Inspection
Maintenance precautions
 The correct operation flow:

The start flow
Open UPS or Voltage stabilizer →Turn on
EDX3600 →Turn on the computer
The shutdown flow

Turn off the computer →Close the EDX3600
→Turn off the UPS or Voltage stabilizer
 Make sure you complete the process of preheat in
advance of a measurement.
 Make sure that you input the correct collimater with
right filters and confirm they are placed in the best
position before a test.
 For safety,do not put heavy articles on top of the
instrument.
 Do not run a test with the side cover open.
 Add in pump oil before you run the vacuum pump
 Keep the measurement chamber clean and
sealed.
 In the case of fuse replacement,always use
parts with the specified capacity.use of
improper parts may lead to accidents.
 Always check to assure that all the connector
are adequately inserted.
Warning
 Never ever poke sharp stick or anything
else into the detector window which is
significantly fragile.Any man-made
damage to the detector will be out of
guarantee for a free replacment.
 Loosening of a joint or screw while they are
hot may cause scorching.Make sure the
temperature is sufficiently low before
loosening them.
 When test liquid or powder,make sure that
the sample will not leak or penetrate into the
hardware.
 Make sure there is no intense magnetic or
electric interference around the instrument.
 Never pull out the power plug when the
instrument is running.

 Remarks 49
No spectrum or count rate display
The possible reasons for failure are as follows:
(1) High voltage is faulty.
(2) X - ray tube is faulty.
(3) MCA is faulty.
Check whether the Be window is broken or not
1st. check the connection with instrument and pc including the BIOS in pc mother
board.
Lpt or USB cable
BIOS parameter
2nd. Power supply box
Check the 12V, -12V, +5V , -5V and 24V
3rd. MCA
Check TB-9 terminal 3pin and 6pin. For example ,in the software voltage
40 ,current 600 ;the value in the multimeter should be 8DCV(3rdpin) and
6DCV(6thpin)respectively.
4th. High voltage box
Check the 2nd、3rd pins which indicates the current and
voltage .check the value when testing ,the voltage value should
be 1/5 of the value in the software , and current value should be
1/100 of that in the software .For example in the software
voltage 40 ,current 600 ;the value in the multimeter should be
8DCV and 6DCV
Meanwhile , we need to check the X-ray tube .Inspect if there

is oil leak from the tube at first hand,then test the filament
wire ,confirm the output of X-ray with the fluorecence paper
finally.
Peak drift
（1）Detector is faulty
（2）MCA is faulty
1st . Take a look at the indication light of MCA
2nd.Test the DB-9 value of the MCA.For example,when the volage ,
current value is 40,600 in software, the correct value in the multimeter
is 8DCV ,6DCV correspondingly. In addition, try to adjust the value in
the software,and test if there is corresponding change in the interface.
3rd. Check the detector . First of all, make sure the powersupply wire and
the signal cable is correctly installed,then test the value of the 5pin
powersupply faucet.Finally,you can judge from the spectrum . after
continuous testing several times , and open a reference spectrum ,
then check whether the spectrum drift compared to others
Count rate decreases while testing.
 The possible reasons for failure are as follows:

 (1) High voltage is discharging.
 (2) X - ray tube is discharging.
 The detection methods for failure are as follows:
 (1) Observe if there are unusual sparkles with high
voltage while testing. If there are unusual sparkles,
maybe the high voltage is discharging.
 (2) Check if there are unusual sparkles with X - ray
tube while testing. If yes , maybe the tube is
discharging.
The HV lamp is flickering during testing

 (1) Poor contact of the Near switch.
 (2) The Near switch is faulty.
 (1) Put a metal sheet onto the Near switch and
check if it is flickering while testing.
 (2) Put a metal sheet onto the Near switch and
check if the red lamp behind the Near switch is on.
Initialization can not complete
 The possible reason for failure is as follows:

 MCA is faulty.
 High voltage and x-ray tube is bad
 The detection method for failure is as follows:
 (1) Observe the countrate on the software ,if it is very low ,
maybe you can take the problem for no count rate and no
spectrum ,and then just refers to question 1.
 (2) if the count rate is normal , then just check the MCA
 Change another MCA or Chip
The shape of spectrum is abnormal
 The possible reasons for failure are as

follows:
 (1) Whether BIOS is set correctly.
 (2) MCA is faulty.
 (3) Detector is faulty.
The HV lamp is off while testing

 (1) High voltage is faulty.
 (2) Power supply box is faulty.
 You have to check whether the time runs or not , if
not run, you have to check whether the software is
compatible with the machine ,and make sure the
cable is connected correctly, then check the MCA .
 Check on the high voltage whether there is value or
not . if not , high voltage is faulty , if no problem with
high voltage, check the power supply box.
The time does not run
 (1) The cable is not connected tightly

 (2) The chip is loosing
 (3) The software is not compatible with the machine
 Check the software version, USB or LPT, make sure
it is compatible with the instrument .
 If it is ok , then next , check whether the cable
connected tightly
 If it still exists , check the MCA .
The time runs very slowly and seems
stopped but the HV lamp is on
 Check whether the collimator is right or

wrong . maybe the collimator is too large
 So change a small one firstly , if it is still very
slowly , check the high voltage , check the
value of voltage and current .
 If no problem in the high voltage , go on your
checking for the MCA
The instrument can not start
 The possible reasons for the malfunction are as follows:

 (1) The fuse has burnt.
 (2) Something wrong with the main switch of instrument.
 (1) Open the cover of fuse box at the back of instrument and
check whether the fuse is burnt or not.
 (2) Check whether the fuse is burnt or not , if not, maybe the
main switch of instrument is faulty.
 (3) If the fuse is burnt , change another one ; if it is burned
again , check whether the high voltage is short or not , if short ,
change another high voltage.
Remarks
 All the problems above will not come out alone ,so
once you meet a problem listed above, don't take it
as a single problem , you should take into account all
the possibility , for example , once the initialization
not completed ,according to the methods
above ,maybe it is because of MCA , but in a
meanwhile ,the countrate is very low ,nearly close to
0, so the reason why initialization failed is because
of low countrate , no count rate no spectrum ,hereby
you should refer to the question 1 and follow the
steps to check.
 Once it is low count rate (or no count rate and no spectrum)
maybe you think it is because of the high voltage and x-ray tube
according to question 1 .but in fact (take EDX2800 for example )
it is because of the wrong collimator , the collimator is chosen
automatically for EDX2800 ,but sometimes it is not chosen
rightly ,maybe the smallest one is chosen while we need the
largest one for testing, so the count rate is very low and the
hardware is no problem .
 So once you meet a problem above ,just follow the steps
above ,but if the problem you met is not listed above ,don't
worry ,take it easy ,just analyze the possibility step by step ,and
there will be no problem for you.
