Unpacking Instructions
3. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Optimum care is taken while packing the machine so that the machine must reach to the final
destination without any scratches and must be free from any transportation damages. The
machine is first packed in Polythene sheet & then further packing is done either using
foam/thermocole sheet. The outer carton could be of cardboard box or wooden ply packing.
The wooden boxes are packed with the nails and metallic strips wound with the nuts and
bolts.
The Service Engineer should study the following safety points before installing the machine
at the customer’s place:
! Utmost care should be taken while unpacking the boxes.
• Always make sure that while unpacking the boxes the items contained in them do not
get damaged.
• While removing the screws, bolts or nuts from the boxes, make sure that the
instrument used for removing the screws, bolts or nuts do not penetrate in the box and
subsequently damage the contents of the box.
• Extra Care should be taken while opening the heavier items as any sort of
carelessness can cause injury to the person handling the item.
Follow the procedure below to open the packing:
(i) Remove the metallic strips by opening the nuts and bolts with the spanners.
(ii) Remove the wooden packing from the sides by removing the nails. Care must be
taken so that the contents of the box are not hit accidentally.
(iii) Remove the thermocole packed material from the cardboard boxes after removing
the packing tapes used to close the boxes (wherever applicable) and then remove
thermocole packing sheet and polythene sheet by removing packing tape.
The unpacked parts must not be kept on the floor and can be kept on the packing sheets
removed earlier to avoid any scratches on the parts and to keep them clean. Do not touch the
parts with dirty hands or rub them with a piece of cloth to avoid any dirt marks on the parts.

1. Location of X-Ray Installation:
The rooms housing diagnostic X-Ray units and related equipment should be located
as far away as feasible from areas of high occupancy and general traffic, such as
maternity and paediatric wards and other departments of the hospital that are not
directly related to radiation and its use.
2. Layout:
The layout of rooms in X-ray department should aim at providing integrated facilities
so that handling of X-ray equipment and related operations can be conveniently
performed with adequate protection. The number of doors for entry to the X-ray room
should be kept to the minimum. The doors and passages leading to the X-ray
installation should permit safe and easy transport of equipment and non-ambulatory
patients. The dark room should be so located that the primary X-ray beam cannot be
directed on it.
3. Room Size:
The room housing X-ray equipment must be spacious enough to permit installation,
use and servicing of equipment with safety and convenience for he operating
personnel, the servicing personnel and the patient. The room size must not be less
than the 25 sq. m. for a general purpose X-ray machine.
4. Shielding:
Appropriate structural shielding shall be provided for the walls, the ceiling and the
floor of the X-ray room so that doses received by workers occupationally exposed to
the radiation and the members of the public are kept to a minimum and shall not
exceed the annual effective dose equivalent limits of 50 mSv and 1 mSv respectively.
The doors of an X-ray room shall provide the same shielding as that of the adjacent
walls incase persons are likely to be present in front of them when the X-ray unit is
energized. Appropriate shielding must be provided for the dark room to ensure that
undeveloped X-ray films stored in it will not be exposed to more than an air kerma
rate of 10 uGy per week (approximately 1.13 mR per week).
5. Openings and Ventilation:
Unshielded openings, if provided in an X-ray room for ventilation or natural light etc.
must be located above a height of 2.5 meters from the ground/floor level outside the
X-ray room.

Circuit Diagram & Circuit Explanation
6. CIRCUIT EXPLANATION
1. Switch ‘ON’ the Machine. The moment machine is switched On, Relay RE1
(ON/OFF relay) gets energized and closes its NO contacts.
2. Then relay RE1 becomes on as one contact of RE1-ON-OFF is connected in series
with RE1-Coil.
3. When RE1 become on it closes all its no contacts & supply to machine become
available.
4. When Machine becomes ON, Radio mode is selected by default.
Radiography Mode
5. If all parameters selected on control are within limits, Relay RE12 (O/L Relay),
which is in overload card gets energized and closes its NO contact (RE12B) in series
with Ready relay RE2 and opens its NC contact (RE12A) in line of O/L Indicator.
6. Small or Large filament of tube starts glowing depending upon mA station selected
from Technic selector. Also P2 of H.T transformer gets neutral supply.
7. On pressing the Ready switch, relay READY become ON in motherboard coil, which
further energies the Relay RE2 and Relay RE8 gets energized.
8. NO contact (RE2A) in line of filament gets closed and filament now gets boosted
voltage.
9. NO contact (RE2E) connected in series with Bucky supply gets closed.
10. NO contact (RE2H) connected in rotor circuit gets closed to supply neutral to current
transformers to complete the path of rotor and stator of Tube so that rotor starts
moving at 230 V.
11. NC contact (RE2I) connected to KVP card gets opened.
12. Due to flow of current in Current transformer’s (connected across rotor winding)
primary winding, voltage is induced in secondary and relay RE3 gets energized.
13. NO contact (RE3A) gets closed and gives supply of 24 V to timer card. Also the
RE3A close contact become open.

AX 525 SM
14. Due to flow of current in another current transformer’s (connected across stator
winding) primary winding, voltage is induced in secondary and relay RE3A also gets
energized.
15. NO contact (RE3AA) connected in series with relay RE6 (exposure start relay) gets
closed.
16. Due to supply of 24 V in timer circuit, capacitor of 470 µF in timer circuit starts
charging. After time delay of 0.8 or 1.5 seconds depending upon tube, capacitor gets
fully charged and supply is now available to Time Delay Relay RE4 in timer card so
that RE4 gets energized.
17. NC contact (RE4A) connected to 230 V for supplying this voltage to rotor gets
opened and NO contact (RE4A) connected to 70 V gets closed to supply 70 V to
rotor.
18. NC contact (RE4B) connected in series with 1K resistance across current transformer
gets opened so as to compensate the voltage drop across relay RE3 due to voltage cut
off from 230 V to 70 V.
19. Due to voltage drop across resistance of 6.2 ohms connected in series with 70 V
supply to rotor circuit, supply goes to input of bridge rectifier and relay RE5
connected across bridge rectifier’s output gets energized.
20. NO contact (RE5A) connected in line of relay RE6 (exposure start relay) gets closed.
21. As relay RE8 is energized (along with relay RE2), NO contacts (RE8A, RE8B &
RE8C) also gets closed.
22. On pressing X-Ray switch, exposure start relay RE6 gets energized.
23. NO contact (RE6B) connected overload relay RE12 in overload circuit gets closed.
This contact is used to bypass the overload Circuit during exposure time.
24. NO contact (RE 6C) connected in series with timer chain in timer circuit gets closed
and starts charging capacitor of 33 µF. NC contact (RE6C) connected across capacitor
gets opened.
25. Relay RE7 (Radio timer relay) gets supply from timer card and gets energized.
26. NO contact RE7A connected in series with SCR Relay RE20 gets closed.

AX 525 SM
27. Relay RE20 gets energized and closes its contact RE20A in SCR firing circuit to
trigger the SCR. Supply goes to P1 of H.T. Transformer and exposure starts.
28. After preset time selected from timer switch, 33µF capacitor gets fully charged and
supply to relay RE7 is disconnected. RE7 gets de—energized and NO contact
(RE7A) gets opened and de-energizes SCR Relay RE20.
29. Relay RE20 opens its contact in SCR firing circuit and exposure stops.
30. Relay RE15 (KVP Locking relay) is connected to KVP Locking card. KVP metering
transformer and KVP display transformer gives supply to KVP locking card, which in
turn energizes the relay RE15.
31. KVP locking card senses the P1P2 voltage and if KVP is more that 125 KVP it gives
supply to relay RE15 otherwise it keeps RE15 de-energized.
32. NC contact (RE15A) connected in series with RE8 contactor gets opened in case of
more KVP and thus exposure does not take place.

7.1 ENERGIZING THE EQUIPMENT
7.1.1 The equipment must be energized after ensuring that the input voltage is correct,
earthing is connected to the equipment, all connections are correctly made, polarity of
H.V. cables is confirmed at Tube Head & H.T. Tank, there are no loose connections
and rating of fuses is correct.
7.1.2 The equipment should be switched ‘ON’ and voltage must be set at 230 V on voltmeter
before initiating any other step.
7.1.3 Wait for 5 minutes before exposure is initiated to ensure proper warm up of the
equipment.
7.1.4 Check filament glow inside the Tube Head through its window. If small focus is
selected from Technic selector on control then small filament should glow and if large
filament is selected from Technic selector on control then large filament should glow.
7.1.5 Always start with low rated exposure at low kV, mA & time and then gradually
increase the factors.
7.2 CARRYING OUT PRELIMINARY TESTS
Once the machine is energized, check the following in equipment:

7.2.1 No abnormal sound / sparking in the equipment.
7.2.2 No burning / overheating smell from equipment.
7.2.3 No auto running of tube rotor.
7.2.4 No fuse should blow.
7.2.5 Fluoro / Radiographic exposure should not initiate automatically.

7.2.6 Check Rotor circuit capacitor values as under:
(i) BEL THX-1/DRA-1 Tube: 10 µF, 440 V

(ii) BEL THX-2/DRA-2 Tube: 10 µF, 440 V
(iii) Toshiba E-7239X Tube: 25 µF, 440 V
7.2.7 Check that all displays i.e. Fma, mAS, KVP etc. glow at all time intervals selected and
at all mA stations.
7.2.8 In case of double tube machines check that at Fluoro selection, the undercouch tube is
selected and at radio selection overcouch tube is selected. This can be verified by
looking at window in tube head for glow of filament.
7.2.9 Press “Ready” switch & observe that rotor of tube is moving.
7.3 CALIBRATING THE EQUIPMENT
7.3.1 Set the voltage on voltmeter at 230 V AC i.e. pointer at red band. Now check the
voltage with calibrated Digital Multimeter connected across the voltmeter. Voltage on
voltmeter should be within + 2 Volts. If voltage is out of these limits then set the
pointer reading on voltmeter within + 2 Volts of indicated reading on digital
Multimeter with the help of adjusting screw on top of voltmeter window.
7.3.2 Check the Radiography Timer Accuracy by disconnecting P1-P2 from the Tank.
Connect the Time Interval Meter / Counter Meter to the 1 No. Terminal of the TS-7.
For this purpose open connection from terminal 1 of TS-7. Connect one end of the
Counter Meter to the Open Terminal and one end to the Terminal End from where the
Connection has been removed. Press Ready switch and make an exposure. Check the
timer accuracy at 3-4 stations. If the time setting is not accurate to + 2 %, then adjust it
from the 10k pot in the Timer Card located near heat sink. To increase the time, turn

7.3.11 Check the effect of space charge. Make exposures at the following parameters:
100 mA, 40 KV & 100 mA, 70 KV
Observe the mA at both the exposures. In case there is a variation of more than 5% in
the mA readings at two KVP values then adjust it from the space Charge Resistance
by moving band provided for 100 mA station.
Similarly, make exposure at 40 KV & 70 KV for 200, 300, 400 & 500 mA station.
And adjust the mA setting from bands on space charge resistances provided for 200,
300, 400 & 500 mA stations. After adjusting space charge resistance again calibrate
mA as per step 7.3.8

AX 525 SM
7.3.12 Check the Rotor Current of tubes. Place the calibrated tong tester around individual
terminals i.e. 1, 2, 3. Press the Ready Switch. Now note the two readings i.e. one
initially and second after some time delay for each terminal. The values of the
currents should be within the limits as follows:

7.3.20 Check the filament voltage Boosting between A1 and XS & between A1 and XL by
placing calibrated digital multimeter between TS –12 terminals 2-3. Note down the
reading of the Voltage initially and then note the voltage of the Filament after
pressing Ready switch.

AX 525 SM
The Boosting of XS should be about 50 Volts

The Boosting of XL should be about 80 Volts.
7.3.21 Check the No Load Current of the H.T. Transformer. No Load Current of the H.T.
Transformer should be less than 1 Amp. For this purpose disconnect A1 from the
Tank. Keep the factors at 100mA and 50 KV. Expose and then take reading by
placing calibrated instantaneous tong tester around P1 or P2.
7.3.22 Check Vertical Bucky Supply (Incase it is provided) by placing calibrated digital
multimeter between TS12-8 and TS12-9 terminals (In case of X-Ray generator
having Radiography only) and between TS9-8 & TS19-7 terminals (In case of X-Ray
generator having Fluoroscopy or Spot Filming capabilities). Press Ready Switch
(Vertical Bucky selected IN the circuit by Horizontal/Vertical Bucky switch) and note
the voltage. This voltage should be within 230 ± 10 Volts.
7.3.23 Check the Fluoro mA. Select Fluoro mode from control panel. Place calibrated tong
tester around P1 or P2 wires. Make exposure at maximum Fluoro mA by turning
Fluoro mA knob fully in clockwise direction and 70 KVP. Fluoro mA should display
3 mA and tong tester should display 1 Ampere. If reading is found different then
adjust it from F band on small focus resistance i.e. the same resistance from which
100 mA band is adjusted. If mA value is to be increased, then move the band for
selected mA station in upwards direction. If mA value is to be decreased then move
the band for selected mA station in downwards direction. At 1 Ampere on tong tester,
display should show 3 mA. If display value is not 3 mA, then adjust it from Fluoro
mA display card.

7.4 PROCEDURE FOR CARRYING OUT QA TESTS AS PER BARC/AERB
The aim of quality assurance (QA) tests in diagnostic radiology is to ensure good quality
images with optimal doses. Images of poor quality will necessitate retakes and can result in
unnecessary doses to patients, personnel and public and overloading of the machine. The
parameters that affect the quality of the image include:
1. Applied tube potential (kV)

2. Quantity of radiation reaching the film, which depends on the current and time of
exposure (mAs)
3. Focal spot size
4. Beam alignment
5. Congruence of optical and radiation fields
6. Contact between film and screen
7. Processing conditions
The QA programme begins with the specification of performance of the equipment at the
manufacturing stage (performance standards tests) and then includes the tests after
installation in the hospital (acceptance tests) to ensure conformity with the specifications.
The QA tests are carried out thereafter at regular intervals, after repairs that might affect
performance and when equipment malfunction is suspected.
The rate of film rejection – in other words, the number of retakes – may indicate inefficient
operation and this should be periodically analyzed to ensure good QA. This could also help
to identify performance deterioration, which requires service attention.
The radiologists and the radiographers should be educated on the importance of the QA tests.
The importance of obtaining good quality images keeping the doses to levels as low as
reasonably achievable (ALARA) to patients, staff and public must be stressed.
Simultaneously, requirements in respect of filtration, collimator, leakage radiation, safe work
practices and proper installation planning must be fulfilled.
The Q.A Tests as specified in the local radiation safety standards may be carried out. Please
refer to your country’s directives with regard to this.

Dark Room Procedures & X-Ray Film Processing
10. DARK ROOM PROCEDURES & X-RAY FILM PROCESSING

Dark Room Procedure:
To obtain the best results from the X-Ray Machine, following procedure should be observed in
Dark Room: -
1. A qualified and trained Radiographer should only be allowed to operate the
X-Ray Equipment.
2. Dark Room should be totally dark and no light should enter in the room.
3. Loading and unloading of films in the cassette should be done only in Dark Room under
standard safe light.
4. Films should be stored in Dry and Dark place.
5. The Intensifying screens should be handled with care and wet finger marks of any chemicals
should not touch the screens.
6. The Developer and the Fixer solutions should always be covered and preferably new
solutions to be prepared after every 20 days.
7. The Temperature of Developer and Fixer to be maintained between 25 to 30 Degrees.
8. Solutions should be stirred with wooden stick each time films are dipped. Separate wooden
sticks, each for developer and fixer should be used.
X-Ray Film Processing:

1. Open the exposed cassette in the Dark Room.
2. Take out the exposed film and fix it in the hanger of suitable size.
3. Dip the film in the Developer. After about 15 seconds take out the film from the Developer to
visually observe the Developing status. Dip it again and take out to monitor the development
as frequently as possible.

Radiation Monitoring & Protection
11. RADIATION MONITORING & PROTECTION
11.1 Personnel Monitoring

Personnel monitoring is the evaluation of radiation doses received by the personnel
working with radiation.
The most commonly used personnel monitoring device is the film badge which consists
of a personnel monitoring film (PM Film) kept in cassette containing a set of filters. With
film badge, a wide range of doses from 10 mRem to 1000 Rem of different types of
radiation cab be evaluated. The film serves as a permanent record and if worn on chest,
gives the most representative value of whole body dose under normal working
conditions.
The radiation dose received by radiation worker can also be determined by the use of
Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badge. This consists of three CaSO4:Dy TLD discs
embedded in a metallic frame work and enclosed in a multi filter cassette. The TLD
badge can be used to monitor Beta, Gamma and X-Ray radiations. The TLD badge can
cover a wide range of doses from 10 mRem to 1000 Rem.
In addition to PM Film & TLD Badge, radiation dose to personnel can also be assessed
by pocket dosimeters. Pocket dosimeters are very useful in certain operations, where the
radiation levels vary considerable and may be quite hazardous. They give on the spot
check of radiation doses.
It is always advisable that personnel handling the X-Ray machine should use TLD
badges, PM Films or other devices like Pocket Dosimeters to monitor the absorbed dose
within the safe limits.
11.2 Radiation Protection Accessories

It is advisable to all personnel handling X-Ray machines to use following radiation
protection accessories:
Lead Goggles
Protective Barrier
Lead Apron
Lead Gloves
Thyroid Shield
Gonad Shield

Preventive Maintenance Procedure
12. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Preventive Maintenance of any equipment is very important to keep it in proper working

condition through out its life span. Timely and proper Preventive Maintenance not only
increases the life of the equipment, but it reduces the down time, hence savings on otherwise
expensive repairs. We must therefore try to be disciplined as far as the time schedule and the
procedure for carrying out the P.M. is concerned. The details given below would give
guidelines of P.M. procedure. P.M on all the equipments must be performed every 4 months
i.e.: thrice a year.
For optimum output of the equipment we should start writing the voltage drop during
exposure at Average working KVP Time and mA settings. This record at the time of
installation itself can be mentioned on the Machine History Card. The date and month of
Installation would help us actually know the extent of voltage drop as our experience
suggests that during the summer season; the voltage drop is on the higher side. During P.M
the Voltage drop can be checked with the reference value and is noted. Any increase in
Voltage Drop would thus be noticed and line checked for any loose connections etc. in the
mains switch/pole etc.
Inform customer in advance about your visit preferably through a letter/ telephone and agree
for a convenient time and date.

AX 525 SM
Preventive Maintenance Checkpoints
13. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKPOINTS
The following preventive maintenance procedure may be adopted for carrying out all P.M.
on the X-Ray Equipments.
A). GENERAL:
Whenever visiting for any Preventive Maintenance, please ensure to carry all the Tools,
Meters, Grease, Lubricants, Machine History Card and consumables like the dusters, polish
etc. Please make sure that your Multimeter is calibrated with a Standard Meter lying in your
Branch Office.
1. On reaching the Customer’s site enquire from Operator/Doctor for any specific
problems they are facing with the equipment.
2. Rectify first the problems as indicated by the customer and then proceed as under for
carrying out the Preventive Maintenance
B). PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE (ELECTRICAL)
1. Before attempting to carry out the P.M. switch ON the equipment and check the
working of the Machine electrically and mechanically. Observe for any flaws, which
should be rectified during the course of P.M.
2. Observe all the Electrical/Mechanical/Radiation precautions while performing the
P.M.
3. Switch OFF the Main Switch, open the cover and tighten any loose contacts/screws.
Also check the fuse wire Rating and it must comply with the Rating of the equipment
in operation.
4. Open the control panel cover. Keeping the Machine in “OFF” condition tighten all the
screws on the Terminal Blocks/Resistance Taps etc.
5. Check the rating of all the Glass Fuses and replace if necessary.
6. Open cover of X-Ray / Line Contactors and check that contacts are not worn out or
burnt. Check the operation of the X-Ray contactor. It should not be sticky.
7. Make the Machine “ON” and check the accuracy of the Voltmeter (On Red Band
your Multimeter should read 230 Volts).
8. On “NO LOAD” check the Accuracy of Timer with the cycle counter/ stopwatch.
9. Giving exposure at 65-70 KVP, check the mA output of Machine at different mA
Stations and calibrate the mA output if required. Calibration of the mA Meter should
also be verified with your Multimeter. Check P1-P2 current at this time. Observe for
any abnormal behaviour of the Machine i.e. sparking, sounds from the Tube Head,
H.T. Tank, Main Switch etc. Visually cheek the Voltage drop on your Voltmeter. It
should be within 10%. In case it is on the higher side, check if the wiring used in the
mains is of appropriate thickness. Advise the customer accordingly.
Also check the filament supply during the exposure. It should remain steady. If not,
adjust booster resistance settings.

AX 525 SM
10. In case of 300/500 mA Machines, check for Tube Rotor sound and space charge
settings (i.e. the mA output of any station remains same if the KVP is varied between
40 and 85). Adjust if required.
11. Check the working of the Line and X-Ray contactors and clean the core and the
contacts of the X-Ray contactor.
C). MECHANICAL
1. Check all the movements of Tube Head, Tube Stand and Tables. Check for
functioning of all locks and ensure that all movements are smooth and noiseless.
Specially check for Vertical Carriage Up/Down Movement. Rectify wherever
required. Remove old grease with cloth and apply fresh grease on all movement areas
(wherever applicable).
2. Open the Table Top and brush out all the dust settled on the Grid and on the Bucky
Motor Area. Clean, apply lubricant and check the Bucky play, it’s lock and tighten all
nuts/bolts/screws in the Table.
3. You must ensure that the alignment of the Center Ray of Light Beam diaphragm
matches with the Table center and Bucky center (Adjust if required).
4. In case of the Motorized Table check the working of following:
