Close the cap and repeat this procedure on every openable relay.
Open the frontal side of the big line contactor, inspect and clean the contacts: if seriously damaged
replace the contacts.

Dielectric oil inspection

Switch off the generator and open the rack.
Check oil level removing the black enclosure on the high voltage transformer.
Oilo level should be 1..1.5cm from the top, depending on oil temperature.
Sniff the oil to determinate if an acrid smell is inside the transformer.
Check with a visual inspection of the bottom of the cabinet to verify the absence of oil.
If oil is located outside of the transformer, check transformer to locate the point of origin.

Warning!
The presence in the inverters of the electrolytic capacitors of high capacity, each time the generator
is switched on without the side walls, are avoided the contacts, an appropriate distance is
maintained between the terminals of the capacitors and the own body, or any thing that is not
isolated is handling.
Before touching the terminals to make sure that the power is disconnected and there is no voltage
on the capacitors.
MAINTENANCE - FAULTS

Open the front panel;

Connect the service program and enter into diagnostics.
Check for alarms stored.

Radiological Parameters inspection

Make an initial exposure to 80 kV, 100 mA, 0,50s.,

26
No alarm should trigger in this situation.
To check the accuracy of radiographic parameters is necessary to verify that the calibration of these
tubes is correct, while the mA depend on the type of tube, and then the calibration of the data
HardWare SoftWare but also by the setting of the tube.
kV peak are independent the type of tube installed, the parameters to be checked are: kV peak, mA
average spelling, handwriting time, mAs.
As regards the kV is possible to calibrate the measured value, the same applies to the mA, the time
does not require calibration of any kind, being controlled by a quartz, the mAs must be corrected if
the mA are within tolerance.
The adjustments of the circuits HW measurement of kVp and mA are performed in the factory
during the final testing phase; the standard instrument used for this work is a tool produced by
INVASIVE RadCal Corp. and called Dynalyzer; it measures kVp, mA and time.
It is advisable, therefore, in the case in which is necessary a calibration of the part HW, to use this
type of tool or equivalent.
For the tests of accuracy and repeatability follow tables and following procedures:
Connect instruments for the measurement of kV and mA;
It should connect external devices to the generator for the measure, if it were not possible to connect
the oscilloscope to signal kV feedback on the Main Computer.
An usage misuse of these test points or the introduction of noise on this signal can lead to serious
consequences and a malfunction of the power circuit of the generator, mARadio on its test Point
depending on the desired rate.
It is clear that in this case it is only possible to control the waveforms of the X-ray parameters, it is
not possible to calibrate the channels HW relying on themselves, because it lacks the standard
instrument.
Turn on the generator and bring it into operational mode

ACCURACY TEST
An example of periodic tests is represented by the ratio of final testing issued with the generator.
Repeat exposures indicated in values and ways on the test report and verify that the results beds are
included in the range of acceptability for the parameters under consideration.
The deviation of the real parameters than the set must not be higher than 5% for kV and to 10% for
mA.
If they are experiencing considerable differences in kV, before retouching control potentiometer kV
contact the manufacturer.
If you are experiencing considerable differences in mA, before proceeding to a new setting, check
with the service program that the filaments are properly fed, the high voltage cables have pin heads
thoroughly clean and wide, and the tube filaments are turned on .

kV Accuracy
If the kV value is not within the limits given in the table you must make the appropriate settings on
the potentiometers and gain feedback on the card Computer Main.
MAINTENANCE - FAULTS

To adjust the value of real kV must act on the potentiometer, checking the answer through an
external kVoltmeter.
To adjust the value of kV read from the main computer and displayed on the cabinet, you must act
on the feedback potentiometer reading, looking at the real value of kV as per the previous point, and
the value read through the service program .

27
mA Accuracy
If the value of mA is not within the limits given in the table must be rebuilt calibrate the focus.
This is done through the service software.
If the uncalibrated issue is an interval inspect also the system remembering the way the geenrator
uses to measure and control the current, as described below:
There are three channels for the measurement of mA:
icl, channel fluoroscopy with high resolution and saturation channel 10mA
icm, channel X-ray with high resolution and saturation channel 150mA
ich, channel radiography with medium resolution and saturation channel to 1500mA

Exposure Time Accuracy

The tests are to confirm the accuracy of time measurement in fact there are no adjustments to be
done on this parameter, in case of doubt, verify that your instrument reference is used in the correct
manner, and marks the time to 75% of the value kVpk.

mAs Accuracy
Since the mAs are the product of mA and time, and being the time is not adjustable, the only
adjustment is that of the mA already seen previously.

CALIBRATION
Since the emission characteristics in terms of quality of the ionizing radiation degrades significantly
with the wear of the filaments of the X-ray tube, the emission curves of the generator should be re-
calibrated every year.
To do this, follow the instructions below in the description of the calibration process of the focuses
through the service program of the generator.

GENERATOR’S REGULATION LOOP
The logic diagram of adjustment is shown schematically in the figure below, in which the blocks
represent the logical division of the central and peripheral functions, control and power:
 Inverter interfacing with the line, where there are safety switches
 Three-phase bridge, capacitors, and inductors to power the DC-RAIL and allow the transfer

 Power Inverter
 High Voltage Transformer
 Distribution of power generator
 Main Computer and Automatic Control of Exposure
 Terminal general interfacing with the outside.
 Filament Inverter service power and drive anode

HIGH VOLTAGE REGULATION LOOP

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The regulation loop of kV is completely harware in a mixed analog/digital process, this means that
the uP does not directly enter into such an adjustment, what it knows is the real value of kV, and the
status of the generator thanks to digital signals that arrive from the inverter.
When it is requesting the issuance of ionizing radiation predisposes the main computer peripheral
signals to put the tube in a position to deliver the desired parameters (Control Safeties, rotating
anode drive, pre-ignition Fire selected.

34
Then prepares the signals that enable the inverter oscillation [NONx], then checks that the feedback
signal of the presence of voltage on the inverter is active [IPW] and the signal showing the state of
balance of the branches of the bridge is active [IUB].
Is then set to the reference value of kV, analog signal (OKV +).
The activation of the inverter start signals initiates the charging of high voltage capacitors inside the
High Voltage transformer.
Such charging is limited in current by a ramp of about one millisecond, the Start inverter to the
point of exceeding the 75% of the set voltage.
Here is a digital signal generator of the presence of the High Voltage [IRM].
From here microprocessor start counting the length of time of irradiation

HIGH VOLTAGE CURRENT REGULATION LOOP

The regulation loop of mA is completely controlled by the main computer through the modulation
ignition of the filament chosen, this means that in every moment of the issue, intermittent or
continuous, the computer knows the value of emission mA.
The main computer controls the emission value by changing the value of lighting the filament, if the
issue is in the range of acceptance of the parameters, otherwise generates error interrupting the
issue.
Therefore, the magnitudes involved in this control are:
• measurement circuit (ich), high current handwriting, (icm), current media
handwriting, and (IFL), current fluoroscopy; This signal is taken from the high
voltage transformer and led to the analog section of the main computer, here is
measured by a circuit and amplified (ich): 10 Vdc = 1500 mA; (Icm): 10 Vdc = 150
mA; (Icl): 10V = 10mA)
• The circuit generates the DAC reference to lighting the fire selected to the inverter
power filaments
• The inverter board ignition filaments that through the transformers of the filament,
isolated, produces ring closed, the current necessary for the correct emission.
To know the characteristic of emission of a tube, uP needs the CALIBRATION TUBE, in this
manner can calculate the value at which the filament must turn on for the pair kV-mA chosen by the
operator, for from issuance correct.
The uP needs this value only for the departure rays and this value should be as close as possible to
the value of mA chosen, after a few usecondi departure from the uP begins to read the mA emission
and consequently adjust the ignition.
If the value of mA ignition was too far away from the chosen one (25% for the low values, 12.5%
for high values), the main computer stops the spelling and sounds the alarm, because it decided that
it was no longer possible to adjust get the correct value of the issue and then get a good risultato.ù
You can have this warning for two reasons:
• tube uncalibrated
• incorrect reading of the mA output, something is not working in the loop
measurement mA or lighting adjustments
