IMPORTANT! . . . X-RAY PROTECTION
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein contained
should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to
place this equipment in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad to
assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the useful beam, no
practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to
take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to
radiation.
It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully acquainted with the
recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports
available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the
International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, its agents,
and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be used. United States
Federal law restricts this device to use by or on the order of a physician.
CERTIFIED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR STATEMENT
All electrical installations that are preliminary to positioning of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment shall be
performed by licensed electrical contractors. In addition, electrical feeds into the Power Distribution Unit shall be performed
by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing shall
be performed by qualified GE Medical personnel. The products involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are
highly sophisticated, and special engineering competence is required. In performing all electrical work on these products,
GE will use its own specially trained field engineers. All of GE’s electrical work on these products will comply with the
requirements of the applicable electrical codes.
The purchaser of GE equipment shall only utilize qualified personnel (i.e., GE’s field engineers, personnel of third-party
service companies with equivalent training, or licensed electricians) to perform electrical servicing on the equipment.
DAMAGE IN TRANSPORTATION
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is apparent, have notation “damage in
shipment” written on all copies of the freight or express bill before delivery is accepted or “signed for” by a General
Electric representative or a hospital receiving agent. Whether noted or concealed, damage MUST be reported to the
carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event, within 14 days after receipt, and the contents and containers held
for inspection by the carrier. A transportation company will not pay a claim for damage if an inspection is not requested
within this 14 day period.
Call Traffic and Transportation, Milwaukee, WI (414) 827–3468 / 8*285–3468 immediately after damage is found. At
this time be ready to supply name of carrier, delivery date, consignee name, freight or express bill number, item
damaged and extent of damage.

3-1 Introduction
Configuring the Revolution XQ/i to communicate with various network devices on the hospital network is
accomplished through three configuration menus available on the Main (local) Browser Tools menu.
These three menu selections essentially allow you to configure remote host destinations that the
Revolution XQ/i System will “push” images to. These menu selections are:
– Network Management (Workstations, Archival Devices, or combinations – PACS)
– Worklist Management (HIS/RIS Systems)
– Printer Management
3-2 Basic Network Requirements
DIRECTION 2216876–100
The Revolution XQ/i System requires that the hospital network must:
– Have a cabling definition that is either 10BaseT or 100BaseT, and
– Be using the DICOM 3.0 Network Protocol
In addition, all the network devices that the Revolution XQ/i will be communicating with on the hospital
network system must be DICOM 3.0 Protocol compliant devices. Each device must have a DICOM 3.0
Conformance Statement document that states:
– What DICOM 3.0 function or service (Application Entity) the device provides (Server, Storage,
Query/Retrieve, Print, Worklist)
– The Application Entity Title of each of the DICOM 3.0 services that the device provides, and
– The Local Listening Port Number for each of the DICOM 3.0 services that the device provides

3-3 DX Burn on Send / No–Burn Configuration
The ADS shall have the ability to configure the system in NO BURN or BURN ON SEND mode on a per
network–host basis. Whether a host can be configured as NO BURN or BURN ON SEND depends on if
the host can accept DICOM DX IOD images with VOI LUT support or not.
– If the host accepts DICOM DX images with VOI LUT support, configure the host as NO BURN.
– Otherwise configure the host as BURN ON SEND.

3-9 Configure Revolution XQ/i on Hospital DICOM 3.0 Network Devices
To ensure proper network operation, you may need to declare the Revolution XQ/i system on the devices
that the Revolution XQ/i system is communicating with. The following steps are to configure the remote
hosts connected to the Revolution XQ/i system and are performed on the remote hosts, not on the
Revolution XQ/i system.
For example:
If the hospital wants to “push” images to the Revolution XQ/i system from a Review Station, you will need
to configure the Review Station with the Revolution XQ/i system network configuration parameters.
HIS/RIS Systems & Brokers (Revolution serves as a Worklist receiver)
Note: In this configuration, the Revolution XQ/i system communicates with the HIS/RIS broker to receive the list of
scheduled procedures (Worklist).
1. In the network configuration set–up for the device sending the hospital worklist information to the
Revolution XQ/i system, enter the following parameter information:
> Network Protocol of the Revolution XQ/i = DICOM 3.0
> Hostname (provided by the hospital network administrator)
> IP Address (provided by the hospital network administrator)
> Application Entity Title of the Revolution XQ/i = WL_<Hostname>
> Scheduled Station Application Entity Title (provided by the hospital radiology department
administrator)
> Port Number of the Revolution XQ/i = 4006
For systems that do not support DX type modality, see Section 3-10.
Remote Host Devices (Revolution serves as a DICOM image receiver)
Note: In this configuration, the Revolution XQ/i system receives images from remote host(s), using DICOM proto-
col.
2. In the network configuration set–up for the device(s) sending images to the Revolution XQ/i system,
enter the following parameter information:
> Network Protocol of the Revolution XQ/i = DICOM 3.0
> Hostname (provided by the hospital network administrator)
> IP Address (provided by the hospital network administrator)
> Application Entity Title of the Revolution XQ/i = <Hostname>
> Port Number of the Revolution XQ/i = 4006

The SunBlade 150 workstation also contains an internal CDROM drive. However, this drive is both read
and write capable. Therefore, there is no need for an external ’CD–R Writer’ option for the SunBlade 150
workstation.

– CD–R Writer drive SCSI data cable is connected from the CD–R Writer to the AWS SCSI port.
– CD–R Writer power cord is connected from the CD–R Writer to the AWS power strip.
– CD–R Writer SCSI Bus ID is set to 2 (switch is located on back of CD–R Writer).
– CD–R Writer Power Switch is ON.
– CD–R Writer KEYNUMBER is available.
> This must already be on–hand.
> It is obtained from the OnLine Center after providing them with the system hostid.

Avoid Customer dissatisfaction with Image Quality!
Ensure that the ambient light around the monitor is less than 50 lux. If the ambient light is
greater than 50 lux, the image quality on the monitor display cannot be guaranteed. If this test
demonstrates that a level of greater than 50 lux for the ambient light around the monitor, inform
the customer of this condition.
In addition, monitor screen luminance cannot exceed 275 Cd/m2 (80 fL) without loss of
resolution!

NOTICE:
Avoid Printer Black Level Registration Errors!
Dry Thermal Printers (ie: Agfa Drystar 3000,
Sterling Contact 400) are inherently slow to
react to changes from black to white. This will
be apparent when measuring the 24th step in
each pattern (the right pattern 24th step will
have a greater optical density value than the
left pattern 24th step).
To avoid entering a low value for Black in the
Printer Calibration routine, always use the pattern that provides the greatest OD range from
Black to White.
Using Densitometer, measure the 1st
A
and 24th steps of both 24 step patterns
on each side of the film. Compare Optical
Density range (Black to White) on each
side of printed image.
Use the side that has the greatest

1. After system power is applied, verify that the conditioner and DSA also power on. (Verify Conditioner
Power Switch is ON.) Wait for it to start pumping (approximately 5 seconds). Then as the fluid level
in the reservoir starts to go down, pour in additional coolant, at a rate that maintains a nearly full
reservoir.

Note: Do not add liquid too quickly or the reservoir will overflow.
2. Continue to pour in the coolant until the fluid level in the reservoir no longer goes down.
3. Allow the conditioners to continue pumping and watch the fluid level in the reservoir for
approximately 30 seconds. If some bubbling occurs and the fluid level goes down, pour in more
liquid until the reservoir is once again full.
Note: Because a slow rate of evaporation can occur in the conditioners, verify that the fluid level is right up to
the brim of the reservoir before putting the cap back on. Add liquid, if necessary.
4. Replace the cap on the conditioner reservoirs.
3-7 Emergency Stop Check
1. Verify that when the Emergency Stop button is pressed, it removes all power supplied to the system
equipment except for the workstation.
2. With system power still off, reconnect the RS232 (IDC) cable to the conditioner.
3. Power system on again, using procedure described earlier in this section.
4. Unlock the power supply in the DSA and screw it back into its original place.
5. Put the covers back onto the DSA.

a. Open Advantx console and set SW1–5 to ON (opposite setting of SW1–1&2).
b. Reboot the system by pushing the System Reset button on the Advantx console.
c. Set SW1–5 to OFF (same setting as SW1–1&2) and close the console.
2. Verify that pushing the Trial/Field Light button on the handswitch causes the collimator field light to
turn on.
SECTION 5
ADVANTX CONFIGURATION
5-1 Before You Begin
Once the Advantx portion of the Configuration is started, the system must not be RESET or powered off
at the systems cabinet until all of the required configuration steps are completed. Failure to do so, may
cause the system to “hang” which will then require a complete re-initialization of the database and require
the Advantx configuration process to be restarted from the beginning.
Configuration procedures written in this manual are specifically for the Revolution XQ/i system. They are
designed to optimize service and installation. Other options may be displayed on the configuration
software screens during these procedures that do not relate to this system. These are not explained in
this manual and should be ignored.
