I. NEED FOR A POLICY


GE Medical systems has a long-standing commitment to provide a professional work environment free

These activities are offensive and are inappropriate in the workplace. Any employee, regardless of

for personnel decision, or which create a hostile, intimidating or offensive environment are specifically
prohibited by GE Medical Systems.

Awareness
S There is a legitimate safety concern for personnel who service, repair, set-up and train on building,
process and laboratory equipment.
S Defeating a locked and tagged piece of equipment is prohibited.
S Personnel authorized to apply or remove locks and tags receive additional training.
S Questions about the locked-out devices should be directed to the person named on the tag" or to the
EHS Team Leader.
S This procedure will be avaliable to all Education Center personnel to enable compliance with OSHA
requirement to train "affected employees" (those who work in an area where ECPL may occur).

Authorized Personnel
S Authorized Personnel" are those who lockout/tagout equipment for the purpose of performing service,
maintenance repair or training on the equipment. At this location, students in laboratories who are learning
to service and repair medical diagnostic imaging equipment are also Authorized Personnel".
S Authorized Personnel" must receive training and periodic re-training at least equivalent to that afforded by
GEMS training module found in the GEMS Field Service EHS Manual & Training CD, which is modeled after
the GE Corporate E.C.P.L. training program. This video training can be self-administered by guests at the
RiversEdge Condominiums.
S GEMS Eduction Center Instructors charged with the responsibility of training GEMS Field Service engineers
and others, will be trained in ECPL using the same Field Service EHS Manual & Training CD. They will
incorporate ECPL practices in class work and laboratory exercises.

Lockout/Tagout
S All energy sources for equipment on which work will be performed and on which injury could occur due to
unexpected energization, startup or release of stored energy shall be deactivated. This includes opening
electrical circuits, closing and bleeding pressurized hydraulics and pneumatics, blocking springs or
counterweights and discharging capacitors (for example).
S The deactivated equipment shall be locked during the service work to prevent unexpected activation.
S Locks will be tagged during deactivation indicating the name of the person who applied the lock and the

2-7 MAGNET SAFETY (Reference Procedure EC-061)

References
S GEMS EHS Field Service Manual, Chapter 5A, Procedure #23.

Definitions
S CRYOGEN:
A substance for producing low temperatures. In general, a cryogen is a material in liquid form that
normally is a gas. In MR, the cryogens are liquid helium and sometimes liquid nitrogen. Presently,
the liquid helium is required to produce the very low temperatures necessary for the
superconducting magnet.
S GAUSS (G)/TESLA (T):
A unit of magnetic field strength. The internationally accepted unit is the tesla: 1 tesla = 10,000
gauss. As a comparison, the earth's magnetic field is approximately 0.5 gauss. MR MAX has a
field strength of 5000 gauss or 0.5 tesla and Signa has a field strength of 15,000 gauss or 1.5 tesla.
The earth's magnetic field is approximately one half gauss to one gauss, depending on location.
S MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) or NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (NMR):
The absorption or emission of electromagnetic energy by nuclei in a static magnetic field, after
excitation by a suitable RF magnetic field. The peak resonance frequency is proportional to the
magnetic field , and is given by the Larmor equation. Only nuclei with a non-zero spin exhibit
NMR.
S MR IMAGING:
Creation of images of objects such as the body by use of the nuclear magnetic resonance
phenomenon. The immediate practical application involves imaging the distribution of hydrogen
nuclei (protons) in the body. The image brightness in a given region is usually dependent jointly on
the spin density and the relaxation times, with their relative importance determined by the particular
imaging technique employed. Image brightness is also affected by motion such as blood flow.
S QUENCH (RUNDOWN):
Condition where a superconductive magnet boils off helium. In this condition, the static magnetic
field is removed. A very loud but brief sound results when the cryogens boil off. Once quenched, it
can take a significant amount of time and material to return to the superconducting state.
S QUENCHING:
Loss of superconductivity of the current carrying coil that may occur unexpectedly in a
superconducting magnet. As the magnet becomes resistive, heat will be released that can result in
rapid evaporation of liquid helium in the cryostat. This may present a hazard if not properly planned
for.
S RADIO FREQUENCY (RF):
Frequency (intermediate between audio and infrared frequencies) used in magnetic resonance
systems to excite nuclei to resonance. The RF used in MR studies is commonly in the megahertz
(MHz) range. The principal effect of RF magnetic fields on the body is power deposition in the form
of heating, mainly at the surface; this is a principal area of concern for safety limits.

Safety Practices
S Magnetic field safety includes removal of all metal objects such as watches, keys, pens, hearing aids,
purses, magnetic credit cards, brief cases, IUD's, ferrous jewelry, etc. Persons with steel pins, steel plates,
artificial limbs, surgical clips, or other metal objects are not allowed in areas exceeding the 5 gauss level.
S Exposure to magnetic fields will be kept at the level consistent with the tasks at hand.
S Handling of cryogens includes wearing of nonabsorbent and insulated clothing along with safety glasses or
face shield. Storage of the containers includes the use of nozzle covers and chains.
S Phantoms must be handled with care using cradles provided. Any leakage must be reported to instructor
and EHS Team Leader and treated as a hazardous material" spill.
S Whenever a quench occurs, the magnet room and control area will be evacuated until the atmosphere is
established safe.
S The 5 gauss level of the magnetic field produced by the magnets will be outlined and readily visible.
S Warning signs indicating the present of magnetic fields in excess of 5 gauss will be prominently displayed.

Unattended MR Systems
S The nature of instruction at the GEMS Education Center allows a student to apply power to an MR system,
perform the tasks, then leave the MR system power on for the next person in line, and so on. Normal
practice in the MR labs allows the systems to be powered up in the standby mode at all times. At GEMS
Education Center, the last person using the equipment must assure that the MR system is in the standby
mode and that no RF is being generated and that all RF loads are in place.
S Lockout/Tagout procedures shall be applied as required.

Documentation
S Each staff member and student at the GEMS Education Center, is required to read this document and is
further asked to sign their name to the form provided, attesting to the fact that they have read and
understand this direction.
S Routine unscheduled audits will be made by GEMS safety/managerial personnel.

2-8 RADIATION SAFETY (Reference Procedure EC-059)

X-ray and CT Areas


S The generation of x-rays at the GEMS Education Center shall be:
- at a technique that will minimize the amount of Kvp, Ma, time, and duration to complete the task at
hand.
- providing the greatest person-to-tube distance
- utilizing the most radiation protection possible consistent with the task at hand
S The instructors at the GEMS Education Center will ensure that x-rays will be directed in the safety way
possible.
S The license granted by the State of Wisconsin allowing the GEMS Education Center to function as a
radiation installation is an INDUSTRIAL LICENSE. This license does not provide for the application of
x-rays to any part of any person. therefore, taking x-rays of any part of a person is ABSOLUTELY
FORBIDDEN.
S When making x-rays, an indication (can be audio or visual, for example, a sign or light) must be present to
warn visitors that x-rays are being made.
S Portable x-ray equipment, such as the AMX, will be operated only in areas designated by the Instructor.
Adequate shielding must be provided.
S During adjustment procedures or demonstrations, it may be necessary to energize an x-ray tube with no
intention of actually making the x-ray. In such cases, you must assume that x-ray will be generated
anyway and therefore attenuate the potential beam by closing the collimator blades when provided on the
equipment. If such attenuating devices are not present, lead aperture caps made of 1/8" lead sheets will
be used to absorb the primary beams.

Use of Sources (Nuclear Area)


S Source Use Rules:
- All sources are to be checked out as needed for test and calibration of the Nuclear Medicine systems.
The checkout procedure includes the GEMS Education Center Radiation Officer -Authorized User -
radioactive sources, staff and students.
- Only check out sources consistent with the tasks at hand.
- Under no circumstances are the sources to be removed from the nuclear lab in the GEMS Education
Center.
- All sources are to be checked in when they are not in use.
- Liquid sources for Nuclear Medicine calibration and testing are not permitted or allowed.
- All sources at GEMS Education Center to be stored in a locked lead safe located in the storage area.
S Checkout/Checkin of sources is required.
S The safe will be opened during working hours only.
S If you are working in the lab after hours, security is your responsibility. You must make special
arrangements with the authorized user to accommodate your needs.
- All sources are to be in their respective pigs. Sources and pigs are numbered and should not be mixed.
- Sources will be transported between pigs in their respective pigs.
- Utilize caution when handling the pigs. They are made of lead and bend easily. If you should damage a
pig, inform your instructor. Under no circumstances should you try to force a source into a distorted pig.
- All pointed rod sources are numbered and stored in marked locations in the safe. Rod sources do not
require shielding for transport or use.

- A checkout log is provided. When checking out a source, you are required to enter your name, source
number and time. When checking in a source (returning a source), you are required to enter the time
the source is being returned (you checked the source out and you are responsible for returning the
source). At the end of the day, the Instructor will confirm all sources are accounted for by physically
opening each pig and confirming that the correct source is present.
- Wash hands with soap and water after handling the lead containers.
S The nuclear instructors at the Institute will ensure that film or TLD badges are worn (at the neck level) by all
Nuclear Field Engineers attending class.
S Unattended Nuclear Medicine Equipment
The nature of instruction at the GEMS Education Center allows a student to apply power to Nuclear
Medicine Equipment, perform their tasks, then leave the Nuclear Medicine Equipment power on for the next
person in line, and so on. It is therefore, impractical to require the person who turns a Nuclear Medicine
Equipment on to also turn it off, as normal practices usually require. At GEMS Education Center, the last
person using the equipment must turn it off. Lockout/Tagout procedures shall be applied as required.
S Sources
The following sources are used during Nuclear Training:
Cobolt 57 (Co57) Disk - 26 mCi max

The following sources are used during PET Training:


Germanium (Ge68) Point - 21.5 mCi max
Badging
The staff and students at GEMS Education Center shall wear radiation badges anytime they are in the labs which will
be monitored at regular intervals. The badge is to be worn at the neck level. A badge must be supplied to any
student who has not brought their personal badge. Anyone person that is pregnant and is working with x-ray or
radiation source may contact the facility Department Radiation Safety Officer (DRSO) about a fetal monitoring
device or other options. The badges monitor Occupations exposure, not Medical exposure. Consequently, the
badge is removed when x-rays prescribed by your doctor are taken.

Shielding
S Lead shielding is provided where needed in the walls of the x-ray rooms at the GEMS Education Center.
In normal use, consistent with the directives contained herein, occupants of rooms adjoining x-ray rooms
are adequately protected from secondary radiation and scatter.
S Protective aprons and gloves are provided in x-ray rooms and will be work during fluoroscopic or image
intensified observations when the operator is not protected by screens or other shielding.
S Some equipment has protective devices built in, such as the longitudinal shield in the RFX table. This
additional protection, and any other such protection devices provided on this equipment, will be utilized
when possible.
S During adjustment procedures or demonstrations, it may be necessary to energize an x-ray tube with no
intention of actually making the x-ray. In such cases, you must assume that x-ray will be generated
anyway and therefore attenuate the potential beam by closing the collimator blades when provided on the
equipment. If such attenuating devices are not present, lead aperture caps made of 1/8" lead sheets will
be used to absorb the primary beams.
Compliance Documentation
S Each staff member and student at the GEMS Education Center is required to read this document and as
further asked to sign their name to the form provided, attesting to the fact that they have read and
understand this direction.
S Routine, unscheduled audits will be made by GEMS safety/managerial personnel. The Radiation Safety
Officer for the GEMS Education Center is Tim Zimmermann at 574-8618.

P ower RAM(s), 12 MHZ clock, clock generators, read & write ports and selects, A to D and D to A
converters, reset switch, LEDS
Refer to Page 4-19
CPU (46-264974G1 Board) (E-4)
Contains DA T A BUS, P0AD0-7; ADDRESS BUSS, ADA8-15 and status bus used as
inputs for critical status ports.
Critical status ports are hard wired signals monitored during prep and exposure; i.e.
rotor interlock, inverter ready, X-RAY ON, etc.
EPROMS (B7-9)
U6 & U36 [U51 & U104] - 46-279160G8 and G9 are current firmware for the
46-232828G1 CPU Board U36 [U104] contains application and diagnostic code and
U6 [U51] contains calibration code.
New firmware: (46-264974G1/G2 Board)*
Reference AMX-4 Diagnostics Manual (Direction 17207)
Zero Power RAM (D-6)
RAM 1 & 2
U107 MK48ZO2 zero power RAM. Uses no external power to maintain memory.
Stores calibration data, DA T A LOG & DA T A BASE
OLD CPU 46-232828G1 - RAM 2 not used
NEW CPU *46-264974G1/G2 RAM 2 is used on version of firmware.
New Firmware: *
RAM 1 - will store cal. data with extra write protection via the service switch and JP1
JP-1 A ; No write protect; the CPU has control when data is written
JP-1 B; Data may only be written in RAM 1 when service switch is in the service
mode
JP-1C ; Data is write protected all the time and cannot be written into
New Firmware: *
RAM 2 - will store auto cal data, data log; this information is updated into RAM on a
real-time basis.
CL OCK (B-4)
Clock is developed from 12MHz crystal oscillator Y36 loc. (B-1)
Clock generator U99 develops clock signals for all subsystems; 1KHz Board. for the
generator , 60Hz for the rotor controller and field light, 2KHz & 16 KHz for the FIL/KVP
Board.
Each output is divide by 2.

R/W - Port selects (C-10) & (E-10)


P ort enables for input ports and output ports.
They enable the CPU to read status signals and cause an appropriate output whether it
is analog or digital. (Analog signals are converted to digital for the CPU to read.)

Reset Switch (C-1)


Used to reset CPU without cycling power.
New CPU boards have the switch accessible from the side so that the metal shield does
not have to be removed.

POWER DOWN RST* (C-1)


or POWER OK from battery charger board. Used to hold off or halt the processor while
unit is being powered down.

Prevents writing into RAM while POWER supply disappears; if not this would
corrupt data in NVRAM.
CPU is constantly writing data into ram during exposure & in standby ;including unit
on-time, drive timer, charge time & amp hours, exposure counter etc.
OLD LVLE might give 100ms delay after key switch is turned off.
This occasionally caused memory corruption.
NEW LVLE will give about 500 ms; plenty of time for CPU to finish any writing if the
power was turned off in the middle of a write cycle. Ref. WF B1

POWER DWN RST HOLDOFF (D-1)


Allows CPU to finish writing to 2nd of 2 bytes if power turned off in the middle of a 2
byte word.
POWER UP DELAY (C-2)
holds off CPU until power supplies come up.

SW DA T A INPUT (F-1)
Input from display controller serial data input to CPU RXD input.

The SW DA T A INPUT would have been used for an anatomical programmer


Serial data option removed on new CPU Board.

DISP DA T A OUT (H-7)


Output is TXD on the CPU, serial out to the Display controller through U241 driver.

This is how the display data gets to the display Board.

SERVICE SWITCH (E-2)


This selects the EPROM on Power up.
One prom contains applications and diagnostics code.
The other contains calibration code.
Switch serves as an IF-THEN-GOTO" to jump to CAL or DIAG. mode.

AEC Control (A-5)
Sent to AEC module, when installed, via J7.
Sends selected KVP information for KVP compensation when AEC is on.
AEC EN from AID module goes false to terminate a phototimed exposure. Actual
MAS is displayed on the 16 character display.
LEDs (C-6)
During power up, the LEDs display the tests as they pass.
Used for troubleshooting if the vacuum fluorescent displays are out.
In the applications mode when the AEC option is used, the LEDs display binary
value of selected KVP.
AEC module uses this for KV compensation.
T AP 1-6 FDBK (D-F,5)
Read port select RDP6. The CPU monitors that correct relays for proper primary
voltage have been selected.
This input port is also used to monitor AEC status (AEC exposure enable and AEC
on).
Input Ports (A-H,1)
These are operator accessible inputs.
All are 24v inputs
They include MAS UP & DOWN, KVP UP & DOWN, drive enable, bumper field light
switch, tube park, etc. (exception is left and right stall).
Switch Debounce (B-7)
Prep and Exposure switch inputs - J8-23 and J8-25
24volt inputs to TTL output and debounced by U111. Ref. WF B-2.
After debounce each signal splits up. One set goes to P. 5-8, (B-2) (U150 Input) to
Develop EXPOSURE START . The other goes to the critical status ports of the CPU.
Critical Status Inputs (C-E,8)
This is run-time status checked continually during prep and exposure.
They include x-ray tube pressure switch, 60Hz inverter ok, rotor interlock, 1KHz
inverter ready, filament shorted detect, x-ray on, prep and expose switches.
SONART & X-RAY ON LAMP (F-11)
24volt drivers to display controller for x-ray on indicators.
Driven by X-RAY ON signal from FILAMENT/KVP Board.
X-RA Y ON signal goes high when actual KVP is 75% of selected KVP.
A problem with the old CPU boards was that noise would get on the X-RAY ON line
and the sonalert and lamp to turn on giving false indication that an exposure was
taken. This was impossible since the safety contactor was not pulled in.

System analog signals are buffered and converted to digital.
Left and Right transducer inputs (A-B,1)
Handle voltages are fed in here.
Handle Check is a 1ms pulse 24ms apart used to take the inputs to 0volts to
check that the handle circuitry is functioning. When this goes to zero, the CPU
knows to look for this.
Other analog inputs are drive fdbk, KVP DMN FDBK, FILAMENT FDBK, LEAKAGE
COMP FDBK, ±15volt supply, +24volt power supply and the +5volt power supply,
+24v & +40v vacuum fluorescent displays.
The power supply monitors are not present on the old version of CPU boards,
except the +5v monitor.
All analog inputs are fed into a 16 channel analog multiplexer U342 (D-6).
Analog lines are enabled one at a time by the A/D CTRL U339, outputs
AMUX0-3. This allows the desired signal to pass to the sample and hold and
finally to the A/D.
The 12 bit A/D (D-8) read enable is controlled by the A/D CTRL chip.
When true, the A/D reads the voltage from AR426, Sample and Hold (D-7); it is then
digitized sent to the data bus.
The 8 most significant bits are used.
The A/D also provides +10v reference voltage for use by external circuits.
The -10 ref. voltage is used for D/A; +10v ref is used to supply the Hall Effect
sensors in the drive handle. TP15 must be clean 10 volts. If not, may have drive
problems.
Digital Signals monitored by the CPU (B-8).
MAS & BAT V AND CHARGING CUR are input to U123 mux.
These are 24volt voltage-to-frequency converted pulses from the charger board
Other inputs to U123 to monitored by the CPU:
TMR0-16KHz clock
TMR1-T imer used by CPU to determine actual exposure time
TMR2-120Hz clock
The inputs are selected to go to the output FDBK OUT, by address lines from the ON
B OARD CONTROL, U127. FDBK OUT goes directly to the CPU T1 input, to the
onboard counters.
POWER DOWN RST HOLDOFF from the ON BOARD CONTROL holds off the reset if
the power is turned off while the CPU is in the middle of a write function.

EXPOSURE CMND CONTROL (A-3) Ref. WF B4
U150 (B-2) monitors PREP SWITCH., AEC EXPOSURE EN, EXPOSURE SWITCH,
PRES SURE SWITCH, BACKUP TMR OKA Y, and STOP EXPOSURE STA TUS.
When all are true, the CPU will issue a START EXPOSURE from GEN CONTROL
1 (A-7)
EXPOSURE START CMND is about a 3ms pulse that stays high until X-RAY ON
becomes valid. Then EXPOSURE START CMND goes away. This starts the primary
SCRs commutating.
EXPOSURE STOP CMND is also about a 3ms pulse that, once the CPU has
determined proper exposure, stays high until X-RAY ON goes away.
GEN CONTROL 1 (A-7)
Output port for 60Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, and 16KHz clock enables.
Clock outputs from board are 24volts.
Phase 1 & Phase 2 signals are 180 degrees out of phase except for the 16kHz clock.
PROGRAMMABLE TIMER (C-6)
Decodes data from CPU into clocks:
TMR0-16KHz output; goes on to Develop 1KHz & 2KHz clocks
TMR1-exposure duration timer used by firmware for fixed time and phototimed
exposures.
TMR2-120Hz- develops 60Hz clock
BACK UP TIMER (E-2 thru E-4) area
X-RA Y ON is clocked through the U148 flip flop at 750Khz, then ANDED with 60Hz
clock. The 60Hz starts the binary counter (E-2) counting until X-RAY ON goes
away .
The binary counter output is compared to a backup time latched in on U88 (F-3) by
an 8 bit magnitude comparator. If input A=input B, then BU TMR OKA Y goes away
and outputs an error.
Noise can get in this circuit and cause an error when no exposure is taken; i.e.
during idle or driving.
Tube spits may cause Error 466 during an exposure followed by Error 437 when
the next exposure is attempted.

DISPLAY CONTROLLER BOARD


The DISPLAY CONTROLLER BOARD receives data from the CPU Board for display

Refer to Pg. 4-53


Commands, ASCII data and special character data are received from the CPU serial
output to the DISPLAY CONTROLLER CPU (U35). Ref. WF A1
This controller can support up to three displays.

INT0 from the DISPLAY CONTROLLER CPU generates XMIT OK* for display status.
XMIT OK* is a toggling signal that synchronizes the display to the data being
transmitted. This eliminates flicker.
DISPLA Y OK is a `watchdog' signal that if for any reason XMIT OK* doesn't toggle the
one-shot, DISPLAY OK will go false signaling a display error, 23.

Refer to Pg. 4-55

DS27 is a 9 character display which displays the KVP/MAS technics (C-6).

The vacuum fluorescent displays require a separate power supply (B-8).


X83 has 2 outputs; 40VDC supply used by the 16 character display and filament supply
F1 & F2 used by all displays.
The 40 v supply is divided down to 33VDC used by the KVP/MAS display and 24VDC
used by the bargraph.
F1 & F2 are the filament supplies for all displays. Ref. WF A2
W aveforms are out of phase. If they were DC, the display brightness would not be
uniform.

The x-ray SONALERT is located on this board


Cannot make the sonalert louder using existing one.
Have seen where U13 can go bad causing certain segments to be lit and letters double
spaced on the 16 character display.

DISPLAY BOARD
DISPLA Y BOARD contains the 16 character (message) display DS-37 (P. 4-59/B-5) and the
Bargraph Display DS-35 (E-10)

CPU sends bargraph data to the DISPLAY CONTROLLER memory which then updates
the bargraph.
When a bargraph change in needed, the CPU will send COMPLETE bargraph data;
unwanted segments are blanked.

BATTERY CHARGER BOARD
BA T TERY CHARGER BOARD consists of a constant current battery charger capable of charging
batteries to 145 volts at a rate of 3 amps.
Refer to Pg. 4-69 & 4-71
When the charger cord is plugged in:
Line sense relays K216 and K196 energize (Pg. 4-69, B-2)
Refer to Pg. 4-71 (D-9)
K196 contacts bring battery voltage to the charger board and the rest of the system
by means of BAT SWT, TP7 .
K216 contacts sends a signal to the CPU telling it that the cord is plugged in and to
go to the charge mode.
If the unit will not charge, chances are the line sense relays are not energized.
Refer to Pg. 4-69
AC power is applied to the full wave bridge and to the phase control SCR.
The average current is controlled by varying the conduction angle of the SCR by
means of an optically coupled triac.
A ramp generator is synced with the zero crossing of the AC line (CR198, B-4);
(U181, B-6); (Q188, B-7).
The zero crossing ramp is compared to the output of the charger current error amp.
When the error voltage at TP4 (D-8) is higher than the ramp voltage at TP5 (C-7),
the SCR is fired. Ref. WF C1 & C2
This varies the average current to the batteries
Ref . Coordinates A-C/9-11: Circuitry here keeps batteries from charging at no more
than 145 volts.
Charge current feedback is accomplished by picking off the charge current through a
2.5 ohm resistor in series with the charger and the batteries.
The voltage drop across the resistor is fed into an isolation circuit 2-F4
Then to gain network operated by CHARGE SCALE SELECT (E-3) J1-12. This
changes gain by a factor of 10.
When low, the charger is in the HIGH charge rate
When high, the charger is in the LOW charge rate
I-CHARGE CMND is a 0 to 10 volt signal from the CPU that is compared to the
actual charge current. The output is the charge current error .
Other functions:
Refer to Pg. 4-71
During power-up, POWER STABLE* & POWER OK (F-1) signals are generated by
power supply monitor U20 (H-3).
This provides a delayed signal to allow the power supplies to stabilize as well as a
fast power down warning for the CPU Board. (renamed POWER DWN RST)
POWER STABLE is also used to hold off the trip breaker signal on power-up and
power-down.
BREAKER TRIP from FILAMENT/KVP Board trips the circuit if KV >15KV above
demand or MA > 150 mA.
NOTE: J4-8 BREAKER TRIP* on Charger Board comes from FILAMENT/KVP Board
as TRIP BRKR*.

Q228 drives the trip coil of the main breaker
When POWER STABLE* is true, then Q210 off. This desensitizes the breaker trip
circuit on power-up until power supply is stable.
POWER STABLE* is not used off the board.
When TRIP BRKR from CPU is false and BREAKER TRIP from FILAMENT/KVP
Board is false, Q228 remains off.
If either trip breaker signals go true, then the breaker will trip.
Battery voltage and charge current are sampled and sent to the CPU Board.
Battery voltage from BAT SW is fed to a voltage sense circuit, (B-5), through a
select FET switch to a Voltage-to-F requency Converter (VFC)
The charge current is sampled through another FET switch and also is sent to the
VFC.
When BAT V & CHARGE CUR SELECT (A-1) is low, the battery voltage line is
selected. When high, the charge current line is selected.
During voltmeter cal, the frequency is read for 5 sec for max accuracy.
VFC output (typical) :
Batt.=120v TP6=7.8KHz
Batt=115.5v TP6=7.407KHZ Ref. WF C3
Batt=114.5v TP6=7.299KHZ

When the charger is plugged in, the LINE VOLT AGE is supplying the BAT SWT voltĆ
age to the rest of the system (LVLE).
The voltmeter is not affected by this because of diode CR81 (D-8).
This would eliminate the system running off of the batteries since the unit might sit
around a while after the CHARGE COMPLETE message appears.
This prevents unnecessary battery drain.
KEY SWITCH ON SEQUENCE
Main breaker on
+BA T T volts through F6 to KEY SWITCH
KEY SWITCH to ON position
sends voltage to Charger Board J4-1 (D-9) through K149 contacts.
K215 energizes bringing battery voltage to the board and out to BAT SWT (D-8).
BA T SW also goes to the power supply monitor to develop POWER OK &
POWER STABLE *
BA T SW voltage feeds the LVLE power supply
K62 energizes closing contacts (3C9) which go to CPU Board. This lets the CPU know
that the key switch is on.
CPU starts power-up sequence.

BA T TERY POWER AND CHARGING - Refer to Pg. 4-75 thru 4-79


SEE PAGE 4-77 FOR CHARGE CYCLE
LINE SENSE is energized when the charger cord is plugged in. Also relay K196 comes in
bringing battery voltage to the system as BAT SWT. BAT SWT supplies, among other
things, the LVLE . When the LVLE supply comes up, the CPU powers up, sees LINE
SENSE and proceeds to the charger mode. K150 comes in from the CPU to bring
power to the charger bridge.
I-CHARGE CMND is output from the CPU to the Charger Board and is summed with the
charger feedback. The output is compared to a ramp generator which is line-synced.
This fires SCR to give average current through the batteries.
I-CHARGE FDBK is developed across a 2.5 ohm resistor behind the ground stud. It is
scaled depending if batteries need high charge or low charge mode. This feedback
goes through a MUX which selects between charge fdbk and battery voltage, then to a
V oltage to Frequency Converter (VFC).
BA T V & CHARGING CUR is sent to the CPU's internal pulse counter T1 input and
converted. The CPU counts these pulses for a fixed time to determine their value.
A new circuit designed into the charger runs the system off the line when plugged in from
the REGULATOR. This supplies BAT SW to the LVLE . Diodes were installed to allow the
voltmeter to read the voltages on the batteries, not the regulator (center of sheet).
KEY SWITCH brings in K62 (KEY SWITCH ON) and K215 (BAT SWT). Note that K215 and
K196 are in parallel; one for charging, one for key switch operation. Also note that when
the charger is plugged in K150 opens and disables the key switch whether it is on or off.
POWER UP DELAY is operated by the BAT SWT signal. It provides a power up delay as
well as a fast power down. PWR STABLE desensitizes the Trip Breaker circuitry while
the power supplies come up.
TRIP BREAKER from the CPU board & BREAKER TRIP* from the FIL/KVP board are low
voltage signals designed to trip the breaker as follows:
CPU - if battery voltage is less than 110 volts in standby.
if charge current feedback is not within 20% of expected value.
if CPU cannot terminate exposure normally
FIL/KVP - if KV is 15 KV above demand
if ma is greater than 150 ma.
When the breaker is to be tripped, 0 volts is given to the trip coil of the circuit breaker.
To troubleshoot breaker tripping symptoms, disconnect wire at J4-5. this will eliminate or
indicate blocks of circuitry as a possible cause. If the breaker still trips, then there is an
actual overload; whether it is a tube spit or inverter latchup. Watching the wire marked #5
to the START/STOP SCR jerk is also a good indication that a high current situation
occurred.
Collimator brake release switches operate K1 located under the CPU board.
This brings battery voltage to the positioning brakes and park latch.

ROTOR CONTROLLER
ROTOR CONTROLLER contains the 60Hz inverter for the rotor and the collimator field light.
The inverter also serves as a power supply for other modules
Refer to Pg. 4-87 thru 4-89
60Hz inverter (1-C1) inputs from the CPU are optically isolated and sent to driver
transistors.
The outputs of the FETs are connected to opposite ends of the inverter transformer.
The center tap is connected to BAT SW through F93 and surge resistors.
BA T SW came from charger Board through K215.
F or inverter waveforms Ref. WF D1, D2, D3.
Soft start is a function of firmware.
This only happens when the 60Hz inverter is turned on for the first time after the unit
has been turned on.
The frequency starts at about 200 Hz and slews down to 60Hz. Ref. WF D3.
Prevents inrush of current.
K121 is a hardware soft-start. It comes in upon 60Hz turn-on to short the resistors
that allow the capacitor to charge up (D-4) after power up and stays in until unit is
turned off or reset.
The 60Hz inverter transformer supplies not only rotor and collimator light but also
commutation capacitors, 27VAC used by the FILAMENT/KVP Board, and develops
60Hz INVERTER OK.
K39 contacts (1-C7) select either the rotor windings or the collimator light
ROTOR SELECT (1-H1) comes from the CPU Board operated by the field light
button.
When ROTOR SELECT false, the collimator light is enabled .
If light is on when rotor button is pressed, K39 energizes routing the voltage to
the rotor windings.
Rotor has priority over the collimator light.
VOL T AGES; J3-2 & 3 measured 105 vac out of transformer.
Rotor windings: BLK to WHT =105 VAC ; GRN to WHT =165 VAC.
Collimator light transformer output is tap selectable.
FMI 10257 instructed to install collimator light lead to TS1-8
Battery @112V TS1-8=22.7 Lamp=21.6
Battery @116V TS1-8=23.5 Lamp=22.4
This will help lengthen bulb life.
Also recommend changing FLD LT ON TIME in calibration mode to be 15-20

27V AC supplies the 60Hz INVERTER OK to the CPU for status check and supplies the
FILAMENT/KVP Board filament circuit.
COM CAP CHARGE is about 83VAC during prep and charges the commutation caps in
the generator for exposure shut off.
SAFETY CONT ENB* relay K37 (H-2) brings in contacts (A-8) for safety contactor.
K37 is operated by the CPU and is enabled by the PREP SWITCH.
The Rotor Interlock is made up of current transformers and circuitry Pg. 4-89 (C-6
thru C-9)
When rotor is called for, current flows through T5 & T6.
The voltage is sensed and trips both op amps in U20. U20 is wired AND circuit. Ref.
WF D4 & D5.
Output is ROTOR INTERLOCK +V. Goes to CPU for monitoring. +24volts when
happy .
Problems with board were corrected with resistor changes (blowing F93).

ROTOR CONTROL - Refer to Pg. 4-93


When the operator presses the prep switch, the CPU enables the 60Hz inverter and rotor
select relays. The CPU starts the clocks which are isolated from the drivers. FETs are clocked on
and off alternately in the primaries of the 60Hz transformer supplied by battery voltage. The
secondary supplies the rotor, filament supply, and the commutation capacitor.
The only difference between the collimator light and the rotor is K39. When the collimator
button is pushed, the ROTOR SELECT* signal is NOT selected, therefore, voltage is sent through
the normally closed contacts to K39 to the collimator light transformer (not shown in diagnostic
block diagrams).
60Hz INV OK is used during 60Hz turn on for the collimator lamp. Both ROTOR INTLK and
60Hz INV OK are looked at for rotor sequence by the CPU. ROTOR INTLK is developed from 2
current sense transformer in series with the GRN and BLK wires.
COM CAP CHARGE signal goes to a bridge rectifier in the HV module which will charge up
the commutation capacitor. Note that the commutation cap gets charged in both modes; when
collimator light is lit and during rotor.

FILAMENT/KVP BOARD
FILAMENT/KVP BOARD controls the filaments with pulse width modulation and regulates KVP by
varying the filament current.
Refer to Pg. 4-103
The CPU sets up the FILAMENT DAMAND DAC for the selected technic as established
during calibration.
This is summed with the actual filament current (C-4) which makes up the `inner
loop'.
When and exposure is made, the KV DMND and KVP FDBK modify the
filament/tube current depending on the KV error. This makes up the `outer loop'.
In other words, this changes the loading on the tube to increase/decrease the
KVP .
Both KVP DMN and KVP FDBK and FILAMENT DMN are summed into a sine wave
type waveform which is summed with a 16KHz sawtooth which, depending on the
level of the desired filament current, determines output pulsewidth.
P ulse width drive is clocked through RS flip flop and sent to driver transistors.
The 27VAC supply from the 60Hz Board. supplies the voltage to the filament
inverter .
PREHEA T (C-6) signal drives PWM to maximum duty cycle (50%) to boost the filament
to temperature during prep. Ref WF F5.
PREHEA T also desensitizes current limit circuitry.
Comparator AR 79 looks at actual filament current compared to a reference level. If
filament current gets too high, AR79 will trip disabling PWM DRIVE (C-7).
KVP FDBK is compared to KVP DMN to detect 75% level to activate X-RAY ON. Ref
WF F3.
X-Ray ON starts the backup timer on the CPU Board.
During calibration the 75% detector was changed to 33% with a jumper installed on
TP 14 to TP 15. (F-3).
2 KHZ PHASE 1 & 2 (D-9) square wave from CPU Board is sent through driver
transistors and to filament inverter transformer.
The center tap of the transformer is the 16kHz pulse width modulated signal
developed by the filament demand circuit.
FILAMENT current is sensed across R188 @TP 13 (F-9) at .1 volt per amp for
feedback to CPU Board. Ref. WF F7, F8, F9.
Tube spits will take out diodes CR 281 & CR283 (D,E-10). Symptom might be
insufficient filament drive Error 45F.

MAS is measured by MA+ & MA- input to bridge and sent to a VFC to be converted to
pulses. (C-8)
The CPU terminates the exposure by counting pulses for operator-selected MAS.
Ref WF F11.
Inputs to CPU internal counter.
MA does not have to be exactly 100MA. The CPU is looking for MAS only.
New boards have pot to compensate for different manufactures of VFC.
100.0MA= 16 KHZ. Do not adjust in the field.
MA & KVP are monitored by comparators AR153 & AR 244.
If the tube current is over 150 ma AR153 will trip causing TRIP BREAKER* to go true.
If the KVP FDBK is 15 KVP higher than KVP DMN, then AR244 will trip causing TRIP
BREAKER* to go true, tripping the main breaker.
The FILAMENT SHORTED signal (F-10) monitors conduction of the filament. Ref WF
F10.
2KHz Phase 1 is one input from the CPU. PWM RTN 2 is actual filament conduction.
When rotor is first prepped, 2KHz PH 1 is there instantly, which will trigger
FILAMENT SHORTED true.
When the filaments are first turned on, they are very low resistance; almost a
short.
As the filament heats, resistance and voltage increase across it since current
though the filament is constant.
V oltage at PWM RTN 2 slowly increase to about 8 volts which will trip FILAMENT
SHORTED false.
V oltage at PWM RTN 2 is actually voltage from the other side of the inverter
transformer while Q184 is off Ref. to Pg. 4-103 (E-10).
The FILAMENT SHORTED signal is monitored by the CPU for timing.
If FILAMENT SHORTED signal never comes up, the PWM RTN 2 pulses come
up immediately meaning the filament inverter is not conducting. Error 45E.
If the FILAMENT SHORTED signal comes up and stays up, PWM RTN 2 never
came up, this means that there is no voltage across the filaments which means a
possible short. Error 45F.
If FILAMENT SHORTED is high when prep switch is first pressed, then ERROR
45D occurs. This means that the associated circuitry is faulty.
LEAK AGE COMP (D-2) from CPU Board is a fixed correction for transformer
leakage used to modify MAS.
F actor can be changed in DA T A BASE ACCESS.

FILAMENT AND MAS CONTROL REFER TO PG. 4-109 (following page)


Read Bullets in Controller block.
Describe outputs of the Controller board; D to A, clocks, etc.
Filament/kVp block; note that on prep. FIL DMN drives the filament through a modulator.
Preheat signal forces the modulator into 50% duty cycle which provides a `boost' to get
the filament upto temperature. During the exposure kVp demand and KV FDBK are
then allowed to modify the filament current to deliver an accurate operator selected kVp
by changing the loading on the tube.
2kHz clocks drive the filament inverter (the 2 FETs). This frequency and pulsewidth do not
change.
FIL FDBK is sensed across a 0.1 ohm resistor (R188) at 0.1 volt per amp.
FIL SHORTED is a status signal used to indicate conduction of the filament. When the
filament is first turned on, it is cold and appears to be shorted. As the filament warms
up, the resistance increases and no longer appears as a short.

KV FDBK is actually primary votlage feedback, not secondary feedback. Primary votlage
is sent to a stepdown transformer, rectified and sent out as KV FDBK; it is not DC
filtered.
MA+ & MA- are sampled from the transformer, rectified, and summed with LEAKAGE
COMP . LEAKAGE COMP voltage respresents HV transformer leakage and is
subtracted from the MA from the transformer. The MA from the transformer is actually
tube current PLUS leakage. Leakage is subtracted to give true tube current. This is
then sent to a voltage to frequency converter and is sent out as pulses to the internal
counter T1 in the CPU.

One kHz Inverter Concise Theory of Operation

The 1 kHz inverter is a push-pull self commutated design employing SCRs as switches. Self commutating means
that one SCR must be turned on in order to shut the other SCR off. The inverter is stopped and started by Q3 which
houses two SCRs.

Sequence of Events

1. C12 is charged to -70v during prep.

2. Clocks applied to Q1, Q2 (clocks have dead time as dictated by driver circuitry).

3. Start SCR fired.

4. Assume Q1 is clocked on, when Q3 start SCR is triggered.

5. V oltage at Q1 anode goes low, current ramps up thru battery, thru upper half of T1, thru Q1 SCR thru L1, thru Q3
start SCR back to battery.

6. V oltage across C5 is 2 times battery voltage (220v).

7. Q1 drives goes low, device continues to conduct (fundamental SCR).

8. Q2 fired.

9. V oltage at Q2 anode goes low Q1 anode goes to -60 (due to C5).

10. Due to L1, voltage spikes positive at Q1, Q2 cathode.

11. Current ramps up thru bottom half of T1 thru Q2.

12. Current decreases thru Q1 and top half of T1.

13. Circulating current also flows thru aux winding thru Q2 diode thru SCR thru L1 and back to aux.

14. Cycle repeats starting at step 4.

15. To stop inverter, stop SCR is pulsed on.

16. Due to C12, voltage at anode of start SCR goes negative shutting it off.

17. Current ramps down by charging up C10.

18. Stop SCR turns off due to minimal current thru it.

1 kHz BOARD
1KHz BOARD has the 1KHz inverter gate supply for the auto transformer inverter SCRs,
EXPOSURE START & STOP signals for main SCRs, tap select logic, KVP feedback, and stop cap
status.
Refer to Page 4-120 thru Page 4-123
Inverter receives 1KHz PHASE 1 & 2 from CPU. Ref. WF E1 & E5.
Ph. 1& 2 drive FETs through center tapped transformer.
Center tap is connected to 24volts.
Outputs G1 & G2 are sent via twisted pair to inverter SCRs Q1 & Q2 power blocks
which provide AC primary volts for auto transformer.
1KHz PHASE 1 & 2 are there when prep is pressed.
EXPOSURE START CMND from CPU is about a 3ms pulse which is sent through a
pulse transformer for the exposure start SCR, Q3. Ref. WF E2.
EXPOSURE STOP also from CPU works the same.
KV FDBK is sampled from high voltage primaries through an isolation transformer.
KV FDBK is used by the FILAMENT/KVP Board. to regulate mA. Ref. WF E3 & E4.
STOP CAP voltage is checked on this board - Page 4-121 (D-7) Ref. WF E6
STOP CAP voltage must be at least -69 volts.
Have measured 77vDC.
Stop cap volts develop 1kHz READY and is checked once during prep.
If stop caps are not charged, do not allow an exposure.

T AP SELECTS 1-6 are active low from CPU Board.


Selection of relays for the technic selected by the operator were established during
calibration.
Active low signals drive opto-iso;
First opto-iso drives transistors which, when conducting, brings in relay coil
The relay current conducts through the 2nd opto-iso which is the feedback to
the CPU.
The feedback only detects if current is flowing through the coil, NOT if the relay
physically came in (contact closure).
During prep, all relays come in 2 times to `wipe' the contacts, then select
appropriate tap, then bring in safety contactor.

DRIVE CONTROLLER
DRIVE CONTROLLER used in conjunction with the DRIVE POWER AMP deliver up to 1KW of
power to the motors. Circuitry between right and left drives is identical. Left Drive will be
discussed.
Refer to Page 4-143
The CPU Board reads the inputs from the Hall Effect sensors from the handle. Voltage
depends on how hard the handle is pushed.
Then the CPU outputs LEFT/RIGHT DRIVE CMND to DRIVE CONTROLLER (F-1)
LEF T DRV CMND enters board at (F-1). Command is+10v full forward; 0 v
stopped; and -10 v full reverse.
DRV CMND is summed in AR154 (F-6) with drive FDBK. The error then goes
through an invert/non-invert amp, depending on direction of command.
The `absolute value' error output is connected to a voltage clamp CR197 (F-8) .
The error voltage is sent to AR260 (C-7) 555 timer used as a voltage to pulse
width converter. As the command increases, the error increase, the pulse width
increases.
Direction is determined by the polarity at TP5 (D-6)
If TP5 is + then TP15 =1 for reverse direction .
U283 flip flop has 2 outputs;Q (CCW) enables U282 to pass pulses from AR 260;
Q* (CW) output disables other U262 and blocks pulses from AR260.
U283 outputs also drive FET switches to invert/non-invert amps & FET
switches at (D-2) which maintain the polarity of the motor feedback regardless
of direction the motors are turning.
Output of U280 has only 2 outputs pulsing at a time and are 180 out of phase .
These pulses are sent to the DRIVE POWER AMP.
Stall circuitry is provided to detect when the current through the motors is too high. (A-7)
A stall is also caused by overheated motors.
When a stall occurs, U283 trips and sends a signal to the CPU.
The stall is reset when the handle is released. Can't see the stall LEDS.
Refer to Page 4-151
DRIVE ENA SWITCH (C-1) and POWER OK develop +5V-DRV (C-5) which goes to the
DRIVE POWER AMP.
MOTOR ENA (D-1) from CPU develops BRAKE RELEASE, RIGHT & LEFT MOTOR
ENA .
They go to the DRIVE POWER AMP drivers that pull in the brake release and motor
relays.
Inputs from both bumper switches develop BUMPER* to the CPU board.
This signals the CPU that there is an obstruction and disables MOTOR ENA and causes
the software to output a display REVERSE ONLY, enable MOTOR ENA, then to ignore
any forward direction handle commands until the obstruction is cleared.
FULL SPD ENA (H-1) from the CPU Board brings in a resistor which changes the gain of
the op amp which lowers the voltage at TP11.
This lower voltage causes voltage clamp diode CR197 to become forward biased if the
voltage at TP12 (F-7) goes higher than the +PW LMT.
This imposes a new limit on the max voltage the error amp can put out, therefore
limiting max speed.
FULL SPD ENA is operated by the TUBE PARK SWITCH through the CPU.

DRIVE POWER AMP


DRIVE POWER AMP delivers pulsed voltage from batteries to the motors through a
transistor bridge circuit. Left" will be discussed.
Refer to Page 4-147
+5V-DRV from the DRIVE CONTROLLER supplies voltage for the input to the
opto-isolator (C-3).
Motor is powered by varying pulse width or duty cycle and polarity, giving variable speed
and direction.
Turning the unit is accomplished by pulling one end of the handle back and pushing the
other end forward.
Right and left drives are identical and completely independent from each other.
One wheel will drive in reverse; the other forward, allowing the unit to turn on a dime.
DRIVE EXAMPLE Ref WF I1 through I4.
IDLE-Drive switch not activated; +5V-DRV is absent. BOT CW & CCW are high to
turn on Q165 & Q5 (This keeps noise away from motors by shorting it out.)
DRIVE MODE
When handle is picked up, +5V-DRV becomes active supplying 5 volts to the high
side of the opto isolators U96 and U65.
P ulses are supplied to TOP CCW; pulse width is determined by the operator
pushing or pulling on the handle for desired speed.
In this case, we are in reverse.
TOP CCW is active low, which causes U96 output to go high, Q94 to turn on, Q93
to turn off, and Q90 to turn on.
This supplies the +battery volts to the motor.
B OT CCW is active low (does not pulse) turns off Q15, turns on Q12, turns Q14 off,
turns Q5 on.
B OT CCW stays active low and does not pulse so long as the unit is traveling in
the same direction.
This supplies ground to the other side of the motor.
At the same time TOP CCW is true (Q98 is on), BOT CW is normally high but pulsed
low (Q165 turns off).
When Q98 is off, Q165 is on, providing ground to both sides of the motor.,
This is used for dynamic braking and better response in case of a direction
change.
The timer circuit at (F-3) and the transformers are a supply for the TOP circuits of the
drive amp since the reference used in NOT ground.
The secondary of the transformer has a diode and filter cap to supply DC voltage to
those circuits.
LEF T V+ comes from the drive relays in bottom of the drive module (BAT T V)
MOTOR ENB comes from the DRIVE CONTROLLER and brings in the drive relays.
BRAKE RELEASE operates relay K145 (E-F, 7-8) which energizes the brakes on
the back of the drive motors to release. (BRAKE RELEASE 1 & 2, 120V.)
K145 also brings power to the timer circuit (F-2) and the transistor/
transformer circuit (F-3).

LEF T DRIVE - Refer to Page 4-155


Note: The left and right side are identical therefore only cover the left drive.
TUBE PARKED SW-(S1 is normally open switch shown incorrectly in the blocks).
This signal tell the CPU if the tube is parked or not through the CHGR & DRV
ST A TUS input port. This operates FULL SPD ENA sent to the drive module.
FULL SPD ENA from the CPU operates a voltage clamp on the Drive Controller board.
Therefore the maximum speed is hardware limited.
DRIVE ENA SW developed from S4 & S5 `deadman' switches. Both switches must work before
the drive is enabled. This signal goes to the CPU board and splits up-one to an input port;
the other, off the board to the drive module to supply +24 volts to the + side of the drive
relay , K1. DRIVE ENA SW to the CPU input port tells the CPU to read the Hall Effect Sensors
and output MOTOR ENA & DRIVE RESET. MOTOR ENA develops 0 volt path to the drive
relay LEFT MOTOR ENA and also develops BRAKE RELEASE.
LF T MAN TDS OUT is the output of the left Hall Effect Sensor. This output is sent to the CPU's 16
channel analog MUX and converted to digital. The CPU then outputs +10v to 0v to -10v
signal to the Drive Controller. The polarity determines direction of the motors.
LEF T DRV CMND on the Drive Control board is summed with the drive feedback to give an error,
then is voltage clamped (for maximum speed control). The voltage is then converted to a
pulsewidth and sent to drivers. Polarity of the error is sensed which is a function of desired
direction (pushing forward or backward on the drive handle) then converted to an absolute
value so that there is always a positive voltage going to the voltage-to-frequency
converter . Depending on the desired direction CW or CCw, different drivers are enabled
which eventually provides reversible current flow through the motors.
LEF T TOP CW*, LEFT BOT CW*, LEFT TOP CW*, LEFT BOT CCW* are sent to the Drive Amp
where the pulses are amplified through opto-isolators and power FETs.
LEF T IM is the feedback signal from the motor drives. The analog MUX is there to maintain a
relationship with the DRV CMND so that they are always opposite since the motor
feedback is always positive. This is done by a direction detect or a invert/non-invert amp.
LEF T DRV FDBK is also sent to the CPU for monitoring.
The BUMPER switches are normally closed and go to the Drive Controller board.
BUMPER* is developed and sent to the CPU board. When the bumper switches open, the
CPU turns off MOTOR ENA to stop the motors. It also prompts the CPU to ignore any
forward commands from the drive handle until the obstruction is cleared.
BRAKE RELEASE is from the white pushbutton under the drive handle is wired ORed with the
BRAKE RELEASE 1 on the Drive Power Amp. The white pushbutton is connected directly
to the battery in case the unit will not stay on to drive out of the way.
CAUTION - When working around this module, there will be battery voltage present if the white
pushbutton is pushed.

Battery Safety
Helpful hints when working around batteries:

• All tools should be taped to prevent accidental shorts

• Wear Safety Glasses with side shields

• Wear long sleeves---sweaty arms can get you shocked

• Wear a hat---protect hair from possible hot flying metal

• Button all buttons and wear long sleeves to protect arms

• Remove all jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, anything metallic

• Do not depend on either silk or nylon as these materials melt and offer no protection

• Wrap all jewelry that can not be removed

• If anything out of the ordinary happens or you have any questions ask a doctor

• Don't hurry---Haste makes sparks

Determining a Bad Battery Set


The only reliable method for determining whether a battery set is bad is to monitor the battery voltage under load at a
lower state-of-charge. The procedure follows.

1. Bring the open circuit battery voltage on the set below 113.00 v. unloaded. Drive the unit, use a lamp (or some
other type) load, etc.

2. Monitor the battery voltage from the circuit breaker to the ground stud with a storage scope. Use 5 or 10 v./div.
and 5 ms /div (2 ms /div on the 2230 to eliminate aliasing) with negative edge trigger.

3. Take a 125 kVp 4 mAs exposure, getting the scope to trigger (use sample mode) on the falling edge of the
battery voltage (I used the anode of the kVp waveform on channel 1 for a trigger.)

4. A alternate technique: Instead of 125 KVP @ 4 mAs - 80 KVP @ 4 mAs can be used - look for an average drop
of less than 13 volts.

5. Note the average drop from the unloaded voltage to the voltage under load. See figure below.

If the average drop is greater than 17 volts the batteries as a set are bad (unless your scope isn't properly calibrated).
At this point you know whether or not the battery set is bad. You won't know how many of the batteries in the set are
actually bad without further testing. If the set is bad and it is fairly new (<2 months old) you may have a single bad
battery. The following test can be used to isolate the problem to an individual battery.

Isolating the problem to an individual battery


1. Take the batteries out of the unit, reassemble them next to the unit and connect them to the AMX 4 + and -
power leads. WATCH THE POLARITY!! USE EXTREME CAUTION MAKING SURE THAT YOU DON'T SHORT A
BATTERY

2. Record the unloaded voltage of each battery.

3. Record the voltage of each battery after 10 seconds under the prep load.

4. If the drop (unloaded voltage minus loaded voltage) on any battery is greater than the drops on any of the other
batteries by more than 0.2 volts, chances are that this is your bad battery.

5. Confidence in this decision can be increased by monitoring the voltage drop on this battery during an exposure
and comparing it to the drop of the other batteries. If you prefer, you can skip steps 3&4 above and record the
voltage drop during an exposure (read off scope) for each battery. A single bad battery should stand out as
having a much greater voltage drop.

6. If you are absolutely sure you have one or two bad batteries, you can replace only the bad batteries. MAKE
SURE THE NEW BATTERIES ARE AT A HIGHER STATE-OF-CHARGE (higher open circuit voltage) THAN
THE OTHER BATTERIES IN THE PACK BEFORE CHARGING.

7. IF YOU CAN NOT CONFIDENTLY ISOLATE THE PROBLEM TO A SINGLE BATTERY, REPLACE THE ENTIRE
SET.

Oscilloscope Sampling Methods

There are two methods of sampling kVp with the Tektronix 2230. The `Peak Detect' and the `Sample' modes (the
Sample mode is used in the 468). The difference is basically this: the `Sample' mode displays a voltage point that was
randomly sampled during the time allotted (e.g., with 1023 sample points at 5 ms/div. yields 4.8875855 ms per
sample). The `Peak' mode displays the the maximum signal that occurred during the sample time. This yields a
completely different display. Aliasing occurs in both modes; however, the `Sample' mode becomes almost unusable.
Attached are some AMX-4 kVp waveforms acquired in both modes for comparison. For more information see
Tektronix Literature No. 46W-605 1, An Introduction to Digital Storage."
