Never perforin work inside the housing


when the capacitor bank is charged or

If there is neither a small red !ight nor text on the display, it indicates
that the voltage supply is missing. Check the mains connection and the
main fuses, see wiring diagram, page 20, K6.

Test the voltage supply to the CPU board and the display board, see
wiring diagram X037E, page 110, and 120.

Check that all connectors on D8, D l and D3 are connected.

- Check that the reset LED on D l does not light, see wiring diagram,

If no "click" is heard, check the voltage supply on D4.

Check the measuring point "LAMPON". If there is no signal, check k5,

PO6 Capacitor formation
(Wiring diagram X037E, page 130)
This program is used only if the unit has been 3ut of operation for a couple
of months or if some capacitors are replaced. . h e capacitors are slowly
charged to 353 V in a controlled sequence. The test program starts with
displaying:
kV rnAs
CAP For = Capacitor formation prograrl
After a short while, starts the program to dispkiy the actual voltage in the
capacitor bank :

CAP 150 = 150 Volt.
Approximately every sixth minute the voltage values is increased. The
charging sequence is increased as follows:
150-250-299-325-337-345-348-351-353 V. At the 353 V level the charging
will continue for another 48 minutes to decrease and stabilize the capaci-
tors internal leakage current. If an error is detected during the formation
program, the program is aborted. When the program is aborted there is a
message beep and a message will be displaysd:

If the formation is successfully finished the display will show:

The kV-values are displayed in the "kV" field. The corresponding filament
values are displayed in the "mAs" field. Pressing the "kV +" button will
display the next higher kV and corresponding filament value and vice
verse with "kV -".
The program starts at 40 kV in the table containing the filament values.
The program shows only the selected number of kV steps (25 or 49 for
MOBILElT Plus and 24 or 47 for MOBILETT Plus E).
The kV is changed in steps by briefly depressing the "kV + or kV -" but-
tons. By keeping the buttons pressed, the kV value will be continuously
stepped up or down.
The generators filament values is self adjusted to produce a kV value with
minized deviation. When the software has optimized a filament value for a
specific kV value is indicated with the letter "A" in the rightmost position on
the mAs display.

exposures. From these exposures the generator calculates and stores the
optimized filament values for each kV value.
After the program is activated the user have to press the exposure button
every time the ready light indicator lights. The program starts from a low kV
value and when the actual value is stable, it increases to the next kV
automatically.

The parallelism adjustment y,,, ;I!.\,
affects both the maximum -9 \

must therefore be made before
any other adjustment of the
arm system.
Remove all arm and link
covers, so that the adjust-
ment rod will be visible, see
fig. 43.
- The adjustment rod must
always be parallel with the
arm. Measure in both ends
of the upper arm according
to fig. 43. Also measure the
arm in deflected position
and in retracted position.
The measures must not deviate
more than 0.6 mm.

Danger of personal injury!


Make sure the visible part of the
thread between the link and the key
grip at the adjustment rod always is
less than 25 mm, see fig. 45. If the
visible part of the adjustment rod is
longer than stated, the single tank
and the arm might fall down.

If any adjustment is needed, the single
tank shall be secured in its uppermost
position with a ceiling support, see fig.

and the adjustment rod can be turned.
Lock the rod with the nuts and

- Lock the brake. It should not be possible to move the unit with normal
hand effort. A slight skip is acceptable when using larger force, larger
than 350 N
Measure the power required for lifting the brake handle to locked
position with a dynamometer. If the power is not between 100 and 120
N an adjustment must be done.
. Loosen the wire locking screws (2) in unloaded position, see fig. 77.
- Stretch the wire and fasten it with the screws when required brake

4.8.2.1 Parallelism

The parallelism adjustment affects both the maximum height and the
balance and must therefore be made before any other adjustment of the
arm system.
- Remove all arm and link covers, so that the adjustment rod will be
visible, see fig. 87.
The adjustment rod must always be parallel with the arm. Measure in
both ends of the upper arm according to fig. 87. Also measure the arm
in deflected position and in retracted position. The measures must not
deviate more than 0.6 mm.

Danger of personal injury!


Make sure th,?visible part of the thread between the link and the key
grip at the ad'ustment rod always is less than 25 mm, see fig. 89. If the
visible part 01 the adjustment rod is longer than stated, the single tank
and the arm rnight fall down.
If any adjustmen' Is needed, the single tank shaN be secured in its upper-
most position wit.? a ceiling support, see fig. 88. After the single tank has
been secured, the two nuts can be loosened and the adjustment rod can
be turned.
Lock the rod with the nuts and repeat the control of Me parallelism until
it is within the limit. 0.6 mm.

that is the case:
Adjust the arm system with the adjustment screw, see fig. 92, until it is
in a good balance in all positions. If the arm drops the screw must be
tiahtened and if it raises the screw must be loosened.
