In order to assure the proper operation of our equipment and subsequently, the production of high-qua lity radiographs, it is es se ntial that all pow er r e q u irements, as sp ec if ied in
the tables that follow, are suitably met by the facility in which the equipment is installed.
This includes usage of the proper size conductor between distribution transformer and disconnect switch, connection to a supply transformer of sufficient capacity (specified in
terms of KVA), insuring the AC input voltage tolerance meets specification (±5% or ±10%
depending on model), and voltage regulation of 5% at full load is maintained. All wiring
and grounding at the installation site must be in accordance with applicable National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local electrical codes.
THe generator requires a 3-phase "Y" connection, measured line-to-line, balanced to
earth or neutral. The "Y" connection can be 4-wire (L1, L2, L3, Neutral) and GND or
3-wire (L1, L2, L3) and GND. The 4-wire connection may be required by local electrical code and in connection where a roughly balanced 3-phase source exists (e.g.,
when using a delta-to-Y transformer).
Note that failure to comply with the above requirements not only may result in
improper generator operation and/or performance, but it will also void the warranty,
as the warranty is exclusive of the following conditions:
•"Failure of customer to prepare the site or provide power requirements or
operating environmental conditions in compliance with any applicable
instructions or recommendations of QMI.
•"Failure of customer to provide the proper incoming power required to support
the equipment in accordance with the recommendation of QMI.
•"Improper or extraordinary use of the Product, improper maintenance of the
Product, or failure to comply with any applicable instructions or
recommendations of Quantum Medical Imaging, LLC.

NOTE: All single-phase x-ray generator input ratings assume the use of a
single-phase distribution transformer. When utilizing two legs of a 3phase transformer, review the National Electrical Code and any applicable local electrical code(s) to ensure the correct rating distribution
transformer (in terms of KVA) is used to assure line stability. This
configuration would require an increase in the overall power (KVA) of
the distribution transformer, depending on whether the input line
transformer is Wye or Delta type. Under no circumstances should a
Delta type transformer be used for input power to a 3-phase generator.
SINGLE-PHASE X-RAY GENERATORS

OVERVIEW
This chapter provides procedures for installing the HF Series x-ray generator, from
pre-installation guidelines to final system inspection prior to operational readiness.
These procedures should be reviewed carefully before beginning the actual installation. Preparing the X-r ay generator f or operation require s completion of the following
tasks:
•Installing the X-ray generator cabinet
•Installing the Operator Control Panel (OCP)
•Making the Electrical Cable Connections
•Power-up
•Calibrating the generator
•Inspecting the system
•Verifying programmed techniques
WARNING! Equipment installation and servicing
procedures should be performed by properly
trained and qualified service personnel only.
PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
While site planning is the customer's responsibility, the following are recommended guidelines.
Verify Equipment Location
In radiology site preparation, it is essential to verify the location and space
allocated for the equipment is sufficient. See Figures 1-1 through 1-3 for HF
Series x-ray generator dimensions. The room plan should show the following
for the equipment:
•All working and parked positions
•Overall dimensions
•Total equipment weights and power outputs
•Structural mounting and attachment methods
Ensure sufficient air circulation space is provided between the rear side of
Generator Cabinet and wall (4.0" min.). The floor where the generator is
installed should be flat and approximately level (minor shimming is acceptable) and capable of supporting a load of 500 lbs. (226.8 kg).
If the generator is equipped with the "Q-Connect option" (ethernet adapter
for connection to Q-VISION or for integration with a Digital Radiographic System), the associated computer monitor functions as the generator operator
control panel (OCP). If the workstation is qualified to standard UL 60950/IEC

the compression gasket on the cable terminal, as it is necessary for
proper contact between cable nut and flare.
4.Insert the cable terminal into the receptacle socket (watch the nipple on
the terminal to ensure correct positioning of the contact pins). Coat the
entire surface of the cable terminal insulator with insulating
compound (supplied with cables) using clean, dry plastic spoon
or wooden stick. Do not use fingers. Fully cover the entire surface
with a heavy coat (approximately 1/16" to 1/8"). Build a pyramid at the
tip of the terminal with the height of the compound even with the contact
ends.
5. With terminal key aligned with receptacle key way, insert the cable terminal into receptacle until all excess compound has oozed out. Make sure
the contact pins are engaged in the holes in the socket insulator. Wipe
off any excess compound.
6.Tighten the cable nut while holding the cable firmly in place. Re-tighten
after calibration as some loosening may take place after the housing has

INITIAL POWER UP
With the generator completely assembled and when electrical checks are complete, the system is ready for initial power up. Proceed as follows:
Chapter 2 Assembly & Installation
1. Set ON/OFF circuit breaker CB1 on the generator cabinet to ON position.
2. Set the power on/standby switch on the Operator Control Panel or Power/
Expose Control Box on Q-VISION equipped generators to the on () posi-
tion.
3. The system begins the start up sequence (the "Welcome Screen" is displa yed
and "Testing. Standby." is flashing). After a few seconds, the normal operation screen will display.
IMPORTANT! If the system is a STORED ENERGY
(SE) type, and it has been longer than one month
since being shipped from factory, allow the system approximately four hours to re-charge the
batteries before taking any exposures. The system must be turned on with auto-shutoff disabled
to re-charge. Refer to "Generator Time-out Setting" paragraph in Chapter 3, CALIBRATION for
detailed instructions.
4. If necessary, the operator control panel LCD display intensity can be
increased or decreased by adjusting the rotary potentiometer on the rear side
of the operator console.
TRANSFORMER TAP VALIDATION
1. On single-phase non-SE versions, using a DMM, measure the DC voltage
across the (+) and (-) terminals of the Anode DC capacitor bank (i.e., C13C16). The voltage should be 400 (±20) VDC. If not, re-check line voltage
and adjust transformer taps as required. (Refer to "Transformer Line Adjustment" procedure in this chapter for detailed instructions.)
2. On SE versions, verify that 220VAC (±10%) exists between A8P1-4 and
A8J1-7. If these voltages are out of range, test the incoming AC line and confirm the correct taps have been selected at TB1. Monitor the charger output
voltages at A8TP2 (positive supply) and A8TP3 (negative supply) while allowing the chargers to recharge the battery tray(s) until each test point rises to
±205 (±1.0) VDC. Note: Charging to these levels may take up to 2 hours. If
these levels cannot be achieved, check the integrity of the batteries in the
affected side of each tray.
3. On three-phase models (see Figures 6-49 and 6-50), correct transformer tap
connections will yield
220 VAC measured between phases A, B and C as follows:
a. Phase A located on Line Monitor Board A8 Fuse F4.
b. Phase B located on Line Monitor Board A8 Fuse F5.
c.Phase C located on Line Monitor Board A8 Fuse F6.
d. In addition, using a DMM, measure 265 VAC between terminal block
TB1 (neutral) and each Phase A, B and C.
Revision W HF Series X-ray Generators - Service Manual
2-48Quantum Medical Imaging
Chapter 2 Assembly & Installation
DC voltage measurement should be made across the (+) and (-) terminals of the
anode DC capacitor bank (i.e., capacitors C13 - C16). The measured voltage
should be +400 (±20) VDC. If not, re-check line voltage and adjust transformer
taps as required to achieve as close to +400 VDC as possible.
