Section 1-4
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
1-4-1What is EMC?
Electromagnetic compatibility describes a level of performance of a device within its
electromagnetic environment. This environment consists of the device itself and its surroundings
including other equipment, power sources and persons with which the device must interface.
Inadequate compatibility results when a susceptible device fails to perform as intended due
interference from its environment or when the device produces unacceptable levels of emission to
its environment. This interference is often referred to as radio–frequency or electromagnetic
interference (RFI/EMI) and can be radiated through space or co nducted over interconnecting power
of signal cables.
In addition to electromagnetic energy, EMC also includes possible effects from electrical fields,
magnetic fields, electrostatic discharge and disturbances in the electrical power supply.
1-4-2Compliance
Vivid 5 conforms to all applicable conducted and radiated emission limits and to immunity from
electrostatic discharge, radiated and conducted RF fields, magne tic fields and power li ne transient
requirements.
Applicable standards are: 47CFR Part 18, IEC60601–1–2:2001.
Note:For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws, shielding, gaskets, mesh, clamps,
are in good condition, installed tightly without skew or stress . Proper installati on followin g
all comments noted in this service manual is required in order to achieve full EMC
performance.

Purpose of Chapter
This chapter provides the information required to plan and prepare for th e installation of a VIVID 5.
Included are descriptions of the facility and electrical needs to be met by the purchaser of the unit.
A checklist is also provided at the end of this chapter to help determin e whether the proper planning
and preparation is accomplished before the actual equipment installation is scheduled.
Section 2-2
General Information
2-2-1Time and Manpower Requirements
Site preparation takes time. Begin Pre installation checks as soon as possible, if possible, six weeks
before delivery, to allow enough time to make any changes.
CAUTIONHave two people available to deliver and unpack the VIVID 5.
Attempts to move the unit considerable distances or on an incline by one person could

2-2-3EMI Limitations
Ultrasound machines are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from radio frequencies,
magnetic fields, and transients in the air or wiring. They also generate EMI. Th e VIVID 5 complies
with limits as stated on the EMC label. However there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
Possible EMI sources should be identified before the unit is insta lle d.
Electrical and electronic equipment may produce EMI unintentionally as the result of a defect.
These sources include:
•medical lasers,
•scanners,
•cauterizing guns,
•computers,
•monitors,
•fans,
•gel warmers,
•microwave ovens,
•light dimmers
•portable phones.
The presence of a broadcast station or broadcast van may also cause interference.
See the table on page 2-3 for EMI Prevention tips.

.
EMI RuleDetails
Be aware of RF
sources
Keep the unit at least 5 meters or 15 feet away from other EMI sources.
Special shielding may be required to eliminate interference problems
caused by high frequency, high powered radio or video broadcast
signals.
Ground the unitPoor grounding is the most likely reason a unit will have noisy images.
Check grounding of the power cord and power outlet.
Replace all screws,
RF gaskets, covers,
cores
After you finish repairing or updating the system, replace all covers and
tighten all screws. Any cable with an external connection requires a
magnet wrap at each end. Install the shield over the front of card cage.
Loose or missing covers or RF gaskets allow radio frequencies to
interfere with the ultrasound signals.
Replace broken RF
gaskets
If more than 20% or a pair of the fingers on an RF gasket are broken,
replace the gasket. Do not turn on the unit until any loose metallic part is
removed.
Do not place labels
where RF gaskets
touch metal
Use GE specified
harnesses and
peripherals
Take care with
cellular phones
Never place a label where RF gaskets meet the unit. Otherwise, the gap
created will permit RF leakage. Or, if a label has been found in such a
position, move the label.
The interconnect cables are grounded and require ferrite b eads and other
shielding. Also, cable length, material, and routing are all important; do
not change from what is specified.
Cellular phones may transmit a 5 V/m signal; that could cause image
artifacts.
Properly dress
peripheral cables
Do not allow cables to lie across the top of the card cage or hang out of
the peripheral bays. Loop the excess length for peripheral cables inside
the peripheral bays. Attach the monitor cables to the frame.

connections between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrati ons, and test ing must also be
performed by qualified personnel.
The products involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are highly
sophisticated and special engineering competence is required. All electrical work on these
products must comply with the requirements of applicable electrical codes. The purchas er
of GE equipment must only utilize qualified pe rsonnel to perform electrica l servicing on the
equipment.
The desire to use a non–listed or customer provided product or to place an approved product further
from the system than the interface kit allows presents challenges to the installation team. To avoid
delays during installation, such variances should be made known to the individuals or group
performing the installation at the earliest possible date (preferably prior to the purchase).
The ultrasound suite must be clean prior to delivery of the machine. Carpet is not recommended
because it collects dust and creates static. Potential sources of EMI (electromagnetic interference)
should also be investigated before delivery. Dirt, static, and EMI can negatively impact system
reliability.

Power System
There are four types of power supplies in VIVID 5:
•AC Power Supply
•DC Power Supply
•3.3V DC/DC Converter
•High Voltage Power Supply (also listed under "Front End (FE) Boards" on page 5-4)
5-4-1AC Power Supply with ON/OFF Control
The mains power cable is fed to a combined on/off switch and circuit breaker located in the back of
the system, in the AC Power Assembly.
From the circuit breaker, the mains is fed through an isolatio n transformer to the AC Controller
Board. This board provides stand-by power for the power-switch in the front of the system and for
e.g. a VCR’s tape counter.
When pressing the stand-by power-switch, a power-off routine is started. Upon completion of this,
the CPU returns a grant signal to the AC Controller which shuts off the relay for the power to the
rack, monitor and peripherals (excluding the VCR).
Each outlet to internal peripherals is filtered.
The AC Controller also controls the speed of the fans. It senses the air temperature above the card
rack, and adjusts the speed accordingly. If a high temperature reading occurs, maximum speed is
selected.
5-4-2AC Power Outlets
The Scanner has AC Power outlets for use by internal pheripherals only.

5-4-3DC Power
Filtered 230 VAC is fed to the DC power supply, which is a GE Vingmed specified supply, designed
and manufactured by Philips. The power supply has a modular design and provides the following
voltages:
Voltage [VDC]Nominal load [A]
+5(d) 120.0
+10 3.0
+12 4.0
-121.0
+154.0
-153.0
+5(a)15.0
-5(a)25.0
Table 5-1 DC Power output
+5V(d) [digital] and ground are fed from the Power Supply to the card cage’s backplane through
thick rails. The other voltages are routed via a DC Extension board which plugs into the
motherboard. The Front Panel and disks are po we re d via the internal I/O board. The voltages to
these devices are fed through recoverable PTC fu se s.
5-4-43.3V DC/DC Converter
This board converts the +5(d) 5VDC voltage to +3.3VDC. The 3.3 VDC voltage is distribute d via the
backplane to the RFT and BF Boards.

The high voltages HV1 and HV2 are fed to the transmitter on the TX board and to the PRC board.
The HV_MUX voltages are fed to the multiplexers located in the connector housing of the 19 2
element linear probes.
The two HV1 and HV2 supplies are controlled serially by the Front End Controller board, which also
surveils the voltage and current drawn. This is done for output power safety purposes.

Probe Element Test
In order to identify bad elements in probes and ba d tra n sm it/r eceive channels in the system
(verifying RLY/TX128/RX and BF), the following test procedure can be used:
1.) Put a little gel on the probe face, and slide the back of a scalpel (or an other object with a sharp
edge) across the elements, starting from element 1 (the LED side).
2.) As the scalpel is moved, watch the intensity of the echo in the 2D image. (At each end, the
intensity will gradually drop). Bad elements (or channels) will cause a drop in the intensity. The
problem might be the probe or a bad channel on one of the boards mentioned above.
3.) In order to distinguish between the probe and the system, try another probe. If you don’t have
another probe of the same type, you can use a different type together with the channel
mapping drawings shown in section 6-6. The map shows the routing from an element to a
channel and then to the BF board used. Thus, you should be able to tell if it is the probe, the
RLY/TX128/RX boards or the BF boards that are the problem. If one of the BF boards has a
failure, you can even determine which of the BF boards are bad.

Section 6-6
Element to Channel Mapping
6-6-1Introduction
This section shows the mapping between probe el ement numbers and system channel numbers for
the different types of probes. This information can be used for troubleshooting purposes. The 64
and 96 element probes exist in two channel mapping versions, here called old and new. The
purpose of changing to the new type is to be able to run these probes on a 64-channel system.

Figure 6-8 Mapping of 192 Element Probes to 128 Beam Former Channels
This mapping is true for:
•5.0 FLA-192, KN100003 all rev’s.
•7.5 FLA-192, KT100001 all rev’s.
•10 FLA-192, KW100001 all rev’s.
•3.5 CLA-192, KK100004 all rev’s.
•5.0 CLA-192, KN100008 all rev’s.
On a 192 element probe the 64 center elements are always routed to channels 65-128, while the
first 64 elements are multiplexed with the last 64 elements onto channels 1-64. Element 1 is
multiplexed with element 129, element 2 with 130 and so on.

ART NUMBER FB091565, REVISION 1 VIVID 5 SERVICE MANUAL
On 192 Element Probes:
•All channels are used.
•Both BF-64 boards are used.
6-6-2-1Troubleshooting Technique
One bad probe element (or e.g. one bad coax in the probe cable) will turn up as one point with less
intensity in the scalpel test.
One bad channel (RLY/TX/RX, among channels 65-128) will turn up as one point with less intensity
in the center part of the probe.
One bad channel (RLY, TX, RX, among channels 1-64) will turn up as two points with less intensity,
one point on each side of the center part.

Figure 6-9 Mapping of 128 Element Probes to 128 Beam Former Channels
This mapping is true for:
•5.0 FPA-128, KN100001 all revisions.
On a 128 element probe there is a one-to-one mapping between element numbers and channel
numbers.
•All channels are used.
•Both BF-64 boards are used.
A bad element or a bad channel will turn up at the same spot in the test.
