The OP200 has many safety functions and features
assuring the safe operation of the equipment. In the event
of certain user failures or system malfunction the unit does
not produce x-rays and a failure code is displayed on the
control panel.
2.1Microswitches and position indicators
There are 15 to 18 microswitches a nd
opto sensors in OP200 models to
detect the position of the various
movements of the equipment. All
switches are wired to the I/O Board,
and the microprocessor reads the
status of the switches every 20 ms. The
name of the swit ch is the same as the
name of the signal to the
microprocessor. Open switch is 5 V,
and closed switch is 0 V signal level in I/O Board. Their
operation can be checke d by using Servic e Prog ram Sr 74
IOC.
2.2General, failure messages
In case of malfunction, the unit displays a failure message.
Various letters and numbers are disp la yed in the technique
factors display positions next to kV, mA and s. Failure code
classification is displayed next to kV. A special failure code
number is displayed next to mA with alphanumeric
information in the s-display.
kV display
Letters in the kV-display indicate the nature of the failure,
whether it is caused by user (eg. wrong collimator
selected), environment (eg. low line voltage) or protection
in the unit (eg. tubehead too hot), or whether there is a
serious defect in the unit, which disables the complete
operation (eg. program memory error):

At the beginning of the exposure the state
of the PANCASSW signal is read. The
indicator for panoramic film cassette,
optical sensor (D1), is located inside the
cassette holder, behind the cassette
carriage. When the cassette is inserted
the actuator on the cassette carriage
moves the cam away from the optical fork,
thus activating the PANCASSW signal.
Error occurs when the exposure, other
than cephalometric, is initiated and 1) the
signal is not active or 2) the signal has not
