Overview
This procedure describes how to conduct performance checks and maintenance procedures. Use the
procedure in conjunction with the 9900 PM Checklist. Follow the procedures in the order they appear
here and record all required information on the 9900 PM Checklist. File the checklist in accordance with
local procedures.
Safety Procedures
Do not attempt to service or maintain this equipment before reading this entire publication.
NOTE: Safety glasses and safety shoes are required when performing any installation, servicing, or
maintenance of equipment. See the hazard matrix in the following Energized Electrical Work
Procedure for specific PPE relative to energized electrical work.
Hazard Alerts
This document uses three kinds of hazard alerts.
• Danger
• Warning
• Caution
The following table describes each type of hazard.
Alert Circumstances for Use
DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which if not avoided will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided may result in
moderate to minor injury, equipment damage or loss of data.
Electric Shock
WARNING: All electrical circuits or energized parts shall be de-energized and rendered safe
using the appropriate Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure as described in the Safety
Section of the 9900 Service Manual Supplement, unless energized system testing,
positioning, or adjustment is required. When energized work is required, follow the
Energized Electrical Work Procedure that follows.
3
Energized Electrical Work Procedure
Definitions:
NFPA 70E – is a national consensus standard that forms a “Standard for Electrical Safety in the
Workplace.” It is also a part of the National Electrical Code, which has been adopted by OSHA as an
enforcement standard.
Arc-flash – an explosion of electrical energy that can cause burns and other injuries. An arc-flash is
essentially a short circuit through the air.
Qualified Individual – an authorized Field Service Engineer who has been properly trained and certified
(verified) to work on energized equipment. Anyone not meeting these requirements is an un-authorized
individual.
Purpose:
To mitigate the electrical safety hazards (arc-flash) associated with energized system testing, positioning,
or adjustment (calibration) of GEHC/OEC equipment - in accordance with the NFPA 70E consensus
standard.
Training Requirements:
It is the obligation of each GE Field Service Engineer to follow this procedure and understand that failing
to do so can cause serious injury or death.
Only Field Service Engineers who have completed:
• LOTO Authorized [LOTOAth]
• Electrical Safety Authorized [GE-EHS-280-a] and
• LOTO Hand-On Demo [CEP-38]
Training will be considered a “Qualified” employee and permitted to work on energized GEHC/OEC
equipment. All other non-authorized personnel will be considered “Affected” individuals.
In addition, “Qualified” Personnel must be trained on the proper use of voltage testing equipment. The
training must include:
• How to apply the test instrument to the circuit or energized part.
• How to interpret meter readings.
• How to test to confirm the absence of voltage.
• The need to test equipment prior to and after use.
Special Precautions:
Conductive articles of jewelry shall be removed from the hands, wrists, and shirt pockets. Tools and test
equipment shall be visually inspected prior to use. Individuals shall be aware of their surroundings and
4
take precautions to prevent accidental contact with the energized electrical circuits. Each “Qualified”
person is responsible for ensuring that non-authorized individuals remain outside the “Default Approach
Boundary.” When ever possible, protective barriers should be erected around the flash protection
boundary as means to protect “Unqualified” personnel from the effects of an arc blast.
Insulated tools used within the restricted boundary must be rated for the nominal voltage of the system
being worked on.
Only ladders possessing non-conductive side rails (e.g., fiber glass) shall be allowed within the “Limited
Approach Boundary.”
Emergency Procedures: In case of an accident

1. De-energize the system.
2. Immediately call emergency personnel or summon hospital staff.
3. Check the victim for injuries.
4. Care for victim until help arrives.
5. Report incident to manager and/or EHS staff.
Application of Energized Work Procedure:

1. Plan for energized work.
2. Locate energized work procedures.
3. Notify customer of energized work and associated hazards.
4. Inspect and apply proper PPE for hazard class (see Hazard class section).
5. Determine arc-flash boundaries (see Hazard class section).
Electrical Hazards and Hazard Classes:

Hazard: Accidental contact with exposed energized circuits resulting in electrical shock or arc-flash.
GEHC/OEC equipment contains one or more of the following voltage ranges: 0v – 50v, 50v – 120v, 120v –
240v, and 240v – 480v. The appropriate section of this energized work procedure will apply based on the
voltage range to which the authorized employee may be exposed.
5
Voltage 0v – 50v
Task: System testing, positioning, or adjustment (calibration) with exposed and energized conductors.
Minimum Number of Qualified Individuals 1
Limited Approach Boundary Not Specified
Restricted Approach Boundary Not Specified
Prohibited Approach Boundary Not Specified

WARNING: High voltage cables, electrolytic capacitors, and CRTs can retain a dangerous
static charge for long periods after power has been removed. Some devices can
acquire a charge spontaneously without direct contact with other circuitry. Do not
touch these components unless power has been completely removed and they
have been discharged. Equipment that contains high power electrical components
must be serviced only by personnel familiar with proper safety procedures for
working near these components. Disconnect AC power (and battery packs if used)
before discharging static electricity in components such as electrolytic capacitors
and high voltage cables. Failure to heed this message will result in death or severe
personal injury. Allow adequate time for static charges to discharge through
bleeder resistors. Use a high wattage resistor when discharging circuits to avoid
burns. Have someone watch while you work near high voltages. This person must
remain clear of all circuitry and be prepared to turn off the power to the system
and render aid in an emergency.
WARNING: Systems with battery packs can deliver high currents at high voltage. Electric
shock from batteries can cause death or personal injury, including severe burns.
Use extreme caution when working on circuits energized by or located near the
batteries. Batteries are dangerous at all times. Setting the battery pack circuit
breaker to off removes battery current from other circuitry, but does not render the
batteries harmless.
CAUTION: Never operate the system unless all potential equalization conductors (green wire
with a yellow stripe) and related components are fastened in place. Dangerous
electrical shock and improper equipment operation can result.
CAUTION: Remove all metal rings and watchbands before working on system circuitry. Skin
burns and damage from involuntary muscle contractions can result if metal
jewelry shorts electrical circuits.
Ingress of Fluids
Excessive amounts of fluids such as antiseptics, cleaning solutions or body fluids may damage internal
components if they are allowed inside the equipment.
WARNING: The equipment is not rated for watertight operation. Do not allow any liquids to
leak into the equipment where they can cause electric shock, fires, and short
circuits. If leakage does occur, ensure that all internal circuitry is completely dry
before attempting to operate the equipment.
WARNING: Never store or operate the system in the presence of conductive fluids like water or
saline solution unless an approved bagging or draping system adequately protects
the system.

HV Cable Connector/Receptacles Cleaning & Greasing

This procedure provides detailed instructions for cleaning and greasing (or “vapor-proofing”) the High
Voltage (HV) cable anode and cathode connectors (usually called “candlesticks”). Instructions are also
provided for proper HV connector installation.
The most critical assembly operation for HV systems is ensuring that all HV cable connections are
adequately sealed against ingress of moisture, air pockets, etc., to prevent arcing and corona discharge
that can lead to degradation of the insulating materials and connectors.
WARNING: Only competent personnel trained in safety practices involving HV electrical

equipment should attempt to install or reinstall HV components. All equipment
must be turned off and allowed to discharge during installation and removal of
parts. Do not touch or move energized parts. Electrical circuits inside the
equipment use voltages that are capable of causing serious injury or death from
electrical shock, and/or damage to the equipment. Use appropriate precautions.
CAUTION: To prevent ESD damage, ensure that you are properly grounded with a grounded
wrist strap before handling any electronic components sensitive to ESD.
Cleaning Procedures
CAUTION: The following steps assume that all safety procedures have been followed, power
has been switched off, all necessary covers have been removed, and that the HV
cable connectors have been disconnected from the HV tank and X-ray tubeand are
accessible for cleaning and greasing.
CAUTION: Do not touch the connectors with your hands. Oil from them can contaminate the
rubber.
CAUTION: The connectors are not resistant to some solvents, oils and greases. Use only
approved agents to clean and grease the connectors and receptables.
31
Perform these procedures whether the connectors have been previously vapor-proofed (greased) or not.
1. Remove the connectors from the tube and HV tank with the spanner wrench. Only use the
recommended cleaner, Chemtronics Electro-Wash NX Spray, p/n 88-299312-00. Spray
enough of the cleaner on each connector to thoroughly remove any dirt, moisture, hand
prints or any other potential contamination. Do this, even if you cannot detect any
contamination.
2. Use a lint-free Kim Wipe cloth to wipe off and dry the connector(s).
3. Spray the NX spray thoroughly into the interiors (receptacles) of the HV connectors on the
HV tank and X-ray tube, so that all carbon deposits – especially those found down in the
interiors’ far end – can be removed.
CAUTION: Failure to thoroughly clean the interiors (receptacles) of the HV connectors on the
HV tank and X-ray tube (next step) can result in serious equipment malfunction.
Make sure these areas are clean and thoroughly dry. A lint free cloth may be used
for cleanup.
Note: Use the flat, non-serrated side of a plastic knife to clean the receptacles (next step) only if you find
carbon buildup. If no carbon buildup is found, do not use the non-serrated side of the knife to
clean the receptacles.
4. The flat non-serrated side of a plastic food knife used with a Kim Wipe will assist in wiping
and drying the interiors (receptacles) of the HV connectors on the HV tank and X-ray tube.
Do not use your fingers (see Note above).
5. Inspect the interior of each receptacle carefully, using a flashlight and (if necessary) a
dentist mirror. If there are significant arc tracks that cannot be cleaned, replace the High
Voltage Tank or X-ray tube.
6. Inspect the locking rings for scratches on the underside caused by contact with the roll
pins.
7. Also inspect the connector(s) carefully, preferably using a flashlight and/or magnifier. If
the cable shows significant evidence of arcs, such as charring or blackening that cannot
be cleaned off, replace the cable.
Greasing (Vapor-Proofing) Procedures

Note: The following steps assume that: (1) all safety precautions have been followed, (2) power has
been switched off, (3) all necessary covers have been removed, and (3) the HV cable connectors
have been disconnected from the HV tank and X-ray tube are discharged.
CAUTION: Use approved Dow Corning compound. Do not use any other type of grease, and
do not use grease that has been stored in a can. Do not save old grease as it can
become contaminated by moisture, etc.
32
CAUTION: Use only a clean plastic food knife (supplied in the Cable Greasing Kit) to apply and
spread the grease, and wear rubber gloves so your skin does not contact the HV
connectors or grease.
CAUTION: Do not use wood tongue depressors, spatulas, or any kind of brush to apply the
grease. Be careful not to contaminate the connectors with hair, or by handling
them with bare fingers.
CAUTION: Put on rubber gloves (if not already on).
1. Begin by squeezing out of the tube a small bead continuing from the flange all the way
down to the tip on one side of the connectors. The bead should be about 1/8” thick. For
older Pen cables, which fit more loosely, you may need to run two beads on opposite sides
of the connectors to obtain sufficient grease thickness.
2. Using the plastic knife’s serrated edge, spread the grease evenly around the connectors in
both directions until there is an even coating the entire length of the connectors. The
grooves left by the serrations of the knife should be around the circumference of the
connectors, not down its length. Do not spread the grease lengthwise, as this can allow
trapped air paths along the length to occur.
3. Place three very small beads of grease on the tip of the connector, between the contact
sockets, and carefully spread the grease across the flat surface of the tip. Take care to
avoid getting any compound inside the contact sockets. You should have a very thin film
of grease over the flat portion only.
33
Greased Connectors Installation Procedures

The following steps outline how to properly connect the HV cathode and anode connectors to the HV
tank and X-ray tube.
1. To avoid wiping off the grease along one side of the plug as you insert it, it is very
important to insert the connectors straight into the receptacle. Position the connector so
that its contacts are correctly aligned with the socket. Carefully insert the plug into the
connector well, rotating it gently to engage the contacts. When you feel the contacts are
about to engage, rotate the connector about 1/4 turn each way to displace any air paths
that may have been formed.
2. After the contacts have engaged, press firmly down until the connector is fully inserted.
You may need to press down and release a little way several times until the plug is fully
engaged with no air pockets trapped inside.
3. Insert the horseshoe-shaped washer over the connectors flange, making sure that the roll
pins in the connector are aligned with the slots in the washer. Screw on by hand the
threaded locking ring until it is finger-tight. Using a spanner wrench, tighten the threaded
locking ring one half- turn past finger-tight.

X-ray Generator Accuracy Tests

These tests measure the kVp accuracy of the system.
9900 kV Accuracy Measurement using Keithley kV Meter (35050A)
Setup
1. Turn on the system and allow it to boot-up.
2. Turn on the kV meter.
3. Orient the C-arm vertically with the X-ray tube beneath the Image Intensifier.
4. Connect the 35080B kVp divider to the 35050A Keithley dosimeter.
5. Connect the 37617 filter to the kVp divider 35080B.
6. Set the 35080B kVp divider to Run position.
78
7. Power on the dosimeter and press detector select.

8. Select the 50 to 150 kV pack
9. Press the Reset/Measure on the dosimeter.
10. Position the 35080B, with the 37617C Filter installed, 19 in. (48 cm) from the focal spot.
Note: Position the sensor block with its longer axis perpendicular to the axis of the X-ray Tube. This
minimizes the sensitivity to heel effect. To center the filter in the beam take an X-ray and verify
that the two square sensors are centered in the image.
Procedure
WARNING: The following steps produce X-rays. Use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE).
Factory calibration of the Model 35080B kVp Divider is performed with 2.5 mm AI total filtration, so any
other amount of filtration in the beam that is greater or less than 2.5 mm AI requires a filtration and
linearity correction of the apparent reading. The 9900 System has 5.5 mm AI filtration so according to the
Keithley kVp 35080B kVp Divider Operator Manual 2.5 mm AI minus 5.5 mm AI equals –3.0 mm AI. Filter
correction is calculated by multiplying the AI filtration by the filtration effect found in the operator
manual. The actual kV is calculated using the following formula.
• kV measured + (–3.0 × Filtration correction) + Linearity correction = Actual kV
For example, if the kVp Divider reads 90 kV, using the Wide Range filter Pack (37617) then the filtration
effect of 0.5 kV per mm AI is found in the Keithley kVp 35080B kVp Divider Operator Manual. To calculate
the actual kV subtract the system AI filtration from the meter’s normalized AI filtration (2.5 – 5.5 = -3).
Now multiply the result (-3) by the correction factor determined from the Keithley operator manual (-3 ×
0.5 = -1.5). Now add the result to the kVp measured (–1.5 + 90 = 88.5). And finally, obtain the linearity
correction for 90kVp from the Keithley kVp Operator Manual and add it to the result (0.9 + 88.5 = 89.4).
kV Correction Values
Measured kVp Total Correction
@60 -0.4
@90 -0.5
@100 -1.7
@120 -4.25
Note kVp measured + (total correction value = actual kVp.
1. Actual kVp tolerances must meet the following specification: (± (5% or 3kVp) greater of
the two).
2. Set the system to Film mode.
79
3. Enter 50 mAs and take exposures at 60 kVp, 90 kVp and 120 kVp. Use the Total
Correction value provided in the kV Correction Values table to calculate the actual kV for
each exposure (e.g. kVp measured + total correction value = actual kVp. Record the
actual kVp.
4. Enter 200 mAs and take exposures at 60 kVp, 90 kVp and 100 kVp. Use the Total
Correction value provided in the kV Correction Values table to calculate the actual kV for
actual kVp.
5. Set the system to Manual Fluoro mode.
6. Enter 5.0 mA and take exposures at 60 kVp, 90 kVp and 120 kVp. Use the Total
Correction value provided in kV Correction Values table to calculate the actual kV for
actual kVp.
7. Set the mA to the maximum possible setting for each kVp value. Take exposures at 60
kVp, 90 kVp and 120 kVp. Use the Total Correction value provided in kV Correction Values
table to calculate the actual kV for each exposure (e.g. kVp measured + total correction
value = actual kVp.
8. Verify and record in the PM checklist the actual kVp values.
9. If the values are not within specification, perform a filament calibration as described in
the 9900 Service Manual Supplement.

10. Position the 40X5-W Accu-kV™ 19 in. (48 cm) from the focal spot.
Note: Position the sensor block with its longer axis perpendicular to the axis of the X-ray Tube. This
minimizes the sensitivity to heel effect. To center the filter in the beam take an X-ray and verify
that the two square sensors are centered in the image.
Procedure
An offset correction of 3.2 kVp must be subtracted from the kVp value measured using the RadCal 9010
meter to acquire the actual kVp. The correction factor stems from several factors, including photon noise,
peak versus average detection, aluminum equivalence, and target angle.

directions through the entire 143° ± 1 (9-inch II) or 125° ± 1 (12-inch II) orbital arc. Then
engage the clutch and verify that you can no longer orbit the C by hand.
9. Verify that you can use the joystick to move the C-Arm orbitally through the cradle. Verify
that the movement is smooth in both directions through the entire orbital arc.
10. While C is in motion, verify that the mushroom Stop Motion button stops orbital and
rotational movement in both directions. Verify that you hear an audible tone.
11. Reset the button so it pops up, and verify you can again perform motorized orbital
movement of the C.
12. Verify that you can use the joystick to rotate the C on its cradle axis. Verify that the
movement is smooth in both directions. The C should rotate 90 degrees in one direction
and 270 degrees in the other direction through the entire rotational arc.
92
13. While the C is in motion, verify that the Stop Motion button stops C rotation in both
directions. Reset the button and verify you can again perform motorized rotation of the C.
14. Verify that both vertical movement buttons on the RUI Motion PCB operate correctly,
enabling you to move the C-Arm up and down. Motion must be smooth throughout the
vertical movement range.
15. While the C is in motion, verify that the Stop Motion button stops vertical movement in
both directions. Reset the button and verify that you can again perform motorized vertical
movement of the C.
16. Verify that all buttons on the RUI Acquisition PCB operate correctly. They behave just like
the controls on the C-Arm control panel, so refer to the 9900 C-Arm Operators Manual for
more information if you need help.
