COLLIMATOR MOUNTING INFORMATION
In order to ensure a safe and secure mounting of this collimator to the x-ray tube housing, the
following installation guidelines must be followed:
1. Two different length screws are provided in the cloth bag containing the spacers.
Determine the correct length of screw to use, taking into account the collimator
spacing requirements and/or peculiarities of the tube housing port boss.
2. Clean the screws and housing port boss with alcohol and, if necessary, remove any
debris which may be present in the tube housing mounting holes.
3. Securely fasten the upper mounting ring and spacers to the mounting surface
located on the tube housing port. As a precaution, a medium strength thread locking
compound such as Loctite #242, should be applied to the screws before fastening
the collimator mounting ring to the tube housing. The screws provided have a Nylok
patch, as vibration resistant mounting screws are strongly recommended.
Verify that the collimator mounting screws engage the housing by at least five (5)
threads when used with the any required collimator spacer plate(s).
4. In order to fasten the Collimator to the Tube Housing, it is necessary that the four (4)
collimator detent ball plungers (located on the top of the collimator) are aligned with
the detent holes located on the collimator tube mounting plate (i.e. collimator is
mounted in either the 0, -90, or +90 degree swivel position).
NOTE: It is much easier to mount the collimator when the tube is inverted (upside-
down) or if the collimator is placed on the table top and the tube is lowered onto it.
5. Carefully support the collimator in place and attach the clamping ring. The hinge of
the clamping ring must line up with the pin in the lower mounting ring. Securely
fasten the #6-32 socket head cap screw locking the collar halves in place. Use only
the provided Collar Locking Screw (26-00752), do not replace with other
hardware. In addition install two (2) Collar Locks (70-10038), which provides a
fail-safe for the Collar/Screw Assembly.
6. After mounting the collimator and/or performing any service to it or the tube housing,
inspect the fit of the collimator and the tube housing. Grasp and attempt to move
the collimator and then the tube housing assembly while inspecting for loose joints
or gaps between the tube/collimator assembly, as well as other tube mounting
areas. If a problem is found, consult factory personnel.
7. It is strongly recommended that a periodic inspection (at least every 12 months)
should be made to ensure mounting integrity.
WARNING
Failure to adhere to the above guidelines may result in loosening, damaged screws or mount
failure which could result in heavy components falling during use. Incidents of loose system
components should be reported immediately to x-ray service personnel for repair.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information for the assembly, installation, adjustment, testing and
maintenance of the LINEAR IV radiographic/fluoroscopic collimator manufactured by
Progeny, Inc.
1.1 YOU HAVE LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
The manufacturers of beam limiting devices are required to provide instructions for the
assembly, installation, adjustment and testing adequate to assure compliance with
applicable provisions of DHHS Performance Standards 21 CFR Sub-Chapter J, Part
1020.
Those who assemble or service beam limiting devices must follow the instructions of the
original manufacturer and process the FD-2579 Assemblers Report where applicable.
You assume responsibility for compliance of this product if you fail to follow the original
manufacturer’s instructions or modify any component which affects radiation safety.
The FDA (BRH) requires that manufacturers must include a specific requirement that
the assembler perform all applicable tests at the time of installation. A thorough
explanation of the equipment required and step-by-step instructions must be provided
by the manufacturer. The instructions include a requirement to record key data to
demonstrate at a later time that all tests were performed and that the equipment was left
in full compliance with the standards.
As an assembler, you must perform these tests for the applicable requirements at the
time of installation and following any repairs which could alter the performance.
A Compliance Data Log is provided in this manual to record the results of the tests.
1.2 BACKGROUND
An X-ray collimator functions as an apparatus for regulating the cross-sectional size and
shape of a beam of radiation which emerges from an X-ray tube.
The source of radiation is virtually a point-source and, due to the tube housing design,
emerges from the port as a solid diverging cone of radiation. The finite angle of the
anode surface limits the X-ray beam on the anode side (heel-effect) forming a ‘D”
shaped X-ray field, limiting the useful coverage.
In “collimating” a beam to a given size and shape, a geared pair of lead shutters are
moved symmetrically into the beam to absorb the unwanted portion of the emerging
beam. A second geared pair of shutters are positioned at right angles to the first pair,
and again are moved symmetrically into the beam. In this manner, a continuously
variable square/rectangular beam is formed.
November 2005 ( 1 -3 ) Linear IV Collimator

The landing area of the beam will contain a radiographic image receptor located in a
plane perpendicular to the beam at pre-determined distances from the radiation source
(focal spot).
The size and shape of the image receptor will determine the maximum useful cross-
sectional size and shape of the beam in the plane of the image receptor. The source-to-
image receptor distance (SID) determines the actual shutter opening required to
regulate the beam size and shape in the plane of the image receptor.
“Positive” beam-limiting (PBL) devices incorporate means to prevent X-ray production

until the beam limitation meets the applicable provisions of the Performance Standards.
Automatic PBL devices incorporate motors that regulate the shutter opening as
required. Manual PBL devices require the operator to adjust the shutters by the use of
knobs, levers, etc.
The primary objective of the electronic logic circuitry is to limit the beam to the size of
the image receptor and to provide other standardized operations consistent with the
DHHS Performance Standards 21 CFR Sub-Chapter J. This is accomplished by
electrically measuring the size of the SID involved. The resultant signal is then
compared to a signal which represents the collimator shutter opening to form a means
of limiting the beam.
The second objective is to provide convenience features, such as a status indicator light
to aid and guide the operator in the use of the collimator, particularly with a manual PBL
device.
1.3 LINEAR IV STANDARD FEATURES

The Linear IV collimation system from Progeny includes all features required for
diagnostic excellence, as well as to minimize installation and diagnostic down times:
• Full manual operation for table-top radiography.

• Automatic PBL operation upon insertion of a cassette into the bucky tray.
• Manual field size reduction after automatic PBL cycle.
• Optional remote shutter control capability for fluoroscopic or radiographic operation. Allows
selection of up to three image intensifier sizes and all other features accessible at the front
panel.
• Spotfilm capability for fluoro/spotfilm operation.
• Square or rectangular pattern continuously variable from 17” x 17” at 36” SID (or 43 cm x 43
cm at 90 cm SID) to fully closed.
• Size sensing capability for all metric and inch size cassettes.
• Compatible with urological tables that are equipped with image intensifier systems.
• Optional cone track available for accessories.
• Swivel mount for angulated positioning.

• Tape measure provided for accurate SID positioning.
• SID monitor provided for continuous SID vertical operation. Second SID monitor can be
incorporated for differential SID operation.
• Bright bucky centering light-line.
• Digital display of SID and field size in English or metric units, selectable during calibration.
• Alpha numeric display of operational modes; to indicate ready, manual, and exposure hold
conditions and the cause of the condition; to indicate RAD, FLUORO or SPOTFILM modes;
and to display diagnostic, calibration, and error messages.
• Power assisted manual drive of the shutters or manually controlled knobs for size
adjustment.
• AUTOCAL, built in smart software allows collimator calibration to be done solely at the front
panel. No access to the logic board is necessary to complete calibration, no potentiometers
to adjust, and interface to accessories such as SID monitors and Bucky trays are very
adaptable allowing for almost any to be used in conjunction with the collimator. 1
• Calibration information is stored in non-volatile memory with write protection. Thus power
failures and most all electrical noise will not affect unit operation or calibration parameters.

1.6 RADIATION AND MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL WARNING

(from NEMA Standards Publication/No. XR8-1979)
Radiation Warning for Diagnostic X-Ray Systems

X-rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the vicinity unless established,
safe, exposure procedures are strictly observed.

The useful and scattered beams can produce serious, genetic or potentially fatal bodily
injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator.
Adequate precautions must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful beam, as
well as to leakage radiation from within the source housing or to scattered radiation
resulting from the passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, test, participate in or supervise the operation of the
equipment must be thoroughly familiar, and comply completely with the currently
established safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications such as
Sub-Chapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, “Diagnostic X-Ray
Systems and their Major Components,” and the National Council on Radiation Protection
(NCRP) No. 33, “Medical X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Protection for Energies up to 10 MeV-
Equipment Design and Use,” as revised or replaced in the future.
Failure to observe these warnings may cause serious, genetic or potentially fatal bodily
injuries to the operator or those in the area.
Mechanical-Electrical Warning for Diagnostic X-Ray Systems

All of the moveable assemblies and parts of X-ray equipment should be operated with
care.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should be permitted access to any internal
parts. Live electrical terminals are deadly; be sure line disconnect switches are opened
and other appropriate precautions are taken before opening access doors, removing
enclosure panels, or attaching accessories.
Do not remove the flexible high tension cables from the X-ray tube housing, or high
tension generator, or the access covers from the generator until the main and auxiliary
power supplies have been disconnected.
When disconnecting high voltage cables, they must be grounded immediately in order to
dissipate any electrical charge that may remain on the cables or the tube.
Failure to comply with the foregoing may result in serious or potentially fatal bodily

1.7 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The Linear IV collimator system is available with a factory installed remote control unit.
The remote functions available are to allow the user to implement field size changes
using the hand held unit. The unit provides functions which are the same as those
available at the front panel of the collimator. These functions include: light field control,
manual shutter control, automatic size pretest, and image intensifier selection control.
If required to route the remote cable through small openings or system conduit hosing, it
is possible to remove the cable from the hand held unit and reconnect it after the cable
is routed. To implement this, first ensure system power is off, then remove the 4 screws
from the bottom of the hand held unit and separate it into two pieces. Carefully remove
the cable with its connector from the mating header on the printed circuit board inside.
The cable may now be routed, with caution to protect the connector. The connector can
be reinstalled and the unit reassembled.

1.9 MAINTENANCE
The Collimator system must be properly maintained to assure both compliance with FDA
regulations and useful life.
Preventive maintenance is to be performed once every twelve months. This includes
inspection and lubrication of the collimator mechanism. The collimator mounting ring
and locking screw (70-10036 and 26-00752) should be examined to ensure secure
mounting of the collimator. ONLY PROGENY P/N 26-00752 COLLAR LOCKING
SCREW SHOULD BE USED.
If collimator does not spin freely and smoothly, remove it from tube. Clean all surfaces
of collar and mounting flanges. Apply lubriplate or similar grease. Mount collimator onto
tube. If shutters seem too loose or too tight when turning knobs, remove the front bezel
cover and adjust the knob tension bar as required. This can be done using an allen key
to turn screws in bar.
Checkout should also occur if any of the following conditions occur:
• Lamp replacement
• Electronic component failure
• When collimator is removed from tube/housing assembly
• When collimator has been subjected to external damage
Refer to Section 5.0 for collimator CHECK-OUT procedure.

Carefully unpack the equipment and check for damage incurred during shipment. Any
damage should be referred to the agency that delivered the product.
2.2 EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED
Refer to Figure 2-1 for component identification
• Linear IV Collimator
• Spacers and mounting hardware
• Interconnect and power supply unit
• Packet containing Instruction Manual
• Continuous SID Monitor
2.3 COLLIMATOR MOUNTING
1. Determine the collimator mounting surface to focal spot distance from the data
supplied with the X-ray tube (do not rely on an inscribed mark on the tube
housing).
Note: The collimator will not perform properly unless the focal spot to upper
swivel ring distance is 2-7/16” (2.44 inches, 62 mm) +/- 1/32” (.031 inches, 1 mm).
Be sure to include any permanent mounting plates in the focal spot to port boss
distance stated in the tube manufacturer’s data.
Note: The Linear IV is designed to be used with a lead diaphragm or cone in the
plastic port of the X-Ray tube. If it is found that lead diaphragms or cones require
removal or modification, consult the factory.
2. Determine the total thickness of the supplied spacer(s) that must be added to the
collimator mounting surface to obtain a focal spot to collimator mounting flange
distance of 2-7/16” (2.44 inches, 62 mm) +/- 1/32” (.031 inches, 1 mm). Refer
to Figure 2.2. Table 1 in the Appendix provides spacer information for some X-
ray tube housings.
3. Remove the upper swivel ring from the collimator by removing the 6-32 socket
head cap screw and opening the clamp ring.
NOTE: Two different lengths of screws are provided in the cloth bag containing
the spacers. Determine the correct length of screw to use, taking into account
the collimator spacing requirements and/or peculiarities of the tube housing port
boss.

DIMENSIONS
FIGURE 2.2
4. Clean the screws and housing port boss with alcohol and if necessary, remove
any debris which may be present in the tube housing mounting holes.
5. SECURELY fasten the upper mounting flange and spacers to the collimator
mounting surface. As a precaution, a medium strength thread locking
compound, such as Loctite #242, should be applied to the screws before
fastening the collimator mounting ring to the tube housing. The use of NYLOK
or other vibration resistant screws is also recommended.
Verify that the collimator mounting screws engage the housing by at least five (5)
threads when used with any required collimator spacer plate(s).

6. Carefully support the collimator in place and re-attach the clamping ring. The
hinge of the clamping ring must line up with the pin in the lower mounting ring.
Apply Loctite to the 6-32 socket head screw holding the clamping ring and
securely fasten together.
7. Inspect the fit of the collimator and tube housing. Grasp and attempt to move
the collimator and then the tube housing assembly while inspecting for loose
joints or gaps between the tube/collimator assembly as well as other tube
mounting areas.

6. CONTINUOUS VERTICAL SID MONITOR INSTALLATION
The Linear IV collimator is designed to operate with a continuous SID input as

defined in figure 2.8. If the monitor is built into the equipment, refer to the
manufacturer’s equipment installation manual. Refer to Section 7.0 of this
manual for more information or if the Progeny Continuous SID monitor is to be
installed.
Any SID monitor that meets the following criteria is compatible to the Linear IV
collimator.
Input Impedance < 1 kΩ
Response is linear over the range of operation of the SID monitor.
For accurate sizing, the following conditions must be met: A 10 turn

potentiometer at a 1:1 ratio of movement must measure 14.4 ohms/inch; and a
4:1 ratio must measure 3.6 ohms/inch of movement. A ratio greater than 4:1 is
not recommended.
Remove jumper between TS4-2 and TS4-3. Also remove jumper between TS5-
15 and TS5-16. Make electrical connections as shown in Figure 2.8. Adjust
potentiometer to read 450-500 ohms with the tube at 40” SID. At typical voltage
would be 2.5 VDC.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
November 2005 (3-1 ) Linear IV Collimator

3.0 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
It is necessary to confirm that the light field accurately represents the X-ray field. The
X-ray field (image) can be compared to the light field by establishing a defined light field
and exposing a film to produce a density of 1.0.
The X-ray field should be determined by exposing a film to a density of 1.0 on the
developed image and observing the points at which the density is just visibly increased
above the base fog background of the film.
In a similar manner, the light field edges should be determined by observing the light
field on a white background. Comparisons may be made by observing the points at
which the light field is just visibly increased over the background illumination and
comparing this with the X-ray field (and to the tolerance marks on the pattern).
The Performance Standards 1020.30 (b) (22) and (45) define the edges of the light field
as the locus of points at which the illumination is one-fourth of the maximum and the
edges of the X-ray field as the locus of points at which the exposure rate is one-fourth of
the maximum.
PLEASE NOTE: Eureka collimators are 100% tested and calibrated at the factory.
Our intention is that you will only have to confirm operation.
3.1 LIGHT FIELD / X-RAY CONGRUENCE TEST
1. Place the X-ray source-to-table distance at 40” (100 cm) SID and lock in place.
2. Turn collimator power on and place into PBL OVERRIDE by jumpering TS5-4
and TS5-5 together.
3. Locate a cassette on the tabletop and accurately center the cassette to the light
field. Mark the position of the cassette on the tabletop.
4. Manually reduce the size of the light/X-ray field to the next smaller film size.
5. Identify the light field edges and carefully mark the edges by placing metal
markers as illustrated below in Figure 3.1.
6. Expose the film to a density of 1.0 and develop.
7. Carefully identify the X-ray field edges and measure the difference between the
X-ray field and edges and the light field edges.
8. The sum of the long axis difference (X1 + X2) shall not exceed 2 percent of the
SID, and the sum of the cross axis difference shall not exceed 2 percent of the
SID.

9. If adjustment is necessary, continue with Section 3.2. If no adjustment is
necessary skip to section 3.3.

SECTION 4
CALIBRATION

4.0 CALIBRATION
Your new Linear IV collimator is 100% tested and calibrated at the factory. Re-
calibration on-site is necessary to maximize the collimator’s response to your existing
peripheral equipment and provide for the correct operation of the system installed.
Calibration time has been significantly shortened with the introduction of AUTOCAL.
Calibration is done solely at the front panel and does not require any access to printed
circuit boards during the process.
The LINEAR IV can be calibrated to operate with either English or metric cassettes and
SID's in the radiographic mode. At this time, fluoroscopic operation is only in English
units. Contact the factory if you desire metric units in fluoroscopic operation.
The LINEAR IV is also equipped with write-protected non volatile memory to save
calibration and memory preset information without risk of loss due to power interruptions
and/or electrical interference.
The calibration default is a fixed SID system, with wall bucky and table bucky, and
fluoroscopic/spotfilm capability with a 9” image intensifier. Re-calibration enabled (W1
on).
NOTE: EXPOSURE HOLD IS ENABLED DURING CALIBRATION. IF IT IS

REQUIRED THAT EXPOSURES BE MADE (OPTIONAL STEPS) THEN THE
EXPOSURE HOLD CIRCUIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE X-RAY
GENERATOR.
The calibration procedure assumes that installation of all equipment utilized with the
collimator is complete and correct. Section 5.0 will contain checkout procedures that
can be used to verify the collimator is working correctly and provide troubleshooting
information in the event it is not.
NOTE: THE LINEAR IV HAS A HARDWARE CALIBRATION INTERLOCK FEATURE

WHICH DISABLES THE CALIBRATION FUNCTION BUTTON ON THE FRONT
PANEL TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED OR ACCIDENTAL CALIBRATION. IF THIS
FEATURE IS ENGAGED THE CAL BUTTON WILL NOT CREATE ANY RESPONSE.
TO BYPASS THE INTERLOCK, THE COLLIMATOR ENCLOSURE MUST BE
REMOVED AND JUMPER W1 ON THE CPU BOARD BE INSTALLED.
NOTE: THE LINEAR IV ALSO HAS A SOFTWARE CALIBRATION INTERLOCK

FEATURE TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CALIBRATION. A SECURITY CODE MUST
BE ENTERED TO ACCESS CALIBRATION FEATURES.

4.2 DISABLING HARDWARE CALIBRATION INTERLOCK
If you were not required to come to this section from section 4.1, please skip to the next
section.
The following procedure defines the process of removing the hardware calibration
interlock feature of the Linear IV.

1. Remove the entire collimator enclosure.
2. Locate W1 on the CPU board and verify the jumper is installed. If W1 is installed
and calibration is still not accessible, return for service. Otherwise install jumper
W1.
3. Re-assemble collimator enclosure.
4.3 ENABLING HARDWARE CALIBRATION INTERLOCK
If desired, a hardware calibration interlock can be employed to prevent unauthorized or

accidental calibrations. This will prevent calibration to be performed unless entry to the
collimator head is established. This is an additional safeguard to the software code
interlock feature.
This section is optional.
1. Remove the entire collimator enclosure.
2. Locate W1 on the CPU board and remove the jumper on W1.
3. Test interlock by pressing the CAL button. If no action occurs the interlock is
established.
4. Re-assemble collimator enclosure.

SECTION 5
COLLIMATOR
FUNCTION CHECK

5.0 COLLIMATOR FUNCTION CHECK
This section describes a number of tests which can be performed to verify operation of
the collimator and attached peripheral components.
The first part of the test is semi-automated and does not require knowledge of SID and
or cassette size. Its' purpose is to identify if the drive and feedback mechanisms and
circuits are functioning properly. The test consists of the collimator sizing through a
number of preset field sizes for different SID’s for confirmation by the installer. Data can
also be recorded on an attached table to verify linearity and accuracy of the collimator.
The rest of the tests will confirm operation of some of the peripheral components that
are attached to the collimator system.
Since not all sections of this procedure may apply to a particular situation, it is important
that the assembler thoroughly review this section along with Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0
before starting. Also, different systems require different compliance requirements.
Section 6.0, “COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION” has been written to provide the assembler
with the information needed to assure compliance with the types of systems into which
this collimator may be installed. It is the responsibility of the assembler to determine
which compliance requirements are applicable.
YOU HAVE LEGAL OBLIGATIONS:

PRIOR TO RELEASE OF THE SYSTEM TO THE USER, THE RESULTS OF EACH
STEP MUST BE DEFINED.
ENTER THE APPROPRIATE DATA IN THE SPACES PROVIDED IN THE

COMPLIANCE DATA LOG AND RETAIN FOR YOUR RECORDS AS PROOF THAT
THESE TESTS WERE SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
A. The X-ray tube support and the table must include angulation indicators in order
to comply with part 1020.31 (d)(2)(i) and 1020.21 (e)(1)(ii). These indicators are
to be used for the following tests.
B. The X-ray tube support device also must include SID indicating means in order
to comply with 1020.31 (e)(1)(i). This indicator will be used in these tests.
C. Measuring Tape (ruler). This is to be used as a backup for the SID indicating
means and as an operational range measurement.

5.14 NOTES ON CASSETTE TRAY ADJUSTMENT
The table cassette tray and the wall cassette holder do not need to be adjusted to be
synchronous with each other. The collimator retains separate calibration parameters for
both image receptors.

The collimator knows which tray it is shooting at when installed properly, therefore it is
unnecessary for the table and wall cassette tray potentiometers to be set exactly the
same.
The collimator has been calibrated at the factory around a cassette tray that is calibrated
for an 11” (12-1/8” outside) or 28 cm ( 31 cm outside) cassette. The 11” (28 cm)
dimension represents exactly one half of the 1 kilo-ohm cassette tray potentiometer.
Consult the tray manufacturer’s manual if adjustment is necessary.
NOTE: THE LINEAR IV’S AUTOCAL FEATURE “LEARNS” THE SETTINGS OF

6.0 COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION
It is necessary for the assembler to verify compliance. A series of tests, when
performed at the time of installation, will indicate compliance with 21 CFR, Sub-Chapter
J, Part 1020, Performance Standards.
The following tests are from NEMA Standards Publication, No. XR-8-1979 (Test
Methods for Diagnostic X-Ray Machines for Use During Initial Installation).
For each compliance item, there may be a variety of test methods described. Which
method is used will depend on the tester’s experience, availability of equipment, time, or
special requirements of the Eureka Linear Collimator. Any reference to tolerances on
compliance items are referenced directly from 21 CFR, Sub-Chapter J, Regulations.
They do not take into account inaccuracies brought about by the test equipment,
instrumentation, or the human element. These factors must be considered when these
tests are performed and the compliance of the equipment is being determined.

Radiation Warning for Diagnostic X-Ray Systems
X-rays are dangerous for both the operator and others in the vicinity unless established
safe exposure procedures are strictly observed.

The useful and scattered beams can produce serious, genetic or potentially fatal bodily
injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator.
Adequate precautions must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful beam, as
well as leakage radiation from within the source housing or to scattered radiation
resulting from the passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, test, participate in or supervise the operation of the

equipment must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with the currently
established safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications such as
Sub-Chapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, “Diagnostic X-Ray
Systems and their Major Components,” and the National Council on Radiation Protection
(NCRP) No. 33, “Medical X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Protection for Energies up to 10 Me
V-Equipment Design and Use,” as revised or replaced in the future.
Failure to observe these warnings may cause serious, genetic or potentially fatal bodily

REQUIREMENT - Means shall be provided for visually defining the perimeter of the X-
ray field. The total misalignment of the edges of the visually defined field with the
respective edges of the X-ray field along either the length or width of the visually defined
field shall not exceed 2 percent of the distance from the source to the center of the
visually defined field when the surface upon which it appears is perpendicular to the axis
of the X-ray beam (see 21 CFR 1020.31 (d) (2)).
.01 METHOD 1 - FDA COMPLIANCE TEST METHOD
A. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
1. BRH/FDA compliance test stand (including slide assembly). See Figure

6.1.
2. Four metal marker strips.
3. Plastic cassette, loaded with direct-print paper or film.
B. PROCEDURE
1. Attach the spacer, positioned out of the primary beam to the test stand.
Center the stand on the table. Center the source over the stand, assure
by the means provided that the axis of the X-ray beam is perpendicular to
the plane of the image receptor, and bring the beam-limiting device down
into firm contact with the spacer. Select the MANUAL mode of operation
(there must not be a cassette in the cassette holder).
2. Insert the slide assembly, grid side up, into slot 6 of the test stand and
the focal spot assembly into slot 1 (Figure 6-2). Place a cassette loaded
with direct print paper or film into the slide assembly.
3. Adjust the collimator so that no part of the light-field intersects any portion
of the top of the test stand. (Further collimation to a light field of less
than 15 by 20 centimeters (6 by 8 in) on the slide assembly grid may be
desirable to assure that the X-ray field will be fully contained on the direct
print paper for film in the slide assembly).
4. Position the outer edge of each metal strip to correspond with each side
of the light-field. One end of the metal strip shall extend to the center line
of the respective grid arm.
5. Select proper technique factors and make an exposure (may require

several exposures to obtain 1 R to the direct print paper).
6. Develop the direct print paper or film.

C. VERIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE
For determination of misalignment, compare the edges of the X-ray field to the
edges of the light-field as defined by the outer edges of the metal strips. On
each side of the rectangular fields, measure the separation between the X-ray
field and the outside edge on the image of the respective metal strip. Sum these
measured separations for opposite sides of the X-ray field to yield a total
misalignment in the length and width dimensions. Record the length
misalignment and width misalignment, both without regard to sign (see
Paragraph D on following page and Figure 6-3).
D. CALCULATIONS
Calculate the source to image distance (SID) per the following formula (to slot 6)
as the indicated source-to-table top distance minus 4.7 centimeters (1.85 in) and
record. Calculate 2 percent of this SID and record. Both the length and width
misalignment must be less than 2 percent of SID (to slot 6).

C. PROCEDURE
Visually inspect the system and determine the aluminum equivalence of the total
filtration in the primary beam. This includes the inherent filtration of the X-Ray
tube, X-Ray tube housing, beam-limiting device, and any additional filtration that
may have been added in the useful beam (in fluoroscopic systems the tabletop
system is included as part of the added filtration).

The aluminum equivalence of the total filtration must be equal to or greater than
the amount specified in Table 6-2.
.02 METHOD II - STANDARD ABSORBER METHOD
A. GENERAL
This test is to be used when the surveyor cannot remove or see the total filtration
equivalence.

a preselected technique factor of 80 kV and appropriate mA and time.
The reading of the radiation output is recorded.
2. Position a total of 2.5 ,millimeters of aluminum at the port of the beam-

limiting device and repeat the exposure using the same technique
factors. Record the radiation output.
For X-ray units operating at low kVp (less than 50) and for
mammography units, it will be necessary to use an aluminum absorber of
0.6 millimeters at 49 kVp.
Verify that the radiation output in Step 2 is greater than or equal to 50 percent of
the radiation output in Step 1.

1. Attach the spacer, positioned out of the primary beam, to the test stand. Center the stand on
the table. Center the source over the stand and bring the beam-limiting device down into firm
contact with the spacer. Select the MANUAL mode of operation (there must not be a cassette
in the cassette tray). Insert the beam-defining assembly in slot 1 of the stand with the leaded
side up (see Figure 6.2). Adjust the beam-limiting device so that the X-ray field slightly exceeds
the aperture of the beam-defining assembly. Mount the ion chamber at position B with the
chamber facing upward. Connect the chamber and meter with the cable provided. Select a
tube potential that is commonly used and is in the highest kV range of the X-ray system.
2. With no added filtration in the beam, make an exposure and record the
reading. For all diagnostic X-ray equipment, use Table 6-3 to determine
increments of filtration required to perform the half-value layer procedure.
Make an exposure and record the reading for each total thickness.

XR 8-2.24 FLUOROSCOPIC X-RAY FIELD LIMITATION
REQUIREMENT
A. NONIMAGE-INTENSIFIED FLUOROSCOPY
The X-Ray field by non image-intensified fluoroscopic equipment shall not

extend beyond the entire visible area of the image receptor. This requirement
applies to field size during fluoroscopic procedures.
B. IMAGE-INTENSIFIED FLUOROSCOPY
1. During fluoroscopic procedures, neither the length nor the width of the X-
Ray field in the plane of the image receptor shall exceed the visible area
of the image receptor by more than 3 percent of the source-to-image
distance (SID). The sum of the excess length and the excess width shall
be no greater than 4 percent of the SID.
2. Compliance shall be determined with the beam axis perpendicular to the

image receptor. For rectangular X-Ray fields used with circular image
receptors, the error in alignment shall be determined along the length and
width dimensions of the X-Ray field which pass through the center of the
visible area of the image receptor. (See 21CFR 1020.32 (b).)
.01 METHOD I - FDA/CDRH TEST STAND METHOD
A. EQUIPMENT

2. Brass or copper attenuation block.
3. Plastic cassette and direct-print paper or redipack film cassette.
B. PROCEDURE
1. Position all movable grids and compression cones out of the path of the
primary beam. If necessary, level the table and retract the spotfilm
carriage. If the system utilizes a television monitor, turn it on and allow
time for warm up.
2. Place the test stand in the approximate center of the table.
3. Insert the slide assembly, grid side down, into slot 5 (See Fig. 6.2.)
4. Place attenuator block on top of slide assembly.

5. Fully open the beam-limiting device.
6. Center the image receptor over the test stand by observing the image of
the grid on the image receptor.
7. Bring the imaging assembly down into firm contact with the top of the
stand.
8. If using a dual-field image intensifier, e.g., 6-and 9-inch capability, select

the mode of largest image magnification, e.g., 6-inch mode in this case.
9. Adjust the controls to obtain the best quality image.
10. Insert a plastic cassette containing a sheet of direct-print paper or

redipack film cassette into the slide assembly and make an exposure.
11. At the image output, count the units from the center of the grid to each
edge of the image as shown by lines A, B, C and D of Fig. 6.7.
Note that line A passes between grid numbers 1 and 4, B passes

between numbers 1 and 2, etc. Record the measurements in order.
12. Develop the film and outline the perimeter of the image.
13. Count the units from the center of the grid to each edge as you did with
A, B, C, and D above. Record these as A’, B’, C’ and D’.

Figure 6.7
FLUOROSCOPIC X-RAY FIELD LIMITATION TEST STAND METHOD

For compliance of non image-intensified systems, A shall be less than or equal

to A’, B shall be less than or equal to B’, C shall be less than or equal to C’, and
D shall be less than or equal to D’.
For image-intensified systems, determine the source-to-slot-5 distance by adding

18.5 centimeters (7.3 in) to the minimum source-to-skin distance (SSD)
determined by the SSD test procedure using the FDA/CDRH test stand.
Calculate and record 3 percent and 4 percent of this distance. Determine the
difference, without regard to sign of A and A’, B and B’, C and C’, and D and D’.
Sum the differences. They must be less than or equal to 4 percent of the
source-to-slot-5 distance. In addition, the sum of A and A’ plus C and C’
differences and the sum of the B and B’ plus the D and D’ differences must each
be less than or equal to 3 percent of the source-to-slot-5 distance.
.02 METHOD II - DIRECT METHOD
A. EQUIPMENT
1. Lead foil phantom or copper attenuator.
2. Direct-print paper.
3. One by one-inch steel marker.
4. Four additional metal markers (each marker is approximately 1/32-inch

galvanized sheet metal having the dimensions of 1.5 by 0.5 inches).
B. PROCEDURE - NON IMAGE-INTENSIFIED FLUOROSCOPE
1. Place the image receptor as close as possible to the tabletop.
2. Open the shutters to the maximum and activate the fluoroscopic tube.
3. Slowly increase the distance between the tabletop and the image
receptor. The unit is in compliance if, at the greatest extension of the
image receptor, there is an unilluminated border all round the visible area
of the image receptor. No further tests need to be made.
4. If the illuminated area expands to the edges of the visible area of the
image receptor, lower the image receptor until there is a small
unilluminated border.
5. Close the shutters to produce approximately a 2-inch wide unilluminated

border. Resume increasing image-receptor-to-tabletop distance. The
unit is not in compliance if the illuminated area continues to expand.

6. If the illuminated area does not expand, then at the maximum SID, slowly
open the shutters to the maximum. The unit is in compliance if the
illuminated area does not expand.
C. PROCEDURE - IMAGE INTENSIFIED FLUOROSCOPE

(Over-the-table Tube, Variable Collimator)
This procedure can be used only if the distance from the input phosphor to the
tabletop does not change with SID and if the SID is variable.
1. Raise the tube housing to its greatest SID and, if the beam-limiting device
is not automatic, close the shutters to their fullest extent.
2. Activate the tube and slowly increase the field size while observing the
monitor. If at the maximum field size it is obvious that the image of the
beam-limiting device is apparent at the edge of the image receptor, no
further test need be made. (See Fig. 6.8.)
SHUTTERS
Figure 6.8

3. If there is no unilluminated area at any of the edges of the image
receptor, lower the tube head until the bottom of the beam-limiting device
is at its minimal distance from the tabletop (or 12 inches, whichever is
greater). Record this distance.
4. Place a lead foil phantom or copper attenuator on the tabletop and center
a loaded cassette in the light-field (Fig. 6.9)
5. Adjust the light-field to give a 5-by 7 inch field on the cassette and mark
the edges with metal markers.
6. Attach a 1-by 1-inch steel marker to the center of the bottom of the
beam-limiting device. (Exact centering is not necessary.)
7. Make an appropriate exposure.
8. Develop the direct-print paper or film and check light and X-ray beam
alignment.
9. Measure length of marker image.
10. By similar triangles, determine the source-to-tabletop distance.

11. This procedure can continue only if the unit is aligned to radiographic
requirements (plus or minus 2 percent SID). Raise the tube head to
maximum SID.
12. Mark the edges of the visible area by placing two radiopaque markers
within the light-field and parallel to each other and to the edges of the
light-field.
13. While viewing the markers through the image intensifier, activate the tube
on and off, adjusting the parallel markers between exposures until the
outer edges of the markers are no longer visible (Fig. 6.10)
14. Again, turn on the light-field and measure the distance from the edges of
the light-field to the parallel markers.
15. To determine the maximum source-to-tabletop distance, subtract the

beam-limiting-device-to-tabletop distance previously determined from the
source-to-tabletop distance as previously calculated and add this result to
the measured distance from the bottom of the beam-limiting device to the
tabletop. Calculate the percent of the SID of the X-ray field that is in
excess of the visible area.
16. Place the markers at right angles to the original position and repeat the
last three steps.

D. PROCEDURE - IMAGE INTENSIFIED FLUOROSCOPE (Under-the-table Tube,
Variable Collimator)
NOTE: This procedure is not included since it does not apply to the Linear IV
Collimator System.
For non image-intensified fluoroscopy, verify that the X-Ray field does not extend
beyond the visible area of the image receptor.
For image-intensified fluoroscopy, verify that neither the length or width

misalignment exceeds the visible area of the image receptor by more than 3
percent of the SID. The sum of the excess length and the excess width shall be

6. Select proper techniques factors and a one-on-one spotfilm format.
7. Make an exposure and develop films.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each available spotfilm format.
D. CALCULATIONS
1. Calculate the magnification factor by measuring the distance between the

same two points on the graduated template image on each of the two
films. The two points chosen must be as far apart as possible. Divide
the smaller measurement into the larger measurement to determine the
magnification factor.
2. If the source-to-test stand film distance is known, calculate the actual SID
by multiplying the magnification factor by the known source-to-test film
distance.
3. If the source-to-test stand film distance is not known, measure the actual
distance from the graduated template position to the test stand film plane
(distance Z, see Fig. 6.14).
4. Calculate the source-to-template distance (distance X) using the following

formula:
A = X or X = AZ
B X+Z B-A
where:
A = two points on a graduated template.

B = magnification of the same two points on
the graduated template used in A.

5. Calculate the source-to-test stand film distance by adding distance X and
distance Z. Multiply the source-to-test stand film distance by the
magnification factor determined in step 1 to determine the actual SID.
6. On the test stand film measure and record distances a, b, c, and d from
the center of the graduated template to each respective edge of the
radiographic image (see Fig. 6.15).
7. Multiply each distance a through d by the magnification factor and record

the products as a’, b’, c’, and d’. Note the a’, b’, c’, and d’ are the
respective distances they would have been if they had been recorded at
the spotfilm plane.
8. On the spotfilm image measure distances A, B, C, and D from the center

of the graduated template image to each respective edge of the selected
portion of the spotfilm (see Fig. 6.16). Record distances A, B, C, and D
as measured.
9. Calculate the length differences and width differences without regard to

sign as follows:
Length difference = B -b’ + D - d’
Width difference = A-a’ + C - c’
Record the sum of the length and width differences.

1. Calculate 3 and 4 percent of the actual SID and record.
The individual length and width misalignment, regardless of sign, must be

less than or equal to 3 percent of the SID as calculated in step 1. The
summation of the length and width misalignments, regardless of sign,
must be less than or equal to 4 percent of the SID as calculated in step 1.

approximately 1.0.
2. The actual SID must be determined prior to performing this test.
B. EQUIPMENT

C. PROCEDURE
1. Load cassette with film and place in the spotfilm device.
2. Select a one-on-one spotfilm format.
3. Assure that the SID is set to the value previously determined in the actual
SID determination test.
4. Reduce the X-ray field size to a size slightly smaller than the size of the
film area to be exposed.
5. Make an exposure and develop film.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each available spotfilm format.
7. To determine the centers of the X-ray films draw diagonals across the film
(the point where these two lines cross is the center of the film).
8. To determine the corners of the image recorded on the film , locate two
points on each side of the four sides of the image. Through the two
points on each side draw a straight line. These four lines when extended
intersect making a rectangle which is a close approximation of the actual
X-ray field. Draw diagonals across the rectangular figure determined.
The point at which the two diagonals cross is assumed to be the center of
the X-ray field.
9. The distance from the film center mark is measured and recorded as the
linear displacement or misalignment of the centers of the image receptor
and the X-ray field.
Verify that this distance is less than or equal to 2 percent of the SID.

CONTINUOUS SID
ADJUSTMENT

7.0 CONTINUOUS SID ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
7.1 GENERAL
The purpose of the continuous SID monitor is to provide an output voltage (VSID)
proportional to the SID. The Eureka SID monitor provides a nominal 14.4 OHMS per
inch resistance change. If the SID monitor is attached to follow the X-ray tube SID
excursion directly, this would then be a 1:1 ratio system. Most integrated tubestand/flat
bucky table systems are 1:1 ratio systems. However, if the monitor is attached to an
overtable tube carriage, it will probably be attached to a telescopic member that moves
at a ratio of 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1 with respect to the X-ray tube movement. Hence, most
ceiling suspended tube carrier systems are either 3:1 or 4:1 ratio systems.
The SID interface to the Linear IV has been greatly simplified to accommodate a range
of different SID monitors and/or different SID ratios. The Linear IV during calibration will
“learn” the rate of tube excursion for the SID monitor attached, thus making it
unnecessary to set switches to indicate ratios and making it easier to modify SID circuits
to accommodate ratios which are slightly different than their whole number values.
The SID circuit provides a source current of 5mA to the SID monitor. The Eureka SID
monitor is a 1 kOhm pot that will thus produce a maximum of 5V, and a minimum of 0V.
Any SID monitor can be used as long as the voltage range is linear with respect to SID
and does not exceed 5V.
7.2 SID MONITOR INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the mechanism which would require

replacement of the SID monitor, observe the following guidelines:
Install the SID monitor so that the measuring cable, cable clamp, and SID monitor
mechanism will remain unobstructed in all conditions of use.
If the Overhead Table System (OTS) allows the SID to be varied by more than 66
inches (170 cm), positive mechanical stops must be used to limit the range to prevent
SID cable breakage and/or mechanical damage.
Do not arbitrarily pull the measuring cable during handling and installation or allow the
measuring cable to recoil unrestricted into the monitor.
Do not clamp, kink or knot the measuring cable, which would distort the cable within its
working range.

Route the SID monitor interconnection cable directly to the Linear IV power supply unit.
Verify that the cable is free of kinks or knots and that it will not come in contact with any
other moving parts of the system. Provide adequate strain relief where required.
OPTION - For adjustable height table systems using the differential SID option, follow
the above guidelines for the second SID monitor installed in the adjustable height table.
7.3 SID MONITOR POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENT
With power to the Linear IV collimator system off, disconnect the red and black wires of
the SID monitor interconnection cable from terminal strip locations TS4-2 and TS4-3 in
the Linear IV power supply enclosure.
Place a digital ohm meter to the red and black wire. Vary the SID of the OTS and
observe that as SID decreases, the SID potentiometer resistance increases. If a
decrease in SID does not produce an increase in resistance, then remove the Buss wire
on the SID potentiometer from the red wire and connect it to the black wire.
Set the SID of the OTS to 72 inches (180 cm) or its design operating range (whichever
is less). Adjust the SID monitor cable so that the SID monitor resistance will be
approximately 40 ohms when properly attached to the cable. Typical good signal to
noise ratio setting at 40” (100 cm) SID would be 450 ohms or 2.5 VDC.
NOTE: It is not critical that the specified resistance above be set exactly, as the
Linear IV will “learn” the setting and compensate for it. It is critical that the SID
monitor move freely within its operating range and provide a voltage linearly
proportional to SID.
NOTE: If the specified resistance is not obtainable, it may be necessary to

relocate the cable clamp, attach additional cable, or readjust the SID
potentiometer by loosening the set screw attaching the flexible coupling and pot
shaft, then re-tightening the set screw when finished adjusting.
Reconnect the SID monitor interconnection cable as shown in Figure 2-8. Make sure all
cable clamps are properly tightened.

7.4 (OPTION) DIFFERENTIAL (TABLE) SID MONITOR POTENTIOMETER
VERIFICATION
NOTE: This section should only be used if the X-ray system under installation
employs an adjustable height table top and a second SID monitor is installed in
the table for differential SID sensing.
With the power to the Linear IV collimator system off, disconnect the red and black wires
of the SID monitor interconnection cable from terminal strip locations TS4-4 and TS4-5
in the Linear IV power supply enclosure.
Place a digital ohm meter to the red and black wire. Vary the SID of the Table and
observe that as SID increases, the SID potentiometer increases. If an increase in SID
does not produce an increase in resistance for the table SID monitor only, then remove
the Buss wire on the SID potentiometer from the black wire and connect it to the red
wire.
Set the table to its full up position. Adjust the adjustable table SID monitor cable so that
the SID monitor resistance will be approximately 10 to 20 ohms when properly attached
to the cable. A typical on a 1:1 ratio is 0.5 VDC when table is in full up position.
NOTE: It is not critical that the specified resistance above be set exactly, as the
Linear IV will “learn” the setting and compensate for it. It is critical that the SID
monitor move freely within its operating range and provide a voltage linearly
proportional to SID.
NOTE: If the specified resistance is not obtainable, it may be necessary to

relocate the cable clamp, attach additional cable, or readjust the SID
potentiometer by loosening the set screw attaching the flexible coupling and pot
shaft, then re-tightening the set screw when finished adjusting.
Reconnect the SID monitor interconnection cable as shown in figure 2.9. Make sure all
cable clamps are properly tightened.
7.5 SID CIRCUIT VERIFICATION
The SID circuit of the Linear IV will provide continuous SID indication from 36” to 72” (92
cm to 180 cm) with the correct (compatible) SID monitor installed. Optionally the Linear
IV can provide differential SID (adjustable height tables) within the same range of
operation with the second (table) SID monitor installed.
The SID circuit on the master board (70-08320) provides two fixed constant current
sources for each SID (tube and table) monitor installed. The current from these sources
is nominally 5mA, thus any SID monitor that provides a linear voltage within its operating
range and does not exceed 1kohm at its output within its operating range is deemed
compatible with the circuit.
The constant current sources can be verified using the following procedure.
1. With power applied to the Linear IV power supply, connect a digital DC ammeter
to TP1 (mA1+) and TP2 (ma1-) test points on the Linear IV master board
(70-08320).
2. Remove jumper W1 and verify a reading of 5mA + 0.25mA.
3. Reconnect jumper W1.
4. Connect the digital ammeter to TP3 (mA2+) and TP4 (mA2-) test points on the
Linear IV master board (70-08320).
5. Remove jumper W2 and verify a reading of 5mA + 0.25 mA.

6. Reconnect jumper W2.
NOTE: No other adjustments are necessary as the SID monitors rate and offset
are determined by software during the auto-calibration process. There are no
potentiometers to adjust.

Service Mode Messages
Various service mode messages exist. They are explained in Sections 4 and 5 in the
manual.
8.4 RADIOGRAPHIC (AUTOMATIC) OPERATION
1. Place X-ray generator in radiographic mode.
2. Insert cassette into tray and close tray.
3. Collimator will switch from MANUAL to EXPOSURE HOLD while the shutters are
moving, then to READY-RAD when the shutters are correctly positioned.
4. Press "LAMP" button to activate light field and bucky centering light line.

5. Properly center the bucky/cassette in the light field. This can be done by either
moving the bucky/cassette or the tube/collimator if possible. The bucky
centering light line should be lined up with the center of the tray handle to ensure
centering of the film cassette.
6. An exposure may now be taken. You may reduce the X-ray field size if desired
by either using the manual shutter control knobs or the long and cross open and
close buttons on the front panel. Please note that automatic PBL operation will
not allow the field size to be larger than the cassette size in the tray.
7. Any time a new cassette is put in the tray, the shutters will automatically size to
that cassette. Pressing the LAST SIZE button will move the shutters to the size
held prior to the new cassette being loaded.
8. The MEM ONE and MEM TWO buttons can be used to store the current field
size. Press and hold the MEM button (#6 or #11 in Figure 8.1) until the indicator
light (#7 or #12) turns off, then release the button and the size will be stored. To
later move to the stored size, press and release the MEM button and the shutters
will move to the stored size.
9. Please note the collimator will not move the shutters to a size larger than the
current cassette. For example, if a 10 x 10 is stored in MEM ONE while a 17 x
17 cassette is in place and later an 8 x 8 cassette is inserted, pressing MEM
ONE will have no effect. If one dimension is smaller than the new cassette size,
the shutters will move to that size. In the previous example, if 10 x 7 is stored in
MEM ONE, once an 8 x 8 cassette is inserted, pressing MEM ONE will move the
shutters to 8 x 7. However, 10 x 7 is still maintained as MEM ONE if a larger
cassette is later inserted.
10. The collimator is designed to operate at a fixed vertical SID (typically 40 inches
or 100 cm) unless it is a continuous or differential SID system. If the collimator is
not at the fixed vertical SID, the display will read either:
a. EXP HLD-LOCK SID if there is a cassette present but an improper SID

for automatic PBL operation, or
b. MAN-SID NOT SET if there is no cassette present indicating manual

table top exposure is allowed but the SID is unknown.
11. If part of the automatic PBL (positive beam limiting) system is not functioning or
a special procedure is required, the PBL system can be disabled by turning the
PBL override switch located at the collimator power supply. The collimator will
allow any shutter size to be selected, even if it is larger than the cassette size.
The collimator functions all remain the same except that the MEM ONE, MEM
TWO, and LAST SIZE buttons are disabled. When the collimator is returned to
normal automatic operation, the shutter size will remain unchanged unless the
current size is larger than the cassette. In this case, the shutters will size to the
cassette.

8.5 RADIOGRAPHIC (TABLE TOP/MANUAL) OPERATION
1. Place the X-ray generator in radiographic mode.
2. This display should read MAN-NO CASS with " - - x - - " for field size.
3. Place the film cassette on the table top. Press the LAMP button to activate the
lamp field. Position the cassette in the lamp field and manually adjust the
shutters and SID for desired technique.
4. Press the ENT/SET button to display table top estimates of field size and SID.
5. MEM ONE, MEM TWO, and LAST SIZE buttons perform no function in this
mode.
6. If the vertical SID is not the fixed SID (typically 40 inches or 100 cm), the display
will read MAN-SID NOT SET allowing table top exposure at an unknown SID.
8.6 CONTINUOUS AND DIFFERENTIAL SID OPERATION
1. The Linear IV collimator is capable of vertical continuous (tubestand movable)

and differential (both table and tubestand moveable) operation. Continuous SID
operation requires one SID monitor while differential SID operation requires two
SID monitors.
2. Operation sequences remain the same as in Section 8.4 with differences only in
what is displayed for SID and field size.
3. As the table or tubestand is moved, the SID display is updated to reflect the
current SID. If a cassette is loaded in the tray, the message area will display SID
MOVING while the shutters adjust to the new SID size. Once the shutters stop
moving, the display will revert to READY-RAD. If there is no cassette present
while the table or tubestand is moved, the SID display will be updated but the
field size will only indicate " - - x - -" and the message area MAN-NO CASS
until a cassette is inserted in the tray.
4. Please note that if you have adjusted the field size smaller than the cassette size
and move the table or tubestand to a different SID, the collimator will resize to
the full cassette size once movement is stopped. However, the MEM buttons
can be used to store and recall desired field sizes.
5. The MEM and LAST SIZE buttons function operate in the same manner as in
Section 8.4. In addition, the field size is maintained irregardless of SID. That is,
if 15 x 15 is stored in MEM ONE at 40 SID and the SID is changed to 48,
recalling MEM ONE will move the shutters to 15 x 15 at 48. If a new cassette
has not been loaded, this can also be easily accomplished by pressing the LAST
SIZE button. This will recall the last adjusted field size before the SID was
changed.

6. SID movement in the automatic mode can then be treated just like an insertion of
a new cassette in the tray. The field size is adjusted to the cassette in place and
any "coned down" size is placed in LAST SIZE for recall.
8.7 HORIZONTAL (WALL) OPERATION
1. The Linear IV is capable of operating in an automatic mode at four fixed

horizontal SID's (36", 40", 48" and 72" or 92 cm, 100 cm, 120 cm, and 180 cm).
Please refer to X-ray system information about the availability of these four
locations in your equipment.
2. The Linear IV operation horizontally is identical to that described in section 8.4.

Please note that continuous or differential operation is only possible vertically.
3. The current SID is displayed on the collimator as the collimator moves to

different horizontal SIDs. When the collimator is moved to a new horizontal SID,
the shutters automatically resize to the cassette currently in place (if any). The
MEM or LAST SIZE buttons function as in 8.4 to recall field sizes used at a
previous SID.
4. If the collimator is pointed to a wall device, but is not at one of the four allowed
horizontal SIDs, one of two messages will be displayed. If there is a cassette in
the wall holder, the display will read EXP HOLD-LOCK SID, indicating an invalid
SID position for automatic operation. If there is no cassette in the wallholder, the
display will indicate MAN-SID NOT SET which allows for non-bucky horizontal
exposures.
5. If the display reads MANUAL-TILT, the collimator is not pointing directly at the
wallholder (+/- 10%).
8.8 FLUOROSCOPIC OPERATION
1. Place the X-ray generator in fluoroscopic mode.
2. The message area should read (F) RDY-FLR NORM. The (F) indicates the
collimator is in the Full Film spotfilm mode (see Section 8.9); (P) would indicate
Preset spotfilm mode (Section 8.9). RDY-FLR indicates the collimator is ready
for fluoroscopic operation. NORM indicates the image intensifier (I.I.) set up as
NORM is selected.
3. Press the MAG SIZE button to toggle through the three preset I.I. size
selections. Each time a new I.I. is selected, the collimator will size to the correct
shutter position. You can verify the size of an I.I. selected by either 1) pressing
the LAST SIZE button if you have not adjusted the shutters since changing I.I.
size, or 2) pressing the ENT/SET button which toggles between Full Film and
Preset modes but will also display the I.I. size in the field size display.

4. You can reduce the X-ray field size at the front panel or by the use of an optional
remote control. The new field size is not displayed. To return to the full I.I. size,
press the MAG SIZE button once. Please note that if you've adjusted the field
size smaller then the I.I., the MAG SIZE button will reset to the full size of the
current I.I., not change I.I. sizes. If the current I.I. is fully sized, pressing the
MAG SIZE button will toggle I.I. sizes. The I.I. is fully sized if the field size
display reads " - - x - -". Pressing LAST SIZE when " - - x - -" is displayed will
show the I.I. size.
5. The MEM ONE and MEM TWO buttons function the same as in Section 8.4.
The sizes in memory are maintained even after switching I.I. sizes. Please note
that the shutters will never move larger than the current I.I. size. Unlike
radiographic operation, selecting MEM location if larger than I.I. will replace MEM
location with current I.I. size.
8.9 SPOTFILM OPERATION
1. While in the FLUORO mode, the Linear IV will enter the SPOTFILM mode when
the cassette tray is advanced into the exposure area. See your system
information for details on spotfilm operation.
2. The spotfilm operation of collimator will depend on which mode has been
selected: FULL FILM or PRESET. The PRESET mode allows the collimator to
keep a particular shutter size (as long as it is less than the cassette size) when
switching from fluoroscopic to spotfilm applications. Pressing the ENT/SET
button in FLUORO will toggle between PRESET and FULL FILM modes.
3. Indication of the current FULL FILM or PRESET operation during FLUORO or

SPOTFILM modes is indicated in two ways. First after depressing ENT/SET,
FULL FILM or PRESET will be indicated on the alphanumeric display on the front
panel for approximately two seconds. Afterwards a (F) or a (P) will precede the
message on that display to indicate FULL FILM or PRESET respectively.
4. FULL FILM OPERATION
When FULL FILM is selected the collimator can still be coned down to sizes
smaller than the maximum allowed by the current image receptor in use. But,
when switching from FLUORO to SPOTFILM modes, the collimator will always
initially cycle the shutters to the full cassette size in use. To return to the
previous coned down size, the user must depress the LAST SIZE button.
Returning to FLUORO, the collimator will resize to maximum II size for the
current magnification selected.
Selecting FULL FILM while in PRESET SPOTFILM mode will cause the
collimator to resize to the full cassette size. Pressing LAST SIZE will allow the
user to return to the previous coned down size.

Selecting FULL FILM while in PRESET FLUORO mode has no effect on shutter
position but does change the mode for the next SPOTFILM. MAG SIZE can be
used to open the shutters to the maximum II size for currently selected
magnification.
5. PRESET OPERATION
When PRESET is selected and SPOTFILM mode is entered from FLUORO, the
collimator will slightly readjust it's position in SPOTFILM mode to obtain the
same size it had just prior in FLUORO mode if it is within the limits of the
cassette size, without first sizing to the full cassette size. If a shutter is larger
than a cassette dimension, the shutter will close to the cassette size.
When PRESET is selected and FLUORO mode is entered from SPOTFILM, the
collimator will slightly readjust it's position in FLUORO mode to obtain the same
size it had just prior in SPOTFILM mode if it is within the limits of the maximum II
size for the current magnification, without first sizing to the maximum II size.
Again, a shutter which is beyond the limit will close to the II size.
Selecting PRESET while in a FULL FILM SPOTFILM mode has no effect on

shutter position, but it does set the current size as the new PRESET size.
Pressing LAST SIZE in this case will have no effect, as the current size is also
the LAST SIZE.
Selecting PRESET while in FULL FILM FLUORO mode has no effect on shutter
position but does change the mode for the next spotfilm application and engages
the size display to indicate numerically.
6. MAG SIZE BUTTON
Operation of MAG SIZE has not changed. It will always cause the shutter to
move to the maximum II size for that magnification and toggle the magnification
of I.I. between three inches.
8.10 TILTING COLLIMATOR AND TILTING TABLE OPERATION
1. Logic contained in the Linear IV makes sure that the collimator is pointed toward
the desired image receptor.
2. If the collimator is angled more than 10°, the collimator will display MANUAL-
TILT and blank the SID and field size display (regardless of whether a cassette
is present). Continuing to angle the collimator to 90° will lead to an error
message of either MAN-NO CASS or MAN-WRONG WALL. MAN-NO CASS
indicates the wall is an acceptable image receptor, but no cassette is present.
MAN-WRONG WALL indicates the collimator is pointing 180° from the calibrated
wall device. If there is a second wall device, only manual operation is allowed.

3. If the display reads MAN-SID NOT SET or EXP HOLD-LOCK SID is displayed
when pointing at a wall holder, the collimator is not located at a defined
horizontal SID (see Section 8.7).
4. If a table is tilted while the collimator is pointing down vertically, the display will
read MANUAL TILT. If a table is tilted to 90° in either direction and the collimator
is pointed at the table, the following error messages are possible:
a. EXP HOLD-LOCK SID: If the collimator is not at a defined horizontal

SID.
b. MAN-NO CASS: If there is no cassette in the table.
5. If the table can tilt 90° and be in the same direction as a wall holder, the
collimator logic looks at the table. That is, if a table is at 90° but without a
cassette, the display will read MAN-NO CASS irregardless if a wall holder in the
same direction has a cassette present.
8.11 STEREO/TOMO OPERATION
1. Stereo/Tomographic operation is enabled by a signal sent from the X-ray system

to the Linear IV collimator. Please refer to your specific system documentation
for stereo/tomo details.
2. When STEREO/TOMO is enabled, the collimator is placed in a completely

manual mode of operation. Field size and SID displays are blanked and the
collimator shutter size opening must be set by using the light field.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Linear IV Collimator
Figure 11.1

11.1 MECHANICAL OPERATION
Eureka Linear IV collimators contain two major sets of shutters, long and cross, which
define the absolute X-ray field size. There are also two secondary sets of shutters
which protrude into the port of the X-ray tube to help reduce the effects of off-focus
radiation. The secondary cross shutters are mechanically linked to the primary cross
shutters and follow the action of the primary shutters to provide additional reduction of
off-focus radiation with smaller X-ray field sizes.
Both shutter mechanisms are driven by bipolar stepper motors and the front panel
knobs. Spring loaded gears are used to prevent backlash for accurate, repeatable
shutter positioning.
All Eureka Linear Series collimators have a swivel mount configuration. Detents are
located at 90 degree increments. The collimator may be oriented to any position for
achieving proper X-ray field to cassette alignment for table-top or non-bucky operation.
The shutter mechanism has been precisely aligned with respect to the mounting flange
at the factory. Therefore, the necessity for field alignment of the central ray has been
virtually eliminated.
The shutters may be positioned manually with the remote shutter controls on the
optional remote control unit, or the controls on the front panel.
11.2 ELECTRONIC OPERATION
The collimator electronics reside on a number of printed circuit boards:
- CPU Logic PCB

- Master Board
- Driver Board
- Display Board
- Front Panel
- Five Volt Power Supply
For simpler schematic interpretation, each board has been divided into logical
subsections.
The operating system is represented by the block diagrams of Figure 10.2 a and b.
Refer to section 9 for definitions.

11.3 POWER SUPPLIES
All power supplies are self contained: a transformer with 110, 115, 120, 220, 230, etc.
VAC primary windings supplies AC power for the projection lamp (27 VAC) and for the
stepper motors (28 VDC). Please note the proper incoming voltage (110V or 220V) has
to be selected on the switch on the power supply.
A separate logic supply provides 5 VDC, and +15 VDC for the PC boards.
11.4 CONTINUOUS SID CIRCUITS
The constant current sources associated with Q2 and Q3 on the Linear IV master board
(page 5, 70-08319) provide 5mA nominally to the connected SID monitors. The voltage
developed across the SID monitor potentiometer therefore varies proportionally with
changes in SID. The voltages VSID1 and VSID2 are fed into the A/D Converter (U30,
70-08313). The software interprets the incoming voltages and based on calibration
information, determines the correct SID in inches. This ensures that the collimator
shutters open or close to maintain constant frame size for a given format at all SID’s in
the range of the table vertical carriage.
NOTE: VSID2 is used only if the system has an adjustable height table and a
second SID monitor is installed in the table and connected to the collimator
(CSID2).
11.5 IMAGE RECEPTOR SIZE CIRCUIT
The voltages representing image receptor size (VIRL, VIRC) are fed into differential
amplifiers U11a and U11b (70-08319). These amplifiers are used to provide floating,
balanced inputs for the outboard potentiometers. This circuitry minimizes noise induced
in the sometimes long interconnecting cables between the potentiometers and logic
circuitry.
These voltages are then fed into the A/D converter (U30, 70-08313). The software then
interprets these voltages based on calibration information to determine the correct
image receptor size.
11.6 COLLIMATOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT
The voltages representing the position of the shutters is fed into the A/D converter (U30)
through the unity gain follower amplifiers of U28a and U28b (70-08313). The software
then interprets these voltages based on calibration information and all required inputs
(including SID, IR size) as a position (angle) which produces an associated frame size.
11.7 A/D CONVERTER CIRCUIT
The A/D converter (U30, 70-08313, sheet 4) accepts the analog signals described in

10.4 - 10.6. An internal multiplexor samples the given inputs and stores the results in an
internal FIFO at a preconfigured rate. An interrupt is generated by the A/D converter
when the FIFO is full which causes the CPU to store the current values of the analog
inputs.
This technique requires a minimum of overhead from the CPU and allows for a fast,
accurate means of always recording the current analog input values for use by the
software when required.
11.8 CPU CORE SECTION (Schematic 70-08313 sheet 1, Board 70-08314)
U1 is the microprocessor used in the system. It is a Zilog Z180 running at 10 MHz. It

has a 16 bit address space buffered by U4 and U5, and an 8 bit data bus buffered by
U3.
The logic associated with U7 provides the required signals to determine I/O and Memory
reads and writes.
U8 is a 8K X 8 (6264) static ram used for storing volatile data and the parameter stack.
U6 is a 32K X 8 (28C256) EEPROM and contains the run-time code and is used to store
the nonvolatile parameters determined during calibration. The EEPROM is Hardware
and Software write protected to provide the maximum security against losing data from
false writes which may be encountered during power surges or from noise spikes.
11.9 CPU DISPLAY/KEY BOARD SECTION (70-08313 sheet 2)
U11 provides the correct operational clock speed for U10 the 8279 keyboard display
controller.
U10, U16 and part of U23 supply the required scan and return signals for keyboard
recognition from the front panel and an optional remote keypad.
U10, U9 and the associated drive circuits provide the required display signals to
illuminate the front panel, display board (70-08317), and the optional remote keypad
control.
11.10 CPU INPUT/OUTPUT SECTION (70-08313 sheet 3)
U20 the 74LS138 is a 3 to 8 decoder used to develop the appropriate chip enable
signals used throughout the CPU board.
U21 is an octal latch and is used to maintain signals concerned with discrete SID
switches, Radiographic or Fluoroscopic mode, and Stereo/TOMO mode. The software
checks the latch when the information is required.

U19 an 8255 I/O Controller along with the associated buffer circuits provide for the
discrete input/output requirements of the collimator system. The chip is divided into 3
ports. Port A Monitors the Tilt switch positions, and Spotfilm true signals. Port B
provides the outputs for control of the Stepper Motors through the driver board (70-
08315), and Port C outputs current tilt information and the signal required for Image
intensifier relays and the Exposure hold Relay.
The 8255 is configured in software and is controlled by the software.
11.11 MASTER BOARD (Schematic 70-08319, Board 70-08320)
Sheet 1 contains the schematic for power supply wiring and the STEREO/TOMO
interconnect circuit. The schematic is relatively simple and straight-forward so no
further explanation will be provided.
Sheet 2 contains the circuit schematics for the 28VDC supply for the stepper motors,
and the drive circuitry for the relays associated with PBL OVER_RIDE, EXPOSURE
HOLD, and IMAGE INTENSIFIER selection. Again the circuits here are simple and
straight forward and require no additional explanation.
Sheet 3 contains the circuit schematics for discrete SID determination. U7 (74139) and
U4 (74148) are used to respectively decode and code the current discrete SID switch
status used by the CPU and software. The following logic tables describe the signal
dependencies.
Sheet 4 contains the Image Receptor reference and measurement circuits. U11 is
described in section 10.5. The circuits associated with Q1 and U9 create a power
amplifier circuit which provides a constant voltage to the Image Receptor
potentiometers. U10 and U3 compare the currents associated with a cassette in and
out of the image receptor to provide a signal which tells the CPU whether a cassette is
present in the selected bucky. Relay K5 is controlled by the CPU and connects the
desired bucky tray to the reference and output signals.
Sheet 5 contains the SID circuits described in section 11.4.

Sheet 6 contains the circuit for Radiographic or Fluoroscopic mode selection.

Stereo/Tomographic indication, and table tilt indication. These circuits again are
relatively simple and no further explanation will be given.

11.12 DRIVER BOARD (Schematic 70-08315, Board 70-08316)
Sheet 1 contains the circuit for illuminating and turning of the internal projection lamp.
The logic of U6 and U8 trigger or reset the timer U1 based on current timer status. The
timer-in-turn triggers the optically isolated triac which turns on/off the lamp.
If the lamp is off and the lamp switch is pressed the lamp will turn on until it times out
(approximately 22 seconds) or until it is turned off by pressing the lamp switch again.
Sheet 2 contains the drive and control circuitry associated with the stepper motor drive.
U9 and U7 provide two time bases for manual and automatic motor speeds. The speed
selected is determined through the logic of U2. Automatic speed is used during
automatic sizing cycles of the collimator. A slower manual speed is introduced for
power assisted manual control of the shutter position using the front panel controls or
the optional remote keypad controls.
U3 and U10 provide the logic interface for power H-bridges U11 and U4. Together they
form a current chopper drive for the stepper motors of the cross and long shutters.
Each shutter is controlled by an enable and direction signal fed from the CPU and runs
at the speed determined by the logic of U2 fed from the CPU.
11.13 DISPLAY BOARD (Schematic 70-08317, Board 70-08318)
Sheet 1 contains the schematic of the alpha-numeric display section of the display
board. DS1-DS4 are “smart” alpha-numeric displays which display the ASCII input on
the data bus into the appropriate ASCII character on the selected character of the
display.
The logic of U2 selects the display and the character of the display from information
from the CPU.
U1 and it’s associated circuit provide a dimmer circuit for the displays to maintain a
lower current draw and provide for optimum illumination.
Sheet 2 contains the schematic for the field size and SID numeric displays. The circuit
is simple and consists of driver chips and seven segment numeric displays. The
displays are driven in a multiplexed fashion controlled by the 8279 on the CPU board.
U3 selects which is to be illuminated, U4 contains the information on the segments to be
illuminated.
11.14 FRONT PANEL 70-08152
The front panel consists of matrix of metallic dome keypad switches which are
interpreted by the 8279 on the CPU board for their respective function. There are a
number of indicators on the front panel controlled by the CPU’s 8279 used to indicated
functional status. Section 8.0, Operating Instructions, provides detailed interface
instructions.
