calibration numbers. For 8 minus density
steps the mAs decrease is 6.25% per step, and for 8 + density steps the mAs increase is 12.5% per step as per
the example calculation above.

For 5 minus density steps the mAs decrease is 10% per step, and for 5 + density steps the mAs increase is 20%
per step.

4.15.6 AEC CALIBRATION (WALL BUCKY)
Figure 3D-8: Equipment setup for wall Bucky AEC calibration
Please note the following points regarding wall Bucky calibration:

 If the wall Bucky is dedicated to chest radiography, a focused grid with a 10:1 or 12:1 ratio should be
used along with an SID of 72 in. (180 cm).
 If the wall Bucky will be used for conventional as well as chest radiography, then two grids should
ideally be used. See the note on the next page.
A reasonable compromise if a single grid must be used is a 10:1 ratio, 60 in. (150 cm) grid.
SINCE MOST WALL BUCKYS ARE USED AT 40 AND 72 IN. (100 AND 180 CM) SID, THE
GRID MUST BE CHOSEN WITH CARE WITH RESPECT TO CUT-OFF.
NOTE A TYPICAL GRID WILL HAVE AN 8:1 RATIO, WITH 85 LINE PAIR / INCH OR 10:1 RATIO

10. Load the test cassette with fresh film and install it in the image receptor. Using the same
technique as in the previous step, expose the film and develop it.
11. Measure the O.D. The desired value should have been previously recorded in a copy of table
3D-11.
12. If the measured O.D. is not the desired value, adjust the gain pot to increase or decrease the
density, then repeat the previous two steps. Do not readjust the kV breakpoints that were
previously calibrated.
13. Change the SID to 40 in. (100 cm) and repeat steps 10 to 12. Adjust the gain pot if
necessary to achieve an acceptable compromise between both SID’s.
14. Verify the O.D. at a range of different kV’s.
15. Press << as required to return to the GEN CONFIGURATION menu (membrane console).
Steps 16 to 21 apply only if using two receptor select buttons (one for each SID), using one
previously calibrated film screen and one uncalibrated film screen.
16. Select the wall Bucky image receptor via the selector configured for the 40 in. (100 cm) SID.
17. Repeat steps 1 to 12 at the 40 in. (100 cm) SID position using the appropriate previously
calibrated film screen.
18. Verify the O.D. at a range of different kV’s.
19. Select the wall Bucky image receptor via the selector configured for the 72 in. (180 cm) SID.
20. Calibrate the film screen assigned to this SID as per the table Bucky procedure. The AEC
calibration pot must not be readjusted, as it was calibrated at the 40 in. (100 cm) SID. All
breakpoints, including the 75 kV breakpoint, are to be calibrated by adjusting the calibration
numbers ONLY.
21. Press << and EXIT as required to return to the GEN CONFIGURATION menu (membrane
console).

4.15.7 AEC CALIBRATION (MISC)
The remaining image receptors are calibrated in a similar manner to the table Bucky receptor. Only the gain
pot for the active channel is to be adjusted at the slowest film screen used on the selected receptor. DO
NOT READJUST THE GAIN POT FOR PREVIOUSLY CALIBRATED RECEPTORS, AND DO NOT READJUST THE
CALIBRATION VALUES IN THE AEC CALIBRATION MENU FOR PREVIOUSLY CALIBRATED FILM SCREENS.
THE MEMORY FUNCTION THAT WAS TEMPORARILY CHANGED TO OFF EARLIER IN THIS CHAPTER MAY
NOW BE RESET TO THE DESIRED VALUE.
4.15.8 AEC OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
AEC exposures should normally be kept well under one second. When X-ray techniques are used that result in
longer exposures, the film density will not be correct due to failure of reciprocity of the film.
Care must be exercised when using low kV values with table Buckys because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the range of 60 – 65 kV. This will adversely affect AEC operation.
4.15.8.1 Film/Screen Response vs. kV
Film screen response to kV is not linear. Therefore, compensation must be provided in order to maintain
constant film density as kV is changed for different anatomical studies. By selecting and calibrating various kV
breakpoints, the overall system response will be compensated such as to yield a constant film density.
Up to eight breakpoints per film screen combination are available. The eight breakpoints are spread over three
kV ranges as shown below:

 Low kV: 50, 55, 65 kV.
 Knee kV: 75 kV.
 High kV: 85, 95, 110, 130 kV.

Refer to figure 3D-9.
288
Figure 3D-9: kV vs. relative density
4.15.8.2 AEC Calibration Range
Since the CMP 200® family of X-ray generators allows for up to three separate film screen combinations to be
calibrated, the following points must be considered:
The AEC board allows for a zero to a maximum of 10-volt ramp at the comparator input. All AEC signals must
fit within this range (for all film / screens, densities, and techniques).
Most X-ray film-based applications require the use of two or more different film screen combinations, all of
which will require different exposure doses.
Using the slowest film screen combination, the required film input dose will be determined.
Once this value is determined (during AEC calibration), the density calibration is performed to allow 100%
(double the dose) and 50% (half the dose) values. These are typical values, and will determine the maximum
required range of the AEC reference voltage (the output from the D/A converter).
Figure 3D-10 illustrates the different windows required for various film screen combinations.

* The generator purges the existing X-ray tube auto calibration data before starting the auto
calibration routine and saving new calibration data. Therefore, auto calibration should be
a last resort during general troubleshooting, and should only be done to recalibrate the tube. For
example, if a low mA fault is presented, you should ensure that the generator is fully functional, and
actually needs recalibration. If calibration is attempted on a partially functional generator, the auto
calibration routine may be aborted before any calibration is done, and the generator will inhibit further
exposures until the selected mA is calibrated for the selected kV.
1. For an APR MEMORY ERROR fault, the console factory defaults must be restored or the APR must be restored
via GenWare . The procedure for resetting console factory defaults is described in chapter 6.
4.16.3 MISCELLANEOUS FAULTS
4.16.3.1 Erratic Console Faults
SYMPTOM: In some environments that are “electrically noisy”, the console may exhibit erratic faults i.e. RAM data
error, intermittent loss of communication, or random fault messages may be displayed.
2
SOLUTION: Connect a separate ground wire, #14 AWG (2.3 mm ) or larger from the ground stud on the rear of the
console (marked CONSOLE GROUND in the figure “Rear of control console” in chapter 2) to the ground stud
located beside the main input fuse block. This is marked GROUND CONNECTION in the figure “Generator mains
connection” in chapter 2.
SYMPTOM: In some situations the touchscreen console may appear “frozen”. i.e. cannot activate any of the
buttons on the touch sensitive screen. This may be a case of the touchscreen calibration being significantly out of
alignment.
SOLUTION: Connect a USB keyboard to the rear of the touchscreen and simultaneously press Alt + C. This will
activate the touchscreen calibration sequence. Refer to Chapter 3C for the procedure to complete this sequence.

4.16.4 LED INDICATORS
The following table describes the normal states and functions of the status and diagnostic LEDs on the circuit boards in

4.17 Regular Maintenance
4.17.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a recommended schedule for periodic maintenance of the CMP 200  series and the CMP 200 
DR series of X-ray generators.
The initial installation date and location, and all service performed on the generator, should be recorded in table 6-1.
The record should be as thorough as possible, detailing the scope and type of work that was performed (all
service and a record of all replacement parts that were installed). Additionally, the person performing the work
should date and sign the record.
This information will be invaluable in the future for traceability and to ensure continued compatibility of the generator.
If a major component (such as the HV module or a major circuit board) is replaced, recalibration will be needed. A
separate procedure will be included with the spare in those cases, detailing the required calibration procedure.
WARNING
MAINTENANCE IS TO BE PERFORMED ONLY BY COMPETENT, TRAINED PERSONNEL

WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
EQUIPMENT.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FREQUENCY MAY BE DICTATED BY CERTAIN REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTRY OR STATE IN WHICH THE INSTALLATION IS LOCATED.

326
4.17.4 OIL FILL / LEVEL CHECK
CMP 200  / CMP 200  DR X-ray generators use different styles of HV module, depending on model. Refer to figure
6-1. For the HV module on the right side of figure 6-1, field maintenance is neither necessary nor possible. The
oil is factory-filled to the correct level and the HV module is then sealed. An air-filled “bladder” within the tank will
expand and contract as the oil volume changes with pressure and temperature changes.
FOR THE HV MODULE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF FIGURE 6-1, ENSURE THAT THE VENT TUBE
NOTE
(“VENT” IN FIGURE 6-1) IS NOT BLOCKED.
For the HV module on the left side of figure 6-1, the oil level in the HV module can be checked in the field and the oil
can be topped up if necessary. Refer to the steps below.
The insulating oil level in the HV module does NOT require periodic checking under normal conditions.
However, if there is evidence of possible oil loss, the procedure for checking the correct oil level follows.
1. Loosen the oil fill plug screw on the tank lid.
2. With the screw sufficiently loosened, remove the rubber (neoprene) plug.
3. Use a clean ruler, strip of cardboard, or other equivalent material to determine the oil level, measured always from
the TOP surface of the lid of the HV module.
 Normally the oil level should be between 0.88 - 1.25 inches (22 - 32 mm) from the top of the tank lid.
 If the oil level is between 1.25 - 1.6 inches (32 - 41 mm) from the top of the tank lid, then clean oil should be
added as needed.
 If the oil level is greater than 1.6 inches (41 mm) below the top of the tank lid, please consult the factory.
4. Use only fresh oil, type Shell DIALA AX or equivalent. It is critical that air is not added when topping up the oil. The
following procedure is strongly recommended when adding oil.
 Use a new clean syringe to remove oil from the container. A 60 cc catheter tip syringe is recommended.
Approximately 60 cc of oil is required to raise the oil level by one millimeter.
 Turn the syringe upright and expel any trapped air.
 Place the tip of the syringe through the oil-fill plug and into the oil, ensuring that it is below the surface of the
oil.
 Gently eject the oil from the syringe into the HV module, while making sure that the tip of the syringe remains
below the surface of the oil until all of the oil is emptied from the syringe.
 Repeat the previous steps until the required amount of oil has been added.
327
5. Replace the oil fill plug. Once the plug is installed and the screw is properly seated, tighten the screw 4 turns. This
will secure the oil fill plug. Wipe up any spills. Dispose of soiled absorber in compliance with government
requirements, and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. THE OIL DOES NOT CONTAIN PCBs.

328
4.17.5 CLEANING
 To clean the console surfaces (without disinfecting) use soap and water. This should be applied using a lint-
free cloth as described below.
 If console surfaces need to be disinfected, use Actichlor or equivalent with a Hypochlorite concentration of 3 to
5%.
 Dilute the disinfectant 50/50 with water.
 Spray or dampen a lint-free cloth with the diluted disinfectant. The cloth must be damp only, not wet.
 Gently wipe the console surfaces with the damp cloth.

 Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
 Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents short circuits and
corrosion forming on components.
 Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding disinfection and
explosion protection.
 If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have dissipated before
switching on the equipment again.
 Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray equipment.
 If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched OFF,
allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has subsided, the plastic
sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.

4.17.6.5 Resetting Factory Defaults
Resetting the factory defaults will restore the CPU’s flash memory contents to their factory-default state. This will be
required if a major firmware upgrade is done. Minor firmware upgrades, such as revision upgrades, do not require
resetting of the factory defaults.
The factory defaults should not be reset casually as this will erase all custom programming made to the console or
generator.
Note that there are separate procedures to reset the factory defaults for the console CPU and for the generator CPU.
CONSOLE CPU FACTORY DEFAULTS:
The procedure for loading console defaults is described in chapter 3C of this manual. Refer to LOAD
CONSOLE DEFAULTS. This is described in the section UTILITY MENU, under CONSOLE.
GENERATOR CPU FACTORY DEFAULTS:
1. Switch the generator OFF at the console, and disconnect the mains voltage.
2. Remove the generator cover as described in chapter 2.
3. Locate S3 on the generator control board. Refer to the appropriate figure in chapter 1, in the section
GENERATOR LAYOUT AND MAJOR COMPONENTS.
4. Set S3-1 to the LOAD DEFAULTS (ON) position.
5. Switch ON the generator. After a brief period, the console will pause at the message FACTORY DEFAULTS.
6. Switch OFF the generator. Reset S3-1 back to the NORMAL (OFF) position.
NOTE WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR THE DC BUS TO DISCHARGE BEFORE POWERING UP THE GENERATOR.
7. Reprogram the tube selection to correspond to the connected tube AS PER Tube Selection / Tube Setup IN
CHAPTER 3C OF THIS MANUAL. This information was initialized when the defaults were selected. This must
be done before auto calibration is started, to prevent damage to the X-Ray tube.
8. PERFORM TUBE AUTO CALIBRATION AS PER Tube Calibration IN CHAPTER 3C OF THIS MANUAL. This
must be done to ensure accuracy of the exposure parameters after the generator factory defaults have been
loaded.
335
Note: The tube calibration sequence must be completed in full. If tube calibration is interrupted, the
resulting mA / mAs values will be uncalibrated due to invalid calibration data.
This will initialize all generator data to the factory defaults [tube selection, generator limits (including anode boost
time), receptor setup, I/O configuration, AEC setup, AEC calibration, tube calibration, time & date, error log, statistics
and anode heat units].
IF THE FACTORY DEFAULTS HAVE BEEN SET, CRITICAL PARAMETERS (I.E ANODE BOOST TIME,
NOTE
ETC) MUST BE MANUALLY REPROGRAMMED BEFORE OPERATING THE GENERATOR.

4.17.8 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Generator Control Board

The battery on the generator control board powers the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85 when the generator is
switched off. This contains the real-time clock and the RAM memory that stores the tube heat-unit calculations. If the
battery voltage drops below acceptable limits, the current date and time, along with the tube heat-unit calculations
will be lost when the generator is switched off.
The AEC board will need to be temporarily removed to replace the battery, if the AEC option is fitted. Refer to
4.17.8.0 for the procedure to remove and replace the AEC board.
INSERT THE BATTERY WITH THE CORRECT POLARITY AS PER THE STEPS BELOW. IF THE BATTERY IS INSERTED
INCORRECTLY THE CPU MAY REPORT A LOW BATTERY ERROR MESSAGE. IF THIS OCCURS, REMOVE AND RE-INSERT
THE BATTERY WITH THE CORRECT POLARITY.
IF THE REVERSED POLARITY CONDITION CONTINUES LONG ENOUGH THE BATTERY MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING
LEAKAGE, RUPTURE, FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
DISPOSE OF THE OLD BATTERY ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS.
1. Locate the battery on the generator control board. The battery is contained in a yellow plastic package that
sits on top of the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85, near the middle of the generator control board.
2. Remove the battery by GENTLY prying between the battery and the generator control board. Be very careful
not to damage the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85 that is directly under the battery.
3. Insert the replacement battery into the socket on U85. Orient the replacement battery such that the dot on the
corner of the battery is near the dot on the generator control board.
4. A stamp error message may be observed at initial turn-on after replacing the battery. This is normal at this

components underneath are replaced. The AEC board should only be placed on a static-safe surface.
7. Reverse the above steps to replace the AEC board.
4.17.10 TUBE CONDITIONING / SEASONING
Tube conditioning or “seasoning” is particularly important for new tubes or tubes that have not been used for
several days. This should be performed on each X-ray tube before attempting auto calibration, as an unseasoned
tube may not operate properly at higher kV values without arcing. Refer to the X-ray tube manufacturer’s
instructions, if available, for the tube conditioning or “seasoning” procedure. If the X-ray tube manufacturers
instructions are not available, the following procedure may be used:
4.17.10.1 Tube Conditioning
The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 40 kV, 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV, 80 kV, 100 kV and 120 kV. The tube
normally needs to be seasoned before it can be operated at the higher voltages encountered during auto calibration.
Tube seasoning is started by auto calibrating the kV stations up to and including part of the 70 kV station. The
tube is then seasoned at 70 kV. Progressively higher kV stations are then auto calibrated and seasoned. Finally the
entire kV and mA range is auto calibrated, then the tube is seasoned at the remaining high kV values.
Manually releasing the exposure button during auto calibration of a particular kV station in the following procedure
prevents the generator from attempting operation beyond that kV/mA value.
THE TUBE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED SEASONING PROCEDURE, IF AVAILABLE, MUST

NOTE
ALWAYS BE USED IN PLACE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
X-ray tubes that have not been used for more than 8 hours may suffer thermal shock if operated at high mA and kV
without a warm-up procedure. A cold anode (Molybdenum) is very brittle and when suddenly heated over a
small area may experience thermal cracking of the anode surface, eventually leading to permanent tube damage.
The procedure below is intended for seasoning an X-ray tube prior to attempting tube auto calibration. To
season a tube that does not need to be calibrated, follow steps 2, 4, and 6.
X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear.
340
1. Start the tube auto calibration sequence, and manually terminate the exposure at 70 kV and 250 mA.
2. Season the tube at 70 kV by taking approximately 10 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
3. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 100 kV and 250 mA.
5. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 120 kV and 160 mA.
7. Restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration sequence to complete.
4.17.11 END OF PRODUCT LIFE
The generator’s useful life has been estimated at 10 years from point of sale. This will vary depending on use and
environmental conditions. If the generator has completed its useful service life, local environmental regulations
must be complied with in regard to disposal of possible hazardous materials used in the construction of the
generator.

Units with the dual-speed starter option will be fitted with H.V. auxiliary board 739442-99.
Before installing a replacement H.V. auxiliary board, jumpers must be properly installed on this board in order to
select the Bucky voltage (24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC). After determining the Bucky drive voltage requirement,
connect the appropriate pair of jumpers in accordance with table 8-6 *.
The jumpers that select the Bucky voltage must be set per table 8-6.

* A complete set of jumpers is shipped with each new generator. Three of the jumpers are installed on the
H.V. auxiliary board, and the remaining jumpers are in a bag attached to the lip on the inside of the cable access
slot above the HV module.
If the Bucky or low-speed starter boost voltage needs to be changed on an existing H.V. auxiliary board, use the
existing jumper(s) if they are of the correct length and have the proper connector to fit the tab(s) on the board.
Otherwise, select the shortest wires from the spare jumper set that will connect between the desired tabs on the
board and that have the proper connectors on the jumpers. For spares boards, the jumpers will need to be removed
from the “old” board and reused.
Additionally, JW1 must be set per table 8-8 before installing a replacement H.V. auxiliary board.

NOTE:
2. The AEC board in your generator was selected to be compatible with specific AEC devices. To maintain
full compatibility, the original part number must be ordered as a replacement. Refer to chapter 9, section 9.2.0,
for the part number of the original AEC board that was shipped in the generator for which this manual was
prepared.
3. This applies to the dual-speed starter option only, spares should be stocked accordingly. The part number
shown for the dual-speed starter board is for the board only, without the phase-shift capacitors. For the
complete dual-speed starter subassembly, several part numbers (which are tube-stator dependent) are
used in CMP 200  DR 400 / 480 VAC generators. To determine which dual-speed starter subassembly is in
your generator, note the DUAL-SPEED STARTER SUBASSEMBLY KIT part number. The label on a sticker is
located at the opposite side of the board assembly on the back of the mounting plate. This will be the part
number that must be ordered for spares usage. Examples of part numbers are 901297-XX, 901298-XX,
902066-XX, 906672-XX where XX is a two digit number designating the exact configuration.
