WARNING
The generator power supply in module 1 contains a large storage capacitor that
filters the line voltage. The capacitor may contain high voltage even after the unit
has been disconnected from the mains supply.
WARNING
Module 1 (power supply) contains dangerous voltages.
During operation the voltages exceed 250V DC.
In the following; two different versions of the U333 board are described.
In the board version "f" both the lift motor control and the lift motor power are connected to the
same rectifier "GL1"
In the board version "g" only the lift motor power is connected to the output of rectifier "GL1". The
lift motor control is supplied via two additional diodes "D16" and "D18" connected to the input of
the rectifier "GL1" by an additional cable. (→ Ch. 4.8, p. 4-9)
This cable ia available as part No.29265.
NOTE
If an older board U333 "f" or below has to be replaced by a U333 "g" board, the
cable between "GL1" input and U333g connector "X27" has to be installed also.
Module 001 is supplied with mains voltage (230 VAC or 110 VAC) via terminal X1 (→ Fig. 4-10,
p. 4-15).
Transformer TR1 is constantly powered via mains fuses F1, F2, F3 and F4 (→ Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15)
and back-up fuse F7. It thus keeps capacitor C1 constantly charged via secondary fuse F8 and
diode D7.
Module 001 is switched on by connecting the NETZEIN and EAGND signals (→ Fig. 4-10,
p. 4-15), either via plug X17 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) on the FST keyboard or via plug X11
(→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) on the MW keyboard.
Module 001 is switched off by connecting the NETZAUS and EAGND signals (→ Fig. 4-10,
p. 4-15), either via plug X17 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) on the FST keyboard or via plug X11
(→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) on the MW keyboard.
After switching on, relay K4 (→ Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15) picks up and latches with diode D1. The Power
On LED (on the FST keyboard) is powered via resistor R5. Relay K1 (cut-off relay with 3 mm con-
tact gap) picks up, and transformer TR1 (on the transformer panel) is switched to the power supply
via fuse F5 and soft start resistor RL (on the transformer panel).
Once electrolytic capacitor C2 has charged via the secondary winding (24 V, 3 A) (protected by
fuse F3 on TR1) of transformer TR1 and rectifier GL3 (both on the transformer panel), and con-
nected via plug X24 (→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17) and resistor R7, relay K2 short-circuits with the closing
relay RL (contacts → Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15).
Relay K3 (→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17) ensures that capacitors C and C2 are always discharged safely
via resistors R6 and R3 during power off.
The secondary winding (24 V, 5 A) (protected by fuse F2 on TR1) of transformer TR1 powers the
lifting motor switching circuit via rectifier GL1 (both on the transformer panel).
The secondary winding (24 V, 3 A) of transformer TR1 supplies module U326 (generator adapta-
tion) in the 19" rack via rectifier GL3 (both on the transformer panel), plug X24 (→ Fig. 4-12,
p. 4-17) and the central plug (on the transformer panel).
The secondary winding (230 VAC) of transformer TR1 (on the transformer panel) supplies trans-
former TR2 (protected by fuse F1 on TR2 on the transformer panel). It also supplies plugs X3, X4
and X5 (→ Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15) via plug X7 (→ Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15) and fuse F6. The “Compact unit”
section is connected to plug X5.
The four 9 V secondary voltages (protected by fuses F5 – F8 on TR2) from transformer TR2 are
supplied to module U334 (power unit for Module 2 via the central plug. The 24 V, 0.5 A secondary
voltage (protected by fuse F9 on TR2) is used to rotate the image of the monitors (in the "Compact
unit" section), while the 24 V, 4 A secondary voltage (protected by fuse F4 on TR2) powers mod-
ules BG1(18 V) and BG2 (coolant pump) via rectifier GL4 (on the transformer panel) and plug X12
(→ Fig. 4-13, p. 4-18).
The 18 VDC voltage generated by module BG1 supplies Module 3, Module 4, the VacuDAP dose
meter electronics and the signal horn (U80) via plug X19 and the central plug. The 18 VDC voltage
also supplies the mobile stand keyboard via plug X17 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16).
The screening between the primary winding and the secondary windings is connected to PE
potential on all three transformers.
(TR1 and TR2 on the transformer panel and TR1 on U333).
During power off, the excitation voltage is disconnected from relay K4 (→ Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15).
Relay K4 then drops out, followed by cut-off relay K1 (→ Fig. 4-10, p. 4-15).
Diodes D2 and D3 are used to isolate the on/off circuits in the mobile C-arm stand and monitor
cart.
Secondary winding 1 of transformer TR1 (on the transformer panel) supplies the operating voltage
for generating high voltage for the generator. The three tapping points 90 V/120 V or 136 V/ 195 V
are linked to plug X9 (→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17).
The /POWER1 signal at plug X11 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) activates relay K5 (→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17),
while the /POWER2 signal at plug X11 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) activates relay K6 (→ Fig. 4-12,
p. 4-17). The selected voltage is supplied to capacitor C (on the transformer panel) via rectifier
GL2 (on the transformer panel) and plug X14 (→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17).
Relay K7 is activated via transistor T1 when the /CANSTÖR signal at plug X10 and X13
(→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17) is “HIGH” (default). The capacitor voltage is then connected through to the
generator via plug X15 and X16.
The CAN signals are routed from the central plug (on the transformer panel), via plug X10 and
X13 (→ Fig. 4-12, p. 4-17) to the FST keyboard.
Resistor R6 is used to quickly discharge capacitor C (on the transformer panel) when the device
is switched off.
This part of the circuit is supplied by secondary winding 2 of transformer TR1 (on the transformer
panel). This voltage is routed from X23 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) via GL1 (on the transformer panel).
Resistors R01 and R02 (on the transformer panel) are also connected to this plug, and serve to
limit the lifting motor operating and braking currents. The lifting motor is connected to plugs X21
and X22 (→ Fig. 4-11, p. 4-16) and is short-circuited via the relay contacts of K8 and K9 when set
to Off.
The voltage regulator IC5 is supplied via diode D16, resistor R28 and Zener diode D17. It gener-
ates the supply voltage for the electronic circuit.
The “Lifting motor up” and “Lifting motor down” keys on the FST keyboard are linked to PCB U333
via plug X17.
The limit switches connected to plug X18 limit the traveling range of the lifting motor. When they
reach their end position, they open the contact, and the lifting motor cannot travel any further in
this direction.
The Schmitt triggers IC1D and IC1E are linked to AND gates IC2B and IC2C and prevent the
motor running if the “Lifting motor up” and “Lifting motor down” keys are pressed at the same time.

This part is supplied via X1 with 18 VDC. As soon as the signal at X1 gets “HIGH”, the transistor
T2 gets conductive. Then the oscillator formed by buzzer H1, transistor T1, resistor R1 and con-
denser C1 is activated and the horn sounds.
NOTE
For service, the connector X1 can be removed temporarily in order to turn off the
alarm sound.
The U437 board is used in order to connect the VacuDAP meter electronics to the connecting
cable located in the module 1. Additionally the board provides a calibration function. By setting the
jumper to the service setting, the DAP meter can be adjusted using the S1 - and S2 + keys.
The U424 board is optionally equipped in units with active cooling. It switches the pump supply
voltage on and off controlled by a signal coming from Module 2 via the main connector.
5 Module 2
5.1 Module 2 19" Rack Description
5.1.1 General
The slide-in board U325 is the central control unit of the C-arm.
All machine data are stored on this board.
Machine data include information about:
− options
− start up configuration
− diaphragm settings in case of standard collimator
− kV - mA characteristics
− hand and foot switch configuration.
The board receives data via the CAN bus from module 3, calculates the kV and mA nominal val-
ues and forwards them as data words via the internal LUCY bus to the U326 board.
Also the information for diaphragm setting and laser switching are transmitted that way.
The hand and foot switches are monitored for short circuits.
The real time clock counts up the radiation time and is used to create an error log.
The safety logic prevents from unintended radiation.
There is a detailed description in → Ch. 5.7, p. 5-16 “Hardware Radiation Logic”
The monitor cart detection controls the CAN bus termination logic on board U334.
The power switching controls the relays K5 and K6 on the board U333.
The slide-in board U326 is the control board for the generator.
Here the data words coming from the U325 board are converted to analog values and discrete
switching signals:
− 12 bit words are converted to mA and kV analog control values
− Slot and Iris collimator controls are decoded and sent to the collimators via drivers.
(only used for standard collimator)
− Laser switch command is decoded and sent to the generator
− radiography mode command is decoded and sent to the generator.
The mA nominal value is compared to the actual value measured in the generator.
The difference controls a switching regulator, which generates the filament voltage from 24 V input
voltage.
A temperature switching signal (0.5 mA) is received from the generator. This signal is encoded on
the U326 board and sent to the U325 board in order to control the system depending on the gen-
erator temperature.
The fault line coming from the generator is received. This signal is monitored by the fault LED on
the U326 board and is connected to the CAN fault line by an optocoupler.
Also 15 V and ±10 V for the board supply are generated. The voltages are monitored on the front
of the board.

After exchange the U326 board has to be adjusted according to the following instructions:
1 General:
C-arm has to run properly before adjustments can be made.
The potentiometers and their labels at the front panel (U326):
− P5 mA offset
− P4 pre-heating
− P3 mA DAC offset
− P2 exposure
− P1 kV offset
Necessary test equipment:
Test cable to generator (to check the actual generator values)
Test cable to the front connector of U326 (for the signal names refer to the U326 sche-
matic)
PC with USBCAN or PARCAN test set.
2 Adjust filament voltage without exposure
• Set fluoroscopy mode, connect test cable to the front connector of U326
Connect voltage meter to: + with UH - with GND
Adjust potentiometer P4 to 12.0 V (P4 = pre-heating)
3 Adjust mA offset with exposure
• Set fluoroscopy mode, set kV manual and 40 kV
Connect ampere meter instead of the mA bridge in the generator.
Adjust potentiometer P5 to 0.2 mA (P5 = mA Offset)
• Measure the voltage UH with exposure and keep the voltage value in mind.
Adjust pre-heating to memorized value with potentiometer P4 without exposure.
4 Adjust kV with exposure
• Set fluoroscopy program extremities, set kV manual and 80 kV
Connect voltage meter to + with kV measuring point “f” – with generator ground
Adjust potentiometer P1 to 8.0 V (1 V equals 10 kV)
Check voltages at 40, 60, 100, 110 kV
5 Adjust mA with exposure, top value
Set spine / pelvis fluoroscopy program (program 2), set kV manual and 65 kV
(mA display has to indicate 6.0 mA)
Connect ampere-meter instead of the mA bridge in the generator.
Adjust potentiometer P3 to 5.95 mA
6 Adjust mA with exposure, bottom value
• Set spine / pelvis fluoroscopy program (program 2), set kV manual and 40 kV
Connect ampere-meter instead of the mA bridge in the generator.
Adjust potentiometer P5 to 0.2 mA

6.1 Module 3 Memory Unit
6.1.1 General
NOTE
Module 3 will be missing if system is equipped with a U501 board.
There is a U300 processor board (LUCY) on the U180 board. Thus module 3 is part of the CAN
bus.
On the U300 board the anatomical program data are stored.
Anatomical program data contain values for:
− dose and video adjustment
− diameter of the gauging circle
− regulation mode.
Values are stored independently for every anatomical mode and magnifier size. The U180 trans-
mits values for Iris and AGC to the CCD camera. The iris position is fed back to the analog inputs
by a potentiometer.
At the analog multiplexer there are also values gained from the video signal in order to do dose
and video regulation. The average or peak value is compared to an internal value. The difference
is transmitted by the CAN bus to the module 2 to regulate the necessary dose value.
The black and white values are compared to values stored in the organ table. The difference con-
trols the black clamping and white clipping (video adjustment, → Ch. 19.1.2, p. 19-3).
There is a digital circle generator on the U321 board. This generates the gauging and blanking
circles.
Within those areas, the video signal is measured and the result is sent to the LUCY of the U180.
The signal stages “curve” and “white level regulator” are controlled by the LUCY of the U180
board.
In the signal mixer the video signal is overlaid by the blanking circle.
Sync signals are separated from the video signal in order to synchronize the circle generator and
additional hardware for Compact units. (Image memory, 100 Hz converter)
To change the memory unit, the 4 nuts have to be removed → Fig. 6-7, p. 6-9.
Now the module can be opened. Remove connectors X5, X7, X9, X17 on the board U180 as well
as the coax connectors X7, X3 on U321and X12 on U 180 → Fig. 6-8, p. 6-9.
The unit is fixed by two screws → Fig. 6-9, p. 6-9.

The CCD sensor is a solid-state imaging device that produces a black and white image. Light
entering wells in the sensor are converted to electrons, which are read out from the sensor, ampli-
fied and converted to a digital video signal. The video signal is transmitted via an analog video
coax cable to the image processing system.
The camera distance is set by using different mounting rings. The camera will be shipped without
a mounting ring. For installing the camera, the ring has to be taken from the camera that has been
installed before.

8.1 Overview
PCBs summary
U41 Motherboard
U54 kV control
The following steps show the signals required for the generator to work properly:
Measurements are made on the U185 Filter frame.
1. U1 (final stage supply) must be in the range of approx. 130 to 280 VDC depending on the
operating mode. (Generator power in W). This voltage has to be present in standby also.
Check the voltages at each of the three stages. (see table below)
Screen once before measuring.
If E26 is present, the voltage is switched off by module1 for safety reasons.
The test points are:
plus X11 Pin 2
minus X11 Pin 4
3. UH (filament voltage) must be in a range of approx. 9.5 to 11 VDC in standby and approx.
9.5 to 18 VDC while screening depending on selected mA value. If the voltage gets below
7.5 VDC, the generator pulls the fault line (E26) If the voltage gets above 22 VDC for a cer-
tain time, the filament regulator on the U326 switches off and radiation will be interrupted.
The test points are:
plus X11 Pin 3
minus X12 Pin 1
4. kV reference voltage must be in the range of 8.1 to 12 VDC depending on the selected kV
value. Voltage has to be also present during standby.
8.1 VDC equals to 40 kV and 12 VDC equals to 110 kV; 55 mV is 1 kV step.
The test points are:
plus BG2 Pin 4 (kV ref.)
minus BG2 Pin 2 (kV ground)
WARNING
Module 5 (generator) contains dangerous voltages.
During operation the voltages exceed 250 VDC.
WARNING
Measurements partly have to be done while screening.
Take care for radiation protection.

14 Power Supply
14.1 View of Power Supply
WARNING
Module 10 (monitor cart power supply) contains dangerous voltages.
The monitor cart module 10 power supply is the main power module for the Ziehm Vista C-arm
and provides
− power isolation from mains input
− internal power distribution of 230 VAC to the monitor cart and through the XP0 for the mobile
stand
− inrush current limiter
− on/off circuitry
− emergency stop and key switch lock for power
NOTE
Those facilities demonstrating large fluctuations in the mains line voltage may
require a more detailed measurement test. Placing a lines voltage monitor and
monitor the line voltage for 12 to 24 hours. This is an important issue and should
not be overlooked.
Once the line voltage is determined to be stable and within the range of the selec-
tion table the service technician must follow the tap setting and jumper placement

15.11.1 Overview
General
A large number of parameters can be preset for the Ziehm Vista. This is done in a configuration
menu.
Function
The Service Settings menu is used for modifying different system parameters which affect both
the quality of the fluoroscopic image and the user interface.
Password
The Service Settings menu is password-protected. If you are an authorized person, you can
obtain the password from your local Ziehm dealer.
Function
The Step Windowing menu is used for presetting 4 fixed steps for the contrast window level (L)
and width (W). During fluoroscopy, you can select these steps with the contrast keys on the C-
arm stand.
NOTE
For the subtraction modes, no step windowing is available.
Parameter range
The available parameter range (0–255) is displayed as soon as the menu item is selected with the
down arrow or up arrow key. The desired values must be entered with the alphanumeric keys.
NOTE
Default values are listed in the adjustment chapter.→ Ch. 19.2.3.1, p. 19-14
− Windowing: Off
The contrast keys on the C-arm stand work in standard windowing mode.
− Windowing: On
The contrast keys on the C-arm stand work in step windowing mode.
Default setting
The default windowing steps which are activated after power-up can be programmed for each indi-
vidual anatomical program under Configuration Menu → Service Settings → Filter Factors →
Organ 0 / Organ 1 / Organ 2 / Soft (→ Ch. 15.11.4.1, p. 15-16).
Function
The Filter Factors submenu is used for setting different filter factors for each anatomical program
and each subtraction mode in separate submenus.
Filter types
For each of the anatomical programs Organ 0, Organ 1, Organ 2 and Soft, the values for the
following filters can be programmed:
− Recursive filter for continuous fluoroscopy
(independent settings for normal view, magnification 1 and magnification 2)
− Stack filter for continuous fluoroscopy
− Edge filter
− Default windowing step after power-up
− Stack filter for continuous pulse fluoroscopy
− Stack filter for snapshot
Parameter values
The following parameter values can be set:
Recursive filter
The recursive filter adds a certain number of images (which are determined by the preset level)
during fluoroscopy. Each newly-acquired image is superimposed by the result of the previous
addition with a certain weighting factor. The higher the number of images, the greater the noise
suppression, but also the greater motion blurring.
The values can be set independently for normal view, magnification 1 and magnification 2. The
values are displayed in the lower left corner of the live screen in the following form: N=0, N=1, N=2,
N=3.
The preset values can be adjusted during operation with the F2 and F3 keys on the C-arm stand
control panel.
Stack filter
The stack filter generates and adds the preset number of images after radiation has been termi-
nated. The higher the preset number of images, the greater the noise suppression, but also the
greater motion blurring if the patient moves during image generation.
Edge filter
The edge filter is used for setting a greater or lesser degree of enhancement (sharpening) of
edges within the image. 4 levels of edge enhancement are available:
Level Meaning
Increasing the level of edge enhancement will also cause any noise in the image to become more
apparent, though.
Windowing step
This value determines which windowing step is automatically set by the system for the corre-
sponding anatomical program after power-up, provided that the step windowing mode has been
activated (→ Ch. 15.11.3, p. 15-13).
You can adjust these default settings later during operation using the contrast keys on the C-arm
stand.
Continuous pulse
This setting defines how many images are used for the stack filter in continuous pulse fluoros-
copy mode (overriding the value specified under Stack filter).
Snapshot
This setting defines how many images are used for the stack filter in snapshot mode (overriding
the value specified under Stack filter).
NOTE
Default values are listed in the adjustment chapter.→ Ch. 19.2.3.3, p. 19-15
Filter types
For each of the subtraction modes DSA, RSA and MSA, the values for the following filters can be
programmed:
− Recursive filter
(independent settings for normal view, magnification 1 and magnification 2)
− Stack filter
− Edge filter
Parameter values
The following parameter values can be set:
NOTE
Default values are listed in the adjustment chapter.→ Ch. 19.2.3.3, p. 19-15
Parameter values
The following parameter values can be set:
NOTE
Default values are listed in the adjustment chapter.→ Ch. 19.2.3.3, p. 19-15
Function
This menu is used for setting default values for the width (W) and level (L) of the contrast window.
This is done separately for DSA, MSA and RSA.
If the system is equipped with the CO2 option, the default windowing values for each individual
subtraction mode in combination with CO2 can be set in addition.
Parameter range
The available parameter range (0–255) is displayed as soon as the menu item is selected with the
down arrow or up arrow key. The desired values must be entered with the alphanumeric keys.
Function key F3 – CO2 moves the cursor to the column where the default windowing values for
the subtraction modes with CO2 negative contrast medium are set.
Function key F3 – Normal returns the cursor to the column where the default windowing values
for the subtraction modes with positive contrast medium are set.
NOTE
The default values are listed in the adjustment chapter (→ Ch. 19.2.3.3, p. 19-15).
→ Ch. 16

DICOM means Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. This worldwide standard was
developed by ACR and NEMA for the exchange of information between digital imaging computer
systems in medical environments.
The Ziehm C-arm can be supplied with 5 DICOM options:
1 With the DICOM Storage option you can send x-ray documentation to a DICOM computer
network. With DICOM Storage Commitment you can get a confirmation from the archive
that an image is saved.
2 With the DICOM Media Storage option you can save x-ray documentation to a 650 MB for-
matted MO disk or DVD/CD.
3 The DICOM Query/Retrieve option is used to query patient, study, series and image data
from a computer network.
4 The DICOM Worklist option is used to query a worklist job for today from a computer net-
work. MPPS can be used to send worklist jobs into the status “in progress” and finally “com-
pleted”.
5 The DICOM Basic Grayscale Print option is used to print x-ray images to a computer net-
work.
The basic document of the DICOM application is the “Conformance Statement”, which is obli-
gation for every “DICOM participant”. With this document you can decide whether the communi-
cation between Ziehm C-arm (SCU = Service Class User) and server (SCP = Service Class
Provider) will be successful.
The DICOM transmission needs the network parameters described in the following section:
To enable the system to establish a connection for a DICOM data transfer, you must specify the
following network parameters:
− IP subnet mask
255.255.255.0 (subnet mask, combined with IP address yields group address, see above)
IP address ranges (examples, other configurations are possible):
− Class A network: 255.0.0.0
− Class B network: 255.255.0.0
− Class C network: 255.255.255.0
− IP address gateway
If the server and Ziehm NetPort belong to different groups, a gateway must be specified, e.g.
192.168.127.254.
Image attributes
Under Image attributes included you define which filter algorithms from the image memory are
applied to the DICOM image prior to transfer. By default, all attributes are set to Off, and the raw
image is transferred.
• Press the Y key if you want to activate the Storage Commitment function, or
• Press the N key if you do not want to activate the Storage Commitment function.
Image attributes
Under Image attributes included you define which filter algorithms from the image memory are
applied to the DICOM image prior to saving. By default, all attributes are set to Off, and the raw
image is saved.
• To enter a special character, press and hold down key F4 – < or F5 – > until the desired special
character appears.
Query model
When configuring the query/retrieve server, you specify not only the general network parameters
(→ Ch. 16.2, p. 16-2), but also the query model:

18 Software Tools
18.1 Exposcop Studio
This program is a tool with which you can perform various service procedures on the mobile X-ray
systems of the Ziehm 7000, 8000, Compact and Vista series. This requires, however, that you
have acquired the necessary skill and knowledge by attending a training at Ziehm Imaging. If this
is not the case, you should not try to change the settings of your Ziehm C-arm with this program,
but instead request a trained service technician from Ziehm Imaging.
Communication between notebook and C-arm is established via a CAN interface. There are two
possibilities to connect a notebook to the C-arm:
• Via a USB-CAN adapter
• Via a PARCAN adapter (not available as a new part anymore)
The connection must be configured in the Exposcop Studio “Interface Selection” dialog box.
In order to start the Exposcop Studio, you will find the Exposcop Studio under Start menu > Pro-
grams > Ziehm Imaging > Exposcop Studio.
It is recommended to create a shortcut on the desktop.
When you start the Exposcop Studio software, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) possibly may
not start. If you get a window “Connecting the Exposcop”, followed by a message box “Interface”,
the USB-CAN or PARCAN adapter cannot be found.
Check your cable connection. If the cable is connected correctly, press the “Change” button.
Select either “PARCAN-Adapter” or “USB-CAN Adapter”. Select the LPT port your notebook uses.
The other options refer to cards for stationary computers and are not used for field service.
If everything is configured correctly, after pressing “OK” the GUI will start.
If no dose measuring system is connected to the computer, enter value -1 in the Dosemeter Port
field.
After pressing OK, another window may appear, if the adapter cannot communicate with the C-
arm:
For details on how to solve this problem, → Ch. 18.1.19, p. 18-32, Problem correction
The main window displays a virtual keyboard for the Ziehm C-arm and below that a status line and
a workspace. You can select different tabs with the tab labels at the bottom of the workspace for
the various service tasks. Please note that you must select an image intensifier size before you
can access another tab. Since the dose for the protocol and various default settings depend on
this value, an adjustment is only possible after you have made a selection here.
With the virtual keyboard you can control functions of the Ziehm C-arm that need to be changed
frequently when working with the Studio Software. Additionally it shows the current state of the
Ziehm C-arm. You can press the keys with the mouse or use the following shortcuts:
F2 Thorax program
F3 Pelvis program
F4 Extremities program
F5 DSA
F6 RSA
F7 MSA
F8 Soft
F9 Metal
F10 Magnifier
Ctrl+F2 Fluoroscopy
Ctrl+F4 Snapshot
In the status line you can see information about the selected organ program in plain text. Addition-
ally the number of the used organ table and kV/mA table is displayed. In the organ table the char-
acteristics for AGC, CCD iris and the video adjustment data are stored. The kV/mA table defines
the current for a given voltage and so the intensity of X-ray radiation. Also the actual value of the
CCD iris is shown.
18.1.3.4 Workspace
The workspace has a number of tabs for the various service procedures you can do with Studio
Software. To switch between them, press the corresponding tab label at the bottom. You can also
press Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab to switch to the next or previous tab.
The following tabs are available:
− General shows serial numbers, software versions and the error status.
− Adjustment allows changing the adjustment data for the selected organ program.
− Generator is where you can change the generator settings.
− Update allows you to update the software in the Ziehm C-arm.
− Options is the tab where you can change the option settings.
− Under Startup Config you can change the way the Ziehm C-arm starts up after power-on.
− Under kVmA Tab you can view the kV/mA table for the current organ program.
− Error shows the error log and allows download and erase the error log
− Times provides different timer settings
− DAP: dose meter setup
− CAN: performs a ping to all CAN modules
18.1.4.1 Exposcop
The “Program module...” command opens a window which allows to program single modules
manually without machine data conversion and transmission. This is required if a module has lost
its software and is not displayed on the “Update” tab anymore.
The module name and the required software version (corresponding to a global release) have to
be selected. Now programming can be started. After programming, machine data for the module
has to be transmitted.
Available modules are:
− U325 Module 2
− U180 Module 3
− U181 Module 6 Keyboard Ziehm 7000
− U400 Module 6 Keyboard Ziehm 8000 and Vista
− U353 CAN interface Ziehm 7000 Monitor Cart USA
− U385 Module 11 Image Memory
− U501 Video & Dose control
This function has to be used after battery replacement on the U325 board in order to clear the
Warning “E32”.
18.1.4.2 “Workspace”
18.1.4.3 “Settings”
On the “Adjustment” tab you can do the dose and video adjustment for the current organ program.
Which organ program is the current one is shown in the status line. You can also see there which
organ table number and which kV/mA table are used for this organ program.
In the “fluoroscopy program to adjust” combo box, you specify which organ program will be
adjusted.
The following options are available:
current The current program of the Ziehm C-arm is adjusted. This is the default setting.
Thorax The “Thorax” organ program is put on the corresponding organ key.
Pelvis The “Pelvis” organ program is put on the corresponding organ key. The appro-
priate kV/mA table is transmitted into the Ziehm C-arm.
Spine The “Spine” organ program is put on the “Pelvis” organ key. The appropriate
kV/mA table is transmitted into the Ziehm C-arm.To put the original program on
the “Pelvis” organ key, select “Pelvis” in the combo box again.
CO2 The Ziehm C-arm is prepared for the adjustment of the CO2 program. You can
load default settings for the corresponding organ and kV/mA table. The CO2
program is put to the “Thorax” key for adjustment. Switch back to the normal
settings after adjustment by selecting “Thorax” in the combo box.
DSA The Ziehm C-arm is prepared for the adjustment of the DSA program. You can
load default settings for the corresponding organ and kV/mA table. The DSA
program is put to the Thorax key for adjustment. Switch back to the normal set-
tings after adjustment by selecting “Thorax” in the combo box.
In the area for dose adjustment you can adjust the AGC values and the settings for the CCD iris.
You can use the slider, the +/- keys or the edit field. Please note that any entries in the edit field
become effective only after you move away the cursor (e.g. with the tab key).
The Ziehm C-arm uses different values for these parameters depending on the state of the func-
tions “Magnifier” and “Half Dose”. The entered values are always used for the current state which
is displayed in the status line. Additionally you can select the settings for the measurement area
black, white and the control mode in the combo boxes.
In the area video adjustment, you set the parameters for white value, black value and the second
black value (when the “METAL” key is pressed). As above, you can also use slider, +/- keys or
edit field to make your settings.
Any changes that you make on this tab are sent to the Ziehm C-arm and become effective imme-
diately. To store the data in the permanent memory (EEPROM) press the “Store” key. Otherwise
the data will be overwritten after the next change of the organ program. When you press the “Store
Protocol” button, an entry in the adjustment protocol is created, if you have chosen to use a pro-
tocol with the “Settings\Protocol adjustment” menu item.
Please note that you cannot change some values in the standard edition of the Studio Software.
The corresponding fields are dimmed.
On this tab, you can change the generator settings. Limit values and parameters for the iris, set-
tings for the D/A converter and time for the signal horn can be set.
The “Update” tab is used to update the CAN module software, to download machine data to a stor-
age medium and to restore machine data.
− “New software version”: Combo box for selecting the software version to be programmed.
− “Module”: Checked boxes indicate the modules that will be programmed. Modules which
require an update are determined by comparing the release dates on the “General” tab. If
release dates are not the same for all modules (except U517), the warning E35 will be dis-
played.
For a complete update, all modules have to be checked. Only modules detected in the boot-
up phase will be displayed. For programming missing modules use “Program module...”.
− “Current Version” indicates the currently installed module version. The information will dis-
appear when programming of the respective module has started.
− “Read data” downloads the machine data to the selected machine data directory.
− “Select data file” allows to select and restore machine data from a storage medium (HD,
FD, CD, ....).
− “Program” will start the automatic programming procedure.
− “Verify program” will compare the installed software to the software files of the Exposcop
Studio.
− “Write data” will restore machine data files to the C-arm.
− “Progress” indicates the programming progress. The upper bar indicates the complete pro-
cedure, the lower bar indicates the current step.
− “Current data files” indicates the machine data folder which is currently used.
The picture shows the proceeding of the software update.
After a software update the machine parameters have to be reloaded into the Ziehm C-arm.
Therefore it is required to specify the desired machine data files before the update. These files will
be administered according to the following rules:
− When you press the “Select data file” button, you specify a set of machine data files (.mad
and .org) that you want to use. A temporary copy will be made of these files.
− When you press the “Read data” button, the machine data will be read out of the Ziehm C-
arm. The directory where they will be stored is specified under the “Settings\Machine data
directory ...” menu item. The file names will be created from the serial number of the Ziehm
C-arm and the extensions .mad (for machine data) and .org (for organ data).
Once this data is known in the Studio Software, the buttons “Program” and “Write data” are
enabled. With the “Program” button you start the programming procedure. This will perform all the
necessary steps for the software update:
− The machine data are converted to fit the desired software version. This means that for new
machine data default values will be given and the current machine data will be transformed
in the format of the new version. Should this conversion be not possible, the programming
will be cancelled in this place before data in the Ziehm C-arm will be changed.
− The software will be written to the EEPROM memories of the Ziehm C-arm modules. Only
those modules that are checked in the list of modules on the right, will be programmed.
However you should always program all modules to avoid compatibility problems.
− The Ziehm C-arm will be reset, so that the modules are synchronized. Because the
machine data are not yet loaded by this time, various error messages might be displayed
which can be ignored.
− The machine data that had been converted in the first step are transmitted back to the
Ziehm C-arm. Depending on the old and new software version another reset of the Ziehm
C-arm might be necessary. Eventually perform this reset by switching the device off and on.
Please note that the programming procedure can take more than 30 minutes. Cancelling the pro-
gramming usually leaves the Ziehm C-arm not functional so that you have to repeat the program-
ming before you can put it into operation.
NOTICE
Laptop must not run on battery while programming.
On the “Options” tab, you can set the device options of the Ziehm C-arm. Device options are the
option bits for releasing or modification of detail functions and the hand and foot switch assign-
ment.
With the option bits certain functions of the Ziehm C-arm can be enabled or modified. Currently
bit groups 0, 1, 2 and 3 are in use. With a click on one of the radio buttons you can select the
corresponding group. With a mouse click in the check box you can set or clear the corresponding
option bit. The changes become effective immediately. The options have the following meaning.

screen monitors. This affects the image orientation.
Block radiation on DAP overflow Disables next radiation release if measuring range is
exceeded. Press “>0<min” button to reset.
By pressing a hand or foot switch various functions can be performed. The functions can be
assigned according to the customer’s preferences. With the radio buttons you can select the hand
or foot switch whose assignment you want to change. In the combo box the possible functions are
selected.
For the Ziehm 8000 and Ziehm Vista C-arms, it is also possible to assign a tip and a hold function
to the same switch. The tip function is executed if the user presses the switch only for a short time,
the hold function is executed on a longer key press. In the dialog you can enter the time in msec,
up to which a key press will be recognized as tip.
For the Ziehm 7000 C-arm, the foot switch function must be enabled by entering a magic number.
Ask your sales partner for such a function.
The selected options are sent to the Ziehm C-arm with the “Send Switch” function.
NOTE
No switch function means:
screen in the selected mode
Fluoroscopy means:
do only fluoroscopy (no snapshot or pulse mode will be possible with this
switch)
On this tab, you can set the startup configuration for the Ziehm C-arm. The Ziehm C-arm has 6
different startup configurations from which you can select the current one in the combo box.
The configurations 1 to 5 are user-defined, configuration 0 contains the factory presets. For the
configurations 1 to 5 you can set the parameters that become active after power-up: Operating
mode, organ program, key functions, kV and radiography time.
The configuration that you select in the combo box will be the next startup configuration.
This tab shows the kV/mA characteristics of the generator. The table for the current organ pro-
gram is displayed graphically and in table form.
The red curve indicates the tube current in mA.
The green curve indicates the tube rating in W.
This tab is used for displaying, resetting and storing the error log of the Ziehm C-arm. In this log
error messages are stored with date and time of occurrence. A list of error and warning messages
can be found in this service manual.
Up to 50 errors will be stored to this log file. The oldest error will be deleted if the log is full (FIFO).
When you press the “Update” button, the log will be downloaded again in order to receive mes-
sages that have appeared after Exposcop Studio has been started.
On this tab, you can make various time settings. You can see the real time clock of the Ziehm C-
arm and the time of your service PC. With the “Set” button, you can set the real time clock to the
clock of your PC. You can also set the time limit for the laser beam and check the radiation time
of the Ziehm C-arm.
On the DAP tab you can adjust the VacuDAP 2002 dose area product meter, or the VacuDAP duo
air kerma and dose area product meter.
The meaning of the various parameters can be found in the manual of the measurement instru-
ment.
The CAN tab allows to “ping” CAN modules and to display the acknowledge (answer of the mod-
ule).
− “Module”: Marked boxes indicate the modules that will be pinged. Only modules detected
in the bootup phase will be displayed
− “Result” indicates the result of the “Ping”:
− “Ok”: the ping was successful, the pinged module has returned an acknowledge.
− “Timeout”: the ping was not successful, the pinged module has not returned an acknowl-
edge within a specified time window.
− “Ping” sends the ping to the selected modules.
− “Ack” clears the messages in the result fields.
If a module fails after Exposcop Studio was started, a timeout on the corresponding module will
be displayed. This can be used to identify a faulty module that causes the C-arm to lock up.
Modules which have been missing during bootup will not be shown.
The U517 will always give Nack. because its controller (HC08) behaves different to the U300.
After installation you will find the folder “Exposcop Studio” in your program directory.
1 Connect your notebook computer to the C-arm and start the Exposcop Studio.
2 Create a folder for the machine data. Name it e.g. by the serial number of the unit.
3 Select this folder by the menu “Settings” > “Machine data directory”.
4 Select the software version you want to install.
5 All Modules which are marked automatically.
6 Press “Read data”
7 Press “Program”
8 An automatic programming procedure is started.
• All selected modules are programmed and verified.
• The system is reset automatically
• Machine data is transferred.
• The system is reset automatically.
• A message box “Programming and machine data transfer from the current files success-
ful” appears.
• Press “OK”.
9 Programming is finished.
In offline mode you create floppy disks for updating the Ziehm C-arm or for assigning the foot
switches without a direct CAN bus connection to the device. Because the Studio Software cannot
read the data from the device, you first need to provide some information about the Ziehm C-arm
for which you create the floppy disks.
Enter the type of the Ziehm C-arm (Ziehm 7000 or Ziehm 8000 and Ziehm Vista) and the serial
number of the mobile stand. In the following dialog box you can choose if you want to create floppy
disks for a software update or for changing the foot switch assignment. (Floppy disks for changing
the foot switch assignment can be created only for the Ziehm 8000 and Ziehm Vista.)
NOTE
Programming only will work on a PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98 or older using
the PARCAN adapter.
To prepare floppy disks for the software update, select the desired software version. If there is any
data in your machine data directory for this machine, you can start immediately with the creation
of the floppy disks, otherwise the “Create” button is disabled (dimmed) and you must select the
data files first.
During the creation the software will generate two subdirectories called “Old” and “New” in your
directory for the disk images. “New” contains the files for the update. Copy these files (e.g. using
the Windows® Explorer) to a floppy disk. To perform the update, connect a PC via a PARCAN
adapter to the Ziehm C-arm, insert this floppy disk into the PC and start the update procedure with
the command a:\prog. During the update the machine data which have been fitted to the software
version will be transmitted, too.
In the “Old” subdirectory, you will find a disk image to undo the update process. Execute the undo
exactly like the update, i.e. copy the files on to a floppy disk and start prog.bat from this floppy disk
on the PC which is connected to the Ziehm C-arm via PARCAN.
For the Ziehm 8000 and Ziehm Vista you can create a floppy disk set to change the hand and foot
switch assignment. Since these floppy disks are used with the HEDIS, you have to enter its serial
number. The setting of the assignments done the same way as in the online mode.
During the creation a subdirectory called “Switch” will be generated in the directory for disk
images. Copy the files from this directory to a floppy disk (e.g. using the Windows® Explorer). You
can transfer the switch assignment into the Ziehm C-arm via the floppy disk drive of the monitor
cart.

Dose adjustment has to be performed prior to the video adjustment. The adjustment of dose is
performed with 25 mm Al + 1.5 copper put onto the generator. The dose is measured in front of
the image intensifier grid. The dose values have to be taken from the dose table. You can adjust
dose with the following parameters:
− Iris collimator
− This value influences the actual Iris CCD collimator.
A smaller value leads to a higher dose and vice versa.
− AGC
− This value influences the internal gain of the CCD camera
− Increasing the value will increase the dose.
− Half Dose:
Dose has to be adjusted at full dose first. By activating half dose, the iris collimator value is
blocked. Half dose value adjustment is only done by changing “AGC half dose” value
− Snapshot:
Snapshot is a modifier to each application program and is adjusted via “Iris collimator snap-
shot”. Measure the accumulated dose for one shot. Do not measure the first shot, make sure
that regulation has found its target before. Dose has to be below 2uG.
− Black level:
− influences the black level of the video signal.
− increasing the value will increase the black level.
− White level:
− influences the white level of the video signal.
− increasing the value will increase the white level.
− 2. Black level:
− sets up a second black level if metal key is selected.
− increasing the value will increase the second black level.
• Put the grey step wedge into the optical path so that both angles of the grey step wedge (black)
just contact the upper mask circle:
Fig. 19-1 Grey Step Wedge 11 cm: (M2 with 23cm II) small, about 10 cm to II

• White level is adjusted in all organ programs to full range without clipping.
Exception: In Extremities and Pelvis/Spine mode it is set like indicated in the organ table.
• Adjust video Metal level. Therefore take a proper reference image without metal in each organ
program. After getting metal in and pressing the metal switch there should be no difference
within the bone grayscale values of the image with and without metal.

Change U325
remove camera and check Image Intensifier output window. (should light up
while screening. Do this test in manual mode at low kV)
Check i.i. power supply.
Check camera (Using a oscilloscope connected by a T-connector)
WARNING
Tests partly have to be done while screening.
Take care for radiation protection.
CAUTION
The filling has to be done very carefully, otherwise an immaculate function is not
ensured. If it is not done correctly, the pump might be damaged and the desired
radiation time is not achieved.
21.1.1.1 General
Switch off the unit. Turn the rotor of the pump manually. The rotor has to rotate smoothly. If the
rotor rotates very sluggish and is snapping between positions, the pump wheel inside is stuck. The
pump has to be exchanged.

Ventilation valve
CAUTION
Do not forget to reconnect the 2-pin connector after testing.
• Connect hoses and flow monitor like indicated in the drawing above.
• Start the coolant pump manually.
• Now the pump is pushing coolant into the loop to the generator and back. Thereby the air
inside this loop is pushed into the tank.
• Let the pump run until all air bubbles in the flow monitor have disappeared and the flow
monitor runs constantly.
• If there is no circulation, check if the hoses to and from the generator are bent some-
where.
• Circulation without generator should have been checked in the former step.
• Remove the flow monitor and reconnect the hose from the generator to coupling 2.0.
• Repeat step “Filling the tank with coolant” auf Seite 6 until coolant runs out of the spill hose
again
• Active cooling system is initiated now.
If the unit is shipped and there is danger of frost, the cooling system has to be drained.
22 Maintenance Schedule
22.1 General requirements
WARNING
Maintenance of this system must be carried out by trained personnel only.
Some checks may only be performed by authorized service engineers. Those
checks are marked accordingly.
USA only:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that the checks and inspections described in
the related document “CDRH Maintenance Report” be performed at least every six months, in
order to ensure that the X-ray system complies with federal regulations (specifically, the applica-
ble sections of CFR 21, Subchapter J – Radiological Health).
The equipment owner is responsible for ensuring that the maintenance steps described in the said
document are performed every six months. Failure to comply with this requirement relieves the
Manufacturer and his agents of all responsibility in this matter.
The equipment owner is furthermore responsible for ensuring that only service engineers certified
by the manufacturer perform the tests and adjustments described in the above document.
Service engineers are responsible for performing the procedure in the sequence shown in the
“CDRH Maintenance Report”.
