Important notes on start-up 1

The MAMMOMAT is adjusted, programmed and tested in the factory, leaving the adapta-
tion to the on-site mains vol tage, adjust ment of t he AEC and t he funct ional tests t o be per­formed.

When the measurements to be made (kV, mAs, etc.) are within the tole rances stated in
these instructions, th is confirms that the settings made in the factory have not changed
and the equipment is fully serviceable.

The measured values marked with
entered in the "start-up" column in the test certificate provided.

The service PC is required only for programming according to:

? in Chapter 10 "Checks with high voltage" shall be

• Chapter 10 "Checks with h igh voltage"

• Chapter 11 "Calibrat ing and adjusting the AEC"

• Chapter 12 "Testing"

• Chapter 13 "Further programming"

• Chapter 19 "Final procedur es"

Description of the Service-PC syntax is found in Chapter 21 "Appendix".

If the genera t o r is switched off with th e Service PC conn e c te d ,
wait approximately 5 s before switching it on again.

Checking and recording for the area of application of the X-ray decree (§16 Germany)

In the area of application of the X-ray decree, an acceptance test certificate is supplied,
with most of the data filled in by the factory.

Only:

• the cut-off dose

• the resolution of th e film/screen systems used

• the output values of the constancy test

must be determined by the owner of the equipment and recorded in the acceptance test

WARNING

Protective measures 2

It is very important that any intervention in the equipment will start with disconnecting it
from the power supply with the main circuit-breaker. Before removing or inserting any of
the printed circuit board, switch of the equipment. To prevent accidental triggering of high
voltage and radiation, set the switch S2 (SS) on p.c. board D702 to "OFF" (lower pos itio n,
no triggering of the SS relay).

If the system is only switched off at the control panel or with
S2/D711, line voltage will still be present at the generator line
connection, line filter Z1, Z2, transformer T1, transformer T10 and
p.c. board D711 (see wiring diagram).

After shut-down of the system, there may still be 380 V DC
present on the intermediate circuit. This will be indi cated by LED
V24 on p.c. board D710. The voltage will drop to less than 30 V
within about 3 minutes, the LED goes out at about 30 V.

2 - 1

The p.c. boards contain electrostatic highly sensitive components
requiring particular care in the ir handling (ground before making
contact and place only on a conductive surface).

The edges of the metal curtain of the stand are very sharp and
may cause severe injury. Apply the protective strips as mentioned
in section Protective Measures after removing the covers from th
the stand. Remove the protective strips only when the covers are
to be mounted or when vertical adjustment of the swivel-arm
system is necessary.

Main voltage connection 5

The equipment has been set to 400 V, 2-phase, in the factory (see test certificate).

Adjustment to the line frequency is not needed. If the mains volt age is not 400 V, 2-phase
at the installation site, a reconnection of the mains is necessary.

Should a reconnection for the mains voltage be necessary, this must be done at trans­former T10 as well as p.c. board D711 (insertion or removal of fuses and labeling is spec­ified in the wiring diagram, see Line Input page 5-3).

Change the rated voltage labels to the correct voltage (there are two labels on the gener­ator and one on the stand). Labels are included in the installation material.

For more details about changing mains, insertion or removal of
jumpers, fuses, labeling etc., see Wiring Diagram.

Configuration of the AEC 11

Definitions 11 Object table group 11

An object table group contains all obj ect tables of the same type. Ther e are four groups of
object tables - Grid, No grid, Magnifi cation and Stereo. For example the object table group
Grid, consists of Grid 18x24 and Grid 24x30.

General conditions 11

When performing the settings in this chapter, there are some general conditions valid for
all settings:

• The detector is to be i n chestwall position.

MAM00616

• The AEC calibration plexi (part no. 65 61 240) must extend at least 10 mm beyond the

chestwall edge of the table and be center ed, see Fig. 2, Page 11 - 7. Place the AEC
calibration plexi in the same po sition for all exposures.

Reference cassette 11

Every MAMMOMA T should hav e a reference casset te. Use this r eference cassette where
required and for the settings in this chapter. If there is no dedicated reference cassette,
pick one cassette, mark it and use it for the settings in this chapter.

Film 11

When calibrating the wings and t he correction tables , it is p ossible to use th e same film for
each exposure. However, when setting the sensitivity, the operator needs to check the
optical density and the film must be exchanged and develop ed between every exposure.

Mains voltage 11

Unless otherwise stated, the mains voltage and system must be ON and the ser vice PC
program running, before performing any sett ing in this chapter.

Sensitivity conditions 11

• One step (1/8 E.P.) corres ponds to approximately 0.06 O.D. with an incr emental gamma

of 5.

• Measure the optic al density on the emulsion side of t he film.

NOTICE

Correction of the measured Optical Density (O.D.) 11

Due to variations in the developing conditions (see also Normal developing conditions)
the measured optical density of one specific image migh t not correspond to the adjusted
optical density (sensitivity setting). Therefore the optical densi ty has to be corrected for
the variations in the developing conditi ons.

This correction has to be made for

1. fine setting of sensitivity correction

2. setting of sensitivity

3. final testing.

Procedure 11

• - For grid/no gri d: cover the area far from the chestwall side with metal plate (part no.

65 52 28).

- For magnification: place metal pl ate (part no. 65 61 026) inside the magni fication table
as close as possible to the cassett e to prevent scattered radiation and cov er the area far
from the chestwall side.

• Develop all fil ms with a sensitometer strip on t he part that was covered by the metal plate

(part no. 65 52 728 or 65 61 062).

• Measure the optical density in two places: OD

• Calculate the corr ected O.D. as follows:

Normal developing conditions 11

When measuring the O.D., it is essential that the working conditions are as close to nor­mal as possible. There are several parameters t hat may effect the results:

• Temperature of develope r and dryer

• Feeding and developing speed

• Replenishing speed of developer and fixer (liqu ids)

If possible, develop the film among other films when t he developer is warm and st abili zed.

This section will guide you through the following steps:

• Calibration of correction tables (F3), incl uding rough setting of sensit ivity correction.

The AEC uses one correction table for each Anode/Filter/Speed combination. Each cor­rection table has separat e correcti ons for each ob ject t able group (Magn ificati on, Grid, No
grid and Stereo).
