Refer to the section MAJOR COMPONENT LAYOUT in chapter 1E for major component identification
and layout.
Place the generator cabinet in a location that will allow the following:
• Easy access for service and sufficient clearance at the rear for room interface cables. Refer to
LOCATING THE GENERATOR CABINET AND CONTROL CONSOLE in chapter 1C.
• Air circulation: The main cabinet is fan cooled; therefore room-temperature air must be free to circulate
around the cabinet (3 inch wall clearance). The cooling slots in the cabinet must be unobstructed at all
times.
• A stable footing.
• Close proximity to service-disconnect boxes. Cables should be a maximum of 15ft/5m in length and
located away from traffic areas. Do not locate the X-ray generator within the patient environment of the
X-ray room.
• If the generator is fitted with optional wheels, these are intended only to assist with moving and
positioning the generator in the X-ray room. The optional leveling feet included with the wheels, must
be extended to prevent unwanted generator movement when the generator is located in its final
position.
• Adjust the leveling feet to the desired height, making sure that the generator is leveled. Then raise the
locking nut for each leveling foot up against the bottom of the generator cabinet and tighten the locking
nuts to firmly secure the leveling feet.

∗ If the optional wheels are fitted, extend the leveling feet sufficiently to clear the wheels and ensure
that the generator is level, but no more. Confirm adequate clearance of the wheels from the floor by
sliding a piece of paper under each wheel.
∗ Do not over-extend the leveling feet as this could result in insufficient remaining threads to retain the
leveling feet in the base of the generator.
NOTE: GENERATORS SHIPPED WITH THE TOUCHSCREEN CONSOLE, REFER TO THE MANUAL
SUPPLEMENT 90684400 FOR CONNECTIONS, FUNCTION AND OPERATION.
NOTE: DO NOT LOCATE THE CONTROL CONSOLE WHERE X-RADIATION MAY BE PRESENT
DURING SETUP & CALIBRATION OR NORMAL OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR.
YOU MAY CHOOSE TO TEMPORARILY LOCATE THE CONSOLE NEAR THE GENERATOR FOR
INITIAL PROGRAMMING AND CALIBRATION. IF SO, PLEASE COMPLETE THE FINAL CONSOLE
INSTALLATION PER THIS SECTION WHEN THE GENERATOR INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED.
Position the control console in its intended location, on a solid and level surface. Ensure that the console
is stable when positioned in its final location. There must be no risk of it tipping or falling, especially if
extended to its maximum viewing angle (touchscreen consoles).
• The control console including the mini-console, if applicable, must be located inside an X-ray shielded
control booth within the X-ray room, or outside the X-ray room.
• The console should be installed in an accessible and unobstructed area, providing enough space
around it to avoid awkward posture of the user.
• If the console is located on a shelf, supply index pins or equivalent hardware to the base of the console
to prevent slipping.
• Ensure that the console is mounted at a height and angle to allow for easy viewing of the displays.
• If the optional CPI pedestal stand is to be used for the console mounting, follow the mounting
instructions supplied with the stand.
• Leave sufficient slack in the cabling to the console to allow for future service and maintenance.
1. Carefully unpack the touchscreen console and set the packaging aside. Verify that all components
are undamaged.
2. Place the touchscreen console face down on a flat, clean, non-abrasive, and non-slippery surface. If

If it is desired to anchor the generator to the floor, refer to chapter 1C. This should not be done until all
cable hookups to the generator are completed.
All cables should be kept away from high voltage areas in the cabinet, routed away from walkways such
that it does not become a trip hazard, and dressed neatly in place. Cables should be cut to the correct
length if possible, as excess cabling may contribute to EMI/RFI problems. For those cables that cannot be
cut to the correct length (HV cables for example), try to minimize the area inside any loops of excess
cable, as these loops can create an antenna.
The following cables must be shielded: AEC, DAP, console, digital I/O, Ethernet, USB, CAN Bus, RS-232
and used with metal backshell connectors where possible: These cables should also be routed such that
it is away or isolated from the tube HV cables or stator cables. Signal cables used in AEC, DAP, etc. for
example can generate erroneous readings if noise is induced on these cables, so it is very important to
plan the cable routing such that inter-cable effects are minimized, if not eliminated.
The cables that are routed into the generator via the cable access slots and via the high voltage cable
access panel should be secured to the tie points on the inside of the cable openings using cable ties or
equivalent fasteners. Sufficient slack should be left in all cables to act as a strain relief before tightening
the cable ties.
Ensure that console cables are not routed near electrically “noisy” cables such as the stator cables in
order to minimize induced noise on the console cables.
Ferrules should be used on the ends of all stranded wires that are connected to terminal connections in
the generator. These must be supplied by the installer.
EXCESS LENGTHS OF CABLING MUST NEVER BE BUNDLED UP AND STORED INSIDE THE
GENERATOR.

NOTE: PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING IF USING METAL CENTER SECTION X-RAY
TUBES
The mA feedback signals, as measured at the mA test points on the generator control board, represent
anode mA. X-ray emission in the tube is a result of the anode current.
The mA measured at terminals E17 and E18 on the HV module is cathode current. In a metal center
section tube, the anode current will be less than the cathode current, the difference being metal center
section current. In a metal center section tube, the cathode current may exceed the anode current by up to
15%. Although the anode and cathode currents may be unequal, the anode to cathode kV regulation is not
affected.
Due to the presence of metal center section current, filament drive and emission may need to be greater
than expected for a given mA station. The power “lost” to metal center section current may need to be
considered relative to the maximum generator output.
When installing a metal center section tube, it is essential that the center section of the X-ray tube be
securely grounded to HV module; otherwise, premature tube failure may result.
Failure to make this ground connection may result in intermittent operation and / or exposure errors.
Refer to chapter 3B, 3D, 3E and 3F for connection of the room equipment (Buckys, miscellaneous room
inputs and outputs, AEC devices, digital imaging systems, DAP, etc.). It is suggested that these items not
be connected until after the initial run-up of the generator is complete and the tube auto calibration has
been performed as described near the end of this chapter.

WITH THE LOW SPEED STARTER 2 OR DUAL SPEED STARTER 2 SET-UP.
ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
BEFORE COMMENCING WITH ANY WORK ON THE GENERATOR.
This section contains information regarding the setup of the DIP-switches on the LSS2/DSS2 board and
procedure for selecting the tube type (housing) on the generator.
The LSS2/DSS2 board P/N 90313203 or 90313204 is mounted to a metal plate containing the shift
capacitors. The LSS2/DSS2 board together with the shift capacitors compose what is referred to as the
LSS2/DSS2 assembly. The LSS2 assembly consists of part numbers 905135-XX and 908025-XX, where
XX is either tab -41 or -43. The DSS2 assembly consists of part numbers 904925-XX and 908022-XX,
where XX is either tab -21, -23, or -24. The different tabs correspond with different shift capacitors. The
assembly and tab numbers are located on a label beneath the starter board as shown in figure 2-11.
The function of the LSS2/DSS2 assembly is to provide the optimal anode rotation during exposures. The
LSS2/DSS2 board can operate in legacy mode or CAN bus mode. The assembly and board part numbers
determine the mode of operation. Generators with PWBA 90313204 mounted to assembly 905135-XX or
904925-XX are enabled for legacy mode. Generators with PWBA 90313203 mounted to assembly
908022-XX or 908025-XX are enabled for CAN bus mode.
In legacy mode, DIP-switches SW1 (tube 1) and SW2 (tube 2) are configured for the tube type (housing),
DIP-switch SW3 for the shift capacitors and line input voltage, and DIP-switch SW8 for legacy mode
operation. Verify the ribbon cable is connected to J1 on the LSS2/DSS2 board and to J2 on the Generator
Control Board for legacy mode.

It is strongly recommended that the following two interlocks be wired to the generator before preparing to
make any exposures:
Door Interlock
Use configuration A or configuration B as described below, depending on the desired mode of operation to
wire the room door interlock.
Configuration A
This configuration inhibits new exposures if the room door is open. This does not interrupt exposures in
progress when the door is opened.
The door interlock switch connects to the room door interlock inputs.
Configuration B
This configuration inhibits new exposures if the room door is open, and stops fluoro exposures if the room
door is opened during a fluoro exposure. A double-pole type room interlock switch is required for this
configuration.
One pole on the door interlock switch is connected to the room door interlock inputs on the room I/O
board. One side of the second pole on the door interlock switch connects to one terminal on the remote
fluoro exposure input, and one side of the fluoro footswitch connects to the second terminal on the remote
fluoro exposure input on the room I/O board. The free side of the room interlock switch and the free side
of the fluoro footswitch should be spliced together using a suitable insulated connector. This connects the
door interlock switch and the fluoro footswitch in series across the remote fluoro exposure input on the
room I/O board.
Refer to MD-0977 sheet 3 in chapter 9 of this manual for the drawings of both Configuration A and
Configuration B.
NOTE: THE INSTALLER MUST PROVIDE A VISUAL INDICATION OF THE ON/OFF STATE OF
EACH EXTERNAL DEVICE THAT CAN PREVENT THE GENERATOR FROM EMITTING
RADIATION, OR THAT CAN STOP THE GENERATOR FROM EMITTING RADIATION, OR BOTH.
Before continuing, check for internal evidence of shipping damage: Loose boards, hardware, connections,
damage to the HV module etc.

4. Measure and record the voltage across the main line fuses on the mezzanine board or input
distribution board in the generator.
5. Verify the above voltages are within specifications for the unit. For 3-phase units, the phase-to-
ground voltage should be as follows:
Mains voltage (phase-to-phase) Mains voltage (phase-to-ground)
400 VAC +/- 10%: 230 VAC +/- 10%
480 VAC +/- 10%: 277 VAC +/- 10%
Are phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground voltages within spec? Check ____
6. Switch OFF the AC mains supply to the generator. Verify that there is no voltage present across any
of the mains input phases. Replace the safety cover on the main input fuse block, and then switch
ON the mains.

Refer to chapter 3C, 3D, 3E and 3F (as applicable) for programming and calibration of the generator.
It is recommended that the generator be tested at this point with only the X-ray tubes connected (the
thermal interlocks, stator connections and high voltage cables). The generator should be able to complete
an X-ray tube calibration and seasoning cycle without any other equipment connected to the generator,
other than the basic interlocks as noted below. This will allow for easier fault isolation as each section of
the system is connected and tested later.
Before being able to make X-ray exposures, the thermal switch input for the active tube must be closed.
Before beginning X-ray tube auto calibration, the tube(s) used in this installation must be properly selected
and the tube parameters and generator limits should be programmed. Refer to TUBE FUNCTIONS MENU
and Gen Limits in chapter 3C.
It is recommended that the X-ray tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) during tube auto calibration,
particularly if the tube is new or has not been used for some time. Refer to chapter 6 for details.
CAUTION: ALWAYS VERIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TUBE INSERT. IF THE X-RAY
TUBE HAS BEEN REBUILT, THE TUBE INSERT AND TUBE HOUSING MAY BE
FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS.
The procedure for connecting a stand-alone computer or laptop running GenWeb is described in the

3B.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the external interfaces to the room I/O board. Most of the room interface inputs can
be programmed via on-board jumpers to accept a dry contact input or a 24 VDC input. The room interface
outputs are a combination of dry contact outputs, outputs that can be programmed to be dry or to output 24
VDC, 110 VAC or 220 VAC, outputs that can be programmed to be dry or to output 24 VDC only or open-
collector outputs via U67 as shown on MD-0977 sheet 8.
All interfacing cables enter the generator at the back of the generator cabinet. Ferrules should be used on
the ends of all stranded wires that are connected to terminal connections in the generator. These must be
supplied by the installer.
Route the cables for the room I/O board into the generator via the cable access slots at the back of the
generator, above the external connections panel. The cables should be secured to the tie points on the
inside of the cable access slots using cable ties or equivalent fasteners. When finished connecting these
cables, gently lower the cable access covers onto the cables such as to reduce the cable access gap to
acceptable limits. There must be a minimum of 1 / 16” (1 mm) clearance above the cables. Lastly, tighten
the screws for the cable access covers.
WARNING: AC Line voltage is Present inside the generator at all times that the main disconnect is
switched on. For safety, the main disconnect should be switched off and locked out
while connecting room equipment.
WARNING: Activation of interlocks on the room I/O board may terminate exposures in progress.
NOTE: The installer must provide the necessary interfacing cables for wiring to the generator
inputs and outputs.

3B.2.3 Room I/O Board Outputs
®
The Indico IQ room I/O board has a variety of outputs. The majority of these are relay driven outputs that
can be configured one of two ways:
• Dry contact position: The “dry contact” mode is active when the programming connector for the selected
output is jumpered from pins 4-6 for JW1 to JW5 and from pins 2-3 for JW19, JW21, JW23 and JW24.
Refer to figure 3B-3, MD-0977 in chapter 9, and to tables 3B-3 and 3B3-4. In the “dry contact” position,
the selected output will be a dry relay contact output. Note the maximum voltage that can be applied to
the room I/O board outputs from an external source in the dry contact mode, i.e. if the relay contacts are
used to switch external power. The outputs that can be configured for 24 VDC / 110 VAC / 220 VAC are
rated for voltages up to 220 VAC, a couple of other outputs are rated up to 220 VAC and the remaining
outputs have a maximum rating of 48 VAC / DC. Refer to table 3B-4.
• Live contact position: In the “live contact” mode, the programming connector for the selected output is
jumpered from pins 6-8 for JW1 to JW5 and from pins 1-2 and 3-4 for JW19, JW21, JW23 and JW24.
Refer to figure 3B-3, MD-0977 in chapter 9, and to tables 3B-3 and 3B3-4.
∗ For the outputs associated with JW19, JW21, JW23 and JW24, 24 VDC will be supplied when the
corresponding relay is closed in the “live contact” mode.
∗ For the outputs associated with JW1 to JW5, 24 VDC, 110 VAC or 220 VAC will be supplied when
the corresponding relay is closed in the “live contact” mode. The selection of 24 VDC, 110 VAC or
220 VAC is made by connecting a jumper from TB7 or TB20 to TB2, TB3 or TB4 as per table 3B-4.
Depending on the setting of JW2 on the input distribution board, 24 VDC and 110 / 220 VAC
may be available only when the generator is switched on, or 24 VDC and 110 / 220 VAC may
be available at all times that the generator is connected to live AC mains. Refer to MD-0975
(sheet 7) and to Room Transformer Outputs (“On with Generator” or “On Always”)
in chapter 2 for details.
∗ To supply power to a grounded load for the outputs associated with JW1 to JW5, use the “dry”
contacts position and connect the load to the normally open terminal on the relay i.e. to TB8-1 for
output 7.
The remaining relay-controlled outputs are via dry relay contacts. The ALE (maximum 30 VDC, 100 ma, at
output is via an opto-coupler. Outputs are also provided for a collimator lamp (26 VAC at TB18-1, 2) and
electric locks (24 VDC at TB19-1, 2).
WARNING: For LED base collimators, the installer must consult the documentation supplied with
the collimator before connecting to the power supply on the room I/O board. If
instruction are not followed, the LED light base collimator can suffer irreparable
damage.
The 24 VDC output on the room I/O board is sufficient to operate most LED light base collimators.
However, if the 24 VDC output is being used to its fullest capacity by other equipment, use an external
rectifier and capacitor (supplied by installer) to rectify the 26 VAC output on the room I/O board. The
capacitor must be large enough such that the rectified voltage does not drop below the required minimum
DC voltage of the collimator and not too large otherwise the 26 VAC fuse will fail due to the inrush. Do not
connect the 26 VAC output from the room I/O board directly to the input of a LED light base collimator
without first rectifying, due to the fact that the 0V on the room transformer is connected to chassis/earth
ground (Refer to Figure 3B-2 for explanation).

3B Room I/O Brd Connections CPI Canada Inc.
Lastly, 110 VAC and 220 VAC are available at TB5 and TB1, respectively. Refer to table 3B-3 and MD-0977
for further information. The maximum load for the collimator lamp supply is 6.7 A, the maximum load
for the 24 VDC supply is 4 A and the maximum loading on the 110 VAC and 220 VAC supplies are
350 VA combined, i.e. 176 VA for the 110 VAC supply only, 220 VA for the 220 VAC supply only or
350 VA for any combination of loading on the 110 and 220 VAC supplies. Several of the relay-driven
outputs have R-C snubbers connected across the relay contacts to protect the contacts when driving
inductive loads. In some installations, the relay outputs may drive opto-couplers or other low current
devices. The leakage current through the R-C snubber, when used with AC sources, may be sufficient to
energize the external input. If this is the case, the snubber on the room I/O board will need to be disabled.
This is done by removing the jumper that is in series with the R-C snubber circuit. Table 3B-5 shows the
jumper to be removed for each output that is fitted with an R-C snubber across the relay contacts.
Even though R-C snubbers are fitted to most outputs, it is strongly recommended that clamping / recovery
diodes be used on inductive devices such as relays, etc that are connected to the room I/O board.
The internal voltage sources on the room I/O board are not compatible with fluorescent lamps, which have high
starting currents and generate transients when the tube strikes. Also, some inductive loads may cause
difficulties (for example some motors, under table tube fans and solenoids).
Any jumpers that are removed to reconfigure the room I/O board outputs should be set aside such that they
are available for future use, if required.

If you are using a conventional operator control console (i.e. membrane console), the
™
generator may be programmed and calibrated via the control console or via GenWeb . When
using the console for programming and calibration, all programming / calibration menus are
displayed on the LCD display window on the console. The ten “soft key” buttons (1 to 10 in
figure 3C-1 below) are used to navigate through the programming screens and to select and
enter values in this section.

If an upgrade can be done, i.e. the software upgrade file is available, follow the menu shown
in the figures below to proceed with the software upgrade. The system will not start up using
the membrane console until the software is upgraded to the level that is compatible with the
generator software.
Note that a service password is required to access the membrane console software upgrade
menu. A utility software is also needed to be able to load the upgraded software file to the
membrane console. Refer to Chapter 6, Regular Maintenance - Console Firmware Upgrade
section for guidance on how to perform the software upgrade.

Pressing the keys #2, #5 and #8 (see Figure 3C-1) causes the membrane console to go into
the software restart or reboot sequence. This is only accessible if the generator is not
performing a Rad or Fluoro exposure or executing the auto-calibration sequence. The
software restart is implemented to avoid cycling off the generator power from the console if
the user wants to enter into the programming or service menu on the console.
Powering down the generator by pressing the OFF ( ) button on the membrane console
forces the generator to go through the entire bus discharge and charge cycle, consequently
opening and closing the main contactor. The repeated off/on cycle is best avoided as
repeated cycling of the power can sometimes damage the power components on the
generator.
Note that the generator remains ON while the membrane console is rebooted using
this method. When the reboot is done, the generator and membrane console will re-
establish communication and the membrane console prompts the user for a password. By
entering the correct password, the user will be routed to the programming (service) mode.
Otherwise, the console will go into the operator (exposure) mode. See figure below for more
information.

The Indico IQ membrane consoles have a preloaded library of compatible X-ray tubes. In
addition to the preloaded tube files, various user-selectable tubes can be uploaded to the
console.
If no user-selectable tube files have been uploaded, the first page of the tube selection
screens will be titled DEFAULT TUBE X SEL, where X is 1 or 2 - corresponding to TUBE 1
or TUBE 2. This page will list the first eight preloaded tubes. Additional preloaded tube types
will be displayed on subsequent pages, accessible by selecting the >> button.
• If user-selectable tube files have been uploaded, the first page of the tube selection
screens will be titled USER TUBE X SELECT, where X is 1 or 2 - corresponding to TUBE
1 or TUBE 2. This page will contain a maximum of eight tubes, which is the maximum
number of user-selectable tube files that can be uploaded to the console. Preloaded tube
types will be listed on subsequent pages, accessible by selecting the >> button.
• If user-selectable tube file(s) are uploaded to the console and if these file(s) are of a
newer revision than existing preloaded tube files, the latest user-uploaded files will not
overwrite similar (possibly older) files on the DEFAULT TUBE X SEL pages. In this case,
it is highly recommended that the latest revision of the tube file be used as this will
contain updated tube data.
• The actual tube file layout and the number of TUBE SELECTION screens may vary from

New or replacement X-ray tubes must be auto-calibrated before the generator is placed
into service. Refer to TUBE AUTO CALIBRATION section in Chapter2, Installation, for
details.
Typically, the boost time should be between 200 and 250 msec, and the preheat time should
be in the range of 700 - 800 ms.
If in doubt, monitor the filament feedback and be sure that there is no change in the signal
level 5 milliseconds after the start of an exposure, and that the mA starts at the selected level.
Standby current must be below the emission point. If the standby current is too high,
the lower fluoro mA values may not calibrate properly resulting in a high mA fault error
during fluoro operation.
If the maximum filament current is increased, be careful not to exceed the tube
manufacturer’s specifications.

The inputs and outputs defined in the previous table are programmable as follows:
• Inputs may be programmed such that the selected input is active or inactive during
various states of the generator. Inactive inputs are ignored; unused inputs should
normally be programmed to be inactive.
• Outputs may be programmed such that the relay connected to the selected output is
energized or de-energized during various states of the generator. Unused outputs should
normally be programmed to be de-energized.
• The inputs and outputs must be programmed separately for each receptor. Each receptor
may have its own unique programming.
• STANDBY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator is in standby
(idle) mode. Standby mode includes fluoroscopic hangover.
• PREP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator enters PREP
mode.
• GEN RDY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator has completed
PREP mode and is ready to expose.
• RAD EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a
radiographic exposure.
• FLUORO EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a
fluoroscopic exposure.
Pressing the button next to the selected input or output on the left of the display selects that
function. The level of the selected state is changed by pressing the selection button again
(low = off / inactive, high = on / active).
For inputs, setting the level “low” means that the input is ignored during that state. Setting the
level “high” requires that the corresponding input is satisfied before the generator will
advance to that state. If multiple inputs are programmed “high”, for example if REMOTE
PREP and CONSOLE PREP are both high in the prep state, then both inputs will need to be
active before the generator will enter the prep state.
Setting an output level “low” causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized
during the selected state. Setting the level “high” will cause the associated relay to be
energized during the selected state.
Refer to figure 3C-3 for examples of a TYPICAL input configuration.

CAUTION: The Software upgrade and restore procedure will restore the APR
parameters to their factory default values. The APR data should be backed-
up before performing this procedure and subsequently restored after the
procedure. This will ensure that any custom settings on the APR are
restored after the upgrade or restore is completed. To do this, follow the
steps under APR Backup and Restore section of this document.
Step Action
1 Note: Before upgrading or restoring the touchscreen console firmware, save
the APR data by performing an APR backup.
Gather the USB flash drive provided by CPI that contains the executable file for the
touchscreen console software installation. The USB flash drive (P/N 95036800) that
came with the manual can be used if the software becomes corrupted or if the
software boot sequence is not recoverable.

3D.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the interfacing, setup and calibration of the various AEC board assemblies that are
®
used in Indico IQ X-ray generators. Depending on the application and the AEC board that is fitted, the
following types of inputs may be used:
A SET OF AEC COMPATIBILITY MATRICES IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL (FOR
HARD COPY MANUALS) OR INCLUDED ON THE CD (FOR SOFT COPY MANUALS). EACH AEC
BOARD HAS A CORRESPONDING AEC COMPATIBILITY MATRIX, I.E. FOR AEC BOARD 734614-XX,
USE AEC COMPATIBILITY MATRIX SUP73461400.
THE AEC COMPATIBILITY MATRICES LIST THE AEC CHAMBERS / PREAMPLIFIERS THAT EACH
VERSION OF AEC BOARD IS COMPATIBLE WITH, AND THEY ALSO SHOW THE I/O PIN
CONNECTIONS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS, AS WELL AS RELATED NOTES.
This chapter contains background information that is relevant to AEC operation. This is located at the back
of this chapter, and should be understood before beginning AEC calibration.
1. The AEC boards in figures 3D-1 to 3D-4 are compatible with various solid-state and ion chambers.
The universal AEC board, figure 3D-5, is required to interface with a PMT or photo diode or a
combination of AEC devices (i.e. solid-state and ion chambers and / or PMT / photo diode).
2. Connect the AEC device to the AEC board as per 3D.2.1 to 3D.2.5. Supplementary information is in
the AEC compatibility matrixes located near the front of this manual.
3. Ensure that AEC cables are not routed near electrically “noisy” cables such as the stator cables in
order to minimize induced noise on the AEC cables.
4. Note the following if you are using a PMT or photo diode for AEC:
• If you are using a PMT for ABS and AEC control, refer to the section ABS PICKUP
INSTALLATION / WIRING in chapter 3E. The figure Wiring a PMT for ABS and AEC control
shows the PMT connections to the generator control board for ABS control and the PMT
connections to the AEC board for AEC control during digital acquisitions.
• If you are using a PMT for AEC control only, refer to 3D.2.5.
• If you are using a photo diode for AEC control, refer to 3D.2.5.

3D.2.5 AEC Board (Universal AEC Board With Short AEC Time Compensation) (Cont)
The following potentiometers are used for short AEC exposure time compensation:
• R91 is used for channel 1 short exposure time compensation.
• R92 is used for channel 2 short exposure time compensation.
• R93 is used for channel 3 short exposure time compensation.
• R94 is used for channel 4 short exposure time compensation.
Potentiometers R10, R19 and R24 adjust the output of the +300 / +500 VDC (ion chamber) and -1000 VDC
(PMT) high voltage supply. The +300 / +500 VDC outputs are available on J1 to J4 as per tables 3D-7 and
3D-8, and –1000 VDC is available on J7.
Logic circuits on the AEC interface board are connected to the AEC channel select lines. These switch the
potentiometers that adjust the high voltage into the circuit as follows:
• R10 is active when no AEC channel is selected, i.e. during ABS operation. The adjustment of this
potentiometer is described in chapter 3E.
• R19 is active when AEC channel 4 is selected. Channel 4 is typically used for digital applications. The
AEC pickup will usually be a PMT or photo diode. The adjustment of this pot is described later in this
chapter, under AEC USING A PMT.
• R24 is active when AEC channels 1, 2 or 3 are selected. Channels 1 to 3 may be used for film-based
AEC using an ion chamber or solid-state chamber, or they may be used for digital applications using a
PMT or photo diode, or any combination of the above.
• If AEC channels 1, 2 and 3 are all used with ion chambers, and all three channels require the same ion
chamber bias voltage, R24 should be adjusted to set the nominal +300 / +500 VDC outputs to the
required bias voltage.
• If AEC channel 1, 2 or 3 is used for digital applications using a PMT, R24 will need to be adjusted to
supply the required PMT voltage during AEC operation on those channels. The adjustment of this pot
for setting the PMT high voltage is described later in this chapter, under AEC USING A PMT. In this
case, the +300 / +500 VDC supply cannot be optimized for ion chamber use. If an ion chamber is
connected to any of the remaining channels, it must have a built-in high voltage bias supply.
Tables 3D-7 and 3D-8 show the pin outs for the 12 pin connectors J1 to J4 on the universal AEC board. The
pins on J7 are all connected in parallel, thus the PMT high voltage may be taken from any of the pins on that
connector.

This section contains information that must be understood and confirmed before proceeding with AEC
calibration.
CAUTION: THE PROCEDURES IN THIS CHAPTER REQUIRE X-RAY EXPOSURES. TAKE ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM X-RADIATION.
• When using a PMT or photodiode for AEC, there is normally no need to calibrate all the kV break points.
It is usually sufficient to use the 75 kV breakpoint calibration value at all kV breakpoints. If doing this, the
calibration values should be confirmed at all kV breakpoints using the acquired digital images.
• During AEC calibration, all AEC exposures should be done using mA values such that the exposures
are in the 30 to 100 ms range UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
• During AEC calibration, always ensure that the central ray is centered relative to the image receptor.
• Ensure that the collimator is opened sufficiently to irradiate ALL fields on the AEC pickup device before
placing the absorbers.
• The recommended absorber is Lexan. Water of a similar thickness is also a suitable absorber. This
should be in a plastic container of uniform thickness.
• Ensure that the absorber is positioned to fully cover the X-ray field. The absorber must extend a
minimum of 3/8 in. (10 mm) beyond the X-ray field.
• All components and assemblies used during AEC calibration must be those that will be used during
procedures, and must be positioned as they will be in actual use of the X-ray room.
• The generator must be known to be calibrated before proceeding.
• Care must be exercised when using table Buckys with low kV values because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the range of 60 to 65 kV. This will adversely affect AEC operation.
• During AEC calibration, if exposure times do not change if the mA is varied, it may be that the
input signal level to the AEC board is too high. If this is experienced, check the ramp voltage at
the output of the first gain stage (the first operational amplifier output) on the AEC board for the
active AEC channel. This voltage must never exceed 10 V. If this voltage does exceed 10 V,
reduce the input signal level as required.
NOTE: The values and settings of the screenshots on the membrane console shown in this
chapter are for illustration purposes. The actual values and settings should be set
according to your specific generator configuration and setup requirements.

Follow the steps below to perform the table Bucky AEC calibration.
Step Action
1. If the AEC board being calibrated has short AEC time compensation potentiometers, the
short exposure time compensation must first be disabled.
To do this, adjust all short AEC exposure time compensation pots to zero by turning
each of these potentiometers fully clockwise. These are multi-turn potentiometers, and
must be turned by as much as 25 turns to reach the zero-ohms limit.
Failure to preset these pots will result in difficulty in performing AEC calibration.
2. Set up the X-ray tube stand as shown in figure 3D-9.
3. Align the tube stand and table Bucky such that the central ray is centered relative to the image
receptor.
4. Open up the collimator to expose all three fields of the AEC pickup. Ensure that the central ray
remains centered relative to the image receptor.
5. Place the absorber with thickness selected for 75 kV per table 3D-10 in the X-ray field, ensuring
that the radiation is completely blocked by the absorber.

6 Ensure that under RECEPTOR SETUP, (GENERATOR SETUP>GEN
CONFIGURATION), each receptor has the desired AEC channel assigned to it. Refer
to Receptor Setup in chapter 3C.
Note: Press >> and << buttons as necessary to be able to access the menus indicated
in the next steps.
7. In RECEPTOR SETUP, ensure that the AEC BACKUP MAS and AEC BACKUP MS
are set sufficiently high that the generator backup timer will not terminate the exposure.
Note: The purpose of the AEC backup timer is to prevent excessive patient radiation in
the event, there is a failure of the AEC system, operator error, or patient positioning
error. When selecting the AEC backup time mAs and/or ms values, ensure that the
settings meet the following requirements:
• The AEC exposure will not be terminated prematurely, thus creating an
underexposed image.
• The backup timer settings will limit the patient over exposure to the dose values
specified in any applicable regulations and will not result in a reportable over
exposure.

8. In RECEPTOR SETUP, set MEMORY to NO for each image receptor. This will ensure
that the next receptor being calibrated will not remember the techniques from the
previous receptor.
9. The MEMORY function may be reset as desired after AEC calibration is completed.
10 In AEC CALIBRATION (GENERATOR SETUP>GEN CONFIGURATION), select FILM
SCREEN 1 (the slowest film /screen combination).
11 Select 75kV breakpoint and press the + and – button to adjust the value to 45.0.
NOTE: BE SURE TO USE THE SAME CASSETTE FOR EACH EXPOSURE AT THAT FILM SPEED.
The mAs values noted in the above table represent the approximate desired mAs at an SID of 40 in.
(100 cm), using a grid with a 12:1 ratio. All measurements were done with HVL = 3 mm Al @ 75 kV.
Step Action
12 Select image receptor button 1, (Table, with Bucky)
13. Select the appropriate mA for the first film speed being calibrated per table 3D-10, remembering

34. Repeat steps 26 to 32 for the remaining breakpoints: 50 kV, 65 kV, 110 kV, 130 kV, 85 kV and
95 kV. Do the breakpoint calibration in the stated order.
The 50 kV and 130 kV breakpoints only need to be calibrated if these kV ranges are used with
AEC. Refer to the comments below.
50 kV: At approximately 50 kV and under, the film screen sensitivity becomes too low for
practical AEC operation when used with a Bucky. Unless special techniques are used
which require the 50 kV range, simply enter the 55 kV calibration number into the 50 kV
breakpoint.

3D.5.0 SHORT AEC TIME COMPENSATION
Follow the steps below to perform the short AEC exposure time compensation.
Step Action
THESE STEPS ONLY APPLY IF AEC EXPOSURES LESS THAN APPROXIMATELY 15 MS
ARE REQUIRED, AND THE AEC BOARD HAS SHORT AEC TIME ADJUSTMENT POTS.
1. Select the image receptor to be short AEC time compensated, i.e. table Bucky.
2. Select the highest film speed used on the selected receptor, and then select 75 kV.
3. Set the mA per table 3D-10 for the film speed being used. Reinstall the absorber as per table
3D-10 for the 75 kV breakpoint.
4. Make an exposure and confirm the mAs readings as previously recorded in table 3D-11.
5. Increase the mA such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 10 ms.
6. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such that the
mAs is approximately the same as previously recorded (step 4).
7. Increase the mA again such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 6 ms (but
not less).
8. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such that the
mAs is approximately the same as it was in step 4.
9. The short AEC time compensation adjustments affect the AEC calibration at longer exposure
times. Therefore, it may now be necessary to readjust the gain pot at 75 kV for the AEC channel
being calibrated to restore the mAs values to the values previously recorded in table 3D-11.
Ensure that the absorber thickness and mA values are as per table 3D-10 when readjusting the
AEC gain pot.
10. Using 75 kV exposures, films should be exposed and developed and the O.D. checked at AEC
exposure times of approximately 6 ms and approximately 100 ms. If the film density is not
acceptable at both short and long AEC exposure times, it will be necessary to tweak the
adjustments of both the short AEC time compensation pot and the AEC gain pot by repeating
steps 3 to 8.
11. Repeat steps 1 to 10 for AEC channel to be short AEC time compensated.

• Up to eight density-plus and eight density-minus steps are available. If ± 8 density steps are not
required, the unwanted density steps may be inactivated per the procedure below. For example, if only
± 5 density steps are desired, then density steps ± 6, 7, 8 may be deprogrammed.
• Once the desired number of ± density steps is known, the relative minimum and maximum mAs values
must be determined. Typically the minimum density step will result in half (50%) of the nominal mAs
(dose) and the maximum density step will typically double (100% increase) the nominal mAs (dose).
The nominal mAs is the value that was recorded at 0 density in table 3D-11.
• The relative mAs change per density step must be determined next. To do this, note the relative
minimum and maximum mAs as determined above (i.e. 50% at min density and 100% increase at max
density), then calculate the number of - density steps and the number of + density steps that will be
required.
• The relative mAs change between density steps will then be the minimum density (i.e. 50) divided by
the number of density minus steps or the maximum density (i.e. 100) divided by the number of density
plus steps. This will yield the required mAs increment for each density minus step and for each density
plus step respectively.
For ± 8 density steps, this gives a mAs decrease of 6.25% per density minus step (8 steps x 6.25% per
step = 50% mAs at -8 density) or a mAs increase of 12.5% per density plus step (8 steps x 12.5% per
step = 100% mAs increase at +8 density).
Refer to table 3D-12 for two typical examples of density steps vs. calibration numbers. For 8 minus
density steps the mAs decrease is 6.25% per step, and for 8 + density steps the mAs increase is 12.5%
per step as per the example calculation above.
For 5 minus density steps the mAs decrease is 10% per step, and for 5 + density steps the mAs
increase is 20% per step.

The following points should be noted regarding RLF compensation. RLF compensation is normally only
needed if special techniques are used that result in AEC exposures greater than 100 ms.
• If perfect, film would provide linear density changes with linearly increasing exposure times. In reality, at
longer exposures, film effectively becomes slower. This effect is known as reciprocity law failure. To
compensate, exposure times must be increased at longer exposures.
This compensation is achieved by increasing the AEC reference voltage at longer exposure times. RLF
compensation is applied to three ranges (50-500 ms, 500-1000 ms and 1000-1500 ms) as shown
below.
The examples below are not meant to represent actual RLF compensation percentages in your
installation. Actual values will need to be determined per the procedure following.
• Between 0 and 50 ms no RLF compensation is applied. Per figure 3D-11, the AEC reference voltage is
constant at 1 unit between 0 and 50 ms.
• At 50 ms, RLF compensation = 10% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by
10% between 50 ms and 500 ms in a linear fashion. At 500 ms the reference voltage is then 1.0 X 1.10
= 1.10 units.
• At 500 ms, RLF compensation = 20% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by
20% between 500 ms and 1000 ms in a linear fashion. At 1000 ms the reference voltage is then 1.10 X
1.20 = 1.32 units.
• At 1000 ms, RLF compensation = 30% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase
by 30% between 1000 ms and 1500 ms in a linear fashion. At 1500 ms the reference voltage is then
1.32 X 1.30 = 1.72 units
• The rate of increase of the reference voltage beyond 1500 ms will be constant, up to the limit of the
backup timer.
• The compensation curve resulting from the RLF values described above is depicted in the graph shown.

AEC CAL menu 2 for the membrane console with the MULT. SPOT COMP function is shown below.
• Multiple-spot exposure compensation may be required when doing multiple exposures on a single film. In
this mode of serial recording, the X-ray field is usually coned down to a small area. Due to the lack of
scatter and possible AEC field cutoff, an AEC density offset may be added if required. This offset is known
as multiple-spot exposure compensation.
• In order to enable multiple-spot exposure compensation, the R & F table must provide an output that
activates this function when the SFD is operated in multi-spot mode. The multi-spot exposure input on the
room I/O board is a dedicated input in the I/O setup standard configuration (Input 7, TB13 pins 3 and 4 by

10. Load the test cassette with fresh film and install it in the image receptor. Using the same
technique as in the previous step, expose the film and develop it.
11. Measure the O.D. The desired value should have been previously recorded in a copy of table
3D-14.
12. If the measured O.D. is not the desired value, adjust the gain pot to increase or decrease the
density, then repeat the previous two steps. Do not readjust the kV breakpoints that were
previously calibrated.
13. Change the SID to 40 in. (100 cm) and repeat steps 10 to 12. Adjust the gain pot if necessary to
achieve an acceptable compromise between both SID’s.
14. Verify the O.D. at a range of different kV’s.
15. Press << as required to return to the GEN CONFIGURATION menu
Steps 16 to 21 apply only if using two receptor select buttons (one for each SID), using
one previously calibrated film screen and one uncalibrated film screen.
16. Select the wall Bucky image receptor via the selector configured for the 40 in. (100 cm) SID.
17. Repeat steps 1 to 12 at the 40 in. (100 cm) SID position using the appropriate previously
calibrated film screen.
18. Verify the O.D. at a range of different kV’s.
19. Select the wall Bucky image receptor via the selector configured for the 72 in. (180 cm) SID.
20. Calibrate the film screen assigned to this SID as per the table Bucky procedure. The AEC
calibration pot must not be readjusted, as it was calibrated at the 40 in. (100 cm) SID.
Calibration must be performed by adjusting the breakpoint calibration numbers ONLY.

Step Action
1. Set up the radiation probe as per figure 3D-13. Use a dosimeter with sufficient sensitivity to
measure the expected dose (typically 150 cc).
2. Set up the absorber as shown in figure 3D-13. Start with 20 cm of Lexan. Ensure that the
radiation is completely blocked by the absorber.
The central ray from the X-ray tube must coincide with the center of the image receptor.
3. Ensure that an anti-scatter grid, if used, is properly installed. The R-probe must be between the
grid and the image receptor input, even if this requires temporary repositioning of the grid.
4. Set the SID to the normally used position. This SID must be maintained for the balance of AEC
calibration.
5. Set the collimator to irradiate an area just beyond the detector circumference.
6. Be sure that all compensating filters are out of the active beam.
7. For an I.I. use the largest field of view, i.e. 12 inch in the remaining steps, unless directed
otherwise.
8. The short exposure time compensation for the AEC channels that will be used with digital
applications must be disabled before continuing. To do this, adjust the applicable short AEC
time compensation potentiometers on the AEC board to zero by turning the required
potentiometers fully clockwise. These are multi-turn potentiometers, and must be turned by as
much as 25 turns to reach the zero-ohms limit.
Do not adjust any pots that have previously been calibrated (i.e. for AEC channels using
film).
9. Ensure that in the Receptor Setup menus, each receptor has the desired AEC channel
assigned to it. Refer to Receptor Setup in chapter 3C.
10. In the RECEPTOR SETUP menu, set MEMORY to NO for each image receptor. This will
ensure that the next receptor being calibrated will not remember the techniques from the
previous receptor.
The Memory function may be reset as desired after AEC calibration is finished.
11. In the RECEPTOR SETUP menu, ensure that the AEC BACKUP MAS and AEC BACKUP MS
are set sufficiently high that the generator backup timer will not terminate the exposure.
NOTE: IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS, IT IS ASSUMED THAT AEC CHANNELS 2, 3 AND 4 WILL BE
USED FOR DIGITAL ACQUISITIONS, DSA ACQUISITIONS AND CINE ACQUISITIONS
RESPECTIVELY.
THE AEC INPUTS, AEC CURVES, ETC MAY BE REASSIGNED AS REQUIRED, DEPENDING
ON THE ACTUAL INSTALLATION.

AEC exposures should normally be kept well under one second. When X-ray techniques are used that
result in longer exposures, the film density will not be correct due to failure of reciprocity of the film.
RLF (reciprocity law failure) compensation is provided to compensate for longer AEC exposure times. An
offset may be added to each AEC calibration set (each film screen combination) to increase the AEC ON
time as exposure time increases. RLF compensation is applied to the following range of times:
• 50 ms to 500 ms.
• 500 ms to 1000 ms.
• 1000 ms and above.
Film screen response to kV is not linear. Therefore, compensation must be provided in order to maintain
constant film density as kV is changed for different anatomical studies. By selecting and calibrating various
kV breakpoints, the overall system response will be compensated such as to yield a constant film density.
Up to eight breakpoints per film screen combination are available. The eight breakpoints are spread over
three kV ranges as shown below:
• Low kV: 50, 55, 65 kV.
• Knee kV: 75 kV.
• High kV: 85, 95, 110, 130 kV.

3D.13.2 AEC Calibration Range
®
Since the Indico IQ family of X-ray generators allows for up to three separate film screen combinations to
be calibrated, the following points must be considered:
• The AEC board allows for a zero to a maximum of 10-volt ramp at the comparator input. All AEC signals
must fit within this range (for all film screens, densities and techniques).
• Most X-ray film-based applications require the use of two or more different film screen combinations, all
of which will require different exposure doses.
• Using the slowest film screen combination, the required film input dose will be determined.
• Once this value is determined (during AEC calibration), the density calibration is performed to allow
100% (double the dose) and 50% (half the dose) values. These are typical values, and will determine the
maximum required range of the AEC reference voltage (the output from the D/A converter).
• Figure 3D-15 illustrates the different windows required for various film screen combinations.

Separate density compensation is provided when a SFD (Spot Film Device) is used for doing multiple
exposures on a single film. In this mode of operation, the X-ray field is usually coned down to a small area.
Due to the resulting AEC field cutoff, an AEC offset may be required. This is designated multiple spot
compensation.
An external output from the SFD must be provided when multiple spots are requested in order to enable this
function.

3E.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of various ABS pickup devices, wiring information for connecting these
to the generator and the procedure for ABS setup and calibration.
The ABS control signal that is used to regulate the kV and / or kV and mA during fluoroscopy is typically
supplied by a photo diode or a PMT, or a DC signal that is proportional to brightness commonly supplied
by the digital imaging system.
EACH GENERATOR IS FACTORY CONFIGURED FOR A SPECIFIC TYPE OF ABS PICKUP. REFER
TO THE COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT / PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FORM AT THE FRONT OF THIS
MANUAL (FOR HARD COPY MANUALS) OR INCLUDED ON THE CD (FOR SOFT COPY MANUALS).
WARNING: SWITCH OFF THE GENERATOR AND ENSURE THAT ALL CAPACITORS ARE
DISCHARGED BEFORE CONNECTING ANY ABS PICKUP DEVICES.

A PMT may be used for kV and / or kV and mA control during ABS operation and for AEC control for
digital acquisitions, or for AEC control for digital acquisitions only. The generator must be fitted with the
“Universal AEC Board” assembly if using a PMT. The high voltage supply for the PMT is located on this
assembly.
1. Dress the PMT cable such as to allow the dynode high voltage lead to connect to J7 on the AEC
interface board. J7 is the high voltage output for the PMT; all pins on this connector are connected in
parallel and thus any of the pins on J7 may be used. Ensure that the high voltage cable is rated at
1500 VDC minimum.
NOTE: The total resistive load of all dynodes must be greater than 1 megaohm to prevent excessive
PMT power supply loading.
2. Wire the PMT as per figure 3E-1 if using a PMT for ABS and AEC control, or per chapter 3D if using
a PMT for AEC control only.
3. The signal lead from the PMT is connected to the input of the generator control board as shown.
Microphone type shielded cable is recommended. The PMT output is available at J1-2 on the
generator control board via a series resistor on this board. This output should be connected to the
AEC board as per figure 3E-1. Microphone type shielded cable is recommended here too.
* Conventional R&F systems will typically use AEC channel 4 for digital acquisitions and possibly
AEC channel 3 for DSA acquisitions. For special procedures generators, AEC channel 4 will typically
be used for cine acquisitions, channel 3 for DSA acquisitions and channel 2 for digital acquisitions.
The PMT connections to AEC channels 2 and 3 should be omitted if not needed for digital
acquisitions, leaving these inputs available for conventional AEC chambers, if required.

Note: Calibration and setup parameters are shown for illustrative purposes only. The
settings and limits shown do not represent CPI recommended settings to be used
during setup and calibration of the generator.
Default settings and limits that are provided in the generator software are not intended
as final values in installed generators. All settings and limits must be confirmed and /
or adjusted as required during setup and calibration of the generator.
Note: The default values in the Dose Limits menus were determined to limit the Air Kerma
Rate to 44 mGy / min (normal continuous fluoro, manual mode), 88 mGy / min (normal
continuous fluoro, ABS mode), 88 mGy / min (normal pulsed fluoro) and 176 mGy / min
(high-level continuous and pulsed fluoro) with the following test setup in the factory:
- Varian A196 (0.6/1.0) X-ray tube.
- 40 in. (100 cm) S.I.D.
- Total filtration 4.5 mm Al (X-ray tube / housing = 1.8 mm, Collimator = 0.7 mm, added
filtration = 2.0 mm).
The Air Kerma Rate limits calibration must be performed as described in this chapter
during generator setup and calibration. Do not simply use the default dose limit values.
NOTE: The values and settings of the screenshots on the membrane console shown in this
chapter are for illustration purposes. The actual values and settings should be set
according to your specific generator configuration and setup requirements.
The basic fluoroscopic defaults must be set before proceeding with fluoro setup and
calibration. This next section describes the initial fluoroscopic setup procedure.

PF-HPF MA MULT Sets the mA multiplication factor applied to low-level pulsed fluoro mA settings
to achieve high-level pulsed fluoroscopy. For example, if the normal pulsed
fluoro mA is 10 mA and a multiplication factor of 2.5 is used, the HLF pulsed
fluoro will be 25 mA.
PF-HPF MS MULT Sets the ms multiplication factor applied to low-level pulsed fluoro ms settings
to achieve high-level pulsed fluoroscopy.
1 PPS When enabled, allows the operator to select 1 PPS in high-level pulsed fluoro
mode.
3 PPS When enabled, allows the operator to select 3 PPS in high-level pulsed fluoro
mode.

11. Adjust the PMT high voltage using R10 on the AEC interface board (refer to figure 3E-16)
while pressing the fluoro footswitch such that the PMT current is 20 to 25 uA. This
corresponds to a voltage of 0.20 to 0.25 VDC across the resistor if using the series-resistor
method.
12. Measure the PMT high voltage at J7 on the AEC interface board using a suitable meter.
Use TP5 only on the AEC interface board for the HV meter ground when measuring
the PMT high voltage. Connect the ground first before measuring the high voltage.
The high voltage should be approximately -750 to –800 VDC.
13. If the desired current cannot be obtained within the stated PMT voltage range, the light
entrance to the PMT in the optic cube may need adjustment. Refer to the appropriate
manufacturer’s documentation for the procedure to adjust this.
14. Disconnect the meter and resistor, if applicable, that was connected in step 2. Then
reconnect the PMT signal lead if required.

3F.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This section describes setup and programming of the DAP (Dose-Area Product) meter and the AK (Air
®
Kerma) calculator and display, both being standard on Indico IQ X-ray generators.
Single tube generators will only use 1 DAP chamber, two tube generators may use 1 or 2 DAP chambers.
Any references made to tube 2 or the ability to switch tubes in this section applies to two tube generators
only.
Implementation of DAP requires hardware – a DAP chamber and DAP circuits in the generator to process
the DAP signal from the DAP chamber. The air kerma calculator requires no additional hardware. Air
kerma measurements are made at several kV stations; the resulting measurements, in mGy, are then
entered into the generator AK setup menu. The generator uses the measured values to build a look-up
table in order to calculate and display accumulated air kerma and air kerma rate.
Note: This chapter uses the R&F membrane console for the AK and DAP setup and calibration. If using
GenWeb™, refer to the GenWeb™ user's guide accompanying this document.
The DAP chamber(s), when fitted with the proper interconnect cable(s), connect to the generator via
connectors DAP 1 (J2) and DAP 2 (J1) on the external connections panel on the back of the generator.
When ordering the DAP chamber from the DAP manufacturer, specify the CPI compatible interconnect
cable, if available. This is a special cable terminated with a 9-pin male “D” connector that is designed to
plug directly into the DAP connectors on the generator. If this cable is not available from the DAP device
manufacturer, consult CPI product support for the required cable to connect the DAP chamber to the
generator. Refer to the table below for the CPI cable assembly part numbers.

1. Switch OFF the AC line voltage to the generator at the main disconnect switch.
2. Install the DAP chamber as per the manufacturer instructions. The interconnect cable to the
generator must be as per 3F.2.1.
3. Route the generator end of the DAP interconnect cable(s) to the rear of the generator and then
connect the cables to the generator as per the next step. Ensure that DAP cables are not routed
near electrically “noisy” cables such as the stator cables in order to minimize induced noise on
the DAP cables.
4. Connect the cable from DAP device 1 (for tube 1) to connector DAP 1 (J2) and the cable from
DAP device 2 (for tube 2) to connector DAP 2 (J1) on the external connections panel on the back
of the generator. Then tighten the screw locks on the connectors to secure the cables.
5. Proceed with DAP setup and calibration as per the remainder of this procedure.

The first step involved in calibrating the DAP meter in the generator is to carefully make a dose
measurement at a given distance from the X-ray source. The next step is to expose a test film at the
same distance from the X-ray source as the dose measurement that was just made.
The dose-area product is calculated by multiplying the measured dose, in mGy, by the exposed area of
2 2
the film, in cm . This gives the actual dose-area product, in mGycm .
After the reference dose-area product is determined as described above, it is compared to the DAP
reading as measured by the generator. Adjustments are made to the Calibration Value parameters in
the Dap Setup window, such that the DAP display corresponds to the calculated dose-area product. This
procedure may need to be repeated several times until the required accuracy is obtained.
The reason the DAP device is able to accurately measure the dose-area product at its location at the
bottom of the collimator is that although the radiation level falls off at a rate inversely proportional to the
square of the distance from the source, the irradiated area increases as the square of the distance from
2
the source. For example, by doubling the distance, the dose falls to (½) = ¼ of the previous dose but the
2
area increases to 2 = 4 times the area. Therefore, the dose-area product will remain constant at a given
distance from the source. This is also the reason that care must be taken to ensure that the area
measurement is done at the same distance from the X-ray source as the dose measurement.

13. Measure the irradiated image area. For film, measure the length and width of the exposed
area and record the results in table 3F-1. Refer to figure 3F-3.
If using a digital imaging system, use the measurement tool if available to measure the
length and width of the area in question. If the digital imaging system does not allow image
size measurement, it is suggested that an X-ray opaque item of known dimensions be
placed at the image plane. A collimator test tool would be useful in this application. The
length and width of the irradiated area can then be extrapolated by comparison to the size
of the reference object.
Record the length and width of the irradiated area at the measurement plane in table 3F-1.
2
14. Calculate the irradiated image area, in cm . Use the length and width recorded in table 3F-
1.
15. Calculate the dose-area product by multiplying the area from table 3F-1 X the dose in
mGy from table 3F-1. Record the resulting value at step 3 in table 3F-1.
16. Calculate the percentage error between the manually calculated DAP measurement (table
3F-1, step 3) and the measured DAP value (table 3F-1, step 4). Record the percentage
error in step 5 of the table.
17. If the displayed DAP reading does not meet the required accuracy, increase or decrease
CAL. VALUE 1 (DAP Device 1) or CAL. VALUE 2 (DAP Device 2) by the same
percentage as the percentage error.
18. Repeat steps 7 to 17 until the required accuracy is obtained. Make as many copies of
table 3F-1 as required to record the results from all required iterations.
19. Repeat the above procedure for the second DAP device (tube 2).

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This supplement describes reproducibility, linearity, and half - value layer (HVL) tests which may be used
to verify performance of medical X-ray generators.
NOTE: THIS SUPPLEMENT DETAILS TYPICAL REPRODUCIBILITY, LINEARITY, AND HVL TESTS.
LOCAL REGULATIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PERFORMING
THESE TESTS, AS DETAILS MAY VARY IN SOME JURISDICTIONS, OR ADDITIONAL
TESTS MAY NEED TO BE PERFORMED.
Use and disclosure is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this CPI document.
1. Place the radiation probe above the table approximately 25 cm (10”). Select an SID of
approximately 100 cm (40”).
2. Place a lead diaphragm over the detector and adjust its height so that the X-ray beam covers the
detector but does not over radiate the sides of the probe. Refer to figure 1.

3.0 REPRODUCIBILITY
1. Using kV and mA/ms or mAs values per tables 1 to 4, make a series of 5 exposures.
2. Record each of the measured dose values, in mGy, in the appropriate table. Refer to step 3
before starting step 2.
To convert mR to mGy, divide the value in mR by 114.5. This will give the value in mGy.
(for example 114.5 mR = 1 mGy).
3. Record the preselected mAs for each series of exposures in the header of each table. For 3 point
generators, this is the calculated mAs value where mAs = mA X time in seconds (example for
160 mA and 125 ms, mAs = 160 X 0.125 = 20 mAs).
Use and disclosure is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this CPI document.
11. If linearity is to be measured, it is suggested that dose measurements be taken at this time for
entry into tables 6 and 7. Refer to 4.0 LINEARITY for details.
IN TABLES 1 TO 4, 3 POINT MEANS THAT FOR GENERATORS WHERE KV, MA, AND TIME
SELECTION IS AVAILABLE, THE KV, MA AND MS VALUES SHOWN SHOULD BE USED. FOR
GENERATORS WHERE 2 POINT OPERATION ONLY IS AVAILABLE, THE KV AND MAS VALUES
SHOWN SHOULD BE USED.

4.0 LINEARITY
1. Record two additional series of dose measurements for entry into tables 6 and 7:
• For table 6, use settings per table 3 EXCEPT use an mA (or mAs) value adjacent to the mA
(or mAs) setting used in table 3.
• For table 7, use settings per table 4 EXCEPT use an mA (or mAs) value adjacent to the mA
(or mAs) setting used in table 4.
• Record the mAs in the header of tables 6 and 7 as per 3.0 step 3.
1. Calculate and record the average dose K (kerma) in mGy for tables 6 and 7.
2. Record the preselected mAs and the average dose values taken from tables 3 and 4, and from
tables 6 and 7, at the top of the next page.
3. Using the appropriate mAs and K values, calculate X3, X4, X6, and X7 in tables 8 and 9.

Use and disclosure is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this CPI document.
1. Be sure the X-ray source assembly (X-ray tube and beam limiting device) is fully assembled and
functional.
3. Set the generator as follows: 3 point generators, 80 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 80 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs.
4. Take a series of three exposures and record the dose K (kerma) values in mGy in table 10.
Calculate and record the average of the three exposures.
5. Place 2 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 2 mm added), repeat the exposure and
record the K value in table 10.
6. Place an additional 1 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 3 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the K value in table 10.
7. Place an additional 3 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 6 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the K value in table 10.
8. The relative transmission for the average of the three K values where no Al was added is
assigned a value of 1.00. Using that base, assign relative transmission values to the remaining K
values. For example, if the average K value was 2.15 and has a relative transmission factor of
1.00, then 1.41 mGy will have a relative transmission of 1.41 / 2.15 = 0.66.
9. Plot the relative transmission values in figure 1. This should produce a straight line on the graph
since the X-axis is logarithmic.
10. Interpolate to determine the HVL. The Al thickness at a relative transmission of 0.5 will be the
required HVL value.
11. Repeat steps 4 to 10: 3 point generators, 100 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 100 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs. Use table 11 to record the values
and figure 2 to plot the results

By interpolating the thickness of Al at a relative transmission value of 0.5, it can be seen that the HVL is
approximately 3.3.

5.1.0 INTRODUCTION
®
The Indico IQ console will display status and error messages during normal and abnormal operation of the generator. This chapter
contains tables of those messages and suggests actions to be taken by service personnel to correct any malfunctions that may occur.
®
The messages shown cover all available Indico IQ options and configurations therefore the messages shown will depend on installed
options.
This chapter also contains tables that describe the status and diagnostic LEDs on various circuit boards.
®
5.1.1 INDICO IQ Power Up
®
When the Indico IQ generator is powered-up, the generator software will check the entire system. Included in this check are the following:
a) That the version of the software, if applicable, installed on the boards are up to date.
b) That the version number of the hardware being used is compatible with the entire system.
The generator typically powers up within 30 seconds. If a generator software update has been performed or a board assembly changed
then if necessary as determined in item a), it may take additional time for the generator to power up. If the generator system does not start
up quickly, DO NOT power it off immediately. Give the generator up to 10 minutes to process the update as required.
In the case of item b), a message will be issued on the console; make sure that replacement board(s) is/are compatible with the generator.

For failure category series 5xx (Generator I/O Error), the console error messages shown are the default room input error messages. Room
™
input error messages can be modified during setup and installation via GenWeb and in such cases, the message may differ from the
defaults listed here. The touchscreen and GenWeb display the modified messages but the R&F console does not. Also, some pre-
assigned error codes reserved for certain inputs are not customizable. To modify the error messages, go to Gen Config > I/O Setup > Inputs
> Error Msg in GenWeb™. Refer to the GenWeb® manual and MD-0977 in chapter 9 for additional information.
Errors are logged in the error log; service personnel should review the previous errors to determine if the errors are generator induced or
induced externally before taking further action.
*Note: An invasive meter is recommended, however if this is not possible, a non-invasive meter may be used provided extra precautions
are taken in order to read accurate kV. For more information, refer to Application Note for Using Non-invasive Meter in kV Measurement,

*Note: The generator purges the existing X-ray tube auto calibration data before the start of the auto calibration routine in order to save
the new calibration data. Therefore, auto calibration should be a last resort during general troubleshooting, and should only
be done to recalibrate the tube. For example, if a low mA fault is displayed, you should ensure that the generator is fully functional
and actually needs recalibration. If calibration is attempted on a partially functional generator the calibration data may be
incomplete.

This chapter provides a recommended schedule for periodic maintenance of the Indico IQ family of X-ray
generators.
The X-ray generator service / update record is included on the next page of this manual. The initial installation
date and location, as well as all service, maintenance and repairs should be recorded on this form.
The record should be as thorough as possible, detailing the scope and type of work that was performed (all
service and maintenance and a record of all replacement parts that were installed). Additionally, the person
performing the work should date and sign the record.
This information will be invaluable in the future for traceability and to ensure continued compatibility of the
generator.

Note: The high voltage receptacles on the HV module must either be filled with insulating oil (preferred) or
coated with vapour-proof insulating compound. The method used at the X-ray tube’s high voltage connectors is
at the discretion of the installer / service engineer, however it must be adequate to prevent arcs / flashover at
the X-ray tube end as tube high voltage arcs will impact the generator’s usability.
The oil is factory-filled to the correct level and the HV module is then sealed. An air-filled “bladder” within the
HV module will expand and contract as the oil volume changes with pressure and temperature changes. Field
maintenance is neither necessary nor possible with the HV module. If there is evidence of oil loss, contact CPI
customer support for assistance.
NOTE: FOR THE HV MODULE IN FIGURE 6-1, ENSURE THAT THE VENT TUBE (“VENT” IN FIGURE

6.5.0 CLEANING
• Do not use any liquids or solvents such as flux, water, acetone, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, or
ammonia to clean the surface of the R & F console LED display. Use a dry clean cloth and gentle wipe the
LED display to properly clean.
• If console surfaces need to be disinfected, use Actichlor or equivalent with a Hypochlorite concentration of
3 to 5%.
∗ Dilute the disinfectant 50/50 with water.
∗ Spray or dampen a lint-free cloth with the diluted disinfectant. The cloth must be damp only, not wet.
∗ Gently wipe the console surfaces with the damp cloth.
• Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
• Ensure that no water or other liquid enters the equipment. This precaution prevents short circuits and
corrosion forming on components.
• Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding disinfection and
explosion protection.
• If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have dissipated before
switching on the equipment again.
• Spray disinfectant is not recommended because it may enter the X-ray equipment.
• If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched OFF,
allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has subsided, the plastic
sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.
NOTE: A PERMANENT BACKUP FILE OF THE APR DATA SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE EVENT THE
CONSOLE SOFTWARE IS CORRUPTED OR A “CONSOLE DEFAULTS” IS REQUIRED. THE
BACKUP FILE SHOULD BE STORED ON AN EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE SUCH AS A
LAPTOP OR USB FLASH DRIVE.

G. Refer to Resetting Factory Defaults in this chapter before re-energizing the generator.
Troubleshooting firmware update problems:
Certain conditions might prevent the firmware update from being completed successfully. Follow the solutions
outlined here to fix the problem.
* If the message "Console type is not matched!" is displayed, this indicates that the software file is not
compatible with the console. Make sure the file you are using is the correct file for the console and that
the file is not corrupted.
* The computer COM port failed to communicate with the console. This can be caused by a couple of
problems:
1. Ensure that the correct serial cable type is used (null-modem) and that it is plugged in properly to the
correct ports on the computer and the console.
2. The COM port assignment (on the computer) may be wrong. If this is the case, do the following:
• If the version of the Genware32 Console Utilities is 1.1.0 or higher, click the Setup button on the
Flash Program Utility window. The setup window will open and allows you to change the Com Port
as shown. Select another Com Port, and then click OK. You may have to try consecutive Com
Ports by trial and error; repeating the process until the correct Com Port is selected.

o In Windows XP, click > START > Run, type 'FlashProgramUtility setup' into the >
Open: field, and click > OK.
o In Windows 7, click > START > type 'FlashProgramUtility setup' into the > Search
programs and files field, and click >Enter.
The Flash Program Utility as shown in Step F should be up on the screen at this point,
with the Setup button enabled. Click on the Setup button and select another Com
Port, then click OK. You may have to try consecutive Com Ports by trial and error
repeating the process until the correct Com Port is selected.
WARNING: WHEN POWERING ON THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER COMPLETION
OF THE FIRMWARE UPDATE, THE GENERATOR MAY TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES TO
UPDATE THE FIRMWARE FOR ALL OF THE SUBSYSTEMS. DURING THIS TIME, DO NOT
POWER OFF THE GENERATOR. WAIT FOR THE GENERATOR TO CLOSE ITS MAIN
CONTACTOR AND ENTER ITS STANDBY STATE.
The generator firmware is updated via GenWeb. Refer to the GenWeb™ documentation accompanying this
manual for guidance on how to upgrade the firmware on the generator. CPI will provide the generator firmware
if it is required.
When updating the generator firmware to revision 3.XX.XX on a Rev. D CPU board, the CPU will save a copy
of the generator firmware. This feature allows the generator to recover if an interruption or failure has occurred
during a firmware update. If a failure has occurred during an update, turn the generator OFF then back ON,
and restart the generator firmware updating process. This feature is only available for Rev. D CPU boards.
Lower Rev. CPU boards will not have this feature, and the CPU board will need to be returned to the factory if a
failure has occurred during a firmware update.
After updating the firmware, compare the installation report from before upgrading to after upgrading to verify
the generator settings are correct.
Verify from GenWeb™ or from the membrane console that the generator firmware revision number is correct
after the update is completed. The generator firmware revision is displayed when the console is first turned on.

6.6.3 Low Speed Starter 2/Dual Speed Starter 2 Firmware Upgrade
For LSS 2/DSS 2 board 903132-04 or 903132-03 in CAN bus mode, the firmware is embedded in the
generator firmware and is updated when the generator firmware is updated. The firmware will update if the
LSS 2/DSS 2 software revision number is different from the software revision number on the starter board.
Refer to Updating Generator Firmware in GenWeb™ user’s guide for instructions on how to update the
firmware.
If the generator is equipped with LSS 2/DSS 2 board 903132-00 or 903132-04 operating in Legacy mode,
the firmware is updated using a Serial EEPROM.
1. Switch the generator mains power OFF AND WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR THE DC BUS CAPACITORS TO
FULLY DISCHARGE.
2. Locate the Serial EEPROMs (U19 and U31, refer to chapter 1E, section 1E.2.3 and figure 1E-4).
Carefully remove (if applicable) and install the upgrade as required. Make sure the component(s) is/are
inserted in the orientation shown in figure 1E-4. Follow steps below after installing the EEPROM.
b) When generator is turned ON, the HEARTBEAT LED DS5 will start to flash very rapidly while the
software is being updated.
c) Wait until the HEARTBEAT LED DS5 flashing rate changes to 1 Hz (0.5s on; 0.5s off).
e) The Serial EEPROM at U31 can NOW be either removed from the socket or left in place.
f) Cycle the generator ON and observe that the HEARTBEAT LED DS5 is flashing as described in

Resetting of the factory defaults will restore the CPU’s NVRAM / flash memory contents to their factory default
state. This will be required if a major firmware upgrade is done. Minor firmware upgrades, such as revision
upgrades, do not require resetting of the factory defaults.
The factory defaults should not be reset casually as this will erase all custom programming made to
the console or generator.
Note: Be aware that the modified APR data will be lost with this process.
∗ This will initialize both the CONSOLE settings (refer to CONSOLE settings in chapter 3C) and the APR
to the factory default settings.
∗ The LOAD CONSOLE DEFAULTS setting automatically resets to NO the next time the generator is

2. Remove the front cover of the generator. Refer to chapter 2 Installation for instructions on how to
remove the cover.
3. Before proceeding, check the voltage of the new battery. This should be nominally 3.0 V, do not use if it
is under 2.85 V.
∗ Note the orientation of the battery in its holder once it is free of the cradle (“+” up).
∗ Gently remove the battery by using the two notches from the top and bottom of the battery holder.
NOTE: WHEN REMOVING THE BATTERY, AVOID USING ANY TOOLS TO PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THE CPU BOARD.
∗ Wipe the replacement battery with a clean cloth before inserting the battery.
∗ Gently insert the replacement battery into the holder, positive (+) side up.
∗ Confirm that the battery has been installed correctly before continuing.
Tube conditioning or “seasoning” is particularly important for new tubes or tubes that have not been used for
several days. This should also be performed on each X-ray tube before attempting auto calibration, as an
unseasoned tube may not operate properly at higher kV values without arcing. Refer to the X-ray tube
manufacturer’s instructions, if available, for the tube conditioning or “seasoning” procedure. If the X-ray tube
manufacturer’s instructions are not available, the following procedure may be used:
The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV, 80 kV, 100 kV and 120 kV. The tube
normally needs to be seasoned before it can be operated at the higher voltages encountered during auto
calibration.
Tube seasoning is started by auto calibrating the kV stations up to and including part of the 70 kV station. The
tube is then seasoned at 70 kV. Progressively higher kV stations are then auto calibrated and seasoned. Finally
the entire kV and mA range is auto calibrated, then the tube is seasoned at the remaining high kV values.
Manually releasing the exposure button during auto calibration of a particular kV station in the following
procedure prevents the generator from attempting operation beyond that kV/mA value.

NOTE: LOW SPEED ONLY EXPOSURES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR THE SEASONING EXPOSURES
IN ORDER TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP IN THE HOUSING FROM THE STATOR
WINDINGS OR THE ROTOR BEARINGS.
X-ray tubes that have not been used for more than 8 hours may suffer thermal shock if operated at high
mA and kV without a warm-up procedure. A cold anode (Molybdenum) is very brittle and when
suddenly heated over a small area may experience thermal cracking of the anode surface, eventually
leading to permanent tube damage.
X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear.
The procedure below is intended for seasoning an X-ray tube before attempting tube auto calibration. To
season a tube that does not need to be calibrated, simply follow steps 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9.
1. Note current RAD Anode Hangover value, then temporarily set this to 60 seconds.
2. Note the current maximum radiographic mA setting in the generator limits menu, then temporarily set
this to 250 mA.
3. Start the tube auto calibration sequence and immediately terminate the exposure when the calibration
is finished at 70 kV.
3. Season the tube at 70 kV by taking approximately 10 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
4. Restart the tube auto calibration sequence and immediately terminate the exposure when the
calibration is finished at 100 kV.
5. Season the tube at 100 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
6. Restart the tube auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration sequence to finish.
7. Season the tube at 120 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 160 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
8. Season the tube at 130 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 100 mA and 50 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
9. Repeat the previous step at 140 kV, and then at 145 kV.
10. Reset the radiographic mA and RAD Anode Hangover to the desired value (this was temporarily set to
250 mA, and 60 seconds in step 1 and 2), then restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto
calibration sequence to finish in its entirety.

7.1.0 INTRODUCTION
®
This chapter contains the theory of operation for the Indico IQ series of X-ray generators. The theory of
operation is organized by functional blocks as depicted in the functional drawings in chapter 9.
Warning: Various circuits described in this chapter operate at high voltage. Follow high voltage
safety procedures at all times and use extreme caution if live high voltage
measurements must be made.
The left side of this drawing shows the wiring from the ON and OFF switches on the X-ray mini-console,
and the R&F membrane console to the generator control board. These consoles connect to J3 and J9 on
the console connector board, respectively.
The generator control board includes power ON and OFF switches S1 and S2 that may be used to switch
the generator on and off locally while working on the equipment. These switches are connected in parallel
with the power ON and OFF switches that are located on the mini console, and the R&F console.
The +24 V supply (+24VSB) that powers the ON / OFF circuit is always on when the generator is
connected to live AC mains. It is independent of the ON / OFF status of the generator.
Pressing one of the power ON switches on the mini console, the R&F console, or on the generator control
board will turn on Q37 on the generator control board. This will turn Q36 on, holding the collector of Q36
low. Q37 is latched on via D118, Q40, Q39, D14 and R536 only if +12V turns on.
The collector of Q36 is connected to J23-16 via D74. J23-16 will be pulled low when the generator is
switched on, i.e. when Q36 is on. Pulling J23-16 low will start the generator power-on sequence as per DC
bus & power distribution (MD-0975), sheets 7 and 8.
A fault latch circuit, shown at the bottom right of MD-0976, is connected in parallel with the power OFF
switches described above. This circuit will switch the generator off under certain fault conditions, lighting
DS17 on the CPU board when active.
If JW26 is in the LOCKOUT position, the base of Q37 will be held high. This will prevent Q37 from turning
on, ensuring that the generator cannot be inadvertently switched on.
Pressing any of the OFF switches on the, mini console, or the R&F console will turn on Q38 on the
generator control board. This will turn Q37 off, turning off Q36. With Q36 off J23-16 will no longer be held
low, causing the generator to switch off.
For generator units using the touchscreen console (refer to MD-0976 sheet 2):
The touchscreen console requires the use of the mini-console to power on (or off) the generator (as
described above). The touchscreen ON switch turns on the console only which is powered by an external
power supply. Use only the IEC approved AC adaptor included with the touchscreen console.

7.2.3 DC bus & power distribution (MD-0975)
Assuming that no fault is detected during the start-up diagnostics, soft-start relay K3 will close when the
generator is switched on. This will cause the DC bus capacitors to charge via R1 & R38, R2 & R39 and D7
on the rectifier board. If the DC bus charges normally, i.e. to 87% of its final charge within approximately
10 seconds, soft-start relay K3 will open and the mains power contactor K1 will close. The DC bus voltage
is scaled by voltage dividers R25, R26, R27 and R30, R31, R32 on the rectifier board. The scaled DC bus
voltage is routed to J18-31 and J18-29 on the input distribution board.
The 400-480 VAC mains supply, rectified by D1 to D6, will turn on opto-coupler U1 on the rectifier board
when the soft-start relay K3 or the main power contactor K1 is closed. Opto-coupler U2 will be held on by
the +12V supply produced on the input distribution board. The outputs of U1 and U2, which are connected
in parallel, connect from the gate to emitter of Q1 on the rectifier board. This holds Q1 off, disabling the
DC bus discharge circuit when opto-couplers U1 or U2 are energized.
Opto-coupler U4 on the rectifier board will only turn on if the DC bus is discharging when the generator is
turned on, i.e. if the generator was turned off and then on again immediately or if Q1 turns on or fails
short-circuit while the generator is switched on. The output of U4, which should normally be high, is taken
to the auxiliary CPU board via J18-32 on the input distribution board.
When the generator is switched off, the 400-480 VAC mains will be removed from diode bridge D1 to D6,
causing U1 to turn off. The + 12V rail will also collapse, causing U2 to turn off. With U1 and U2 de-
energized, the short circuit is removed from the gate to emitter of Q1 on the rectifier board, therefore
allowing Q1 to turn on. The DC bus capacitors will then discharge rapidly through R51, R20 & R21, R23 &
R24, Q1, R43, and F1. A discharge over-current fault will cause F1 to fail open-circuit, isolating the
discharge circuit from the DC bus capacitors. LS1 will provide an audible warning to indicate that F1 has
failed and that the DC bus discharge path is open-circuit. The DC bus capacitors will not rapid-
discharge if F1 on the rectifier board is open-circuit.
The auxiliary CPU board in the generator automatically detects the line voltage. For 400 V units, K1 on the
input distribution board will close, connecting mains voltage to the two series-connected 200 V windings
on the primary of the room power transformer. For 480 V units, K2 will close, connecting mains voltage to
the series-connected 240 V windings on the room power transformer. K1 and K2 can be configured to only
close when the generator is switched on, or these relays can be configured to close whenever the AC
mains is on. This gives the option of the 24 VDC, 26 VAC, 110 VAC and 220 VAC supplies on the room
I/O board being on whenever AC mains is connected to the generator, or only when the generator is
switched on. The selection of these supplies being “on always” or “on only if the generator is on” is made
by JW2 on the input distribution board. Refer to page 4 of MD-0975 and to chapter 2 for details.
The driver circuit for the main power contactor K1 on the rectifier board is shown near the bottom right
side of sheet 1. When the soft-start pre-charge cycle is finished, K1 is closed via the PULL line which is
active for approximately 100mS. After this time, the contactor is held in place by pulling the HOLD line low
for as long as the generator is on. DS1 on the input distribution board turns on to indicate that the main
contactor K1 is closed.

The secondary of T1 has taps that provide the + 12V, ± 24V, and ± 35V supplies, and it also has a tap that powers
the switching regulator circuit on sheet 5. The DC supplies derived from T1 are designed for tight voltage tracking
between each of the outputs.
The base of Q5 will be held low when the generator is switched off, turning Q5 and U3 on. The relatively low series
resistance of R22, Q5 and U3 will quench Vgate 20V when the generator is off, disabling the switching circuit.
When the generator is switched on, the base of Q5 will be pulled high via circuits on page 5. This will turn Q5 and
U3 off, allowing Vgate 20V to rise to its nominal value, approximately 20 VDC. Simultaneously, variable width gate
drive pulses will be applied to Q9 directly and to Q10 via T2 whose primary is switched by Q6. The switching
transistors Q10 and Q9 drive the primary of T1, generating the + 12V, ± 24V, and ± 35V supplies when gate drive
pulses are present.
Also shown on sheet 3 is a zero-cross detector U5 that is used to determine the line frequency, a -12V regulator
U1 and a 24 VDC supply (+24VSB) that is active at all times that the generator is connected to live AC mains. This
is used for circuits that must be powered even with the generator switched off.
Lastly, the 400-480 VAC line voltage is scaled by voltage divider networks R65, R66 & R67, R70, R71 & R72 and
R76, R77 and R79. The scaled line voltage is then fed to the auxiliary CPU board via J18-24, J18-4 and J18-2 on
the input distribution board.

• The correct JW1 setting ensures that the software allows sufficient time for the DC bus capacitors to
charge before it looks for a “fully charged” condition. For 400-480 VAC 100 kW units, jumper JW1
pins 1-2. For all other units, jumper JW1 pins 2-3.
• For 400-480 V generators, J16-29 on the input distribution board is hard-wired to +12V.
If an emergency-off switch or a jumper is connected to the emergency-off contacts on J14 on the input
distribution board (page 4), the line connected to J4-34 on the auxiliary CPU board will be high (+24 V).
This will light DS15 and turn on U4 on the auxiliary CPU board. With U4 on, U7 will turn on when the
cathode of U7 is pulled low by the generator ON/OFF circuit as described next.
When the generator is switched on, the logic low signal from the ON/OFF circuit on the generator control
board makes its way to J4-38 on the auxiliary CPU board. This will turn on U7, assuming that U4 is on as
described above. With U7 on, pin J7-16 on the auxiliary CPU board will be pulled high. This will turn off Q5
on sheet 3, allowing the switching regulator to start its operation, generating the + 12V, ± 24V, and ± 35V
supplies. PWM regulator U25 on the auxiliary CPU board monitors the +12 V supply via U21. The PWM
regulator will adjust the pulse width (the “on” time) of Q10 and Q9 on the input distribution board in order
to regulate the +12 V output of the switching regulator on pages 5 and 6. Because of the tight voltage
tracking between the outputs of T1, regulating the +12 V output will regulate all outputs.
The switching regulator circuit includes a current-limit circuit consisting of Q18 and associated
components. Current-limit transistor Q18 will enter a high impedance state when excess current is
detected, for example when the “crowbar” is active as described below.
The crowbar will be activated if either Q1 or U3 on the auxiliary CPU board turn on, pulling the cathode of
U6 low. This will turn on latch Q8 and Q9, placing a low impedance path across the DC supply for the
PWM regulator and lighting DS16. With the crowbar active and Q18 in the resulting high impedance state,
the DC supply for the regulator will be quenched to the extent that the PWM regulator shuts down,
shutting down the switching regulator circuit. Note that the crowbar acts through zener diode D28 – it does
not take the voltage to zero.

An interlock at J4-32 on the auxiliary CPU board ensures that this board is firmly inserted into the input

Shown are four of the outputs and five of the inputs for microcontroller U5:
• The output at J4-3 on the auxiliary CPU board drives FET Q15 via R11/Q17 on the input distribution

• The output at J4-2 provides the drive for U10 on the input distribution board, shown on pages 1 to 2.

used internally on the CPU board, but the +5 V and +3.3 V supplies are also used by other circuits in
the generator.
• DS14 and associated circuits monitor the +5V_ISOL, +12V_ISOL and –12V_ISOL supplies. DS14 will
light if these voltage supplies are within preset limits.
• The +1 V, +1.2 V_PHY and +1.8 V regulators (U11, U34 and U39 respectively) each have an output
that is pulled low if the voltage output from these regulators falls below normal limits. DS19 will light
accordingly.

volatile RAM on the CPU board that stores thermal data. This ensures that the generator will continue
to track the heat units when it is switched off.

7.2.4 Room interface (MD-0977)
All digital inputs on this page have a 4-pin programming connector in series with each opto-coupler that
may be configured such that shorting the input via a relay contact or other low impedance switching device
turns on the opto-coupler, or these inputs may be configured such that applying 24 VDC across the input
energizes the opto-coupler.
The outputs of the opto-couplers (i.e. U11, U10, U9, etc) are fed to microcontroller U65 via data buffers.
U65 determines whether the output of each opto-coupler is “low” or “high”, and it communicates this
information to the main CPU via the CAN bus.
An external sync signal is applied to the input of U24. The external sync source can supply a minimum of
0 to 4V at 10mA or a maximum of 0 to 30V at 14mA at a switching threshold of 2.4V to energize U24. The
high-current draw prevents triggering an inadvertent exposure due to noise on the cables attached to the
sync input. The output of U24 on the room I/O board drives opto-coupler U4 on the generator control
board. From the output of U4, the sync signal is fed to the CPU board via schmitt-trigger buffer U74 on the
generator control board.
The room I/O board contains ambient temperature sensor U80 which will only function if the generator
software revision is 3.01.00 of later. If the generator software is an earlier version, the auxiliary control
board will monitor the temperature via the temperature sensor installed adjacent to the input distribution
board.
Sheet 1 also shows the +3.3 V regulator that powers microcontroller U65.
Also shown on sheet 2 are the circuits connected to the secondary of the room transformer (the primary of
the room transformer is shown on MD-0975 pages 1 to 4). The room transformer has the following
outputs:
• 220 VAC that is connected to TB4 on the room I/O board (page 4) and to TB1 (page 5). The 220 VAC
also drives opto-coupler U2, whose output is fed to microcontroller U65 via data buffer U32. This
provides detection for loss of the 220 VAC supply, typically indicating an open fuse F2 on the room I/O
board (the 220 VAC supply is optional).
• 110 VAC is connected to TB3 on the room I/O board (page 4) and to TB5 (page 5). The 110 VAC also
drives opto-coupler U1, whose output is fed to microcontroller U65 via data buffer U32. This provides
detection for loss of the 110 VAC supply, typically indicating an open fuse F1 on the room I/O board
(the 110 VAC supply is optional).

• The 26 VAC output is used for the collimator lamp. This is connected to TB18-1 and TB18-2 on page
8. It also drives opto-coupler U5, whose output is fed to microcontroller U65 via U32. This provides
loss-of-26 VAC detection, usually indicating an open fuse F3 on the room I/O board.
• The 19 VAC output is rectified by D6 to provide 24 VDC. The +24V supply is connected to TB2 (page
4) and to TB19-1 and TB19-2 (page 8). It also lights DS1 on the room I/O board. The 19 VAC supply
from each tap on the room transformer drives opto-couplers U3 and U4. The outputs of U3 and U4
are fed to microcontroller U65 via data buffer U32. These outputs provide detection for loss of the 19
VAC supply, typically indicating an open fuse F4 or F5 on the room I/O board.
The right side of page 3 shows two options for connecting the room door interlock switch. For fluoro
exposures, use Configuration A if you want new exposures to be inhibited if the door interlock switch is
open before the exposure starts but in-process fluoro exposures will not be interrupted if the door is
opened during a fluoro exposure. To inhibit new exposures if the door interlock switch is open before the
exposure starts and to stop in-process fluoro exposures if the door is opened during a fluoro exposure,
use Configuration B.
The next three outputs (outputs 5, 6 and 11) are dry relay contacts only. Output 8 can be configured as a
dry output or as a live output via JW23. The dry contact position is self-explanatory; in the live contact
position the relay outputs +24V when K11 closes.
All outputs on page 4 except output 11 have an R-C snubber connected across the relay contacts. These
snubbers are designed to quench arcs that can result when the relay opens if the output is connected to
an inductive load. If the output drives an opto-coupler or other low current device, the leakage current
through the R-C snubber when the relay is open can result in sufficient current to energize the load. If this
is observed, the snubber should be disabled by removing the shorting jumper, i.e. to disable C9 & R17
remove JW9.
Microcontroller U65 drives the relay coils via U69 and U70. The main CPU communicates with the
microcontroller via the CAN bus.
Sheet 5 also shows ALE (Actual Length of Exposure) and X-ray “on” outputs that provide an indication of
X-ray exposure time. The X-ray on output via K16 is not accurate for short exposures due to response
time of the relay, while the bidirectional ALE output (ALE OUT) provides a highly accurate indication of
exposure time.

Drivers U69 and U70, whose outputs are connected in parallel, drive relay K16 and opto-coupler U61. U69
is driven under software control via microcontroller U65 when high voltage is requested while U70 is
driven by a hardware-generated high voltage “on” signal (HV ON) that is active whenever high voltage is
on.
Lastly, sheet 5 shows 110 VAC outputs at TB5-1 to TB5-4 and 220 VAC outputs at TB1-1 to TB1-4. These
outputs are available to drive 110 / 220 VAC loads that are within the current ratings shown.
If HS INPUT 7 (TB16-7 to ground) is active, DS8 will light and U57 & U38 will turn on. With U38 on, its
output will be low. The main CPU monitors the output of U38 via U14 on the room I/O board and U44 on
the generator control board. A logic low at the output of U38 tells the CPU that an input request has been
received via HS INPUT 7.
In response to the exposure request, the CPU will pull the emitter of U57 low via U44 on the generator
control board and U18 & U68 on the room I/O board. With the emitter of U57 low and U57 turned on, the
collector of U57 will be pulled low. The resulting EXPOSURE ENABLE signal, which must be low in order
for an exposure to be made, is routed to the generator control board where it inhibits the MOSFET gate
drive signals as described under MD-0979.
Sheet 6 (and 7) also shows a last-image hold circuit, composed of U62, U59, C68, R205-207, U63, D40-
47. This circuit will add up to 80 milliseconds after the fluoro foot switch has been released. The
Exposure Enable will be active for the duration of the fluoro exposure plus the time of the “Last Image
Hold (ms)” setting, up to 50 ms, in the receptor setup menu (Chapter 3C). This circuit will be active if the
exposure is activated via the room interface using any of the high-speed inputs indicated. To do this,
remove the jumper block on any of the JW45-JW52, corresponding to the high-speed input that needs to
utilize the last-image hold circuit.
The remaining HS inputs on pages 6 and 7 operate in a similar fashion to that described above.
The room I/O board also includes an exposure sound output jack, shown at the top of page 8. This can
drive an external speaker (minimum 8 ohms, do not use externally amplified speakers).
Lastly, sheet 8 shows 26 VAC outputs at TB18-1 and TB18-2 for a collimator lamp and 24 VDC outputs at
TB19-1 and TB19-2 for devices such as tube stand locks. The maximum current rating for these sources
is shown.

The inverter temperature sensor is mounted on a thermal sensor board that is attached to one of the
inverter 1 heat sinks. The output of the inverter temperature sensor is connected to J7-2 on the input
distribution board. From the input distribution board, the sensor output is taken to the input of U31A on the
auxiliary CPU board. The sensor output, 10 mV / °C, is amplified by U31A and fed to microcontroller U5
on the auxiliary CPU board. U5 processes the inverter temperature signal and sends the inverter
temperature data to the main CPU via the CAN bus.
The ambient temperature sensor is mounted on the chassis below the filament boards. The output of this
sensor is taken to J7-8 on the input distribution board. The sensor output (10 mV / °C) is routed to the
input of U32A on the auxiliary CPU board. The sensor output is amplified by U32A and fed to
microcontroller U5 on the auxiliary CPU board. U5 processes the ambient temperature signal and sends
the ambient temperature data to the main CPU via the CAN bus. The generator uses the ambient
temperature data for its duty cycle calculations.
The X-ray tube thermal switch inputs are part of the chassis-mounted stator terminal blocks. These
terminal blocks are mounted on the chassis above the HT module. The tube 1 thermal switch connections
are routed to J11-1 on the input distribution board, and the tube 2 thermal connections are brought to J11-
2 on the input distribution board. Closed X-ray tube thermal switches will turn on opto-couplers U29 and
U30 on the auxiliary CPU board for tube 1 and tube 2, respectively. Therefore, the output of U29 will be
low if the tube 1 thermal switch is closed and the output of U30 will be low if the tube 2 thermal switch is
closed. Microcontroller U5, which monitors the outputs of U29 and U30, sends the tube 1 / tube 2 thermal
switch status to the main CPU via the CAN bus.
Microcontroller U5 on the auxiliary CPU board supplies a DC control voltage to U4 on the input distribution
board that is proportional to the required fan speed. Pulse width modulator U4 converts this DC voltage to
variable width pulses where the pulse width is proportional to the fan voltage (no pulses = 0 V = fans off,
50% duty cycle pulses = 12 V = fans at high speed). The variable-width pulses drive Q8 on the input
distribution board, which in turn drives the fans. Each fan has a tachometer output, which is a pulse rate
proportional to the actual fan speed. The tachometer output from each fan is fed to MUX U24 on the
auxiliary CPU board and then to microcontroller U5. The microcontroller sends the fan speed data to the
main CPU via the CAN bus, where it is used to trigger an error message should any of the fans be locked-
up.
The auxiliary CPU board controls the drive signals required by the tube 1 / tube 2 select relay. When tube
2 is selected, microcontroller U5 through driver U10 will momentarily trigger the PULL line, providing a
+130VDC power to the tube select relay in the HV module closing it quickly. After approximately 100-
millisecond, U5 and U10 on the auxiliary CPU board turns on the +24 volts to the coil of the tube select
relay via the HOLD line, keeping it in the closed position while tube 2 is selected. A LED indicator, DS4, on
the input distribution board turns on to indicate that tube 2 is selected.

The tube 1 / tube 2 switch in the HV module includes a set of contacts that close in the tube 2 position.
Assuming that the tube 1 / tube 2 switch is closed so that tube 2 is selected, +12 V will be provided to J22-
1 on the input distribution board. This will turn on U9 and U8 on the input distribution board, pulling the line
at J18-23 on the input distribution board high and J18-27 low in the tube 2 position. For the tube 1
position, the logic levels on these two lines will be reversed. Microcontroller U5 on the auxiliary CPU board
monitors the tube 1 / tube 2 tellback signals from the outputs of the opto-couplers. The tube 1 / tube 2
tellback data is sent by the microcontroller to the main CPU via the CAN bus, where an error message will
be displayed if the tube 1 / tube 2 tellback signals do not match the requested tube selection.
Pressing Prep on the console or on the hand switch will pull J4-7 on the generator control board low via
U2 on the console board and the console connector board. This will turn on U103 on the generator control
board. The output of U103 is monitored by the main CPU via U58 and U49 on the generator control board.
The CPU recognizes a prep request when the output of U103 is low, i.e. during the prep state.
Pressing X-ray on the console or on the hand switch will pull J4-9 on the generator control board low via
U4 on the console board and the console connector board. This will turn on U110 and U109 on the
generator control board. The output of U110 is monitored by the CPU via U33 and U49 on the generator
control board. An X-ray request is recognized by the CPU when the output of U110 is low. When the CPU
receives an X-ray request, it will pull the emitter of U109 low via U49, U32 and Q53 on the generator
control board. With U109 turned on and the emitter of U109 held low, the collector of U109 will be held
low. The line connected to the collector of U109 is the Exposure Enable line; an X-ray exposure is only
allowed when this line is low. Further details are on page 4.
Pressing the fluoro foot switch, if fitted, will pull J4-1 on the generator control board low via U3 on the
console board and the console connector board. This will turn on U107, U106 and U105 on the generator
control board. The output of U107 is monitored by the CPU via U55 and U49 on the generator control
board. The CPU recognizes a fluoro exposure request when the output of U107 is low. When the CPU
recognizes a fluoro exposure request, it will pull the emitter of U106 low via U49, U32 and Q52 on the
generator control board. With the emitter of U106 held low and U106 turned on, the collector of U106 will
be low. The line connected to the collector of U106 is the Exposure Enable line as described on page 4.
The generator control board contains a last-image hold circuit consisting of U105, U9, U104, C10 etc. The
last image hold circuit will keep U104 on for up to 80 milliseconds after the fluoro foot switch has been
released. The emitter of U104 will be held low by the main CPU for the duration of the fluoro exposure
request plus the time of the “Last Image Hold (ms)” setting, up to 50 ms, in the receptor setup menu
(chapter 3C). This will hold the collector of U104 low for the duration of the requested fluoro exposure.
The collector of U104 is tied to the Exposure Enable line, which is described on page 4. The last image
and hold circuit can be disabled for radiographic exposures by jumpering JW16 to pins 2 & 3. Jumpering
JW17 to pins 2 & 3 enables the last image hold function for any exposure switch inputs wired via the
digital interface board.
The X-ray mini-console connects to J3 and the touchscreen console connects to J9 on the generator

For the R&F membrane console, the console CPU (U18) monitors the output of U3, U2 and U4 on the
console board, recognizing a foot switch closure via-the-console when the output of U3 is low, a console
prep request when the output of U2 is low, and a console X-ray request when the output of U4 is low.
The Exposure Enable line from page 1 is connected to the base of Q32 via R389 on the generator
control board. This will be low during a valid exposure request. This will turn Q32 on and Q31 off. With
Q31 off, diodes D103, D104 and D109 will isolate Q31 from the bases of Q27, Q28 and Q33, respectively.
In addition to the Exposure Enable line being low, two other conditions are required to enable an X-ray
exposure:
• The line connected to J32-47 on the generator control board must be low.
• The line connected to J31-21 on the generator control board must be high.
If the line connected to J32-47 on the generator control board is low, Q29 will be off. If the line connected
to J31-21 on the generator control board is high, Q47 will be on and Q27 will be off. With Q29 and Q27
off, the Drive Enable line will be pulled high via R386. The Drive Enable line enables a pair of AND gates
that are part of the inverter gate drive circuit. This is described under kV control and feedback (MD-
0980).
If the Exposure Enable line from page 1 is high (no exposure request), Q32 will be held off and Q31 will
be turned on. This will supply +5 V to the bases of Q27, Q28 and Q33 via D103, D104 and D109,
respectively. This will turn Q27, Q28 and Q33 on. Q27 and Q28 will hold the Drive Enable line low,
inhibiting inverter gate drive pulses and Q33 will turn Q34 on, inhibiting kV demand as described below.
Q33 on the generator control board will turn on when the output of Q47 is high, i.e. when the generator is
not ready for an exposure. This will turn on Q34, supplying +15 V at the cathode of D56. This is connected
to the input of the error amplifier, holding the error amplifier in the “no kV demanded” state. When the
generator is ready to expose, Q33 will turn off, turning Q34 off, thus isolating +15 V from the input of the
error amplifier. Further details are in MD-0980.

7.2.7 kV control and feedback (MD-0980)
The HT primary current is sampled by T4 on the generator control board and is rectified by D98 to D101 to
produce a current-limit signal, which is a negative voltage proportional to the primary current. This is fed to
the input of U72B, where it will limit the kV demand if the primary current exceeds normal limits. The
output of the full-wave rectifier on the output of T4 is also taken to comparator U118, which generates a
fault pulse if excessive HT primary current is sensed. This fault pulse is fed directly to the CPU, such that
the presence of a fault will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive-enable signals, inhibiting
the inverter gate drive thus preventing inverter damage due to an over-current condition.
The output of U72B will swing increasingly negative for increased kV demand. This kV demand voltage is
buffered and inverted by U68A and then routed to the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).
The VCO generates complementary output pulses that vary in frequency. The frequency of these pulses is
inversely proportional to demanded generator output power. The current sense feedback from T5
synchronizes the start of the pulses.
The output pulses from the VCO are fed to one set of inputs on AND gates U45B and U45C. The Drive
Enable signal from MD-0979 is routed to the VCO and also to the second set of inputs on U45B and
U45C, enabling the VCO and the AND gates if all logic conditions to allow an X-ray exposure are satisfied
(Drive Enable signal high). The gate pulses from U45B and U45C are fed to MOSFET driver U37, which
drives the gates of the MOSFET drivers on the generator control board as shown on page 2. A
supervisory circuit on the CPU board disables U37 until the CPU reset signal is de-activated.
The differential kV feedback voltage from the HV module is brought to J22 on the generator control board.
This is fed to the inputs of U73A and U73B, where the kV feedback scaling is precisely set by R195 (Note:
R195 SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED ONCE IT LEAVES THE FACTORY). The differential feedback signals are
then summed by U77A. The output of U77A supplies a kV feedback signal to error amplifier U72A as
described earlier and to U76B as described below. The kV feedback signal is also fed to the generator
CPU via buffer U122 and A/D converter U62 on the generator control board, where it is used to monitor
the output voltage during an exposure. Lastly, the kV feedback signal is routed to the high kV detector
U82 on the generator control board. U82 will produce a positive-going pulse when the kV exceeds
approximately 132 kV for 125 kV generators and 157 kV for 150 kV generators. This positive going pulse
is fed to the generator CPU, where it will inhibit the inverter gate drives if an over-voltage condition is
detected. Jumper JW25 must be set to the generators maximum kV rating, shorting pins 1-2 for 125 kV
generators and pins 2-3 for 150 kV generators. This jumper should not be adjusted inadvertently and
should match the generator power level.
The output of kV reference buffer U80A on the generator control board is also fed to the input of U76A,
which is part of the “HV ON” circuit. The kV reference signal is inverted by U76A and summed with the kV
feedback signal at the input of U76B. The output of U76B drives Q35, which produces a logic high HV ON
signal when the high voltage is on, if jumper JW22 is in position 1 & 2 (default setting for backwards
compatibility).
If jumper JW22 is in position 2 & 3, there is improved timing accuracy for some configurations, such as
system installations using ADR (Active Dose Reduction).

The HV ON signal is brought to the room I/O board where it is used to drive the ALE OUT opto-coupler as
described in MD-0977 page 5, and to the digital interface board (MD-0987) where it is available for digital
imaging systems that require this signal to synchronize the exposure.
During radiographic and pulsed fluoro operation, contactor K1 on the resonant assembly shorts out the
resonant inductor. This inductor is in circuit during continuous fluoroscopy, and it optimizes the output
tuning during this mode of operation. The drive circuit for K1 is described in the section ADR, Fluoro
Select, & Power Mode Select (MD-0984).
For 80 and 100 kW units, the drive to inverter board #3 is disabled by relay K2 on the generator control
board during low power operation as described in ADR, Fluoro Select, & Power Mode Select (MD-
0984). In addition to the drive for inverter #3 being disabled during low power operation, the output of
inverter #3 is disconnected from the HV module by relay K2 on the resonant assembly.
The left side of page 3 shows inverter fault detectors that protect against an inverter “shoot-through” fault.
If an inverter shoot-through fault is sensed, current sense transformers on the inverter board(s) will supply
a current pulse that is fed to the generator control board at J10-4 & 8, J10-6 & 7 or J10-1 & 5, depending
on the number of inverter boards. The over-current condition is detected by comparator circuits on the
generator control board, resulting in a positive-going pulse that is fed to the generator CPU via the output
of the inverter 1 fault detector, the inverter 2 fault detector or the inverter 3 fault detector. The generator
CPU will immediately disable gate drive pulses if an inverter “shoot-through” fault is detected.
The HV module is not field-repairable. Defective HV modules must be exchanged with equivalent units.

7.2.8 Filament drive and mA control (MD-0981)
The outputs of U83A and U83B are clamped to zero under the conditions stated below by Q20 and Q19.
Both transistors are held on by U85 on the generator control board until the power-on reset signal from the
CPU board is de-activated. The main CPU also controls Q19 and Q20 via D69 and D70 respectively, on
the generator control board. These transistors are turned off by the main CPU when the generator is in
non-error state.
For the large / single board filament supply, the filament current feedback (scaled 1 V = 1 A) is buffered by
U90A and then fed to A/D converter U62. The filament current feedback for the small filament supply, if
used, is buffered by U90B and also fed to A/D converter U62. The output of the A/D converter is fed to the
main CPU where it is monitored in order to confirm that the actual filament current is equal to the
requested filament current.
The filament board(s) will output a filament fault signal at J2-10 that indicates that filament current is below
approximately 1.7 amps. For the large / single board filament supply, the filament fault signal will turn off
opto-coupler U129 on the generator control board and for the small filament supply board it will turn off
opto-coupler U128. The output of each opto-coupler is monitored by the CPU via U31 and U49 on the
generator control board. The CPU will inhibit further exposures and cause a filament fault error message
to be displayed if a filament fault is detected.
For generators with a single board filament supply, the CPU will turn on Q22 on the generator control
board when the small filament is to be selected. The collector of Q22 drives the coil of the large / small
filament-select relay on the single board filament supply, energizing the filament-select relay when the
small filament is requested. Refer to page 2 for further details.

The filament reference voltage from the output of U1B is summed with the filament feedback voltage at
the input of error amplifier U4B. When the filament reference voltage is greater than the filament feedback
voltage, the output of U4B rises, causing the pulse width at the output of U3 to increase.
PWM (pulse width modulator) U3 drives MOSFETs Q6, Q7, Q12 and Q13 via common-base drivers Q2,
Q3, Q8 and Q9. The MOSFETs, which form a full bridge inverter, convert the + and - 35 V supplies to high
frequency AC to drive the primary of the filament transformers at the filament switching frequency
(approximately 40 kHz) via C22, the primary of T1, R96 and R97 or K1, J5 on the filament supply board
and J4 on the HVM lid board.
For units with two separate filament supply boards, R97 is fitted on the large filament board and R96 is
fitted on the small filament board. The primary of the large filament transformer in the HV module will be
driven via J5-1 and J5-2 on the large filament supply board and the primary of the small filament
transformer will be driven via J5-3 and J5-4 on the small filament supply board.
For units with a single board filament supply, R97 will be removed and K1 will be installed. The primary of
the large filament transformer in the HV module will be driven via J5-1 and J5-2 on the single board
filament supply and the primary of the small filament transformer will be driven via J5-3 and J5-4 on the
same board.
The filament transformers in the HV module provide high voltage isolation and drive the X-ray tube
filaments via the cathode high voltage connector as shown.
The output from the secondary of filament current sense transformer T1 is rectified by D12, D13, D27 and
D28 and fed to the RMS converter circuit consisting of U7 and associated components. The output of the
RMS converter circuit drives U4A, which is a variable gain amplifier. The filament current feedback is
calibrated by R21 such that 1 volt = 1 amp of filament current. The calibrated filament feedback voltage,
representing actual filament current, appears at the input of buffer U2B and at the summing input of error
amplifier U4B where it is summed with the filament reference voltage as described above.
The output of U2B, which is also scaled 1 V = 1 amp of filament current, is brought to J2-2 on the large /
single board filament supply, and to J2-4 on the small filament supply board. The filament current
feedback signal(s) are then brought to the CPU via the generator control board as shown on page 1.
The filament feedback voltage from the output of U2B is compared with a preset reference voltage by
U2A. The output of U2A will swing low if the filament current drops below approximately 1.7 amps,
indicating a filament fault. This will turn off Q1 on the filament supply board, pulling J2-10 on the filament
board high via R242, DS23, U129 and / or R241, DS22 and U128 on the generator control board.

7.2.8 Filament drive and mA control (Cont)
The “ground” sides of the high voltage boards in the HV module are connected to the mA test jack E17 -
E18 on the HVM lid board. Transient protectors on the HVM lid board clamp the voltage across the mA
measuring device during high voltage arcs and prevent the voltage at E17 and E18 from rising above
approximately 15 volts if the shorting strap for the mA test jack is removed.
The anode mA feedback at J22-1 and J22-2 on the generator control board, which is scaled
approximately 0.4 volts = 100 mA of anode current, is fed to the input of differential amplifier U64B. The
output of U64B is taken to the anode over-current detector U63, which will generate a positive-going pulse
during an anode over-current condition. The CPU, which monitors the output of U63, will immediately
disable the kV and display an anode mA error message if an anode over-current fault is detected.
The output of U64B is also connected to JW30. With JW30 jumpered from pins 2-3 (factory-default
setting), the anode current feedback will be fed to the inputs of U56A and U57. U56A provides a scaled
mA feedback voltage, calibrated by R148, such that 1 volt = approximately 100 mA at the output of U56A.
The output of U56A is fed to A/D converter U62 on page 1. The main CPU uses the mA feedback to
adjust the filament current in order to ensure that the actual X-ray tube current is equal to the requested
mA.
The output of U56A is also fed to U52A, which has a voltage gain of 10. This scales the anode current 1
volt = approximately 10 mA. The output of U52A is fed to A/D converter U62 on page 1. This “high
sensitivity” mA feedback signal provides improved accuracy at low mA.
U57 is a high gain amplifier that provides a scaled mA feedback voltage 1 volt = approximately 2.0 mA.
R194 calibrates the mA feedback and R193 provides offset voltage adjustment. The output of U57 is fed
to the CPU via U52B and A/D converter U62 on page 1. This mA feedback path provides increased mA
accuracy during fluoroscopy.
The cathode mA feedback at J22-3 and J22-4 on the generator control board is used for cathode over-
current detection and may be used for X-ray tube mA monitoring (future applications only). The cathode
mA feedback is brought to the input of differential amplifier U64A. The output of U64A is taken to the
cathode over current detector U78, which will generate a positive-going pulse during a cathode over-
current condition. The generator CPU, which monitors the output of U78, will immediately disable the kV
and display a cathode mA error message if a cathode over-current fault is detected.
The output of U64A is also connected to the input of U138, where it is inverted. The output of U138 is then
connected to JW30, such that setting JW30 to jumper from pins 1 to 2 will result in cathode current being
measured. JW30 must remain in the factory default position, shorting pins 2 to 3. The “cathode”
position, JW30 pins 1-2 is intended only for specific configurations.

Power is supplied from J5 of the generator control board to J8 of the dual speed starter board. This
12VDC is: 1) used to supply the circuits that drive gates and relays and 2) is converted to power the low
voltage logic circuits requiring 5VDC via linear regulator U33 and 3.3VDC via switching regulator U27.
The microcontroller U20 will read the DIP SW 1,2,3 and 8 during power up to determine the configuration
and operating mode of the LSS 2/DSS 2. It will use this information to determine which relays to drive via
U24, as well as the drive parameters used for a particular tube. The setting of DIP switches SW1 and
SW2 determines, for tube 1 and 2 respectively, all stator drive parameters, i.e., boost voltage and boost
time, run voltage, brake voltage and brake time, etc. DIP SW3 is used to select the configuration of the
shift capacitors used in the subassembly, while SW8 is used to: select between CAN bus or Legacy
mode, select the board assembly number, and enable or disable other software configurable options
supported by the board.
The generator CPU will determine whether the pending exposure should be made at low-speed or high-
speed operation. The CPU will output the high-speed / low-speed command which is sent via data latch
U29 and driver U19. The LSS 2/DSS 2 receives the command via opto-isolator U12, microcontroller U20
sets low or high-speed operation accordingly. The main CPU determines the selection of tube 1 or 2 via
data latch U29, driver U19. The LSS 2/DSS 2 board receives the command via opto-isolator U14,
microcontroller U20 selects tube 1 or 2.
The CPU will output the prep command to data buffer U49, data latch U29 and driver U19 on the
generator control board. A low output on driver U19 will light DS11 on the generator control board and light
DS7 on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. The microcontroller monitors the output of the opto-isolator U13 and
starts the boost cycle based on the output of the opto-isolator.
After the prep cycle, the microcontroller on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board will output an active low to the input of
driver circuits U24 via the Ready signal. The driver circuits will output a low signal on the LSS 2/DSS 2
board and turn of DS11. DS10 and U98 on the generator control board will turn ON. The CPU will monitor
the output of opto-isolator U98 via data buffer U49 and U31 for the Ready signal.
The current operation of the LSS 2/DSS 2 is displayed on the 7 segment LEDs. Different lit LEDs will

7.2.9 Low Speed Starter 2/Dual Speed Starter 2 (Cont)
The Low Speed Starter 2(LSS 2) functions in the same manner as the Dual Speed Starter 2(DSS 2). The
main differences between the two boards are the shift capacitors used and the LSS 2 does not provide
high speed operation.
The LSS 2/DSS 2 has two modes of operation, remote configuration mode and local configuration mode.
The mode of operation is determined by the setting of switch 7 on SW8 .
Power is supplied from J5 on the generator control board to J8 of the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. This 12VDC is
used to supply the circuits that drive gates and relays and is converted to power the low voltage logic
circuits requiring 5VDC via linear regulator U33 and 3.3VDC via switching regulator U27.
During power up and initialization of the generator, the ACB will monitor the mains input voltage of
400VAC or 480VAC. This information is sent to microcontroller U20 on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. DS5
(Heartbeat) on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board will flash at 1Hz (if no errors have been detected) to indicate the
microcontroller is operational. DS3 and DS4 will flash ON and OFF to indicate there is CAN bus
communication between the main CPU and the LSS 2/DSS 2 board.
When prep is enabled from the console, the main CPU sends this command to the LSS 2/DSS 2 board
through the CAN bus. The main CPU waits for the rotor status from microcontroller U20 on the LSS
2/DSS 2 board. The CPU will output the high-speed / low-speed command which is sent via the CAN bus
to U130, U16, and J11 on the generator control board. The LSS 2/DSS 2 receives this command via J4/J5
(see MD-0990), U22, U21 and microcontroller U20, which sets low or high-speed operation accordingly.
The selection of tube 1 or 2 operation is also determined by the main CPU and sent via the CAN bus lines
In remote configuration mode the tube type number, which is selected via GenWeb™, will provide the
CPU with the stator drive parameters such as the boost voltage, boost time, run voltage, brake voltage
and brake time. The stator drive parameters from the main CPU are sent to Microcontroller U20 via U21
and U22 on the LSS2/DSS 2 board when prep is enabled.
In local configuration mode the stators drive parameters are set by configuring DIP switches SW1 and
SW2 (only configured for 2 tube stator) on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. Microcontroller U20 will monitor DIP
switches SW1 and SW2 via shift registers U17 and U18. Microcontroller U20 will provide the stator drive
parameters to drive the X-ray tube when prep is enabled.
Microcontroller U20 on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board will read DIP-switch SW3 and SW8 during power up to
determine if the configuration of the shift capacitors and the board’s operating mode is correct.
The current operation of the LSS 2/DSS 2 is displayed on the 7 segment LEDs. Different lit LEDs will
correspond to the different operational states such as, initialization, standby and low speed run. The 7
segment LEDs will also display different errors as described in chapter 5 of troubleshooting.

The DC bus voltage used to power the inverter is brought from E18 and E19 of the rectifier board to E9
and E10 of the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. Current sensors U39 and U40 whose outputs are sent to the
microcontroller via U41 and U43 measure and monitor the DC bus. If the current is beyond the normal
operating range, U10 will latch into a state that shuts down the gate drive circuits preventing damage. At
the same time during this state, the microcontroller receives this status via the IDC TRIP line. With the IGBT
shut down, DS1 will be lit, indicating an inverter fault, inhibiting further operation until the error is cleared
through a generator restart.
To drive the anode of the X-ray tube, the DC bus voltage is modulated to produce a sinusoidal current, the
value of which is calculated by the microcontroller using pulse width modulation to provide the tube with
the right amount of drive, via gate drive lines Driver 1 and Driver 2. These drive signals are ANDed with
the Enable signal (U11, Q5, Q6, etc.), whose state is determined by the microcontroller depending on the
status of the generator. Furthermore, if one of the drive signals is locked up at a wrong state, U28 will
latch a value disabling the Enable signal providing additional protection. U11 and U28 will also send a
signal to tell the microcontroller the status of the gate drives, e.g. whether it is enabled or not.
In CAN bus mode, the DC bus (VBUS at TP2) is also monitored via U26 and its associated resistor divider
circuits, so the correct amount of voltage drive can be calculated for the tube in use, regardless of whether
the generator is connected to a 400VAC or 480VAC line, which results in a DC bus voltage of
approximately 560VDC to 680VDC. The voltage drive produced by the LSS 2/DSS 2 board inverter, Q1 to
Q4, is independent of the line voltage frequency and can be at 50, 60, 100, 150, or 180 Hz, using precise
switching of the DC bus. The microcontroller on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board controls the switching of the
inverter via the driver circuit consisting of U1-U11 and T1-T4.
The main and shift currents of the tube are also measured via U34 and U35 respectively. These values
are sent to the microcontroller for monitoring. If the values are outside of their normal range, the Enable
signal is disabled, U20 microcontroller on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board sends the error status and error
message to the generator CPU board via the CAN bus, and consequently inhibiting further generator
operation.
K1 on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board will close at the start of the prep cycle if tube 1 is selected, and K2 will close
if tube 2 is selected. K4 will close at the same time that K1 or K2 is energized. This ensures that the high
voltage is isolated from the stator terminals at all times except during normal operation of the LSS 2/DSS
2.
The modulated output from the inverter is fed to the common stator terminal via one leg of the inverter and
via K4. The main current is taken from the other leg of the inverter passing the current sensor U34 into
K1-B and K2-A for tube 1 and tube 2 respectively. The main current branches off to the shift capacitors
whose output is measured by current sensor U35 and into K1-A and K2-B for tube 1 and tube 2
respectively.
Shift capacitor selections are switched using relays K3, K5 and K7. Depending on the shift capacitors
installed, the relays are configured to produce the right combination of capacitance required by the tube.
In order to do this, DIP SW3 of the LSS 2/DSS 2 board should be configured properly during installation.
See chapter 2 of the service manual for more information.
J6 allows connections to the tube thermal switches but ARE CURRENTLY RESERVED FOR FUTURE
USE ONLY AND IS NOT APPLICABLE AT THIS TIME. Pins 1-2 is for tube 1 and pins 3-4 is for tube 2.
When used, the microcontroller will inhibit the exposures if the tube thermal switch opens such as when
the tube is overheated.
Updates to tube drive parameters can be done using EEPROMs at locations U31 or U19, if applicable.
Depending on the requirement, one or both EEPROMs can be installed in the field.
• Switches SW4 to SW7 may be used to test the dual-speed starter circuits for tube 1 and tube 2 in
both low and high-speed modes. These inputs go directly to the microcontroller.
• 7-segment display DS2 will display error codes for the LSS 2/DSS 2. See troubleshooting section,
chapter 5 of this manual.
• DS5 will flash at a 1 Hz rate to indicate that microcontroller U20 is operational.
• The settings for SW3 and SW8 are described in chapter 2 of this manual.
• In normal CAN bus mode, microcontroller U20 will output a low signal and turn on opto-isolator U30
on the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. The CPU/generator CPU board will monitor the output of U30 to detect the
presence of the LSS 2/DSS 2 board. See MD-0990 and MD-0983 for details.
The AEC ramp voltage (PT RAMP) from the AEC board is scaled by R189 and R188 and then fed to A/D
converter U62. The CPU monitors the output of the A/D converter during an AEC exposure.
The AEC board will generate the PT stop signal when the magnitude of the AEC ramp is equal to the AEC
reference voltage. This signal, which will switch low when the exposure is to be terminated, is fed to the
main CPU via U79A on the generator control board. An active PT stop signal will terminate the AEC
exposure immediately.
The chamber-select signals exit from the generator control board as shown on sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U3B, U3C, U3D and U3F and connected to the control inputs of
the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the selected
AEC input channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to
preamplifier U1A, which provides voltage gain. The input of U1A will be configured such that U1A is a non-
inverting amplifier for use with AEC chambers that have a positive going output and as an inverting
amplifier for use with chambers with a negative voltage output.
The start signal also originates on the generator control board. This signal, when active, will cause DS5 on
the AEC board to be lit. The start signal is buffered and inverted by U3E and U3A, and will be logic low at
the output of U3A when the start signal is active. This opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U2A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U1A during standby
operation and subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U2A is proportional to the AEC chamber output voltage only, and is not influenced by noise.

The AEC ramp from U4B is fed to the generator control board where it is processed as described earlier in
this section and also fed to comparator U6 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC reference
voltage. The output of U6 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp equals the
reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.
The START and LEFT, MIDDLE and RIGHT field select signals from the generator are brought to the
AEC chambers via J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13 and J4/J14. The AEC board will be factory configured to directly
output the active low signal from the generator control board to the AEC chamber if required, or to output
+12 V or +24 V if the chamber requires active high signals. For AEC chambers that require active high
outputs, the start, right, middle or left field select signal is taken from the collector of Q1 to Q4,
respectively. The active low signals from the generator control board turn on Q1 to Q4, outputting either
+12 V or +24V (depending on factory configuration) at the collector when active.
Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J11 to J14. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3 and JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the left field select signal to pin 6 and the right field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the left field select signal to pin 2 and the right field select
signal to pin 6.
The AEC board also contains a DC-to-DC converter that produces +45 V, + or - 300 V and +500 VDC.
The converter circuit consists of U7, T1, output voltage adjustment potentiometer R79 and associated
components. The +45 V output is hard wired to all of the AEC chamber connectors and + or - 300 V is
permanently connected to J1 to J4. Additionally, the AEC board will be factory configured to supply either
+ or - 300 V or +500 V to J11 to J13 and to pin 1 on J1 to J4 (in addition to the + or - 300 V fixed output at
pin 2).

The output of each preamplifier is connected to an analog switch that is used for field selection. Selecting
the desired field closes the corresponding analog switch, connecting the output of that preamplifier to the
summing node at the junction of R69, R9, R22 for channel 1, R40, R47, R55 for channel 2, R70, R11, R23
for channel 3 and R41, R49, R56 for channel 4.
JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields. Jumpering pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers (JW1, JW2 for
channel 1, JW3, JW4 for channel 2, JW5, JW6 for channel 3 and JW7, JW8 for channel 4) selects the
normal left-right orientation and jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector jumpers reverses the left-right field
selection
Selecting an active AEC channel closes U4D for channel 1, U14D for channel 2, U5D for channel 3 and
U15D for channel 4. The output from the selected AEC channel will then be passed on to the signal
processing circuits as shown on the next sheet of MD-0985.
The output of U12A feeds the inverting input of U11B. A sample and hold circuit is connected to the non-
inverting input on U11B. This circuit samples any electrical noise at the output of U12A during standby
operation and subtracts this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U11B is proportional to the AEC chamber output only and is not influenced by noise.
The output of U11B is connected to the input of U11A via the gain adjustment pots R1 to R4 and the
analog switches for channels 1 to 4.
U11A is an integrating amplifier where C31 starts to integrate the AEC voltage when the AEC exposure
starts. This is accomplished by opening the analog switches that are in series with R35, R38, R42 and
R59 at the start of the exposure. This produces a ramp whose slope is proportional to the input voltage at
U11A.
The AEC ramp is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as described earlier in this
section and is also fed to comparator U10 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC reference
voltage. The output of U10 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp equals
the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.

The chamber-select signals exit from the generator control board as shown on sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U6 and are then connected to the control inputs on analog
switches U4D, U14D, U5D and U15D (sheet 3) for AEC channel selection and to the analog switches in
series with R1 to R4 to select the required gain pot.
The field select signals from the generator control board are also active low. These signals are inverted by
U6, and then connected to the analog switches in the feedback loop of U12A and to the analog switches
that select the fields on the previous sheet.
The start signal from the generator control board is inverted by U6 on the AEC board, and then inverted
again by Q2. The output of Q2 is connected to the analog switches in the feedback loop of U11A. The
extra inversion provided by Q2 is required to open those analog switches during an exposure.
The chamber-select signals exit from the generator control board as shown on sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U6 and connected to the control inputs of the analog switches
described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the selected AEC channel will
be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to the input of U7A.
The start signal also exits from the generator control board. This is inverted by U6 and then inverted again
by Q4 and Q5. The output of Q5, when active, opens the analog switch that is part of the sample and hold
circuit at the input of U8A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other times. The
sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U7A during standby operation and
subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the output of U8A is
proportional to the AEC chamber output voltage only, and is not influenced by noise.
The output of U8A connects to the common inputs of the analog switches that are in series with gain pots
R11 to R14. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch
corresponding to the active channel will be closed. This connects the output of U8A to the AEC gain
adjustment potentiometer R11 to R14 corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be
a ramp, is now fed to the input of U8B. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U8B is opened during an
exposure, allowing the AEC ramp to appear at the outputs of U4A and U4B.
The AEC ramp from U4B is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as described
earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U9 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC
reference voltage. The output of U9 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp
equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.
The START signal from Q4, and the LEFT, MIDDLE and RIGHT field select signals from Q1, Q2 and Q3
respectively are brought to the AEC chambers via J1 to J4.
Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J1 to J4. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3 and JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the left field select signal to pin 6 and the right field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the left field select signal to pin 2 and the right field select
signal to pin 6.

The DC to DC converter circuit produces +45, +300 and +500 VDC for use with ion chambers, and up to -
1000 VDC for photo multiplier tubes. The output of the converter circuit is set by potentiometers R10, R19
and R24. These pots are switched into the circuit when required, as described next.
The chamber-select signals from the generator control board are active when low. If AEC is deselected,
as will be the case during fluoroscopic operation, all four chamber-select lines will be high. The input of
U1E will then be pulled high via R23, taking the output of U1E low and the output of U1F high. This will
close analog switch U2A on the AEC interface board, switching R10 into the circuit during non-AEC
operation. This potentiometer is adjusted to set the PMT high voltage during fluoro ABS operation. When
AEC channel 4 is selected, the chamber 4 select line will be low and the output of U1D will be high. This
will close analog switch U2D on the AEC interface board, switching R19 into the circuit. AEC channel 4 is
typically used for digital applications, and R19 allows the PMT high voltage to be optimized for AEC with
digital operation.
If AEC channels 1, 2 or 3 are selected, the output of U1A, U1B or U1C will be high. This will close analog
switch U2C on the AEC interface board, switching R24 into the circuit. R24 may be used to set the PMT
high voltage if a PMT is used on AEC channel 1, 2 or 3, or R24 may be used to set the output of the +45 /
+300 / +500 VDC supplies for AEC channel 1, 2 or 3 if using an ion chamber that does not have a built-in
high voltage bias supply.
The start signal from the generator control board is active when low. This signal is inverted by Q4 and
made available without inversion via D24, D28, D32 and D33. R29 is installed on boards that require +24
V for the start and left, middle and right field-select signals, and R90 is fitted on boards that require +12 V
for the start and left, middle and right field-select signals. Jumpers JW29, JW31, JW33 and JW35 select
+12 or +24 V start signals for AEC channels 1 to 4 respectively, and JW30, JW32, JW34 and JW36 select
active low (0 V) start signals for AEC channels 1 to 4 respectively.

The left field-select signal from Q2 (high = active) closes U19C, U17B, U16D and U16A. Likewise, the
middle field-select signal from Q1 closes U19B, U17A, U16C and U17D, and the right field-select signal
from Q3 closes U19A, U19D, U16B and U17C. These analog switches route the AEC chamber outputs to
the preamplifiers as described next.
Jumpers JW73, JW72 and JW71 route the signal from the left, middle and right cathodes of solid-state
AEC chamber 1 to the inverting input of U6A via the analog switches described in the previous paragraph.
In the same way, JW68, JW67 and JW74 route the signal from the cathodes of AEC chamber 2 to U6B,
JW63, JW70 and JW69 route the signal from the cathodes of AEC chamber 3 to U14A, and JW66, JW65,
and JW64 route the signal from the cathodes of AEC chamber 4 to U14B.
The output of U7B is fed to the input of U5B and to the input of the sample and hold circuit consisting of
U4A, C9 and U7A. When using solid-state or ionization type AEC chambers, this circuit samples any
electrical noise at the input of U5B during standby operation, and subtracts this noise from the AEC signal
during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the output of U5B is proportional to the AEC chamber output
only, and is not influenced by noise. C9 must be shorted if a photo diode or PMT is used for AEC on
channel 1.
The output of U5B is connected to gain pot R1 and the input of U5A. The gain of U5A depends on the
setting of R1. JW2 must be installed to configure U5A as an integrating amplifier for AEC devices with a
DC output, and JW3 must be installed for AEC chambers that output an integrated signal (a DC ramp).
Analog switch U4C is connected to the start signal. This switch opens when an AEC exposure starts,
allowing U5A to start integrating or amplifying the AEC signal.
The output of U5A is applied to U3B, which only closes if channel 1 is selected. With channel 1 selected,
the output of U5A is connected to the AEC short-time adjustment circuit consisting of R91, R120, R121
and C39. This circuit is disabled when the wiper of R91 is at the ground end of the potentiometer, and
maximum short-time compensation is provided when the wiper is set to the end of the potentiometer
connected to U3B.
The AEC ramp is buffered by U18A and U18B, resulting in a positive ramp at the output of U18B. This
ramp is taken to the generator control board via R53, where it is processed as described earlier in this
section. The ramp is also fed to comparator U2 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC
reference voltage. The output of U2 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp
equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board. The
circuit description for AEC channels 2 to 4 is similar to that for channel 1. When configuring AEC channels
2 to 4, the corresponding jumpers must be used.

The chamber-select signals exit from the generator control board as shown on sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 and DS2 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U6. The signals CH 1 and CH 2 are connected to the control inputs
of the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the
selected AEC channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to the
input of U7A.
The channel 3 and channel 4 select lines from U6 are inverted by Q6 and Q7. The outputs of Q6 and Q7
are re-designated as the PORTRAIT and INVERTED signals, respectively. These signals select four
different combinations of the L-M-R fields from the five available fields on the AEC chamber.
The start signal also exits from the generator control board. This is inverted by U6, and then inverted
again by Q4 and Q5. The output of Q5, when active, opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U8A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U7A during standby
operation, and subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U8A is proportional to the AEC chamber output voltage only, and is not influenced by noise.
The output of U8A connects to the common inputs of the analog switches that are in series with gain pots
R11 and R12. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch
corresponding to the active channel will be closed. This connects the output of U8A to the AEC gain
adjustment potentiometer R11 or R12 corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be
a ramp, is now fed to the input of U8B. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U8B is opened during an
exposure, allowing the AEC ramp to appear at the input of U4A via a phase-lead network that provides
short time compensation.
The AEC ramp from U4A is again inverted by U4B and taken to the generator control board where it is
processed as described earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U9 on the AEC board where it is
compared to the AEC reference voltage. The output of U9 is normally high, switching low when the
magnitude of the AEC ramp equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the
generator control board.

For systems using composite video, the input is typically via J6 on the generator control board. The
composite video signal is amplified by U101A. For systems using proportional DC from various sources,
the signal is typically fed to J1 on the generator control board. The jumpers (JW8) on the generator control
board select the input source, input polarity, gain, etc. Refer to chapter 3E for the required positions for
these jumpers.
The signal from J1 or from the output of U101A is routed to gain stages U1A and U1B for further
processing. A digital gain pot U5 sets the ABS signal level at the output of U101B. The ABS signal at the
output of U101B is fed to the sample and hold circuit, which samples the ABS value during exposure in
pulsed fluoro operation and holds that value for the A/D converter. A/D converter U62 converts the analog
output from the sample and hold circuit to a digital signal that is sent to the CPU board. The ABS feedback
signal is used by the generator to maintain constant image brightness by regulating the fluoro kV and / or
the fluoro mA.
For inputs to J1 or J6 on the generator control board, U12C will be held closed under control of the main
CPU.
If a digital imaging system is used that supplies the ABS control signal, this signal will typically be routed
from the digital imaging system to the digital I/O board and then to the ABS circuits on the generator
control board (the DIG I/O BRD ABS signal on MD-0986). For this ABS control signal, analog switch
U12A will be held closed under control of the main CPU. This will feed the DIG I/O BRD ABS signal to the
input of U1B for processing as described above. Alternately, the ABS signal may be passed from the room
I/O board to the generator CPU board (the RM I/O BRD ABS signal on MD-0986). This signal is selected
when analog switch U12B is closed under control of the main CPU.
U101B has two integrating and two linear feedback paths that are switched into the feedback circuit by
U102A to U102D. These switches are controlled by U49 and U28 under control of the CPU.
The ABS signal at J1-1 on the generator control board is split by R269 and fed to J1-2 in order to make
this signal available for AEC control. An example is using a PMT for ABS control and also for AEC control
on AEC channel 4. Refer to chapter 3D, the section AEC USING A PMT for further details.

Some digital imaging systems generate an ABS control signal (DIG I/O BRD ABS) that is fed to the ABS

When jumper JW6 is set to position 1 & 2, a digital sync input can be connected to J15-9 (MD-0984) on

Digital I/O board assembly 735921 is used with some imaging systems that have integrated generator

The emitter of U14 is taken low when the generator is ready to make an exposure, and the imaging
system will request an exposure by taking the anode of U14 high. This results in the collector of U14 being
pulled low when the generator is ready and the imaging system requests an exposure, turning on U16.
The output of U16 is the EXPOSURE ENABLE request, described on sheet 1. The output of U15, which

The differential output from the DAP chamber(s) is routed to U23 for DAP chamber 1 via L11, R346 and
R347 and to the input of U22 for DAP chamber 2 via L12, R72 and R339. The outputs of the opto-
couplers are directly connected to the inputs of buffer / gates U111 and U112.
The output of U111 is enabled by U26 under control of the main CPU. The output enable command that
drives U111 is inverted by U24 in order to enable the output of U112 when U111 is disabled. The DAP
pulses at the outputs of U111 and U112 are passed to the main CPU, where they are processed in order
to provide the display of Dose-Area Product.
DS 18 will light to indicate that DAP channel 1 is active and DS19 will light to indicate that DAP channel 2
is active.
When the generator is switched on and the start-up diagnostics are completed, the console CPU will
attempt to communicate with the generator CPU. The console will send data to the generator and then
wait for a response from the generator. If the console receives a response, communication may continue.
If the console CPU does not receive a response from the generator CPU, a communication error message
will be displayed.
DS41 on the console board will flash when the console is sending data to the generator. DS42 will flash to
indicate that the generator is sending data to the console. The console communicates with the generator
via data buffers U8 / U16 and RS-232 driver U1. U5 on the console board is an RS-232 driver for the
serial port, J2. DS44 and DS43 will flash to indicate that data is being sent to and received from the
console’s serial port.

7.2.14 Serial communications (Cont)
The remainder of sheet 1 shows the routing of the communication signals on the R&F membrane console
and touchscreen console through the console connector board.
The generator control board includes RS-232 and RS-422 drivers, jumpers JW11, JW12, JW13, JW14,
JW15 and buffers U39A and U39B that isolate the +5 V logic on the generator control board from the +3.3
V logic on the CPU board. The jumpers must be in the RS-232 position for communicating with the R&F
membrane console and the touchscreen consoles. The RS-422 position is used for special applications
that require the RS-422 protocol.
LED DS14 indicates that serial data is being sent from the generator to the console and DS15 indicates
that data is being sent from the console to the generator.

To tell the generator CPU that the CAN bus equipped boards are ready, the microcontroller on each board
pulls the line connected to an opto-coupler low, turning it on. These are opto-couplers U60, U30 and U28
for the room I/O, the dual speed starter and the auxiliary CPU boards respectively. Once these opto-
couplers are on, U108 on the generator CPU board will turn on, via R327 & R328, consequently pulling
U94A output low. This tells the generator CPU that the CAN bus equipped boards are properly connected
and ready to communicate to the generator CPU via the CAN bus lines.
Communications can start if all the boards connected within the loop are working properly. If the
microcontroller on the boards needs to communicate with the generator CPU, it uses the CAN-SPI
controller and the transceivers on the board. The transceivers are connected to pin 4 (CAN-High) and pin
5 (CAN-Low) for the room I/O and the dual speed starter boards, and on pin 25 and 26 respectively on the
auxiliary CPU board.
LED’s on the boards indicate the state of CAN bus lines, labeled CAN TX (transmit) and CAN RX
(receive). If these LED’s are blinking, it is an indication that the CAN bus lines are actively transmitting
and receiving data.
The connections to the input distribution board are pass through only via J12 and J16, connecting J4 of
the auxiliary CPU board to the CAN bus.
The CAN bus communications protocol will also be used in the future for optional boards such as AEC
boards, etc.
When ADR Module of Tube 1 is active, the CPU board issues a discharge command via J11-28 at the
end of each fluoroscopic pulse. This discharge signal via J31-28 on the generator control board drives Q2
which then drives the trigger circuits via J3-4 in the ADR Module of Tube 1. This turns on the high voltage
switch circuits and very quickly discharges the cathode capacitance as noted above.
When ADR Module of Tube 2 is active, the CPU board issues a discharge command via J11-27 at the
end of each fluoroscopic pulse. This discharge signal via J31-27 on the generator control board drives Q2
which then drives the trigger circuits via J9-4 in the ADR Module of Tube 2. This turns on the high voltage
switch circuits and very quickly discharges the cathode capacitance.
The high voltage switch circuits revert to their “off” state automatically when the discharge current drops
below a very low value, i.e. once the HV module’s cathode capacitance is almost fully discharged.
DS1 on the ADR module lid board is connected in series with the trigger circuits in the ADR module. This
LED will flash at the current PPS rate when the ADR function is active.

7.2.16 ADR, Fluoro Select, & Power Mode Select (Cont)
Feedback and logic circuits in the ADR module sense the discharge current and the timing of the
discharge current relative to the trigger pulses. These circuits will detect a fault where the ADR module is
not discharging, as well as a fault where the ADR module is always discharging. This feedback signal is
sent to the generator control board via J3-8 on the ADR module lid board, where it drives the input of opto-
coupler U99 on the generator control board. The CPU detects an ADR fault by monitoring the output of
U99 via U31 and U49 on the generator control board. An appropriate error message will be displayed if a
fault is detected by the feedback and logic circuits in the ADR module, and the generator will then be
placed in the not-ready state.
DS2 on the ADR module lid board will flash at the PPS rate if the ADR module is not discharging when it
should be, and DS2 will be lit continuously if the ADR module is always discharging.
DS3 on the ADR module lid board is connected to +24 VDC inside the ADR module via a series resistor.
This LED will light when the ADR module is connected to the generator and the +24 VDC, supplied by the
generator interface board, is present.
Pin J7-9 on the generator control board is an interlock. This input is grounded via J3-9 on the ADR module
when the ADR module is connected. The interlock status is fed back to the generator CPU via opto-
coupler U100, U31 and U49 on the generator control board. Failure of the ground at this input will result in
an error message.
Inverter #3 on 80 and 100 kW generators is disabled during low power operation (fluoroscopy or low
power Rad exposures). This is accomplished as described below.
During low power operation, the CPU board will pull the base of Q3 low, turning K2 off, on the generator
control board. With K2 on the generator control board off, the gate drive to inverter #3 is disabled.
Contactor K2 on the resonant assembly enables the inverter #3 output. It's coil is connected to the driver
circuit on the generator control board. It is closed under the command of the CPU board via U49, U29
and Q44 that generate a PULL signal to activate the driver circuit for approximately 100 milliseconds, after
which it is held in place by the HOLD line during high power mode operation. DS24 on the generator
control board turns on to indicate that inverter #3 is enabled.
If the generator is not on the high power mode, the HOLD line will be deactivated, which in turn de-
energizes K2 on the resonant assembly. This disconnects the output of inverter #3 from the input of the
HV module as described under MD-0980.

NOTE 1: A narrow pulse will be present at TP42 if a over-voltage condition has been detected.
This pulse may be very difficult to detect as the high voltage will be shut down when the over-voltage R460
condition is detected, thus removing the fault condition.

NOTE
REMARKS
REFERENCE
1 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 3.3 VDC) = NO PTSTOP (PHOTOTIMER STOP) SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM AEC BOARD. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = PTSTOP SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM AEC BOARD.
2 AEC RAMP. THIS IS A SIGNAL RAMPING FROM 0 TOWARD +10 VDC. THE ACTUAL MAGNITUDE WILL DEPEND ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE.
3 AEC REFERENCE VOLTAGE, 0 TO +10 VDC, DEPENDING ON AEC TECHNIQUE. THE LENGTH OF THE AEC EXPOSURE WILL BE PROPORTIONAL TO THE AEC REFERENCE VOLTAGE.
4 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = AEC CHANNEL DESELECTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = AEC CHANNEL SELECTED.
5 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = L, M, R, FIELD DESELECTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = L, M, R, FIELD SELECTED.
6 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = NO AEC STOP REQUEST (INSUFFICIENT RAMP TO TERMINATE AEC EXPOSURE), “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = AEC STOP REQUESTED (AEC EXPOSURE TERMINATED).
7 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = AEC START NOT REQUESTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = AEC START REQUESTED.
8 THE VOLTAGE AND MAGNITUDE OF THE RAMP AT THIS POINT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AS THE PT RAMP OUTPUT, NOTE REFERENCE 2 .
9 THIS WILL BE A NEGATIVE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP, DEPENDING ON AEC CHAMBER OUTPUT. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP IS DEPENDENT ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE IN USE.
10 THIS WILL BE A POSITIVE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP, DEPENDING ON AEC CHAMBER OUTPUT. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP IS DEPENDENT ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE IN USE.
11 R79 ADJUSTS THE +45V, +300V, AND +500V OUTPUTS FROM THE DC TO DC CONVERTER CIRCUIT. REFER TO CHAPTER 3D FOR DETAILS.
12 THE VOLTAGE AT TP22 SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1 (BELOW). THE MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 45%, DEPENDING ON THE LOAD ON THE HV SUPPLIES.
13 THE VOLTAGE AT THIS TEST POINT IS THE OUTPUT OF THE AEC CHAMBER. REFER TO THE AEC CHAMBER MANUFACTURERS DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS.
14 THIS WILL BE A POSITIVE DC VOLTAGE. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DC VOLTAGE IS DEPENDENT ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE IN USE.
15 THIS IS THE START SIGNAL. “HIGH” (5 VDC) = START = ANALOG SWITCHES CLOSED, “LOW” (0 VDC) = START = ANALOG SWITCHES OPEN.
16 THIS WILL BE A VOLTAGE BETWEEN 0 AND 5.1 V, DEPENDING ON THE SETTING OF THE ACTIVE POTENTIOMETER R10, R19, OR R24..
