2- Checks
To prevent unnecessary problems in the future, perform the following set of checks as part of the recommended maintenance as indicated in the User Manual.
WARNING
Failure to perform these checks may result in a system that fails to comply with U.S. Radiation Performance Standards 21 CFR Subchapter J.
CAUTION
To avoid any potential hazard to operators or patients, any unusual operation, problems with mechanical functions, or presence of debris, should be reported to Gendex immediately.
If problems persist, advise the owner NOT TO USE THE SYSTEM.

System Functions
WARNING
Before starting any procedure, review the safety information provided in the Gendex expert® DC User Manual.
If problems are found, refer to the appropriate section in this Service Manual for:
•Adjustment procedures for the Horizontal Arm, Articulated Arm, and Tubehead (page 3-1)
•Maintenance procedure for the Articulated Arm (page 3-11)
•Troubleshooting information (page 5-1)
•Electrical block diagrams (page 5-20).
IMPORTANT! Contact GENDEX Technical Support if additional information is required.
____ 1. Tubehead - Check for oil leaks or other evidence that could indicate internal damage. Replace the Tubehead if necessary.
____ 2. Tubehead Rotation - Ensure that the Tubehead maintains its position around the horizontal axis while remaining easy to rotate and position. For horizontal dropping, refer to page 3-2 for the procedure.
Also check for unwanted pivoting of the Tubehead around the vertical axis. Problems with vertical pivot are typically caused when the Horizontal Arm is not properly leveled although the problem can simply be caused when the cabling inside the Tubehead Yoke is too tight.
____ 3. Mounting - Be sure that the wall support is adequate and that the system is properly mounted to the wall.
____ 4. Power Switch - Verify that the switch is working properly and that the Ready Indicator Lamp is illuminated when the power switch is in the ON position.

____ 5. Master Controls - With the power switch in the ON position, verify that a Time Selection value indicates on the Master Control Touch Panel display.
Also check the function of the selector switches for the Anatomical Time Selection, Imaging Type Selection and Patient Selection. Pressing the selection buttons should cause indicator lamps to indicate the selected item.
____ 6. Quickset Tubehead Control - Verify that the indicator lamps are consistent with the Master Control selections. Verify that the selector button works properly.
____ 7. Push-button exposure switch - Verify that the push-button switch in the face of the operator controls is functioning properly.
____ 8. Coil-cord exposure switch - If the coil-cord switch is used, inspect the switch housing and coiled cord for damage or wear. Replace if there is evidence of damage present.
____ 9. Exposure Indicators - Make several exposures and verify that the Radiation Indicator Lamp illuminates and the audible signal is heard.
____ 10. Premature Termination - Select an exposure of 2 seconds using the manual adjustment buttons. Initiate an exposure, but release the exposure switch after a brief period of time before the timer terminates the exposure. Verify that exposure terminates immediately upon release of the exposure switch.
____ 11. X-ray Beam Size - Position the cone of the Tubehead directly onto a panoramic film or several occlusal films taped together to form a large rectangle. Process the film and verify that the resulting image is containable in a 6 cm circle.
____ 12. Check that the arms are evenly balanced and that all movements are smooth and quiet. Verify that the Horizontal and Articulated Arms do not drift.

3- Adjustments and Maintenance
Procedures include adjustments for the:
•Tubehead (page 3-2)
•Horizontal Arm (page 3-2)
•Articulated Arm (page 3-5)
Procedures include maintenance for the Articulated Arm (page 3-11).
Preliminary Information
The balance of the Articulated Arm is initially set at the factory. Other friction and drift adjustments are set during the installation process.
Adjustments provided in this document are to accommodate customer preferences or changes in the leveling of the system due to age.
Note! The mechanical adjustments should not be used to compensate for a system that is not properly leveled on the wall.
Before making any adjustments, first verify that the unit is properly leveled on the wall; then make adjustments as necessary.
WARNING
Before starting any procedure, review the safety information provided in the Gendex expert® DC User Manual.

Tubehead - Horizontal Drifting
Adjustments
Tubehead - Horizontal Drifting
The Tubehead will drift from the correct horizontal position if the four hex locking nuts are not adjusted properly. This can happen when the supplied 8" (20 cm) cone is replaced with the longer, heavier 12" (30 cm) cone.
Note! The adjustment of the four hex locking nuts does not lock the Tubehead in place but provides proper friction to allow the Tubehead to be rotated and then to remain in the position to which it has been rotated.
Tools Required: |
2.5 mm Allen Wrench |
4.5mm Hex Wrench
1.Turn OFF the power switch.
2.Disconnect the external power source:
–FOR A SYSTEM WITH A LINE CORD (120 V ac only), unplug the line cord.
–FOR A HARD-WIRED SYSTEM, disconnect the mains supply (external power source) and use a meter to verify the mains supply is disconnected.
3.Unscrew the two screws on the Tubehead Yoke Cover Plate, using a
2.5mm Allen wrench and remove the cover plate from the underside of the Tubehead yoke. (It may be necessary to position a thin screwdriver at the base and gently pry off the cover.)

4.Tighten the locking nuts:
a.Rotate the Tubehead to its maximum position (until it stops).
b.Locate the first hex locking nut, and tighten it with the 4.5 mm hex wrench.
Figure 3-2 Two of the Four Hex Locking Nuts
c.Rotate the Tubehead until you see the next hex locking nut. Tighten the nut.
d.Repeat step c. for the remaining two hex nuts.
Note! Tighten all four hex nuts equally, to apply adequate friction to prevent drifting.
5.Reposition the cover plate and snap it into place. Screw in the two screws that secure the cover plate.
6.Restore power to the equipment:
–FOR A SYSTEM WITH A LINE CORD (120 V ac only), plug in the line cord.
–FOR A HARD-WIRED SYSTEM, reconnect the mains supply (external power source) and use a meter to verify the mains supply is connected properly.
7.Turn ON the power switch.
