Section 2: System Description

2.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The Empower Injector System consists of the following: Injector Remote Control Power Supply Cables and AC/Mains power cords Pendant Switch
The Injector is comprised of the Injector Head and the Injector Controller. Figure 2-2a shows the EmpowerCT Injector System and Figure 2-2b shows the EmpowerCTA Injector System. In both systems, when installed, the Injector and the Remote Control are connected to the Power Supply by a power/communications cable and a communications cable. The power/communications cable to the Injector provides power and communication signals. The communications cable to the Remote Control is for communications only. The Power Supply (see Figure 2-2d) and the Remote Control (see Figure 2-2c) have their own AC/Mains power cords that may be plugged into separate wall receptacles. The Injector and the Remote Control have their own power switches and both must be set to the ON position to have the entire system powered up and operational. The optional Extravasation Detection Accessory (EDA) is provided with the Extravasation Detection Clip and mounting accessories (see Figures 2-2a and 2-2b). The EDA is powered from the Injector. Figure 2-1a provides an illustration of the EmpowerCT Injector System configuration with the EDA. Figure 2-1b provides an illustration of the EmpowerCTA Injector System configuration with the EDA.

Section 4: Troubleshooting
4.1 ORGANIZATION
This section provides troubleshooting procedures for detecting and identifying malfunctions in the EmpowerCT and EmpowerCTA Injector Systems. For most situations, the procedures and terminology are the same for both systems. In those cases, the term Empower Injector System is used to imply the EmpowerCT and EmpowerCTA. Where applicable, differences are identified in the individual procedures, or, in some cases, addressed in separate procedures. Note: Some procedures for the EmpowerCTA Injector System may also apply to more recent EmpowerCT Injector Systems. The photographs provided in each procedure will help determine which procedure should be used. It may be necessary to open parts of a system for purposes of performing additional diagnostics or replacing faulty components, at which point the technician will be referred to Section 5 Repairing and Replacing for disassembly instructions. The troubleshooting procedures are divided into six categories (see Table 4-1) and are presented in the order of complexity beginning with the simpler and more obvious faults and moving on to more advanced diagnostics.
Table 4-1 Troubleshooting Procedures
Description of Problem General diagnosis before repairing system. Injector Head or Injector Controller does not rotate properly. The Injector, Remote Control, or both fail to power up.

PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSTIC
Infrequently the system is suspected of a malfunction when, in fact, it is fully operational. This can be the result of human error, failure of other equipment, and poor connections. Before attempting any lengthy diagnostics or repair actions, always follow the preliminary diagnostic steps presented below. 1. Ensure that the Power Supplys and Remote Controls AC/Mains power cords are plugged into electrical outlets and into their respective devices. 2. Check all cables for proper connections and possible damage. 3. Visually inspect all components for foreign substance or damage. 4. Test the outlets for proper voltages. 5. Check the Injector, Remote Control, and EDA software revision levels on the Remote Controls Service Screen. Consult with E-Z-EM Service Department for the latest applicable software revisions (see Section 6 Software Installation). 6. Make several attempts to recreate the problem including applying and removing power to the Injector and Remote Control several times (see Figures 4-1a and 4-1b). If the problem does not reoccur, return the system to operation. Note: Powering up or powering down the Injector System requires separately powering up or powering down the Injector Controller and the Remote Control. Each has a power rocker switch shown in Figure 4-1a and 4-1b. Power switch locations are identical for the EmpowerCT and EmpowerCTA Injectors.

MECHANICAL PROBLEMS
The Injector Controller and the Injector Head can be positioned by rotating them on the vertical axis and horizontal axis respectively. They can be easily rotated by hand but provide sufficient resistance so that they do not move when released. This section addresses problems with rotating the Injector Controller or Injector Head.
4.3.1
Injector Controller Pivot Malfunction
The Injector Controller pivots too loosely or has too much resistance making it difficult to turn. For earlier EmpowerCT systems (see Figure 4-2a), this requires repair of the Controller Pivot Assembly (see Section 5.2.1 Controller Pivot Assembly). For EmpowerCTA and later EmpowerCT systems (see Figure 4-2b), this requires replacement of the Injector (see Section 5.9.3 Replacing the Injector). To select the proper procedure for EmpowerCT systems, remove the Injector Controller cable cover (see Section 5.4.1 Replacing the Injector Controller Cable Cover) and match the rear view to Figures 4-2a or Figure 4-2b.

INJECTOR PIVOT JUNCTIONS
The Injector Controller and Injector Head can be manually adjusted by rotating them on their vertical axis and horizontal axis, respectively. The Controller Pivot Assembly in earlier CT systems incorporate an adjustable design (see Figure 5-1a)allowing field repair should the Injector Controller rotate too loosely or offer too much resistance. CTA and later CT systems incorporate a fixed design (see Figure 5-1b) requiring the Injector be returned for service. If the Injector Head rotates too loosely or offers too much resistance, the Injector Pivot lock nut must be adjusted.
5.2.1
Controller Pivot Assembly
CTA and later CT systems (see Figure 5-1b) use a friction pad to create the correct amount of drag when the Controller Assembly is rotated. If the Pivot is damage, the Injector must be removed and returned for service (see Section 5.9.3 Replacing the Injector). Earlier CT systems (see Figure 5-1a) incorporate an adjustable design permitting field repair or replacement of the Controller Pivot Assembly.
