During preparation and exposure, the 300 VDC (rectified mains voltage) is fed into the unit.
80 kHz pulses Pulses at 80 kHz pass to the filament regulator driver, the output voltage of which depends on the duty
cycle of the driving pulses.
40 kHz pulses Pulses at 40 kHz pass to the filament inverter driver, the output of which goes to the filament
transformer in the tube-head.
The inverter current is sensed by a dedicated resistor.
20 kHz pulses During preparation, pulses at 20 kHz pass to the High Voltage (HV) inverter driver. During exposure
the pulses pass also to the High Voltage regulator driver.
The output voltage of the regulator depends on the duty cycle of the driving pulses.
The output of the inverter is connected to the HV transformer in the tube-head. The inverter current is
sensed by a current transformer.
The regulation section controls the level of kV and mA by comparing the feedback signals with the
reference signals set by the control unit.
The anode voltage (kV) is determined by the input voltage to the high voltage transformer (tube-head).
The anode current (mA) is determined by the filament supply.
Calibration is required only for the filament supply.

2.3.8. Replacement of position sensors

The position sensors are made of three electro-optical devices each
combining a light transmitter and a light receiver.
The presence of light is detected, or the absence of the same due to
a non-transparent object cutting the beam of light.
A metal disk and a linear plate with shaped profile and bearing a set
of holes are used to generate the signals for the rotation and
translation movement of the rotating arm (drive).
• Device A intercepts beginning and end of movement.

• Device B intercepts the intermediate point of the movement (mid-
rotation or mid-translation).
• Device C is aligned with the holes to generate pulse signals.
