1.3. Risks involved with the use of this equipment
LIABILITY:
The producer declines all liability for damages to things and/or persons
due to the equipment being used for reasons other than its intended use
or due to incorrect installation.
This equipment constitutes a high voltage generator that, when used

with a radiogenic tube and when used under the operational conditions
described in the User Manual, issues radiation within the frequency
spectrum typical of X-rays of the power and duration as set via the
command console.
The equipment must be used exclusively for diagnostic radiography and
fluoroscopy.
The user is responsible for the correct use of the generator. The
manufacturer shall supply the necessary information for its correct use
and regarding the risks involved in the use of the high voltage generator,
but declines all liability for the operations and safety and diagnostic
techniques used after the sale.
The manufacturer declines all liability for the over-exposure to radiation
of the operators and/or patients due to incorrect procedures or
operational techniques and declines all liability in the case of incorrect
installation and maintenance of the generator due to noncompliance with
the procedures provided in this Manual or for malfunctions due to
changes made by the installer.
This apparatus is sold with the acknowledgment that the producer, his
agent and representative decline all liability for the over-exposure to
X-rays by patients or personnel.
There exists no design technique that could safeguard operators or
servicing personnel who do not comply with the safety regulations.
Only authorized and suitably trained personnel is authorized to
operated these X-ray generators.
The technical service personnel must be aware of the dangers associated
with the maintenance of high voltage equipment and the danger
associated with high doses of X-rays.
Exposure to X-rays may cause injury to health with cumulative effects
that could surface after many months or even years.
Both the maintenance and hospital personnel who use this machine
should avoid exposure to the primary beam and be aware of the
dangers of the secondary beam and diffused radiation.

PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION
This apparatus contains an inverter system. Its oscillation frequency
(from few Hz to several kHz) may fall within the audibility range of the
human ear.
A high-pitched note will therefore be issued during the radiography
phase.
Before installing the power rack, the following regulations should be

followed:
• ensure that the equipment is installed in a room at a suitable
distance from power installations such as large conditioning systems,
liquid pumping systems or from large electromechanical installations
that could cause significant disturbance
• ensure that the TV chain cables do not run close to the generator
cables and that no function of the TV chain is supplied with power by
the suppliers in the generator. These may be disturbed by the noise
produced by the inverter
• the rack must be located approximately 60 cm. from the wall from all
sides, and all sides must be quickly and easily accessible to facilitate
the work of servicing personnel.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING

• a number of large electrolytic capacitors, are located in the mains
interfacing section at the back of the rack (behind the General
Terminal Boards). The load stored during the functioning of the
equipment remains active for a brief period of time even after the
machine has been switched off.
If it is necessary to work in this vicinity, ensure that at least
10 seconds have elapsed after the machine has been switched off in
order to avoid contact with the loaded capacitors.
This ensures that the capacitors are no longer charged
• do not perform any fluoroscopy or X-rays when the high voltage
cables are not connected. This could damage the H.V. transformer
and the inverter
• Before checking or reconnecting the H.V. cables from the generator or
from the X-ray tube, ensure that the generator is switched off and
that the H.V. cables have been discharged by placing the cable
terminals on a metallic part connected to ground for at least
5 seconds.

During a sequence of radiography or fluoroscopy exposures, either

normal or pulsed, once 80% of the maximum kHUT of the anode is
reached, this contact is closed, indicating that the maximum limit is
being reached.
This contact, which is normally open, is present on the GTB 300 general
terminal board, at points 312-313 (PCB 9999102800 paragraph 12.2).
We recommend a sound or luminous signal be connected to this contact
NOTE:
/ The kHUT percentage is displayed on the leds on the command console.
When the safety limit has been reached the exposure sequence is
interrupted by the microprocessor.
This contact may therefore be used to connect an accessory (buzzer,

lamp, etc.) to provide further information to the user.

SERVICE MANUAL
Installation
4.10. Input signals connections
These are signals input to the generator from external devices or from
push-buttons or pedals.
The majority of these signals are activated when polarized at 0Vdc.
The external contacts that perform these closures must be suitable for a
continuous voltage of 24Vdc and a current of 10 mA.
4.10.1. Door safety contacts
It is possible to connect a series of contacts relative to the doors of entry

to the room where the equipment is installed. These contacts are usually
closed and located on the GTB 400 general terminal board at input
points 435 0V dc and 436 (PCB 9999102900 paragraph 12.2).
When input 436 is not polarized at 0 V dc, the preparation, radiography
or fluoroscopy exposures are suspended and the message DOOR
SAFETY is displayed on the command console.
If there are no door contacts to connect, the above two terminals must be
short-circuited.

4.10.2. kV – mA adjustment analogic input in automatic fluoroscopy
The possibility of an analogic or digital command is dispose for this

function of increase or decrease of the kV-mA of automatic adjustment
fluoroscopy.
• Digital command (active at 0):
– common GTB 439 (0V dc power supply)
– increases kV-mA GTB 440
– decreases kV-mA GTB 441
PCB 9999102900 (paragraph 12.2)
• Analogic command:
The inputs for analogic adjustment in continuous and pulsed
fluoroscopy (analogic signal 0 / 1.4 V dc) are:
– GTB 401 0Vdc
– GTB 402 V ref
PCB 9999102900 (paragraph 12.2).
The system works as follows:
– if V ref = balance voltage (700 mV) stabilized system
– if V ref > balance voltage (700 mV) dose increased
– if V ref < balance voltage (700 mV) dose decreased.
The Vref stabilization value and the adjustment range may be
selected during installation in the configuration procedures of the
workstations as described in paragraph 9.2.
During the configuration procedure of the fluoroscopy dose level, the
parity value [C] must be input (the parity level is the voltage value for
which we consider the optimum dose level reached).
This value is typical to the TV camera or the TV system being used,
and the variation interval is 0/1.4 V dc.
It is therefore necessary to input a variation range of this signal [B],
i.e. the window around the parity value on which the signal changes.
The variation interval is +/-10 Volts. This couple of values is good for
both the pulsed and the continuous fluoroscopy. In addition, if the
adjustment is unstable, adjust the last digit of the increasing values
variation interval until it is stabilized, and do the same for the last
digit of the parity value.
The typical values for standard VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI equipment
are:
– [B] = +0703
– [C]= 1003
This means that the parity value is set at 0.7 Volts and the band at
2 Volts. Values greater than 2 V are normalized to 2 V.
If the adjustment is unstable even if the Kp value is changed, a
number from 0 to 9 may be introduced into the last digit of [B] and
[C] using the following rule:
– increase the last [B] digit if the adjustment is unstable
– increase the last [C] digit if the signal is disturbed.

To select between continued and pulsed fluoroscopy, the input on the

general terminal board GTB 400 (PCB 9999102900 paragraph 12.2) at
point 434 must be open (continued fluoroscopy) or polarized at 0 V dc at
point 433 (pulsed fluoroscopy).
The pulsed fluoroscopy function is possible with a digital acquisition
system.
4.10.5. Decrease in step digital angiography
The activation of this function is made by polarization point 452 of the

general terminal board GTB 400 (PCB 9999102900 paragraph 12.2) at
0 V dc.
When this function is active, at each radiography preparation release the
kV value changes in function of the values programmed at the beginning
of the program.
The program can perform a total of 5 reductions.
The values are displayed on the first line of the FIP.

4.10.8. Tomography program
To activate the tomography program whose timing is automatically set in

function of the speed and angle selected on the tomograph, the relative
inputs must be polarized to 0 V dc.
For each program, two inputs must be simultaneously active: 1 input is
relative to the speed and 1 input is relative to the angle.
The points on the GTB 400 terminal board (PCB 9999102900 paragraph
12.2) relative to the tomographic program are:

Configurations
5.2.9. Pulsed fluoroscopy
Pulsed fluoroscopy is a fluoroscopy with a high current value (from 30 to

300 mA), very short exposure "pulses" (from 2 to 10 milliseconds) and a
rapid frequency (from 1 to 30 exposures per second).
The "pulses" are synchronized with the filming system and image
digitalization via the potter's feedback signal [IRP].
The voltage and current values are presented on the fluoroscopy display
and when this mode is active, substitute the continuous fluoroscopy
values.
• Switch-over from continuous to pulsed fluoroscopy:

– Activation of the input signal [ICS] (GTB 318 – PCB 9999102800
paragraph 12.2)
• Variation of the kV-mA value:

– the current (mA) value is fixed and corresponds to the value set
during the configuration phase
– the voltage (kV) value may be adjusted manually or automatically
via the analogic inputs as for continuous fluoroscopy
– the value of each pulse corresponds to that set during the
configuration phase.
5.2.10. AEC device

5.2.11. Radiography buttons activation
The "preparation" and "radiography" functions may be activated from the

console or from an accessory connected to the general terminal board
GTB 400 (PCB 9999102900 paragraph 12.2).
The following configurations are possible:
• C = "prep" and "radiography" activated via the console’s commands
• P = "prep" and "radiography" activated via the commands on the
GTB 400
• C-P = "prep" and "radiography" activated via both the console and
the GTB 400.
To activate the function from the console, press the "prep" button.
To activate the function from the terminal board, press the "radiography"
button.
5.2.12. Unrequested X-rays - Safety
This safety function is activated via the AEC blackening key (+).
The activation is evidenced by the lighting up of the 7 AEC blackening
leds.
This safety function is deactivated via the AEC blackening key (-).
With this function activated, the radiography and fluoroscopy exposures
are possible only if the IPD input signal is active (GTB 453 – PCB
9999102900 paragraph 12.2 - connected to 0 V dc).

SERVICE MANUAL
Configurations
5.3. Automatic exposure device (AEC) parameters
When this function is activated as described in paragraph 5.2.10, the

following data must be memorized.
This must be repeated for each one of the devices installed.
5.3.1. Number of dominants
The number of dominants in a chamber may be one or three.
5.3.2. Chamber number
The chamber number is in function of the connector to which it is

connected.
The chamber number must be associated to the workstation.
5.3.3. Base sensitivity of the chamber and correction curves
• Sensitivity: this value goes from 1 to 9999.

This value determines the base blackening value according to the
screen/film combination. Three different combinations to which to
associate different blackening values are possible.
• kV Correction Curve: this adjustment compensates the blackening

according to the set kV value. This function comprises 2 curves with
different behaviours in function of the kV value (< = 80 kV and > 80
kV).
5.3.4. Minimum level of instant dose
This is the minimum level, expressed in millivolts, of the instant dose

under which radiography is blocked.
This safety measure makes it possible to interrupt an X-ray that would
reach the maximum time limit due to incorrect radiological parameters
that do not generate a dose that could integrate the measuring chamber.

SERVICE MANUAL
Configurations
5.4. Radiogenic tubes characteristics
Radiogenic tubes with a rotating anode and two high voltage polarities
may be connected to the Genius HF generator.
The starter supplied with the generator allows the anode to rotate at
3000 revs.
A high speed starter (9000 revs.) may be installed upon request.
The use of the high or low rotation speed depends upon the maximum
load or on the selections made by the operator.
5.4.1. Maximum voltage of the radiogenic tube
The maximum kV value allowed by the radiogenic tube must be input

into the computer and this data will be used to protect the tube.
5.4.2. Anode rotation speed
The following three configurations are possible with the high speed
starter:
1. Only normal speed (3000 revs.).
2. Only high speed (9000 revs.).
3. Both speeds (3000 and 9000 revs.) according to the load or selection.
NOTE:
/ If an incorrect value is selected (e.g. high speed with normal starter
installed), the data is accepted but the function will not be activated. If
the "hs" value has been input (paragraph 5.2.3), the anode will turn at
high speed at that workstation, irregardless of the number input in this
field.

SERVICE MANUAL
Configurations
5.4.3. Anode cooling curve
The Anode's cooling data expressed in kilo-thermal-units (kHU) at the

following times must be input as follows:
• 0 minutes maximum thermal capacity storage
• 2 minutes thermal residue after 2 minutes
• 8 minutes thermal residue after 8 minutes.
In some cases the cooling curves are expressed in kilo-joules (kJ also
called kilo Watt secs. kWs).
The conversion value to transform this unit in kHU is as follows:
kHU = 1,33 x kJ

SERVICE MANUAL
Configurations
5.4.4. Maximum anode load
This table makes it possible to check the maximum load.

The maximum power values allowed for each radiogenic tube and each
focal spot on the tube must be input.
When the double speed (3000 and 9000 revs.) anode rotation system has
been selected, the maximum load values of the tube for both rotation
speeds must be input.
The maximum loads for the following combinations must then be input:
• Small focus normal speed SF NS
• Small focus high speed SF HS
• Large focus normal speed SF NS
• Large focus high speed SF HS.
When the rotation system for only one speed is required, only the power
values referring to that speed and for both focal spots shall be input.
The power values for each combination required must be input for the
following radiography time values:
• 0,010 seconds
• 0,100 seconds (nominal power)
• 0,200 seconds
• 0,500 seconds
• 1 seconds
• 2 seconds
• 3 seconds
• 5 seconds
The maximum load curves are normally given as a series of curves with
different kV values that vary in function of time (abscises) and of the
current value (mA) (ordinates).
The calculation of power in time must therefore be performed. To obtain
this value, the value of the maximum current value allowed with a
voltage of 100 kV must be detected from the maximum load curve
relative to the focus and rotation speed, for each of the above eight
radiography times.
Then the kV value (100) is multiplied by the value of the current
displayed expressed in A read on the small curve, to obtain the kW value
for that particular value of radiography time.

We see from the load curve that at 100 kV the radiography mA limit value
is 395.
So proceeding with the following calculation:

kW = 100 kV x 1 radiography (A) = 100 x 0.395 = 39.5
The 39.5 kW value will be input into the computer with four significant

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
6.2. High voltage kV coefficient value
If the kV value detected by an instrument outside the generator is

different to the set value, it can be corrected using this coefficient.
Calibration of the kV is made at the manufacturer's upon the final
testing and verified via a standard instrument.
The base correction value (100) can be changed using a lower datum to
reduce the value of the high voltage kV.
A higher kV will increase the value.

The default value is 100. This means that the multiplying factor of
the theoretical value of the kV is 1.
With this condition, the real value of the high voltage kV is equal to
the calibration value obtained during the testing of the equipment.
To verify the correspondence between the set kV values and the

If the value of the kV reading is less than 2% that of the set value,
the number to input is 102.
The same concept is used if the voltage value is higher.
The percentage error in excess must be calculated and this
percentage detracted from 100.

6.3. Filament heating characteristic values
These are the current values for the filament heating expressed in amps
and obtained from the filament characteristics supplied by the
manufacturer of the radiogenic tube.
These values must be input into the computer and are used to inform the
relevant circuit to regulate the value of the filament heating current.
6.3.1. Stand-by current
This current value must be given for both focuses and for all the tubes
installed.
The typical stand-by current value for tubes with filament of a maximum
current of 5.5 A and 2.5 A.
In all cases, this is the value that must be set so as not to cause an issue
of high voltage current.
6.3.2. Minimum radiography current
This value corresponds to the value of the filament current that enables
us to obtain approximate 6 mA in radiography on the small focus and
25 mA in radiography for the large focus.
This value is obtained from the filament heating curves given by the
manufacturer of the radiogenic tube and may be adjusted during the
calibration procedure of the radiography current.
6.3.3. Maximum radiography current
The maximum filament current in radiography is a value given by the

manufacturer of the radiogenic tube.
The typical value is 5.5 A.
The minimum and maximum filament current value for a particular
focus is used by the computer for the calculation of the heating current
during the radiography preparation.
If one of the two values is changed after calibration is made, all the
values obtained during said calibration are cancelled.
The calibration of that particular focus and that particular tube must
therefore be repeated.
Caution must be taken to ensure that the maximum filament current
value does not exceed 8.5 A.

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
6.4. Fluoroscopy heating calibration
Before commencing calibration exposure, the maximum heating current

value must be input.
This current value ranges between 2800 mA and 3400 mA for filaments
with a maximum heating current of 5.5 Amps.
As explained in paragraph 6.3.1, the preheating value of the large focus
must not cause an issue of current.
If this occurs, calibration must be performed otherwise it would be
impossible to bring the fluoroscopy current to the minimum value of
0.5 mA.
In this case, the relative alarm messages will be generated during
fluoroscopy calibration (see paragraph 10.1).
The maximum kV value must also be selected from the range
90 - 120 kV.

reaches during fluoroscopy calibration.
It is possible to change this value (from 90 to 120) using the keys
>5R (decrease) and Reset min. fluoroscopy (increase)
• display mA: the maximum heating value that the microprocessor
reaches during fluoroscopy calibration.
Transfer from one kV step to the next is generated by reaching
the set heating value. This value may be changed using the DSI 2
key to increase, or the DS1 key to decrease.
8. When the key M1 is pressed, the word READY appears on the FIP.
At this point the fluoroscopy procedure is ready to begin. By
shortcircuiting via pushbuttons or the accessory connected to points
GTB 427 and GTB 429 exposure commences.
The automatically set values are:
• kV = 50 kV (value indicated by the fluoroscopy kV display)
• mA = stand-by value of the small focus.
When fluoroscopy starts, the mA fluoroscopy reading must be
between 0.10 and 0.25 mA. This shows that the two focuses are at a
non-emission value.
The small focus heating is automatically increased and at the same
time the heating and radiogenic tube emission values are read and
memorized.
The emission value is given on the fluoroscopy mA display. Once the
maximum heating current value fluoroscopy is reached, the heating
value is automatically brought to stand-by value and the kV value to
80 kV.

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
The above sequence is repeated and once the maximum mA values

are reached, the kV are set to the maximum value. Fluoroscopy is
automatically stopped at the end of the last cycle and the FIP
displays the message "FLUOROSCOPY CALIBRATION OK".
Release the rays command and press the Sturdy Build button to quit
the calibration routine.
NOTE:
/ The release of the fluoroscopy command blocks emission and
consequently blocks the heating detection procedure. The procedure is
resumed at the point of interruption via the fluoroscopy command.

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
6.5. Radiography small focus calibration
The small focus calibration consists in the memorization of the data

relative to the filament heating values in function of the kV values.
These data are used during the radiography preparation phase to set the
filament heating value in function of the selected kV and mA.
A table containing the emission current values for the different heating
values and voltages is therefore necessary.
To generate this table inside the memory, the interval between the
minimum and maximum radiography current has been divided into 9
equal parts. Radiographs with different kV values must be performed for
each one of the ten current values derived therefrom.
The kV - mA couples values detected at each emission are memorized as
described here below.
A minimum of 3 value couples must be recognized for each filament
current value.
This makes it possible to calculate 3 coefficients for each one of the ten
filament current values which shall be called STEPS.
WARNING:
1 Because this is a manual calibration, data for the performance of
calibration radiographs will be provided throughout this entire phase.
It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the limit values of the
radiogenic tube's maximum load are not exceeded.
Forecast of the kV and mA values obtained in the next exposure shall be

made as per the following description. Consequently, once he has
obtained the forecasted values, the operator shall decide whether it is
possible to proceed, or, if the data risk reaching or exceeding the
maximum load values, to finish the STEP.
With regard to the kV value, the equipment will propose the value to be
used, while the forecast of the mA emission value linked to the STEP
depends upon the value of the STEP itself.
At STEP 0, the filament is heated to the minimum radiography current
value and the forecast value is in function of this data. Once the first
exposure with STEP 0 at 40 kV has been made, the forecast of the
current value for the second exposure at the same STEP at 60 kV will be
an increase of 20% of the value read during the first radiography.
The increase of 20% will also be valid for the successive increases of high
voltage. The forecast of current increase for the successive STEPS shall
be of 50% of the current value detected at 40 kV in the previous STEP.
The calibration method described is the method for a tube whose
characteristics are not contained in the EEprom tube library.
This method is called the "manual method".
If the tube to be calibrated is contained in the library, the tube's data can
be loaded and, if necessary, the basic calibration data can be changed.

8. To perform this procedure it is necessary to measure the radiography

mA value.
Use an mA meter connected to the "LINK" connector (after having
removed the jumper) located above the high voltage transformer on
the PCB 8502 (paragraph 12.3).
WARNING:
1 Under no circumstances must exposure be made without the closure of
the "LINK" jumper.
This could damage the power inverter.
Once the tube's data has been loaded in memory, perform a

radiography with the following data.
60 kV - 100 mA - 40 ms.
The following three conditions may occur after this operation:
1. The generator is switched off by the circuit breaker.
Switch on again and reduce the coefficient significantly (e.g. from
1.000 to 0.900).
2. The generator is blocked by "mA Safety".
– The mA readings are too low, i.e. lower than those set. In this
case increase the coefficient.
– The mA readings are high, i.e. higher than those set. In this
case decrease the coefficient.
3. The generator Performs the radiography.
Correct the calibration coefficient if the mA value does not lie
within the limits required (10%) performing a radiography
releasing the prep. at each exposure and waiting for the
generator to return automatically to the limits. Repeat this point
until the desired mA value is reached.
Perform the radiographs with all the mA and kV values to verify
that all are within the desired tolerance limits.

The first line of the FIP displays the following information:
STEP 0 = 3600 kV = 040 kV = 000 mA = 0000

10 mA 40 kV 100 ms
– STEP 0 = 3600: indicates the number of the selected step and

the filament current heating value (3.6 A) used in this STEP
– kV = 040: indicates the kV value that will be used in the next
radiography
– kV=000 mA=0000: are couples of values that will be read by the
computer during radiography calibration and displayed in the
appropriate spaces. These values are given without decimals.
It is possible to change the kV value with which to perform the next
radiography using the + and - kV keys. This change may be
necessary to reduce the kW value and keep away from the maximum
load value.
The second line of the FIP gives the following information:

– mA RADIOGRAPHY: this means that the circuit breaker that
controls the flow of current during radiography is set at a
threshold of 100 mA increased by 40%. This value may be
changed up to 300 mA via radiography mA selection keys.
The manual setting of the current value must be made by
selecting a value close to the forecast current value.
WARNING:
1 The selection of a high current value with respect to the real value may
be due to a kV waveform with a strong oscillation at the start. The
selection of a low current value with respect to the real value may be due
to a kV waveform with a high ripple (greater than 10%) or to the
automatic switch-off of the equipment due to the circuit breaker (Led
DL21, PCB 9999103000 Safety Supervisor, paragraph 12.1).
It is useful to remember that the protection of the radiography

current is set as follows:
– 10 / 100 nominal mA: protected with a current of 100 mA
increased by 40%. Breaker intervention = 140 mA
– 150-200 nominal mA: protected with a current of 200 mA
increased by 40. Breaker intervention = 280 mA
– 320 nominal mA: protected with a current of 320 mA increased
by 40%. Breaker intervention = 440 mA
– 0.100 s radiography time: this time may be changed using the
radiography time selection keys.

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
The selection of the radiography time during calibration depends

upon the speed of the instruments used to detect the kV and mA
couple values. Using the automatic reading system of the generator
the time of 0.1 seconds (1 tenth of a second) is optimum.
For the calibration of the large focus with high voltage current values
that exceed 300 mA, it is preferable to reduce the exposure time to
0.05 seconds because for greater times the instant current value
decreases.
As described here below, the calibration radiographs must be
performed using current values lower than 10 mA for the small focus
and lower than 32 mA for the large focus. When deciding the value of
the calibration radiography time, it is appropriate not to change the
times of the exposures within the same STEP.
If the high speed selection key LED is lit, this means that the
9000 revs. speed has been selected.
During this phase the operator decides which mode to accept (high or
low speed) according to the forecasted radiography values.
At the end of radiography the state or alarm state is displayed in
numeric codes on the fluoroscopy minutes numerical display.
At the end of radiography, the kV and mA values detected are
associated to the step of the kV used. A new kV value must then be
selected.
11. When the kV is changed (by pressing the key ORG 3), the FIP
changes as follows:
STEP 0 = 3600 kV = 060 kV = 000 mA = 0000

10 mA 60 kV 100 ms
Perform radiography with a voltage value of 60 kV.

The above procedure must also be applied to this phase.
12. Press key ORG 3 to increase the kV value.
STEP 0 = 3600 kV = 080 kV = 000 mA = 0000

10 mA 80 kV 100 ms
Perform radiography with a voltage value of 80 kV.

The above procedure must also be applied to this phase.
3 couples of values are memorized at this point and it is possible to
proceed to the next STEP.

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
We recommend however, to proceed with the calibration of the STEP

with the kV values of 100, 120 and 140, as proposed automatically
by the appliance in order to memorize a greater quantity of data and
guarantee a higher precision.
Confirm the data by pressing key M1.
13. The following will be displayed on the FIP:
STEP 0 = 3600 kV = 140 kV = 000 mA = 0000

+AAA.AAAAA +BBB.BBBBB +CCC.CCCCC
The real kV and mA fields (indicated as zero in the figure) will, in fact
indicate the values measured with the last exposure before pressing
the M1 key.
The second line of the FIP displays the three coefficients A, B and C
that were calculated during the last exposure.
By pressing the M1 key, the three calculated coefficients, including
their positive or negative sign, are memorized.
A beep confirms that we are ready to proceed with the calibrations
and with another STEP.
14. The following STEP is then proposed.
The procedure considered until now is valid for all STEPS through to
STEP 9.
Each time we confirm the values of the coefficients calculated by the
computer, the successive STEP will be proposed up the last which is
STEP 9.
If the maximum load of the radiogenic tube does not allow all the
STEPS to be completed, this is because the maximum radiography
current for the filament is too high.
Changing this value means the resetting of all the coefficients
calculated and the consequent total repetition of the calibration
exposures.
It is not necessary to complete the calibration of all ten STEPS but,
as mentioned above, the greater the volume of data memorized the
higher the precision of the emission during normal operations.
As well as being influenced by the thermal state of the anode and the
cathode of the radiogenic tube, the precision of the radiography
current value depends upon the precision of the calculations that the
appliance will perform during the radiography preparation phase
NOTE:
/ To reduce the effect due to the variation of the emission current, we
recommend performing the first radiographs approximately 30 minutes
after the focus has been switched on from stand-by.
To quit the program at the end of the calibration, press the Sturdy Build
key and set the service switch on the MPU to OFF.

6.6. Radiography large focus calibration
The procedure for the calibration of the large focus is more or less the
same as for the small focus.
Follow the procedure as per the preceding paragraph, with the following
variations:
1. Select the large focus when the FIP displays the selection of the focus
to be calibrated.
2. The minimum emission current value at STEP 0 is not between 6 and
7 mA as for the small focus but between 20 and 25 mA.
This is because the heating values for a minimum value of 32 mA in
radiography are calculated.
3. The default value of the radiography calibration mA is not 100 mA as
for the small focus but 300 mA.
This value may be changed from 32 to 800 (1000 mA in the case of
the Genius HF 80 kW).
The circuit breaker value is the value selected on the display
increased by 40%.
4. Special attention must be given to the forecast value so that the
selection of the radiography times is such as not to cause exposures
with an overload of anodic power.
This could occur for high filament current values (high STEPS).
Short time exposure values are preferable for these STEPS.
Preferable times are lower or equal to 0.1 s with an optimum time
being 0.05 s.
5. If it is impossible to memorize three valid kV-mA couples with high
heating values and consistent emission current variation with voltage
values between 40 - 60 - 80 kV, the voltage value automatically
proposed by the program can be changed using the +/- kV keys.
With this possibility, the first exposure of the STEP can be performed
at 40 kV (a value automatically proposed by the program), the second
at 50 kV (set manually instead of 60 kV) and the third at 60 kV.
In this way the emission current variations due to increases in the kV
values will be limited and will not exceed the 1000 mA or 1200 mA
emission values that automatically block radiography.
The 800 mA current is the blocking limit for the Genius 65 kW
generator.
The 1000 mA current is the blocking limit for the Genius 80 kW
generator.

The blocks represent the physical subdivision of the generator (see
Figure 6-3).
• Block 1
This block constitutes the interface between the inverter with the
mains. Here there are the three-phase jumper safety switches, the

enable the transfer of power to the inverter.
• Block 2
This block constitutes the power inverter and the converter control

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
6.8.1. kV regulation loop
Refer to the Figure 6-2 for a better understanding of the description here
below.
The kV regulation loop is completely analogic.
This means that the microprocessor does not enter into this regulation
directly. It recognizes the real value of the KV and the state of the
generator thanks to the digital signals received from the inverter.
When a preparation is required, the microprocessor prepares the signals

[IRA], [IRC].
It then checks that the [IPW] and the [IUX] signals are active.
The kV reference value is then set under the form of an analogic signal
(OKV) with a scale of 1 V dc = 20 kV.
All the signals are for the external devices and the generator supervisor.
When the [OHV] signal is sent to the CCB radiography commences.

From this moment until the end of the exposure, the kV control is made
by the CCB.
The microprocessor waits for the [IRM] signal. If this should fail during
radiography, the state of alarm is activated and all the operating cycles
are interrupted.
The same check is made on the analogic signal [IKV].
When the [OHV] signal reaches the CCB, the kV ref. signal (OKV) is
compared with the real kV value.
The "regulated" signal reaches a voltage - frequency converter generating
the [FRE] signal.
The [FRE] signal is the real command signal of the power devices.
Before reaching the IGBT, it passes through an activation logic and
finally becomes either [GF1-4] (command of one side of the jumper) or
[GF2-3] (command of the other side of the jumper).
If 166kV is exceeded in output, an alarm signal blocks the inverter.

SERVICE MANUAL
Calibration
6.8.2. mA regulation loop
Refer to the Figure 6-2 for a better understanding of the description here
below.
The mA regulation loop is completely controlled by the microprocessor.
This means the microprocessor recognizes the mA emission value that at
all times during exposure.
The microprocessor can change the emission value by changing the
filament heating value.
The measurements involved in this regulation are:
• Current measurement circuit
– (ich) for high radiography current
– (icm) for medium radiography current
– (ifc) for fluoroscopy current.
The current signal is taken from the H.V. transformer and taken to
the CCB by the J4 connector.
Here, it is measured by a circuit and amplified according to the
following scales:
– (ich): 10 V dc = 1500 mA
– (icm): 10 V dc = 150 mA
– (icl): 10 V dc = 10 mA.
• MPU card
A/D of the microprocessor, used to convert the analogic signal of the
mA to a digital signal and, D/A, to generate the reference analogic
signal of the filament heating.
• Inverter filament driver card
This card provides for the heating of the filaments.
In order to recognize the characteristics of the tube emission, the

microprocessor must recognize the tube calibration.
In this way it can calculate the value at which it must heat the filament
for the kV-mA couple selected by the operator. The microprocessor
requires this value only for the start of the exposure and this value must
be as near as possible to the value of the selected mA. After a few
seconds from the start of exposure the microprocessor starts to monitor
the emission mA values and consequently regulates the heating.
If the heating mA value is too far from that selected (25% for low values,
12.5% for high values), the microprocessor halts radiography and enters
into alarm mode. This it because it decides that regulation is no longer
possible for reaching the correct emission value and therefore achieve a
good result.
The alarm state may occur for two reasons:
– uncalibrated tube
– incorrect reading of the emission mA values caused by a malfunction
in the mA measurement loop or heating regulation loop.

7.2. Signals
The connection between the Genius HF and the VDR 2000 digital system
has been optimized and simplified thanks to the highly advanced
software developed.
Few signals are therefore used to synchronize the generator with the
digital system.
These in/out signals are present on the PCB.

SERVICE MANUAL
7.4. Configuration program
As described in paragraph 5.5 the workstation on which the digital

system is operating must be configured.
In summary, the digital system must operate with:
• Continued and pulsed fluoroscopy
• Max. continuous current = 5 mA
• Pulsed current = 30 mA
• Max. voltage for both = 120 kV
• Regulation for both = analogic
• Regulation mode = T1 (single channel for both continuous and
pulsed)
• Regulation coefficient proportional for both Kp = from 20 to 25
depending on the system
• Correction activation window around the parity value B = 1003
• Reference signal value C = +0703.
In the configuration operations the dose level for the fluoroscopy must be
regulated.
The parity value [C] defined as that voltage value for which we consider
reached the optimal dose level is intrinsic to the TV camera or TV system
used. The variation interval is 1.5 Volts.
The variation range of this signal [B] must then be set, i.e. the window
around the parity value on which the signal is piloted.
This couple of values must be input for both the pulsed and the
continuous fluoroscopy.
As mentioned, the typical values of these data are B=1003 and C=+703
as they are closely linked to the VDR 2000 digital device used.
The above numbers are compound numbers. Their significance is as
follows:
• C= ±abcd
a= thousands of equal mV
b= hundreds of equal mV
c= tens of equal mV
d= sampling interval with values from 0 = 16 msecs to
9 = 200 msecs
• B= efgh
e= window for reading in thousands mV around a parity value
f= window for reading in hundreds mV around a parity value
g= window for reading in tens mV around a parity value
h= dead band with values from 0 = 7 bit to 9 = 210 bit.

SERVICE MANUAL
7.5. 0 points technique
The term Zero Point Technique indicates a working technique where the
radiography parameters are automatically set by the system on the basis
of the value obtained either manually or automatically during
fluoroscopy.
The fluoroscopy kV value is automatically regulated according to the
density of the patient during fluoroscopy.
The radiography time displayed on the generator in this mode is to be
considered as the limit time.
7.5.1. Activation at a workstation
The 0 point technique may be activated at the desired workstation.

Activation or deactivation of this mode is made by pressing the key +s.
The 00 value indicates that the transfer is not active.
Any value other than 00 activates this function.
kV GRA 00
7.5.2. Use of the 0 point technique
If the kV transfer mode has been activated at the selected workstation,

one of the three keys DS1 or DS2 or DS3 must be pressed in order to use
the associated transfer tables.

Alarm Description
More than 20 seconds have elapsed from the request for

129 preparation without radiography being made
During preparation the microprocessor requests the heating of the

131 filament (olf) or (osf) and checks that the reply from the Filament
Inverter Driver is correct (ilf) or (isf).
If the current value obtained is different from the value requested,
the microprocessor halts the preparation and enters into alarm
state.
Check:
• the filament heating signal output from the microprocessor
(olf) or (osf). If incorrect, check the route:
PCB 9999102700 MPU è PCB 9999102600 inverter filament
driver
• for malfunction in the PCB 9999102600 (inverter filament
driver)
• for malfunction in the transmission of the feedback signal (ilf)
or (isf) PCB 9999102600 inverter filament driver è PCB

Signals the failed closure of the main contactor. The

134 microprocessor checks the [IPW] to verify closure, i.e. the
presence of 540 Vdc. If [IPW] does not activate check:
• that the mains line contactor located on the front of block 4
(inverter control board and line supply interfacing) is closed
and that there is voltage on the DC-RAIL (capacitors on the
back of block 4) If this is correct check the [IPW] signal and
its route: PCB 5811 snubber and service è PCB 9999102500

SERVICE MANUAL
Alarm messages
Alarm Description
During preparation, the inverter filament card does not make the
135 [ICF] signal active. This means that the selected filament has not
exceeded the 2.5 amps for heating. Therefore:
• there is a problem in the inverter filament driver PCB
9999102600
• there is a problem in the [ICF] route through to the
microprocessor: PCB 9999102600 (inv. fil. driver) è PCB
9999102700 MPU.
During radiography, the microprocessor sees the [IKV] signal

136 become active. This means that the general safety mode is
activated. DO NOT RESET the alarm and check that the red led is
lit on PCB 9999102500 CCB.
This condition means that:
• 166 kV have been exceeded
• the current has exceeded 1300 mA
• the current on bridge IGBT has exceeded 850 mA
• the clock on the inverter control card PCB 9999102500 CCB
does not function correctly.
The [IUB] signal is not active in preparation. This means that the
137 IGBT bridge is not balanced. Check the following:
• the snubbers
• the IGBT
• the circuit that performs this check
• a problem in the [IUB] route through to the microprocessor
PCB 5800 IGBT driver è PCB 9999102500 è PCB

If during radiography there is a fall of the kV values and this is

140 detected by the microprocessor, the [IRM] signal becomes inactive.
This is usually caused by a discharge of high voltage. Check:
• whether there has been a discharge of high voltage
• that the [IRM] is transmitted correctly PCB 9999102500 CCB

Every direct analogic signal or signal from the inverter has a test
point so that it may be monitored by an oscilloscope.
The nicroprocessor did not interrupt radiography. The

151 microprocessor checks the [IRM] signal to see if radiography has
been completed. If this signal is interrupted before an established
maximum period of time, this means that radiography has been
halted. If this does not occur this means that there is still high
voltage and current circulating inside the tube. Check:
• that the signal stop exposure [OHV] is active at CCB, check

SERVICE MANUAL
Maintenance
11.2.8. Fuse check
Check all the fuses with an ohmmeter with the appliance off.
11.2.9. Radiography parameters check
The control of the correspondence of the set and real radiography

parameters is based on the size of the current and voltage sent to the
tube.
The current value (mA) depends upon the type of tube and so upon the
HW calibration of the cards and upon the SW calibration of the tube. The
mA value can be calibrated.
The peak kV value is independent of the type of tube installed and is a
characteristic of the generator. This value can be changed.
Another fundamental value relative to exposure is time.
With this appliance, time does not require calibration as it is calculated
by an electronic quartz based circuit.
The mA values are a consequence of the mA calibration.
The regulation of the HW circuits for the measurement of the kVp and
mA values are performed at the manufacturer's during the final test
phase.
The reference standard used for this calibration is an invasive
instrument produced by RadCal Corp. called Dynalyzer.
This instrument measures kVp, mA and time.
We therefore recommend this type of instrument or similar when a H.W.
calibration is necessary.

SERVICE MANUAL
Maintenance
11.2.9.1. Parameters accuracy tests
Follow this procedure.

If a measuring instrument as indicated is not available, monitor the
values by connecting an oscilloscope, as described:
• kV measurement
Connect an oscilloscope to test point TP5 of the PCB 9999102500
(paragraph 12.1)
• Radiography mA measurement
Connect an oscilloscope to test point TP2 or TP9 as required.
It will be possible to verify the value of the parameters but it must be

remembered that calibration is based on a standard instrument.
Set the parameters indicated in the following table and verify whether the
results lie within the given limits.

SISTEMI MEDICALI before proceeding with the calibration
• If there are significant differences in the mA values, before
commencing a new calibration check to see whether the PCB
9999102600 is correctly supplied with power, the terminal pins of
the high voltage cables are clean and wide and that the tube
filaments are heated
• kV accuracy.
If the kV value is not within the limits given on the table, appropriate
calibration must be made on the gain and feedback potentiometers
on the PCB 9999102500 Converter Control Board (paragraph 12.1).
Regulate the issued kV value via potentiometer R38.
Regulate the kV value read on the MPU and presented on the display
inside the rack via potentiometer R251
• mA accuracy.
If the mA value is not within the limits given in the table, the focus
calibration must be repeated.
This is valid if only one focus is out of limits.
If the problem lies with both focuses, calibration must be made on
the gain potentiometers on the PCB 9999102500 Converter Control
Board (paragraph 12.1).
There are three channels for measuring the mA values on this card:
– ICL fluoroscopy channel 10 V = 10 mA (potentiometer R32)
– ICM low mA values radiography channel with 10 V = 150 mA
scale (potentiometer R69)
– ICH high mA values radiography channel 10 V = 1500 mA scale
(potentiometer R54)

SERVICE MANUAL
Maintenance
• Radiography time accuracy.

The tests must confirm the accuracy of the exposure time
measurements.
This parameter is controlled by the quartz on the MPU.
• mAs accuracy.
This depends upon the time and the value of the mA. If both these
parameters are correct, product is correct.
It must be remembered that the Genius HF generator performs an

automatic heating values correction function at the end of each
exposure.
This function, if activated, guarantees the constancy of the parameters in
time.
If this function is not activated, we recommend the calibration of the tube
to be made every year.

SERVICE MANUAL
Maintenance
11.3. EEprom management
The EEprom located on the MPU is used to contain a copy of the data
present on the buffered RAM.
During routine operations, the microprocessor uses the data contained in
the RAM without using the contents of the EEprom.
The following data is automatically memorized on the EEprom without
any request of intervention to the operator:
• the contents of the anatomical programs available to the user
• the data related to the configuration phase
• the data related to the calibration values of the three radiogenic
tubes (six focal spots).
The EEprom has a non-volatile support function.
In this way it is possible to automatically load all the data related to an
installation onto a new MPU when this card is substituted.
We recommend a recording be made on EEprom at the end of the
installation.
11.3.1. Data recording
The back-up, i.e. the recording of the data on the EEprom, is made every
time an anatomical program or configuration or calibration program is
completed.

SERVICE MANUAL
Maintenance
11.3.2. Loading data from the EEprom
This operation must be performed every time the MPU or buffer RAM
needs to be substituted. The average life-span of the buffer battery is five
years.
If the FIP displays the following message: Error! Call servicing technician
it may be necessary to load the data from EEprom to RAM.
The following procedure must be performed to activated this function:
1. Open the front panel of the power rack and turn the switch located
on the front of PCB 9999102700 MPU V25 to the right (paragraph
12.1).
2. Switch on.
3. After approximately three seconds, the following message appears on
the FIP:
READING EEPROM PLEASE WAIT
confirming that the EEprom data has been read. Then turn the
switch on the MPU to its original position (towards the left).
