Turn the commutator S2 on the control card so as to illuminate the LED «CONFIGURA-
TION.
At the end of modifying the configuration parameters, do not forget to reset the commutator
on «NORMAL» position, so as to be able to use the generator.
The generator starts in the mode which allows you to define the installation.
The display unit normally used to adjust the graphy kV becomes the EEPROM configura-
tion parameter number display. The display unit normally used to adjust the graphy current
becomes the parameter value display. The adjustment keys corresponding to these display
units allow a selection of the parameter to be modified and the adjustment of the value of
the selected parameter. The validation / invalidation key of the automatic graphy mode
permits the modified parameter to be stored in the memory. The corresponding blinking
LED reminds the user that he must store on memory the value that has been modified.
Forgetting to press this key will not affect the contents of the configuration EEPROM.
The configuration EEPROM contains 256 bytes of which only 196 are accessable to the
user.
Note: It is the operator’s responsibility to correctly program the configuration memory. A
faulty functioning could be the result of a faulty programming of the configuration memory.

3 Parameter description
PARAMETER 0: MAXIMUM POSSIBLE POWER OF THE POWER SUPPLY
Minimum value: 1
Maximum value: 80
Parameter unit: kW
Parameter signification: Maximum possible power of the power supply.
Explication: This parameter is used by the calculator on one part for calculating the inter-
dictions to determine if the power requested by the operator for an exposure exceeds the
power supply’s capacity; in order to avoid its deterioration. On the other part this parameter
displays the highest values possible of the high-voltage current in the case where an
80kW power supply is used.
You can enter any value between 1kW and 80kW. But the typical values are: 40 for a
50kW generator not equiped with a primary transformer, 50 for a power supply equiped
with a primary transformer, and 80 for a power supply of 80kW.
Note: The calculator uses a binary calculus arithmetic exempt from decimal numbers; it
is possible you will notice a small error of calculus due to a rounding-off in the intermediary
calculus of interdiction. In any case, the error by the calculator will not affect the function
security of the generator.

Minimum value: 0
Maximum value: 3
Parameter signification: Automatic exposure number used for post 6.
Explication: When using the automatic exposure controller, it is necessary to to define for
each post, the number of the chamber corresponding to that post.
When you use a remote control automatic exposure controller, the transfer of the chamber
number is done transparantly.
It is possible to chose one chamber out of three.
If you enter 0 as the value of this parameter, you inhibit the function of the automatic
exposure controller for post 6.
If you enter 1 as the value for this parameter, you associate chamber 1 to post 1.
If you enter 2 as the value for this parameter, you associate chamber 2 to post 1.
If you enter 3 as the value for this parameter, you associate chamber 3 to post 1.

•The mangament program will inhibit the internal rotor power supply commands.
•You must command your rotor power supply with the help of the relay contacts of
the interface board.
•You must signal the interface board that the nominal rotation speed is reached by
validating the anode authorization input signal.
To command your rotor power supply, you must use the post contacts associated with
the tube and the relay contacts of the first graphy time.
If you enter 0 for the value of this parameter, the generator’s internal rotor power supply is
used.
If you enter 1 for the value of this parameter, you indicate that tube 1 is equiped with an
external rotor power supply, and you must validate the anode authorization input of the
interface board.

The listing of these emission characteristics consists of finding the heating current value
supplied to each tube focus to obtain a high-voltage current at a certain high-voltage va-
lue.
The automatic listing program for the emission characteristics effectuates short exposures
of about 20 ms to 30 ms measuring the high-voltage current and then automatically sto-
res the results in the EEPROM memory.
The automatic system begins by displaying certain specific addresses from EEPROM:
•Address 34 permits a measure of the group of emission characteristics at 40 Kv
•Address 48 permits a measure of the group of emission characteristics at 80 Kv.
•Address 62 permits a measure of the group of emission characteristics at 120 Kv.
When you display an address permiting a listing of the emission characteristics, the display
unit normally used for the scopy kV, displays the kV value where it affects the measurement.
Note that if you interrupt the measuring phases during a group of tests, you must start the
phase again from the beginning. It is impossible to begin a group of tests in the middle.
When the program obtains an emission characteristic that it is seeking, it stores it on
memory. The operator is informed by a buzzer signal, and the program passes to the
following address. If the address that follows is the beginning of another phase of tests,
the system stops so you can mark a pause.
To start a group of measurements you must press the graphy second time. The graphy
first time is not taken into account, as it is automatically created by the measurement
managing program.
During an exposure, the program displays the value of the high-voltage current
measurement. The heat is raised each time up to approximately a maximum value of 5.5
ampéres. If the listing becomes impossible due to a limitation of the load characteristics
or if the maximum heating current is attained without having obtained the necessary high-
voltage current, the program sounds a buzzer and stores a special value in EEPROM
indicating the impossibility of the measurement.

Chapter 2 / Technical manuel
After the completion of the measurement phase, it is advisable to verify the emission
characteristics measured by going back to the normal function of the generator and trying
several radiography exposures in several groups of constants which cover the range of
the generator and tube’s possibilities; for example:
40 kV 10 mA 0.050 second
40 kV 20 mA 0.050 second
40 kV 50 mA 0.050 second
40 kV 100 mA 0.050 second
40 kV 150 mA 0.050 second
80 kV 50 mA 0.050 second
80 kV 100 mA 0.050 second
80 kV 150 mA 0.050 second
120 kV 50 mA 0.050 second
120 kV 100 mA 0.050 second
120kV 150 mA 0.050 second
40 kV 600 mA 0.050 second
etc...
If you notice that certain values do not give the expected results, it would be necessary
either to re-do the corresponding group of tests, or manually correct the heating current
value. While certainly not indispensible, an oscilloscope can be connected on the test
point of the tank’s high voltage current measurement for verification.
