INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the necessary instructions for proper operation, installation,
adjustments and calibration of the APX 525 & 625 High Frequency Generator.
All persons operating or servicing this equipment need to have read this manual
beforehand. You must have a thorough understanding of the APX 525 or 625 and its
proper use before you make any radiographic exposures.
Damage in Transportation
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is apparent,
have notation of "Bad Order" placed by the delivery driver on all copies of the freight
or express bill. If damage is of a concealed nature, notify the transportation agent as
soon as possible to make an "Inspection report of damage" but in any event not later
than 15 days after delivery. A transportation company usually will not pay a claim for
concealed damage if an inspection is not requested within this 15 day period. The
company's responsibility ceases when the transportation company accepts the
shipment in good order, and the company assumes no liability for loss or damage
after delivery to the carrier.

X-Ray Protection
X-ray equipment may cause injury if used improperly. The instructions contained in
this manual must be read and followed when operating the APX 525 or 625 High
Frequency Generator. Del Medical Imaging Corporation's authorized dealers will be
glad to assist in placing the APX 525 or 625 into operation.
The APX 525 and 625 provides a high degree of protection from unnecessary
radiation. However, no practical design can provide complete protection nor prevent
operators from exposing themselves or others to unnecessary radiation.
2005 Del Medical Imaging Corporation 12/11/2006 Page 1

Personal radiation monitoring and protective devices are available. Operators are
urged to use them to protect against unnecessary radiation exposure.
It is important that Operators and their supervisors be fully acquainted with
applicable government radiation protection regulations. Many provisions of these
regulations are based on recommendations of the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements. Recommendations for medical x-ray protection are
published in NCRP Report Number 102, and are available from:
NCRP Publications
7910 Woodmont Ave.
Suite 1016
Bethesda, MD 20814
Those responsible for the planning of x-ray and gamma-ray equipment installations
must be thoroughly familiar with and comply completely with NCRP Number 49,
"Structural Shielding Design and Evaluation for Medical Use of X-Rays and
Gamma-Rays of Energies up to 10 MEV", as revised or replaced in the future.
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health has discontinued the Radiological
Health Bulletin. However, this information can now be found on the Internet, through

OPERATING MANUAL
Introduction
The Universal APX is a high frequency, microprocessor based x-ray generator,

which is designed for general radiographic applications. The operators control
features a unique menu driven, soft button interface that makes it extremely easy to
use.
Caution: If your machine is setup for password protection, write

down what your password is and store it in a safe place. If you forget
your password, you will have to send the control console back to the
factory to get it reprogrammed. The installation technician will tell
you if your machine has password protection or not.
The APX can be operated in the following modes:
x 2 Point Mode: Operator controls kV and mAs of exposure. mA is

automatically calculated by software to produce highest allowable tube
current for shortest possible exposure, within limitations of the x-ray
tube.
2 Point Operators screen

x 3 Point Mode: Gives operator free selection of exposure techniques,

including kV, mA, and Time. Additionally, the calculated mAs of the
exposure will be displayed in the center portion of the LCD screen.
Software will inhibit selection of techniques that are beyond the
limitations of the x-ray tube.

x Default 2 point kV
x Default 2 point mAs
x Default 3 point kV
x Default 3 point mA
x Default 3 point Time
x Default focal spot
x Default image receptor (Wall, Table, or None)
x Default screen contrast
3. To exit this screen and save your changes, press <exit>. The generator will
now complete its power up sequence and default to your new settings.
Prep and Expose

To make an exposure:
1. Press and hold down the PREP button

When the green READY light turns on above the PREP button, continue
holding down the PREP button while you press the EXPOSE button.
When the exposure occurs, the red X-RAY light above the EXPOSE
button will be illuminated and an audible tone will sound for the duration of
the exposure.
Continue to hold down both buttons until the red x-ray light goes out and the
audible tone ends. Releasing either of the two buttons during an exposure
will cause the exposure to terminate and a BUTTON FAULT error
message to be displayed.
Using the Rotational Knob

The rotational knob used in conjunction with the kV, mAs, Time, and centimeter
thickness buttons. When one of those buttons is pressed, that parameter is
highlighted on the screen in reverse video. The values are changed with the
increment or decrement buttons.

Multi-function Buttons
Each multi-function button is defined on the central display screen. An undefined
button will have no effect when pressed. Pressing a defined button will either toggle
through a choice of options or allow a technique factor to be modified by the
increment or decrement buttons.
Specific details on each menu will be defined in the appropriate sections of this
manual.
X-RAY TUBE ANODE HEAT DISPLAY

The APX generator automatically calculates x-ray tube anode heat loading and
displays this value as a percentage of maximum kilo heat units (KHU), at the lower
middle portion of the LCD display while performing exposures.
Basic X-Ray Procedures
Caution: The following procedures will produce X-rays. Operating personnel should
take precautions to ensure their personal safety and the safety of others in close
proximity. Minimum precautions are as follows:
x Wear lead aprons

x Personnel remaining in the X-ray room during exposure should be
behind a lead shield
x Minimize radiation scatter through doorways, walls and floor
MANUAL MODE
The Manual operation mode lets you custom set the technique parameters for:
x kV (all modes)
x mAs (two point only)
x Time (three point only)
x mA (three point only)
x Focal spot (Large or Small)
x Image receptor (Table, Wall, or None)

To modify any of these factors, press the multi-function button closest to the name of
that factor. If the function is kV, mAs, or exposure TIME, you can then change the
displayed value with the rotational knob. For FOCAL SPOT or IMAGE RECEPTOR,
press the associated button to toggle through the available selections. You can
modify any factor by pressing its multi-function button and continuing as above. (For
exposure procedures see Prep and Expose.)
AEC MODE
The Universal Automatic Exposure Control, if installed, can be activated by pressing
the <AEC> mode button.
When you select AEC, the following parameters are not displayed:
x Pre-determined exposure time

x mAs
They are replaced by:
x Film / Screen Selection

x Ion Chamber Fields
x Film Density
x Back-up mAs (or Time)
x kV
Pre-programmed kV and Back-up mAs values will be displayed. The mAs value
must be set by the operator, using the rotational knob, and it should be about 2 to 3
times the expected mAs for the selected kV. Any technique parameter may be
individually changed in the same manner as described previously.
You can access the various chamber field combinations by toggling the
multi-function button adjacent to the field display on the screen.
Film Screen Select gives you a choice of two different film-screen combinations.
The film-screen speeds may vary by site and are calibrated to the technologist's
preference during the installation. The other film-screen is select by pressing the
associated multi-function button.
Density refers to the optical density on the finished radiograph. You can select
changes in density, ranging from minus 50% to plus 50%, by pressing the
associated multi- function button and turning the knob to select the desired density.
(For exposure procedures see Prep and Expose.) Once the exposure is complete,
the display will indicate the actual mAs and elapsed time of the exposure.

APR MODE
The operator may select pre-programmed exposure techniques for up to 96 different

patient studies, each of them optimized for the selected anatomic region and view.
These techniques are also optimized for the rated power capability and x-ray tube
installed in the generator.

Daily X-Ray Tube Seasoning Procedure

Follow the manufacturers tube warm up procedure to extend the useful life of the
x-ray tube. It is important to slowly warm the tube target before using it if the unit has
been idle for three hours or longer.
Fault Indications
If a fault occurs in your system you will get a fault condition message on your
screen. Three types of fault conditions can generate a message:
x X-ray generator
x Exposure button
x AEC related errors
To reset any fault condition, press the button adjacent to <RESET> on the screen.
However, some faults may require servicing of the equipment.
Generator Fault Messages:

A generator fault may be displayed as one of the following messages:
x mA-FAULT
x kV-FAULT
x COMMUNICATION FAULT
Repeated instances of the above error messages will require that you discontinue
use of the generator and notify service personnel. These messages indicate that the
equipment should be inspected and serviced by authorized personnel only.
Button Fault Errors:

An exposure button fault will occur if you release either the PREP or X-RAY buttons
during x-ray exposure (before the generator or AEC terminates the exposure).
Exposure button errors may be cleared by pressing the reset button. If this fault
continues to occur, please notify your service personnel.

AEC Error Messages:

If an AEC exposure terminates improperly, one of two faults will be displayed:
AEC Exposure Termination Faults

Exposure was terminated by the AEC mAs backup
circuitry, possibly a problem requiring service.
Check to make sure that the selected backup mAs
Backup mAs Termination has been properly set to a value two to three times
the expected exposure value. Repeated errors
should be reported to your service organization
and use of the AEC should be discontinued.
Exposure was terminated by the generator before
the AEC terminated the exposure. This indicates
either that the mAs selected on the generator
Generator Termination of control was less than the requirements for the
Exposure exposure or that the operator released the
exposure switch prematurely. Should either occur,
press the <RESET> button and make the
appropriate correction to permit another exposure.

specifically trained and experienced with medical x-ray apparatus. Applicable
preventive maintenance or any repair service should be performed only by these
skilled individuals.
USER SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleanliness is a fundamental rule in maintaining equipment. At least once a month,
external metallic surfaces should be wiped to remove dust build-up or any other
foreign material that may have accumulated. Enameled metal surfaces should be
cleaned using a clean cloth slightly moistened in clean water. Do not use cleaners or
solvents of any kind as they may dull the finish. Polish with PURE liquid or paste
wax. Do not use a wax containing a cleaning substance.
Note: This piece of X-Ray equipment contains operating safeguards to insure

maximum safety. Aside from routine maintenance, any abnormal noise, vibration or
unusual performance should be investigated by a qualified service engineer. Before
requesting service, however, be sure the equipment is being operated in accordance
with the foregoing instructions.
SAFETY INFORMATION
If a malfunction is suspected, turn the power off at the main line disconnect and have
a qualified service engineer inspect the equipment. Never open a component cover,
because potentially dangerous voltages are present.
Personnel engaged in maintenance activities should exercise normal caution and
care while working with electro-mechanical equipment. Before removing or opening
any electrical power panels or covers, verify that the incoming power supply is
turned OFF. In the event maintenance procedures require power to be supplied to
the unit, extreme care MUST be exercised to insure the safety of service and any
other personnel in the area. Always verify that the equipment is properly grounded
before attempting any electrical operation or adjustment.
Warning: The main SCR capacitor bank (located in the bottom of the Power
Module) contains a very high charge when power is applied. This charge is a fatal
shock hazard. After power has been disconnected from the system, with power off,
allow a minimum of five minutes for the capacitor bank to discharge. Check the
capacitor bank for zero volts with a DC voltmeter before working on any internal
circuitry.

Caution: Certain tests require the production of X-rays. Field personnel should take
precautions to ensure their personal safety and the safety of others in close
a. Wear lead aprons
b. Personnel remaining in the X-ray room during exposure should be behind a
lead shield
c. Minimize radiation scatter through doorways, walls and floor
X-RAY GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

The following list of items must be inspected during each preventive maintenance
inspection by qualified service personnel. Should other components become suspect
during the inspection, they also should be evaluated as necessary.
Item Explanation
Calibration Verify the accuracy of kilovoltage, milliamp seconds, and
milliamperes. Calibrate as necessary.
Relays Inspect electromechanical contactors and relays for pitting,
poor contact, loose or missing parts. Replace if necessary.
High Voltage a. Check transformer oil level. Proper oil level should be at
Transformer least (19mm) from the top of the circuit board but not
above the board. To replenish transformer oil, fill with
Diala-AX oil only.

Caution: The line matching transformer does not provide any

isolation between the incoming line and its outputs. All output
voltages will have the same relationship to earth ground as the
incoming mains voltages. Use appropriate caution when working
with any live mains voltages. Always ensure that the power has been
shut off at the mains disconnect switch before attempting to make
any connections to the line matching transformer or the generator
power module.

INSTALLATION
RACK MOUNTED APX 525/625 X-RAY GENERATOR
Warning: The main SCR capacitor bank (bottom of power module) contains a very
high charge when power is applied. This charge is a fatal shock hazard. After power
has been disconnected from the system, either by line disconnect or control console
power off, allow a minimum of five minutes for capacitor bank bleed down. Check
capacitor bank for zero volts with a dc voltmeter before working on any internal
circuitry.
Caution: Generator performance will be impaired if additional circuitry is powered by

the same incoming line. There are no accessory power provisions within the
generator. Attempts to attach accessory items such as collimator or table power
sources to this generator will damage circuitry.
Note: The UNIVERSAL APX 525/625 X-ray generator requires a dedicated input line.

GENERATOR START UP OPERATIONAL TESTS AND INSTALLATION SET-UP

This procedure will verify correct electrical operation and lead the service engineer
through the generator calibration. This procedure is not intended to limit the service
engineer's final assembly inspections. At the discretion of the engineer, additional
testing may be of value. Instructions and test criteria can be obtained by contacting
our technical support group. This procedure assures that mechanical and electrical
assemblies of the generator have been completed. Further, this procedure requires
that the default system configuration setup of the controller has already been
programmed.

Warning: Lethal voltages are present on the large filter capacitors in this unit.
Exercise extreme caution when working near the long copper bus bars attached to the
six large capacitors in the base of the power module. Always verify with a dc voltmeter
that the capacitors are discharged before attempting any service in this area.
Warning: The large commutating capacitors mounted to the left on the rear panel of
the power module will remain charged even when the power to the unit is turned off.
Caution: Failure to correctly program the default system configuration file may
damage components in the high voltage circuit and x-ray tube.

Programming the Default System Configuration Menu

It is necessary to configure portions of the APX 525/625 operational software. During
the installation process, the installer must identify any installed components:
x X-Ray Tube Selection

x Accessories
x Default power derating settings

The installer must program default system configuration in the following manner:
1. Depress and hold the second button from the lower left corner of the display
screen while turning the generator ON.
2. Enter the Dealer Password 0000, using the buttons above the display to
highlight the characters, and by adjusting their numeric values with the
rotational knob.
3. The default startup screen will appear as the generator is in its power up
sequence.
4. You may now select the default settings for the following parameters:
x Tomo Install (Yes or No)

Tomo Type
x Tube Select (Use Rotational Knob to Select. List of Tubes is on Next
Page)
x Misc Options
x Flash Options
x Change Password
x AEC Installed
x APR Updates (enabled or not enabled)
x Power Level
Power Derating
At this step, you must decide if the APX 525/625 Generator will operate at full
rated output. If the unit is to be installed on a less than ideal power line, it will
be necessary to derate the output power. Pressing the Power % Level button
will toggle through the available range of derating percentages.
Derating the generator will reduce the mA output during the exposure in the 2
point mode. The effect will be longer exposure times. kV will not be affected.
In the 3 point mode, derating will lower the allowable kilowatt product, which
will limit the operators available technique selections. When a satisfactory
power line is connected to the generator, the programmed power level can be
increased accordingly.

Note: If your desired tube is not on the tube list, contact Del Medical Imaging
Technical Support for assistance.

APX X-Ray Calibration Procedure

This procedure is to be followed upon initial installation of the APX 525/625.
high charge even after power is turned off. The charge is a fatal shock hazard. After
power has been disconnected from the system, either by turning the line disconnect or
the control console switch off, allow a minimum of five minutes for capacitor bank to
discharge. Check the voltage across the capacitor bank for zero volts with a DC
voltmeter before working inside the power module.
Caution: Generator performance may be impaired if additional circuitry is powered by

generator. Attaching accessory items such as the collimator or table to this generator
may damage circuitry and will void the warranty.
Test Equipment Required:
x Dual trace storage oscilloscope

x Digital Multimeter
x Dynalyzer
Warning: The following procedures will produce x-rays. Operating personnel should
a. Wear lead aprons.
b. Personnel remaining in the X-ray room during exposure should be behind a
lead shield.
c. Minimize radiation scatter through doorways, walls and floor.

Connect a Dynalyzer, equipped with a digital display unit, in-line with the anode
and cathode high voltage cables, between the high voltage transformer and the x -
ray tube.
If you do not have a digital display unit for the Dynalyzer, all measurements must
be made with a storage oscilloscope, connected to the Dynalyzer as specified in
the calibration instructions. However, the storage oscilloscope is always required for
several portions of the calibration procedure, including the measurement of kV
waveforms for wave shape, quality, and anode to cathode voltage balance, as well
as the calibration of tube current and filament preheat accuracy.
Instructions for performing field calibration of the APX 525/625 generator when no
Dynalyzer is available may be found later in this section, in Alternate Calibration
Procedure.
If you do not have a digital display, you can make mAs measurements by inserting a
mAs meter in series with the mA+ feedback signal wire.
Warning: Do not touch any part of the mAs meter during exposures because
dangerously high voltages can be present if there are improper connections.
mAs measurements can also be made by using the storage oscilloscope. Calculate
mAs as a product of tube current and time, as measured using the mA waveform.
Del Medical Imaging Corporation tests all systems for mAs, kV, and mA accuracy,
using a Dynalyzer equipped with a digital display.
Oscilloscope connections to the Dynalyzer for mA waveform measurements
should be made at the BNC terminal marked mA. The mode switch on the
Dynalyzer should be set to RAD. The output of the Dynalyzer is scaled to 1
millivolt per mA, or 100mV per 100 mA, with the oscilloscope set to the 1X setting for
the scope probe input.
During normal exposures, the generator may induce irregular patterns of low voltage
noise spikes, which may be picked up in the coax between the scope and the
Dynalyzer and displayed as a component on the mA waveform. This is due to the
high sensitivity of the oscilloscope input at such a low voltage scale, and does not
necessarily indicate a performance problem in the generator.

Initial Test Exposure
Warning: Lethal voltages are present on the large filter capacitors in this unit.
Exercise extreme caution when working near the long copper bus bars attached to the
large capacitors in the base of the power module. Always verify with a DC voltmeter
that the capacitors are discharged before even attempting any service in this area.
The three large commutating capacitors mounted to the left on the rear panel of the
power module will remain charged when the power to the unit is turned off.
Connect a Dynalyzer, equipped with a digital display unit, in-line with the anode
and cathode high voltage cables, between the high voltage transformer and the x -
ray tube.

5. Make an exposure to verify the functionality of the generator
The generator should cycle properly through the Prep stage, display the Ready light,
and make an exposure that terminates without displaying an error message.
mAs measurements can be made by inserting a mAs meter in series with the mA+
feedback signal wire. Use proper caution not to touch any part of the mAs meter

during exposures, as dangerously high voltage can be present when there are
improper connections.
mAs measurements may also be made using the storage oscilloscope and
calculating mAs as a product of tube current and time, as measured using the mA
waveform.
Del Medical Imaging Corporation tests all systems for mAs, kV, and mA accuracy,
using Dynalyzers equipped with digital displays.
Instructions for performing field calibration of the APX 525/625 generator, when no
Dynalyzer is available, may be found in this section Alternate Calibration
Procedure.
Oscilloscope connections to the Dynalyzer for mA waveform measurements
should be made at the BNC terminal marked mA. The mode switch on the
Dynalyzer should be set to RAD. The output of the Dynalyzer is scaled to 1
millivolt per mA, or 100mV per 100 mA, with the oscilloscope set to the 1X setting for
the scope probe input.
During normal exposures, the generator may induce irregular patterns of low voltage
noise spikes, which may be picked up in the coax between the scope and the
Dynalyzer and displayed as a component on the mA waveform. This is due to the
high sensitivity of the oscilloscope input at such a low voltage scale, and does not
necessarily indicate a performance problem in the generator.

The leading edge of the mA waveform for the large focal spot can be adjusted by
using pot R72 on the mA / Rotor Board. The mA at which the tube current should
stabilize following the initial portion of the exposure is adjusted with R63 on the
same board.
It may be necessary to make several exposures and perform several adjustments of
both pots, in order to obtain a flat, stabilized 300 mA (+/- 3 mA) waveform.

9. After the generators performance has been verified, you may turn the generator
OFF.
Alternate Calibration Procedure

Del Medical Imaging recommends using a Dynalyzer to calibrate the APX 525/625
x-ray generator. Calibrations done with a Dynalyzer will return the generator to
within the published specifications. Calibrations done with other forms of test
equipment may not bring the generator to within published specifications.
The following alternate calibration procedure can be used if no Dynalyzer is
immediately available to prove the electrical functionality of the machine.
Incorrectly connected mAs meters or mAs meters with hidden defects may cause
damage to the x-ray tube filaments.
1. With power off, attach the scope probe to TP14 (MA+) on the mother board
2. Attach the scope ground clip TP13 (-mA) on the mother board
3. Set the scope for a time base of 10 mSec. per division, a vertical deflection of 1
or 2 volts per division
4. Place the mA/Rotor board on the extender card
5. Turn the controller on
6. Set the generator to:
Mode 3 point
kV 60
mA 250
Focus Large
Time 200 mSec

Warning: Observe proper radiation protection procedures because the following steps
will produce x-ray emissions.
7. Select 250 mA and make an exposure. Observe the mA wave form on the
oscilloscope. The waveform should achieve stabilization at +5 VDC.
8. You may also use the information in the table below to predict the amplitude of
the waveform for other mA values:
Note: Exposure time can be adjusted to allow the predicted mA to match up with the
chart.

* Available on 40 and 50 kW generators only
9. Make an exposure and observe the waveform. If necessary, adjust R63 on the
mA/Rotor Board, so that the waveform stabilizes at +5 VDC for 250 mA.
10. When the waveform stabilizes at the proper voltage, adjust R72 (Tube 1, Large
Focus Preheat) on the mA/Rotor Board for an overall flat waveform

Figure 69 Proper mA Waveform (Typical @ 375 mA)
Figure 70 Preheat Set Too High

Figure 71 Preheat Set Too Low
11. Switch to the small focal spot.

12. Make another exposure and observe the waveform. If necessary, adjust R70
(Small Focus Preheat) on the mA/Rotor Board for an overall flat waveform
Note: After adjusting for a flat waveform at this technique, the mA amplitude of the
small focus should be less than or equal to the amplitude of the large focus. Higher
small focus amplitudes may indicate a problem in the filament drive circuitry. Contact
our technical support group for assistance.
13. Once these adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to do some minor
fine tuning. Make exposures at the following power levels, referring back to the
selected mA amplitudes in the table on p. 142. Verify that the selected mA and
mA amplitudes which occur during the exposures are correct. Adjust R63 (which
controls average mA for both small and large focus), R72 (which controls large
focus preheat), and R70 (which controls small focus preheat) as necessary, in
order to obtain flat waveforms of the correct amplitude

6. Turn the controller "OFF"

7. Disconnect test equipment from the x-ray generator
mAs Adjustment
mAs has been pre-adjusted and verified at the factory. However, it may become
necessary to test or adjust mAs in the field. Del Medical Imaging recommends using
a Dynalyzer (or equivalent) for this measurement.

mAs Adjustment - Alternate Method without Dynalyzer
mAs has been pre-adjusted and verified at the factory. However, it may become
necessary to test or adjust mAs in the field. Del Medical Imaging recommends using
a Dynalyzer (or equivalent) for this measurement.
This procedure is to be used only when a Dynalyzer is not available.
mAs Calibration
1. With power off, place the mAs Regulator Board on the extender card.
2. Connect a mAs meter in series with the MA+ lead, on the top of the high
voltage transformer. Ensure that the connections to the meter are secure.
Caution: Loose or open connections in the mA feedback circuit may result in the
presence of dangerously high voltages during exposures, and may also permanently
damage the x-ray tube.
Note: The current in this circuit is DC tube current. Although most mAs meters can
select either AC or DC measurement modes, the difference in results is negligible
when used in DC circuits.
3. Turn the generator ON.

Mode 2 Point
Focal Spot Large
kV 84
mAs 50
5. Make exposures as necessary, adjusting Pot R2 on the mAs Regulator Board for
a reading on the mAs meter that matches the selected mAs (+ 1 mAs).
6. Increase mAs to 500 mAs.
7. Make exposures as necessary, adjusting Pot R14 on the mAs Regulator Board
for a reading on the mAs meter that matches the selected mAs (+ 1 mAs).
9. Remove the mAs meter from the circuit and reconnect the MA+ wire to its
original position in the terminal strip on top of the high voltage transformer.
Ensure that this connection is secure.
10. Remove the mAs Regulator Board from the extender card and return the board
to its original position in the card cage.
mA Fault Calibration
The filament over-voltage limit circuit monitors the voltage applied to the filament
transformer and ultimately, the x-ray tube filament. This circuit turns off the filament
supply when there is either a component failure or a maladjustment
Before attempting this adjustment, observe the relay K2 of the power supply board.
This relay will be energized during normal operation. If the relay de-energizes even
with very low generator power settings, this may indicate component failure. If the
relay remains energized with low power settings, but trips at high power settings, this
may indicate that an adjustment is necessary. When the relay trips, the error
message will be: mA fault.
If adjustment is necessary:
1. Place the mA/Rotor Board 124-0095G1 on the extender card.

2. Connect the negative lead of a DVM to the mother board ground point (TP-12).
3. Connect this positive lead of the DVM to U23, pin 10 on the mA/ rotor board.
4. Turn the generator on.
5. Set the generator to manual mode, tube one, large focus, 70 kV, 11 mAs,
minimum time.
6. Press and hold "Prep" while adjusting R57 of the "mA/Rotor" board for 0.8 VDC.
If mA faults occur, turn pot CW 1/8 of a turn at a time to reduce value. Press
reset and then prep again to assure that the fault doesnt reoccur.
7. If the fault does occur, rewire the filament cable for 0.2 ohms according to the
figure on the next page.
8. Perform pre-heat mA calibration for small filament.
9. Check performance of the generator at all the small focal spot mA stations.
10. If no mA faults ocurr, turn the generator OFF, and return the mA/Rotor board to
the card cage. Procedure is complete.
11. If mA faults occur at any of the mA stations, repeat steps 7-10 for next lower
resistance value 0.1 ohms, 0.05 ohms. See figure on the next page.

AEC Device Field Calibration Procedure

The field calibration procedure matches the response of the AEC with the particular
film/screen and film processing system in use where the equipment is installed. No
ion chamber alone can match the response of all of the combinations. The AEC
circuitry provides the means to compensate for the nonlinear kV response of the
commonly used film screen combinations. Two different response curves, Screen 1
and Screen 2, can be calibrated into the AEC by this procedure.
Normally a system will have two 3 field detectors, one each for the Wall and Table
receptors, which are automatically selected at the Generator when the appropriate
image receptor is selected. Each input has offset adjustments and gain controls.
In our AEC electronics, the 3 field ion chamber has several adjustments, namely drift
for each field, field balancing and preamplifier gain. These are factory adjustments.
Please call the manufacturer if you feel an adjustment might be necessary.
Required equipment:
x Calibrated High Frequency Generator

x Installed Automatic Exposure Control Option
x Densitometer capable of measuring optical film densities from .5 to 2.5

+/- .05
x X-Ray film processor
x Film and cassettes
x Phantom - 10 pieces of 1" x 8" x 8" (2.54 cm x 20.32 cm x 20.32 cm)
pieces acrylic OR flat bottom (no reinforcing bumps) plastic bucket to
hold 12 inches (30.5 cm) of water
x Voltmeter
x Small screwdriver
x Calibrated oscilloscope - DC to 1 MHz response - storage scope
desirable
Warning: certain tests require the production of x-rays. Field personnel should take
precautions to ensure their personal safety and the safety of others in close proximity.
Minimum precautions are as follows:
a. Wear lead aprons
b. Personnel in the X-ray room during exposure should be behind a lead
shield
c. Minimize radiation scatter through doorways, walls and floor
Calibration Procedure
1. Set up x-ray system in the manner in which normal examinations will occur (40
S.I.D.)
2. Make sure film is loaded in the cassette. Six inches of acrylic phantom should be
placed in the field, with the collimated x-ray field confined within the area of the
phantom
3. Set the generator to the following technique:
- Large focal spot
- Table or wall image receptor
- AEC ON
4. The AEC is pre-calibrated at the factory to match typical film/screen

combinations of both 200 speed (Screen 1) and 400 speed (Screen 2). The
settings are based upon a 40 SID and an 8:1, 103 line grid. This calibration
procedure fine tunes the AEC to the individual installation parameters. The
following procedure would be similar for other speed systems

Figure 75 - Gain Adjustment Board
Preliminary Gain Adjustments
For the Table Image Receptor
1. Disconnect table ion chamber cable from main AEC board

2. Place a jumper from TP2 to TP15 (both on Main AEC Board)
3. Connect voltmeter to TP11 (on Gain Adjust Board) and Ground (of the Main AEC
Board)
4. Adjust R107 for 1.5 VDC
5. Remove the jumper and voltmeter. Reconnect ion chamber cable
For the Wall Image Receptor
1. Disconnect the wall ion chamber cable from the main AEC Board
2. Place a jumper from TP3 to TP15 (both on the main AEC Board)
3. Connect a voltmeter to TP10 (on the Gain Adjust Board) and ground
4. Adjust R113 for 1.5 VDC
5. Remove the jumper and voltmeter. Reconnect the wall ion chamber cable

kV Compensation Adjustments
Note: If this system is not equipped with a Bucky, the Exposure Enable Signal must
be jumpered. The Bucky must be selected for AEC operation.
For Wall Bucky: TB4 pin 2 to pin 4.
For Table Bucky: TB5 pin 2 to pin 4.
1. Verify the initial settings of the reference voltage. Connect the DC voltmeter
between TP9 and GND of the Main AEC Board. Select 72 kV "N" density. The
voltage should be 3.0 Volts when either Screen 1 or Screen 2 is selected. This
voltage may be adjusted using R137 for Screen 1 and R138 for Screen 2 (kV
Compensation PWB 124-0124)
2. Be sure an image receptor is selected, the screen selection you wish to calibrate
is selected, and density selection is N (normal)
3. If the Automatic Exposure Control is to be used with only one film/screen system,
both Screen 1 and Screen 2 should be calibrated at the same time to this single
speed system, using the same phantom thicknesses, generator settings, and
pots as listed in paragraph 10. To match the calibration of Screen 2 to that of
Screen 1, it is necessary only to match elapsed mAs during the exposure. No film
is required, but an empty cassette must be used. For example, film is used to
adjust R130, Screen 1 so that density at 72 kV is 1.2. Then an empty cassette is
used and R129 is adjusted so that the mAs of exposure at 72 kV with Screen 2
selected, is the same as the mAs recorded for the calibrated Screen 1. This mAs
matching is then repeated in turn as the other kV stations are calibrated
Figure 76 - kV Compensation Circuit Board
4. Set the Generator to 72 kV and 55 mAs. Insert 6 inches (15.24 cm) of water (or
plastic) in the field and collimate to within that water (or plastic). Insert
film/cassette into the cassette tray, select proper screen (step 2), and make an
exposure. It is important to record the elapsed mAs of this exposure. Develop the
film and measure the density at the center of the film. If the density is 1.2 +/- .05
go to step 10

5. If the measured density is not 1.2 (+/- .05), divide 1.2 by the density measured on
the film and multiply the quotient by the mAs of that exposure. This number is the
first approximation of the required exposure mAs for 72 kV to obtain a density of
1.2. Record this mAs
Sample Calculation
kV setting = 72
Exposure mAs = 30
(1.2 / 1.63) x 30 = 22
mAs
6. Locate R130 (R129 if calibrating screen 2) on the Gain Adjust PWB (124-0125).
Using the same film cassette without film, take an exposure
7. Compare the mAs of the current exposure (30 in the sample above) with the mAs
calculated (22 in the sample above) to obtain a 1.20 density. If the current
exposure mAs is smaller, turn the pot counter-clockwise. Take exposures until
the mAs of that current exposure as indicated on the generator control is close to
the calculated mAs. If R130 or R129 cannot be set low enough, then the gain
setting of the preamplifier of the ion chamber is set too high. Consult the
manufacturer for chamber gain adjust information
8. Take another film and measure the density. If the measured density is not 1.2 +/-
.05 return to step 4 and repeat steps 4 through 8
9. The master screen gain for Screen 1 (R130) has now been calibrated. It must not
be changed for the remainder of the calibration procedure
10. Repeat steps 4 through 8 for 40, 56, 90, and 125 kV. For each kV, use the
settings listed below. Be aware that pots for individual kV gain work opposite
than the pot described in step 7. If the current mAs is larger, turn the pot
counter-clockwise to decrease

Screen 2 (400 speed) is calibrated in a similar manner using the appropriate controls
and pots for screen 2. Start with Step 1.
Secondary Gain Adjustments
1. Select the table image receptor, 72 kV, 55 mAs. Insert 6 inches (15.24 cm) of
water (or plastic) into the field and collimator to within the attenuation material.
Insert an empty cassette in the Bucky tray. Set S.I.D. to 40 inches (1 meter).
Make an exposure. Record the mAs
2. Select the wall image receptor and recreate the above conditions. Make an
exposure. Record the mAs. If the mAs matches the mAs recorded in step 1, then
this portion of the calibration is complete. Proceed to step 4. If the mAs does not
match, then continue on to step 3
3. If the mAs is different, adjust R113 (on the Gain Adjust Board) until the mAs in
step 1 is achieved
4. If an auxiliary ion chamber is present in the system, repeat steps 1 through 3 as
required, this time adjusting R119 (on the Gain Adjust Board) to match the mAs
recorded in step 1
5. Verify the AEC performance by using film and a radiographic phantom
Back-Up Timer Test
1. Turn the generator OFF

2. Disconnect ion chamber cable from J1
4. Select an appropriate receptor/chamber
5. Make an exposure at 237 mAs
6. Verify that on the console the fault indication Generator Termination of AEC is
displayed
7. Depress the Reset button. The generator should be ready for another AEC
exposure
Maintenance
The calibration of the AEC must be checked every 6 months when the generator is
checked.

APX 525/625 Generator Revision F Diagnostics
DIAGNOSTICS
Troubleshooting Topics for the APX 525/625 Generator
x No Ready Light
x Ready Light is Active, but No Exposure Occurs
x Consistent kV Fault
x Intermittent kV Fault
x Long Exposure Times with Light Films
x Long Exposure Times with Dark Films
x Apparent Small Focus, Open Filament Condition
x No mA Feedback
x No kV Feedback or Improper kV Feedback
Note:
Before beginning troubleshooting check all DC power supply voltages.
NO READY LIGHT
Check the door and collimator interlocks. Lack of a rotor OK signal as well as the
door or collimator interlocks (all Low True) will inhibit the Ready light.
Do you have a valid PREP command?

Do you hear the activation of any relays when the <PREP> button is pressed? The
PREP command activates several heavy relays in the rotor boost and run circuitry
that can be heard from the outside of the power module.
Some pre-existing fault conditions that have already been latched by hardware will
inhibit generation of the PREP request signal by the CPU.
Is the rotor running?

An open X-Ray tube thermal switch will inhibit the rotor boost and run cycle.
1. Is the x-ray tube thermal switch open? Check relay K10 on the I/O Board. Also,
check fuses F2 and F3 on the I/O Board
2. Check CB1 & CB2 on the I/O Board (in series with rotor boost and run voltages)
3. Check for presence of rotor current sense voltages at the current sensing
sampling resistors R1 & R2 on the I/O Board
4. Check for correct connections for main, common, and phase wires
5. Check for presence of the rotor current sense DC voltages during boost (anodes
of CR2 & CR3 on the mA / Rotor PCB)
6. Check for Rotor OK (Low True) signal on the mA / Rotor Board at R25
Do you have filament current?
On the I/O Board (124-0107G1) check:
1. Presence of regulated DC supply voltage for filament drive primary switching

circuitry (center tap of transformer T4)
2. Fuses F2 and F3
3. Do relays K2 and K3 close on PREP?
4. Presence of drive pulses at input and output sides of U1 on I/O Board
5. Switching drive signals on primary sides of filament drive isolation transformer on
I/O board
6. Presence of PREP signal (Low True) at R3 on I/O Board
7. Confirm activation of Q3 transistor (Collector pulls R10 to GND - this enables U1
to gate the filament drive pulses to the switching transistors).
On the Power Supply Board (124-0108G1) check:
1. Presence of unregulated DC supply voltage at fuse F3

2. Fuse F1. (AC voltage to the rectifier diodes)
3. Fuse F3
4. Presence of regulated filament voltage at TP1 (This voltage may vary, depending
on tube selection. Typical voltages may be +3 VDC in standby and between +12
to +17 VDC in PREP)
5. Filament reference voltage at R7
6. Drive pulses at R17 or the collector of Q2
7. Verify that K2 is activated. (From mA / Rotor Board U11 pin 4)
READY LIGHT IS ACTIVE, BUT NO EXPOSURE OCCURS
Is the Table or Wall Bucky selected?

Exposure will not take place unless the Bucky in Motion switch is closed when
either Bucky is activated. The AEC requires that the wall or table receptor be
selected. Systems without Wall Buckys should have the TB4 pin 2 to pin 4 inputs
closed with a jumper wire. This jumps out the Bucky in Motion switch and enables
the start of the exposure.
Is the F1 fuse for the inverter DC supply open?
Caution: Dangerously high voltages may be present on the filter capacitors after
power to the generator is turned off. Always check the DC supply to the inverter with
a voltmeter before checking the F1 fuse or components in the inverter assembly.
Check the F1 fuse for continuity. Before replacing the fuse, check the inverter
components for visible signs of damage, such as charring or loose connections.
Check for shorted SCRs, diodes, or other RC snubber components.
The blown F1 fuse could be caused by any of the following conditions:
x Break in the primary circuit to the high voltage transformer (e.g.: a bad
connection or incorrect wiring)
x Short in the primary circuit to the high voltage transformer (perhaps
shorted to ground, e.g. the primary connection cover or incorrect
wiring)
x Short in the inverter (e.g.: a shorted SCR)
x Short (arcing) in the secondary, HV Cables or X-Ray tube
x Line Voltage Drop (consult the power requirements documentation)
x Gross maladjustment of the filament pre heat
x Gross maladjustment of the SCR hold off adjustment
kV FAULTS
For these generators, a text statement in the display and an early or instantaneous
termination of exposure indicates a kV Fault.
Turn the unit off then back on to reset the generator and clear the fault message
from the display.
The kV Fault signal originates on the kV Regulator Board, in a circuit that monitors
the actual kV feedback. This circuit uses two sets of window comparators to watch
the anode and cathode feedback signals separately.

If the anode or cathode feedback voltages go outside of the window value of 1.3
VDC to 7.0 VDC (representing 13 to 70 kV for either the anode or cathode) one of
the comparators will be tripped. If either comparator is tripped during an exposure
attempt, the fault condition is latched and cannot be cleared until the unit is turned
off and back on again. When this latch is engaged, the following events occur:
x kV Drive Signals are blocked by the K1 relay on the motherboard (to

terminate inverter operation)
x A fault signal is sent to the Logic PCB, which terminates all exposure
signals
x The Logic PCB sends a fault signal to the console
There are many possible causes for kV faults. This section of the user manual
provides a method for checking specific points to determine specific cause.
There are two basic categories of causes for kV faults:

x Category I - Consistent kV Fault: This is a list of possible causes for which
a kV fault occurs consistently with every exposure.
x Category II - Intermittent kV Fault: This lists the possible causes for an
intermittent kV fault.
Category I - Consistent kV Fault
Check for open inverter fuse.
1. Turn off power to the generator

2. Wait 5-10 minutes for the inverter capacitors to discharge
3. Verify with a voltmeter that there is 0 VDC across an inverter capacitor
4. Remove F1 fuse
5. Use an ohmmeter to determine if the fuse is open
Note: If this fuse continues to open, especially on higher mAs exposures, check the
capacitance of the commutation capacitors or the SCR hold-off time described in this

Check for a kV Imbalance greater than 7kV

An imbalance between the anode and cathode feedback waveforms can be caused
by:
x improper adjustment of the balance resistor at the rear of the power
module
x a defective X-ray tube

x high voltage cables
x faulty high-tension transformer
1. Connect 2 channels of an oscilloscope to kV+/- to TP-12 on the motherboard
2. Make an exposure. Based on a voltage interpretation of 1V=10kV, the anode and
cathode waveforms should be equal in amplitude. See Figure 1, Proper kV
Balance Anode to Cathode
3. Turn power off to the generator and try to balance the anode and cathode by
adjusting the balance resistor located on the rear side of the power module,
behind the screened box
4. Turn on the generator and make an exposure. Take note of the change and
repeat step 3 as necessary
Figure 1: Proper kV Balance - Anode to Cathode
5. If adjustment is not possible, check to see if the imbalance still occurs during a
No-Load test. See No-Load Test later in this section. If the imbalance persists,
the high-tension transformer is probably defective
Check for a loss of 26 VDC at the power supply board that supplies the SCR
gate transistors on the kV Regulator Board
1. Turn power off to the generator

2. Place the kV Regulator board on an extender card
3. Connect a voltmeter positive lead to the anode of CR-5 and the negative lead to
the anode of CR3
4. Turn-on the generator and measure the voltage which should be approximately
26 VDC

Check for a shorted commutation capacitor
1. Turn off power to the generator and allow 5-10 minutes for the inverter capacitors
to discharge. Verify with a voltmeter that 0 VDC is measured across the inverter
capacitors as well as on the commutation capacitors. (These terminals are
located on the outside of the generator, at the rear of the power module panel).
2. Disconnect the wires and copper straps from both commutation capacitors.
3. Place an ohmmeter across each capacitor to check for a short.
Check for missing input or defect on the kV Regulator board feedback circuit
or the gate drive circuit

2. Place the kV Regulator on an extender card
3. Connect an oscilloscope to R4 and logic ground, setting the time base for 100
microseconds
4. Make an exposure and check for 2 3 pulses 80 microseconds in duration. If
pulses are not present, the kV Regulator board may be the problem
5. Check for presence of +25 VDC supply voltage to the switching transistors at the
anode of CR5
6. Make another exposure and check for output drive pulses at R18 and R19
7. Connect a 2-channel oscilloscope to R44 and R45 on the kV Regulator and note
the feedback during an exposure. If no feedback is present, the kV feedback
cable may be defective or may have a bad connection at the high-tension tank or
power module
Check for failure of inverter board components
1. Turn off power to the generator and allow inverter capacitors to discharge for 5-
10 minutes. Verify with a voltmeter that there is 0 VDC across the inverter
capacitors
2. Measure the resistance of each SCR out of circuit in forward and reverse bias
mode. Check gate to cathode measurements also. Replace components and/or
inverter board as necessary
3. Check for loose wiring connections in the inverter circuit. Pay close attention to
the push on connections to the SCR gates
Check for Malfunctioning mA/Rotor board
1. Turn OFF power to the generator

2. Place the mA/Rotor card on an extender card

3. Check outgoing filament reference signal by connecting a voltmeter or
oscilloscope at U23, pin 1 to ground
4. Turn ON generator and prep the unit. The voltage should be approximately 5
VDC. If the output voltage is not present, check for the input reference voltage at
Pin K on the edge connector of the board. If the input reference voltage is greatly
different from the output voltage, there may be a problem on the mA/Rotor
Board. A missing input reference voltage could indicate a problem on the Data
Board
Category II - Intermittent kV Fault

For any re-installations of this equipment: Verify that the primary cable between the
high-tension transformer and power module has not been altered so that it is longer
than the standard 8-foot length.
Check for a faulty Exposure switch
Note: Be sure the exposure button is always fully depressed until the audible
exposure indicator terminates! (Bouncing exposure switch contacts may also result
in faults.)
1. Turn generator OFF

2. Place the logic PCB on an extender card
3. Connect an oscilloscope to R30 closest to the M pin and logic ground
4. Set the amplitude to measure 12 volts DC
5. Make an exposure to observe the active low pulse. It should be one single low
pulse. A multitude of pulses with a single press of this switch is the indication of a
bouncing switch
Check if filament pre-heat adjustments for small or large and/or mA level

adjustment on the mA Rotor Board are set too high or too low
1. With power off, attach the scope probe to TP14 (MA+) on the mother board
2. Attach the scope ground clip TP13 (-mA) on the mother board
3. Set the scope for a time base of 10 mSec. per division, a vertical deflection of 1
or 2 volts per division

7. Select 250 mA and make an exposure. Observe the mA wave form on the
oscilloscope. The waveform should achieve stabilization at +5 VDC.
8. You may also use the information in the table below to predict the amplitude of
the waveform for other mA values:
Note: Exposure time can be adjusted to allow the predicted mA to match up with the
chart.

9. Make an exposure and observe the waveform. If necessary, adjust R63 on the
mA/Rotor Board, so that the waveform stabilizes at +5 VDC for 250 mA.
10. When the waveform stabilizes at the proper voltage, adjust R72 (Tube 1, Large
Focus Preheat) on the mA/Rotor Board for an overall flat waveform
Proper mA Waveform (Typical @ 375 mA)
Preheat Set Too High

Figure 71 Preheat Set Too Low
11. Switch to the small focal spot.

12. Make another exposure and observe the waveform. If necessary, adjust R70
(Small Focus Preheat) on the mA/Rotor Board for an overall flat waveform
Note: After adjusting for a flat waveform at this technique, the mA amplitude of the
small focus should be less than or equal to the amplitude of the large focus. Higher
small focus amplitudes may indicate a problem in the filament drive circuitry. Contact
our technical support group for assistance.
13. Once these adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to do some minor
fine tuning. Make exposures at the following power levels, referring back to the
selected mA amplitudes in the table on p. 142. Verify that the selected mA and
mA amplitudes which occur during the exposures are correct. Adjust R63 (which
controls average mA for both small and large focus), R72 (which controls large
focus preheat), and R70 (which controls small focus preheat) as necessary, in
order to obtain flat waveforms of the correct amplitude
Shot one 60 kV, Large Focus, 500 mA, 100 mSec

Shot two 100 kV, Large Focus, 300 mA, 100 mSec
Shot three 60 kV, Small Focus, 500 mA, 100 mSec
Shot four 100 kV, Small Focus, 300 mA, 100 mSec
14. Turn power OFF
15. Return the mA/Rotor Board to the card cage.

Check for a power line input dropping below 235VAC during an exposure
1. Measure incoming line voltage at the line contactor input of the inverter power
supply with an oscilloscope set up for differential voltage measurements
2. Take note of the voltage during a full power exposure (60kV, 100 mAs, Large
Spot). If the level drops dramatically, then the power line is unstable, or the
wrong wire size may have been used
Check for a poor conducting high voltage cable
1. Turn OFF power to the generator

2. Remove high voltage cables from both the high-tension transformer and X-ray
tube
3. Check to make sure the cable pins are sufficiently spread to make good contact
4. Reconnect the cables
If problems persist, turn power off to generator and temporarily swap the anode and
cathode cables with each other at both ends.
Check for excessive ripple on the DC rail voltage due to a defective filter
capacitor or defective diode pack
1. Turn off power to the generator and allow the inverter capacitors to discharge for
5-10 minutes
Verify with a voltmeter that 0 VDC is measured across the inverter filter capacitors.
Caution: Dangerously high voltages are present on the inverter filter capacitors
whenever power is applied to the generator. Do not attempt to make any
measurements in this circuit using an ungrounded or floating scope configuration.
All measurements must be made using an oscilloscope in a differential input
configuration. If necessary, refer to the documentation for your oscilloscope for
instructions on performing differential voltage measurements.
2. Connect a dual channel oscilloscope differentially across the DC rails and adjust
the vertical scale so that you can measure between 350 to 400 VDC.

3. Turn generator on and observe the DC rail as well as during a full power
exposure (60 kV, 100 mAs, Large Spot) and determine if there are any
abnormalities or excessive ripple. You can set the scope for AC to be able to
measure the amplitude of the ripple as well
Check for a breakdown in the high-tension tank
1. Perform a no load test. See No Load Test in this section

2. If available, connect a loaner X-ray tube with a different pair of high voltage
cables
3. Turn on power and make an exposure. If problems persist, the problem may be
in the high-tension tank. Otherwise, permanently replace the X-ray tube or high
voltage cables
Check SCR Delay firing adjustment

2. Place the kV Regulator board on an extender card
3. Use an oscilloscope set for a time sweep of 50 microseconds/Div. and connect
the probe between U3-10 and ground
4. Turn generator on. Select 60 kV and 10 mAs. Make an exposure and measure
the off time between pulses at the very beginning of the exposure. It should be
140 microseconds
5. If necessary, adjust R65 on the board
Note: If you are not quite sure about how to perform this adjustment it may be better
to simply replace the board. Maladjustment of R65 can cause severe malfunction
and possible permanent damage to the generator! It is rare that this adjustment
needs to be made in the field.
Check if commutation capacitor relay changeover circuit is not switching or

has pitted contacts
1. Turn off power to the generator and allow 5-10 minutes for the inverter capacitors
to discharge
2. Verify with a voltmeter that the voltage is 0 VDC across the inverter capacitors
3. Check the contacts of K1 or K2 located at the rear left interior of the power
module, below the commutation capacitors. If contacts are in poor condition,
replace the relays
4. Turn generator on, select 80 kV, and increase the mAs from minimum, observing
the sequence of the relays energizing and de-energizing
5. If the relays dont energize, check the voltage at each relay coil while repeating
step 3. If the voltage is present, then change the defective relay
6. If no voltage is ever present, turn off generator power and place mAs Control
board on an extender card and check for switching voltages at Q1, Q2 and Q3.
Replace the board if necessary
Possible causes for an open F1 fuse
x Break in the primary circuit to the high voltage transformer (e.g.: a bad
connection or incorrect wiring)
x Short in the primary circuit to the high voltage transformer (perhaps
shorted to ground, e.g. the primary connection cover or incorrect
wiring)
x Short in the inverter (e.g.: a shorted SCR)
x Short (arcing) in the secondary, HV Cables or X-Ray tube
x Line Voltage Drop (consult the power requirements documentation)
x Gross maladjustment of the filament pre heat
x Gross maladjustment of the SCR hold off adjustment
To eliminate the HV Cables and X-Ray tube as the problem, try a No Load Test, as
described below.
No Load Test
1. Turn power to the generator off

2. Remove F3 on Power Supply PCB
3. Remove the Anode and Cathode high voltage cables from the High Voltage
Transformer and add a small amount of transformer oil (fill the cable sockets half
way for high kV tests) to prevent arcing
4. Connect a scope to the kV Feedback test points (TP10, TP11, TP12-GND on
Motherboard 124-0106G1)
5. Turn power to the generator on and set a low power technique on the control
6. Make an exposure and observe the kV waveform. The unit should initiate an
exposure and make a ticking sound, due to the slow running speed of the
inverter under no-load conditions. The exposure will continue until the button is
released. At that time a Button Fault should be displayed. The usual high
frequency sound will not be heard upon PREP. The kV waveform should be
balanced (anode to cathode) and accurate but the ripple will be a very low
frequency and greater in amplitude than normal

Theory of Operation
Communications scheme: (See illustration X1 for overview)
The human-machine interface between the operator and the APX 525/625 generator
takes place at the operators console.
The Console Display Board provides visible selection data to the operator through
the Liquid Crystal Display. The operator selects from the available technique
options, using the membrane keyboard on the face of the operators console.
Keyboard entries are input to the CPU Board (124-5045G1), and the results are
updated and displayed on the LCD.
The Interface Board communicates bi-directionally through a parallel interface from

connector J1 to connector J2 on the CPU board (124-50451).
Selected technique parameters are sent from the CPU Board to the Data Board
(124-0101G1) through an isolated asynchronous serial data link. The APX 525/625
serial communications scheme utilizes a 64-bit word, followed by a blank period,
which is continually updated and repeated as long as the generator is energized.
The serial data stream is received and decoded at the Data board, creating two
clock signals, which are used to clock the serial data through the shift registers (data
clock) on the data board, the mAs Regulator Board (124-0145G1), and the AEC
Main Board (124-0126G1) and then to latch the received data in parallel format
(memory clock).
Twenty-four of the bits of Parallel data are used to feed several D/A converters that
develop reference voltages for kV, Filament Preheat, and mA. Four more of the bits
are used to decode the Prep and Expose requests from the operators console,
thirteen bits are used to load mAs data, and the remainder are used for various
selections, such as Buckys, focal spots, commutation capacitor relays, and other
accessories, such as photo timing and Tomo devices.
Return communication from the generator to the operators console is accomplished

with a serial data link, as well as hardwired lines for mAs pulses, x-ray backup
status, and exposure duration. Fault conditions, such as kV and Filament Overload
faults, are decoded from the serial data.
All other board to board communications are accomplished via direct connections on
the motherboard and from there to the Power Supply, I/O Board, and Relay Control
Board, using a combination of wire harnesses and edge connectors.
Control of kV, mA, and Filament Preheat levels begins with analog reference
voltages, decoded by D/A converters on the Data Board (124-0101G1), which are
then sent out to the kV Regulator and mA/Rotor Boards.

Selection data for mAs, commutation capacitors, and AEC settings are streamed
from the Data Board to the mAs Board (124-0145G1). AEC data is then streamed on
through the mAs Board to the AEC Main Board.
When an exposure is taking place, the mAs Board sends a stream of mAs pulses
back up to the CPU Board in the Operators Console, which are used to provide an
indication of the mAs of the last exposure. When an exposure has reached the
desired mAs, an exposure stop signal is sent from the mAs Control Board to the
Logic Board, terminating the exposure. The actual measurement of mAs will only
begin to take place when a signal is received from the kV Regulator Board,
indicating that the kV has reached 75% of its selected value.
During exposures, the kV Regulator Board and the mA/Rotor Board monitor and
control the high voltage, tube current, and filament current in the system, and send
back fault signals to the Logic Board, if an error is detected. Either of these fault
signals will automatically terminate an exposure. The Logic Board will then report the
fault to the CPU Board, which will latch the error and inhibit any further exposures
without operator intervention.
In the AEC mode, exposures are photo timed and terminated by the AEC Main
Board, which sends an exposure stop signal to the Logic Board. Generator backup
faults are reported by the AEC Main Board to the CPU Board through the hardwire
interface.
PREP / PREP READY Cycle: (see illustration X2)
The /PREP REQUEST (LOW TRUE) is decoded from serial data at the Data Board
and sent to the Logic Board (124-0096G1). The PREP Request is then activated on
the Logic Board. A simple RC network between two of the gates of IC8 creates a self
canceling PREP state that will remain active for no longer than 20 seconds or
whenever the operator releases the PREP button on the operators console. The
/PREP output from the Logic Board is then sent to several other boards in the
system.
x On the mAs Regulator Board, the PREP Command is used to clear and reset
the mAs counters.
x On the I/O Board, IF the thermal interlock of the x-ray tube is closed THEN
the PREP command will close the K3 relay AND initiate the Rotor Boost and
Run signals to the Logic Board, which will then activate the K2 and K1 relays
in alternate sequence to provide the Boost and run voltages to the x-ray tube
stator.
x On the mA/Rotor Board, the PREP Command activates one of four preheat
adjustment potentiometers, based upon the selected combination of x-ray
tube and focal spot. The selected potentiometer is used to fine tune the
filament preheat reference voltage, in order to compensate for slight
differences found in individual x-ray tube filaments.
The filament preheat reference voltage is sent to the Power Supply Board (124-
0108G1), where it is used to regulate the output of a feed-forward voltage regulator
circuit, which provides the regulated DC filament voltage to the primary filament
switching circuitry on the I/O Board. This voltage is also monitored on the mA/Rotor
Board (Filament Voltage Feedback), where it is compared against a threshold
comparator (U23C), which is used to detect excessive filament voltage, which could
result in filament over current conditions.
When the PREP state is active and the boost and run voltages are applied to the
stator, AC currents passing through the main and phased windings of the stator are
sampled on the I/O board by transformers T2 and T3. These transformers develop
voltages across their respective load resistors, which are sent to the mA/Rotor Board
for level and phase comparisons, to ensure proper rotor operation. Following the
boost period, the signal to step down to the run voltage is ANDed together with the
phase and level comparison signals, and the /ROTOR OK signal is generated.
The /ROTOR OK signal is sent to the Logic Board, where it is ANDed together with
the Door and Collimator Interlocks. If all the interlocks are closed and the /ROTOR
OK signal is present, the /READY LIGHT signal is sent to the Control Console, and
the generator is armed for an exposure.
Exposure Functions: (see illustration X3)
The /EXPOSE REQUEST (LOW TRUE) is decoded from serial data at the Data
Board and sent to the Logic Board (124-0096G1). Any fault condition present on the
Logic Board will inhibit or terminate the /EXPOSE Command. Any fault condition,
open interlock, or STOP signal will terminate both the /EXPOSE and /PREP
Commands. The /EXPOSE Command is then sent to several other boards:
x On the kV Regulator Board (124-0110G1), the /EXPOSE Command is used

to release the +22VDC supply voltage to the pulse transformers and enable
U7, the oscillator circuit that provides the core drive signal that will be used to
create drive pulses for the SCRs.
x On the mAs Regulator Board (124-0145G1), the /EXPOSE signal enables

U3B, a BCD counter that outputs the mAs pulses internally to the binary
comparators inside the mAs timer and outputs them to the CPU in the
Operators Console. The mA feedback from the high-tension transformer
assembly is used on this board for mAs timing, and then it is buffered and
sent on to the mA/Rotor board for mA control.
x On the mA/Rotor Board (124-0095G1), the /EXPOSE Command is used to

close relay K1, which changes the control of the filament drive circuit from the
preheat reference mode to actual tube current feedback mode. The buffered

mA feedback voltage is received from the mAs regulator board and used on
this board to provide closed loop regulation of the actual tube current.
Fault detection circuits on the kV Regulator and mA/Rotor boards are used to
monitor the operation of the generator during the exposure and to send Fault signals
to the Logic Board to stop the exposure if an error is detected.
kV Control Functions: (see illustration X4)
The Inverter Power Supply is a three-phase full wave rectifier circuit, fed by the
output of the line-matching transformer, which develops approximately 400 VDC
across the filter capacitors. This voltage is passed through a large air coil inductor to
make the voltage source appear more inductive, and then through a 60-ampere dual
element fuse to the inverter bridge assembly.
kV and mAs settings from the Operators Console are decoded on the Data Board,
and used to provide the kV reference voltage to the kV Regulator Board and to
select the appropriate combination of commutation capacitors, based upon the
power requirements of the selected exposure technique. Different parallel
configurations of the commutation capacitors are used to vary the resonant
frequency of the high voltage primary switching circuit, providing optimum operation
for various power output levels.
On the kV Regulator Board, the core frequency oscillator begins to run, sending
pulses to U5, a 4013 flip-flop, which divides the pulse rate in half and delivers
symmetrical pulses to the on-board switching transistor network, which then
provides drive pulses to the pulse drive transformers in the inverter assembly. Each
pulse that is sent to U5 is also buffered and sent to U21, where an adjustable dead
band is created, which temporarily disables the SCR drive pulses, in order to prevent
cross-conduction firing of the SCRs in the inverter bridge assembly.
The inverter assembly consists of four high speed SCRs with external reverse
current diodes and RC snubber networks, are constructed in an H-bridge
configuration. The pulse transformers fire the SCRs in opposing pairs, switching the
400 VDC inverter supply back and forth across the output load, which consists of the
commutation capacitor(s) connected in series with the high-voltage transformer
primary windings, in a series-resonant configuration. The resonant circuit is self-
commutating, and requires no additional extinguishing to terminate conduction.
Inside the high-voltage transformer assembly, two separate transformers, configured

in series, are used to develop high voltage AC, which is then rectified and multiplied;
producing two filtered DC supplies for the anode and cathode voltages. Two one
hundred eighty Megohm resistive divider networks on the output sides of the DC
supplies provide proportional kV feedback voltages, developing 1 volt per 10 kV,
which are then sent to the kV Regulator board.

On the kV Regulator Board, the feedback voltages are summed, filtered, and sent to
a comparator that compares the feedback with the kV Reference voltage and is then
used to gate the core frequency oscillator on or off, resulting in closed loop
regulation of the high-voltage being delivered to the x-ray tube. Whenever the kV
feedback falls beneath the kV reference voltage threshold, the core frequency
oscillator is gated on until the kV meets or exceeds the reference voltage. The
Feedback voltages are also sent to a pair of window comparators that are used to
detect under voltage or over voltage conditions on either the anode or cathode
supplies. An error that is detected in either window comparator latches the fault
condition, shutting off the SCR drive pulses and sending a kV fault signal to the
Logic Board. The operator must reset the machine in order to clear this fault.
The summed kV feedback voltage is also sent to another comparator, which sends a
signal to the mAs Regulator board to start the mAs timing circuit when the kV has
reached 75% of its desired value.
Filament and mA Control: (see illustration X5)
The filament preheat and mA reference voltages are developed on the Data Board
and sent to the mA/Rotor Board, where they are used to regulate the filament
preheat and mA levels for each exposure. Preheat levels for all tubes contained in
the firmware libraries are predetermined and calculated to provide proper preheat
levels for each mA level that the generator utilizes. The generator automatically
selects the highest allowable mA level for the selected combination of kV and mAs
that can be performed on the selected x-ray tube, based upon the tubes power
rating.
Control of the filament is accomplished by switching the primary windings of an

isolation transformer on the I/O Board with at a continuous rate, while varying the
voltage applied to the switching circuit.
The preheat reference voltage is fed to a network of potentiometers, which is used to

fine tune the preheat levels for the small and large focal spots. This reference
voltage is fed to a voltage regulator circuit on the Power Supply Board, where it is
used to regulate the voltage sent to the switching circuitry on the primary side of the
filament drive isolation transformer. During standby, a small voltage is used to
develop a low keep alive current on the selected filament of the x-ray tube.
When PREP is initiated, the preheat reference voltage is applied to the regulator
circuit and the filament is warmed to the level of the upcoming exposure. The boost
time adjustment for the stator is also used to determine the minimum time of the
Prep cycle.
When the exposure command is received, the K1 relay is closed on the mA/Rotor
Board, bringing the comparator signal from U24 into use, in conjunction with the
filament preheat reference. Actual mA feedback current is passed through sampling
resistors and the voltage is fed to the mAs Regulator Board, where it is buffered and
fed to the mA/Rotor Board.
The mA/Rotor Board also has a filament protection circuit (U23C) to detect unusually
high voltages coming from the filament power supply and to then initiate a filament
fault signal that will disable the generators ability to generate an exposure. An
additional circuit on the same board can be used to detect unusually long periods of
filament operation at boost levels, and to initiate the same filament fault signal.

the APR utility.
When the download is complete, the APR utility will display this message:
CRC Valid and the Operators Console will display a message relating to the
number of transferred bytes.
The download of APR data is now complete.
You must now ensure that the tube data is correct before continuing.
Initial optimization of the APR database

The basic APR database has been optimized for the smallest tube in the AXR Tube
Library of compatible X-Ray tubes. This tube library, which contains the maximum
operating limitations and filament preheat characteristics for all X-Ray tubes which
are certified as being compatible with the AXR series generators, is an existing
component of the program which runs the Operators Console.
In order to optimize the power level of the APR techniques, you must perform the
following steps for all APR Region selections:
x In the Region portion of the APR utility screen, select the first available
anatomical Region (Upper Extremity).
x Select Region in the Global adjustments portion of the APR utility screen.

x Select 1.0 from the mAs multiplier window in the Global Adjustments portion
of the screen. The power levels for all views in this anatomic region will now
automatically update to match the capabilities of the installed x-ray tube.
x Select the next anatomical region (Lower Extremity). Re-select the 1.0 mAs
multiplier again, and verify that the power levels have been updated.
These steps must be performed for all eight anatomical regions, in order
to update the entire APR database.
Using the same approach, KV may also be changed by anatomic region or for any
view within any region, by up to +/- 10 KV.
Any parameter for any individual technique or any patient thickness within any
technique may also be changed by double clicking on the exposure parameter you
wish to change. Pulldown menus will appear in that window, listing available choices
for KV, Time, or mA.
Additionally, the AEC may be activated or deactivated for any view, as well as the
selection of ion chamber fields, film/screen combinations, overall film density
compensation, and image receptor selections. Default settings for patient sizes and
thicknesses may also be changed per view, using the Patient Size Index portion of
the APR utility screen.

Creating New Anatomical Views

Any anatomical region or view within a region may be renamed, by wiping the text
and typing in the new name for the selection. However, renaming techniques will not
automatically change the exposure techniques which may have already been
programmed for that location.
In all available anatomic regions, there are up to 12 available views, with 20

available densities per view. New views may be created within any anatomic region
by selecting one of the available spare views and assigning it an identifiable name.
Exposure technique data for any new view must be entered into all of the 20 patient
thickness locations. After entering the KV, MA, and Time for all available selections
in the new view, you must optimize the view for your x-ray tube, using the View
selection within the Global Adjustments portion of the APR utility screen, and
selecting a mAs multiplier of 1.0.
You must enter the value for patient thickness (in cm) for all thicknesses that
will be allowable within this view. You may limit the available patient thickness
of any view by entering a value of 0 for all non-required selections.
Any techniques which may have been created that fall outside the tube protection
profile for the selected x-ray tube will cause the header for the column to turn red,
indicating that you have made an unallowable choice. Changing the excessive value
of MA, Time, or KV will clear the error condition.

Uploading Modified APR Files

After modification, the optimized APR database can be uploaded to the Operators
Control Console in the same manner as the download process, by utilizing the Send
Data button on the APR utility screen.
NOTE:
The database downloaded from any generator contains the specific

signature of that generators power limit, tube type, and derating status.
As a result, the database may only be uploaded to a generator equipped
with the same tube, generator power limit, and derating status.
x The Operators Console must be in the Laptop Transfer mode, with the
WAITING FOR CMD message displayed.
x Click on the Send Data button in the Data Transfer portion of the APR utility
screen.
x The APR utility program will establish communication with the console,
transfer data, verify the checksum, and wait for the flash memory to be
updated. When the process is complete, the APR utility will display the Flash
Updated message and the operators console will return to the waiting for
command state.
x You may now exit the utility screens on the operators console by pressing
<Exit> at all prompts. The operators console will then complete the boot
sequence and power up the generator.
The upload of APR data is now complete.

x Dynalyzer or kV meter
x Oscilloscope - dual trace storage with algebraic addition capabilities
INSPECTION
1. Clean all exterior surfaces of the control console, power module and high tension
transformer
2. Inspect for loose, broken or missing hardware
3. Inspect all accessible electrical cables for fraying or abrasion
4. Remove high tension cables, clean, re-grease with vapor-proof compound.
Reinsert high tension jacks into federal receptacles. Insure cables are well
seated and pins make good contact. Carefully spread pins with pocketknife, if
necessary, and reseat cables
5. Verify that insert of tube matches tube insert selected in the system installation
file. If it does not, call Del Medical Imaging Technical Support
6. Observe WARNING as hazardous voltages may be present. Turn disconnect off.
Open power module front panel
7. Inspect for loose or corroded connections. Check all circuit boards and wiring
harness plugs to assure they are well seated in their proper receptacles
8. Verify the accuracy of Kilovoltage, mAs, and mA. Calibrate as necessary

9. Inspect electromechanical contactors and relays for pitting, poor contact, loose or
missing parts. Replace if necessary
10. High Voltage Transformer
x Check transformer oil level. Proper oil level should be within 1/4" below the
bottom side of the cover. To replenish transformer oil, fill with Diala Oil AX
only
x Check electrical and mechanical connections of the transformer. Clean and
tighten as necessary
11. Audible & Visual Exposure Indicators - Confirm that the audible indicator which
indicates an X-ray exposure, and the visual indicator, which indicates the
production of X-rays, are functioning correctly
Note: Always observe the tube manufacturer's duty cycle recommendations.
Avoid unnecessary or excessively long prep periods, as they will shorten tube life.
The tube filament and rotor are activated during prep.
