Sampled calibration value for the return current through the four potentiometers “preset
force”, “preset angle”, “thickness” and “angle”. This retur n current is continuously moni­tored by the system. Should the return current deviate too much from the calibration
value, this is probably due to a faulty potentiometer or due to a contact failure with one of
the potentiometers, which results in error code 825 or 826.

With this function activa ted, the casset te symbol on the contr ol panel will light up when the

inserted cassette has been exposed or if no cassette is insert ed a t all. Exposure release
is in this case blocked. The film cassette must be exchanged after each exposure.

During service it might be helpful to set the switch to “OFF”. When finishing service, do not
forget to set it back to the original setting.

Indicates the adapted filament current of both anode materials for large and small focus.
Adaption exposures for the filament current are also made in this menu.
Pressing F3 sets the exposure parameters on the control panel, and subsequently press-

ing Alt-F6 starts the exposure. Repeat this procedure until the tube-current deviation is

within ±5%.
If the tube has been replaced, program the filament current value 200 mA lower than the

value stated in the test certificat e as a preadjust ment. (e.g. If tube value is 6900, pr ogram

6700.)
If a new filament current ha s been entered you must sav e the new value (press F2) before

the learn filament is performed.

The Dynamic-Learn-Filament may change this adjustment. But
the DLF will only learn when the exposure time is longer than 60

Up acceleration 3

To attai n desired acceleration of the lift movement, the pulse width of the motor- control
signal is ramped up. The digit is a measure of the acceleration rate ate the start of the lift
movement in upward direction. It indicates the increase of the duty cycle on the signal for
each change event, which occurs every 10 ms.
Admissible values: 1 - 99. The higher the value the faster the acceleration.

“Dose monitoring has responded”

Displayed on PC: Exposures aborted by dose monitoring

Description

The IONTOMAT PM measures the dose accumulated within the first 100 ms and extrapo­lates it over t he time limit. If the dose calculated in this way does not reach half of the dose
reference value, the exposure is aborted prematurely. The cause may be a kV value that
has been selected too low with very thick breast. Another cause may be an interruption of
the RDL signal.

Fault elimination

Place two plexiglass plates (á 20 mm) on the object table and make an iontomatized expo­sure with 30 kV. If the exposure is terminated correctly, the error cause was a kV value se­lected incorrectly with thic k breast. If the LIMIT err or still app ears, signal path RDL must be

Description

This signal is used to check the proper operati on of the compression protect relay (Kl) on
the motor board (D802). The CPU (D801) reads the signal aft er a short delay after releasing
the compression pedal in order to check that the relay has opened and disabled motor run­ning in the compression direction. Note that the test point on D802 is protected with 4,75k.

“Compression OK Error”

Displayed on PC: Motor controller board or motor error

Description

This signal indicates an overcurr ent or lack of voltage (5V or 15V) in the compression moto r
drive. If overcurrent, t he signal appears after about 2 s and disappears a fter about 0,5 s. The
signal causes D801 to stop sending pulses to the compression drive and thu s disables the

compression motor. The red LED “comp error”, V2 light s wh en error
(comp_ok signal low) except if 5V is missing.There is no test point.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

If V2 is lit steadily, check f uses F3 ( 24V) and F2 (24VF & l5V). l5 V is indi cated by LED V49
and can be measured at test poi nt l5V on D802. Test point 24VF should measure about 30V
unloaded. 5V is indicated by LED V7 and test point 5V on D802. If 5V and 14V (normally
about 18V unloaded) are missing check Fl on D801. Missing voltages can also be caused
by an open connection in Emergency Stop Switch S880.

Overcurrent is most likely caused by a faulty motor, mechanical overloading of motorized
movement, short-circuited wiring or D805 or faulty D802.

Description

This error occurs if it takes more than 8 s for the collimator plate to move from the 18x24
position to the 24x30 position, or vice versa.

At the two positions, the test point COLL_Pl at CPU board (D801) is high (5V), and in be-

tween it is low (0V). The test point value can also be read by the service program. “Stand

Collimator position 18x24.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Switch between 24x30 and 18x24 object tables and check i f the collimator plate moves at all.
If it does not move:

- Check if the CPU sends out pulses, COLL_ST test point on D801, if not, replace
D801.

- Check if the wing board (D805) receives pulses, t e st point COLL_ST on D805,
if not check cables and connectors between D801 and D805.

- Check voltages on wing board 5V and 14V.

- Check STEP_ENABLE test point on D805, it should be low (0V) when pulses
are output to the motor.

- Check if it is at an end position, and the direction is into the end. Direction test
point COLL_D at D805 should be low (0V) when moving collimator towards the
patient. If something is wrong, check cables and connector s.

If it moves:

- Check if the collimator position 18x24 light switch works as in the description
above.

- Check if it moves the whole time of 8 s. If it does but apparently not reaches the
other position in time, then something may be in the way that slows the speed
down, or the motor may be faulty. In the last case, try changing the motor.

- If the motor stops after just a short time, either the motor or the wing board
(D805) is faulty. Try replacing one of them.

the position, in either di rection, FILT P will be high (1, 5V). This remai ns for a certain number
of stepper motor steps, different for the three f ilter posit ions, until there is a long part where

FILT P is low again. The test point value can also be read by the service program. “Stand

The error is displayed if no area where the FILT P sensor is high, for the chosen filter, can
be found within a certain number of stepper motor steps.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Switch between the three anode/filter combin ations on the control panel and check if the fil­ter disc moves at all.

If it does not move:

- check if the CPU sends out pulses to the wing board, FILT ST test point on
D805, if not, check cables and connectors between D801 and D805 and maybe
replace CPU board (D801) or wing board (D805).

- check voltages on wing board, 5V and 14V.

- check STEP ENABLE test point on D805, it should be low (0V) when pulses are
output to the motor.

If it moves:

- check if the filter position light switch works as in the description above.

- check if it moves just slowly, then something may be in the way that slows the
speed down, or the motor may be faulty. In t he last case, tr y changing the motor .

- if the motor stops after just a short time either the motor or the wing board (D805)

If the cable is OK, D802 should be replaced.

If the voltage is 30V on the test point, the ribbon cable is open or D801 faulty.
If the voltage is OK replace D801.

There is no corresponding error for the lift & rotati on drive to
Compression OK error. If this fault occurs, D801 stops sending
pulses to D802 and the selected motor stops. The LED V12,

Note that the current limit is lower when the lift motor is running
downwards. If there are problems with lift or rotation operation
indicating over-load, look at the DRIVE_ERROR LED to determine
if the motor is overloaded.

Overloading is possible due to improper balancing (adjustment of the spring or improper
loading of the lifting carraige) or improper adj ustment of the rotation brake. Fault y motor,
short-circuited wiring or faulty D802 are other possible causes.

“Grid run error”

Displayed on PC: Grid failed to move properly

Description

The grid has to move properly from start. This is supervised by the CPU. The CPU measures
the time from start till the grid has reached one of the end positions and then been abl e to
leave it.
To check that the grid runs properly and not jams, the time f or the grid to move between the
two end positions is also measured the first time.
If the time for start or run check exceeds 2 sec, this error will appear.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Check programming of Grid fast speed (normall y 80%) and Grid fast speed time (normally
500 ms).

Check the bucky board, fir st tr y another boa rd. Make s ure the grid moves fr eely t hrough i ts
whole travel in both directions.

Check the output voltage at t est poi nt GRID_M on D802 . At 80% speed and nomina lly 3 0V
on 24VF, GRID_M should be 30 - 0 .8*30 = 6V during fast grid movement. Check for possible
short circuits if the s ignal remains about 30V. This voltage goes to the bucky via board D805
and its relay Kl. Test poi nt GRID_SP on D802 is the c ontrol signal f rom D801. It i s a 5V, 20

kHz PWM signal. At 80% speed, the si gnal should be low about 40 µs and high about 10 µs
per period. Replace D802 i f th e cor rect outpu t is not achieve d desp it e proper input , cabling
and bucky.

“Motor voltage error”

Displayed on PC: Stand motor voltage drops unnaturally

Description

The CPU (D801) measures voltage 24VF f rom the motor board (D802). If this value is below
about 16V Er 824 is reported.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Check that the stand has voltage (generator - X14 connected, F4 OK). The stand display
should be on.

Check that the Emergency Stop is not activated and that its wiring is OK.
Check that LED V49, 15V, is lit. If not, check fuses F2 and F3 on D802 in the stand.
Check voltage 24VF (measure with reference to test point 0V on D802).
Check the ribbon cable between D802 and D801.
Replace D801.

“Pot missing error”

Displayed on PC: One or more potentiometers seems to have lost contact with the stand

Description

The four potentiometers, R803-tube angle, R871-preset angle, R861-preset force and
R863-thickness have their retum current through signal pot_return. This is done to assure
that no pot is missing or partly disconnected so that it can give a value le ading to improper
operation of the stan d. At st and co nfigur ation or af ter r epla cing a pot entiomet er o r the co m­pression unit, the corr ect value f or the si gnal p otent iometer chec k must be re ad and stored

in the stand’s E
value is more than 32 bits lower than the programmed value.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Check that all pots function properly. An error can be caused by an open connection, con­nector or pot. If all four pots f unction proper ly, check the programrning of pot check and cor­rect it. The need for such an adjustment may indicate a pot about to fail.

“Pot short circuit”

PROM with the Service PC Program. This error is rep orted if t he measured

Displayed on PC: There is a short circuit somewhere among potentiometers

Description

The same circuitry as Er 825 is used. In this case the error indicates that the value is more
than 32 bits higher than the programmed value.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Check the actual and progr amrned pot check val ues with the service PC p rogram. If the va l­ue is only slightly too high, chec k all pots for mechanical damage or sensitivity. A shor t circuit
(pot or wiring) should give max value for pot_check (3FF).

“Collimator position error”

Displayed on PC: Collimator position is wrong

Description

After having positioned the col limator plate with the hel p of collimator posit ion 18x24 sensor
(COLL_Pl test point) the colli mato r posit ion 24x3 0 sens or (C OLL_P2 test point) is c hecked
as an extra security. I f the value of the sensor does not match the reached positio n the error
is displayed. The value of COLL_P2 should be high (1, 5V) at the posit ion for the 18x24 ob­ject tables.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Check if the two collimator pos ition switches work as in the desc ription above. Check cables
and connectors. Check if the collimator plat e mov es the whole way between the two posi­tions, otherwise see Err 816.

“Collimator package move error”

Displayed on PC: Beam limiting device does not reach flank in time

Description

At a switch of anode material and/or focus the control function on CPU board (D801) will first
move the beam limiting device (collimator package) in the direction where it will notice a
change in the collimator package position sensor, a flank.

The signal from collimator package position sensor can be f ound at test point FOCUS_P on
D801.

The test point value can also be read by the service program. “Stand tests/Switches” will
show all switches. The name there is Beam li mit in g device. The point where the chan ge (0­>1 or 1->0, OV->5V or 5V->OV) will take place, the flank, lies in the middle of the moving
area of the collimator package, and between the two positions for Moll y Large focus and
Wolfram Large focus.

After having reached the flank, it will output a certain nbr of stepping motor steps in the di­rection of the wished focus position.

The error is displayed if the f lank cannot be sense d within a cert ain number of ste pping mo­tor steps.

Fault elimination, trouble shooting

Switch between W and Mo anode materials with the anode/filter combinations buttons on
the control panel and check if the collimator package moves at al l.

If it does not move:

- check if the CPU sends out pulses to the wing board, FOCUS_ST test point on
D805, if not, check cables and connectors between D801 and D805 and maybe
replace CPU board (D801) or wing board (D805).

- check voltages on wing board, 5V and 14V.

- check STEP ENABLE test point on D805, it should be low (0V) when pulses are
output to the motor.

- check if it is at an end position, and the direction is into the end. Direction test
point FOCUS_D at D805 should be low (0V) when moving collimator package
up (towards the tube).

If something is wrong, check cables and connectors.
If it moves :

- check if the collimator package position light switch works as in the description
above.

- check if it moves just slowly, then something may be in the way that slows the
speed down, or the motor may be faulty. In t he last case, tr y changing the motor .

- if the motor stops after just a short time either the motor or the wing board (D805)
is faulty. Try replacing one of them.
