1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The radiological system requires regular checks and maintenance. The following
recommendations have the aim of helping the operator to keep the apparatus in good working and
safe conditions during service.
The system contains mechanical parts subject to wear according to use: following prolonged
use, wear on parts may decrease safety during use. For this reason, it is essential for the checking
and maintenance operations indicated below to be carried out consistently to protect the operators
and patients against any damage caused by mechanical breakdowns.
Correct adjustment of the electrical and electronic systems has a direct influence on the
operation of the system, on the quality of the image and on the electrical safety of the system, as
well as on the level of exposure to radiation the operators and patients are subjected to.
The M
and interventions to be carried out by specialised personnel authorised by the manufacturer. All
maintenance operations are the responsibility of the owner of the apparatus.
AINTENANCE PROGRAMME, described in the following paragraphs, consists of controls
Should it be necessary to replace components or parts which may in any way
!
condition the safety of the machine, only use original spare parts.

1.4 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Products with a high content of alcohol, corrosive and/or abrasive detergents or solvents must
not be used to clean the surfaces of the apparatus.
To disinfect the system, only use methods in compliance with the laws in force regarding
disinfection and protection procedures against explosion.
To carry out the cleaning and disinfection operations, take the following precautions:
turn the system off and disconnect the mains power supply cable
make sure that no liquid gets into the apparatus so as to avoid any short-circuits or
corrosion of the electrical and electromechanical parts.
The unit has not to be used in presence of anaesthetic and/or infiammable
disinfectant and cleaning products.

of 800 ms;
take the Radiography Command pushbutton.
For maximum operator safety, at this point it is advisable to temporarily disable

the X-ray command signal by disconnecting the wire coming from S22-X4-3.
only press the first click of the Radiography Command
pushbutton (preparation pushbutton);
check that the stator is supplied with a voltage of about 230 Vac
for approximately 0,8 seconds. If necessary, adjust this time

4 KV ADJUSTMENT
4.1 ADJUSTMENT “SET-UP” VOLTAGE
The SET KV voltage is supplied by the microcomputer and must be adjusted according to the
relationship kV/20 (i.e.: 1V = 20kV).
First of all, enter the S
ET-UP procedure, following the instructions
indicated in the previous paragraph;
On board S19/B connect the probes of a Vdc digital multimeter
between CP1-10 (+) and TP11 (-);
in Set-up select "kV ADJ at 40 kV";
adjust the value until a reading of 2,00 V is obtained on the
voltmeter;
in S
ET-UP select "kV ADJ at 120 kV";
adjust the value until a reading of 6,00 V is obtained on the
voltmeter;
exit the S
ET-UP procedureby using the key;
then select 100 kV, 80 kV and 60 kV, checking that the voltage
read on the voltmeter is V

EASUREMENTS
• To measure the Filament Current, connect an ammeter with true
RMS reading in series with terminal CP6-2 of board S15. Set
the full-scale to 1A in AC.
• to measure the anode mA in RADIOGRAPHY, connect the probe
of an oscilloscope between test points TP6 (+) and TP11 (-) of
board S19/B to display the wave form of the mA (reading
correspondence is 1V = 50 mA) and between test points TP3
(+) and TP11 (-) of board S19/B to display the wave form of
the kV (reading correspondence is 1V = 20 kV).

8 CHECKING THE RADIOGRAPHIC PARAMETER
After having completed the operations indicated in the previous paragraphs (§ 2, § 4, § 5), it is
necessary to check the values of the signals proportional to the kV and to the mA which come from
NVERTER. The tolerance for the kV signal is ± 5% whereas for the mA it is ± 15%.
